Jazwares Fortnite DJ Yonder

Wave 2 of the Jazwares Fortnite figures have arrived. I picked up DJ Yonder through Amazon. He resembles a character with a robot animal head. He's a very cool looking figure.

DJ Yonder comes with 2 hand guns, an assault rifle, a turntable mixer than can be attached to his waist, his Wavefront back bling, his smash-up tool and an energy generator that resembles one of those electric crystal balls.

His articulation is really good. Just like the other Jazwares figures I own, this guy can be put into many cool poses. Double jointed knees and elbows, and arms and thighs with good range. Even his mouth has a hinge that opens and closes, and he even sports a golden tooth. With his cool green jacket, bright pink tennis shoes and animal helmet, he has the super DJ look down.

His weapons fit decently in his hand, though the hinged fingers can be a bit of a challenge. His turntable mixer fits snuggly to his waist. Every one of his accessories are painted and sculpted quite well.

Now the rest of my action figures have a DJ to power their party, haha. He is 1:12 scale so he fits well with S.H. Figuarts, Mafex, Figma and certain Marvel Legends. He'll fit well among your monsters, aliens and heroes.

These Jazwares Fortnite figures are really great. Wonderfully detailed and painted, very good articulation, lots of accessories and a very low price ($20 - $25 range). They are very colorful, unusual characters and great additions if you're a collector.

I think DJ Yonder is my favorite of these Jazwares figures thus far that I own. He's the 4th one that I've purchased. Everything great about this line comes together perfectly with DJ Yonder. He rocks!

Titanic Creations Yongary 1967

This figure was released in late December, and I got it about 2 days before the New Year, so I'm counting it as a 2025 release. It is the Titanic Creations version of the Korean kaiju Yongary, Monster From The Deep. The film was released in 1967 as a Godzilla ripoff, with several ideas copied from the Gamera series, such as his tusks, his ability to fire a stream of flames from his mouth, and even firing a laser beam from his horn, similar to the slicing one used by Gyaos. The film is pretty goofy, but Yongary, like most of those Asian monsters, was pretty cool (to me, at least), so I was psyched that someone finally made a figure of this lesser known kaiju. When Titanic Creations put it up for pre-order, they announced a series of tiers, where they would add accessories when a certain number of orders were met. Enough fans ordered him, so that Yongary ended up with a shit ton of stuff, making him absolutely worth the price. In addition to the kaiju, you get a flame breath effect, ...

S.H. MonsterArts Godzilla Evolved Version (2024)

Early last week, this figure was delivered. It is the Evolved Godzilla from the film Godzilla vs. Kong: The New Empire, from S.H. MonsterArts. I admit, I haven’t bothered to watch the movie. When I first saw the trailer (about a month after having watched Godzilla Minus One and still being on a high from it), the trailer for The New Empire dropped, and I thought it looked stupid as fuck, especially this bad CGI scene of Godzilla and Kong running towards the camera like superheroes. The rest of it looked like Planet of the Apes, so I chose to pass. However, I do think Godzilla’s new evolved look is pretty cool, so when S.H. MonsterArts announced his figure, I went ahead and preordered it. And now, Pinkzilla is finally here. Godzilla Evolved has a sleeker, leaner body, with a bigger head and pink dorsal spines. His tail ends in pink spikes, like an ankylosaurus. The figure turned out looking great, with the spines painted but also translucent, really standing out from the rest of his bod...

RICSAN Custom Toys The Unbelievable (Varan)

For the last few months, I had been seeing photos and YouTube reviews of custom Godzilla kaiju from someone known as RICSAN Customs. He’s a guy in Mexico who makes 3rd party customs of articulated figures that no other company is making. Due to licensing issues, he gives them different names, such as The Dream Ogre and The Infant (Gabara and Minilla), Monster from Odo Island (pre-mutated Godzilla Minus One), Sō Shingeki Serpent (Manda), etc. This one is called The Unbelievable, and is basically the Toho monster from the film Varan (aka Varan the Unbelievable from the English dub). His figures are made of resin and use thick string articulation instead of ball joints (similar to Meego figures). So they are articulated and posable, you just need to be aware that they’ll move differently from standard ball joint figures, so practice a bit more care when handling them. Ok, let’s get the one negative out of the way. He packs his figures in styrofoam, and since that stuff can be sticky, my V...
