Marvel Legends Hercules


Marvel Legends' version of the famous strong man turned out to be a great figure. He comes with a decent amount of accessories and great articulation.





He comes with 2 pairs of hands (fists and holding weapons), a sword and a battle axe. He also has Thanos' head for the build a figure if you get the entire set. The sword and battle axe can be put into slots in his harness on his back. The sword has some nice detailed scruff marks on the blade. The harness is green and brown and can be removed by unplugging the peg on the side and pulling it up and over the head and right arm.






His body is muscular and he sports some good details, including the hair on his torso, his man-bun and his eyes that are blue. You can also see veins in his arms, creases on his pants and a lot of muscle details throughout the body. He's Hercules, so he should be ripped.







The articulation is really good. He sports a ball jointed head, shoulders that are on ball joints with swivels, upper arm and thigh cuts, double jointed elbows and knees torso hinge that can crunch forward and backward a lot, waist swivel, and ankles that are hinged and can swivel up, down and to the sides. His wrists also have a swivel that allow them to bend in and out. You can get him into some good action fighting poses.





Though he only comes with 2 pairs of hands, if you own the Marvel Legends Namor, then the flat hands of that figure will fit into the sockets, so that gives you an extra pair of hands to pose him with. That's one of the benefits of owning multiple figures; you can interchange parts here and there.



Hercules is one of the better figures from the Marvel Legends line. He's fun to pose, nicely detailed, and has a good array of weapons. He will definitely stand out on your shelf.

Ultraman Omega finale

Episode 25, the series finale of Ultraman Omega aired this Friday. From the very first episode I was hooked, and the series continued to maintain a high quality until the surprisingly emotional end. Sorato (Omega) regained all his memories, learning that he was one of many Space Gazers, who's job is to watch a planet and not interfere with any wars between the species (in Earth's case, humans and kaiju). A space Gazer's job is to observe, study and take notes, to learn from a planet's successes and mistakes, in the hopes of finding the right formula to achieve universal peace. Having returned to his previous role as simply a watcher, Kosei, Ayumu and Sayuki were forced to rely on themselves and their team to defeat the powerful kaiju Zomera. As he continued to watch the battle, Sorato/Omega found himself wrestling with the inactive role he was meant to do and his memories of the friendships he had forged with the others, as well as the examples of human kindness he had ...

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. Figuarts Father of Ultra

Last week I received the latest SHF Showa Ultra figure, the one and only Father of Ultra, who made his debut in the series Ultraman Ace. He’s the 1st of the two Ultra related August releases I had pre-ordered (the other being Ace Killer). Father of Ultra is easily recognized by the huge horns on his head. The rest of his body is the standard red and silver color scheme that the other original Ultra brothers have (different colors wouldn’t be introduced until Ultraman Tiga decades later). Bandai did a fine job in capturing his look, much more accurate than the highly stylized Ultra Act version, which made him quite muscular. For his accessories, he comes with 6 pairs of hands (fists, two sets of holding, 2 sets of flat/karate chop, and grappling). He has an extra right flat hand that shoots out his signature beam, called the Father Shot. What makes this different from other releases is that the beam and hand are 2 separate pieces, with a clear plastic peg on the side of the fingers that...
