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 Godzilla Minus One

Right before the opening of the new Toho film Godzilla Minus One in the US, I received the figure from Bandai Tamashii Nations from that film. It was officially released last weekend, and about a day before that, some photos were popping up online of the final product, appearing with a very dark and bad paint job. Drama rose up in one of the kaiju figure groups I'm a part of, with one idiot in particular proclaiming that the S.H. MonsterArts line was done, despite having not gotten the actual figure in hand before he could judge for himself. After multiple posts trashing the figure and stating that Bandai was dead, he received the figure and then gave it a good rating (8 out of 10), making himself look like a damn fool in the process. I admit that those initial photos had me worried, but I decided to wait until I saw some YouTube reviews to see how it actually turned out to make my judgement (I pre-ordered it from a site where you don't pay for it until it's actually in sto

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. Monsterarts Rodan &Mothra 2019 set

My Rodan and Mothra set finally arrived after being delayed for a few weeks. After spending a few days going over them, I've had time to really assess them. They're both decent, but there are some issues. Let's dig in! As far as sculpt, Rodan fairs better than Mothra. Everything from the wings, face, torso and legs on Rodan are well done and nicely capture his condor-like look from the film. The face, legs and body of Mothra is sculpted in a very simple, dull manner, lacking any real detail or pattern. Part of it I think is that her body is so small it doesn't leave much room for details. Another thing that was pointed out to me by someone on social media is that Monsterarts may have based their Mothra on early concept artwork as opposed to her actual look in the film. The result is a smooth, crude design that, upon close inspection, resembles a Play-Do sculpture. If this was the case, Tamashii Nations really should've waited until they saw w
