REVIEW: MAFEX BATMAN HUSH

TOYFARCE REVIEWS:

MAFEX BATMAN HUSH!

It's Wednesday. You know what that means.

With the MAFEX Batman HUSH - Superman coming out this month, and seeing that the Batman popped up in a lot of people’s Top 10 list of 2020, ToyFarce decided to revisit that glorious figure.

First of all, I am a huge fan of the HUSH storyline, have always been a huge fan of Jim Lee’s art, and his Batman is easily in my top 3 favorite versions of the character. The blue and grey costume, the short ears, I couldn’t get enough of it, and for a long time, the DC Direct version of this Batman was one of my favorite Batman figures. Its presence, its subtle pose…he’s been an important part of collection for nearly 15 years (the DC Direct Hush line was released in 2004. Ouch.).

When MAFEX announced their Batman HUSH line, I couldn’t have been happier. This was pre-ordered on day one on Amiami, and I got it a few days after it came out back in July 2020.

As is tradition with MAFEX (and no, I don’t mean that it was delayed…), the figure is highly articulated, and comes with tons of accessories: 6 pairs of alternative hands, 2 alternative headsculpts, batarangs, grappling gun hook and line, etc…

Right out of the box, I could already tell it was a great figure. Even in ‘museum pose’, that figure looks pretty great. Sure, it’s not perfect, but it looks damn good. The cape is a bit of a pain in the ass, at least for me, with the wires inside, but they allow for great poses.

But let’s be honest, you don’t buy MAFEX figures to leave them in ‘museum pose’, that would be a damn shame! This thing is ridiculously posable, so let’s pose that bad (bat?) boy!

You, running to check the latest ToyFarce article

“Dammit, I forgot to pick up milk for Alfred!”

It’s like this figure came right out of the comic book. You can recreate many of the poses directly from it, without any issue.

“Don’t be so sure.” *VZIP*

*Brooding intensifies…*

“Sometimes, I wish I had adamantium claws…”

Wait a minute… Bruce Wayne is Batman?!

Even the Bruce Wayne headsculpt is amazing. I don’t know how many people will use it for their display, I do prefer my Batmen to be masked, but it’s still an amazing sculpt.

“You’re the new version of me? Fine.”

QUEUE BATMAN THEME SONG

MAFEX has already announced a Superman, a Catwoman, and the villain HUSH himself which will be released this year (unless they get all delayed to 2022…). I will definitely pick them up, so keep checking ToyFarce if you want to see their reviews.

There is also a Black and grey version of this Batman that just came out, which I think I will skip, but it has the Gargoyle stand, to recreate that amazing Jim Lee art picture of Batman standing on his gargoyle, so I might need it… Damn you, MAFEX.

REVIEW: NECA TOONY TERRORS SERIES 3 + CHUCKY AND HIS BRIDE!

TOYFARCE REVIEWS:

NECA TOONY TERRORS SERIES 3 + CHUCKY AND HIS BRIDE!

With the Toony Terrors series 4 wave starting to pop up in some shops, it was time to review series 3 (which Santa Claus brought me this year, thank you Santa!). Series 3 had Nosferatu from the movie “Nosferatu”, The Nun from the movie…”The Nun” and Ash from the Evil Dead movie franchise.

Series 2… meet Series 3!

Wait a minute…

…

“Something’s fucky.”

Yay! My first misprint! I feel so special! Either that or Nosferatu had a sex change and has become a nun…

Anyway… let’s open them!

Ash comes with his trusted “boomstick”, that can be held in his hand, or on his back. He also comes with his chainsaw hand, which he seems very proud to show off…

“Have you seen my chainsaw hand? Look at it!”

The Nun is stuck in a running pose, which kinda makes her look “Scooby-doo”-esque. I can hear the cartoon running sound when i look at her (what did they make that sound with, anyway?)

She has a very detailed paint job and looks just as creepy as in the movie.

“You failed. Just as you have failed everyone in your life.”

Nosferatu (or Petyr, from “What We Do In The Shadows”) has the most articulations of that wave, with articulations on his arms, elbows and wrists. He comes with a pet rat.

“Hi…”

*classic pose intensifies*

Series 3 only had 3 figures, but there was also a ‘special’ set that came out, a two-pack of Chucky and Tiffany, from “The Bride of Chucky”.

Not sure why this one came out on his own, rather than being part of Series 2 or 3, but there it is!

The 2 figures are quite small, so it make sense they came out as a two-pack. Chucky comes with a knife (that can be removed), and Tiffany comes with a cigarette in her hand (that cannot be removed).

“Barbie, eat your heart out!”

This is also the first actual couple in the NECA Toony Terrors line!

“I wouldn't marry you if you had the body of G.I. Joe!”

“Hey, Raggedy Anne, you looked in the mirror lately? Now's not the time to get picky!”

Well, “couple” might be a strong word…

That’s it! That was the last review of 2020! ToyFarce would like to thank you all for all the support in 2020, and we’ll try to bring you more reviews in 2021!

More news at 11:00… HIIISSSSSSSS!

REVIEW: JAZWARES’ AEW UNRIVALED SERIES 2!

TOYFARCE REVIEWS:

JAZWARES’ AEW UNRIVALED SERIES 2!

Today was a great mail day! Just in time for Christmas, the AEW Unrivaled series 2 finally arrived (It was pre-ordered back in July on Ringside Collectibles), and I couldn’t wait to make a review for those, so they were taken right out of the shipper box straight to the photoshoot.

As usual, here are some packaging pictures…

Pentagon Jr / Penta El Zero M (or whatever he is called this week) & Rey Fenix

“Hangman” Adam Page & “The Natural” Dustin Rhodes

Joooooooooooon Moxley & MJF

Just like the first wave, those figures are pretty solid, look great (even if not as accurate as a Mattel Elite figure headsculpt for some), and show a nice step forward from Jazwares, who fixed the skin tone issues they had with the previous figures. And now, let’s #LetEmBreathe!

Pentagon Jr and Fenix were the ones I was waiting for the most. Those guys are definitely very toyetic, so it’s not a coincidence that multiple brands are making figures of the Lucha Bros. (I also have the Boss Fight Studios figures on pre-order, but God knows when those will show up). The ‘CERO MIEDO’ hand for Pentagon Jr was a must, and people would have rioted if it wasn’t included. The only nitpick i would have is the lack of a second head for Penta (as it was displayed at ToyFare back in February), but I’m very happy with the one we got.

“¡ Porque nosotros somos los Luchas Brothers, y no tenemos… CERO MIEDO !”

“¡ ANIMO !”

Jon Moxley made his debut in AEW at Double or Nothing ‘19, and became the AEW Champion very quickly. His signature entrance throught the crowd still captivates all the fans, so I couldn’t just have him pose in the ring, he had to come from the outside!

The purveyor of violence comes with the AEW Championship belt and his signature jacket

“One day, they will come at my funeral to make sure that I stay dead!”

Hangman (and his giant feet) comes with a lasso, and an alternative hand. He does have pretty big fit. But he’s hangman. You know what they say about men with big feet… He could have included a bottle of booze, but that might not fare well in the toy section…

“COWBOY SHIT! COWBOY SHIT!”

“The Natural” Dustin Rhodes does not have any accessories, but makes up for it by being a giant. We’ve all seen the complaints about the scale issues, and the size difference in the ‘Blood Brothers’ two-pack (Ringside exclusive!). This is pretty much the same figure, without the blood.

“Keep steppin’!”

And last but certainly not least, MJF, Maxwell Jacob Friedman, comes with his signature Burberry scarf, and a microphone. This should not surprise anybody, as this man is always killing it with his promos, so giving him a mic was 100% a necessity.

“I AM BETTER THAN YOU, AND YOU KNOW IT!”

And now, let’s have some fun with them!

Those 2 set of brothers have had countless classic matches together, and it is unreal to finally have them as action figures.

“Escalera de la muerte!”

“*shhhhhh*… CERO… MIEDO!”

“He’s gonna break his arm!!”

“Fenix walked on the top rope from one side of the ring to the other!”

“CANADIAN DESTROYER!!!!”

“CERO MIEDO! Clap clap clapclapclap! CERO MIEDO! clap clap clapclapclap!”

“I don’t need a partner… I don’t need a friend…”

“… I need my older brother!”

“Hey, cut my music! Hold on, hold on, I’m seeing a bunch of marks who are looking at toys, like a bunch of children. How old are you people? Are you really buying toys while being adults? Are you kidding me? Well, you’ll never see me go that low…You see, I’m better than you, and you know it…”

“Adam Page has had enough of listening to MJF…”

“and he’s setting him up for a…”

“ BUCKSHOT LARIAT! ”

“Here is the main event from a few weeks ago, on AEW: Winter is Coming!”

“PARADIGM SHIFT!”

AEW Unrivaled series 2 is a great wave, and I cannot wait for the recently announced series 3 (already pre-ordered). Series 3 will have PAC, Riho, Darby Allin, a new set of Nick and Matt Jackson with different attire, and Orange Cassidy, with real hands-in-pocket action!

More news at 11:00… DYNAMITE!

Spoiler: AND NEEEEEEW….

REVIEW: VTS TOYS “BLACK SKULL” SIXTH SCALE FIGURE

TOYFARCE REVIEWS:

VTS TOYS “BLACK SKULL” SIXTH SCALE FIGURE

Finally, there was some progress in the post system and I got my hands on some fresh, brand new toy! Today, we’ll take a look at VTS Toys (or Virtual Toys) “Black Skull” figure. VTS Toys is a third party brand, and just like every other third party brand, they have to use the “slightly different name” trick to avoid getting unwanted attention (which reminds me that I definitely have to talk about that in an article someday…)

Disclaimer: This figure has nothing to do with a video game called ‘Arkh@m Orig1ns’ or a character called ‘Black M@sk’ (*wink wink*).

The packaging is pretty sober, with some texture on the mask that show when displayed against a light.

Inside, you’ll find the figure along with a multitude of different hands, 2 alternative eye ‘pieces’, and a second level with weapons, accessories and base stand.

Right off the bat(man?), that figure is of very high quality, and will fit very well next to another pricier/non-third party sixth scale figure brand. That depiction of Roman Sionis and his mask is spot-on. The tailoring is quite amazing, and that white suit looks spectacular.

The 3 different sets of eyes include the black parts around the eyes (like if he was wearing some sort of hood under the mask) with eyes looking straight, and to the side, and a third option without the black hood looking straight in front of him. There is a part behind the head held by magnets (how do they work?!), which can be removed in order to change the eyes.

The figure is highly poseable and has that intimidating look that mob bosses usually have.

Now, about the accessories: VTS Toys did a great job on that part too. The black baseball bat is actually made of steel, and will do that signature “cling” sound when dropped on the floor or smashed against the head of an enemy. I didn’t expect that!

The assault rifle has a retractable armrest that can be pulled in or out. The ammo mag can be removed and had great details as well (the bullet at the top is painted and all!).

Even Black Ma…I mean Black Skull’s watch is detailed (a bit of a pain in the ass to attach, but it wouldn’t be a real sixth scale figure experience if there wasn’t a part that give you trouble to attach on it, would it?)

It’s getting hot in here, so let’s remove his jacket, shall we?

The holsters can be put under the suit. The guns have also amazing details, with the ammo mags being removable as well, with a painted bullet at the top for both, and the top part can be pulled back, like on a real gun, a nice touch!

“You cockroaches wanna play rough? Okay, I'm reloaded!! ” - Michael Bolton

“BANG BANG!”

There’s also a bomb included with the figure, once again showing that VTS Toys isn’t joking around. All the details on the ‘motherboard’ are painted nicely. It’s as if they have someone at VTS Toys that knows its way around weapons and bombs… Oh boy, that’s a weird thought.

The base stand is very nice too, in the sense that it’s not the usual flat oval black plastic bland base stand, but they added some rubble, as if there had just been a stand down where Black M..Skull is located (and he won!). Here are all the accessories:

That figure is a great offering from VTS Toys, and will look amazing next to your other Arkham-related sixth scale figure, especially for the price which is a fraction of what a Hot Toys figure usually costs (about $135 on KGHobby).

“You had your shot, Deathstroke, and you’re not the ONLY assassin in town…”

“…and the night is young.”

“I WANT THE BAT… AND PICTURES OF SPIDER-MAN!”

“Err… you look taller in person!”

*Sinister plotting intensifies!*

This wraps up another review. Hopefully, i’ll get more new stuff before next wednesday!

More news at 11:00… Show is over, boys.

REVIEW: GAMESTOP EXCLUSIVE DC COLLECTIBLES BATMAN VS TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES

TOYFARCE REVIEWS:

GAMESTOP EXCLUSIVE DC COLLECTIBLES BATMAN VS TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES

With the post system being what it is these days during the holiday season, during a global pandemic, I have not received any of the new toys that are in transit, so today, we’ll have a look at older stuff, like the Gamestop Exclusive DC Collectibles (it was still ‘Collectibles’ at the time!) Batman vs Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles figures (those pictures were taken in early 2020).

It was first a comic book crossover event, that was actually pretty good (2 sequels have come out since), and DC made an animated movie out of the first story. Those figures have the design of the animated movie.

Here are some packaging shots:

(The 'Robin & Raphaël' box was smashed during transport, so I just opened that one right away to make sure the figures were fine, so no photos of that box. The figures were fine!)

First, let’s check the leaders of their respective families: The Batman and Leonardo.

“Dude, you’re dressed like a bat!”

“You are literally a turtle.”

“Fair enough. Let’s fight crime!”

Now for the rebel of their families: Robin (Damian Wayne) and Raphaël.

“Oh, you put the hood on? Things are getting serious!”

“COME AT US, BRO!”

Then, they paired the tech savvy ones together, with Batgirl coming along with Donatello.

“You got any games on that?”

“Nevermind. Time to fight!”

Michaelangelo, or Mikey, the goofiest of the Ninja Turtles, was somehow paired with Alfred, the serious yet snarky butler. Odd pairing, but it works for me!

“Master Michaelangelo, may I ask you not to use your skateboard inside the manor, please…”

“Come on, I just waxed the floors…”

PS: Alfred has NO CHILL.

Finally, the baddies, Shredder and Ras’al’Ghul came in the same set, which makes a lot of sense.

“Soon, the turtles will be defeated!”

“And the detective will see how much smarter than him I am!”

“What is this thing anyway? Mu-ta-gen?”

Those figures are pretty awesome. I like the fabric they used for the cape, it allows for nice movement and display. The “cell shading” effect on the figures is a nice touch, and makes them look better than other versions of the characters. Some people didn’t like the design of the animated movie and would have prefered it to be closer to the comic book, but they still look awesome on a shelf. Growing up watching the TMNT cartoon and Batman the Animated Series, this was a no-brainer for me anyway.

A great representation, whether you are a fan of the Bat-Family…

… or the Ninja Turtles family!

“Group shot!”

“Now for the best part… PIZZA TIME!"

“Mmmmh… Pizza.”

Bonus: SDCC 2019 Exclusive Mikey as Batman

“I am vengeance, I am the night…”

“I AM MIKEY!”

“Pizza?”

REVIEW: MATTEL WWE ULTIMATE EDITION TRIPLE H AND THE ROCK

TOYFARCE REVIEW:

REVIEW: MATTEL WWE ULTIMATE EDITION TRIPLE H AND THE ROCK

Mattel has been doing a decent job with the WWE Elite figures for years, but I had yet to get any of the ‘Ultimate Edition’ ones. After trying to convince myself that I didn’t need it for months, I saw a review online that convinced me otherwise (Thanks, Adventures in Collecting Podcast youtube channel!).

I picked up Triple H and Rock “The Dwayne” Johnson because I started watching wrestling in the late 90’s, and saw those 2 guys become huge main eventers and their feuds were memorable. I always wanted a ‘Ultimate’ The Rock figure (no pun intended…ok, maybe) and this looked like this could be it.

Some packaging shots:

Nice little “easter egg”, when you open the flaps at the top and bottom of the packaging, some catchphrases are hidden there!

I only have an AEW ring, and I can already see the ton of hate mail I would get for that, so I won’t use a ring. It’s too bad. If only I had something cool to display behind… Oh, wait… I know!

The Ultimate edition figures have “Ultimate articulation for authentic poseability”, so we’re gonna put that to the test… Entering first, the most elecrifying man in AAAALL of entertainment:

IF YOU SMEEEEELL…WHAT THE ROCK… IS COOKING! *90’s guitar jamming*

“FINALLY…THE ROCK HAS COME BACK TO *INSERT TOWN* !!”

‘The Rock says he is gonna lay the smackdown on Triple H’s candy ass! Bring it!”

TIME TO PLAY THE GAME…

“Triple H’s old theme song, ‘My Time’, is exactly the soundtrack I imagine if there is a war.” - Michael M.

Who loved that theme? It's such an underrated theme… Of course, Motörhead rules (RIP Lemmy), but there was some weird aura about ‘My Time’. A great fit for that time.

And now, there’s water EVERYWHERE.

Can he do the DX crotch chops?

… close enough. At least the tip of his fingers are crossed!

“The Rock says what we got here is a Jabroni who looks like Tarzan, and fights like Jane!” (Remember the Trash Talking Stage from Jakks Pacific? That thing was so cool… I still remember most of the lines!)

An intense staredown before the main event of the evening!

Running knee!

Rock bottom! Rock bottom!

Sharpshooter!

Triple H’s trusted Sledgehammer!

Oh no, this means the end for The Rock…

Pedigree! Pedigree!

Now, for the Most Electrifying move in Sports-Entertainment…

(Hands with pointing fingers would have been great in that set, for The People’s Elbow pose)

The People’s Elbow!

The Rock is the new WWE Champion !

#ANDNEW…

Triple H also comes with his ‘McMahon-Helmsley era’ cap and chainmail entrance gear… Well, it was the late 90’s… It was legal, then.

“What the hell are you wearing, man?”

“It’s called “fashion”, look it up!”

The Ultimate Edition are great figures with a ton of poseability. So far there’s only been 10 (I might pick up that Ultimate Edition The Fiend, someday…), and I can’t wait for more.

More news at 11:00… Know your role… AND SHUT YOUR MOUTH!

REVIEW: NECA’S ULTIMATE FLASHER GREMLIN + FLASHER COMPETITION!

TOYFARCE REVIEW:

NECA’S ULTIMATE FLASHER GREMLIN + FLASHER COMPETITION!

Another wednesday, another review, this time with the long overdue Ultime Flasher Gremlin from NECA. I had already teased that the Ultimate Flasher Raphael from the NECA two-pack with Casey Jones had some competition, so I got my hands on that competition, and there will be a flasher competition (a flash-off?) to determine who is the Ultimate Flasher!

Finally, a worthy opponent…

The Gremlins line from NECA has always been great, and the gremlins are very detailed. They look like they were taken right out of the movie. They do suffer from a bit of quality control issue (the head kept popping off when I was taking pictures), but nothing unfixable. The art box (I guess we can call them art boxes) has great pictures, which is expected from NECA. Here are some packaging shots:

Front

Back

Window

The Ultimate Flasher Gremlin comes with a ton of accessories, all related to the bar scene from the movie: Poker visor, poker cards and poker chips, a pint of beer, a puppet, a mallet, some lit cigarettes, sunglasses a fedora, a bowtie, a removable trenchcoat and interchangeable hands.

If you remove the trenchcoat and accessories, you get a very decent Gremlin, with a lot of articulations. Even his jaw is articulated!

GIZMO…CACA!

“Bee-ba-boo-dee, bee-ba-boo-dee…”

*Hysterical laugh*

“Chug! chug! chug!”

"No chug?”

*SMASH*

“Hello laaaadies”

Ultimate Flasher Raphael seems to be getting impatient, so it is now time for the Flasher Competition. Who will be the Ultimate Flasher? There can be only one!

The Ultimate Flasher Competition’s jury will be members of the trenchcoat afficionados club. Some of them may or may not have been Ultimate Flasher Competition winners in the past, but we will not get too deep into that.

First contestant, the Gremlin…

Now for Raphael’s turn…

Wait a minute! It seems the Gremlin is highjacking Raphael’s turn! That can’t be legal!

The jury seems to enjoy it! If they continue, they might both get disqualified, though!

They are now flashing each other off!

NO! They have now turned their attention to our cameras! Cover your eyes, people!

This will definitely make the cover of the newspapers tomorrow…

We are left without a winner, but they seem to be fine with sharing the title of Ultimate Flasher. We will inform you on the decision of the jury when they have recovered.

More news at 11:00… GIZMO…CACA!

REVIEW: JAZWARES’ AEW UNRIVALED SERIES 1 + “A LITTLE BIT OF THE BUBBLY” CHRIS JERICHO!

TOYFARCE REVIEWS:

JAZWARES’ AEW UNRIVALED SERIES 1 + “A LITTLE BIT OF THE BUBBLY” CHRIS JERICHO!

With the second wave starting to get shipped out (thanks, Ringside Collectibles!), ToyFarce figured it was time to post about the AEW Unrivaled Series 1!

AEW, the wrestling company founded by Tony Khan, Cody Rhodes and the Young Bucks, Nick and Matt Jackson, is barely over a year old, and their action figures have started to roll out in the summer (not without any obstacles…) and the company Jazwares (and Wicked Cool Toys) have done an excellent job on those figures. AEW needed to get someone that knew how to make wrestling toys, to have a great product right off the bat. They needed someone that would have extensive experience into making wrestling action figures… Enter Jeremy Padawer, who worked at Jakks Pacific during the WWF/WWE action figures glorious days, and you have a perfect match.

The design of the packaging is pretty great, different, which makes them pop out a bit more than the usual action figure blister cards.

Cody and Brandi Rhodes

Kenny Omega and Chris Jericho

The Young Bucks, Matt and Nick Jackson

Action ring!

Ringside Collectibles Exclusive “A Little Bit of the Bubbly” Chris Jericho

And now, to quote the guys from the Major Wrestling Figure Podcast, let’s … LET’EM BREATHE!!! (#letembreathe)

“Good bye, and good night… BANG!”

The Kenny Omega figure is very cool. The entrance gear is pretty well done, with the single wing in the back. The likeness is pretty good (remember it’s the very first one). I can’t wait to see more of those.

SUPERKICK PARTYYYYYYYYYYY !

The Young Bucks are wearing their Double or Nothing 2019 Elvis outfits, which are pretty detailed and look very nice. They can be put in that Young Bucks pose that I imagine 90% of the people who will get them will display them in. They can also superkick. What more can we ask?

“Wrestling has more than one royal family…”

Cody and Brandi Rhodes (aka lil’ Bran bran, as Brandi calls her herself) are also wearing their Double or Nothing 2019 outfits, along with the weight-belt and the sledgehammer that Cody smashed a throne with, during their entrance .

I’m becom.. I’m becom…I’m becoming! I’m becom.. I’m becom…I’m becomiiiing… Judas in… Judas in my mind!

Le Champion, the Painmaker, the Demo God, the leader of the Inner Circle, Chris Jericho also comes complete with entrance gear, leather jacket, hat and scarf. The tattoos on his arm are very detailed compared to previous incarnations of Jericho in action figure form, also. There’s even the Fozzy ‘F’ on his hand. Very cool detail.

We’re now going to have a showcase, because why not? They’re wrestling figures after all! Just imagine the following comments in the voice of Jim Ross, Tony Schiavone or Excalibur!

BOOM! Let's go ignite !
Dabajabaza in a flash of light !
Shagga ziggy BOOM! And then it's night!
Strike the fools- Bring the plumes!
DYNAMITE!
(I may not know the lyrics)

V-TRIGGEEEEER !!!!

Kenny Omega is setting Chris Jericho up for his finishing maneuver…

THE ONE-WINGED ANGEEEL!!!

What?! Jericho kicked out and hit Kenny with THE JUDAS EFFECT!

Cody to the rescue, trying to set up for a CROSS RHODES!!

Reversed into the Walls of Jericho!! Somebody end this madness!

The Young Bucks just arrived to the ring and…

SUPERKIIIIIIIICK!

Even Brandi (aka lil’ Bran bran) hits Jericho with a SPEAR, for good measures!

THE… ELITE… THE…THE… ELITE !

It’s time for celebration, folks, as we’re getting to the end of this showcase!

Chris Jericho, looking at the stars!

Speaking of Jericho, the Ringside Collectibles Exclusive “A Little Bit of the Bubbly” figure is a great addition to the set. Jericho said on his podcast (Talk is Jericho) that the sentence “A little bit of the bubbly” came from the movie “Dumb and Dumber”, with Jim Carrey’s character, Lloyd, saying it when they are at the Icelanding Snow Owl Benefit banquet, and it became viral after people kept retweeting it and editing it in many songs (my favorite being the ‘Mambo number 5’ version). This man has been a catchphrase generating machine for 3 decades, and I hope we’ll get many more of those for the years to come.

“Ooouh! A little bit of the bubbly!”

Beautiful, shiny belt that would end up lost that same evening…and not in a wrestling match ^^

A very decent first offering, and I cannot wait to get my hands on the second wave (which includes Jon Moxley, Hangman Page, MJF, Dustin Rhodes, and the Lucha Brothers, Pentagon and Fenix).

By the way, do yourself a favor and follow Jeremy Padawer on social media (@jeremycom on Twitter, and @jeremypadawer on Instagram). He posts a lot about upcoming figures, but also does lots of giveaways and will very often buy a random person an item they want on eBay. Need I say more?

REVIEW: SUPER7 REN & STIMPY DELUXE ACTION FIGURES!

TOYFARCE REVIEW:

SUPER7 REN & STIMPY DELUXE ACTION FIGURES!

It’s wednesday, which means it’s “Review day” for ToyFarce, and, oh boy, do we have a treat for you! We finally got our hands on the Super7 Deluxe Ren & Stimpy figures!

They even came with their very own custom shipper boxes! And God knows how important it is to have a shipper box for a figure… If you’ve hanged around on any Hot Toys/one sixth scale figure group or forum, you’ll know that some people refuse to buy figures if they do not come with the shipper box! The figure is considered incomplete without its shipper box to them. We kid you not! They collect the cardboard as much as the figure. (Shout out to the ‘Hot Toys Shipper Boxes’ gang on Facebook!).

First, some packaging pics:

And the very first impression is: Those things are HUGE! I had assumed they would be way smaller, but at 7 inches, those can definitely look good displayed next to bigger figures (even one sixth scale). And now, let’s #LetEmBreathe!

“Hiiii!”

First, Ren Hoëk, who comes with 2 alternative heads, 2 alternative sets of hands, a fez, a rubber nipple hat and a plate of pork snacks.

“Mmmmh… Pork faces.”

Stimpy J. Cat comes with an alternative face plate, 2 sets of alternative hands, a litter box that can be used as a stand (ingenious!), a bag of Gritty Kitty litter, a fish skeleton, a nose goblin (!), a fart (!!) and his own rubber nipple hat.

“Sweet relief!”

“It’s my magic nose goblin! I picked it myself!”

“Dad!”

Both figures have minimal articulations (arms and legs + head for Ren), but those are not exactly made to be highly poseable, they’re just tons of fun, and any fan of the 90’s Nickelodeon show will just want them.

“Where is my face?”

And now, it’s time for their favorite moment…

“Hello, boys and girls! It’s your old pal, Stinky Wizzleteats! This is a song about a whale…

No! This is a song about being happy! That’s right, it’s the Happy Happy Joy Joy song!

“HAPPY HAPPY JOY JOY! HAPPY HAPPY JOY JOY!”

“HAPPY HAPPY JOY JOY! *BONG*

There are still some available at BigBadToyStore (which is where I got them), in case you want them!

REVIEW: MATTEL'S WWE ELITE 79 - THE UNDERTAKER (COLLECTOR'S EDITION)

SPOOKTOBER REVIEWS:

MATTEL'S WWE ELITE 79 - THE UNDERTAKER (COLLECTOR'S EDITION)

“Hold on, playa! Tonight, you get to go one-on-one…with the Undertaker!” - Teddy Long

The Undertaker. The Phenom. The Deadman. How about that for Spooktober? Mattel just released that beautiful WWE Elite figure from series 79 of the Undertaker, to commemorate the 30th anniversary of his career. The Undertaker started at Survivor Series in 1990, so this November, it will officially be 30 year of the Undertaker. The real question is: Will he come back from one more match…again…again? :)

Here are some packaging shots:

His Wrestlemania opponent from the cinematic Boneyard match, AJ Styles, is here to welcome him.

This is a really nice update of the Undertaker. I am not a huge fan of the very rigid jacket that they put on those figures, but it does look damn cool on a shelf.

AJ Styles teasing the Phenom…

who removes his jacket very slowly…

and his trusted hat…

*GONG* and thunder

OH MY GOD! The Undertaker with a big boot to the face of AJ! (totally not my hand)

A closer look at that big boot!

The Deadman started off real strong with that boot. Can AJ recover?

The Undertaker grabbed AJ by the throat!

He’s setting him up for one of his signature move, the patented Chokeslam!

CHOKESLAM! CHOKESLAM!

BY GAWD!

He’s taking AJ to the end of the line…

with a TOMBSTONE PILEDRIVER!

1! 2! 3!

What is this? The Undertaker signals that he wants to bury AJ alive!

(Those are the only coffins we can find at the store these days…)

It's full of candy…

“Are you f*cking kidding me?”

The Phenom is removing the candies from that casket…

And buries AJ Styles alive, yet again!

*GONG*
