Here are the Dragon, Alligator, Rhino and Tiger Mutants.

Dan, those are great. I think I like the Alligator man the best.

While waiting to check out at Toys R Us, I saw these Mario question block candies at the register. The candies are in the shapes of coins, and the question blocks are tin cases. I only bought them for the question block cases, I threw out the candies. I think they make great display pieces, especially with the new articulated Mario figures.

Finally found an 8-Bit Luigi to go with 8-Bit Mario. I tried stores like Target and Toys R Us, and I end up finding him in Walgreen's of all places lol.

After the gym today, I went to the Corrado's pet store on the other side of the strip mall and I found this awesome poystone fish tank decoration by BioBubble.

It is called the "Giant Leech" and resembles a creature straight out of "Dungeons & Dragons"! It is missing a small row or rubber sea anemone-like tentacles that go between the body and the neck so I got it for 20% off of the retail price. I have some great tentacles in one of my creature boxes in the garage that will go in the gap at some point in the near future. It needs a complete repaint as well since they factory applied paint is just a sloppy dry brush effort. The neck is "articulated" to the point that it can be rotated at the base to point different directions.

Now I have a great new creature for my fantasy menagerie

More pics including 1 with a 3.75" knight for scale.

Dan that is so cool. I love all that fantasy stuff you have. I used to love D and D as a kid. I wonder if they still play it anymore? I guess they do.

My beautiful wife got me a late Valentines' Day gift today.

She got me Neca's original 1954 version of Godzilla!

Picked up a Cat Luigi figure today. I'm not a fan of this new power-up, but any Luigi figure is gladly welcomed. I think I should be caught up until the next wave.

(Inserting a stock photo as I don't feel like taking him off the shelf lol)

Scored 2 more of the newest Schleich castles for $9.97 (with free store pick up) from Walmart.com!

I came up with this configuration using all 3 of these castles that I now own.

The remaining grey pieces will be used for other projects.

[The Spectre]

I came up with a much better configuration for my 3 Schleich Big Knights Castles!

The configuration in the post above was too narrow front to back. This new configuration allows for far mor room for figures/beasts/ fantasy gear to be displayed without looking too cramped.

After taking these pics, I moved the tower in the back to the front right of the castle and it looks even better.

That is one awesome set up. Wow, what a steal at ten bucks a piece.

After running a bunch of errands I needed to do after work, I found myself in the vicinity of the Bergen Town Center (formerly the Bergen Mall). I hit the TRU down below and having no luck there hit the Target in the mall proper where I FINALLY found the "Marvel Legends" Defenders Of Asgard comic pack I have been hunting for over a week.

 Everywhere I went, I always found the other 2 sets (Machine Man/Iron Man and Vance Astro/Falcon Cap) but no Lady Thor/Odinson sets until today. This was the only Marvel item I saw at Toy Fair that was worth picking up.

 I mainly wanted it for the Odinson, who will be a big meathead barbarian in my fantasy diorama. Lady Thor will hang out with my movie Asgardians on a different shelf or possible be a female Titan as she is taller than most of my regular 3.75" fantasy figures.

I saw your post on FB about that Thor set. It is so nice to see comic sets out again. So hope they do the same thing again for SW Comics.
