Merle Dixon Walker, The Walking Dead

Walker Merle Dixon

 

Merle Dixon walker version. 

 Merle Dixon is number 71 in the Walking Dead, Television line of Funko vinyl pop figures.

 He looks like a zombie version of Merle Dixon.

The mouth area still looks strange despite the added blood.

The added blood is cool and this is a nice figure.

Merle dead and living, before and after if you will.

Review: SDCC 2013 exclusive Prison Guard Walker

 SDCC 2013 exclusive Prison Guard Walker

 This is the SDCC exclusive blood splatter Prison Guard Walker from the Funko Television pop vinyl figure line.

                    

  

It is the same as the usual number 68 figure but has blood splatter paint on it.  It is limited to 1008 pieces.

 It should come with this sticker on the window box.

The Walking Dead exclusives also have some blood on the box and a bloody hand print on the side.  

The figure looks like a zombie in riot gear, as it should.

 There is blood on top of the helmet.

 There is blood on the visor.

And blood splattered on the riot gear itself.

The visor can go up or down. Personally with all the blood on the outside i like it down.

I think with the addition of the visor articulation both these figures are an awesome addition to the zombie hoard.

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: Ghostbusters Funko Pop figures.

Ghostbusters!

 Ghostbusters is a paranormal comedy movie released in 1984 that has gone on to create sequels, comics, toys, cartoon series and games. The original movie is well worth a watch if you haven't seen it.
To celebrate the 30th anniversary of Ghostbusters Funko are releasing a line of Ghostbusters figures for their Movies line, and Rides line.

 First up we have Dr. Peter Venkman, he is a parapsychologist who like many in the real world, didn't believe in ghosts until he saw one. 
The figure is obviously a Ghostbuster and seems to be wielding a
 proton Pack. I like him.

 Dr. Raymond Stanz is an expert in paranormal history and mythology. He carries a ghost trap and what looks like a walkie talkie. 
Can i just pause for a second to comment on how ridiculously named the walkie talkie is, it sounds like the inventer allowed his child to name it, anyway.
Ray also wears ecto goggles upon his head. He looks very cool.

 Dr. Egon Spengler invented a lot of the Ghostbusters specialised equipment. He is seen here wearing his glasses, and holding a walkie talkie (to talk to ray?) and a P.K.E Meter which allows the Ghostbusters to track supernatural entities.  
He is a cool figure and the team will look great together.

The Ghostbusters would get board without a ghost to bust, so here we have Slimer! Slimer looks absolutely fantastic and comes with a translucent base.

 And the Big Bad Stay Puft Marshmallow Man, he looks adorable or um terrifying, perhaps both. He stands 6" tall so he will tower over the Ghostbusters. A great idea and a must for any Ghostbusters fan.

For those wondering where Winston Zeddemore is, worry no more, Winston comes with the ECTO-1 in the Rides line. The Ecto-1 looks very cool and i cant wait to get the whole line of these Ghostbusters.

Thoughts:

107 in the movies line seems to be missing, though it may be a Winston figure. 

The Rides vechles are 1; Batmobile, 2; Delorian,  and i am not sure what 3 is, perhaps the turtles van?

These figures look awesome and i believe they will all make their way into my collection.

Available:

Dr. Peter Venkman, Dr. Raymond Stantz, Dr. Egon Spengler, Slimer, and the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man Available in April while we have to wait until May for Winston Zeddmore in the Ecto-1.

Disco Skeletor Television Masters of the Universe

Disco Skeletor

Skeletor is one of the major villains in the Masters of the Universe story. 

 Skeletor is the 19th figure in the Funko vinyl Pop Masters of the Universe Television line. This version is the SDCC exclusive figure that is limited to 480 pieces. 

The limited figure is noted by the sticker on the front of the window box.

Skeletor is a good representation of his cartoon character, i have no idea about why he is dressed in this outfit, or its relevance.
If you know please comment and share your knowledge.

Skeletor's Skeletal face has pale Funko eyes, a hollow for a nose and prominent teeth.

 The figure is very nicely detailed with metallic paint.

Skeletor wields the Havoc staff that amplifies and enhances his magical powers, this version has startling gold horns.
 

His costume is nicely detailed and faithful to his classic character, though as mentioned the colours are far more fabulous. 

Here he is beside Disco Glitter Zombie from the Plants Vs Zombies line.

Here he is beside his ordinary Skeletor version.

 Skeletor and Disco Skeletor look amazing on display beside He-Man.

 Exclusive figures; Acid splash Alien, Blood splatter Bicycle Girl, Disco skeletor and Glow in the Dark White Walker.

Batman questions Skeletor about the missing nipple mystery. Oddly Skeletor has no nipples.
