The wait is over — we finally have new content on Scary-Crayon! First up, the more substantial piece: a review of NECA’s Street Fighter IV Guile figure, complete with many (many) sprite-matched photos. He’s probably my least favorite of NECA’s SFIV figures to date, though I think that might say more about my feelings for the character than it does about the quality of the toy. Even so, he’s no Chun-Li.
Then there’s Dusty Plastic HELLside #10, which stars Sakura, Flint, and a Plasma Kreaps Zombie that I never finished reviewing! I totally meant to, and I started taking photos of the packaging, but then I got scared because the figure came inside a bunch of goo (hence the “plasma” thing) and could potentially have stained my lightbox backdrop. I halted my photography session to thoroughly wash the parts, but by the time I finished I just wasn’t in the mood to continue. It’s not a bad toy, though!
A few links also go hand-in-hand with this review. First, if you saw the thumbnail on the content pages and wondered where that cool Flint sprite came from, it’s available — along with a lot of other nifty G.I. Joe sprite creations — on this page. And as far as the Flint figure goes, I recently reviewed it over at Articulated Discussion! So yeah, check that out. 🙂
Speaking of plugs, there’s a new link to Dork Dimension on the sidebar! I think I’ve plugged it before, but it’s really a cool site that you should visit even when I’m not telling you to stop by. I mean, where else can you find current reviews of old Playmates figures like Deanna Troi, Slice ‘N’ Dice Shredder, and Psycrow? Okay, you could find stuff like that here, but I haven’t reviewed those figures. Yet. Seriously, though, it’s a cool site. Once Nathan gets those javascript issues worked out, it’ll be perfect. 😉
All for now, then! Hopefully weeks won’t pass before the next update.
always a unique review from you, Wes, i’m lovin’ it….you put so much effort reviewing your least favorite character, gotta appreciate that kind of passion from an otaku…thanks man.
