S.H. Figuarts Endgame Final Battle Captain America


My first Captain America figure that I own. When the previous Endgame release came out, it sold out quite fast, so I missed out. Plus, that one didn't come with much accessories, so I thought I'd wait to see if a better version was announced. Then this one was announced, and with all the extras included, I knew this was the Figuarts Cap to get. 






This Cap comes with 3 heads (unmasked, masked neutral expression and masked gritty expression), 2 shields (regular and broken), Mjolnir, 3 effect pieces for the Mjolnir, 2 regular shield straps, one shield strap for the arm, one to plug into his back, and 5 pairs of hands (fists, strap holding to plug into shield, relaxed, relaxed with peg to hold shield in hand, and to hold Mjolnir). And another accessory that plugs into the shield and his pegged hand to hold it. With all these hands and extras, you have mostly everything to re-create his final battle.






This is the same figure as the previous Endgame release, only they added a grayish wash to give him a dirty, dusty appearance. The head sculpts are decent enough. They resemble Chris Evans, though not 100%. Still, they're much nicer than the God awful Infinity War release, which looked like a bad Nicholas Cage wax figure. One thing about the unmasked head is that there's a seam line in the middle of his head that's visible when looking at the profile angle. Everything else on the sculpt is good.






As for articulation, he has a head & neck on ball joints, ball jointed & swivel shoulders, double jointed elbows & knees, ball jointed waist & torso, drop down ball jointed thighs and very slight ankle pivots and toe hinge. The ankles have very limited range, going down a bit, barely up or to the sides. His torso has really good range, especially to the sides and backwards, with decent ab crunch. As for his arms, while they don't have upper arm cut, the elbows, once bent in all the way, suddenly give the forearm a wide pivot to the sides. It seems to "snap into place" only when elbows are bent in the farthest. It's an interesting bit of engineering. The shoulders have a slight butterfly joint, and can snap down and around. With the exception of the ankles, all the other joints come together to create some good poses. 





The straps for the shield peg into 2 sets of holes that fit nice and snug once snapped into place. There's a small piece on his back that can be pulled out to plug in the back piece so he can carry his shield on his body. His gripping hands hold the Mjolnir nicely, no looseness. When holding his shield or Mjolnir, the added weight makes his forearm pivots a bit loose, but you can position them into place and they will hold their pose. And the energy effect pieces for the Mjolnir snap into place when removing the sides and top round piece, that comes out easily by pressing the edge. 



Ever since I watched The Winter Soldier (one of the best MCU films), Captain America started to really grow on me as a character. Steve Rogers had heart, integrity and always stood for what was right. I was happy to see that he ended his run by going back in time and living out his life with his true love Peggy Carter. Chris Evans brought him to life and made him one of the most important characters in the MCU. I'm glad to finally have a decent figure of his Cap. This release is worthy!

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 ...
