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.

Ultraman Omega finale

Episode 25, the series finale of Ultraman Omega aired this Friday. From the very first episode I was hooked, and the series continued to maintain a high quality until the surprisingly emotional end. Sorato (Omega) regained all his memories, learning that he was one of many Space Gazers, who's job is to watch a planet and not interfere with any wars between the species (in Earth's case, humans and kaiju). A space Gazer's job is to observe, study and take notes, to learn from a planet's successes and mistakes, in the hopes of finding the right formula to achieve universal peace. Having returned to his previous role as simply a watcher, Kosei, Ayumu and Sayuki were forced to rely on themselves and their team to defeat the powerful kaiju Zomera. As he continued to watch the battle, Sorato/Omega found himself wrestling with the inactive role he was meant to do and his memories of the friendships he had forged with the others, as well as the examples of human kindness he had ...

S.H. Figuarts Father of Ultra

Last week I received the latest SHF Showa Ultra figure, the one and only Father of Ultra, who made his debut in the series Ultraman Ace. He’s the 1st of the two Ultra related August releases I had pre-ordered (the other being Ace Killer). Father of Ultra is easily recognized by the huge horns on his head. The rest of his body is the standard red and silver color scheme that the other original Ultra brothers have (different colors wouldn’t be introduced until Ultraman Tiga decades later). Bandai did a fine job in capturing his look, much more accurate than the highly stylized Ultra Act version, which made him quite muscular. For his accessories, he comes with 6 pairs of hands (fists, two sets of holding, 2 sets of flat/karate chop, and grappling). He has an extra right flat hand that shoots out his signature beam, called the Father Shot. What makes this different from other releases is that the beam and hand are 2 separate pieces, with a clear plastic peg on the side of the fingers that...

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,...
