Happy Cinco de Mayo!



Seihou Ultraman: My first Ultra figure, when I haven't even properly gotten into the franchise yet. While I was considering waiting for the Deluxe MAFEX figure of Shin Ultraman, I instead opted to get this guy instead. Glad I did too, because it's an all around great figure.



Omega Forever expansion of the Power Rangers card game.



LC Morphed Ken and Cammy: Honestly? Don't bother. These designs done by Hasbro are really lackluster compared to the ones of Ryu and Chun-Li done by the BFTG team. Like, Cammy's isn't terrible, I guess, but Ken's' design is just baffling. Why the upside-down gloves? Why the bare arms? Why the picture of SFV Ken when this costume is clearly based off of SFII Ken? They did my favorite Street Fighter character dirty.



Power Rangers ULTIMATES! Goldar: You should absolutely give this guy a warm bath before playing with him, because those joints are really tight right out of the box. That aside, I dig this guy. The articulation leaves alot to be desired, but the sculpting, paintwork, and great spread of accessories more than makes up for it, I feel. That said, should Hasbro ever make a 7-inch Goldar as part of their Deluxe line? That'd be a very strong contender for sure.



SHF Upgrade's' bendy feathers for Tajador Eternal: These came out alot better than I thought they would. They look almost exactly like the feathers that come on the Seihou itself, and being able to pose them really adds wonders to the posing options of the figure itself. I definitely recommend getting these.



Riobot Tekkaman Blade Blaster Mode



ML Moon Knight: While I'm not as familiar with the character as I'd like to be, I've always loved this costume best for Moon Knight. The contrast between the black and white just really does it for me.



Infinitism Mazinger ZERO: Another model kit to add to the unbuilt pile!



Transformers Armada Universe Hot Shot: Starscream was my favorite Decepticon, and now I have Hot Shot, my favorite Autobot. And just like Starscream, I think that he's overall just okay. Like, I'm happy to have him, but the figure in and of itself isn't anything spectacular, though I don't think I could expect too much more given the price. Still, if any third party company ever does upgrade kits for the two? I'd absolutely get 'em.



SHF Final Form Frieza(Repaint), SS4 Goku, & SS4 Vegeta: Not gonna lie, I am 100% on board with Tamashii doing reissues with better paint jobs. Especially for figures I don't have yet. While I do wish Frieza still had his old energy effect instead of the Dragon Ball, it's not a big deal: That paint job is beautiful in person! As for the SS4s... they're both alright. They have the typical problems have the 3.0 Saiyan bodies do, unfortunately. But, for what they are, I like them well enough.
