I've been collecting comics since I was in high school. After I graduated I started a small collection of action figures. Not really for collecting, but more for my nieces and nephews to play with when they came to visit. Then I got married and had a son of my own and both collections went into a state of hiatus. Tucked away out of sight and reach of little fingers. About a month ago I started reading my comic books to my 7 year old son. Today he wanted to play with my X-Men movie collector figures (in my office in their original boxes on the top shelf of my book case). Now, my son's favourite character is currently Iron Man, so I said, "hang on, I've got other action figures if you really want to play with them". So after languishing for 6 years in a basement my action figures once again saw the light of day.
Currently in my son's bathtub with him are:
Namor
Iron Man
Silver Surfer and
Wasp
Downstairs in the den we have 3 dragons,
