Evening all! Esbjo_Figs (Instagram) here once again with another edition of Thursday Night Highlight. Once again this is a special column for popvinyls.com featuring some of my best shots of the past week, or deep in my archives. Let’s get to it!
Headless Hershel (#153) from the Pop! Television line *SDCC 2014 exclusive* and Leatherface (Horror Mystery Mini 1/72 ratio). What better way to kick off tomorrow night then with this picture? Leatherface is bloody. Hershel is bloody…and headless. So the two go together like peanut butter and jelly! The inspiration for this picture came from the simple fact that chainsaws can cut off heads (That simple!) and with the outside setting it made for a perfect Texas Chainsaw Massacre meets The Walking Dead mash up.
The Undertaker (#08) from the Pop! WWE line. Zombie Jake (#44) from the Pop! Television line *SDCC 2013 exclusive* and various Walkers (The Walking Dead) from the Pop! Television line. The inspiration for this photo came from the original Deadman himself the Undertaker. I’m a huge WWE fan and have been since I learned how to walk and drop elbows from the top of the couch so when Funko announced a WWE line I knew it would be perfect. The Undertaker marches from Death Valley with his Ministry of Darkness in tow. If you have a chance to pick up this Pop! I highly suggest you do so. It’s one of the best and captures The Undertaker’s likeness perfectly. Although… I’d like to see a variant at some point with different attire and white eyes. Talking to you Funko/Hot Topic!
Iron Man (#11) and Captain America (#41) both from the Pop! Marvel line. Let’s face it if you’re a fan of Marvel or superhero movies in general you know this past week was huge! They announced a slew of new movies and one was that the storyline for Captain America 3 would be the Civil War storyline. I won’t go into huge details about it, but it puts Captain America at odds with Iron Man and as much as you hate to do it…just like when your friends break up you have to choose a side. This movie also means more Captain America and Iron Man variants for those ever growing collections! Take that Deadpool and Daryl Dixon!
