Jazwares Fortnite Legendary Series Peely


After weeks of searching, I finally found the Jazwares Legendary Series Peely figure. I'm a fan of the Legendary Series line, so when I saw that they were releasing Peely, I had to get him, even though I already own the McFarlane version.






This Peely comes with 3 face plates (winking, eyes closed smiling and eyes wide serious). He comes with 2 rifles, his harvesting tool which is a machete in a coconut, a power up mushroom and a backpack with bananas that serves as his back bling and pegs into his back. All the accessories are nice, though there are some issues.





His serious face plate doesn't stay on too well. In order to clip it in securely, you need to press the top end in, but that causes the bottom half to have a significant gap. You can press the bottom in and reduce the gap, but that causes the top half to not clip in securely and the entire face to fall off easily. The other 2 plates don't have this issue. The other issue is the shape of the rifles make it challenging to get the hinged fingers in a secure enough grip. The hand guns that come with the other figures fit in his hands much more easily. Luckily that's the extent of  the problems with Peely.






His articulation is quite good. He sports all the standard joints you find in all the Jazwares Legendary Series line, including great double jointed elbows and knees. Some were a bit tight but a little heat helped to un-stiffen them. There's nothing in his design that gets in the way, so he can be put in many poses, as well as stand on one leg fairly easily. This is a big plus. After all, who wants an articulated figure that can't hold poses too well?






As far as detail and sculpt, he's a banana with arms and legs, simple but cool. He does sport shading on the knees, elbows, top of his peel and "crotch" area, capturing the look of a real 'nanner. And finally, the top of his head is peeling, one side lower than the other. Despite his plain design, he looks great.




Jazwares Fortnite Legendary Series Peely is another good release, despite the few issues with his rifles and face plate (which may only be QC specific to mine). He's a cute, goofy, potassium delight.

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...
