It came from the Toy Chest: The Chief


 I got him not because of the Beastie Boys but for the fact he's a Police Chief. I vaguely remember the video. It had a 70s cop show vibe but mainly from Beavis and Butthead.

The wig on the figure helps hide that this is Mike D, so I can use him as a generic police chief in one of the Displays.
Chief: Objection!
Nefty: Overruled!
Chief: We need GUNS!
Nefty: I have Todd's but you lack pew pew holding hands!
Chief: Goddammit!


Articulation:
The Chief has standard Super7 Articulation. The blazer doesn't interfere with his articulation. He has a crotch ball joint and those scare me after the Jason I never reviewed because he broke.
4.5
Chief: Yes! Shake what your Momma gave you!
Nefty: What?
Chief: Martini shaker. You need to shake that thing and that was given to her by her mother.
Nefty: Ah, OK.
Chief: Shake that ass!


Paint and sculpt:
The Chief is nicely done and Alasondro Alegre looks a lot like Mike D wearing a fake wig and mustache. Kinda remind me of Cuban Comedian Hector Travieso... wait he died this year? Sonofabitch! Damn you Haley Joel Osment!
5.0
Chief: It appears that the individual known as Johnny has absconded the premises.
Nefty: So Johnny's not here. We need a Johnny for the axe joke!


Accessories:
This is where Super7 dropped the ball.
3 heads... that's reasonable.
4 extra hands (gun fingers, high five hands)
Bloody axe
Binoculars
Walkie talkie
Police Siren
Megaphone

He can only hold the axe
You CAN force the megaphone or the Binoculars on his left hand and run the risk of warping that hand. But no matter how hard I try, the walkie talkie is a no go.
Chief: Well, now, don't you tell me to smile
You stick around, I'll make it worth your while
Got numbers beyond what you can dial
Maybe it's because I'm so versatile.
Nefty: This is Sabotage, not Intergalactic. But since you want to go there at least let me do the chorus line... Intergalactic planetary. Planetary intergalactic.
Chief: Dude, you suck at singing.
Nefty: I know.


Update: 
I had to heat the shit up his left hand to put the walkie talkie in. Right hand wouldn't budge. I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS.
Chief: This was a .38 a minute ago.
Nefty: You got Spielberged...


While we don't have a Crown Vic, there ARE a few vehicles in scale.The siren's wire isn't long enough to reach the cigarette lighter and putting the siren in a visible place.
1.0


Overall:
The Chief gets a 3.5 as his final score. The useless Accessories and lack of proper hands to use them are an issue. I know most people will either keep the figure MOC or put it in vanilla poses but giving a figure unusable Accessories is a deadly sin. This figure could've used a few more hands, even if they're unrelated to the video.
