I think that's all the Skywald I have. Please post whatever you have of
them & Star that I didn't post.
I had to show my son pictures of spinner racks. But I also showed him
youtube videos of the CBS 70s Spider-man, Cap, Doctor Strange,
Daredevil & Hulk with Thor so he could see hw good he has it now. Oh
yeah and that horrible 90s Cap movie. I actually saw a poster for that
in a theater before they sent it straight to video.
