January Haul is in with a vengeance!




"SHOCKER!!! YOU CAN'T ESCAPE MEEE!!! I'LL CHASE YOU DOWN TO THE ENDS OF THE EARRRTHH!!!!!"

MAFEX Black Suit Spider-Man is an excellent figure for the most part. I just wish this trend of hard plastic butts that's been happening with figure lines would stop, as they really kill leg articulation. I've also seen reviews where the white spider logo is really messed up on other people's' copies, but mine came out fine. Not perfect, but nothing to really fret over.

The Marvel Legends Shocker was on clearance at my local GameStop, and he's actually a pretty solid figure overall, especially on discount. I'll definitely need to panel line him with a brown Gundam marker once I get a spare sec though. Wish his knees were the same yellow as the rest of him too.

Speaking of discounted figures...




Morphed Ryu and Chun-Li I also found at a discount(not a big one, but still), and I think they're essentially what we can expect from the upcoming Remastered line of LC figures. They're nice for what they are, but as usual, Hasbro has no idea how to properly implement drop-down hips and double ball peg necks. The necks are especially frustrating because the top ball has literally zero room to move due to the way the socket is made, so the ball at the bottom of the neck is gonna be doing all the work -- which ain't much, given the Shields already hindering movement.




A Mythic Legions Skeleton and Goblin to help fill out my mook army. They're nice for what they are. No real complaints.



This is the second Gun Pack from McFarlane Toys and it's about on par with the first one. There's a bit more paint than the last, which is nice. But yeah, if you want guns for 7-inch figures, these'll have you covered.



Due to recent events in the Dragon Ball Super manga, I got in on the second run of the Demoniacal Fit Tenacious Martial Artist, primary to have an Ultra Instinct Sign Goku figure. And what's funny is that it's actually better than the Event Exclusive from last year. Not just in terms of sheer accessory count, but also in QC. The EE was noted in many of the reviews I watched as having some rather loose joints, whereas, atleast on my copy, this figure is pretty solidly put together. No idea what I'll do with the spare Jiren head though, given that I don't plan on getting his SHF anytime soon.



While I've never read Knightfall, I really love the design of the Azreal Batman, so I went ahead and picked up the MAFEX figure to add to my Bat-Family collection. A wonderful piece of work as always, though those hard plastic spikes make me very nervous about if this guy ever takes a fall.



And lastly, a month early early birthday present from the same friend who got me the ZAP Megazord, the ZAP Dragonzord actually came out as the better of the two, I think. Like the Megazord though, I don't think it's perfect, but it's much better than expected, and I think I'll have it displayed in Warrior Mode since I don't have a figure of that combination.
