SH Figuarts – Naruto Ichiraku Ramen Set

For a variety of reasons, the bottom has basically dropped out on my collecting. Some of its finances based, some of it is just kind of, saturation, I guess. I also feel like my interests in what I buy has entered a kind of weird abstract and less focused area. Some things I have been somewhat keeping up interest in is props.and accessories. Maybe I will actually start using them to take cool photos more, but for now, I have been collecting them for a while. Sometimes its cheap sets from Five Below, sometimes its exotic items like a fancy…

S.H. Figuarts – Professor Severus Snape

I really enjoy Harry Potter. I have read the books a few times, I have watched the movies a few dozen times, each, I know a lot of the little extra tidbits of the lore and world. I am pretty excited for the idea of Figuarts doing a Harry Potter series. I have essentially one figure from these movies. Right at the end of the 1/12th line they did a sub line called Dueling Club, which was as close as we have gotten to having a set of good looking 1/12th Potter figures that had decent articulation. I have Harry…

S.H. Figuarts – The Rock

I'm going to be straight up honest.  I don't have any interest in Wresting, at all.  But I think Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, the actor, is pretty cool.  Plus this figure has a lot of hilarious faces and possibilities for photos.  I also ended up getting a good deal on him from the closing of Toys R Us, so there's also that nice bonus. As far as Figuarts go, he kind of feels like a mixed bag.  The face sculpts are great.  They look like the rock and convey a lot of nice goofyness and character.  Even without relating it…

S.H. Figuarts – Mace Windu

I have a sort of general philosophy I like to follow when writing reviews. I like to give good points and bad points and let the reader sort of make the final conclusion on if something seems good or not.  There are really too many subjective factors to give a definite yay or nay on most things. Unfortunately, I don't really have much to say about Figuarts Mace Window that is negative.  I really just don't, the figure is damn near perfect and it's definitely the best toy Mace Windu us ever going to get.  I suppose that, as a…

S.H. Figuarts – Sailor Mars

Coming in as the third member of the team, Sailor Mars adds some fire power, literally, to the Sailor Senshi mix.  Rei and her fire attacks make her a pretty heavy hitter on the team, and as a Shrine Priestess when she's not Sailor Mars, she is one of the more capable members of the group even without her powers. Figuarts Sailor Mars is much more of a departure in design than Mercury was to the original Sailor Moon. The core Fuku outfit is still there but she wears slippers instead of long boots.  She also has longer hair, which…
