SUBCOLLECTION COMPLETE: The Brat!

 THE FINAL WEIRDO.

MOAR IMPULSE: Grandpa Munster!

Hey it’s the guy from the show with that Fallout Boy song! 

So, NECA impulse buys are always a crapshoot. A mid NECA fig is always more disappointing than a mid Hasbro fig because the average Hasbro fig at least has the kind of articulation you can do stuff with. When you know you’re getting NECA joints, you’re betting on a reasonable versioon thereof and hoping the fit and accessories take it over the top.

Grampa Munster is… fine! He’s not a disappointment like a Robocop or a standout like a Vincent Price. Out of the package I immediately thought of three things I’d have liked to see - a wired cape, a little table/rack for his science gear, and a deeper elbow joints because, as you can see, he can’t put the shovel on his shoulder like I would have wanted. 

Accesssory-wise he’s a smidge light. He has the cape, which is double-sided red and black, but a wire would have gone a long way. I know it wasn’t very dynamic on the show but still. He has three science flask things that are very nice and one of them has a little stand because it’s a sphere with a neck, but then it’s just hands and heads. The heads are laughing, grimace, and close-mouth, and they’re all nice and also it’ll be laughing head forever.

For the pic… look, I know Meat Man has gotten a lot of play lately but he just slots so nicely into different ideas, like “carrying a corpse down the stairs for weird mad science stuff”. 

Like Meat Man, Grandpa Munster is a fig in color that I needed to make B&W to fit the background from the show.

IMPULSE GET: Mego Young Frankenstein

Put THAT on a Ritz!

PREORDER ACQUIRED: Lifeline

 Flint has unrealistic job performance expectations, to be honest.

GOT: Muscle MOdel!

 SEQUEL PIC!

FIG PHOATO: “ATag Team”

 

The hot tag. The hallmark of tag team wrestling.

VACATION FIG PHOTO CATCHUP: Part 5

OK. Days 26 and 27 and I’ll post the finale normal-like later.

Da6 26 was “Facebuster”, and a stinkface will bust your face. Debated who’d be funniest. Even asked online and got no suggestions. So I went with Daredevil because the last thing you want in this situation is enhanced senses.

 “Giant Swing”

Literal interpretation! Anyway, I used one (technically two) of my Waikiki Beach pictures for this and when I posed it on Bluesky some bullshit coffee shop doing searches on words saw “waikiki” in the alt text and dropped into the replies. Fuckin’ internet.
