Alot of pre-orders came in this month.



Toyrise Ryukendo: It's essentially a glorified basic figure, but hey, Ryukendo ended up being a show that I grew fond of, and I'm happy to have this on the shelf. The new Armored form looks cool too.



Mezco Samurai Jack: This figure is a real mixed bag. Aesthetically it looks nice and I love the accessory loadout, but his articulation is way limited for no good reason. It's mainly the ankles, for which there's really no excuse for them being so limited. I'd say get this figure on discount if you can. Definitely don't pay more than the original price for it.



Figma 2B and A2: Overall great figures. Especially 2B who, while not perfect, is probably the best overall 2B figure we've gotten to date.



SHF The Next KR-2 w/ Bike: Slightly improved from the KR-1 SRC, mainly due to the improved joint quality in the lower legs. Now we just need V3.



Figma Other M & Prime 3 Samus Reissues: While these figures aren't nearly as awesome as Figma's' Dread Samus figure, they still hold up surprisingly well despite being so old.



Jada Helmetless Megaman: It's a glorified accessory pack for the original Megaman, sure, but it's still a fun, well put together toy in its own right.



Zone of the Enders Anime Collection: An underrated gem of a mecha anime, and a tie-in to a great video game series at that. It's not often you see a middle-aged father as a protagonist, and the story itself is great besides.



Figma MGS2 Solid Snake V2: So here's the thing. Is this figure updated from the original? Yes, but barely. As a result, rather than feeling like something brand new, it moreso just feels like one of the nicer figures from about a decade ago. So if you're fine with that, then yeah, pick him up. If not, wait for Revoltech I guess.



Mezco Animated Series Batman & Joker: Reviews for both of these figures have been mostly negative, and having them in hand, yeah, I can see why. Both are riddled with problems, and given we now live in a world where 3rd party companies have proven that clothed action figures can be done so much better, Mezco doesn't have much of an excuse. But, are they the best figures of these versions of the characters we have so far? Yes, unfortunately.



Nendoroid Alastor: I unfortunately doubt we'll ever see proper action figures for Hazbin Hotel, so this is the next best thing. I hope this line continues with more than just Alastor. Would especially loves to see Angel Dust.
