UFC ACTION FIGURE HAUL!

I spotted these figures for $5.99 at OLLIE'S and snatched them up! I scored several figures that I've been wanting with this haul. There were a couple more figures that I.don't have that I didn't get but I wanted all of these! If the other figs are there after payday I'll pick them up too.

I talked to the manager and he told me that this was the first shipment for Christmas that they got in yesterday and they just put them out today.

He also let me know to check back on.Mondays and Wednesdays because they will be getting new shipments every week. Nice!

Wow, my magazines for my Mossberg 702 came in only 3 days! The rifle only came with one magazine but, I'm a firm believer that you need at least two mags per gun so I ordered two.

And I got them at a great price. Walmart has them online for $15 each. That's the cheapest I've found them.

I'm still looking for the 25 round mag. They are really hard to find. Everywhere I've looked, they have been sold out. I'm wondering if the Mossberg 702 Tactical mag will fit it.

Anyway, have to go to work.

SOME OF MY OTHER TOYS

Seems like all my collections are growing. Just ordered two magazines for my Mossberg 702 since I managed to lose the only one that came with it.
I need to order additional mags for my 9mm. At least my Ruger SR22 came with two mags.
My Walter CP99 Compact came with one 15 round steel BB mag. So, I ordered two more. I think you need at least two mags per gun. 
I am planning on adding some additional after market parts to my Mossberg other than the scope that you see.
Also planning on adding a light to both my 9mm and SR22.

INSPIRATION IS WHERE YOU FIND IT

Just wanted to post pics of my heroes. I know the first one is completely made up but, I love me some Tony Stark! and of course his alter ego IRONMAN. Love his intelligence, passion, and of course...his toys!

My other hero is a real live person that I just find so inspiring. I've been going through a rough time the last couple of years and it's people like this, that make me feel like I can keep going and not give up. It's......Lyoto Machida!

I was watching a video with him today and he said, "My Father would get me up early in the morning to workout because your first opponent is you." He is focused, committed, confident, honorable and lives each day as a warrior/samurai.

Well, my next inspirational person that inspires me is...Jillian Michaels!

Love this woman! I've read the book she's holding in the pic, UNLIMITED. I am getting ready to re-read this one. This book will change the way you look and think about yourself and your situation. It will help you realize that your biggest opponent is yourself.

Okay, now I'm in for it. Here goes....

Yep, that's right! It's BATWOMAN AKA Kate Kane. I love the new BATWOMAN in the New 52. She isn't one bit afraid to be who she really is. She's Kate, she's BATWOMAN, she's a soldier and she's a lesbian. I think she rocks!

Well, that's a few of my favorites. There are more or course but, I don't want to bore you so I'll stop there.

All moved in and internet connected. I should be able to start posting some new vids by next week.

Realistic UFC headsculpts

Just a close-up of my UFC Rashad action figure showing off the awesome head sculpt. These figures have some of the best likenesses to the athletes that I have seen.

I love the attention to detail. Even on a figure this small, they have an almost flawless paint application. His brown eyes even have a single white speck added for a highlight. The skin tone is Matte finish and appears more flesh like and not the shiny appearance of some earlier series.

In the pic I posted, you can even see that they added a nice texture to his hair. His beard also carries through with a nice texture. It's hard to believe that such a quality figure offered by Jaks Pacific is only $9.99. When compared to the Marvel Legends six inch figures at $15.96 (I priced them today,) these figures are a steal.

The figure also has kept it awesome articulation boosting at least 30 points of articulation. I usually just put these figures on display and leave them in a static pose but, I love the fact that I can pose them in almost any position I want. I can even put them in fighting stances or submission holds.

I dare say, the UFC figures are fast becoming my favorite action figures to collect. I can collect all my favorite UFC/MMA fighters. When they release a series, I can get the entire series of 5 figures for $50. That fits my budget just fine.

I've already picked up Rashad and Jon "Bones" Jones from their newest offering. I'll probably pick up GSP and Faber next week.

Yep, you're seeing right. $5 for a 1/6 or 12 inch action figure with 32 points of articulatioin. Sigh. Man, those were the days! I brought this figure about 7 years ago from a Dollar General Store. They don't sell Power Team Elite 1/6 figures anymore.

I got about 4 figures from them for $5 each. This was when Power Team Elite was releasing what they call basic figures. Most of their figures come with a ton of gear but, these were primarily just the figure.

These figures by Power Team Elite/MC Toys - are in my opinion, better than the GI Joe's and cheaper. Well, got to get back to cleaning.
