But it’s a guilty blessing for me, since I won’t have to force myself to run up and down the Javits Center, mostly blind, while I’m still recovering from my strokes. Even with limited vision, though, I still would have liked to have seen their newly-solicited Marvel goods from Diamond Select Toys up-close—including the new Marvel Minimates Fantastic Four figures box set and Legends in 3D The Thing 1:2 scale bust!

Maximum Carnage Minimates Wave 76 Figures New York Toy Fair 2018

I was a young teenager when the Maximum Carnage crossover came out in the early 90s–which means I thought it was pretty much the coolest thing in the world. Whether or not it would stand up as a literary masterpiece today (and I have a suspicion it might not), I loved it back then, and had the video game, Toybiz figures… the works.
