Scott Pilgrim’s Precious Little Collectible
 |
?
Mezco finally released official pics of their Scott Pilgrim action figure and… I’m not feeling it. Part of the problem is that either the image has been squished or the figure is just too thin. But I don’t know that Bryan O’Malley’s simple, stylized art is being done any favors by an articulated action figure in a basic pose. I think I would’ve preferred the treatment McFarlane gave to the Simpsons, where they made tiny dioramas of iconic scenes. Also, for soem reason the figure looks like its made out of clay to me. Oh well. Apparently Scott will come in different shirts and faces, if that makes anyone feel better. You can pre-order it here for $14.
