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,...

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...
