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.

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...
