Ricsan Custom Toys Behemoth


The latest monster action figure that I received was the Ricsan Custom Toys Behemoth. It's a paleosaurus dinosaur creature with multiple points of articulation.



This figure is based on the monster from the 1959 film The Giant Behemoth, about an aquatic dinosaur that emits an electric pulse that's saturated with radiation. He ends up attacking London as scientists try to figure out a way to destroy it. It's a decent movie with a cool monster and his radioactive attacks. It's similar to The Beast From 20,000 Fathoms (of which Ricsan Custom Toys has also produced a figure of).










The monster resembles a brontosaurus, with four legs, a thick body, and a long neck with bumps along the back of his head, all the way down his tail. The figure is painted a dark green, with lighter highlights along the underside of his torso and belly. The eyes are white with red irises and black pupils. The inside of the mouth is painted pink, with his teeth and nails a dull bone white. There is a small smear of black paint on the left side of his torso. The accessories included with the figure are four 3D printed vehicles. Three are tanks and one is a maser cannon. These are all unpainted. The figure is sculpted nicely, capturing in detail a lot of reptilian skin patterns throughout its body. The figure is pretty accurate to his screen counterpart. Utilizing string joints, Behemoth contains 26 points of articulation, including his jaw, many segments of the neck, torso, legs and tail. He's able to stand on his hind legs and twist his neck around in many directions.

















Ricsan Custom Toys Behemoth is another really good release from this independent toy maker. He looks great, moves well, and being in the 1:12 scale, he fits well with the rest of my kaiju and Ultra action figures. I'm happy to own an articulated representation of this radioactive menace. You can check out Ricsan's stuff on Instagram, where there will be a link to the official web page for ordering his figures. I'm looking forward to what other movie monsters he does next.

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 ...

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,...

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...
