    Small pleasures in life...finding Spidey in small towns

    100_4329.jpg

    Took wife to her masters swim meet in Lacey, WA. Long day by the pool with three young kids and long drive out and back. Stumbled upon a vintage toy shop down the road from event.
    Spidey for $15 I saw on their shelf (may be wrong body but suit is a beut).

    Life is good!

      Not bad for $15... The suit head and body seperately could fetch about $30
      Guess he knew the body wasn't for Spidy so he took what he could. Good job!!!

            Am I that bloodthirsty? Or thought of so quickly that way? Spideys are to be kept and loved whenever possible, ha!

            He is a keeper as he is a reminder of the good karma I accumulated that long day (and then pulled into my driveway and raced to do an eight hour work shift)
            I feel a little bad because I was sniffing around dr. Cyclops territory...I did ask the store owner if dr. Cyclops was aware of and was coming for it (he was not) sorry Dino! The guy has more non wgsh figs and parts waiting for ya.'

                Hey! That was my Spidey! I put him on hold cause I liked the flesh hands. I thought it was a rare variant. And by 'my', I meant I didn't know of it's existance. By 'hold', I meant I stashed it in the bottom of the dollar box. By 'rare variant', I meant wrong body.
                Seriously Mike, you are so allowed to pick my territory. We represent PNW.
                My current Spidey looks so minty because of your beautiful gift of a vintage suit.
