Most Requested Figures: DC Classics Arkillo (Poll)

NoisyDvL538

Sometimes as toy collectors, we can look acro- Hold up. We're interrupting our regularly scheduled MRF for a late special edition. I had another article for today. It was for a character that, at the very least, should've already had a DC Direct figure or even a JLU figure from Mattel by now. It was a character that's over sixty years old and though he's never been a front-liner, he's always top of mind when you think of Golden Agers. But I decided against running it today.

MOTUClassics.Com: Scareglow Review

When I was a kid, my grandparents would take me to flea markets on a regular basis. I would happily run around looking for the stray action figure while they looked at whatever it is grown-ups look for (I never figured that out, I'm still looking for those stray toys at flea markets). Now, there was one flea market that usually delivered more than the others. I remember getting Ghostbusters, Gobots, Joes, M.A.S.K., and even Super Powers figures there. I picked up Cyclotron and my first Golden Pharaoh for $1 each one time. When I was nine, I found a He-Man figure I'd never seen before. He was a skeleton, so I assumed he was some version of Skeletor. I didn't know there was a cape and a halberd missing. I didn't care though, he was made of glow-in-the-dark plastic and I thought that was the coolest thing (still do). He quickly became one of my favorites.
