Editorial Review

Presumably, McFarlane Toys designed this figure by combining an action figure of Jeff Goldblum and an action figure of a housefly in some sort of teleporter accident. How else do you get this kind of detail? The McFarlane crew got down the grotesque Cronenbergian transformation of Dr. Seth Brundle perfectly, with ocher folds of skin, wisps of hair, feelers, and those sad, bulbous eyes. The 7-inch figure offers much more articulation than most pieces in the Movie Maniacs line, with joints at the shoulders, neck, hips, and wrists. The Brundle Fly even comes with a rubbery swatch of goo slimed onto its back. The figure comes with a Movie Maniacs stand and mini movie poster. --Paul Hughes

I am a big fan of Cronenberg's version of "The Fly", so was very happy when it was announced that the Fly was going to be in the next line of Movie Maniacs.

As always, the detail is excellent. I especially love the hairs that stick out all over his body! Nice touch there. Unlike other McFarlane figures, this one has quite a bit of maneuverability(articulation is in head, both shoulders, elbows, wrists, and hips).

You couldn't really have had any accessories for this figure- the only thing that I can think of, is part of the pod, which would have been quite nice- so the base is a cool addition.

They just keep getting better and better

This review is from: Movie Maniacs Brundle Fly Action Figure (Toy)

I pretty much have all of the Movie Maniac figures to date, but none of them have given me as much trouble as the Fly has. True enough, he comes with a board and holes in his feet to peg him onto it, though this isn't done without some difficulty. This toy cannot and will not stand by itself. It's not uncommon for a McFarlane figure to take a nosedive from my shelf every now and then, but this one is the exception as it does so frequently. Despite all this, it's still grotesque and neat to look at and is also a very important addition to my collection.

If you read my review for Kong you know I am a collector.I loved the Fly (both versoins.)This toy is very feelable all the fly hair is life like.The only bad things are no telepod prop and those hairs are fragile.BUY IT but dont play rough if playing at all.
