Jazwares Fortnite Leviathan

Jazwares Leviathan is a weird,goofy character. He's dressed in an astronaut suit and a fish head. He's my latest purchase from the Jazwares Fortnite line.

He comes with his EVA harvesting tool, Fish Tank back bling, Submachine Gun, Hand Cannon gun, a tub of popcorn and Hop Rock accessory, which resembles a blue gem. Just like their other figures, each accessory is nicely detailed and painted, and unique to the character.

Leviathan's suit is a light turquoise greenish blue with gold. His fishbowl helmet is translucent and has a cross shaped patch on it. The fish head has fins, a tail and is green. The suit is very nicely detailed, including boots and knee pads.

His articulation is pretty good. The same as the other figures, which is head, shoulders, upper arm cut, elbows, wrists, hinged fingers, upper torso and waist, thighs, upper leg cut, knees and ankles. Some of his joints were a bit more stiff than usual, but simply applying heat and moving them around will loosen them up. His legs can't kick up forward too much, but they can kick out to the sides quite far. You can get him into many poses.

Leviathan is part of Jazwares wave 2 of figures that are in the 1:12 scale. This guy is very unusual and stands out from some of the other warrior like characters.

Jazwares line of Fortnite characters are really great. They're surprisingly solid figures with great articulation and a good amount of accessories. They are one of the best lines of action figures around, a big enthusiastic thumbs up.

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

NECA Godzilla 1962

Today I found the NECA Godzilla 62 at my local shop called Zonkey Toys. I’ve been eagerly awaiting this as I was curious how good NECA’s King Goji would turn out. The first thing to note is that NECA are now allowed to put out more colorful boxes for their Godzilla figures. The box art is really nice, recreating the King Kong vs. Godzilla poster, with an open window that displays the kaiju, as well as an insert inside that can be removed that has the backdrop of Mount Fuji. The figure is also slightly bigger than the other NECA Godzillas, and also bigger than the SHMA King Goji. As for articulation, it’s standard NECA joints. The one immediate thing to note is that the tail is in several sections, so it has more articulation, unlike the usual NECA tails that sport a bendy wire. The tail is also longer and thicker than other NECA G’s. There does seem to be an issue with some joints being more stiff than others, so you may want to be careful when p
