It’s THURSDAY! Horray! So it’s time for another edition of Thursday Night Highlight! As always this column is being brought to you by Eddie from Eddie’s Toy Box, or better known as @Esbjo_Figs from Instagram. It’s a weekly showcase of some of my own personal favorite shots from the week. First I want to thank each and every one of you that let me know your top 5 Pops last week. The responses were great! It’s always refreshing when you guys interact with one another. I dig it! So again to all of you that participated a huge thank you! Now that photo up there? It’s the gimmie! And it should be a reminder to all of you that Hot Topic Hot Cash is now active and will be until next week. So get out there and increase your Pop collections with some Hot Cash! That’s also Hot Topic Guy and if you want to get a closer look at him…. you guessed it! Copy and paste this > https://youtu.be/XxQON9TDCVc in your browser! Let’s get on with the photos!
“Welp…time to call animal control.”
Rico, Skipper, Private and Kowalski from the Penguins of Madagascar series of the Pop! Movies line. You ever open your cabinet to grab a snack and find four penguins just rummaging around? One holding live dynamite? No? Just me? Of course! Well these four Penguins are always up to no good and what better way to show them off then by placing them in my cabinet next to some fruit snacks and chips. Skipper is already holding his own bag of cheese curls so it only made sense to go this route with them. That and thank God the snow is over so I couldn’t put them outside. There are some minor paint flaws on each of the penguins though, but that’s to be expected I suppose. Just smile and wave boys. Smile and wave. I’ve also reviewed them here > https://youtu.be/jLGcIrQjRtY
“That’s the last time you sit in Sheldon’s spot, Leonard.”
6 inch Viserion from the Game of Thrones Pop! line and Sheldon and Leonard from the Big Bang Theory mystery minis line. Uh oh. It looks like Leonard has crossed Sheldon for the last time as Sheldon has enlisted the help of the mighty Viserion! With the way things are going in Game of Thrones maybe it would take Dr. Cooper coming in and taming Viserion only to claim him as his own and go on a true warpath of destruction. I could totally see Sheldon causing trouble with this dragon couldn’t you? And the mystery minis fit so perfectly inside his mouth that I couldn’t pass up the opportunity to create this photo. > https://youtu.be/N9fzMIgXhEk
“One. of a kind. Sarah Manning Promo art.”
Sarah Manning from the Pop! Television line Orphan Black series. Alright full disclosure I had no idea what Orphan Black was when I purchased these Pops at Hot Topic a week ago. I’ve since watched every single episode in preparation for season three this coming Saturday. If you haven’t seen Orphan Black I highly suggest you do so. It’s awesome. This is a recreating of the promo art they released as well. It’s one of four promo posters I’ve recreated for my Instagram page. You can see the other three by looking me up on Instagram or I’ve since posted all four on the Funko Trading Facebook group! Any Orphan Black fans out there?
