Recommended music: Queen – Marriage Of Dale And Ming
For this #WhateverWednesday post from the archives, we’re flashing back to 1980 with the NECA Toys Flash Gordon!
NECA finally did it! For years, they released Flash Gordon figures based on comics, cartoons, and even knock-off film versions. They eventually got the full rights for the film and multiple actor likenesses. This includes Flash himself, Sam J. Jones!
This “Ultimate” version of Flash (Final Battle) sports 28 points of articulation, his outfit from the battles near the end of the film, two alternate sets of hands and heads, and three weapons. He’s poseable enough that the sword can actually be held with two hands, ready for Flash to take on Ming the Merciless once he hops down from the rocket wreckage. The paint job is great, even down to Flash’s body hair. Aaa-aaah! 😄
“The game’s lost, Ming. Stop your attack on Earth, and I’ll spare your life.”
