Lost in Space Robot B9

B9

The Lost in Space Robot

 
The B9 robot from the Lost in space series.

The box for the Robot is cool, he is number 92 in the Funko vinyl Pop's Television line.

 The Robot looks awesome and very show accurate.

He even has the chest details. 

His clear head looks good and the bauble on top spins, but that's the only thing that moves, i have to call it no articulation.

 

Overall the figure is nicely sculpted and painted.

 The legs are one piece there is no entry flap.

 Here he is with another from my collection.

The biggest flaw and a huge issue i have with this figure is that it is not really a Funko pop figure.
Well it is officially, but it is not made of the same material or in the same way, it feels like a cheap knock off.
It feels like a hollow squeaky dog chew toy but is lacking the squeak!
Perhaps i am wrong and someone substituted a cheap knock off for my Pop collectable figure?

Who would win in a fight: Well it has to be Robby because he is built to the standards of a Funko Pop figure and B9 robot is not.

Dragon Ball Z

Funko are releasing some Dragon Ball Z figures for their Animation line of vinyl Pops. I know very little about this show so here are the pictures;

Preview: Transformers pop!

Transformers

Funko are making some pop transformers to go along with the incredibly horrible Transformers live action movies.
Fans of the movie aesthetic should like these offerings;

Autobot Drift, hmmmm Drift he must play a huge role in the upcoming  Age of Extinction movie. Drift was once a deception know as deadlock, he carries a cool sword that taps ito the power of the users spark energy. 
I don't know if any of that will make it into the movie though.
 

 Optimus Prime we all know him, the do good, do nothing leader of the Autobots. He looks ok, wonder if he will get a Rides Grimlock, now that would be cool.

Bumblebee i am not really sure why he is so loved by everybody, he did swear in the original movie which was kind of cool. But until hes a VW Beetle again. ill pass.

Verdct:

I cant help but wonder what the G1 Transformers would look like as Pops. Perhaps even the Beast Wars era ones, but as it stands these are an easy miss for me. I am curious how they will go as non-transforming transformers have always been a little bit odd.

Also no decepticons? That is kind of odd, not even Megatron?

Robby the Robot, Forbidden Planet review

Robby the Robot

Funko have released their Robby the Robot figure. Robby first appeared in the 1956 science fiction movie Forbidden Planet. 
He went on to appear in many other movies, series and even did some commercial advertising. He is in the Robot Hall of Fame.

 A poster from the Forbidden Planet movie, from which Robby is most well known.

 Robby is number 89 in the Funko vinyl pop movies line of figures.

 

Robby has his big feet and tire like legs.

 

 Robby looks like hims self, is well painted and is quick a sturdy heavy figure.

  

He has nicely painted and accurate dials on his chest unit.

  

His head is also nicely sculpted.

 

Here he is with the Lost in space Robot, Robby also appeared in Lost in Space.

 Robby is a classic and much loved robot.

Squidward Review, SpongeBob SquarePants

Squidward

Squidward is from the cartoon SpongeBob SquarePants he  is a
Cecaelia a part human part octopus creature despite the fact he has only six tentacles and has Squid in his name.

Squidward is number 27 in the Television line of Funko vinyl pops figures.

Squidward has one point of articulation, his head spins around.

With his sad face and distinctive body shape he is obviously squidward.

 I like the spots on his head, actually the whole figure is painted very well.

 He has only six tentacles but stands very well on four of them.

Two of his tentacles function as his arms.

I wonder if this ship would sink?

 Some aquatic Pop figures.

Merle Dixon, The Walking Dead

Merle Dixon

 Season Three Spoilers! 

Merle Dixon racist brother of the crowd favorite Daryl Dixon. He eventually fought his evil ways to do some good.

Merle Dixon is number 69  in wave 3 of the Funko vinyl Pop! The Walking Dead Television figure line.

 All up the figure is pretty cool, and a decent representation.

Just based on the head i would not be able to identify who this figure was.

Merle has a weird mark on his face, i assume its facial hair but it looks kind of odd without a mouth. I like the lines under his eyes.

His hair is kind of cool, i like how its done.

This is how i would be able to identify him, it looks awesome.
 

He also has a pistol in his belt holster. 

Here he is with his Walker version.

Merle Dixon with his brother Daryl Dixon.

Some of my figures have an important human rights message.

Predator

Predator

Predator is a 1987 science fiction movie. The franchise includes games, comics, sequels, and has even been incorporated into the Aliens universe.

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.
