The Loyal Subjects Ice Blue Metallic Alien

I had never heard of this company up until 3 weeks ago when I stumbled onto a YouTube video that reviewed some of the figures. I found this guy on Amazon so I ordered myself one.

This little Xenomorph is cute. He's a light blue color with highlights throughout the body. He comes with an Alien egg. These figures come in blind boxes. You can either get an Alien or one of the human characters from the Aliens film, such as Ripley.

I specifically wanted one of the Xenomorph aliens so that's what I purchased. He's articulated in the neck, shoulders, upper torso, thighs, knees, ankles, and a hinged jaw that opens with a little inner mouth that sticks out. His tail is also bendable so you can pose it a little. The joints are pretty decent, the thighs and knees have the widest range.

The hinged jaw was working fine until it broke after like 10 minutes. The inner bottom part seemed to snap off and fall out. I'm still able to keep the mouth closed and in, but without the extra piece, the hinge doesn't work without falling out. It seemed to attach to the jaw via two small little pegs (above). It doesn't appear to be very thick plastic, so that's probably why they snapped so easily. Of course, this isn't the first time I had a figure break from Amazon soon after pulling it out of package. I think I'm done ordering figures from Amazon.

Another issue is that on the right arm, where the hand pegs in, there seems to be a split, which can cause the hand to pop off. I don't think it's supposed to be designed like that, as the figures in the reviews didn't appear to have that.

With all those issues, this figure is just ok. It looks nice, but the easily broken jaw hinge and hand that easily falls out brings it down. You're better off getting a non articulated Xenomorph that you won't have to worry about breaking, or just get a bigger NECA one, of which there are many.

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,...

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...

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...
