Maevel Legends Squirrel Girl scooter set.

From Marvel Legends comes the infamous, unstoppable Squirrel Girl. She's most famous for beating Doctor Doom with her army of squirrels. She's also defeated Thanos, Wolverine, Deadpool, Ego the Planet and several others. She was recently released in a new set.

The set comes with Squirrel Girl, 3 different squirrels (one regular, one with pink bow and one eating a nut), a blue motor scooter with basket, and a little horn that can be placed on the scooter. The squirrels are all solid pieces, and the horn, though cute, fits a bit loose on the bike handle. As for Squirrel Girl, she looks very cool with her pixie haircut, animal ears, grey jacket, boots and big, puffy squirrel tail.

As for articulation, her head is on a ball joint with neck hinge so she can look side to side, tilt side to side, up a bit and down quite far. Her knees are double jointed, and while her elbows are not, they still have a good range, as well as swivel. The wrists and ankles are swiveled, and the thighs can kick out far. The upper torso can turn side to side but doesn't have a lot of ab crunch. All the joints work well to give her good posability. The only real issue is that her fluffy tail is a harder plastic and does not articulate. Had they made it flatter or given it a joint so that it can be posed downward it would help to give her more posability options. Since its big, it can weigh her down, making it challenging to stand on her own, though it can be done by working the legs, knees and ankle joints. She can sit well on her own.

As far as the scooter, it takes a bit of work to get her to sit on it properly, with her hands holding the handle bars. There are 2 pegs on each side where you can plug her feet into via holes under her soles, but the don't hold too well. It might have helped if she came with an extra pair of grasping hands so they could fit more securely on the bars. However, the wrist swivels help by posing them downwards.

It would've been nice if she came with some alternate heads, such as a frowning expression or surprised. Still, it's a fun, cute set, and now my Doctor Doom has his ultimate arch nemesis. The scooter is also really cool, many of my action figures can fit on it and ride in style. The wheels actually move, and the break pad can be moved downward to allow the bike to sit more securely.

Marvel Legends Squirrel Girl scooter set is a cool addition to my collection of heroes, villains, kaiju and Ultramen. She's a unique character from the Marvel comics and she looks great. If you're a fan of the unbeatable Squirrel Girl, you may want to pick her up.

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, ...

RicSan Custom Toys Kyōrū Kaiju (Titanosaurus)

My latest kaiju figure purchase is the Titanosaurus made by Ricsan Custom Toys. I own and love the Varan & Gabara, so of course I had to preorder this one when it was available. He was delivered earlier this week. This kaiju hails from the last Godzilla film of the Showa era, 1975's Terror of Mechagodzilla. The Black Hole aliens are back, rebuilding their robot in another effort to take over the planet. They enlist the help of an ostracized Earth scientist named Mafune and his daughter Katsura, who are able to control an aquatic dinosaur named Titanosaurus. They plan to use both kaiju and mecha to attack Japan. Titano was a cool monster, with his tail that opened into a fish fin, and he would use it to create whirlpools in the sea, and high winds on land. I'm hoping that S.H. Monsterarts makes one for the 50th anniversary of the film, but when I saw this Ricsan Custom version, I couldn't pass it up. Titanosaurus (called the Kyōrū Kaiju), comes in a white box, with its n...

Help Me… I’m Possessed (1974) / #Missingcouple (2024)

I've watched some weird, obscure horror movies throughout my life. I can now add this lurid 1974 schlockfest to that growing list. In a castle in the desert, Dr. Arthur Blackwood runs a sanitarium filled with mentally disturbed patients (as well as staff). He claims to be working on finding a way to cure people of any violent tendencies they have, and brags about his younger sister, innocent, child-like Melanie, as evidence that his treatment works. When she was a child, their parents had to keep her locked up and chained in the basement, to control her violent fits. Now that he's cured her, Arthur has his wife Diane come to the castle to meet Melanie, so that they can be one big, happy family. Diane begins to grow suspicious that something is amiss after a Sheriff shows up investigating the murder of 2 local teens, and sets about on her own investigation, hoping to uncover the sinister secrets that she feels her husband is hiding. Help Me... I'm Possessed is an outrageous,...
