Endgame S.H. Figuarts Black Widow

I initially wasn't planning on getting the Endgame Black Widow by S.H. Figuarts since I already own the Infinity War version. But when I saw photos showing what a great looking figure it was, and especially after watching Endgame, I had to get it.

This figure has great articulation and decent accessories. She comes with a long set of batons and a shorter one that can be placed in her back, 5 pairs of hands, 2 face plates, a pair of guns, a pair of guns in holsters that can be clipped to her sides, as well as a pair of empty gun holsters. She has a very wide range of movement in her shoulders and legs for very expressive poses. This figure is a lot fun to pose.

Black Widow has become one of my favorite Avengers in the Marvel films, having proven to be an asset to the team. She made her debut in Iron Man 2 and was just ok. But over the years, her character grew and became much more interesting as the films progressed.

By Endgame, miss Romanov was sporting longer brown hair with blonde ends. She put her hair back in a ponytail for her battle to work with her team and help her friends undo Thanos' snap. She became forever an MVP when she....

**SPOILER WARNING**

Sacrifices herself in order for Hawkeye to obtain the soul stone from Vormir when they go back in time. That scene hit especially hard for me. I really wasn't expecting her to die, I was sure it would be Hawkeye. As upsetting as that was, it was still a fitting and honorable end to her journey. By this time I'd grown to love her character, so I had to get this figure to honor the kick ass fighter that she was.

Tamashii Nations did a fantastic job with her face sculpt. She absolutely looks like Scarlett Johansson. Their 1st attempt at her figure (from Age of Ultron) was a bit odd looking. The Infinity War version nailed it, and this one actually improved it. Just an all around great figure. Their face sculpts have often been hit or miss, this one hits it out of the park.

I'm quite pleased with my Figuarts Black Widow. The next Marvel character that I'll be getting soon is the new Ant-Man with both the masked and unmasked heads. For now, though, this Black Widow remains my favorite Marvel figure.

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...

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 ...
