I was reorganizing my shelves in my office last night and debated shifting the two cops I have into "non active duty" but literally thought "new Daredevil show is coming up soon and we have a Mexican bounty hunter Joe character coming out, I'm going to need some villains for photos again soon" and left them out of storage.
I've been playing clearance chicken with these cops at my Target for this very purpose. I want a bunch of them to put into various displays. I need some to be taken hostage by Joker & Harley, a few to get their asses handed to them by Daredevil, and at least a couple to be ICE dudebros getting beat to hell by a cool Mexican cowboy.
It's gotta be weird to be in the Hasbro offices knowing they've sold a SHIT TON of these but in almost all cases they are either villains or victims. "Okay so they're selling well, but people keep posing them getting the shit kicked out of them by Punisher..."
Yeah, they fit in more like the anti-vigilante task for guys from Daredevil. Ice would be like if you took all the spare parts from the Joes and then put them on figures that can't buckle the flak vest.
I swear to god if some third-party company made these figures and like, donated the profits to immigrant defense funds I'd buy them all. Host a contest for action figure photography enthusiasts to set them up being defeated by their favorite heroes.
