S.H. Figuarts Endgame Hawkeye

Black Widow's partner in crime has arrived. Clint Barton aka Hawkeye is my latest S.H. Figuarts Avengers purchase.

He comes with an alternate head looking off to the side, 2 pairs of hands (fists, open), an extra grasping hand to pull back his bow and arrow, 2 different bows (one with arrow, one without) that have hands molded onto them, and his back quiver that holds his extra arrows. The quiver can attach to his back via a small peg.

The articulation is decent. His head and neck can't look too far up or down, his shoulders have a good range, moving in every direction. No upper arm cut, but the elbow has swivel. The upper torso and waist have a decent range. His thighs are similar to the Star-Lord figure in that they can't kick too far up, with most of their range being out to the sides. The knees are not double jointed but can bend far enough, and ankles have slight pivot but are hindered by the sculpt. And finally, toe hinge. You can get him into all the good action poses, nothing overly wild, but that's ok.

Of the two bows, getting the one with the arrow into his wrist peg is a bit challenging as the arrow and pulled back bow can get in the way of his arm. It fits best when his arm is extended out to the side. His back quiver fits snuggly into the peg, but it can pop out when brushing against it while handling the figure.

As far as the face sculpts, both are decent and look enough like Jeremy Renner, though there's something about them that I find slightly off. I think it's his nose. In certain angles it can appear slightly too big. It's less evident on the face that looks to the side. It's not the best likeness, but it's not the worst. The head on the Marvel Legends 2-Pack Hawkeye can fit onto his neck, though it sits loose as the Legends' peg is much larger.

He scales very well with Endgame Black Widow, as well as the other Figuarts Marvel characters. He looks perfect next to Natasha, both in their dark black body suits. Speaking of which....

I recall during the press tour for the first Avengers film, several interviewers and writers mentioned Black Widow's skin tight body suit. I noticed that this Hawkeye figure's suit, while not skin tight, does have a more pronounced rear end than the other male Marvel figures I own. I know that Captain America is supposed to have America's ass, but in S.H. Figuarts form, Hawkeye has his beat in that department.

S.H. Figuarts Endgame Hawkeye gets a 7.5 out of 10. Nice paint, details, sculpt, decent articulation and accessories. Maybe a gun or sword would've been nice as well, but as it stands, he's a good release.

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,...

Titanic Creations Yongary 1967

This figure was released in late December, and I got it about 2 days before the New Year, so I'm counting it as a 2025 release. It is the Titanic Creations version of the Korean kaiju Yongary, Monster From The Deep. The film was released in 1967 as a Godzilla ripoff, with several ideas copied from the Gamera series, such as his tusks, his ability to fire a stream of flames from his mouth, and even firing a laser beam from his horn, similar to the slicing one used by Gyaos. The film is pretty goofy, but Yongary, like most of those Asian monsters, was pretty cool (to me, at least), so I was psyched that someone finally made a figure of this lesser known kaiju. When Titanic Creations put it up for pre-order, they announced a series of tiers, where they would add accessories when a certain number of orders were met. Enough fans ordered him, so that Yongary ended up with a shit ton of stuff, making him absolutely worth the price. In addition to the kaiju, you get a flame breath effect, ...

RicSan Custom Toys Kyōrū Kaiju (Titanosaurus)

My latest kaiju figure purchase is the Titanosaurus made by Ricsan Custom Toys. I own and love the Varan & Gabara, so of course I had to preorder this one when it was available. He was delivered earlier this week. This kaiju hails from the last Godzilla film of the Showa era, 1975's Terror of Mechagodzilla. The Black Hole aliens are back, rebuilding their robot in another effort to take over the planet. They enlist the help of an ostracized Earth scientist named Mafune and his daughter Katsura, who are able to control an aquatic dinosaur named Titanosaurus. They plan to use both kaiju and mecha to attack Japan. Titano was a cool monster, with his tail that opened into a fish fin, and he would use it to create whirlpools in the sea, and high winds on land. I'm hoping that S.H. Monsterarts makes one for the 50th anniversary of the film, but when I saw this Ricsan Custom version, I couldn't pass it up. Titanosaurus (called the Kyōrū Kaiju), comes in a white box, with its n...
