All these parental policemen kind of run together.<\/p>\n<p>Officer Beardface, here, comes to us from <i>Stranger Things<\/i>, which I still haven't seen and still don't have any immediate plans to. It's on the Netflix list, but so are a bunch of other more interesting things. He's the <s>sheriff of Forks, Washington<\/s> chief of police in Hawkins, Indiana, where apparently the uniform is as khaki as the day is long. His pants and shirt are both the same color, separated by a dark brown belt with a gun sculpted in the holster on the hip. His shoes are the same dark brown, with black soles. He tops the ensemble off with a desaturated brown hat, nearly the same shade as his face-sweater, meaning he can hang out with <a href=\"http:\/\/www.oafe.net\/blog\/?p=16964\">Rick<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.oafe.net\/blog\/?p=16966\">Carl<\/a> and they can all protect themselves from the sun.<\/p>\n<p>Deputy Dadbod's actual name is Jim Hopper, and he's <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.oafe.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/funko_stmm1_jh2.jpg\" title=\"a damn fine cup of-- crap, wrong show!\" width=\"295\" height=\"295\" align=left style=\"margin:7px 15px 0px 0px\">played by David Harbour, aka \"Elliott Hirsch in <i>The Newsroom<\/i>.\" He's also the next guy to play Hellboy. The <i>Stranger Things Mystery Minis<\/i> have sort of a <i>School House Rock<\/i> aesthetic to them, befitting the show's setting and love for the '80s. So there's not really a likeness to speak of, allowing the day to be carried by the costume and beard. Because he's a cop, the figure shows him holding his coffee cup and a doughnut, neither of which do anything to up the colorfulness of the toy - it's all pale earthtones everywhere. You might have expected them to paint the interior of his mug brown, but nope, it's empty. Or he's drinking milk.<\/p>\n<p>The <i>Stranger Things Mystery Minis<\/i> don't have a specific layout, but if you want this 1:72 figure, the fact that he's an adult in a line full of mostly children should at least give you a fighting chance of finding him just by shaking the boxes.<\/p>\n<div class=\"SPOSTARBUST-Related-Posts\"><H5>&lt;i&gt;And now, some more OAFEry:&lt;\/i&gt;<\/H5><ul class=\"entry-meta\"><li class=\"SPOSTARBUST-Related-Post\"><a title=\"Walking Dead Mystery Minis: Jessie and Sam Anderson (In Memorium) reviews\" href=\"http:\/\/www.oafe.net\/blog\/2017\/10\/walking-dead-mystery-minis-jessie-and-sam-anderson-in-memorium-reviews\/\" rel=\"bookmark\">Walking Dead Mystery Minis: Jessie and Sam Anderson (In Memorium) reviews<\/a><\/li>\n<li class=\"SPOSTARBUST-Related-Post\"><a title=\"Horizon Zero Dawn Mystery Minis - Corruptor review\" href=\"http:\/\/www.oafe.net\/blog\/2020\/07\/horizon-zero-dawn-mystery-minis-corruptor-review\/\" rel=\"bookmark\">Horizon Zero Dawn Mystery Minis - Corruptor review<\/a><\/li>\n<li class=\"SPOSTARBUST-Related-Post\"><a title=\"Horror Classics Mystery Minis - Hannibal Lecter\" href=\"http:\/\/www.oafe.net\/blog\/2014\/10\/horror-classics-mystery-minis-hannibal-lecter\/\" rel=\"bookmark\">Horror Classics Mystery Minis - Hannibal Lecter<\/a><\/li>\n<li class=\"SPOSTARBUST-Related-Post\"><a title=\"Mad Max: Fury Road Mystery Minis - Nux review\" href=\"http:\/\/www.oafe.net\/blog\/2018\/06\/mad-max-fury-road-mystery-minis-nux-review\/\" rel=\"bookmark\">Mad Max: Fury Road Mystery Minis - Nux review<\/a><\/li>\n<li class=\"SPOSTARBUST-Related-Post\"><a title=\"DC Bombshells Mystery Minis - Poison Ivy review\" href=\"http:\/\/www.oafe.net\/blog\/2020\/08\/dc-bombshells-mystery-minis-poison-ivy-review\/\" rel=\"bookmark\">DC Bombshells Mystery Minis - Poison Ivy review<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&lt;i&gt;And now, some more OAFEry:&lt;\/i&gt;DC Bombshells Mystery Minis - Katana review Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer 60th Anniversary Mystery Minis - Yukon Cornelius exclusive review Ermahgerd!
