44 Zombie Jake Adventure Time

Zombie Jake

 Jake come from the cartoon network program Adventure time, in one of the episodes he became a zombie, this is his figure.


 
Zombie Jake is number 44 in the television pop line he is from the Adventure time Funko pop series.



 Note the sticker on the box which identify s this figure as a San Diego comic 2013 convention exclusive, limited to 1008 pieces.




He looks very much like a zombie version of Jake the dog.



Jake is still a magic dog while he is a zombie and has magical mody manipulation powers.




The figure has no articulation but it does have zombie veins.



His face is molded and coloured very well.




His mouth is bizarre, the pale white area almost looks translucent, i am not sure what is going on here. I have a weird feeling the mouth and tongue may be some kind of sticker? I don't know for sure but the effect works well here.



Here are some zombies from my Funko Pop collection. If your interested just type "zombie" into the search box at the top right, that should bring up a hoard of them.



 
Just for comparison, the ordinary Jake from wave one.

King Louie is king of the monkeys in the Disney adaptation of The Jungle Book.


King Louie is number 58 in wave 5 (series 5) of the Disney Funko pop vinyl figures.


He looks very orangutan.



His hair and fur are very nicely molded.


 He has a huge smile which looks awesome.



King Louie is a very fun pop figure.


He does like to tip back but his knuckle walking aids in his stability.



My primates, from left to right, Winged Monkey, King Louie, Bumble, and Chi Chai Monchan.

Information & Questions:

For more information on the orangutan and to help this species survive, click this link.
Also what did you think of the different backing colour i used for a lot of the photos in this post?
Do you prefer the red or like the green?
Should i mix it up with more colours?

Beetlejuice Movies Funko Pop figure.

Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice!



 The star of Beetlejuice a 1996 movie that is truly awesome.



 Beetlejuice is the 5th in the Funko Pop vinyl Movies line of figures.



 He looks like he does in the movie.



 He has a big grin and green ectoplasm on his face.


His green hair is spiked and very cool.


He wears the striped suit to show he is a professional bio-exorcist and not some fly-by-night operator. 


 He fits in well with the other movie pop figures, here we have Jason and Hannibal.




Note that the eyes on the packaging are different to the eyes on my figure. This is common as most Beetlejuice figures have the black eyes. 





A "chase" figure is out there with box accurate eyes and is being sold for a ridiculous amount by evil ebay flippers. Unless you find one in the wild (for a standard pop price), i would pass on this variant.
The chances of me, in rural Australia finding a pop in the wild let alone a chase are extremely small, the one store that has just got pop figures in has a very small selection and i am sure any stickered pops would be off the shelves quite quickly.

The rocketeer is a adventure movie from 1991, It is an underrated movie and well worth a watch.

The Rocketeer is a cool character and makes an excellent pop figure.

He wouldn't be the Rocketeer without his rocket pack.


Here he is with Leonidas.


 He looks pretty good in the Batmobile.

39 Michonne's Pet 2, Television, The Walking Dead

Michonne's Pet 2




  
Michonne has two pet zombies. She removed the arms and lower jaw making them harmless and docile. Having her pets around made other zombies less likely to go after her.




Michonne's Pet 2 is the 39th figure in the Funko vinyl pop television line.



  
Easily recognisable as one of Michonne's zombies.


 He has no teeth but may try to gum you to death.


 He has a nice chest, though not as defined as the actors from the show, and good detail on the chain.



 He has the "metal" around his neck and his back is thin and taunt.



He has nice suitably dirty boots.



 He is the same mold as Pet 1 though the heads are definitely on different angles and the paint is quite different. Pet one is on the left.



I was initially worried that the same mold was used for both pets, but i think there are just enough differences in the paint to make them passable. They were very similar in the show in any event.






 Pet 1, Michonne and Pet 2 in a lineup.




 Pet 2 makes a great addition to the Walking dead zombie hoard.



 

 If your getting Pet 2 then your going to want Michonne and Pet 1.



Wave 2 left to right is Tank Zombie, Glenn, Pet 1, Michonne, and Pet 2. 


 The Walking dead, wave 1 and wave 2.
