Movie Maniacs: Series 3
Today we’re going to take a look at Series 3 of McFarlane Toys Movie Maniacs line. This line had characters from my two favorite movies: The Thing and Army of Darkness. The sculpt of each figure got even better in this bunch. You can see it more in The Thing figures with the detail being greater and more intricate. The human figures of the line actually look like the actors that portray those roles. A lot of time you get movie figures that look somewhat like the actor or not at all. As far as articulation goes there really isn’t much but that’s absolutely fine as they are really meant to be for show and stay posed in their movie stance. Here’s the list of figures in this bunch:
- Ash (Army of Darkness)
- The Thing: Blair Monster (The Thing)
- The Thing: Norris Creature & Spider (The Thing)
- Edward Scissorhands (Edward Scissorhands)
- Brundlefly (The Fly)
- John Shaft (Shaft)
- Snake Plissken (Escape from L.A.)
Short: Ataque de Pánico! (Panic Attack!)
Directed by Fede Alvarez this awesome short came out a few years ago from South America. This goes to show that you can make a nice looking sci-fi/action short for almost nothing. It also gained him enough attention that he was offered to helm the remake of the cult classic The Evil Dead which is being released in 2013.
