Jazwares Fortnight Legendary Series Recruit Jonesy

I had a little $ leftover from an Amazon gift card, so I came across this figure, for only $14. Since Jazwares no longer has the license to make Fortnite figures, I figured I might as well get him, especially at that low, below retail price. Plus, I'd always wanted to get me one of their Jonesy figures anyway.

Jonesy is dressed in military style brown cargo pants, with a green jacket and gray long sleeve shirt underneath. He appears to also have some type of grayish collar around his neck from another undershirt. At first I thought they had messed up and accidentally painted his neck the wrong color, but you can see a paint line that differentiates between where the collar ends and his neck begins, right under the head. For his accessories, he comes with 3 face plates (frowning, a slight smile, and a goofy smile), a Standard Pickaxe Harvesting Tool, Suppressed Assault Rifle, Tactical Shotgun, Proximity Mine Weapon, and Back Board Back Bling (a skateboard). He's painted and sculpted nicely, as are his various accessories.

His articulation is the standard that you find on other Jazwares Fortnite figures, including double jointed elbows and knees, and hinged fingers. One thing about this guy is that his hands don't wrap around too well on the rifles, making it difficult for him to hold his guns. I know past figures have had that issue, but on most of mine, I've been able to get the weapons in snuggly. With this one, it's been more of a challenge. Other than that, his articulation is good and I'm able to pose him fairly well.

Since I own the Rabbit Raider figure, the Jonesy face plates for that one fit well on this one, so I can mix and match, giving both figures options for slightly different portraits.

I know that there's another Jonesy figure without sleeves, and if I ever come across that one, I most likely will get it. I saw that one on Amazon, too, but they had it for $39, so I'll wait to see if I can find one cheaper than that. Though the prices on them may continue to rise as they are no longer in production from Jazwares, so who knows if I'm able to pick up some more?

Jazwares Fortnite Legendary Series Recruit Jonesy is yet another great release (from last year) from this now cancelled line. They had a good run and put out some good quality, fun figures. If you were lucky enough to pick some up, I bet you still enjoy them, as I do.

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,...
