Well, I got a Suncoast giftcard for christmas, and since I rarely drop by the only Suncoast in Manhattan(Manhattan Mall) I was delighted to see this there:  NECA's DEATH ROW MARV! Now, I am not gonna do a formatted review as I have done in the past, because I am too lazy, but have provided some VIDEO of the figure in action that will be posted at the end of the review. Price: 24.99+ Tax(used a gift card though, so it cost me about 2.08 after tax) Purchased from: Suncoast Packaging: Window Box Accessories: 4 interchangable heads Features: Light up head, and real movie dialogue("Get a move on, I don't have all night.", "Is that the best you can do, you pansies?"     Death Row Marv depicts Mickey Rourke's character "Marv" during the death row scene at the end of "The Hard Goodbye" segment of Sin City. He features absolutely no articulation, he is essentially a statue in an electric chair. Despite the lack of articulation, out of all of the Sin City figures I own, this one is probably my favorite. It is grisly, gruesome, and just cool to look at. Marv comes with four different heads: Regular  Burnt  Transparent  Skull  The light effect only works with the skull and transparent heads. I really enjoy this piece, and think any other Sin City fan would as well. If you only want to own one Sin City toy... this is the one to own. It stands well alone, or with the rest of the set, and is available at a pretty reasonable price. Click the link below to download a video of Marv getting fried. (I apologize for the lighting, I wanted you to be able to see the skull lighting up, so had my lights dimmed) s37.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=0PY5CJLDDE8C52Y6OQC18YCP9M |

Holy shit! I didn't even know this was out already, man.
The figure looks fantastic. I'm definitely going to pick this bad boy up...may have to give in and order it online, though.

Damn, no idea this was out yet. I lost interest in Sin City series 2 after getting the Kevin Exclusive, but I still want to pick this up.

Looks neat. I still remember the original Death Row Marv McFarlane made, and how parents groups got their panties in a twist over it.

They have a ****load of figures there, but they're mostly entertainment figures i.e. TV, Movies and Music and they might have this or could easily order it in. Edit: Just watched the video, couldn't earlier because I was at work, and that is  ing awesome. |

Dude, how much of your income do you spend on figs a month? You seem to have a new review every day and sometimes full sets, lol, love your display though.
That Marv is amazing and even if you aint a Sin City fan or figure collecter, this thing will still look good in your room on display!

I'm sure the skull is neat, but why is it there? He wasn't burned to the point of a charred skull by the chair. (I'm not even sure if that's possible.) That's just strange.

I broke down and ordered this today from eBay...officially using the last of my X-Mas money, after ordering a Damon road jersey yesterday.
I got it for $28 shipped, though, which I don't think is too bad.

Plus, it saves me the hassle of having to drive all over to each mall searching for it, when they more than likely don't even have it yet. |
