Hey Yo! A little Razor Ramon for ya on this edition of Thursday Night Highlight brought to you by Esbjo_figs (Instagram… but you already knew that didn’t you?). Hope everyone is having a FUNtastic week, and hey if you’re not look on the bright side tomorrow is Friday! … Friday… getting down on Friday. Try getting that out of your head now. Anywho… let’s get to the pictures!
“Almost warms your heart… Almost”
Elsa (#82) from the Pop! Disney Line and Snow Miser (#1) from the Pop! Holiday Line. For this picture I’ve brought together two masters of winter snow. Queen Elsa, and Snow Miser make the perfect match… if Snow Miser wasn’t so old… and Elsa weren’t so young. But if there were anyone in the world that would understand Queen Elsa and her gift it would be the Snow Miser wouldn’t it? And wouldn’t they go through a lovely stroll through a snow covered forest? You know they would. He’s Mr. Icicle and she let’s it go! … ah…. I’m too much.
“I wantcha back. Ooh ooh bay-be. I wantcha back. Yea yea yea.”
Dancing Groot (#65) from the Pop! Marvel line and Drax. The inspiration for this photo came from the… Wait…. SPOILER ALERT… Seriously it’s the number one rated movie for the year 2014 and since I had a hard enough time finding the thing on blu ray this week I’m going to assume if you haven’t seen this movie yet either you’ve been asleep for a few months, or that rock you’re living under is too heavy to come out of. If you haven’t seen the movie though go out and get it… if you can… and watch it immediately. Then watch it two more times. It’s that good. But, now that I’ve rambled long enough for you to know that this is in fact a spoiler alert if you continue reading I’ll have a clear conscience. The inspiration for this photo comes from one of the last scenes of the movie. Groot is now a baby and is getting down to some Jackson 5. Drax glances over and he stops dancing, but luckily for us (… and some licensing issues) our Dancing Groot Pop will never stay still because he’s a bobblehead! Another reason why you need to Free The Pops. How could you deprive Groot from what he was reborn to do?

Jax Teller (#88) from the Pop! Television Line. This as well you could call a SPOILER ALERT. Sons of Anarchy ended it’s historic seven year run this past Tuesday night and it was one of the highest rated series finales for any show in television history. For seven years we’ve seen the life of Jackson “Jax” Teller unfold as he tried to get his club in order and away from the dirty deeds that his step father had gotten them buried deeper and deeper in. The show ended just the way you’d expect. I won’t go into the details about how it ended, but know that this picture, while could be considered a spoiler, doesn’t really let you know what happens after, before, or heck even during this. For all you know it’s just Jax having a grand ol time on his bike. Anyway this is a recreation of one of the scenes from the series finales. If you like dramas and haven’t seen an episode of Sons of Anarchy yet. I highly suggest watching it. Keep in mind though that it does push the limit to how much the human heart can withstand before looking away from the television and crying yourself to sleep.
That’s all I have for tonight. If you haven’t yet… be sure to follow me over on Instagram (www.instagram.com/esbjo_figs) for more pictures like the three up top, and some I didn’t show. Also, look out for me over on the Funko Trading Group on Facebook. Have a good night, be kind to one another…. oh and go to the VK Auction House and BID on those incredible Toys for Tots customs… and as always… Free the Pops!
