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.

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, ...

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...

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,...
