I know we’re running a tad late with this gallery. All the “fun” of life can get in the way of shooting. But I was finally able to put some solid time aside to bring a gallery of figures I have really been looking forward to. Check out my photo shoot of the Bif Bang Pow! Flash Gordon 3.75″ Series 1 Action Figures. The figures are based on the cult classic 1980 film, which saw football hero Flash Gordon transported to the Planet Mongo. There he teamed up with and unite scattered heroes to battle the evil Emperor Ming The Merciless. The figures are Entertainment Earth Exclusives and are available now.

Entertainment Earth sent along Series 1 for us to review. We have a full high resolution gallery after the jump. Read on to see the images as well as read my thoughts on the figures.
