    Great Grails..!!!

    I'm collecting all my Grails this year as well.. Once I pay off some vintage grails, I'm buying the Thing and Sue Richards. Those Spideys and Ironman's look better each time I look at one, so they'll be next..!

          Thing

          Congrats! The toughest part for me in finding a loose Thing was finding one that didn't have a busted knee pin. Great looking figure!

                I was very worried he'd show up with busted knee pins, but they are super tight. Of course they still may fall apart, but I'll worry about that when/if it happens.

                  Happy Birthday and yeah, The Thing's one of the all-time best Megos (IMHO)!

                  Hm, my B-Day is in October, I wonder what I'll get myself...

                      But then you get down to the last few & it's nerve-racking lol

                        HAppy Birthday and awesome get!

                        There's something about the silk-screened Thing and Torch suits that are so very Mego. They really brought back a nostalgic rush when I picked those two up. Enjoy!
                        WANTED - Solid-Boxed WGSH's, C.8 or better.

                          Yeah, I love the suits on Torch and Thing. The simpler the better IMO. Man, I would have torn up The Thing if I'd had him as a kid, just like I did with my Hulk Megos. He's so squat and sturdy!
                          I don't know how much bigger my collection will grow. I'm really only interested in Marvel figures, and mainly the ones whose comics I actually read. I definitely need to hunt down a Green Goblin, and I may try and get a Captain America at some point. Not sure I'm interested in too many others, but who knows, when I get into something I really get into something!

                              That's what you say now

                              We all said that in the beginning - then you see a Conan in good
                              condition or a Falcon for a good price and then you're hooked!
                              Next thing you know you're biting your nails on a silkscreened
                              Catwoman auction at 3am on a Tuesday.

                              My name is Paul and I'm a Megoholic.
