Funko Primal Age Scarecrow

Image
It's been a hot minute since I've picked up any new action figures but at a mere 5 bucks and some change shipped , I couldn't pass up this Funko DC Primal Age Scarecrow figure. Man , holding this thing gave me flashbacks of  old Remco Lost World of the Warlord figures. Everything from the packaging , the weight of it and even  the smell of plastic chemicals that comes oozing out of the clamshell after opening. I realize that I am quite late to the Primal Age party. By the time I got tired of holding out for new 3 3/4 figures , Funko had inundated the market with a barrage of  5.5 MOTU styled action figures . I held out on those ,too , until the other day. I already knew what to expect as I had already picked up a Zorn figure which Is pretty much the same deal.      The great thing about this figure Is that It doesn't have to be Scarecrow. Funko gave some of these figures such a unique look that they could literally drop into any 5.5 uni

Toy Dreams

Anybody here ever have toy dreams? Last night I had a dream that I was in a hobby shop looking through a spin rack of loose action figures.There were lots of figures I needed but nothing I was looking for. What I wanted wasn't anywhere to be seen but I knew It was there because aparantly I had seen it there before lol.I asked the guy behind the counter If he still had the 3 3/4 Batman figure that came with his batcave ,it sold as a set.He grabs the set ( It looked like a Battle Mountain playset with one of those black rubber motorcycle riding Batman figures)from behind the counter and places it on the glass counter top as I clamour on to a guy sitting behind me about how hard it is to find a cheap 3 3/4 articulated Batman figure 😄😄😄 Anyhow, the set was selling for 28 dollars , I offered 25 and the vendor accepted. Funny shit! I woke up chuckling to myself as I made my way to the bathroom and then to the toy room, all the while questioning my sanity lol. I knew I was ok ,though,

Jurassic Park/G.I. Joe 3 3/4 Unreleased Action Figure

I'm pretty sure by now most of you have seen this figure floating around the interwebs on toy review vlogs and on action figure blogs. I think the first time I saw this was on eBay. These figures were leaked, I guess, from China maybe?  Somehow , some way they made their way to the states and finally , thanks to Brothermidnight, I am a proud owner of , well I'll just call him JP. This guy has no name or backstory  but Is a dope figure , nonetheless. He's a big figure. Definitely a bruiser! Here are some comparison shots next to some of my bigger 3 3/4 figs. I was having a hard time figuring out how I'd display him.I ended up putting him next to some of my other movie themed 3 3/4 figures .I know,this guy never really came out in any movies but he does have the JP stamp on his vest , so. Plus, i think he and Indie would make a great dinosaur wrangling team ;)
