Well, I Do Declare!
I do! I declare it right here!
I’ve entered the realm of super nerdry.
I’ve gotten back into collecting action figures (of a sort).
Now Lindsey collects robots, Patrick collects Japanese films, I collect Minimates.
While admitedly neither as hip nor as classy as the prior two, I like them.
They’re 2 inch tall action figures all based on an identical body (Like Kubriks) with different paint jobs (the Silver Surfer in this image).
The Galactus is actually a 14 inch tall BAF (Build-A-Figure or Bad-Ass-Figure, god help me) from the Marvel Legends line. He’s big. I liked that. I also found this over the weekend at the comic book shop and even the clerk asked if I wanted a bag to “Hide my shame”. Touche clerk. Touche.
Now if you’ll excuse me, I’m going to cry silently to myself while re-enacting that one time when the Surfer totally teams up with the FF to beat the pants of that Planet Eating Mother Effer.

Tim, I like your minimates almost as much as I like you. That’s quite a bit of liking. Also I think you have no reason to be ashamed of them; that cashier man was just jealous and grappling with his own love of minimates.

Word on the street is we may see an Onslaught/Avengers setup in a matter of days. True of false?
