Hello and welcome to the advent of the weekend. That’s right, it’s Flashback Friday. Let’s get to it. As always, click on a picture to see it enlarged.
Tri-Klops was another of my favorite villain figures even though there was no special action features. Being able to switch between three special-powered eyes was enough. He was one of the more clever villains as well, compared to Beast Man and Mer-Man who were kinda slow-witted. The green and orange scheme worked well together in my mind.
Here’s Red Rich as Tri-Klops. We have the red eye, the blue eye and the green eye. Wow, those colours are Rich’s colours. Talk about a coincidence!
Here’s the comparison to the original piece. We’ve got him looking in the opposite direction. The limbs make the biggest difference I’d say.
That’s all for this week. Have a great weekend and see you all next week for more fun!

Hey hey! It’s Wednesday and time for a mash-up. Let’s go!
Mega Man was one of my favorite video game franchises on the NES. The first game in the series was tough. It took a while before I was able to play through it. I remember playing through at least four sequels that were all much easier. We were able to play through each of them in one rental (one weekend). I didn’t play any of the Mega Man X games on the Super Nintendo, mainly because I didn’t have one, but also because the esthetic changed and I didn’t really like the new look. Many years later, a new Mega Man game came out on the Playstation Network that reproduced the old 8-Bit style. It was harder than the original. I wasn’t able to complete a single level.
Here’s Red Blue Rich as Mega Man. Not much to say about this piece other than there’s a lot of blue in it. I considered doing different colour schemes to represent the various power-ups Mega Man gets from defeating the various Wily Robots, but didn’t think it added much for all the work it involved so I just stuck to the classic colour scheme.
That’s all for this week. Which video game franchise will appear next Wednesday? Come back next week to find out!
