Marvel Legends Domino


The latest Marvel Legends figure I got was Domino from Deadpool 2. Her character in the film was very cool and memorable. Even though she looked very different from the comic book version, actress Zazie Beetz made the character a lot of fun. Marvel Legends did her justice in action figure form.







She comes with 2 heads (one smirking, one neutral), 2 pairs of hands (fists and gun holding), a black gun and 2 uzi machine guns. She's dressed in her blue/grey suit with tall boots and long arm gloves. Both the heads are nicely painted and detailed, though they don't fully capture the actress' likeness. The sculpt is very detailed, with the patterns of her body suit, to the many laces on her boots, and her weapons harness and even a necklace. There is a small spot of extra tan paint on her torso, and the blade on one of her uzi's is slightly bent, but that can be fixed with some heat (and a cotton swab with a little alcohol may fix the paint mark).





The articulation is pretty nice. Head on a ball joint, ball jointed hinged shoulders that have a good amount of range, single jointed elbows that swivel, hinged wrists, ball jointed upper torso and waist, ball jointed thighs, upper thigh cut, double jointed knees and hinged ankles that swivel to the sides. Despite her elbows only being single jointed, due to the swivel, this gives them extra articulation so that you can get a little more out of them than a basic single joint would allow. Still, it is odd that Marvel Legends doesn't usually give their female figures double jointed elbows. However, I was still able to pose her pretty well.









Marvel Legends did a good job with the movie version of Domino. She's a mutant with the ability to subconsciously and psionically initiate random telekinetic acts that affect probability in her favor, or in other words, her super power is luck. Her action figure turned out just fine, so I guess luck was on her side (again).

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. MonsterArts Godzilla Evolved Version (2024)

Early last week, this figure was delivered. It is the Evolved Godzilla from the film Godzilla vs. Kong: The New Empire, from S.H. MonsterArts. I admit, I haven’t bothered to watch the movie. When I first saw the trailer (about a month after having watched Godzilla Minus One and still being on a high from it), the trailer for The New Empire dropped, and I thought it looked stupid as fuck, especially this bad CGI scene of Godzilla and Kong running towards the camera like superheroes. The rest of it looked like Planet of the Apes, so I chose to pass. However, I do think Godzilla’s new evolved look is pretty cool, so when S.H. MonsterArts announced his figure, I went ahead and preordered it. And now, Pinkzilla is finally here. Godzilla Evolved has a sleeker, leaner body, with a bigger head and pink dorsal spines. His tail ends in pink spikes, like an ankylosaurus. The figure turned out looking great, with the spines painted but also translucent, really standing out from the rest of his bod...

RICSAN Custom Toys The Unbelievable (Varan)

For the last few months, I had been seeing photos and YouTube reviews of custom Godzilla kaiju from someone known as RICSAN Customs. He’s a guy in Mexico who makes 3rd party customs of articulated figures that no other company is making. Due to licensing issues, he gives them different names, such as The Dream Ogre and The Infant (Gabara and Minilla), Monster from Odo Island (pre-mutated Godzilla Minus One), Sō Shingeki Serpent (Manda), etc. This one is called The Unbelievable, and is basically the Toho monster from the film Varan (aka Varan the Unbelievable from the English dub). His figures are made of resin and use thick string articulation instead of ball joints (similar to Meego figures). So they are articulated and posable, you just need to be aware that they’ll move differently from standard ball joint figures, so practice a bit more care when handling them. Ok, let’s get the one negative out of the way. He packs his figures in styrofoam, and since that stuff can be sticky, my V...
