sharing some more pics of my recent arrivals!
« on: October 09, 2008, 04:49:28 PM »

What can I say, these two figures are must-haves for your collection.  You've already read the reviews on Croc (I said CROC!) Master so the bite on his bicep is well documented.  Overall the whole sculpt and attention to detail is fantastic, however with a critical eye: 1) his legs feel a bit spindley considering he's supposed to be large and powerful, to put it into perspective, Mutt's legs look bigger and 2) If you didn't like the mid-torso articulation to begin with, well because of his croc-textured tank top, it's even more glaring in certain poses.



Here's a shot of my Michaels 1:18 scale animal farm crocodile next to the 25th and the original - no contest I say.



Next is Mutt.  Yes Junkyard has his junk but even more so, next to the original Junkyard, this one looks pretty realistic.  Mutt is also a nice sculpt, highly detailed once again and a future look at Resolute/Sigma6/25th Anniversary Duke and Lift-Ticket because I think they all share the same mold.  Now I'm really looking forward to Lift-Ticket and the Skyhawk.



Last pic is for Pete the Greek.  The heads from the original 25th Joes fit rather loosely on these DVD-pack Cobra Trooper necks, but I'm sure wave 11 Cobra Flint will have that corrected so we can all do the Mutt switch and reinact that famous cartoon scene in Pyramid of Darkness when they meet/recruit Shipwreck.

I've always wondered with Croc Master, why a whip? Would they even feel it? Every time I've seen one of those guys from Australia (Steve Irwin or Rob Bredl) who wrestle Crocs etc. they usually have a stick.

I dont know, but the character is pretty sweet.  Here's another pic I snapped of Mutt & Junkyard:

Sweet pics. Croc Master has always been one one my childhood favorites, so to get a great updated 25th version, is awesome.

For the swivel torsos, yeah..a lot of the figs look akward in certain poses.

As for Mutt, does the muzzle stay in place or always fall to the chin?....as for junkyard.....anyone thinking..."for me to poop on!!"

Now that you have pointed it out, I am going to have a hard time looking at Junkyard and not thinking of Triumph!

I really like what they've done with Junkyard, nice detail, and Mutt looks pretty good too. Croc Master, meh, didn't like him as a kid, won't be adding him to my collection now.

the muzzle fits fine on Mutt, I just dropped it to his chin because I wanted to see his 70s John Holmes 'stach for the pics :)

Why is Freddie Mercury wearing Lift-Ticket's costume and walking Triumph the Insult Comic Dog? ;D

That HUGE croc you gave the Master makes him look even more awesome!

Michals is an arts and craft retail chain.  They are all over the place here in Ontario, and I have seen them in the States as well.
