The Jada Toys Street Fighter figures are fantastic. Enjoy Ryu!

Brought in my haul for the month.



Spider-Man 2099 Omnibus Vol. 1: The original 90s comics all in one massive book. Seriously, if you've never read them, go for it. Miguel O'Hara became one of my favorite Spider-Men, and I'm so glad I decided to check his story out when I did, especially since it helped me to see just how badly Across the Spider-Verse ruined 2099's' character.



SHF Integrated Suit Spider-Man (Final Battle Edition): Minorly better than the default release of the suit. Now I just gotta wait for Andrew...



MAFEX Huntress & Nightwing: Medicom continues to knock it out of the park with their Hush line. Absolutely love both of these figures and I don't see myself replacing them anytime soon.



McFarlane Toys Medieval Spawn: A solid enough figure. I mainly just wish there was some drybrushing on the gray parts to make them look less cheap. That skull on his codpiece is especially bad in this regard.



Acrylic stand for Zero from GARO: I have no idea why Zero got a logo stand before GARO did, but sure, I'll take it.



Lightning Collection Tenga Warrior 2-Pack: I still consider the Tenga Warrior to be the best Mook figure that Hasbro has made to date, in any line, and these repaints are no exception. Highly recommend getting them if you're a Troop Builder.



ZAP Astro Megazord: Much better executed all around than the Dino Megazord was. You can tell is more in the team's' wheelhouse, given they used to do Transformers.



Moderoid Big O: Another model kit to add to my backlog. But, it's still one of my favorite mecha of all time, so hopefully the build won't be too much of a pain when I finally get to it.



SHF Super Vegeta and SHF Future Trunks 2.0: Vegeta is a fantastic repaint. If you don't already have the original, absolutely get this. It's a beautiful figure just like most of the recent repaints have been.

Trunks, however... I have a serious bone to pick with it, especially since Trunks is one of my favorite characters period. First off, as per usual with the figures made in Vietnam, the QC is absolutely garbage. His arm came detached inside the box, and half his joints are loose and the figure feels very awful to handle.

And while certain aspects of the sculpt are good(the head sculpts are especially great), decisions made elsewhere are baffling, such as the jacket being massively cut up in a nonsensical way that doesn't even allow for more articulation. The articulation in general is also very limited across the board.

Horrible ankles, the awful 3.0 hips, and more limited movement in general that there's no excuse for. Honestly, if you have the old release, stick with that. If Demoniacal Fit ever makes an improved knockoff like they have been for certain figures, you'd better believe I'm replacing this.



Can of Beams Effects: New colors for the lightning and wave effects. Very cool!

I'm really looking forward to the Jada Toys Ryu. It's already in my BBTS pile of loot but I'm waiting on other items

Man, bummer to hear the Trunks figure didn't turn out to your liking. I don't collect DBZ Figuarts but that figure looked amazing. I've seen the new kid Naruto figure is coming out of Vietnam, hopefully my copy turns out all right

Be cautious. Most of the Vietnam releases for figuarts have had one issue or another. Even reissues aren't immune, as seen with the SS4 Goku figure.

I also picked up the US releases of Vegeta and Trunks. I happened to have a third party head for the Vegeta body, so I popped it on, but I liked the Super Saiyan head for Vegeta so much that I put it on the Super Hero body. The skin tones for Superhero body and Super Saiyan head do not match exactly, but it looks good enough for me

Also popped on the Kamen Rider Black Sun head and chest piece that came with the bike. I?m probably going to pose the, uh, ?human? figure with the bike when I get that.

My trunks is ok for the upper body, but his legs are floppy as heck. I figure I will leave him in that pose and not fiddle around with the figure too much. I agree that a figure this good deserves better QC. Hopefully the Vietnam plants improve.

Sakura and Lovekov next to Black Sun is a very funny combination. Gay kid and her plush tsuchinoko who lives in her brain meets the Rider who disemboweled a guy in his first episode

I keep going back and forth on whether I want to pick up the Black Sun figure. I feel like the figure release got clouded by all the Shin Kamen Rider and Geats releases. Hopefully I can find it for a nice aftermarket price eventually. I'm fond of the SIC designs and the articulation of SHFs are a nice combo.

Small impulse buy while window-shopping at Best Buy.

Kinda shocked these Ultraman sets are sold for so cheap considering the number of Blu-ray discs you get. It even comes with a source book covering everything from production history and episode descriptions to character, monster and key item guides.
