Review: Ant-Man & The Wasp (2018) - Marvel Legends Cull Obsidian Wave Ant-Man & The Wasp

I didn't get to watch Ant-Man and the Wasp in theaters for the reason that I hadn't watched Ant-Man so I was able to watch it once it was available on Hulu. I loved Ant-Man and I thought Ant-Man and the Wasp was alright, not great, not bad. There were some things about it that rubbed me the wrong way such as pacing and the ending, especially the ending. I did enjoy seeing Evangeline Lilly kick butt as Hope Pym. She also rocks a ponytail, I love it! Also Paul Rudd is still so incredibly funny in this one, the magic scene was one of my favorite parts of the film. I do like these figures but honestly the Figuarts look so much nicer but this is what I can afford (I could afford the Figuarts if I didn't get any Legends period...). Still, these aren't bad and they get the job done.

Review: Avengers: Infinity War - Marvel Legends Falcon & Winter Soldier Two Pack (Target Exclusive)

This is the other 2-pack that was supposed to have a Stan Lee Build-a-Figure along with the Black Panther Erik Killmonger and Agent Ross Everett 2-pack I reviewed a while ago. This was pretty tough to find, I thought this would be a lot easier to find compared to the one with the unmasked Erik Killmonger... I was wrong, very wrong. I hunted for this set in person when it was on clearance but I didn't have any luck. I just kept finding more Eriks and no Bucky and Sam. I caved and got the set for $37 which was $3 less than the full price. And even then I got a faulty Sam, he had two right shoulders! I had to get another one from Ebay loose because I didn't want to buy another whole set.

Review - Black Panther/Avengers: Infinity War - Marvel Legends Dora Milaje, Black Panther (Vibranium energy), and M'Baku BAF

 Time for last few figures in the M'Baku Build-a-Figure wave. Personally I prefer the movie figures over the comic versions so I was pleased when all of the figures in the line would be MCU figures. Finding the last batch wasn't that hard. It all started with the Dora Milaje, then Klaue and Killmonger, then the remaining three panthers (T'Chaka, T'Challa's Civil War suit and his vibranium energy suit) getting all of them to build M'Baku. Total, roughly $145 for the entire wave, unless you did the 25% off bag or got three Dora Milaje...

Review: Star Wars: The Last Jedi - Elite Series Die Cast R2-D2 and C-3PO

With the new year new stuff comes by but when you're on a budget or are just really bad at spending, you get older stuff such as the Elite Series R2-D2 and C-3PO which were on clearance with a little extra off since they had a red sticker. These were part of The Last Jedi set of figures that look really cool on a checklist that came with them, but don't really look that cool. The ones from the checklist are renders of the characters but the actual product look nothing like that. I watched Episode IV in full recently with my family and we enjoyed the movie but my mom fell asleep. Having recently watched that, I saw R2 on clearance before but no trace of 3PO so I just waited until I saw both. That time was this past Friday! I got both for $15.99 along with two The Black Series Rebel Fleet Troopers. They're very nice but there's a couple things I can nitpick.

Review: Star Wars - Disney Store Exclusive Black Series Stormtrooper with Blast Effects

There's something about the Stormtrooper that I really like but I can't pinpoint it. It may have to do with it being a soldier in a similar way to any kind of grunt in any Tokusatsu. Since the suits cover the body and are very... Toku, for lack of a better term. And I guess Star Wars is very Tokusatsu since a lot of the techniques that were used are very similar, if not, identical to the way Eiji Tsuburaya with Toho made their Kaiju films. But the white armor with the black under...wear? looks really nice! I love it, and if you have an army of them, even better. The amount of people with dozens of these figures make me extremely jealous, I would love to have that many... I mean I can... but I want to buy other things. So for now... only two of these Stormtroopers. These designs are from the Empire, back with the original trilogy and Solo and Rogue One since they take place in more or less the same era. These were Disney store exclusives and I got them, not only because they're the original designs and the only other ones I have are one Mimban Stormtrooper and the Imperial Deathtroopers. The blast effects are what really sold me, which are some things that you get with effect parts from Tamashii which... I haven't bought yet for some reason but these are really nice substitutes. Let's get into the figures and box!
