Day 5: X-Cop


X-Cop was one bad mofo.

Part of my favorite set of ghosts, the Haunted Humans series, X-Cop appeared to be your typical New York City Police Officer, but you can't judge a book by looking at it's cover.

Trust me, you can't. I though Moby Dick might have been some kind of awesome urban porno.

Shit was about a whale.



As with the rest of the Haunted Humans, a normal looking, everyday blue collar worker has totally lost his shit and become possessed and is ready to unleash hell on New York.

Actually, kind of sounds like most of the homeless people there, huh?



To achieve the, ":I have lost my shit and want to kill you" effect, one simply lifts X-Cop's helmet up to reveal a ghastly skeleton underneath, as well as long, bony arms and legs that extend out.

This really is one of the best figures in the Haunted Humans line.

This line is totally something that Kenner did right all the way around.

 A lot of thought, time and effort was really put into it to ensure that it was worthwhile.

I like to think X-Cop simply was a shooting victim while on duty who decided to come back from the other side to find his killer and terrorize the shit out of him.

Makes sense.

Bonus for X-Cop is that he makes a very convincing substitute for the T-1000. Now you're going to try that huh?

No?

Oh well, I at least tried to be fun.

  1. X-Cop was an awesome figure. I remember he was real hard for me to find and was the last of the haunted humans i got to complete the set. I found him at a drug store back in the day and begged my mom to get him for me luckily she did :D . On another note were any of the haunted humans on the cartoon? Really enjoying these reviews bro keep up the good work.
