Jazwares Fortnite Legendary Series Meowscles

At the same Target trip that I picked up the MEGO Phantom Masque, I also found this guy. I had been wanting him since I saw reviews some months ago. He was finally in stock at my local store, so now he joins my collection of assorted heroes, monsters and all around weird characters.

Meowscles, like all the other Jazwares Fortnite figures, comes packed with extras. He has 2 different face plates (regular smiling and closed eyed open mouth), 2 guns, 2 blades, and a crossbow that actually works. You simply press the trigger and it launches the arrow. Pretty cool. Meowscles is a buff cat in jeans, wearing boots, a belt and shoulder straps with a gun harness at each side, where his 2 guns can fit into. You can also slide his blades onto his harness at the back, though they aren't secure and may slip out depending on how you position them. Other than that, he's a cool cat.

His articulation is the usual great stuff we've come to expect from Jazwares, including head on a ball jointed hinge, slight butterfly joints at the shoulders, ball jointed, hinged shoulders, double jointed elbows and knees, upper arm and leg swivel, upper torso on ball joint, hinged swivel wrists with finger hinge, ball jointed thighs, toe hinge, and his tail is hinged with a swivel that can turn a full 360. He can do all the usual action poses with a little bit of effort and balancing.

This figure is really fun and unusual, to say the least. Jazwares did a great job rendering him in action figure form. I'll admit that I have never played the game, but the action figures based on these characters (or skins, as they're called) are so unique, I couldn't resist. That they're well articulated and come with a good chunk of accessories is what kept me buying them. Meowscles is so bizarre, with his very small head, muscular torso and arms, Lynx heart tattoo, and what appears to be a communication earpiece in his right ear, as well as his nice assortment of weapons. Who wouldn't want a feline that pumps iron and kicks ass?

Jazwares Fortnite Legendary Series Meowscles is one of their coolest and best releases. He'll make a great addition to your Jazwares Fortnite collection (if you have one), and/or will fit well with Marvel Legends, super hero or monster figures. I usually try to only get the ones that really appeal to me, and this swole cat does just that.

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,...
