I AM ALIVE! Assembling the Solomon Grundy Collect-to-Build action figure

Above is the link of the video of the assembling of the Solomon Grundy Collect-to-Build (CTB) figure from McFarlane Toys' DC Multiverse line.

This is a significant event in this collector's hobby because getting a complete unbuilt CTB figure is few and far between. Figures are usually purchased complete and already assembled. Grundy is only the second figure assembled, the first being the red lantern Atrocitus. There is a video of Atrocitus' pioneering assembly as well, which may be featured here in the future.

This action figure collecting hobby literally saved this collector's life during the height of the lockdowns, which began in 2020. The collection exploded from a mere 15 or so figures to more than 300 currently.

Despite their tremendous expense, all of it was worth the cost because the alternative would have been a mental breakdown or the literal loss of physical life. Aside from the lockdown, there was a very traumatic personal issue that had to be resolved. So this collector is very grateful for these small collectibles which provided some measure of happiness and contentment during the gloom of the past three years.

Happy to be alive!
