Jaaks Pacific Streets of Rage - Roo

Not gonna lie. I don't think I ever got to play as Roo in any Streets of Rage game. I think he was an unlockable player. I can't remember. I should Google it. Either way, Jaaks Pacific took on the task of producing a highly articulated boxing Kangaroo and did a decent job of it. 


I'm really digging the sculpt work on all of these Jaaks figures. Judging from all the weird, moving parts in the legs of a kangaroo, I think Jaaks did a pretty good job with Roo. 


It took me a little while to figure out the leg articulation but I was able to finally get Roo into some pretty cool poses. 


Here's Roo sparring with GI Joe Classified Big Boa.

That just about wraps up my Jaaks Pacific posts. Stay tuned as I've got some things on the way that I'll be showing once they arrive.

CT Toys - Spider-Man (Classic)

CT Toys is heavy on my radar right now. I was pleasantly surprised with Wolverine but this Spider-Man figure has made me a full fledged believer. Included are 5 sets of alternate hands, 1 with magnets (6 in all if you count the ones he comes equipped with), 1 extra set of articulated feet with magnets, 4 web streams and an alternate McFarlane style head sculpt. Oh, and a display stand.  I've said in the past how sucky I am at posing action figures. That said, MAFEX/CT figs are great for posing, even if you're not very good at it. It's "kid gloves" with these guys, though, as they are a little gummier than Legends figures.  CT Toys Wolvie and Spidey!  Here's CT Toys Spidey next to a couple of Marvel Legends Spider-Man figures. The differences are pretty pronoun...

1990 Toy Biz Marvel Superheroes Daredevil

Growing up we had lots of cool superhero toys to collect. There was never a shortage of Batman, Superman or Spiderman figures in the toy aisles. Mainstream characters got all the love. Dudes like Daredevil, not so much. That all changed in the mid to late 80's (Mattel Secret Wars) and in 1990 Toy Biz would start releasing their seemingly neverending line of Marvel Superheroes that gave us action figures of everybody from  Daredevil to Deathlok.
