Friday Double feature

Oddball Figure Friday.
Today's oddball is less odd and more awesome and overlooked .

 This is Black Hole Professor Darkness from the short lived  Planet Heroes toy line.As a whole the toy line is pretty neat with interesting character designs and larg solid made figures. I might be showing more of this line in the future.

Five buck film Friday
Todays Walmart five dollar bin movie is The man who wasn't there .

This movie has 3 things that made me like it
1. Billy Bob Thornton.I really enjoy his movies most of the time and this one is no exception,
2. Its modern noir .This movie does an excellent job emulating the classic noir  films of the past like  The Maltese Falcon
3 Scarlett Johansson .No real reason to explain this one.
 Some people might be put off by the movie being black and white but I feel it really added to the unnerving feel of the movie.I have no problems with this movie what so ever and found it very enjoyable.

                          I give this movie a score of  5 out of 5 Mogs

    1. I like him a lot , he reminds me of mysterio. There is another figure in that line that has a bubble head.It wasnt to long ago that these guys where in the clear section so he shouldn't be to hard to get.Im pretty sure you can snag him on ebay without being sniped at the very end.

    1. Ha! I know you and your sniper problems lol I just looked and saw a loose one for 15.00 and a mint in pack for 30.00 but I didnt look to hard so Im sure you can get him.Dont feel bad , when I see something I want I become obsessed with it until its in my hands. I have been dreaming about those blasted new ninja turtles that I cant find.

  5. For some reason I thought that Planet Heroes toy was from Toy Story. But what a cool toyline. I don't think I had ever heard of it.

    And there is nothing wrong with black and white movies! I will be on the look out for that one in the bins at Walmart!

    1. He resemble Zurg from toy story ,I thought the same thing when I saw the other version of him without the round helmet.
      Im not sure if its still around in the bins because Iv had it over a year now and haven't seen it recently but the bins are different all across the country from what I understand.
