Designer's Chair set (lounging in style)



Today I received in the mail 2 pieces from the 1:12 Designer’s Chair set. I received DC-4 and DC-5 (a black lounge and a red and white roundish one). I got them from the Ami Ami site. They’re pretty cool designer chairs that are made specifically for 1:12 figures. I own a lot in that scale (mostly SH Figuarts) so I thought I’d pick some up.

 
 
 
 

Out of the 2 the red one is my favorite, looks-wise. Its design is both modern and retro, reminding me of some of the types of furniture from the 70’s. However, due to the small opening, not all figures are able fit comfortably inside of it. It works best with human/Ultraman type figures, though some of the Ultramen with more spikes on their head may impede their ability to fit inside, as well as if the figure is able to have a good upper torso/waist crunch and good leg articulation.

 
 
 
 

This round one is white on the outside with red on the inside and comes with 2 red cushions. They can either be placed inside the chair for additional support, or you may also use them as foot rests.

 
 
 

The other black one is lounge style, and while that one is nice, it is a bit thin, so smaller framed figures would fit better on it.

 
 
 
 

Both figures are cool accessories for action figures, and there are several more available (different styles), so I may order some of the other ones, so my figures can lounge in high style.

Help Me… I’m Possessed (1974) / #Missingcouple (2024)

I've watched some weird, obscure horror movies throughout my life. I can now add this lurid 1974 schlockfest to that growing list. In a castle in the desert, Dr. Arthur Blackwood runs a sanitarium filled with mentally disturbed patients (as well as staff). He claims to be working on finding a way to cure people of any violent tendencies they have, and brags about his younger sister, innocent, child-like Melanie, as evidence that his treatment works. When she was a child, their parents had to keep her locked up and chained in the basement, to control her violent fits. Now that he's cured her, Arthur has his wife Diane come to the castle to meet Melanie, so that they can be one big, happy family. Diane begins to grow suspicious that something is amiss after a Sheriff shows up investigating the murder of 2 local teens, and sets about on her own investigation, hoping to uncover the sinister secrets that she feels her husband is hiding. Help Me... I'm Possessed is an outrageous,...

S.H. MonsterArts Anguirus 1972

One of my most anticipated figure releases of 2025 was finally delivered this last week. Godzilla's trusty sidekick, S. H. MonsterArts Anguirus (based on the 1972 suit). From the early video and photo reviews I had seen, he looked to have turned out a great figure. Now that I have him in hand, he absolutely is! This Ankylosaurus is based on the suit that was introduced in 1968's Destroy All Monsters, and made subsequent appearances in Godzilla vs. Gigan (72), Godzilla vs. Megalon (73), and Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla (74). Anguirus was the 2nd Toho monster to ever appear on screen, dueling with the big G in 1955's Godzilla Raids Again. For the later films, he became Godzilla's buddy, helping him out in his various battles. I'm a bit surprised that it took Bandai this long to release Anguirus in the MonsterArts line, as he's one of the more popular kaiju, but better late than never. He's painted in a chocolate brown, with pale yellow on his various spikes, hor...

Ultraman Omega finale

Episode 25, the series finale of Ultraman Omega aired this Friday. From the very first episode I was hooked, and the series continued to maintain a high quality until the surprisingly emotional end. Sorato (Omega) regained all his memories, learning that he was one of many Space Gazers, who's job is to watch a planet and not interfere with any wars between the species (in Earth's case, humans and kaiju). A space Gazer's job is to observe, study and take notes, to learn from a planet's successes and mistakes, in the hopes of finding the right formula to achieve universal peace. Having returned to his previous role as simply a watcher, Kosei, Ayumu and Sayuki were forced to rely on themselves and their team to defeat the powerful kaiju Zomera. As he continued to watch the battle, Sorato/Omega found himself wrestling with the inactive role he was meant to do and his memories of the friendships he had forged with the others, as well as the examples of human kindness he had ...
