PiercingMetal Thoughts: When I shared the press release about the Cyberpunk 2077 action figures (seen HERE in case you missed it), I pointed out how I will likely be sticking with licenses and properties that I know the best. These are the kinds of action figures that are really up my alley and yeah I kind of want all of them already and this is just the start. I think I will need to step up my search for some additional income and as I close this up I wonder what you think about the news about these action figures and the visuals that I’ve included in the post. Chime in down below in the comments section. Now I should state that I did put in the credentials request for the annual Toy Fair and I am hopeful about attending. If we make the media cut, I will for sure be looking to include my own visuals of these awesome action figures. See you next time.
