Unboxing Salmoneus (From Hercules, 1997)
/Norrin has been collecting toys (and keeping them safely inside of their original packaging) for a little over 20 years now. And the time has come to break the seals, tear the tape, and see what's actually inside of these boxes. We will be seeing him open flea-market finds (with dog eared cardboard and pushed in plastic) right along with his mint-in-box exclusive editions. Who wants to play with some toys?
Our sixteenth unboxing is the Mt. Olympus Games Salmoneus figure from the line of Hercules: The Legendary Journeys action figures put out by Toy Biz in 1997. He comes packaged with a Light-Up Torch, a Staff, a Dagger, and a Purple Toga.
Salmoneus was a recurring character on Hercules: The Legendary Journeys and Xena: Warrior Princess played by the actor Robert Trebor. He was a shrewd businessman who engaged in many ventures (some of which were not entirely legal). Despite being greedy for money and wealth, along with the perks that came with it, he also did possess a genuine, kind-hearted nature and helped Hercules and later Xena when they needed it. He became best friends with Hercules, Iolaus, Xena, and Gabrielle.
