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.

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...
