Posted on December 12, 2014 by geelw

So, Funko is back to a double giveaway week and let’s see now… it’s an all-Marvel freebie festival this time. Well, okay, it’s only two figures, but you know you want them and would have a little festival if you did indeed win. Or one, actually. Anyway, here’s what’s up for grabs this Friday: You can walk away with #1 of 1500 of this Classic Deadpool Premium Hikari Sofubi Figure:

Or #1 of 1000 of this Entertainment Earth exclusive: Planet X Groot Premium Hikari Sofubi Figure:

As usual, entering is simple, as is winning should your entry be chosen. Just hit one of Funko’s social sites:

Facebook!
Twitter!
Instagram!

Follow the instructions and that’s that. Winners are contacted the following Thursday, so patience is a virtue. If you don’t win and still want, you can buy Deadpool starting in March 2015 at a Funko retailer near you while Entertainment Earth will be shipping out Groot in January. As always, good luck and have a great weekend!

OK, OK, fan favorite or not and guaranteed big, BIG deal to those who know despite the “M’ rating, the kids who want this WILL be playing it, I still don’t get this fascination with Deadpool. I guess he’s so unconventionally non-PC a comic book antihero (basically he’s the insane adult cartoon version of Beavis and Butthead and Bart Simpson with access to all sorts of weaponry) that his antics are immediately appealing to that crowd, but maybe I’m getting old or something. Anyway, if the game is good, I’ll give it a try. I’m not expecting much at all, but that’s actually the best way to go into ANY game, I say. It’s best to end up always surprised by something as it helps keep the jade eye somewhat more closed.

Deadpool? Really? OK, But It BETTER Be Good (Yeah, NSFW)

Hey, I know I’m going to get grief for this, but I already played two No More Heroes games, MadWorld, GOD HAND, Red Steel 2 and Duke Nukem Forever. Sure, Marvel’s HUGELY popular cussin’ shootin’, stabbin; fan favorite has been around for ages, but I don’t think he can hold up an entire game on his own without the project being an exercise in brain-numbing overkill after about… oh, the third or fourth stage. Now, I don’t mind brain-numbing overkill (hell, I played the new Splatterhouse and both SAW games in the same week), but here’s a case where there better be a damn good story to back up all the jokes and gore. Meh, who am I kidding? I’d bet some of the same people that will run out and buy this are some of the same people that probably don’t “get” a Suda 51 game because they try to take it too seriously. As always, we shall see.

But yeah, this one better be a keeper or I’m calling up Lobo and telling someone is stealing his schtick…
