Doctor Doom Custom Cape

I have been looking for a nice fabric cape for my Marvel Legends Doctor Doom figure. I had gotten one off eBay a few months back, but that one, while nice, was a bit large (and was made for the older Marvel Legends Doom). This cape I got from a seller on Instagram known as dd19customs. He has a YouTube channel and is known as Daredevil19, where he reviews action figures. His girlfriend makes custom wired cloth capes for action figures and they sell them on their Instagram account. They look pretty nice so I got me a Doom one once it was available.

Once I got it in hand, I can say that it is indeed, very good. It's very nicely crafted and is just the right size for this Doom figure. The gold cuffs and chains at the front are a very nice touch, the material of the cape is good, soft but not thin, and the bendable wires inside the edges of the cape are able to hold poses well. Even though they feel thin, they are sturdy, which is impressive. I had ordered another cloth cape off eBay some months ago and that one was so damn cheap, the stitched at one end quickly came undone and the bendable wire was a very thin, cheap material that looked a bit thicker than the bendable ties on bread and plastic bags. This cape from dd19customs is wonderfully crafted and at $26 shipped, it's a damn good deal!

As you can see in the photos, it looks nice and holds poses very well, allowing you to pose Doom with his cape flowing up in the wind, down, to the side, pretty much any cape pose you can think of. If you're looking for a nice, affordable cloth cape for your Doom figure, then I highly recommend you go over to dd19customs on Instagram and purchase one. They make capes for various action figures, and they all look nice. And now that I own one, I can attest to their great quality.

These final 2 photos are him posing with Harley Quinn from Birds of Prey, a figure that I will be reviewing next.

With his wired cloth cape, Doom is now ready to be the badass he is. Sayonara!

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. MonsterArts Godzilla Minus One

Right before the opening of the new Toho film Godzilla Minus One in the US, I received the figure from Bandai Tamashii Nations from that film. It was officially released last weekend, and about a day before that, some photos were popping up online of the final product, appearing with a very dark and bad paint job. Drama rose up in one of the kaiju figure groups I'm a part of, with one idiot in particular proclaiming that the S.H. MonsterArts line was done, despite having not gotten the actual figure in hand before he could judge for himself. After multiple posts trashing the figure and stating that Bandai was dead, he received the figure and then gave it a good rating (8 out of 10), making himself look like a damn fool in the process. I admit that those initial photos had me worried, but I decided to wait until I saw some YouTube reviews to see how it actually turned out to make my judgement (I pre-ordered it from a site where you don't pay for it until it's actually in sto

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
