I dug up an old hill to die on with a new figure purchase 😅

I was born in '87, so I'm gonna guess my first introduction to the Turtles would have been the cartoon. But I LOVED the Archie comics first, of all the franchise. I only had two or three issues but I'd pore over them endlessly. And then, because life is what it is, as I got older I completely forgot that they even existed until the NECA Stump figures were released. Second I saw the Raphael it aaaaall came flooding back. I'm not mad about owning all four, but I wish they'd release a regular Archie look team for me to pose this guy with. I can honestly say, this is MY preferred look for the guy, and he'll probably only ever get one release, and I have it. And that's plenty fine by me 😎

But I will now have to pick up every Archie figure going

Anyone else spent their life plagued by 'firstnamelastname'?

Apologies for the wording used in the title, but it's how my brain shorthands the phenomenon, and has done since I was made aware of it.

Years back, an obscure kit of IMDB trivia highlighted to me that all five of the humanoid cast members have last names that are also first names:

Craig Charles

Chris Barrie

Danny John Jules (he gets two)

Robert Llewellyn

Chloe Annette

And ever since, when I see someone with a firstnamelastname, that's the word in big red flashing letter that shows up, and it almost always makes me wanna rewatch RD. So I just wondered if anyone else suffered this 🤷🏼‍♂️

Yeah, that'll do nicely for a centrepiece in the lineup 😎

Sharing in case anyone else was wondering, I mean yeah, the controls are oversized for a 1:12 figure, but the cabinet itself is sized nicely, and it IS a functioning piece with New Challengers and II Turbo installed 🤷🏼‍♂️

Product is the MyArcade Micro SF2 Cabinet

Another tiny box ticked 😎

I had more than a few Mini Mutants as a kid, unfortunately none survived to now and even if they had the weapons were always lost pretty much immediately. These guys are gonna live in a display to risk that a little less.

British two pound coin for scale, this is the Takara Japanese release (B, I think)
