あああ~! I grew up watching stuff like this, I especially love Lam Ching-ying in these films. I have a bunch of them on old HK DVDs, but I haven't watched them in years, as I get squeamish about the chicken that is sacrificed during one part in the first movie.

Lam Ching-ying (林正英)

I've taken a liking to HK martial arts/comedy films recently. I'm super glad to have all of these now.

They're such good fun. I guess I'm kind of biased in that Hong Kong will always have a place in my heart so of course I'm going to recommend these old movies, but there's such wonder in them, and they're made with such passion and creativity.

Not every film is a diamond, of course, but when you find those good ones, they're magic.

I found more SW figures are Walmart this week:
the Mandalorian figures, and half of the new Archives wave: Hoth Luke and Grand Admiral Thrawn.

And I finished off the Halo wave with Kat (side note, I JUST Monday night finished playing through Halo Reach for the first time ever, with my 12 year old. We were sad that everyone died. But we had a lot of fun, so I've ordered The Master Chief Collection, so we can play through the numbered Halo games, of which I've only completed the first one, and only two or three levels of Halo 3).
And found the Scarlet Witch / Vision 2 pack reissue.

I really hope they make a Carson Teva Black Series figure

It wouldn't be high on my list, but I'd consider buying it.
I'd totally buy Mayfield, from either The Prisoner or The Believer.
Fennec Shand, and new Boba Fett, of course.

Did they make the full NOBLE team from Halo?

That is one of my favorite games ever.

i managed to find the boomtower figure, alongside vargoyle, so i got both of them.

vargoyle is good! obviously missing paint in places, his eyes not being blue is the weirdest part, but the accessories and ball-jointed arms allow for some cool poses even without proper leg articulation.

boomtower is... bad. straight up bad. tons of missing paint apps, he's flattened down from his actual design (presumably to fit in the box, but still), and he overall looks way too skinny for the big bruiser bad guy.

the missing paint apps are inexcusable for the most part too, because almost all of it is the gold checker patterns, when the figure ALREADY has gold paint! i cannot tell you how much better the figure would look with just those pits of paint, he's so beige without them. i can count at least 15 spots on the figure that should have colors that are already on it. and obviously there's the ugly foil stickers.

he doesn't have balljoints despite those being the standard on most of the beast morpher villain figures, maybe because of his shoulder pads, but it makes it impossible to actually put him in any poses.

like i said, it barely looks like him, his shoulder pads are smaller, his chest is flat, his crest is shortened... ultra disappointing after even the bandai of america villain toys tried to be super accurate to the suits, but especially after the beast morphers figures.

also inexplicably his forearms are separate pieces? they're incredibly loose and can pop off with very little force. they're on pegs so you'd think it would be for forearm articulation but it really does not work.

his weapon is good though, even if its missing paint, but i can at least excuse that.

it'd be a real shame if this is the only villain figure we're getting for dino fury, like everything seems to be pointing to. even when they only released a single general, bandai of america at least TRIED to make them on par with the rangers. fury is still one of the best figures period of the last 5 years

This is only first wave of the line, so Kat is the only Noble team member so far. I have been told the contents of wave 2 have leaked, and it will have Emile. That makes me think they're planning to do all of Noble team in the first few waves.

Ooh that's promising. I've never bought a figure from that line or company. Are they nice?
