Funko FNAF 13.5in Freddy Figure Review

Saw this bad boy at target's and made an impulse decision. 😎 The retail price is $32.99, but thanks to a target circle coupon I got him for $25, which ain't half bad.

So for the hell of it, here's my review of the 13.5in Freddy Fazbear doll.

Currently there are only two characters available, Freddy and Bonnie. I hope they make make a Chica and Foxy in this size as well, as it'd be cool to have the main four as a set.

Box art is pretty simple, and kinda bland, mostly recycling game images.

The inside box art is just the office from Fnaf 2, which is not the game this version of Freddy appears in. The Freddy on the front of the box is the wrong version too; I'm not sure why Funko always wants to use Fnaf 2 images on the merch. This isn't the only time they've done this.

Here's the big guy out of the box. He's pretty solid, and has a good weight to him.

His mike is his only accessory, and the hat isn't removable. It had a tough time getting him to hold the mike, as he doesn't have enough space in his paw for it. The mike itself is hollow, and I had to squish it in. You can tell it's squished too, and it bothers me.

He's technically got 14 pts of articulation, a ball joint at his neck, joints at shoulders, elbows, wrists, hips, knees, ankles, and even his jaw moves! But good luck getting him posed because those joints were SUPER stiff. It felt like, well, wrestling a bear heh.

I wasn't sure they were supposed to move at first, but I looked at another review and yes, they are.

Also, many of them don't go super far anyway. I don't mind too much as I don't expect an anamatronic to have a full range of movements, and it's enough to give him some personality when taking photos.

But they are wayyyyy too stiff. If they were a struggle for me, I imagine a kid would really be having a hard time getting him to move.

Here's a Midge for scale.

Freddy's the perfect size to fit in with the dollies, which is the main reason I wanted him. It's just so fun to combine my interests.

Speaking of combinations, here's big Fred with lil' Fred.

As you can see, it's pretty much the same sculpt, just enlarged. Looking at them together, I wish they had altered the fur texture a little for big Fred. It looks kinda off at this scale, like he has the texture of an orange instead of fleece.

Also, little Freddy has much more accurate coloring and better detailed paint. Might give big Fred a good black wash and dry brushing to match.

...But at least big Fred doesn't fall apart.

My lil' Fred is from the first wave of figures, and he is constantly falling to pieces whenever I handle him. I don't know if Funko ever fixed this issue with later figures, but I don't often handle them because of this.

So what's the verdict?

I like him a lot actually. There are a few annoyances, but this is exactly the kind of figure I really wanted at the height of my 2015-17 Fnaf phase. Plus he's super sturdy, mostly game accurate, and I bet a lot of kids will want him and Bonnie for Christmas.

Hopefully we'll get Chica and Foxy in this size too, maybe even Springtrap.

book review || A Study in Charlotte by Brittany Cavallaro

video review ||TLDR Version -- September Wrap Up || 13 books!

This was so disappointingly average. I WANTED to love this series. The idea of Holmes and Watson’s descendants coming together in an enemies-to-lovers mystery series sounds so up my alley. I bought the first book, because I was expecting to own this entire series. Sure, it’s a fun idea as far as a retelling goes, but as a mystery, it’s so underwhelming and the characters are flat copies of the original Sherlock and John.

From the beginning, I think this would have benefitted from alternating perspectives between Jamie and Charlotte. This definitely would have helped give more depth to Charlotte’s character, particularly in regard to the trauma and struggles she reveals to Jamie at the end. Though she’s still abrasive and rude, she has no charm to offset this, making it hard to connect with her, though not for the lack of trying from Jamie.

This was sold to me as enemies to lovers between Jamie and Charlotte, but they hardly know each other in the beginning. Once they do meet, it’s more just a poor first impression before pretty quickly becoming friends, and Jamie falls ass over tea kettle for her quickly after. I was so unconvinced by their romance because I couldn’t find anything particularly endearing about Charlotte. In comparison, Jamie has his moments. He’s very golden retriever meets hype-man, but with less personality than the original Watson.

What really drove me crazy with this book though, is that it’s a mystery story and there’s hardly any mystery-solving! Jamie just follows Charlotte around and dramatically gasps on cue when she unveils some brilliant deduction. Of course, every reveal is shocking! Because we aren’t told anything regarding motive and hardly anything useful in regards to where evidence fits in. It just made for a really boring mystery book. I was 250 pages before this finally started to feel like something resembling a mystery.

Finally, the handling of rape and drug use felt sooooo poorly handled, almost completely as plot devices, trivializing some serious issues.

2 / 5 stars

💀 Uncle Montague’s Tales of Terror by Chris Priestley 💀

Synopsis:

Uncle Montague lives alone in a big house, but regular visits from his nephew, Edgar, give him the opportunity to recount some frightening stories he knows. As each tale unfolds, an eerie pattern emerges of young lives gone awry in the most terrifying of ways. And young Edgar begins to wonder just how Uncle Montague knows all these ghastly tales ...

Review:

4/5 stars.

Our young friend Edgar embarks on a trip to his Uncle Montague’s mansion to hear the old fellow tell some horrifying (definitely not real???) tales of terror. This collection of Uncle Montague’s tales are actually pretty scary if my younger self would read them (and still find them creepy). These were well-written and extremely atmospheric, with illustrations that were equally as creepy as their stories. I’ve now read this book twice and still was excited to begin a new story every time.

Perfect if you want to read some short horror stories for Spooktober. A quick read, but nevertheless terrifying. 👻
