Figura Obscura The Ghost of Christmas Past Review

[@Apunkwithtoys]

Although I have never had an issue with any Four Horsemen hands be sure to heat these ones up when removing them as 2 broke on me.

Had the same thing happen to me with one of the Frankenstein's Creature's booted feet. You might can fix it if you are careful and use heat. I fixed the foot but it's definitely weakened and might break for real next time, BUT...had I known exactly how it was supposed to be assembled before I tried to fix it(instead of by trial and error), I'm confident it could be in a lot better shape.

Thanks for the lesson on the hands , bro . I haven’t opened mine up yet , but I will be super careful ✌🏽

[@Apunkwithtoys]

Just heat them up, I had no issues after I heated them up but never had to do that with these before.

Four Horsemen figures tend to have a twist below the knee. I wouldn't have thought to look for it if someone hadn't pointed it out.

Lawrence we weren’t meant to see the secret piece till after Christmas! Party Foul!

My first time ordering Figura Obscura...spoiled in a thumbnail the day before delivery. :(

They should tell people in the box then, just sayin

That Cosmic Legion thing is called an "Ash Can". I'm not sure why. But they are generally just raw pencil art. Typically with some blank pages to get commissioned art or signatures.

To explain the faces and the candle snuffer aka Extinguisher. In the story her features are described as flowing and reforming like warm wax. She (or he, its never clear) can have 2 or 4 limbs moment to moment. When Scrooge seeks to escape what she is showing him, he grabs the extinguisher from her and claps it over her head, putting out the light coming from her. And dumping him back in his bedroom floor. So that cone shaped candle extinguisher is actually a hat for her. Also look at the backdrop inside the box, and compare it to the one from Jacob Marley. If they are doing the Ghosts in the order they appear, Marley-> Christmas Past -> next should be Christmas Present. Which should be a big figure. Kind of looking like Hagrid from Harry Potter. In a long robe. With 2 small children's skeletons clutching onto his ankles.

Obviously Lawrence has not watched 'Scrooged' starring Bill Murray, the ghost of Christmas Past is definitely a puncher...... These Figure Obscura offerings look great. Fighting the temptation, but I probably will fail.....

Also, a closed fist hand can be used for a lot of poses and gestures that are not punches.

[@mistermustachio336]

Did the hand break? Or did the joint come apart? I think I had something similar happen to a Mcfarlane figure. I put the arm in hot water and used a paperclip to pull the wrist pin out of the arm. It was simple from there to reattach to the hand. If that's not the case, I'm sorry that it broke like that.

[@mistermustachio336]

Nevermind, I see how the ring of the joint split. Bummer.
