While browsing on YouTube, I came across reviews of several different Blokees Ultraman Galaxy S figures and sets. The volume 2 version had a few that caught my attention, so I decided to buy a set. These Blokees figures come in a blind box, meaning, you have no way of knowing what's inside the box until you open them. I find these blind boxes fun. Well, that is, until you end up getting every figure except the ones you really wanted. For me, those were the GUTS Member (a guy from the GUTS team in Ultraman Tiga, who strongly resembles Daigo, the human host of Tiga), and Alien Raybeak, with his cool black suit.

Having owned 2 Tigas from my previous Gatanozoa set (the stone version and darker shaded Multi Type), I knew what to expect, including the pretty cool articulation. I opted to just get an entire case so that it would guarantee that I'd get the ones I really wanted, as opposed to getting a few...
There has been some recent action figure news that caught my attention. The first one was the reveal of Mafex's first Wonder Woman figure based on a comic (Superman For Tomorrow).

She comes with 3 different face sculpts, as well as hair sculpts (I'm not sure if the face plates are interchangeable, hopefully they are). She also comes with a cloth cape, a shield, a sword, and a removable skirt and belt, to display her with her classic briefs. Some people complained that they didn't include her lasso of truth, but I don't mind, as I think her accessories are very good. Plus, I can always use any of the other lasso accessories that came with my other Wonder Woman figures. I instantly pre-ordered this figure. The other Mafex reveal was a Superman from that same comic. I'm not that big of a Superman fan so I won't be getting it, but that...
