I was Toys R Us on the weekend and I'm having a hard time passing on the MacFarlane lines. I've always stuck with just Star Wars since I spend so damn much money on that stuff alone!
But I came across a couple of the Conan, Dragons and Spawn figures. Damn, he does nice stuff.
I grabbed Conan and the Gorilla (WTH was his name?) to add to the 2 older Spawn figures I grabbed last summer. I think it'll be necessary to set aside an "other toy lines" section in my Star Wars room...
I think that some of the attraction to the Spawn and Conan figures is that I was really into each comic at the beginning of their respective releases. I loved Spawn for the first 25 issues or so and then lost the comic bug altogether back in 1993 or 1994 (somewhere around there). Then Conan was released by Dark Horse last year and I really enjoyed it, but the lack of a comic shop in town has prevented me from keeping up with it.
So seeing well-done figures of characters I was really interested in makes it pretty hard to pass on. We'll see how my willpower does.
