Marvel Legends – Smart Hulk Wave – Beta Ray Bill

As a fairly popular secondary character of the Marvel universe, it's kind of surprising that Beta Ray Bill doesn't have more figures. He has a neat design that lends itself pretty well to being a "cool toy" and his outfit could easily be made from reusing most Thor figures. If you are unfamiliar with the character, you may notice that he looks a lot like Thor. His origin and history is very much related to Thor and the hammer Mjolnir. He was one of, if not the first character, besides Thor, to be worthy enough to wield the hammer in…

Nendoroid D.Va (Hana Song)

One thing I really like about the Nendoroid line is that they are hitting essentially all of my "Mains" in Overwatch. Tracer, Sombra, Mei, Lucio is coming, and D.Va. These are my top five, in some sort of order. I suppose that probably just says I prefer the mainstream heroes over some of the less popular heroes. Not surprisingly, Nendoroid D.Va is just Hana Song, aka "Baby D.Va". In game she rides inside her giant MEKA robot, collectively they are known as "D.Va". After taking some damage, Baby D.Va pops out and the robot is destroyed. It's a fun mechanic…

Game of Thrones – Arya Stark (McFarlane)

After enjoying Jon Snow and The Night King, I decided to keep up on the Game of Thrones line with Arya Stark. For what it's worth, I probably won't pick up Daenerys, the likeness is just too off in the face and she is overall too large. Maybe if I found her for cheap but at the moment, I don't plan on it. I am looking forward to potential future waves of these figures, despite the disappointing series finale. There isn't really anything to add about the line in regards to Arya that hasn't been said already about the previous…

Overwatch Ultimates – Lucio

Today's figure is Lucio from the Overwatch Ultimates line by Hasbro. I feel like Lucio could make a pretty cool Figma, but there are a lot of other factors that make me feel like Figma will never get around to doing Lucio. Of all the figures shown off prior to the line's release, Lucio was the one I was the most worried about. Ana had her obvious flaws in the promo photos, so she is expected to be a little disappointing. Lucio basically had one photo going around, where he was standing stiff upright with his little effect parts attached.…

Figma – Genji

The second release in the Figma line for Overwatch was Genji. Tracer being the poster child for Overwatch made sense for release number one, Genji kind of makes sense for release two. He is a pretty bad ass ninja, his robotic design lends itself to being highly articulated, and he looks like a sentai warrior. I don't really know how popular Overwatch is in Japan, but Figma IS a Japanese toy line, so that audience is sort of the primary audience. Genji actually is quite a departure from Tracer. I mentioned how his cyborg design works for the articulation, and…
