NOTORIOUS T.O.Y.
Mezco sent along news that one of their Notorious B.I.G. action figures was brought along on the set of some BET show that I’m sure you’ve never heard of by the guy who plays Biggie in the movie based on his life.
I’m not really a fan of rap and if I had to choose between Tupac and Biggie, I’d go Tupac any day of the week, but there’s just something sweet about this figure. I do enjoy Biggie though, because he’s one of the only rap stars that I’ve heard that really captures what it’s like to be super fat purely in audio waves. I swear my Mom got diabetes by accidentally hearing him on the radio once.
If you’re interested in your own Biggie Smalls aka Notorious B.I.G. action figure, check him out here.
(Director’s Commentary: Okay, now let’s give this post about six months before insane Notorious B.I.G. fans start ranting and raving in the comments like our good pals the Juggelos.)

They made him look really obese. I know he was a big dude but really. I do like Mezco figs though. I have Mezco Scarface stuff. Mezco usually deals with the gangsta or movie figs.
I prefer Biggie over Pac. Biggie had some killer metaphors and hooks. Pac was more of a thug poet. It’s cool to see them make such a fig regardless. The guy that plays Biggie really doesn’t resemble him. The other guy playing Puff is even worse.
