Bandai Ultimate Structure Set V3

 


This is the Bandai Ultimate Structure Set Volume 3. It consists of 7 individual structure sets, some needing some mild assembly. The sets are:


Street bridge with street lights. You can peg the lights into 2 holes on each side, or they come with tiny round stands that you can peg the light into as well. While this one is nice, since it’s so small, you’d have to buy a few sets of these to make a longer bridge, otherwise you only get a piece of a bridge. I actually ordered another single one, but now that I see how small they are, I may order 2 or 3 more just to make a longer bridge.

 
Tall building with windows. This is one that you can open and place a small light inside to illuminate it since the windows are translucent.
 
 
Warehouse with 2 mini refrigerator car pieces (at least I think that’s what they’re called). This one also has the translucent windows and can be opened to illuminate from within.
 
 
Crane with little forklift. The crane is 3 pieces that you clip together and the forklift pretty small.

 
Smaller warehouse building. This one also sports some small translucent windows.
 

 
Constructed building. This one comes in 5 pieces, the base, two L shaped pieces that go into the base, another one that pegs inside the base, and a cross shaped one to place on top. It’s a nice, bright orange-ish color.
 

 
Crane with little blue cement truck. The crane is the same as the other. The cement truck is pretty cool and decently detailed for being so small.
 
 
These sets are sold in Japan in those toy dispenser machines. They’re pretty nicely detailed for being so small. They’re generally in scale with Gashaphon figures. They fit well with my Bandai Shodo Ultraman sets. I do use them in diorama photos with my Figuarts and Monsterarts, combined with other, bigger building sets. I also use them as city backdrops for stop motion flicks I do.
 
 
 
 
 
I got them off ebay. The set costs about $18. Or you can buy each set piece individually. You can get them from sellers in Japan or China.
 
 

 
I think they’re cool and fun accessories. Hopefully they continue to make more sets.

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,...

S.H. MonsterArts Anguirus 1972

One of my most anticipated figure releases of 2025 was finally delivered this last week. Godzilla's trusty sidekick, S. H. MonsterArts Anguirus (based on the 1972 suit). From the early video and photo reviews I had seen, he looked to have turned out a great figure. Now that I have him in hand, he absolutely is! This Ankylosaurus is based on the suit that was introduced in 1968's Destroy All Monsters, and made subsequent appearances in Godzilla vs. Gigan (72), Godzilla vs. Megalon (73), and Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla (74). Anguirus was the 2nd Toho monster to ever appear on screen, dueling with the big G in 1955's Godzilla Raids Again. For the later films, he became Godzilla's buddy, helping him out in his various battles. I'm a bit surprised that it took Bandai this long to release Anguirus in the MonsterArts line, as he's one of the more popular kaiju, but better late than never. He's painted in a chocolate brown, with pale yellow on his various spikes, hor...

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...
