Another 20 year dream finally realized!!
Very few films have had the impact on me that Pulp Fiction did. I was about 16 when it came out and every frame of this movie blew me away! I'd never seen anything like it...I eventually saw it in the theater 6 times!! Even now, almost 20 years later, people are STILL ripping off the movie!
All through college, I had the oversized black and white poster of Vince and Jules aiming their guns hanging in my dorm room, like everyone else across the country.
I've ALWAYS wanted toys of those guys. Even though they are just two dudes in black suits and ties, they just exude "cool." And Butch. I've always wanted a Butch figure with his katana. Boggled my mind that McFarlane and NECA never made it happen. Those crappy "geoms" were the closest we got and I don't buy block figures.
Well, there are more block figures on the way. Props to Minimates for getting Vince's "Banana Slugs" t-shirt tampoed that small, but still...no block figures for me.
And of course by now we've all seen the retro-Kenner style ReAction figures. I'm gonna buy those for sure, cause it's a step in the right direction, but still....close but no cigar.
And finally today I read that Diamond Select announced a series of 7" figures at Toy Fair. Vince, Jules, Butch, Marcelles. No pictures were allowed, but I'm hoping we get either a spy photo or the official press photos soon!!
Seriously....my all-time action figure wish list is getting really small. After ED 209 last year, Vince and Jules were basically my last remaining white whale...and they're coming!!! How freaking cool is this????
Post photos here as soon as they are online!!
EDIT: Might have to curb my enthusiasm....the only figures shown so far were Jules, Butch and Marcelles.....no Vince!! So perhaps Travolta is still not allowing it....but why go ahead without the main character? That's just stupid!! So I remain hopeful, but it's not 100% yet.....
