Bubba talked about how much it reminded him of one of my childhood favorites Crystar from Remco so I had to go out get one and what was better was the price of $3 they wanted for it at the Big Lots Discount Store.
I have to say right now that I got the wonderful smell of plastic from this action figure when it was removed from it's package and I was really taken back to my youth by it so that was a really nice bonus in itself.
The figure is very nice looking and really does has a "Crystar" feel to it but I would say it reminds me more of Crystar's enemy Moltar than anything else but to me that is awesome because it's like I have both those figures I once had again but just combined into one.
Froztok also includes a pair of swords that easily slide over his hands which is a great extra but I kind of wish they were red in color to match his eyes instead of the green they come in.
So to say am pleased with this action figure from a toy/card game line that I had little to no interest is a understatement because am pleasantly pleased with both the nostalgia that it unintentionally gives me plus the low price point makes it all that much better.
He is great looking!
ReplyDeleteThanks Hobby.
DeleteI really want to get some of these now jb!See what you went and did :( ;)
ReplyDeletelol sorry Tony.
DeletePretty cool looking figure JP!
ReplyDeleteThanks JP and he was cheap too.
DeleteWow! What an amazing figure!!!
ReplyDeleteWe will look for one around here.
I bet one will turn at the flea market you guys go too for sure.
DeleteI sure hope so!
DeleteI LIKE !! Thats a cool lookin figure, I first thought of Crystar too !
ReplyDeleteYeah I can I not buy something that screams "Remco" right?
Deletehaha I was going to ask you if you also thought he even SMELLED like Crystar, but the thought seemed silly. But apparently I wasn't the only one who thought so!
ReplyDeleteOh yeah Eric it really must be that clear plastic they use because this was the same smell I remember now from all those years ago.
DeleteIf you really want those swords to be red, maybe you can try using Rit dye to change the color. Some folks have had luck using that stuff on plastic knife handles, I'm curious if it would work for something like this as well.
ReplyDeleteMaybe me and the wife have used Rit in the past but only on fabrics so maybe I will try it if I get another one of these figures.
DeleteNice! Again: I would totally buy this
ReplyDeleteI wanted to grab a few more of these to give out to folks but I can't find anymore of them.
