But it turns out that's not right - the ratios are all over the place, from the 1:6 Max and Furiosa to <a href=\"\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/funko_mmfrmm1_cdw2.jpg\">the 1:72 Doof Warrior<\/a>. So thanks for that, Funko; you already made your toys a headache by doing away with the case layouts, and now we can't even trust the published numbers. Why, if we didn't know better, we'd think you wanted these blind-boxed toys to be unpredictable before we opened them!<\/p>\n<p>Nux is the white-skinned War Boy who starts the movie tethered to Max, and there are two versions of him in this series: the one in this review, which is apparently <b>actually<\/b> 1:12, and a version that seems to be 1:24, and is <a href=\"\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/funko_mmfrmm1_nux2.jpg\">a lot more naked<\/a>. But ratios be damned, this is the cooler design.<\/p>\n<p>This Nux is wearing the clothes he scavenged from Max, particularly that iconic leather jacket with the armored padding on the right shoulder. Since it's unzipped, <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/funko_mmfrmm1_nux3.jpg\" title=\"that's Joe's face\" width=\"160\" height=\"240\" align=left style=\"margin:0px 10px 0px 0px\">you can see the sculpted scarification his chest: a stylized representation of an engine block. The War Boys belong to the Cult of the V8, because they understand how to fix machines, but not how to fix their bodies; so they mark themselves with mechanical symbols in hopes of being more permanent than they are. He's wearing goggles pushed up on his head, has a manacle on his right forearm, and is carrying a steering wheel. There are scars on his cheeks, and dark circles around his eyes and on his nose to make him look skeletal. The mouth is kind of a weird smile - if I were inclined to use a phrase coined (as an insult) by <a href=\"\/blog\/?p=4959\">a noted child rapist<\/a>, I'd call it \"CalArts style.\" But it works pretty well here, sort of a \"what if <i>Mad Max<\/i> crossed over with <i>Gravity Falls<\/i>\" look. And on the other one, the chrome makes Nux look like he has a Homer Simpson muzzle.<\/p>\n<p><center><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"425\" height=\"239\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/NAxFjVCkpRY?rel=0\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/center><\/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=\"DC Bombshells Mystery Minis - Green Lantern exclusive review\" href=\"https:\/\/www.oafe.net\/blog\/2021\/06\/dc-bombshells-mystery-minis-green-lantern-exclusive-review\/\" rel=\"bookmark\">DC Bombshells Mystery Minis - Green Lantern exclusive review<\/a><\/li>\n<li class=\"SPOSTARBUST-Related-Post\"><a title=\"Walking Dead Mystery Minis: Sophia Peletier review\" href=\"https:\/\/www.oafe.net\/blog\/2018\/10\/walking-dead-mystery-minis-sophia-peletier-review\/\" rel=\"bookmark\">Walking Dead Mystery Minis: Sophia Peletier review<\/a><\/li>\n<li class=\"SPOSTARBUST-Related-Post\"><a title=\"How many Koroks are there?\" href=\"https:\/\/www.oafe.net\/blog\/2024\/06\/how-many-koroks-are-there\/\" rel=\"bookmark\">How many Koroks are there?<\/a><\/li>\n<li class=\"SPOSTARBUST-Related-Post\"><a title=\"Universal Monsters Mystery Minis - black and white Wolf Man exclusive review\" href=\"https:\/\/www.oafe.net\/blog\/2019\/10\/universal-monsters-mystery-minis-black-and-white-wolf-man-exclusive-review\/\" rel=\"bookmark\">Universal Monsters Mystery Minis - black and white Wolf Man exclusive review<\/a><\/li>\n<li class=\"SPOSTARBUST-Related-Post\"><a title=\"Walking Dead Mystery Minis: Lori Grimes review\" href=\"https:\/\/www.oafe.net\/blog\/2018\/10\/walking-dead-mystery-minis-lori-grimes-review\/\" rel=\"bookmark\">Walking Dead Mystery Minis: Lori Grimes review<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&lt;i&gt;And now, some more OAFEry:&lt;\/i&gt;A tour of Toys R Us in 1991 Frozen Mystery Minis - Marshmallow review Walking Dead Mystery Minis: One-Eyed Zombie review Retro Videogame Mystery Minis - Dig Dug reviews Soon Forget: Savage World Mad Max<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[19,250,42],"tags":[370,206,291,305],"class_list":["post-26478","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-blog-exclusive-review","category-funko","category-videos","tag-mad-max","tag-mario","tag-mystery-minis","tag-nintendo"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.oafe.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/26478","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.oafe.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.oafe.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.oafe.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.oafe.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=26478"}],"version-history":[{"count":7,"href":"https:\/\/www.oafe.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/26478\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":47148,"href":"https:\/\/www.oafe.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/26478\/revisions\/47148"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.oafe.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=26478"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.oafe.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=26478"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.oafe.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=26478"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
