Fractal Dreams

Oh my god, oh my god, oh my god…

Last time, I was in that blissful nirvana of unemployment, since hey, waking up late in the afternoon, shuffling around in the house sporting unkempt hair and a shaggy beard is a nice change of pace compared to those “I’m late for school” bits. So I really soaked it all in and enjoyed not doing anything.

But, then, it is inevitable that I’ll realize that I need the money, and when you’re a collector, oh, unemployment hurts so much.

There are rumors that come May, there will be hordes of action figures and collectibles for the taking. First up, Hasbro’s Iron Man Movie toys (the first wave of which has already arrived), Marvel Legend’s Two-Packs, and thankfully, Marvel Legends Wave 4 which has been delayed for now. And ever since accidentally straddling around the DC fence, I realize DC Super Heroes and DC Universe figures were good stuff too, and I missed out on their waves 1 and 2. And the best set of them all, DC Universe Wave 3, is due sometime next month. And to complicate matters, I’ve given in to the inner-fanboy in me, and found that those little men with guns, G.I. Joes, are cool, and are beyond my threshold for resisting. Frankly, I think it was a bad time to be playing Metal Gear Solid and Splinter Cell. They made my “military guys are so cool” switch jump-start again. So, I gotta add that to the list too.

Seriously, I need a job. And another display cabinet.

And finally, to list down the pending figure reviews:
G.I. Joe: Crimson Guard
DCU: Firestorm, Superman Blue, Harley Quinn
Iron Man: Iron Man Mark 1, Tony Stark Armor Prototype.

See you in a few.
