Beware of Hitchhiking Ghosts!
Originally intended to be a San Diego Comic Con exclusive this year, Super 7
released a boxed set of ReAction figures based on the famous trio of specters.
As with the SDCC exclusive Tron figure, I was easily able to get these guys
into my home. I really would have felt I missed out had these only been
available at the con.
The box itself is a work of art and I have no problem displaying them this
way. The trim and bats are glossy on a matte background so they're only
visible when the light hits it just right. I love that Leota is also featured
up there on the top.
Ezra has always been my favorite of the group because he's somewhat skeletal
in appearance. This incarnation seems to be channeling Rev. Kane from
Poltergeist 2. It looks like he's wearing a pair of slippers instead of some
kind of shoe. Hey, I'm not going to fault him for his footwear choice. Once
you're dead, who cares about fashion? It's all about comfort.
Speaking of fashion, each figure comes with an accessory and Ezra's is his
hat. You can't see it in this photo but his left hand has the pinkie extended.
He's fancy like that.
Next up is Phineas. His hat isn't removable but if it was, you might mistake
him for a substitute teacher. His travel bag...this is my one gripe with the
set. That thing is a huge pain to get into his hand!
And lastly we have ol' Gus with his ball and chain. It's not removable and
it's a bit of a pain to get it to balance. Depending on which incarnation you
reference, some are holding the ball and some hold the chain with the ball
hanging down.
This is a great set and I highly recommend it if you're a Mansion maniac. It's
way better than
the set that was sold in the parks
years ago. They're still available at
Sideshow
for $60. It might seem like a lot, but when you consider individual ReAction
figures are currently retailing around $18, it's not. Now if they could just
make a scale Doombuggy!
Be sure to visit all the other houses with their lights on for you by clicking below.
cool !!
ReplyDeleteThis is a great set. Super7 should do a cardboard Haunted Mansion like the Haunted House they did years ago.
ReplyDeleteThat would be amazing!
