Thor: Ragnarok Korg Pop from Amazon.com

Korg and Thor
Photo-A-Day #4583

Korg is arguably my favorite new character from Thor: Ragnarok. He is so unexpectedly funny. Korg is a rock creature who is also forced into fighting in the Grandmaster’s Colosseum. According to Taika Waititi, the director of the movie who also provides the voice and motion capture for Korg, Korg is the mum of the prison. He takes care of everyone there.

when I was at the Thor: Ragnarok press junket and got to interview Taika I asked him why he would want to put even more pressure upon himself by playing this character when he was already directing this dreadnought of a movie. He told me, “Ah, because I’m a self-saboteur. any chance I get to put my career at risk, I’ll just do it.” He also told us that all of Korg’s lines were adlibbed. This really speaks more to who Taika is as a creative person. He is hilarious and therefore his character of Korg is also one of the more hilarious characters in the film.

The Korg Pop figure is not something that you see on the packaging at all. The only place I’ve seen it is on Amazon.com but i have not seen him shown as an exclusive to Amazon.com anywhere. I’m hoping that if there is a Korg figure then there will also be a Skurge one. You can actually get Korga and the rest of the Thor: Ragnarok Pops through my Amazon.com affiliate links below.

Clearance Finds at GameStop and Target

LEGO On Clearance
Photo-A-Day #4470

On the way in to work today I stopped over at GameStop and there I found that they had a few FUNKO Pop figures on Clearance. They were even doing specials where you buy one POP the other was 50% off. With prices down to $5 I made a careful look through the inventory and found two that I wanted. Marvel’s Captain Marvel and from Star Wars Rogue One there was Director Orson Krennic.

They also had some POP themed pens that had Marvel characters on them for $2. I got Iron Man, Captain America and The Hulk. They now sit in my coffee cup along with my Star Wars one with Chewbacca on it.

At target there was a some clearance LEGO NEXO knights which will work well with some stop motion videos I’d like to make. The thing is, though, that they do not have holes on their feet to secure them to the ground so I will have to get creative with adding some additional pieces to the feet to keep them from moving while I make any videos.
