Jazwares Fortnite Wild Card

I finally got me a Jazwares Wild Card. I had gone looking for him at Gamestop but they didn’t have it. I found it on Amazon and got it delivered within a few days. He’s a very simple looking but cool character from Fortnite.

Jazwares Fortnite figures have so far been really cool. They sport great articulation, nicely detailed sculpts, a good amount of accessories and are affordable (in the $20 range).

Wild Card comes decked out in a white jacket, shirt, slacks, black tie, black gloves and black shoes. He come with 4 alternate face plates, which look like hockey masks but each one is painted with a different card symbol (spade, heart, diamond, club). Other accessories include a gun called a Hand Cannon, a rocket launcher, a crowbar and a cuff case (a silver suitcase with handcuffs attached to it; it serves as his back bling that can peg into his back). All these accessories are nicely detailed and painted.

He sports the usual articulation as other Jazwares figures, including double jointed elbows and knees, great range on the head, arms and legs, upper arm and thigh cuts, articulated fingers, waist on a ball joint, nice ankle movement and slight butterfly joints at the arms. The knees on my figure are not as stiff as the other figures I own, but that’s ok, as they make his legs more easily poseable. And just like the other Jazwares’, the finger articulation is just ok. It does take a bit of effort to hold certain weapons in place.

I really like the way he’s dressed. The white suit and tie look is simple but classy. His jacket is also a soft plastic and it’s also removable. When you take it off it looks like he’s wearing a white vest. He has that sophisticated contract killer aura to him.

After buying Rabbit Raider and loving it, I got hooked on these Jazwares figures. Wild Card is the other figure I immediately wanted when I saw what else they had available. Now I have him and he’s great! Something else that's also fun about these guys is that you can swap out the face plates and mix them up with other figures.

These Jazwares Fortnite figures are absolutely worth getting!

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 ...
