JUNE PILE: OMFS3P1 - The Red Demon


 YOINNK!

So first, I need to correct a mistake from yesterday’s post. Only ONE of the three figures from this wave that I skipped was a Military Dude. The others were Dudes In Suits. I’m not averse to a dude in a suit and I reserve the right to backtrack on both The Gremlin and the other guy if I see a review and they go above and beyond Guy In A Suit in non-obvious ways but right now I’m still happy with my decision to pass.

Not that I necessarily mind reuse - I wonldn’t have half the Monster Force dudes I have if I thought that was a problem. Hell, this Red Demon apparently reuses a bunch of stuff but he’s super-cool.

I don’t know his backstory but he falls into Vague Martial Arts and that’s fine by me. He comes with two swords, two sais (one of which is currently missing), the chain thing, bonus hands, a backpack that holds most everything, and a bit you can swap for the chain ends to turn the two individual siclke things into a staff sickle thing. Also a great head and a great paint job.

Also oddly difficult to do a goofemup with. Sometimes I want to do a straightforward pic and sometimes the toy forces me to do a straightforward pic and this was definitely the latter. On the upside, digging through the bin to get the deeply buried Fwoosh Gi Guy for this caused the missing head wing from the gold dwarf to turn up, so bonus!

JUNE PILE OF LOOT: Superfriends ‘Black’ Manta


One pedantic technicality deserves another. THe “June” pile of loot arrived in July and includes toys accumulated during June. Black Manta is blue as hell in the Superfriends cartoon.
