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.

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

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

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. MonsterArts Anguirus 1972

One of my most anticipated figure releases of 2025 was finally delivered this last week. Godzilla's trusty sidekick, S. H. MonsterArts Anguirus (based on the 1972 suit). From the early video and photo reviews I had seen, he looked to have turned out a great figure. Now that I have him in hand, he absolutely is! This Ankylosaurus is based on the suit that was introduced in 1968's Destroy All Monsters, and made subsequent appearances in Godzilla vs. Gigan (72), Godzilla vs. Megalon (73), and Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla (74). Anguirus was the 2nd Toho monster to ever appear on screen, dueling with the big G in 1955's Godzilla Raids Again. For the later films, he became Godzilla's buddy, helping him out in his various battles. I'm a bit surprised that it took Bandai this long to release Anguirus in the MonsterArts line, as he's one of the more popular kaiju, but better late than never. He's painted in a chocolate brown, with pale yellow on his various spikes, hor...

RicSan Custom Toys Kyōrū Kaiju (Titanosaurus)

My latest kaiju figure purchase is the Titanosaurus made by Ricsan Custom Toys. I own and love the Varan & Gabara, so of course I had to preorder this one when it was available. He was delivered earlier this week. This kaiju hails from the last Godzilla film of the Showa era, 1975's Terror of Mechagodzilla. The Black Hole aliens are back, rebuilding their robot in another effort to take over the planet. They enlist the help of an ostracized Earth scientist named Mafune and his daughter Katsura, who are able to control an aquatic dinosaur named Titanosaurus. They plan to use both kaiju and mecha to attack Japan. Titano was a cool monster, with his tail that opened into a fish fin, and he would use it to create whirlpools in the sea, and high winds on land. I'm hoping that S.H. Monsterarts makes one for the 50th anniversary of the film, but when I saw this Ricsan Custom version, I couldn't pass it up. Titanosaurus (called the Kyōrū Kaiju), comes in a white box, with its n...
