    Dollar Store Find: Space Police Wolverine.

    So found two of these guys for a buck fitty apiece at a random dollar store. The body is clearly an 8" Power Ranger.



    Swivel biceps and thighs, hinged fingers. The whole deal. But painted like wolverine.



    I liked the packaging:





    The thing that makes it Mego like for me is the crappy flesh paint job on the Woverine Pez Head it's got. It's really reminiscent of the Batman head to me.

    Is the head hard or squishy?

          Didn't Toyfare have these in their mag a few years back? I remember seeing a Cyclops figure in it.

            Rock hard, unfortunately. pez head is a pretty good descriptor for it.

              Ha! No plans at the moment. There are better Wolvie heads out there. I have this weird fetish for 8" figures, mego or otherwise, so I bought this just to have a new flavor.

                The deuce you say! There are other figures in the line? I assumed it was a cheapo one and done run.

                I will make it my life's mission to find others, then.

                do you remember if the cyke head was as crappy?

                  It wasn't a chain one - just a local one in San Jose. Can't remember the street - if I find it again I'll repost. Somewhere south of Bascom and 280 on a cross street. I was turning around in the strip mall parking lot and spotted the store.

                      Me too. I always check out the toy isle in my local dollar stores hoping to find 8" figs for customs but never find any.

                        Yes it was. Looks like he's screaming from having too much fiber.

                          I love knockoffs, the crappier looking the better.

                            Sounds like the head was a recast of the Famous Covers Cyke.

                              Found the issue. It's from December of 2000. Cyclops is on the Blue Power Ranger's body. You can tell they were trying to make it look like his X-Men uniform but it looks more like he's with S.H.I.E.L.D. And the quote Toyfare has with the picture is of course classic. "Screw eye-beams,I've got a sword!"
