Q: What’s Better Than Storing Your Action Figures in Big Plastic Tubs? v3

A: Actually having space to display them! 🙂

I waffled on whether to call this the third installment in a series of posts showing off the now not-so-new action figure display – because this is really not much of an update. In the first installment, I talked about setting up a new action figure display consisting of shelving cubes, after we put in new carpet. In the second, I talked about adding tap lights to that display.

AFP Ask Matty Round-Up for 3/15/11

We didn’t get the answers for the 3/15 edition of Ask Matty until late in the evening, so we’ll open up the day with them.

Thanks to the Mattel team!

1) We very much enjoyed all you had on display at Toy Fair. For DC Universe Classics, it seems like there was a move to themed waves with Blackest Night and Superfriends. Will later waves continue with a themed approach? We’re curious because with the themes, there seems to be less opportunity to fill in members for groups and teams you’ve started, like New Gods, Doom Patrol, the JSA, and the Metal Men.

Masters of the Universe Classics De-Flocked Moss Man Custom

Howdy from the Buzzy Cave!

A while back, the bad azz, customizer known as Arez, made a de-flocked Moss Man that caught my eye. Even though I’m a sucker for cool, ape like figures, I didn’t buy the Masters of the Universe Classics Moss Man when it was offered because I’m not a fan of flocking. But seeing Arez’s de-flocked Mossy made me realize how awesome Mossy could be without the fuzz and I thought making one of my own would be a fun, easy custom project. Fun and easy… Ha!
