Mafex Deadpool


Today I received the Mafex/Medicom Deadpool. It’s a really great figure with LOTS of accessories and extras.
 
 
 
He comes with a total of 8 pairs of hands (fists, holding fists, trigger finger holding, relaxed, open, pointing, hang five and thumbs up). He comes with 2 swords, a harness with sword handles that fits like a backpack, 3 heads (regular, narrow/squinted eyes, and one eye open and the other winking). He comes with 3 different belt buckles as well. And finally, a stand. The one thing you immediately notice is that he does not come with any guns, which would’ve been nice, but the wide selection of hands more than make up for it. And I own a pair of extra action figure guns that fit his hands. You can always buy extra accessories off eBay, such as guns and stuff.
 
 
I’ll immediately say that the stand is rather weak. It’s good for keeping him in standing poses, but in action poses where his feet are off the ground, it’s simply too loose to support his weight and will droop down. Luckily I own a number of other stands from various action figures, so any of those will work. I guess those are the benefits of owning multiple figures/sets.
 
 
He sports articulation in the neck, shoulders, upper arm cut, elbow, wrist, torso and abs, thighs, along with thigh swivel, knees and ankles.  His shoulders also have a slight butterfly joint for a bit of extra movement in the arms. The legs also drop down a bit for additional mileage when posing them. The pouches on his belt buckle can swivel up as well. The joints are all good and he’s able to get into some good action figure poses.
 
 


Because of the wide selection of hands, this adds a lot of character and makes him stand out. This makes him a lot of fun to play with and pose. He will definitely stand out amongst your other action figures.
 
 

His design is based on a comic version and not the film version, so his look is a little more simple. However, it looks quite nice. He stands a little taller than most Figuarts and is almost the same height as Marvel Legends.
 

 
 
 
This figure is really great and definitely worth getting if you’re a Deadpool fan. The design, the accessories and the articulation make him a winner. This is my 2nd Mafex figure and I really love it. For years Mafex had a reputation for having lots of QC issues, but I’ve heard from multiple sources and in many reviews that they have improved in the last several years. This Deadpool rocks.

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 ...

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. Figuarts Father of Ultra

Last week I received the latest SHF Showa Ultra figure, the one and only Father of Ultra, who made his debut in the series Ultraman Ace. He’s the 1st of the two Ultra related August releases I had pre-ordered (the other being Ace Killer). Father of Ultra is easily recognized by the huge horns on his head. The rest of his body is the standard red and silver color scheme that the other original Ultra brothers have (different colors wouldn’t be introduced until Ultraman Tiga decades later). Bandai did a fine job in capturing his look, much more accurate than the highly stylized Ultra Act version, which made him quite muscular. For his accessories, he comes with 6 pairs of hands (fists, two sets of holding, 2 sets of flat/karate chop, and grappling). He has an extra right flat hand that shoots out his signature beam, called the Father Shot. What makes this different from other releases is that the beam and hand are 2 separate pieces, with a clear plastic peg on the side of the fingers that...
