My Marvel Legends Hawkeye figure has been being a jerk the last week or so, repeatedly jumping off the shelf where I keep my collection, presumably because he sees a Kree spaceship or something.
To teach him a lesson, I have placed him upside down in a glass mug surrounded by plush bunnies, Teen Titans PVCs, an Iz from The Maxx and a Hello Kitty painting on cardboard.
Note how I have placed his bow above him, just tantalizingly out of his reach, and located him near a portrait of himself in happier times. I fully recognize this belies a sadistic streak on my part.
Unfortunately for him, I don't have the Scarlet Witch figure, so he'll just have to wait this one out.
It cracks me up that you own an Iz toy. Did you read The Maxx?
ReplyDeleteI didn't read it when it came out, but I watched the cartoon on MTV and really got into it, so I went back and read as much as we had of it at Wizard (in part because I was doing the Messner-Loebs piece). The story fascinates me.
ReplyDeleteThe Iz toy was definitely just something I found in the warehouse though.
I used my mug from Dano's wedding last night as well. It is a glorious cup for drinking and entombing action figures.
ReplyDeleteIt really is. I just grabbed the first mug available, but the craftsmanship is impeccable and the fact that my name is on the front really adds a lot, I feel.
