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…

Marvel Legends – Smart Hulk Wave – Union Jack

I know I've mentioned this before, but I am not always too familiar with whom these Comics characters are. Especially when they go off into people like union Jack here. That said, I often don't mind picking them up for the sake of a BAF that I do care about. Or sometimes just because they seem neat. Union Jack pretty much falls into the latter, though there is a bit fo the former there. What I can gather from reading some summaries of his story online, he's sort of like a cross between Captain America and James Bond. There have…

Marvel Legends – Smart Hulk Wave – Rescue

A neat little surprise of sorts in Avengers: Endgame, though not totally unexpected, was the appearance of Rescue. Rescue is the name of Pepper Potts, when she dons her own Iron Man style armor. She sort of does this briefly in Iron Man 3, though not voluntarily, since Tony was protecting her from the collapsing Stark mansion. At the end of that film, thanks to the Extremis formula, she also gets a bit of a taste for being the hero. Plus, Rescue is a "thing from the comics". Basically, it's not a huge surprise or stretch that Pepper Potts would…

Figma – Widowmaker

I never thought I would actually manage to get caught up on something around here but here I am, caught up on Overwatch Figmas. The last of the four released so far that I have yet to talk about is Widowmaker. I almost didn't order Widowmaker. I hate Snipers in the game and don't really play Widowmaker at all. I wanna say it was a slow month anyway for pre orders, so I decided to go ahead and let it ride out. I'm kind of glad I did, because she's a really great release for the line. She has all…

Marvel Legends – Smart Hulk Wave – War Machine MK006

I'm assuming it's War Machine Mark 6 here since he has a bit 006 emblazoned on his chest and the previous releases have different numbers. Anyway, moving on from some of the stuff that's less interesting in this wave, the first of several MCU characters from this wave is War Machine. I have to admit, for some reason I kept thinking Rhodes didn't survive the Infinity War snap. I guess it felt redundant to have Iron Man and War Machine survive. But he did, and he ended up with some new armor for Endgame. Over the course of the films,…
