Titanic Creations “Red Scare” Pulgazary






From Titanic Creations, this here is the “Red Scare” variant of their Pulgazary figure. I was originally planning on getting their first initial release that went up for preorder, but I waited too long and it sold out, so I purchased this one instead. It’s the latest in their series of figures based on movie kaiju; this one is based on the North Korean film Pulgasari from 1985.










The figure is molded in translucent red, with gold highlights on the horns, spikes, eyes, teeth, torso, arms, legs, nails and toes. He resembles a demonic bull monster, especially in that crimson shade and those large horns on the head. The accessories include 3 pairs of interchangeable hands (regular, open and fists), a street base, a small solid figure of baby Pulgazary, a three piece train set, and two buildings with sections that can pulled off to make them into damaged. The buildings can fit into slots on the street base. One is tan, the other is black, each with several painted in windows to resemble lights. When you pull the pieces off, the inside of the buildings show detailed structure, giving them an authentic damaged look. The little Pulgazary is also molded in translucent red with golden highlights. The train cars can be clipped together to form one long one. The interchangeable hands were pretty tight at first. I had to strain to pull them out to change them. Once you’ve changed each pair at least once, they become easier to swap out. All three variants of the Pulgazary figure that they had available came with the same accessories, so the figure is worth it no matter which one you purchase.











One thing to note is that the figure is more of a stylized version of the actual film kaiju, and the name is spelled differently, with a Z and a Y. That’s because they couldn’t exactly get the rights to the film, so they had to improvise to avoid any issues. Despite not accurately resembling the movie version Pulgasari, Titanic Creations Pulgazary is still close enough in appearance that you can tell it’s him. It’s still a great kaiju action figure.











The articulation includes ball joints and swivels throughout the body. The head sits on a ball joint and can turn, he can rotate his arms in a full circle, lift them up in a T pose, bend and swivel the elbows and knees, he has a ball joint waist that can rotate in a complete circle, ball joint thighs and ankles, the latter with swivel that bend upwards and to the sides. The small tail can twist around. The lower jaw can open and close, and it’s a separate piece that fits into the slots on the sides of the mouth. It can be pulled out as it’s not attached to the figure, so if you accidentally pop it out, you can pop it back in. The left ankle is a bit more loose than the right. The head can’t look up, and can droop forward a bit due to the weight of the horns. The rest of the joints are solid and can hold poses well. 












Titanic Creations “Red Scare” Pulgazary is another nice fully articulated release from this company. I love his translucent red color, the interchangeable hands, and the very cool accessories he comes with. Like Yongary, he stands taller than their Gorgo figure. I’m happy that I ended up purchasing this unique kaiju, especially this very cool variant that looks quite arresting when the light hits it at certain angles. I know that Titanic Creations’ next super articulated figure will be their original Titanicus, a kaiju with large blue spikes on its back. I’m not sure if I’ll get that one, but I will absolutely be game to purchase any future figures they make based on movie kaiju. I hope 2025 sees a few more reveals from them.

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...
