Opened Baltan & Toucon Boost today.



Toucon Boost is fine. It's the Ghost mold, but the metallic red is nice (though I could've done without the random flames on his body). Ore Damashii really should've used metallic orange instead of plain peach, because Specter & Toucon are so much more eye-catching complained to Original Recipe Ghost. Though I'm glad the eyecons aren't such a tight fit in the Sunglasseslasher that they get stuck in it forever, they're still so loose that they just flop around, and the sunglasses aren't tight against the handle so they can fall out at the right angle.



Baltan...well, as a figure, he's very nice. I wish the head could actually swivel a bit, the lack of a toe joint seems odd given how big they are, and no energy effects? Really? That aside, the figure itself is nice and dynamic.

It's not easy to tell from this pic, but it's a bit shorter than the average Ultra-Act (the very tip of his head is only taller than an Ultra-Act if you bend the Ultra-Act's knees at least a bit), which is something I'm not thrilled by, but I don't expect others to be bothered by it. As someone who loves the Ultra-Act line, though the size difference isn't small enough to get legitimately aggravated by, I still wish we were getting an OG Baltan or Zetton that were perfectly compatible with Ultra-Acts as they were the SHF Ultras. It's a fine figure, but compared to Ultra-Acts, it manages to feel underwhelming.



Anyways, here's an updated "red" shelf. It's getting a weeeee bit crowded.
