Viking action figures (such as the recent Spawn: the Viking Age<\/a> line) have always had a special place in my heart. In school I was more or less a medievalist, and wrote my thesis on Beowulf<\/a><\/em>. So I've been looking forward to Radioactive Clown's Rune<\/a><\/em> figures for some time. Based on the computer game of the same name (which I've played through three times), the line has been delayed for nearly a year.<\/p>\n

According to an article<\/a> on Figures.com, the figures will be out in early 2003. Whether this will actually occur or not remains to be seen - as yo go re recently pointed out, Radioactive Clown has yet to release a single action figure (though much to-do has been made recently of their upcoming Unreal<\/a><\/em> figures, which are due by the end of this year). The Rune<\/em> line will contain hero Ragnar, villain Conrack (sort of a medieval Jesse Ventura) and Valkyrie. Of the three figures, it's Ragnar<\/a> I'm most excited about, primarily because he's just a great looking generic Viking - no shoulder pads or loincloths like the Viking Spawn figures, just a Viking with a shield, a sword, an axe and a severed head. Yes, he has a horned helmet, but I'm willing to overlook that - I don't deny that he's still a fanciful vision of a Viking, but he's the most faithful Viking figure I've seen yet (other than those 12\" Marx figures, of course).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
