BLUNTMAN & CHRONIC FIGURES: EXCLUSIVE NEWS ASKEW FIRST LOOK REVIEW
Graphitti Designs were kind enough to provide News Askew an with an exclusive early hands-on look at a set of their highly-anticipated Bluntman & Chronic action figures. We ripped open their boxes and put them to the test to give you an in-depth look at this dynamic duo for the new millennium.
First of all, of course, Bluntman & Chronic come sealed, each in their own packages, looking like so:




Sorry for the bad quality of some of these photos, it’s going to take some practice with this digital camera before the pictures actually look decent. You can at least get an idea from the blurs and the glare. Before we realized the pics sucked, we already had them ripped open and it was too late.
Anyway, as you can see, a ton of accessories come with these guys, probably the coolest of which being Suzanne the ape, who comes with the Chronic figure. Great stuff. If you set her up correctly, you can have her hand in hand with Bluntman & Chronic. Chronic also comes with a banana and poop of some kind.
Bluntman seems quite a bit more sturdy than Chronic, and rightfully so! He’s got a lot more weight to him (no offense, Kevin) and a way cool coat. There’s also 3 throwing star style pot leaves, for easy dispatching of any foes, as well as his trusty Bong Saber, which makes him look “pretty bad ass” when wielding.
Both figures have interchangable hands, so they don’t look stupid if you don’t want them to hold anything. If ya do, the alternate hands are styled to easily grasp a light saber, pot leaf, banana, or even Suzanne’s hand.
Articulation is outstanding with these guys. They stand up quite well, and their moving arms, legs, and heads allow you to strike them in some pretty cool poses. The hair is also quite well done and the faces show a lot of character and detail (though the look on Chronic’s face would probably scare a small child – It even gave me a fright). Check out some of the stuff we were able to do with the duo in the photos here. Of course, the possibilities are endless.
As always, these figures were crafted with care, and are of top quality, as Graphitti Designs is known for. Whether you keep them in their packages, take them out and pose them somewhere on a shelf, or take them on adventures (maybe even make some mini-movies), they are sure to bring you years of joy. Like the Jay & Bob toys before them, these are sturdy, well made toys that any View Askew fan would be proud to own. All we can say now is…Bring on those Clerks figures!
Bluntman & Chronic will soon (if not already) be available at comic stores and fine toy shops everywhere. You can also order your own set from Jay & Silent Bob’s Secret Stash.
