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 Godzilla Minus One

Right before the opening of the new Toho film Godzilla Minus One in the US, I received the figure from Bandai Tamashii Nations from that film. It was officially released last weekend, and about a day before that, some photos were popping up online of the final product, appearing with a very dark and bad paint job. Drama rose up in one of the kaiju figure groups I'm a part of, with one idiot in particular proclaiming that the S.H. MonsterArts line was done, despite having not gotten the actual figure in hand before he could judge for himself. After multiple posts trashing the figure and stating that Bandai was dead, he received the figure and then gave it a good rating (8 out of 10), making himself look like a damn fool in the process. I admit that those initial photos had me worried, but I decided to wait until I saw some YouTube reviews to see how it actually turned out to make my judgement (I pre-ordered it from a site where you don't pay for it until it's actually in sto

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. Monsterarts Rodan &Mothra 2019 set

My Rodan and Mothra set finally arrived after being delayed for a few weeks. After spending a few days going over them, I've had time to really assess them. They're both decent, but there are some issues. Let's dig in! As far as sculpt, Rodan fairs better than Mothra. Everything from the wings, face, torso and legs on Rodan are well done and nicely capture his condor-like look from the film. The face, legs and body of Mothra is sculpted in a very simple, dull manner, lacking any real detail or pattern. Part of it I think is that her body is so small it doesn't leave much room for details. Another thing that was pointed out to me by someone on social media is that Monsterarts may have based their Mothra on early concept artwork as opposed to her actual look in the film. The result is a smooth, crude design that, upon close inspection, resembles a Play-Do sculpture. If this was the case, Tamashii Nations really should've waited until they saw w
