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).

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...

Julie Darling (1983) / Them aka Hellmaster (1992)

From the YouTube channel 42nd Street Films Grindhouse, I watched this twisted thriller about a young girl with an unnatural and creepy fixation with her father, and her attempts to get rid of anyone who threatens to take away his attention. Julie has a strained relationship with her mother, causing fights and arguments with her. She seems to be disturbingly attached to her father Harold (Anthony Franciosa), who also seems to have a strained relationship with his wife, but appears clueless about his daughter’s creepy fixation with him. One day while he’s away, the mother is attacked and killed by a delivery guy. Julie, armed with a gun, watches the entire thing from upstairs, doing nothing to come to her aid. With the mother now dead and out of the picture, Julie is happy to have her father all to herself. Her newfound joy is shattered when Harold, who’s been having an affair with a woman named Susan, decides to marry this woman, inviting her and her young son to live with he and Julie....

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 ...
