I have a bunch of random Funko Pops.  I actually just made three custom ones of myself, my wife and my daughter for Valentine's day.  They just got here today.

I also have a mini Darth Vader statue from the Collector's Edition of a Star Wars game.

My mom found my original Voltron figure I got when I was a kid.  She even found the original box.  I have it on my bookshelf in my home office.

The only other figure I have is the Transformer named Rollbar since it looks like my Jeep.

Picked up another one of my childhood toys. I actually had this up until a year ago and like an idiot I threw it out when we were going through stuff to move. I've been kicking myself for it all that time.

This is a picture of it on the eBay listing:

This is what it looks like now:

I tried to straighten the rotor blades using the boiled water method but it didn't work. I did straighten the wings using the boiled water method, they were all kinda of twisted. The canopy was also broken at the clip that goes into the helicopter. I fixed it with super glue and baking soda. It's still wonky and I might change it out for a different canopy I have.

I still have Recondo who pilots it. He's got a busted thumb and he's missing his pack and rifle. I'm going to get those together. I also have Tripwire who for some reason the box art had him as the gunner. I still need to get his weapons.

I was finding the Tiger Fly (vehicle I posted above) anywhere between $90 for a clapped out broken mess missing everything to $700 for a complete one with box, file card, driver and all accessories.

The one I bought was $158 and it was missing two missiles, the skids, the driver and his accessories.

The Tiger Paw:

Was anywhere between $100 and $200. This one I found for $100 and it was complete minus the little hose that went between the side cannon and the ATV. Which I found for $30. I already had Dusty and Lifeline but had to buy their accessories again and they weren't cheap.

1988 is when Tiger Force came out. I only ever had two, the Tiger Fly and Tiger Paw. I had a bunch of the regular vehicles but the Tiger Force was my favorite.

I think I've got a wickett, a speederbike trooper, and a couple newer SW figures, and an old loader from aliens.

Not really action figures but 1/4 and 1/3 scale Alien and Predator statues.

Yeah, I’m a huge fuckin nerd.

The last action figure I had as a kid was Wild Bill from GI Joe that came with the XH-1 Dragonfly helicopter (which helped inspire my love of the aircraft).

But alas......he was burned up in a homemade pyrotechnic device which was implanted in one of my model aircraft.

RIP Wild Bill.

I like Star Wars but the Black Series don't do anything for me. I have a bunch but they seem to just recycle figures with very little improvement on them and there's a lot of just stupid ones.

Got a few.  Nothing spectacular. Most were gifts from family and I like that they always know what to get me.
