Aloha CHUniverse and welcome back to Weekend Specs. Back from my yearly 3-6 month comic break. I find it’s best to step away from my passion for comics during the holidays to focus on other hobbies, so I can return with new fire towards collecting comics. Not much new news during the holidays to miss regarding TV and film so makes a good time to break. In my comic off time I collect sideshow statues, vintage horror (toys, masks, etc.), and vintage comic toy 1st appearances. So today I would like to share some of my vintage comic toy know how with you all on some cheap 1st toys for extremely popular comic characters. Most comic characters will have their first toy in Megos, which are now really pricey and from the 70’s. But some of the most followed characters these days were created in the early 90’s. I find these 4 toys mentioned below all have great potential for future gains and cheap buy ins for you all interested in not only collecting first comic appearances but also first toy appearances. I also got some Ultimate comic specs for you as well. Let’s jump in!

What up CHU!?! Shawn B., One Year Later Investigator, back with another One Year Later round up, where we take a look at some of the comics that Anthony, Mel, and Poyo specced on one year ago. Their specs turn out to be quick flips, slow burns, straight up misses, straight up winners and on and on. Sometimes they spec with their hearts out of their passion for comics. Sometimes they spec based on data. And sometimes they spec based off the word on the street. Either way, all their specs appeal to a few or many collectors whether it is due to them having similar taste in writing or art, or just an opportunity for a collector to flip a book and make money to “support their habit”. So, this is our weekly chance to look back at how some of our buys from a year ago are doing today. Continue reading “One Year Later: Spec Review for 1/18/17”
