I've been on more of a Showa kick lately. (I say "lately" like my "Showa kick" hasn't been going on for most of my life.) I have one site which listed Jack as "backordered" rather than "sold out" or "discontinued," so I am hoping something comes of that. I've got a bid going on eBay for Ultraseven, also.

And of course I just saw on the front page that Zoffy is being reissued which is AWESOME!

Nexus is pretty damn cool! His colors are great, as you pointed out (love the bits of clear plastic they used on his chest and back); that and his sculpt give him a very sleek look. Pretty sturdy on his feet and his effects parts are nice. The effect piece shown in the pic is two pieces that clip together and is a little finicky to get just right (you have to angle his arms and wrist into proper position, add the first piece and then clip the second piece on), but as long as you're patient you should be fine.

It was a spur-of-the-moment purchase (It was literally a "Hey, here's a news story saying this is out now...and it's still in stock on AmiAmi. Fuck it, it's mine!"-type purchase), but a very gratifying one! Of the four Ultra-Acts I own I'm not sure which is my favorite (I enjoy each one quite a bit) but Nexus is the one I enjoy fiddling with the most, and not just because from a "new toy" perspective.
