Jakks Pacific Chaos

Along side Big the Cat, I also picked up Chaos, the villain from Sonic Adventure. I honestly don't really remember much about Chaos aside from being the villain. But he is part of my favorite cast and the figure has this really slick transparent blue going on that kind of sucked me in to picking it up. Also funny enough, while he is way more articulated than Big, it almost works less well, because he has the weird "Sonic Proportions" of big head, long feet, and skinny body that all work against making him actually pose in any sort of…

Jakks Pacific Big the Cat

I'm not super into "Sonic Lore" but Sonic Adventure has always been my favorite cast and game. One of the characters in that game was Big the Cat. His entire shtick is being big and being a cat. Well, and Fishing. Sadly, this version of Big does not include a fishing pole, but I am sure I can find something that will work later. He does come with a couple of tiny rings. I'm not exactly sure if this is the normal size for Jakks' Sonic line and it's rings, but they feel a little small. Something else he doesn't…

Fortnite Victory Royale The Scientist

A little before Christmas I bought a bunch of "Clearance masquerading as a Christmas Sale from Entertainment Earth stuff. It was all stuff I had been "sort of looking at" for a while, but for super marked down, I decided why not. Slightly annoyingly, a lot of it ended up being slightly disappointing for one reason or another. Maybe I need to start listening to tat little, "you put this off for a reason" voice more. Anyway, this was one of them. In the last year, I've started playing a ton of Fortnite. Though I don't own a ton of…

S.H. Figuarts – Sakura Kasugano

When playing Street Fighter, I have always been a fan of the "Ryu Family" of heroes. Ryu, Ken, Sakura, Akuma, that sort. They tend to have a nice balance with speed and power. That said, I also kind of prefer Sakura, for being a bit faster. All of the other Street Fighter figures I have are from SOTA Toys' old line. For the most part they are pretty good figures, even their Sakura, but the Figuarts Sakura just generally looked a lot nicer, so I've been wanting to pick her up for a while. She is definitely an upgrade. I…

NECA – Heroes of the Storm Thrall

If there is one central figure in all of World of Warcraft Lore to pretty much everything going on, it's the Orc known as Thrall. Some people suggest his is a Mary Sue stand in for Chris Metzen who was basically in charge of WoW for a very long time. Even when Thrall tries to take a step out of the story, it always brings him back to fix everything. He also has the Nickname "Green Jesus". Thrall has had a few different roles and looks over the years. This particular design, like The Lich King, is not from World…
