In The Details

I have very fond memories of my toys from my childhood. For those that don't know, I grew up in the 80's and some in the 90's. But what I seem to remember as the awesome toys of my youth, those were all 80's tv show tie in toys. And I loved them that way. I can remember playing with my G.I. Joe's, or Transformers, or Ninja Turtles and even He-Man action figures with friends around the street.

That brings me to today, some 20 years later. It seems the world knows that back in the 80's they got us hooked on these brands, and now that we're older, we like a different type of toy, one that seems a bit more "collectable" than the old ones. Please note however, that this toy discussion does not include LEGO. I've been an adult fan for about 10 years now (wow, I hadn't realized I'd been collecting that long until just now...), but I wasn't REALLY into as a kid.

This picture today is a close up shot of some detail of a toy called "Mighty Muggs", google it if you've never heard of it. I got one of them for christmas from Jenn (Iron Man) because thought it looked cool. I recently picked up this little guy, whose name I will reveal in an upcoming post (try to guess), who is part of the G.I. Joe line of these same toys. Either way, I love the attention to detail that they have on them. Enjoy!
