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!

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...
