Do not adjust your monitors. It's true. I bought a dolly yesterday. NO I DIDN'T! Yes I did! NO! NO! I DID NOT!
I got a little birthday money this past weekend and had seen this Retro Action Two-Face at a local Toys R Us express last week. I seriously considered buying him at the time but didn't - I was lucky that he was still there when I returned. A lone Two-Face among a bunch of Batmans and Aquamans.
Apparently Black Manta is also part of this release, but there was no sign of him. And although I was tempted to get Batman, I could only get one and Two-Face is a way cooler toy - partly because he never actually appeared in the original Mego line this Retro-Action line is based upon.
He's also one of the best silver-age looking Two-Face toys ever made. Look at that suit!
Sweet tie, Dent. And look at that split face! So comic booky and awesome - I like the green! What a cool dolly.
I AM NOT A DOLLY! I AM AN ACTION FIGURE!
My pants are removable. I am a dolly. Case closed.
As many others have reported regarding these Retro Action dolls, my Two-Face dolly also has the hunched back and super loose hips these guys tend to suffer from. Fortunately for Two-Face, his clothes are thick enough to support the loose joints and cover the other physical maladies.And I'm glad about that, because he's a very fun toy! Very old-school looking in both sculpt and toy design. Two-Face truly lives up to the 'Retro' moniker.
I am a changed man, people. NO I'M NOT! I love this dolly. IT'S CRAP! I really think Two-Face is a cool dolly toy and recommend him to everyone. I HATE HIM!
I will hug him and squeeze him and call him Harvey. I WILL KICK HIM AND STUFF FIRECRACKERS DOWN HIS PANTS AND CALL HIM AN AMBULANCE!
Heh, heh :D
ReplyDeleteWhat makes this even better is that it's a dolly i already have. he is really cool isn't he? FUN post!
Did you flip your two-headed coin to decide to get him or not? lol.
ReplyDeleteHe is pretty cool looking better than the Lex Luthor and Sinistro i keep seeing at my Toys R Us.
Ha! ha! ha!
ReplyDeleteIt's over for you, my friend. Once you buy a dolly over the counter, you are done for. Just stay out of the Barbie aisle.
That's cool that you scored a Two-Face. I've never even seen one in the wild. I think they are a bit tough to find. Great figure... fits in very well with original, vintage Megos.
I knew this day would come. I'm going to go celebrate with a Pepsi Throwback.
Enjoy your dolly. Keep the pants on.
Don't worry, Brian - the pants are still on. Wait, do you mean mine or the dollie's?
ReplyDeleteIt's okay Bubba, I too am an owner of a dolly. Granted it's Green Lantern but still, it's ok. Besides compared to all the ACTION FIGURES I own, it's nothing. Think about it that way. lol
