S.H. Figuarts Sailor Chibi Moon


This week I received Sailor Chibi Moon, the daughter of Sailor Moon and Tuxedo Mask. Like the other sailor scouts, she’s dressed in a mini skirt, gloves, boots, bow in front and at back. She sports thick ponytails, with curly bangs coming down the front. Her color scheme is pink and white. She’s smaller than the others, a little under 4” tall.









Sailor Chibi comes with 4 face plates (smiling, open mouth smiling, frowning, open mouth yelling), 6 pairs of hands (fists, relaxed, open palm, holding, pointing and peace sign), a pink moon stick, an alternate pair of bangs, and a stand with her name on it. The portraits are replaced by removing her bangs and switching them out. The wrist pegs are small but seem to be thick and sturdy, so switching hands is easy. Other than a small streak of pink paint on her right arm, everything else is painted and sculpted nicely.








Her articulation includes ball jointed head, ball jointed ponytails, ball jointed shoulders and thighs, single jointed elbows and knees, swiveled elbows, wrists and upper torso on ball peg, and ball jointed ankle rockers. Her thighs have a bit of a swivel, but the range is limited. She can stand on her own, but like the rest of the scouts, she’ll most likely need the stand to keep her from falling over, since her thick ponytails can make her head top heavy. The moon stick fits snuggly in her holding hands, and despite its small size, it’s sculpted and painted well.









S.H. Figuarts Sailor Chibi Moon is a another cool release from their Sailor Moon line. Since she’s so small, you may want to use caution when switching out her wrists or displaying her with her moon stick, as they are all tiny and could easily get lost if you were to accidentally drop one. Otherwise, feel free to pose her with the rest of the scouts, or in a crossover display with other characters.

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,...

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...

S.H. MonsterArts Anguirus 1972

One of my most anticipated figure releases of 2025 was finally delivered this last week. Godzilla's trusty sidekick, S. H. MonsterArts Anguirus (based on the 1972 suit). From the early video and photo reviews I had seen, he looked to have turned out a great figure. Now that I have him in hand, he absolutely is! This Ankylosaurus is based on the suit that was introduced in 1968's Destroy All Monsters, and made subsequent appearances in Godzilla vs. Gigan (72), Godzilla vs. Megalon (73), and Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla (74). Anguirus was the 2nd Toho monster to ever appear on screen, dueling with the big G in 1955's Godzilla Raids Again. For the later films, he became Godzilla's buddy, helping him out in his various battles. I'm a bit surprised that it took Bandai this long to release Anguirus in the MonsterArts line, as he's one of the more popular kaiju, but better late than never. He's painted in a chocolate brown, with pale yellow on his various spikes, hor...
