phosfate: Ouroboros painting closeup (frankblack)
[personal profile] phosfate
Frank Black looked terrifyingly walleyed in his box -- if you happen to see one at retail or at a convention, this may put you off buying him when otherwise you would. But once you get him out of there and on his feet, he's spiffier'n a Swiss army knife.

The version I got comes with a couple of pistols, a pager, a cell phone, a flashlight ("Cath, I can't find the fusebox!"), a Bible, and a Millennium Group file folder with crime scene photos (disappointingly non-grisly, considering what he usually has to deal with) inside.

Sideshow's eye paint treatment is a little odd. I may add a cast shadow under the eyelid and a contour on the eyeball. Or I may not.

I keep seeing "Frank Black" and think you mean the guy from the Pixies aka Black Francis. LOL This is what I get for not watching Millenium.

Yes, the Pixies is a band. "This monkey's gone to heaven", "Cactus", "Here comes your man" etc. Big in the late 80s, broke up, just reformed again. Bowie's a huge fan (and has covered them). Frank Black's the lead singer/guitarist. Kim Deal who was also in the Breeders is their bass player.

i'm glad it wasn't just me thinking of that Frank Black... I was a bit "wait, there are Pixies action figures now? O.o" heh.

That would be cool though, wouldn't it?

GodDAMN, that's cool! I was just about to ask if the doll looked like Lance Henrickson (sp?) when I saw your link. WOW!

And, speaking of Lance Henrickson, seeing him was the only vaguely cool thing about the pedestrian and utterly disappointing Alien vs. Predator movie, which I watched last weekend with nephews for a lark (and because, having seen no sf-type reviews of it, thought it might be kinda cool in a mindless sort of way). Talk about lackluster. It wasn't good (or even mediocre) science fiction, it wasn't scary (let me interject here that I am easily scared), it was just *blah*.

I'd only seen the first Predator movieon TV one afternoon, and it was okay as mindless entertainment. But once I got more info on the background of the species from my nephews (during the Avs.P movie), it just sounded moronic.

Like Klingons, only worse.

But, hey, that Frank Black doll is DA BOMB! I'm having serious dolly envy, here.

I gotta fix him up with Barbie as Scully. God knows Mulder turned out to be a total dick. She deserves better.
