Yeah, it's that simple.
This year Toyriffic will again be taking a look at Halloween themed toys, or toys that fit into the Halloween season. Or whatever I want. It's my blog, dammit!
Today I have in my bag of tricks: Pennywise the Clown, of Stephen King's IT fame. Pennywise is a part of the Funko Mystery Minis Horror Classics line.
Thanks to John of the awesome and very long named RobotMonsterSpaceSuperheroLEGOTarzanVideoGamesZombiesComicBooksEtcDidiForgetAnybody? Blog for sending this guy my way! I am a huge Stephen King fan, but I am not so huge a fan of blind boxed toys (because you can't squeeze them to discern their contents before purchasing) so without John's assistance I probably would never have gotten my paws on this guy!
I just hope he doesn't kill me in my sleep. Pennywise that is, not John. Although I don't want John to kill me in my sleep either, now that I think about it.
Cool, and yeah it's a bummer being a discerning collector with so many neat blink box toys (I sooo want the Tron minifig from this Funko Sci-Fi line.) That's a pretty nifty looking Pennywise. Glad to see him getting some toy love these days. Wonder if Funko will do a Curry-accurate Legends version...?
ReplyDeleteI can't see him appearing in Legends, but I could see him appearing as a ReAction figure in the Horror Series at some point.
DeleteThis guy is cool, Eric, although what's the deal with the head? Is the skull cap a separately molded piece?
It's just his brow-line. Part of these guys' design aesthetic.
DeleteYeah it kinda stinks not being able to do the ol squeeze test with the boxed figs but it does give you a chance to trade with people.
ReplyDeleteAlways look on the bright side of life!
DeleteGlad you like him Eric and I promise I never killed anyone in there sleep....or have I? Bawhawhaw. :D
ReplyDeleteYikes!
DeleteClowns just never pleasing especially with sharp teeth. Yucks!
