Marvel Legends Jocasta


Jocasta is a character who was created by Ultron as his mate. Ultimately, she betrayed him and joined the Avengers. Marvel Legends have released her in their latest wave.







Jocasta comes with only 2 sets of hands (fists and relaxed palms) and the torso for the build a figure Hulk in Joe Fixit outfit. Jocasta is gray and silver, with red eyes. Her appearance is unique, her head sculpt resembling a cobra or Egyptian goddess. I think she looks great, her design is simple yet odd.







The articulation is pretty good. Ball jointed head, shoulders with ball joint and hinge, upper  torso on ball joint, single jointed elbows, double jointed knees, upper arm and thigh cuts, hinged wrists, ball jointed thighs and those hinge swivel ankle rockers that Marvel Legends give many of their figures for effective, expressive stands. She can balance well on one foot and can do enough poses to make her fun. 








Marvel Legends Jocasta is a unique, cool figure and is a lesser known character, even though she was an Avenger. She had good articulation, and even though she doesn't have much accessories, these figures aren't expensive, so it's acceptable, at least in her case (unlike characters like Spiderman or Deadpool which would benefit from more). I think she turned out just fine.

    I've never heard of her but she reminds me of Maria from the film Metropolis or the early concept art for C-3PO.

      She reminds me of Maria from Metropolis as well. She also resembles an Ultraman villain.

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

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
