S.H. Figuarts Mr. Satan

S.H. Figuarts released Mr. Satan from Dragon Ball series earlier this year as Web exclusive. It's a pretty cool character with nice details and a good amount of accessories.

The articulation isn't the greatest, though the joints are relatively easy to move. His hands are also very easy to swap out, probably the easiest I've experienced with a Figuarts. He comes dressed in purplish robe, white pants, black and white shoes and his big affro. There are lines on his chest, arms and hands to represent his hairyness.

He comes with 4 different face plates (mouth closed, mouth open, mouth open with raised eyebrow, clenched teeth with widened eyes. 4 pairs of hands (fists, grabbing, peace sign and 2 different pointing), 3 different waist belts, a cape and his little dog Bee. The figure can be pulled apart at the waist to switch out the belts, and the cape is put on my pulling off the neck and clipping a tab on the inside of the cape into a hole on his back. He also has a small piece to cover the hole when not wearing the cape. The photo above shows how to switch that small piece out.

The articulation is on the head, neck, shoulders, elbows (though those are limited due to the sculpt and cut), upper torso, waist, thighs, knees, a little bit at ankles and toe hinges. The legs can kick up and to the side but they're limited by the skirt section of his robe. You can get him to sit, it just takes some work of the legs and torso.

Despite the limits on some of the joints, he's still a cool figure, just not one that you'll get to put in any wild yoga poses. The sculpt, detailed faces and expressive hands make him fun.

S. H. Figuarts Mr. Satan (or Hercule Satan, his name) is a pretty decent figure. His unique design and look make him a standout.

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 ...
