Review: Funko Predator (Glow Version) ReAction Figure
I like the Predator (Glow Version)
ReAction Figure. I should - I asked for it to be made! The idea was
originally "Hey, remember the Stalker Predator? Let's do a new one." I
was expecting an unpainted figure cast in glow-in-the-dark plastic, and
what we got was something a little better - the final figure is
different than the prototype images, too! A bit of silver defines the
figure's face, and a few gaps in the silver let the glow shine through
in a dark room. If you hit the figure with a black light, you will
undoubtedly notice a very significant difference.[ READ THE FULL REVIEW ]

Review: Entertainment Earth Exclusive Clear Funko Universal Monsters The Invisible Man ReAction Figure
This
was one of mine - also low-hanging fruit. I loved the ReAction concept
on sight, so naturally while working I had to do some exclusives. A
variant of The Invisible Man just made sense, and a low run
(which I do not believe I am allowed to divulge) was run and released
late last year. The question of how to do it was kicked around, but to
do the whole figure in clear with no paint was my idea from the get-go.
In the movie, the character covered himself because his skin, if
exposed, was invisible - and he didn't want to freak everybody out at
certain points.[ READ THE FULL REVIEW ]

Review: Funko Predator (Unmasked) ReAction Figure
I like the Predator (Unmasked)
ReAction figure a bunch, but I'm starting to think the format may be on the downturn . Prices started dropping pretty harshly in December and it seems
the buzz is mixed - and let me tell you, deservedly so in some cases.
The Predator figures are pretty nice with lots of shiny exposed plastic
and decent sculpting, plus you can pry off the backpack if you really
want to. I don't want to. I want to leave it as it is.[ READ THE FULL REVIEW ]

Review: Funko Universal Monsters Dracula ReAction Figure
Arguably the most famous of the classic Universal Monsters, Lugosi's Dracula
only appeared in two movies (and other places) and helped instill the
seemingly endless fascination with vampires in popular culture. Along
with zombies, it's a safe bet that in almost any genre show they're
going to come across some sort of vampire thing. Maybe Greek Vampires.
Maybe Space Vampires. Perhaps Salt Vampires. It's going to happen
largely thanks to the surprisingly unnerving performance in the 1931
film. The figure does a good job of picking up many of the significant
aspects of his costume, but does a rotten job on getting the head
right. The back of the packaging is stamped with the Lugosi licensing
logo, but (and this is important for those of you who bought figures in
the 1990s and earlier) the Lugosi stamp of approval wasn't always there.
Sometimes you have the character's license, but not the actor, and in
this case the packaging says they have both. But that ain't Bela. Back
in the 1980s, it could go either way, so let's say this was a conscious
choice.[ READ THE FULL REVIEW ]
