Freaky Sunday - OctaBrain

Octabrain, he is an octupus like, three eyed monster with great mental power to annihilate Duke Nukem. A very detailed and monstrous freak from the toy line back in 1997, I would say he is still very up to standard until today and still possess the 90's toy feature of minimum playability. It actually came with a oozing liquied which by the time I had it, it has dried up and useless.

The setback is the big brain which can be slotted back and open in halves. The molded brain looks cool with transparency but the outline is cheaply done with fading markers.

The tentacles are well-sculpted and flexible but unable to set poses as it does not have any wires inbuilt. 

He is supposed to be floating around hunting for Duke and as a toy, they gave him a base stand.

As a 90's toy, he does smell bad for the rubbery plastics used and similar quality used in the Mcfarlane toys back then. Produced by Resaurus which is no longer in business, I am pleased to have him for a toy but kind of scary for a kid and where should I placed him?







 Is this the business of Ghostbusters?

What's the Catch? : DUKE NUKEM




DUKE NUKEM......I don't play the game, I don't even know this guy. Weird ???!!!

Now I got his action figures. What nonsense is this? You may ask.

And I will say, that is toy collecting.

Upon googling, I came to know he is a popular game character back in 1990's til recent Neca new make of Duke Nukem Forever figure. I even found out that the game is full of Aliens, muscle and babes....

Duke is total combo of Arnold, Rambo and City hunter play. All in one hero.

Why I get them. Cheap and detail figures. I mean real cheap for a carded figure although card condition is bad. To me, this is an opened toy.

I actually like the Octabrain which is very cool and detail. Pig cop is another cool pig to have too.

Duke is a regular action figure to me.

But toys like these are hard to come by and has to be preserved. It is a no competition collection and so is the price.

Made in 1997 and by Resaurus ( the company that made my street fighters collection).

I am missing the Battle lord which destiny may bring it up to me. Time being is to tear it up and release the beast!!!

Hmm...wonder if they are considering to produce the figure in the last portrait.

Fully accessorized

Comes with a stand to simulate floating action
