Jazwares Abstrakt from Fortnite


My latest buy from the Jazwares Fortnite line is Abstrakt. He wears a sleeveless hoodie, hat, and comes with his tagging/painting epuipment and weapons. 


The first thing to note is that his arm snapped off when I was moving it at the joint. It seemed to be unusually tight, so the peg snapped right off. I was not amused but also happy it's not a pricier Figuarts or Mafex. I ended up gluing his arm back on. He can move it now, he just doesn't have the upper arm swivel ability. 





Abstrakt is equipped with the Renegade Roller harvesting tool, Tag Bag back bling, Semi-Auto Sniper Rifle, Suppressed Pistol, face mask and a yellow Balloon. He also has 3 different face plates, one with surprised expression and the other 2 looking serious. Those other two are very similar. They should've gone with maybe a smiling or angry face as the 3rd. I also noticed that the face plates are a slightly darker shade than his neck. This is most noticeable in the light.






Despite the arm snapping issue due to a tight joint, the rest of the joints are fine. He's actually quite expressive and can be put into many poses.  Even though he's wearing a thick jacket, his waist articulation is still pretty good. 





His face plates are inter-changeable with other figures in the line, so he can sport the rabbit raider suit. And since all the hands are molded the same, they can hold each other's weapons as well.





He's a good figure, despite his QC issue. You may want to apply some heat if you notice the joints are tight to avoid the issue I had. These figures are a good deal for the price they cost.

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 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
