S.H. Figuarts Ultraman Rosso Wind & Blu Ground.

My latest purchase was S.H. Figuarts Ultraman Rosso Wind & Blu Ground. They're just one of various forms that these 2 can transform into. Their original color scheme is red (Rosso) and blue (Blu).

These figures are really nice. Very nicely detailed and painted. The articulation is pretty good as well. Joints are a little stiff but you can get them in some good, expressive poses.

As far as accessories, they each come with a total of 5 pairs of hands, a color timer and their sword weapons that can be pegged together to form one. Rosso Wind's has redish highlights and Blu Ground has bluish.

I own the Ultra Action versions of their original forms. Tamasshii Nations has their original forms available, as well as reversed versions of the Wind & Ground forms.

Tamasshii Nations is also planning on releasing the Ruebe variant, which is the Ultra they become when they combine their forms. I own the Ultra Action version of that figure as well, so I'll most likely skip that release.

One thing to note is that the paint can scratch / chip off in certain areas due to the articulation, so be careful when posing them.

I wonder if Tamasshii Nations will release further figures from this series or film, such as a villain character and a female Ultra. If they did I'd definitely be interested in Ultraman Tregear (the villain) and Ultrawoman Grigio. I've already seen and pre-ordered Black King from the Return of Ultraman series, I'm psyched about that one.

I'd give Rosso Wind & Blu Ground a thumbs up. Nice colors, good articulation and a decent amount of extra hands make them a worthy release. Plus they're not Web exclusives so they're reasonably affordable.

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...

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,...
