S.H. Figuarts Endgame Final Battle Captain America


My first Captain America figure that I own. When the previous Endgame release came out, it sold out quite fast, so I missed out. Plus, that one didn't come with much accessories, so I thought I'd wait to see if a better version was announced. Then this one was announced, and with all the extras included, I knew this was the Figuarts Cap to get. 






This Cap comes with 3 heads (unmasked, masked neutral expression and masked gritty expression), 2 shields (regular and broken), Mjolnir, 3 effect pieces for the Mjolnir, 2 regular shield straps, one shield strap for the arm, one to plug into his back, and 5 pairs of hands (fists, strap holding to plug into shield, relaxed, relaxed with peg to hold shield in hand, and to hold Mjolnir). And another accessory that plugs into the shield and his pegged hand to hold it. With all these hands and extras, you have mostly everything to re-create his final battle.






This is the same figure as the previous Endgame release, only they added a grayish wash to give him a dirty, dusty appearance. The head sculpts are decent enough. They resemble Chris Evans, though not 100%. Still, they're much nicer than the God awful Infinity War release, which looked like a bad Nicholas Cage wax figure. One thing about the unmasked head is that there's a seam line in the middle of his head that's visible when looking at the profile angle. Everything else on the sculpt is good.






As for articulation, he has a head & neck on ball joints, ball jointed & swivel shoulders, double jointed elbows & knees, ball jointed waist & torso, drop down ball jointed thighs and very slight ankle pivots and toe hinge. The ankles have very limited range, going down a bit, barely up or to the sides. His torso has really good range, especially to the sides and backwards, with decent ab crunch. As for his arms, while they don't have upper arm cut, the elbows, once bent in all the way, suddenly give the forearm a wide pivot to the sides. It seems to "snap into place" only when elbows are bent in the farthest. It's an interesting bit of engineering. The shoulders have a slight butterfly joint, and can snap down and around. With the exception of the ankles, all the other joints come together to create some good poses. 





The straps for the shield peg into 2 sets of holes that fit nice and snug once snapped into place. There's a small piece on his back that can be pulled out to plug in the back piece so he can carry his shield on his body. His gripping hands hold the Mjolnir nicely, no looseness. When holding his shield or Mjolnir, the added weight makes his forearm pivots a bit loose, but you can position them into place and they will hold their pose. And the energy effect pieces for the Mjolnir snap into place when removing the sides and top round piece, that comes out easily by pressing the edge. 



Ever since I watched The Winter Soldier (one of the best MCU films), Captain America started to really grow on me as a character. Steve Rogers had heart, integrity and always stood for what was right. I was happy to see that he ended his run by going back in time and living out his life with his true love Peggy Carter. Chris Evans brought him to life and made him one of the most important characters in the MCU. I'm glad to finally have a decent figure of his Cap. This release is worthy!

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...
