The Wolf Man is not immune, no doubt in part due to the fact black-and-white movies screw with perceptions. This figure has a nice 1980s feel with a glossy shirt and appropriately old-school articulation, plus white teeth and faux Kenner eyes. It's good. Get one.
Also weird, the legs are sort of squared-off near the top - not a dealbreaker, just interesting - but what's really strange is that there are rear pockets that are right over the joint seams. So if you rotate the leg, the pocket splits. I don't recall seeing this much, but truth be told the rear pockets on pants are rarely sculpted. This might just be a case of Funko giving the figure too much detail. The deco is in line with modern releases, as Remco's 1980s output tended to have a bright tan face, while this one has dark brown paint instead. Burger King's was similarly retro. His shirt is green and his pants are very dark, and all of this is consistent with modern incarnations of the figure.
When I first saw the ReAction monster renderings, this was the one that probably smacked me up the head the hardest. It felt a lot like an early 1980s toy, and I like how it's pretty sturdy and stands up fairly well. It's a nifty take on the character, but between Remco and Burger King we've had plenty of vintage takes on this figure. This one, though, may have the neatest packaging - just be careful to not hold it too tightly, the printing is oddly tacky and feels like it might come off on your fingers like newsprint. The figure itself is fine - if you like what you see, this is one you would be wise to add to your toy box.
