vLog – Quick Commentary on Facebook Collectible Collectors Groups
(Action Figures, Funko Pops, HW)
I love my Facebook collector groups. I’m part of some for my Superman and Nightwing action figures, Hot Wheels, Funko Pops, and playing cards. It’s so great to get together with like-minded people, share your love of the hobby, and discover new friendships and collectibles along the way.
This video is a few words on Facebook groups or any other place online where you can get together with your collector buddies and talk shop.
Anyway, the following is why I love my Facebook Collectible Collectors Groups.
Enjoy!

REALM OF HEROES AND MONSTERS: STORY TIME with A.P. FUCHS: S03EP13 –
Under the World
Episode 13: Under the World – Anne Billoux awakes six feet under. She was certain she was dead. After all, she was the one responsible for it . . . but somehow, here, beneath the earth, she is still alive.
Welcome back to the Story Time podcast episode where you get a short story each week. This year we’re doing flash fiction as we did in Season One and we’re coming up on the halfway point of the season. Time flies.
After a hello and welcome, author and artist A.P. Fuchs delves into Story Before the Story and discusses how our online personas dictate what kind of character we are in the narrative of life and, more specifically, it’s something you initiate whether you know it or not and become a slice of fiction to others.
Then, of course, it’s right into Story Time with a superhero origin that’s a little unusual. Tune in.
Thank you for listening.
See you next week.

REALM OF HEROES AND MONSTERS: STORY TIME with A.P. FUCHS: S03EP12 –
Portraits
Episode 12: Portraits – A famous horror convention artist has a dark way of conjuring up his pictures of vampires, zombies, and werewolves . . . and it’s not just about how he uses the paint.
Welcome back to Story Time! Good to have you. After a friendly hello, A.P. Fuchs talks how we’re fed stories from others in our everyday lives and how, during the process, we begin writing one of our own to go along with the tale being told.
Life is story. Your life. My life. Their life. There is no other way around it.
As well, after the credits is a little announcement about something coming up in [ideally] March 2025. Tune in to find out what that is because it’s exciting times!
See you on the inside.
Listen.

Superman the Man of Steel in TWO different Funko Pop Comic Covers. One is from Action Comics No. 644 and other is from Justice League of America No. 217.
These are really cool Pops! and are both unique in their own way. The grayscale Superman with all the shadows is swell, and the Superman in his classic red and blue tights and in flight? Super awesome!
The Justice League Funko is a Funko Exclusive. Really happy to have it and see Superman getting a bunch of different Comic Cover editions.
Canister X Mailbag – Vampire Nightwing, Crisis on Infinite Earths,
M3Pro MetaQuest Battery Unboxing – Feb092025
This vampire Nightwing was bought on a deal and is my first superhero-monster hybrid action figure from the DC versus Vampires toy line. Very cool. As well, using some Christmas money, I picked up CRISIS ON INFINITE EARTHS Part 3 as the first two installments were also Christmas presents. Finally, we got the M3 Pro battery for MetaQuest VR. This is a belated Christmas gift to my kids due to some mix-ups over the holidays.
These are all cool items. There’s a vampire Superman on the to-buy list but this collector is waiting for the right time to purchase. This Nightwing figure will definitely be featured in a short reel for a closer look.

Last Flight
Episode 11: Last Flight – A boy in an accident, hanging on for his life. Axiom-man can’t help him so it’s a desperate flight to the hospital before the boy perishes except, Axiom-man can’t fly full speed otherwise he’ll lose the kid.
In this episode, Fuchs welcomes you back to the show, chats a short bit, then hits Story Before the Story and discusses how we’re all fictional characters in other people’s lives and why that is the case.
In Story Time, Axiom-man returns for a touching superhero adventure where, if he doesn’t work fast enough, blood will be on his hands.

Funko Friday: Star Wars | The Mandalorian Funko Pops Big and Small
Here ya go! Big Funko Pop! Small Funko Pop! All Mandalorian from Star Wars! I love this character and when I pre-ordered the big one, I had no idea it would be as big as it actually was. It was a fun and pleasant surprise. The detail of both Mando and the N1 Starfighter are amazing and so is the droid R5-D4. He looks real good, too.
Awesome.
Hope you enjoy this big Funko to small Funko comparison!
Thanks for checking out these Funko Pops!

This Superman 1978 Page Punchers action figure was on pre-order and, unfortunately, it sold out before they could get to my order. So I kept an eye on the listing and eventually it was available again, and not only that, it was on sale for a decent amount. I placed my order and the next day the price went back up to retail so I’m happy about the savings. Kind of reward for having to wait for fresh stock.
I’m so glad DC Comics is carrying on Christopher Reeve’s Superman legacy with the Superman 1978 comic book. The man did a lot for humanity both on and off the screen so deserves to be remembered. Besides, he was the Man of Steel from my childhood so will always have a special place in my heart.
This action figure is colored like a comic book because that’s the point of it: Creating a figure from off the page. McFarlane Toys did an excellent job. Even the face looks like Christopher Reeve. Well done!
I’m really pumped to have this.
Superman 1978 Page Punchers action figure is available on Amazon here.

Well, I took the plunge and opened an account with Bluesky social media as you can see from the image above. This just happened yesterday so, obviously, we’re just starting out in terms of followers. There are more now as of this post and, as things go along, hopefully the account will grow.
I don’t really like the idea of having yet another social media account but apparently Bluesky is good for writers and artists so might be an opportunity for networking. Besides, if the owner of X keeps up his shenanigans, it’ll be time to shut that one down out of principle. I’m already disgusted by what was displayed the other week. My family was in WWII so I’m well versed in the horrors that that entailed.
This 12″ Nightwing action figure was a bit of a trick to get, as you will see in the video. The first time around, Amazon got the order wrong and sent the wrong figure. I was hesitant to try again, thinking maybe the folks in the warehouse had only the Stealth Armor Nightwing (which looks almost identical) instead of this regular one so were sending that as “good enough.” Well, “good enough” doesn’t work for this collector so a gamble was taken and, fortunately, it was a win.
This figure now matches my other, which is Nightwing in his red and black outfit. It’s the same figure, just with a different color, but I’m a completist on certain things so had to have both. I’m sure my fellow Wingnuts would understand.
If you’d like one of your own, you can grab one off Amazon here.
