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 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 ...
