Predator is part of the Funko vinyl Pop Movies line, under the heading Predator, the name of the movie.

Front

Back

Lets talk about the elephant headed alien in the room. My figure sadly came with a massive scratch in his eye, the scratch gouged out a large amount of the yellow paint. Overall my figure isn't painted all that well, but this gouge is horrible.

The hair is molded nicely but poorly painted.

The hand has missing paint, but again the sculpt is excellent.

The body itself is painted ok, and the details are awesome.

Even the back isn't too bad.

A close up of some of the details.

From this angle you cant really see how bad the paint is. That claw weapon looks awesome.

He looks very cool beside Alien and Acid splatter Alien.

Universes collide! When Master Chief meets the Predator.

Here i have tried to repair the paint on his eye a little, looks a bit better than it did.

Exclusives:

The Predator has a blood splatter exclusive, look here.

News: Sons of Anarchy

Sons of Anarchy

I have not seen this show myself but a friend assures me its excellent.

True Story:

In one Australian state has what is called the Vicious Lawless Disestablishment Act (VLAD), which makes a gathering of three or more "bikies" or their "associates" unlawful and breaking this law imposes mandatory minimum sentencing of 15 to 25 years imprisonment.

This law has been used to arrest a group of men having a bear at a pub and another group caught buying ice creams.

It should be noted that the police don't really like this draconian law but are forced being forced to uphold it, so some of these police saw a guy wearing a "bikie badge", upon approaching the man, it was discovered to the police officers embarrassment that the guy was just a fan of the TV show and had no real "bikie" affiliations, he was just wearing a Sons of Anarchy t- shirt.

If you wish to let the government of this state know you disprove of these laws their is a petition right here.

News: World Wrestling Entertainment

WWE

I know very little about World Wrestling Entertainment so i will keep the commentary to a minimum.

I do know The Rock from his movies. Looks good.

Rey Mysterio wears a Lucha libre mask. In the real world Rey as been unmasked and his fans saw he was actually quite attractive.

Thoughts:

If Funko released a Darren Young figure, that would be an instant buy, just to support equality. In fact it would be good PR for Funko after they were associated with the Duck dynasty disaster.

The Walking Dead season 4

Wave 4

These wave 4 Funko pop vinyl figures became available on 21st January 2014. Starting with series 1 series 2 and continuing with series 3 we have seen some amazing figures in the walking dead universe. They are part of the Television line.

We have Carl wearing Ricks silly hat, and holding, what exactly is he holding? Is it a pistol? A saw? A key ring?

I know Daryl is a popular character, but i don't really need another Daryl, its not a clone apocolipse. I suppose he could stand at the back of a hoard of zombies, to fill in the numbers.

The luckiest lady on the show, i bet she cant wait to see Glenn.

Good another zombie, and this one is kind of adorable, no need to waste anymore time or recorces looking for Penny, she is right here.

I like adding zombies to my zombie pop hoard, this one is nice and generic, i like him a lot.

Preview: Finding Nemo

Finding Nemo

Finding Nemo is an animated movie released in 2003, the film begins in the (now threatened in the real world) Great Barrier Reef and is a decent movie.

In the real world endangered sharks are being needlessly slaughtered in Australian waters, but this shark is safe and quite a nice figure.

Crush is an adorable turtle. Sadly climate change is causing problems for real world turtle species.

Dory the forgetful fish looks pretty cool, It is unknown what effect the destruction of the Great Barrier Reef will have on the royal blue tang species.
