Mezco Toyz Exclusive One:12 Collective Classic Punisher Figure Review

Mezco Toyz Exclusive Classic Punisher

How do you start a review for such an iconic character from my childhood...by explaining how this is the best Punisher figure ever made!  Mezco has released three different versions of the Punisher with much debate around which version is the best.  I currently own all three versions, and I believe they are unique in their own way depending on the time period you may have read the Punisher comics.  What separates the Classic version from the other two is it brings us that early, original Punisher look.  Let's jump into the review and see why this figure punishes all of the others!

NECA Toys NES Rambo Figure

NECA Toys: NES Rambo

So who wants to battle the giant spider to save the little boy that was never a part of the movie? 

  Rambo, the video game, was a product of the NES creators taking parts from the movie and adding in a whole bunch of crazy things in order to make a game that kids would play in the 80's.  

RAMBO II was one of the first action movies I watched as a kid. My dad called me into the house that Saturday night to watch it at 7 years old.  As a young kid, this movie was so cool and just opened my imagination to so many things I would grow to love.  I would quote Murdock when I was bringing my toys outside with my brother saying "Maybe the government didn't care?" just because I thought the movie was so cool.  

Then, one Friday night my father took us to the mall to get dinner and walk around. We always did things on the weekends and I loved the mall.  We stopped into Babbage's, yes Babbage's, and I see the NES Rambo video game sitting there!  At the time, I didn't know there was a game, and neither did my dad or my brother.  Back then we only received games for maybe Birthday or for Christmas, but that night my dad saw how excited we were and bought us the game!  We couldn't wait to get home and play as RAMBO on the NES system, and we did for about an hour before my father shut us down for the night.  We played the game the entire weekend and days and days to come until one day we had finally beat the game!

Now some key things about this story...we had a very old, small, black and white TV and we had to keep the game paused to not lose our progress.  Even with these odds against us we beat it! About a month later, my brother got a nice new color TV, way bigger than our black and white TV.  So the first game we wanted to play and see in color was RAMBO!  We turn it on, and instantly love the colors...but we also notice this thing up top called the weapons bar.  We both freaked out and said we beat the entire game with a knife when we had all of these weapons we could of used???  So yes, my brother and I beat the NES RAMBO game with just the knife and (somehow grenades).  That's part of my NES RAMBO childhood memories, and well now I get to play the game all over again.  This time I get to use his RPG and Bow and arrow right away! 

Packaging

The NES Rambo comes in the classic box I remember having in my hands at Babbage's.  It looks so cool, and you can't help but remember what it was like to play the game.  The insert shows a conversation between Trautman and Rambo about the mission just like in the NES game.  The backdrop for the figure is the classic jungle look from the game, I always loved these boards.  On the back it shows you highlights of his weapons, and what the purpose of RAMBO is. 

Figure

The Rambo figure is well made, and the paint applications really stand out on this figure.  He has the body of the NECA Rambo II figure with highlights of orange and other colors to give him that true NES feel.  His joints work well and allows him to be put in almost any pose you choose.  I particularly like the look of his face and the bandanna that is what's left of Co's dress.  

Weapons

Rambo comes with a nice assortment of weapons and hands to make him look the way you want.  He can hold all his weapons snug, and comes with the long awaited bow with arrows!  The bow is made well, and has actual rope to allow you to fire the arrow!  Between the grenade, RPG, bow and arrow, I don't think anyone is stopping RAMBO!

Bottom Line

This figure is unique and a treasure to any NES or RAMBO fan.  He is the total package! From the box, to the figure and his weapons, he is a must buy.  NECA continues to make these wonderful video game line figures. I am very pleased to know that there are many more to come!  NECA Toys is at the top of their game right now!

NECA Toys Alien KANE Figure Review

NECA Toys Alien Figure:  KANE

*More Pics at the Bottom*

First off, let's just say KANE is a very detailed figure, and man I would not want to be him.  If you know anything about the alien movie, you know his FATE.  The first Alien movie has a different feel from the rest just because of the time and process it takes to see the Alien, "Big Chap".  Let's talk about KANE and what this unique figure has to offer.

Packaging:

The packaging is the classic NECA look with art on the sides and back as well as the backer card.  I have a particular way of opening these figures because I prefer not to destroy any of the artwork that comes with him.  Check it out….. Pretty cool!

Figure:

After opening the figure I noticed right away the amount of detail and workmanship that went into it.  From head to toe he is covered in details that are specific to the character and his suit.  I removed all of his parts and right away went into bend and pose mode. He was a little tight which is normal, but after moving him some he was still snug but able to pose. 

ACCESSORIES: 

He comes with a nice 2 piece helmet, very cool gun, and the signature light he carries from the movie.  I remember watching this as a kid, and certain elements of the movie blew my mind.  Kane definitely walked into one of the areas that did that to me! The helmet comes off and reveals the nasty face hugger stuck to his face.  Once this happens, it's all over...you will no longer have a stomach (even if you have a bottle of Pepto!)

Overall:

Once I was done critiquing him on his own, I threw him right into the alien pit.  Good luck to anyone that goes anywhere near this group of nasty's. He fits right in with the rest of NECA's line of Aliens and photographs very well!  I did notice when I initially took him out of the package he has some slight stickiness to certain areas of his paint.  Generally, with any figure that this happens to, after being out of the package for a little while, it tends to dry up and not be noticeable.  It didn't affect anything with the figure, and I didn't have any problems with him. I just opened him up and went nuts with him!

Be on the lookout for new review on NECA's Bishop figure soon!

You can pick these up at Entertainment Earth and other toy stores.
