Today, I decided to get into something I haven’t done in ages – collecting action figures. I’ve always been a fan of the character Bloodshot, so I figured that would be a great place to start. So I jumped online to see what was out there.
First, I hit up some of the usual spots, like the big online marketplaces. I typed in “Bloodshot Action Figure” and was immediately flooded with results. Wow, there’s a lot more Bloodshot stuff out there than I thought!
I started browsing through the listings. There were tons of options, from figures based on the recent movie to ones that looked more like the comic book version. I saw a bunch from a company called McFarlane Toys, and they had one that was a pretty good likeness of Vin Diesel from the movie. That one came with a base, a machine gun, and a knight.
- Checked out some big online stores.
- Found a McFarlane Toys figure of Vin Diesel’s Bloodshot.
- Looked at some figures from a company called threezero.
Then I stumbled upon something called FigZero S series from threezero, which had a 1/12 scale Bloodshot. It said it was the first hero from something called the Valiant Universe. The detail on it looked amazing, and it mentioned that Bloodshot was some kind of “unstoppable assassin brought back from the dead and rebuilt by nanotechnology” and “near immortal.” Sounds cool!
I spent a good chunk of time just scrolling through all the different figures, comparing prices, and reading descriptions. Some of them were pretty pricey, but there were also some good deals to be found. I decided to dig a little deeper into the character’s background. Turns out, Bloodshot’s real name is Ray Garrison, and he’s based on a bestselling comic book.
After a few hours of browsing and research, I finally settled on a couple of figures that I liked. I put them in my cart and checked out. Now, the hardest part – waiting for them to arrive! I can’t wait to add them to my collection and maybe even start looking for more. This could be the start of a whole new hobby!
Final Results
Got a few cool Bloodshot action figures on the way, learned a bit about the character, and rediscovered my love for action figures. Not a bad day’s work, I’d say. Now, I’m excited for them to arrive, and I’m already thinking about which figure to hunt down next. Maybe I’ll try to find some more from this Valiant Universe.
