ThreeA
Adventure Kartel
Action Portable
Cold Merde
by Ashley Wood/ThreeA
Ol' Cold Merde here is the Father of Bleak Mission and the grandfather of mopey Tommy Mission. Yup, he's a grandpa! A pretty bad ass grandpa. He's literally covered in guns! The attention to detail in the Action Portable line is simply amazing. This grumpy dude's outfit is replete with tiny zippers, a fur collar, buttons and about a zillion holsters for his massive personal arsenal. The clothing is weathered and lived-in looking. The massive parka limits the articulation a bit, but it's well worth the overall aesthetic. Don't even try to take his coat off if you don't have about 4 extra hours and a pair of pliers to try to put it back on. Trust me, it's a bitch.
"Oooh. Guns, guns, guns."

It's great that ThreeA occasionally offers a retail assortment of their wonderful figures so average dopes like me can get their hands on one from time to time. I've also noticed that recent waves have not stunk as bad and require no outgassing. I once had an Acolyte Zomb that totally reeked and had to sit out in the sun for a few days before I could play with it. ThreeA does a great job with both scales (1/6 & 1/12) and the joints are generally tight and the figures are pretty sturdy. The 12th scale figures kind of have standing issues due to the lack of ankle joints, but you can still pose them pretty well. The only real complaint I have is that as an adult with adult sized hands, the accessories are so damn tiny I'm constantly losing them and looking for them in the carpeting with a flashlight!
