A bit more Classified for the pile.Mindbender has been a longstanding preorder because he has purple tight pants with a deep crotch V, metal suspenders, a cloth cape, and a head sculpt vaguely reminiscent of Jim Carrey’s Dr. Robotnik. There was no not getting that one.
He comes with a tank and a hose and three weapons to plug into the hose for some reason and the usual “pistol to put into the holster” that most Classifieds come with but the draw is the purple, the cape, and the stache. And they deliver.
Shipwreck is an older figure who’s been on my list for a while because despite not being a Retro Card, he still bears a strong resemblance to the cartoon character and also, of course, Shoreleave from Venture Bros. He comes with swappable hat/no hat head tops, a rope bandolier, a grappling hook, a big pistol, a Put It In The Holster Pistol, and A PARROT.
For the pic, there was a bit of serendipity. The process went like this:
Who should Mindbender mind control?
How about the Sesame Streett crew and their letters?
OK, need a background. Let’s start watching Arise, Serpentor Arise where he debuts.
What’s that? He’s in a purple dreamscape full of ALPHANUMERIC SYMBOLS?!
Also, Ernie and Shipwreck both have birds? Also I need to figure out how, hopefully, Bert’s pigeon ended up in the wrong bag because I couldn’t find it?
Boom.
I know Scarlett looks weird. Awkward pose and weird angle and some iPhone camera warping. Nothing to be done about it except redo the whole shot and that wasn’t gonna happen.
