My Halloween Spookytown Village and Train Display For 2020

I get so wrapped up in other projects (or life in general) that, unfortunately, holidays come and go with me being absolutely, totally, zero percent prepared for them. Holiday train displays are few and far between, more so since room to make them has simply disappeared for the most part. There's no room in the house so I have to cobble together a display out in The Cave. It's still fun but, like I said, sometimes life happens and I just don't have time. This year I really wanted to do a Halloween display so I set my sights on it early, clearing off my small plot of toy train real estate out in The Cave. I also built another cardboard buildg this year - The Shadybrook Sanitarium - the first one in four years. I like how the display turned out but gosh what can I do to get more room out there for the next display besides bulldoze the joint? LOL Here's some pics from this years Halloween Spookytown Village. Enjoy! Opa Fritz

2010 Hasbro Marvel Universe Series 2 #030 Ghost Rider

Today on Toys & Stuff we bring you the Ghost Rider from Hasbro whose demonic looks belie the fact that he's one of the good guys. Armed with his fiery chain he's one hot biker dude! This is one of Hasbro's 4" (10.2cm) scale series of Super Heroes but measures about 3 3/4"H (9.5cm) - 4" being a convenient way to describe the average height of the various figures some of which are taller, some shorter. From the side he looks rather thin though and I wonder if they do this to save on the amount of plastic used or...? This figure is missing one terribly important accessory - his bike - and it doesn't appear as if Hasbro has made a Ghost Rider figure in the 4" scale with a bike - yet (however, Toy Biz makes a really cool Ghost Rider figure with bike in the larger 6" series). Anyway, this is a neat figure with multiple points of articulation and a nice display base. Enjoy!
