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.

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...

S.H. MonsterArts Godzilla 1991 Shinjuku Decisive Battle version

The latest Godzilla figure I pre-ordered from the S.H. MonsterArts line has arrived. It is the 1991 Shinjuku Decisive Battle version, to go along with the Mecha King Ghidorah release from earlier this year. While the suit is almost the same as the one used in 1989's Godzilla vs. Biollante, they made some slight adjustments. Compared to the BioGoji figure, this one is much thicker, therefore, he does look different from that other release. His sculpt is the classic 90's era Heisei look, with small head, thick thighs, large dorsal spines and a long tail. Like all the other Godzilla suits of that decade, he has a cat-like face, both cute and menacing. While the King of the Monsters has had multiple looks throughout his 50+ years, it's the Heisei era that seems the most iconic. Artwork, toys, comics, etc, have all utilized this particular design. Similar to the 89 suit, this 91 figure has a small set of dorsal spines, followed by a much larger one, and then gradually getting sm...

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 ...
