Marvel Legends Vision


While browsing at my local Gamestop, I found the Marvel Legends Vision, so I picked him up. He's a cool character and I like his design. 






Vision is part of the Fat / Bro build-a-figure Thor wave. The only accessory he comes with is the Thor torso with removable robe, and a storm breaker. No extra hands or heads. Despite that, he's still very nice. He's molded in a slightly translucent plastic throughout his body. His cape is hard plastic and removable, with a peg that plugs into a hole in his back.





The articulation is good. Head is on a ball joint, ball jointed shoulders, upper arm and thigh swivel, double jointed elbows and knees, wrist and ankle swivels, and upper torso crunch. When the cape is off, he can be posed quite expressively. I had to apply some heat to one of the ankles and his upper thigh swivel, as those were especially tight. Once all the joints are pliable, he's good to go! 






The details on Vision's sculpt are really well done. His face is nicely detailed, with metal plates throughout his head and neck, and the patterns on his green suit are found all over the body. His cape is also nicely done, painted a pale yellow with faded pink stripes. He looks really good and is one of Marvel Legends' better renditions of an MCU character. 





I'm very happy with Vision and am glad I found him. And with SHF Wanda / Scarlet Witch due at the end of this month (which I've pre-ordered), he'll be set with his partner for crime fighting action. He fits well with most of my 1:12 scale figures.

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,...

S.H. MonsterArts Anguirus 1972

One of my most anticipated figure releases of 2025 was finally delivered this last week. Godzilla's trusty sidekick, S. H. MonsterArts Anguirus (based on the 1972 suit). From the early video and photo reviews I had seen, he looked to have turned out a great figure. Now that I have him in hand, he absolutely is! This Ankylosaurus is based on the suit that was introduced in 1968's Destroy All Monsters, and made subsequent appearances in Godzilla vs. Gigan (72), Godzilla vs. Megalon (73), and Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla (74). Anguirus was the 2nd Toho monster to ever appear on screen, dueling with the big G in 1955's Godzilla Raids Again. For the later films, he became Godzilla's buddy, helping him out in his various battles. I'm a bit surprised that it took Bandai this long to release Anguirus in the MonsterArts line, as he's one of the more popular kaiju, but better late than never. He's painted in a chocolate brown, with pale yellow on his various spikes, hor...

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...
