Review: Spider-Man: Far From Home - Marvel Legends Mysterio // Spider-Man (Red and Black Suit) Molten Man Build-a-Figure Wave)

Mysterio was such an interesting character in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, especially considering the history of the character in the comics. Spider-Man also sports a brand new suit in the movie which is okay, not a super fan of it but it's not a drastic change unlike the suit from The Amazing Spider-Man (2012) with Andrew Garfield... seriously, I hated that suit. Considering it's almost halfway through August and this movie has been out for over a month there's going to be a lot of things spoiled so be warned. Let's get to it!

Review: Captain Marvel (2019) - Marvel Legends Yon-Rogg and Captain Marvel (Airforce Colors and Airforce Jacket Versions)

 So for the last batch of MCU Captain Marvel figure reviews (minus the Binary form which hasn't hit stores yet and I don't feel like paying double the price for one). And honestly, it was a really good set of figures. I would have preferred more MCU figures over Genis-Vell and Grey Gargoyle but what can you do? I still need to review Black Bolt and Namor from the Okoye Build-a-Figure wave. I haven't rewatched Captain Marvel yet but I do want to rewatch it. I will watch Shazam though. That comes out soon, this weekend? Anyway, I love Captain Marvel herself, she's such a cool character with an awesome design and Brie Larson is cute so yeah. Let's get started.

Review: Marvel Stud10s - Captain America: The First Avenger (2011) - Marvel Legends The First Ten Years Red Skull and Hydra Soldiers

 The Red Skull, Captain America's arch nemesis and a character that I'm not too familiar with besides thinking he looks strange in the comics with the shape of the head. When I saw the movie I thought the MCU version of Red Skull looked pretty cool and kinda creepy. That wasn't his first appearance in live action from, he had appeared in the 1990 Captain America movie and he looked strange. Anyway, it's been so long since I watched the film and I don't remember much but looking at some clips, the movie looks pretty good, I really need to rewatch these because I'm sure I'll appreciate them a lot more now than I did then.

Review: Black Panther (2018) - Marvel Legends Ulysses Klaue and Erik Killmonger

 This was the figure I was anticipating the most ever since I watched the movie. I wanted an unmasked and unsuited Killmonger, I could live without Klaue since Marvel Legends doesn't have most of the villains in 6" scale. Still I'm pleased to have Klaue since he did play a part in the movie and he also appeared in Age of Ultron which I watched a couple months ago after watching Black Panther and before watching Infinity War around last December... Yes I was behind get over it, now I'm all caught up and ready for Captain Marvel and End Game. Also the second trailer for End Game is out and I can't wait until April!

Review: Black Panther - Marvel Legends Everett Ross & Erik Killmonger (2 Pack)

So, this version of Erik Killmonger with the Michael B. Jordan head was one of the figures I had been anticipating the most! I saw the prototype on forums online, something about a Stan Lee build-a-figure and what not, and I instantly fell in love with it since I love the movie. This and the Falcon and Winter Soldier 2 pack that I'm still struggling to find would come with the pieces to assemble Stan Lee. That was cancelled and now the two sets don't come with BAF pieces. This was originally $39.99 and for two figures that are usually prices at 19.99 each, I guess it's fair. I paid full price thinking that this would be a set that would be hard to obtain... boy was I wrong. Falcon and Winter Soldier are the ones that are hard to find. I had to go to New York (I live in the New Jersey) to find them at two different Targets to see if I could find it and nothing! Meanwhile, this set is on clearance for less than $20! So we'll see if I can finally get Bucky and Sam.

Review: Star Wars: The Force Awakens - Black Series Captain Phasma 3.75"

Captain Phasma, a character that looks really cool but does very little in both movies, she doesn't really get much screen time and she's defeated easily. She gets a cooler fight against Finn in The Last Jedi. Played by Gwendoline Christie, she's very tall at 6'3" and the figure captures that height well. I didn't expect her to be that tall, the actress is also very funny. Not much can be said about this character honestly, I do have the Disney Exclusive Black Series figure but I wanted an undamaged version and I've been on a 3.75" figure kick so I went on Ebay and got this figure fairly cheap, I've also gotten two more Vintage Collection First Order Stormtroopers for $5 at GameStop so my troops have grown! And they will continue to grow until I stop finding them! She also fits with the Stormtrooper much better than Kylo Ren, I kept messing with this figure throughout the week, I got her on Christmas Eve so it was perfect timing in my opinion. 

Review: Star Wars: The Force Awakens - Vintage Collection Kylo Ren (VC117)

The Vintage Collection Kylo Ren, maybe my 3rd VC Star Wars figure and I don't know why but man am I warming up the 3.75" scale which isn't good for my room, my wallet or many other things! I do get there on clearance at GameStop although Amazon and Ebay have them for very cheap prices too which is a double edged sword. I never thought I'd want to collect these and now that I have 4 Stormtroopers... I think I need more and they're fairly easy to find, if they're the older variety like The Force Awakens or Rogue One characters. The cheap prices that I have paid, make it harder to justify the price of $12-13 for this scale. The only figure I have paid full price for is Enfys Nest, and I thought that'd be the only one I'd be getting but hahahaha. No. Man do I have a problem. Let's get to the figure!

Reviews: Power Rangers Ninja Steel - Villain Stone Dozer

 Stonedozer! He was trying to wreck Levi's concert but that didn't happen, honestly it's been too long for me to remember the episode but this was the first episode where they fight a MotW together as a team of 6 rangers! He puts up a fight, or at least I thought he did. I watched the clips and he is kind of just pushed around, that's with the lack on context of course but I thought he did a lot more than just run around and get hit by Levi and Brody. Let's move onto the toy!

Review - Power Rangers Ninja Steel - Villain Skullgator

After Spinferno's defeat, he didn't get much of a cheer from Galaxy Warriors audience so he didn't "Gigantify!" Instead Cosmo released the first Skullgator! This isn't any kind of monster, this is a GIANT monster. Already Megazord size and ready to kick ranger butt! In Ninninger this was a Kyodai Yokai Gashadokuro (巨大妖怪ガシャドクロ) or a Giant Yokai "Starving Skeleton." Gashadokuro are really interesting to me, I love the artwork and they always look very creepy in the paintings. And since I have a thing for miniatures and things that tower over everything else, I like the giant Skeleton art. The design for this particular monster is very edgy, and I mean that in a good way, if I had seen this design without knowing the Sentai roots, I wouldn't have known it was in Ninninger because of the "dark" design. I also... got two of these... for reasons! I was very excited to get this and there are a couple things I want to talk about regarding the prototype.

Review: Power Rangers Ninja Steel - Spinferno (Legacy Collection Good vs. Evil: Yellow Ranger vs. Spinferno)

Spinferno was supposed to get a standard release but it didn't and ended up with Calvin the Yellow Ranger in a two pack for Good vs. Evil so now I have an extra Yellow Ranger. Spinferno was from episode 3, in which Brody loses his Datacom, Victor and Monty find it and try to fight Spinferno with it and fail and the Datacom gets damaged during the fight. The rangers fight together afterwards, Calvin races Spinferno in order to trap him afterwards. They destroy him but he doesn't grow since he didn't get enough cheer so instead Skullgators are sent. He also appears in the Halloween special along with Trapsaw. In Ninninger, Yokai Kasha (妖怪カシャ) was created from a pair of roller-skates, In that episode Nagi is the focus where he needs to apply the skills rather than just study. When they fight Yokai Kasha, Gabi Raizo intervenes and destroys him (which is why he doesn't grow). He does appear later on as a part of a midterm final which was a VR fight against him. 

Review: Power Rangers Ninja Steel - 5" Villain Ripperat (Trapsaw)

Episode 2! Is the first episode in which they use Japanese footage from Ninninger. Ripperat is the second MoTW in the U.S. and the first one that they fight together as a team! In Ninninger, Yokai Kamaitachi (妖怪カマイタチ) was the very first MoTW, they split the footage from the first episode and used the first half of the fight for the first episode and the second part of the fight for the tenth episode where Kamaitachi returns as Trapsaw, Ripperat's twin brother. I'm not sure why they decided to do that, split Ninninger episode 1 into two. Ripperat just ends up being destroyed in a really awkward edit and Trapsaw just uses the second part of the fight with Kamaitachi when Shurikenjin is combined. I guess it slowly adds on? Episode one shows the morph and weapons, two shows the individual Zords and episode three combines the Megazord together. Kamaitachi means the "Sickle Weasel" which is pretty cool.
