Breaking Bad Funko Pop Gus Fring Number 167

Spoilers for Breaking Bad ahead - you have been warned!

I was lucky enough to be gifted a new Funko Pop for my collection by a friend for Christmas this year - a Pop from my favourite TV series no less! Gus Fring from Breaking Bad is such a great character and this version of Gus is after he'd been exploded, which gives this figure some great detail.

There are several other Breaking Bad Pop's available in this line - they're listed on the back of the packaging for Gus in fact, ain't that handy!

Gus is a great little figure. If you've ever picked up a Funko Pop in the past, you'll know what to expect: a super stylized figure which has limited articulation - kept to the neck letting the head swivel side to side.

Gus is wearing a sharp blue suit, which has been spoiled a little with blood stains (he wouldn't like that), and black shirt and tie and black shoes. The paint apps are kept to a minimum on the figure apart from on the face but the sculpting is really solid throughout, with buttons and pockets on the jacket and good details in his face.

Gus looks gruesome and bloodied after his "accident" in the retirement home and there's a nice few colours used to highlight the blood, muscle and burnt flesh in Gus' face.

I really like this figure, it's a fun representation of one of the coolest Breaking Bad characters (I'm not saying violence or cooking meth is cool, but Gus was so damn suave!) and I'm happy to have a Breaking Bad figure added to my collection.

Funko Sci-Fi Mystery Minis

I pre-ordered these months ago, and they finally arrived! I love the Funko mystery minis, they're great little figures.

So this series of mystery minis are all sci-fi themed filled with a plethora of characters. In total there are 17 figures and 13 characters.

The characters available are: Xenomorph (both normal and metallic), Predator (normal, bloody, and "invisible" clear versions), ET, Captain Mal, Jayne, Robby the Robot, Tron (normal and glow in the dark), Spock, Robocop, The Rocketeer, Judge Dredd, Mars Attacks Martian, and Metaluna Mutant.

Out of these figures I really wanted: either of the xenomorphs, any of the predators, Captain Mal, Jayne, Robocop and Judge Dredd. But to be fair, I like these figures so much that any would suffice.

So let's take a look

The figures are a little less glamorous when they're out of the boxes and just left in their blind black bags.

Anyway, I ripped the first one open and found...

Glow in the dark Tron! Great looking mini fig, brilliant colour. Really captures the look of the movie character and even includes the throwing disc.

Second figure I got was probably one of the figures I wanted the least... Look I'm a Wars guy.

But don't get me wrong, this is another great looking figure with really neat paint. And it's fun that Spock comes with the weapon that he fought Kirk with in that one episode... I'm sorry, don't judge me.

And lastly I got one of the figures I really did want!

Murphy!! The real proper Robocop! (Not a fan of the Robocop re-make, I won't get into it) but this guy, is great!

Amazing sculpt, likeness and paint. Just great. Love this guy.

Like all the Funko mystery minis, these don't have any articulation, but when the mini figs look this good, articulation isn't needed.

I'd really recommend these if you're a fan of sci-fi or just the Funko mystery minis in general. Great stuff.

Funko Pop Movies Sam Trck 'r Treat

How could I refuse picking up Sam from one of my favourite horror movies (and joint favourite Halloween movie with 'Halloween') 'Trick 'r Treat', in the super stylized Funko Pop style?!

I love the Funko Pop range anyway, but the new horror figures that were released for this year - including Sam, Chucky, Captain Spaulding among others I'm sure - are excellent additions. At this point, Funko own a ton of licenses which is why the Pop range is so huge and varied. But when I saw that they were releasing Sam, how could I say no?

As is standard with the Funko Pop range, the articulation is minimal. Sam's head can turn, and that's it. But this is not a figure to be posed or played with really, just to be displayed.

The details in this little guy (and he is little - he's a little shorter than standard Pop figures. It doesn't put him in scale or anything, but it's a nice touch) are brilliant.

The stiches in his mask, his button eyes, the lollipop, the patches on his suit, and the little butt flap on the back are all present.

Very happy to have this toy added to my horror collection. I might, in the future, add more of the horror Funko Pop figures to my collection, but I'm happy with who I have at the moment, though if I had to pick one, it'd be Captain Spaulding.
