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.

S.H. MonsterArts King Kong '21

The next May pre-order to arrive is S.H. MonsterArts King Kong from the Godzilla vs. Kong film. I was psyched to get a highly articulated Kong from Tamashii Nations, and the great ape is finally here. Kong is a little shorter than Godzilla (just like in the film). The details of the sculpt are all well done. Tamashii Nations did a good job capturing his look well, from his hair covered body to a few scars on his chest. His faces, including his eyes and teeth on the open mouth head, as well as his axe, are all well painted. The only issue is that they seemed to have gone with a glossy finish, so he seems too shiny, especially on his face and chest. A duller matte shade would've suited him better. At least it would've kept him from looking like he over-moisturized. As for his articulation, he's quite flexible. His head is on a ball joint, ball jointed neck as well, ball jointed shoulders and thighs, upper arm cut, single jointed elbows and knees that go in further than 90 deg...

S.H. MonsterArts Godzilla 1991 Shinjuku Decisive Battle version

The latest Godzilla figure I pre-ordered from the S.H. MonsterArts line has arrived. It is the 1991 Shinjuku Decisive Battle version, to go along with the Mecha King Ghidorah release from earlier this year. While the suit is almost the same as the one used in 1989's Godzilla vs. Biollante, they made some slight adjustments. Compared to the BioGoji figure, this one is much thicker, therefore, he does look different from that other release. His sculpt is the classic 90's era Heisei look, with small head, thick thighs, large dorsal spines and a long tail. Like all the other Godzilla suits of that decade, he has a cat-like face, both cute and menacing. While the King of the Monsters has had multiple looks throughout his 50+ years, it's the Heisei era that seems the most iconic. Artwork, toys, comics, etc, have all utilized this particular design. Similar to the 89 suit, this 91 figure has a small set of dorsal spines, followed by a much larger one, and then gradually getting sm...

S.H. Figuarts Ultimate Ageis/Ultraman Zero Armor option parts set

Earlier in the week I received my S.H. Figuarts Ultimate Ageis/Ultraman Zero Armor option parts set. I was busy with work and doing other reviews, but I finally got around to checking these out. They turned out to be pretty cool option parts. Ultimate Aegis is a set of armor created by Ultraman Noa . My initial thought was that they may be a bit of a hassle to attach to the Ultras. They ended up being fairly easily to swap out and put on them. The only issue I had was with the large piece (Final Ultimate Zero) that Ultraman Zero holds. I was having trouble getting his arm peg into the fist (it’s attached to the piece). Then I realized that I had on his forearm with his bracelet, so I swapped out the regular forearm without the bracelet and it went in easily. For the ultimate Zero Sword, each hand piece comes with its own fists, a red (for X) and blue (for Zero). The top of the fist has a peg that attaches to the piece, and then you ...
