While browsing at Target I came across this set. You get not only Agent Peely, but 2 of them, 2 guns, a chair and a cool diorama set. How could I pass this up?
The "gimmick" of the set is the diorama, which is a few wall pieces that clip on to resemble a library room. But if you press the button, the wheel where the middle wall spins to reveal a secret wall with a gun rack. This set only comes with 2 guns, but if you collect other Jazwares figures, you may have enough weapons to hang on all the spaces.
The Peely figures are only 4" tall. One is dressed in a white tux, the other in a black one. The guns include a Grenade Launcher and a Sniper Rifle. The little chair is a solid, hard plastic. It scales well with most 1:12 figures, even though these banana dudes are a little smaller. The entire set is simply cool and fun. Who needs 007 when you can have a banana secret agent instead?
The articulation is almost the same as the larger Legendary Series figures. His shoulders are on hinged ball joints, the elbows are single jointed (whereas the 6" figures sport double joints), ball jointed thighs, double jointed knees, and ankles that rock and pivot. There are no upper thigh or bicep swivels. His waist is on a joint, but he can only turn slightly side to side, no ab crunches. I was still able to get them into some fun, ass-kicking poses.
I've been wanting the Legendary Series Agent Peely since I first saw it announced, so when I came across this set, I had to snatch it up. This Agent's Room set is really unique and absolutely worth picking up if you're a fan of this goofy banana man. Just be wary of where you purchase it. I was lucky to find it in store at the retail price of $25. On Amazon it's $50 (?!?) and eBay prices are all over the place. The price I paid was worth this double dose of potassium.
That is a really cool set! It definitely should have come with enough guns to fill out the wall, though. Still, I like the overall design. I only collect the 6 inch Legendary Series figures (which has its own Agent Peely figure I'm currently looking for) so we'll never see something like this in that line. Jazwares really is doing some cool things with this series and I love seeing unique stuff like this. There just aren't many action figure lines like this with vehicles, playsets, etc, out there these days.
