Marvel Legends Jocasta


Jocasta is a character who was created by Ultron as his mate. Ultimately, she betrayed him and joined the Avengers. Marvel Legends have released her in their latest wave.







Jocasta comes with only 2 sets of hands (fists and relaxed palms) and the torso for the build a figure Hulk in Joe Fixit outfit. Jocasta is gray and silver, with red eyes. Her appearance is unique, her head sculpt resembling a cobra or Egyptian goddess. I think she looks great, her design is simple yet odd.







The articulation is pretty good. Ball jointed head, shoulders with ball joint and hinge, upper  torso on ball joint, single jointed elbows, double jointed knees, upper arm and thigh cuts, hinged wrists, ball jointed thighs and those hinge swivel ankle rockers that Marvel Legends give many of their figures for effective, expressive stands. She can balance well on one foot and can do enough poses to make her fun. 








Marvel Legends Jocasta is a unique, cool figure and is a lesser known character, even though she was an Avenger. She had good articulation, and even though she doesn't have much accessories, these figures aren't expensive, so it's acceptable, at least in her case (unlike characters like Spiderman or Deadpool which would benefit from more). I think she turned out just fine.

    I've never heard of her but she reminds me of Maria from the film Metropolis or the early concept art for C-3PO.

      She reminds me of Maria from Metropolis as well. She also resembles an Ultraman villain.

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 ...

S.H. Figuarts Father of Ultra

Last week I received the latest SHF Showa Ultra figure, the one and only Father of Ultra, who made his debut in the series Ultraman Ace. He’s the 1st of the two Ultra related August releases I had pre-ordered (the other being Ace Killer). Father of Ultra is easily recognized by the huge horns on his head. The rest of his body is the standard red and silver color scheme that the other original Ultra brothers have (different colors wouldn’t be introduced until Ultraman Tiga decades later). Bandai did a fine job in capturing his look, much more accurate than the highly stylized Ultra Act version, which made him quite muscular. For his accessories, he comes with 6 pairs of hands (fists, two sets of holding, 2 sets of flat/karate chop, and grappling). He has an extra right flat hand that shoots out his signature beam, called the Father Shot. What makes this different from other releases is that the beam and hand are 2 separate pieces, with a clear plastic peg on the side of the fingers that...

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,...
