Funko Reaction - Predator/Snake Plissken

Finally, a little 5 point fodder!When  Funko announced that It would be releasing a line of  3 3/4 action figures,limited in articulation and  based on  1980's  pop culture iconic films like Predator,Back To The Future,Alien,Goonies,etc., the toy  collecting community went nuts!I have to admit to not being as enthusiastic about the news,but I did think the idea was cool.The only figures I wanted from this line were the Goonies and while I have passed by them many times,I have yet to pull the trigger.The Predator would have been second on my list ,and thanks to John from Robot Monster Space Super Hero,I can scratch him off :)The Snake Plissken  figure I'm not too crazy about but maybe that will change once I finally watch Escape From New York.I really don't know where to display these guys as they are too recent to place in my vintage display,and too vintage looking to place In my display of newer figures.I may have to create a separate area for them. That's pretty much the only knock I have against them,other than that,for what they are,they are decent little figures.

• 80's themed pop culture icons
• Available pretty much everywhere,now
• Wide variety
• Pretty durable for a contemporary product
• Great conversation piece

Now all we need Is a Dutch figure

Funko pulls off the vintage vibe incredibly well

I'm pretty excited about finally being able to add this figure to my vintage collection.Slowly but surely I've been able to re-acquire figures that made the biggest impression on me as a youngster ,growing up in the 80's.I never owned this figure as a kid but always wanted to.Another shout out to Brother Midnight for assisting me In my vintage action figure quests!

• Durable
• Vintage/Iconic Character
• Essential to any 80's related toy collection 
• Easy to find and acquire either by trade or online
• Looks awesome on display
  
  
  
  

M.U.S.C.L.E.

When these guys hit the toy scene back In the 80's , I was pretty much a Joe head.Nothing In a scale smaller than 3 3/4 really caught my attention those days and there were a myriad of Mini Figs on the market.Army Ants,Battle Beasts, etc.None really drew me in like M.US.C.L.E. figures did.I'm pretty sure the "In Your Face!" commercials and variety packaging had everything to do with that.A garbage can filled with buff little masked wrestling dudes,horned villains and Woolly Mammoth  hybrids?SOLD!When you look at one close up today,you can appreciate the detail and dedication that went into making each and every one of these mini figures every bit  as unique as the next.As kids we needed that variety.Opening up a barely see through plastic garbage pail containing 10 totally random /mystery figures was damn near euphoric!And no serial numbers here guys,you lived and died with what you got.Below are 5 reasons why you should jump on Ebay right now and bid on a small hand full of these guys before they all sell out and become totally extinct,crushing your dream of reliving your childhood M.U.S.C.L.E. wrestling match moments and memories forever and ever and ever and....!Just make sure you have enough In your Paypal account to cover it  ;)

• No articulation,no problem -figures posed in awesome wrestling stances with closed fists and open hands fit for a good old  back slap!
• Unrivaled variety
• Came In  packs of 10!
• Portability,as a kid that was huge
• Trade-ability,again,as a kid this was huge

I've gotten rid of all my M.U.S.C.L.E. figures save for this one,which was my favorite as a kid!
