I forgot the line about looking for Casey was even in there! I actually own the new Casey now, but thank you for thinking of me!

Our characters included 3 main characters, all plush toys: The Pink Panther, The Bull (Where The Wild Things Are), and The Little Caesar. We dyed "Wild Thing's" hair Rodman style and put several safety pins in his ears. He bullied Pink Panther and Caesar. Wild Thing was afraid of our cat though. This is just one of the many toy story arcs I remember.<br /><br />I remember picking up a new Casey and I might still have it stashed away somewhere. I'll dig for it and let you know.

Still play with my toys??? (Who told you?...Still??? Still play with my toys??? (Who told you?) I don't play with them like I did back then, but I had a blast setting these guys up to photograph. I just love toys SO much. <br><br>And that scene from that run of Daredevil has always stuck with me! I actually really loved how Nocenti organically embraced the whole concept of Ultron showing up in DD. You could almost have eliminated the entire AoV concept and this story would still have made just as much sense. A rattled and schizoid Ultron trying to make sense of himself in the woods... his attraction to the man-made Number Nine... the whole thing was pretty poetic. But that's something I've always really liked about Nocenti's comic work. She comes off as a bit melodramatic at times, but when it works it WORKS. <br><br>I searched FOREVER to find a shot of that panel online (because Ultron seems to be gaining some popularity online right now for some reason... and surprisingly googling "Number Nine" didn't really help much. I finally figured it out and found it, but for a while I was convinced I was going to have to dig that issue out of my collection and scan it if I wanted to use it. <br><br>I KEEP finding the guys I already have, like Mutagen Man and Kirby Bat... so I know he's been there because those are the characters he's packed in with. But no Casey yet. And I love his new look.Derek Ashhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01555485192723965604noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5930128877122660917.post-12381403108884836802014-03-06T10:24:23.406-08:002014-03-06T10:24:23.406-08:00I've been seeing the new Nick version of Casey...I've been seeing the new Nick version of Casey Jones pretty frequently in Targets around the MN area here, so I'm sure it may just take some time until they're everywhere. It's a pretty great figure and does allow for mask removal, even tho his face is painted like a skull underneath.RetroRobotReviewhttp://www.retrorobotreview.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5930128877122660917.post-89845315899669478312014-03-06T08:48:26.551-08:002014-03-06T08:48:26.551-08:00+1,000,000 for the inclusion of the Ultron/Number ...+1,000,000 for the inclusion of the Ultron/Number Nine panel from Daredevil's "Acts of Vengeance" tie-in.<br><br>God, I miss Number Nine and Brandy Ash.
