Great custom work as always, Bill. I have always loved MASK and I can't wait to see what else you have up your sleeve.
Found two more Eels today at Army Trail Rd. Target but they still haven't put out the new jets. The Toys R Us down the street on Army Trail Rd. had four of the Greatest Battles 4-pack and two each of the new Joe and Cobra five packs. I passed the new five packs since I just wasn't sold on the paint applications for what are essentially five (unnecessary) repaints. If Hasbro wants my $60 they need to ensure that hair does not overspray onto the waxy looking skin and the boxes are made of something slightly sturdier... But I digress. I'm always sold by looking at pictures online and am invariably disappointed when I see the product up close. I sure hope the death throes, aka the upcoming 7 packs, of this line look good in hand or I'll be really burned.
That same TRU also had some of the Marvel Universe figures for $7.99 each, which seems to be the going rate for those guys. Now I don't feel so badly having bought three at Meijer yesterday. It looks like they had the majority of the first wave minus Bullseye (is he really that popular?), Daredevil, one Punisher, regular Iron Man, and Wolverine.
On a related note, the lady watching at the self check at the Walmart on Randall Rd. and Fabyan yesterday made a point to note that I was buying GI Joe toys and asking me if there was a convention or something going on. I asked what she was talking about and she said a guy had just been in there and bought $140 worth of figures. I wonder if she meant illinijoe? If that's the case then I'm sure she was exaggerating the amount spent but who knows...
