January 20th - the Absorbing Man


the Absorbing Man

a Hasbro Marvel Legends figure

The Absorbing Man has fought many heroes in the Marvel Universe, among them Thor, the Incredible Hulk, and the Avengers. His deal is that he can absorb the physical properties of anything he touches, be it gas, liquid, solid or even pure energy. I imagine he has to concentrate on this quite a bit, otherwise he could get into quite a jam. I mean, he's probably very vulnerable to attack if he has to use the bathroom and doesn't keep his guard up: a man made of porcelain in a seated position wouldn't stand a chance when Hulk-goes-a-smashin'. Man, can't a guy go in peace?!

January 10th - Howard the Duck


Howard the Duck

a Marvel Legends figure from Toy Biz

Howard the Duck, a Marvel Comics creation, got his very own action figure! Wow, how random! And he came packed as an accessory with the Silver Surfer?! Huh? I guess that's cool for the sake of variety. I mean, they could have just put out another version of Spider-man in some ridiculous costume variation that he would never wear:
