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.

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...

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. 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 ...
