mezco's notorious b.i.g. figure review

thanks to generous toy-images from my blog-reader, Eric Daye (cheers dude!) - i now regret not pickingup this MEZCO 9"-er articulated Notorious B.I.G. figure when it was on sale locally (it got pickedup by a fellow 1/6th-collector/fren who "thought" he was Kingpin, ala the Daredevil-movie *ggrrr*)

images and blog-excepts with permission from EDaye:

"This B.I.G. figure is the MezcoDirect exclusive and comes dressed in black corduroy pants, red turtleneck sweater, white leather (leather-like) jacket, white (Kangol-type) hat and matching white/grey shoes (Timbs). The clothing is well made and the body is very articulated. His accessories include shades, a mic, Jesus head pendant, and a sweet cane with the Brooklyn Mint logo on it."

The top half of the torso can move in 4 directions allowing for forward/back/side-to-side positioning. The head also has this same capability. There is a lot of movement at the shoulders and the wrists and feet have good but limited articulation. The Jesus pendant is crazy (although the head is made from molded plastic) and this time I included the shades in the shots. He looks like he could wrestle anybody from the WWE. Who knew Biggie was so diesel?
