The Goonies

The Goonies

Mezco - 2007

 

In showcasing the pirate ship I picked up at a Toys R Us closing sale, there were so many display options with figures I have collected over the years.  Popeye won out, but some runners up were Indiana Jones (Indiana Jones and the Sargasso Pirates), Bowser and the Koopa Kids (Doom Ship, World of Nintendo), and the Goonies.  Mezco made a line of 7-inch Goonies figures back in 2007 so I thought they should get a chance to see the light of day again.  And who doesn't love the Goonies? (Maybe delusional "Monster Squad" and "Explorers" fans?)  They're good enough for me! Ya-ya-ya-ya-yeah!  Damn, I should have put some of my wrestling figures with these!

 

"Hey, you guys!!!"

The figures are a bit caricaturized and more display statues "than action" figures.  You get some head and arm movement at most, everything else is frozen in place.  Even so, they do look nice and come with a decent amount of accessories from the movie. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

"Down here, it's our time."

 

"Do you think your mom is gonna notice?"

 

"No. It's your top score on Pole Position."

"Pinchers of Peril!

 

 

 

 

 

Brand, Steph, and Andy got left behind, but Mezco did make a nice, resin replica of the Copper Bones that was a comic convention exclusive.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 I can't remember what these cost when they came out, but they are pretty pricey on Ebay today.  For a die-hard fan, they're still worth tracking down over settling for crappy Funko Re-Action throwbacks.  More like "throw ups!"
