Where My Bonus Went

You may remember this post about a week ago, in which I got a bonus at work, and spent it in two minutes on an action figure?

Also do you remember I was all coy and didn't say which action figure I bought?

Remember? Pepperidge Farms remembers.

Good news! The action figure finally came in, which means I can finally answer the question that has literally kept us all on the very edge of our seats (work with me here).  So without further ado, if you haven't figured out from the images already, that action figure is...

Deadpool.

The model is a NECA Marvel Classics Deadpool 1/4 Scale Action Figure.  It stands 20" tall, which is about 15x taller than a minifig.  He has an incredible amount of detail, comes with several weapons and hand poses.  Deadpool also has a decent amount of articulation so it should be fairly decent for posing.

In other words, it should make a good model to start expanding beyond LEGO.

I also picked up a couple comics to act as inspiration.

It should be interesting to shoot this model of Deadpool as the scale and poseablilty is much larger than the LEGO I am used to.  I am up for the challenge. Maximum effort!

So that is where my bonus went... stay tuned for more images of the Merc With A Mouth, Deadpool.
Pass the chimichangas!
