"Thuh-there's only room for one-uh King in this-uh town!" It is a well-known fact that rock'n'roll musician Elvis Presley met with President Richard Nixon in December of 1970, and a slightly less well-known fact that he volunteered his services to the United States, asking to become a federal agent in the Bureau of Narcotics. The man's love of guns and badges was extreme, and so too was Nixon's desire for all-American, anti-Communist propaganda. Elvis got his badge. He was not, however, made an agent or given any assignments. In OUR boring universe that is. But what if... Of course, an agent needs backup like a king needs his court. Ebony Foxx (50179) and Horace Jackson (80023) seem like they would be ready to get the job done. From minor threats like Communism... to more outre threats: these agents are here to counter threats and look fly as hell while doing so! *** RAFM apparently has three separate and distinct Elvis-with-guns, at least two of which must be impersonators. This one is called 'The Pretender,' but it's the Elvis-est one of the lot in my opinion. Ebony Foxx is a gorgeous sculpt. I need to put some groovy flowers on those polyester pants. Action Jackson already got a show-off post, but it would be unfair to keep him out of this shoot. Another dynamic cat. Guest appearances from Walther's Merchant's Row, a couple of action figures, communists from Pulp Alley and Pulp Figures, Hydra Miniatures' war-bot, and a few other oddities.

This fella is a magnificent sculpt, from 'fro to bell bottoms. Horace "Action" Jackson is a bare-chested hero and I think he makes a good addition to my midcentury setting Allswell, USA. Of course, you should have a good reason to be pointing guns around in a small town, so here he is with Muggsy, my pulp crook.

This figure is kind of silly but I like him anyway. He came from one of the Bones Kickstarters and I felt like painting him up. There isn't a WIP thread, but I welcome comments and questions, if anyone has any.

"Shut your mouth!" "I'm just talkin' 'bout Action Jackson!" "I can dig it!" So... yeah. With hordes of D&D monsters needing completion, with the Armies of Anhur, Learn to Paint Kit 4, and my Summer Exchange mini all needing work... I find myself painting Horace "Action" Jackson, a mini I have no conceivable use for whatsoever. But what the hell, he was fun to paint - and that's what it's all about, right? "I'm sick of these muthaf*ck'n' zombies in this muthaf*ck'n' town!"
