Who Guards The Guardsmen? by ClayTon O’Bricks

Who Guards The Guardsmen?

Stealth Armor Iron Man doesn’t debut until the following comic issue, but I like the color combo- Silver Centurion may be my favorite armor, but this has been my favorite ‘specialized’ armor since the animated series Toy Biz figure

I enjoyed trying to get different background color clashes, but also like how the natural light in the LEGO city turned out. What do you all prefer for backdrop: digital, LEGO, DGAF?

GotG 5-Pack, Great stuff if you missed out! by ClayTon O’Bricks

A review of the MCU GotG 5 pack, Disney exclusive

TL;DR: Great stuff if you missed out

Gamora- Heels are never the easiest to balance. Face is stoic, I would’ve preferred slightly angry. She comes with sword and retracted sword for accessories. Both are pretty cool and retracted sword fits into a side holster well. (Legends GotG Vol2 reissue)

Rocket- tiny figures with 18pts of articulation and two different molded blasters (I don’t think this figure could wield other weapons/large guns unfortunately). Head can only rotate, like Ursa Major. Mouth doesn’t close. (Legends GotG Vol2 reissue)

StarLord- legs are kind of basic, jacket limits range of motion slightly. He comes with two identical blasters that port into his legs when standing in vanilla pose. He also has two head options, both are really good. I’d say the Pratt face is almost reminiscent of the GotG Game version. No jetpack accessories or sculpts- same for Walkman. (Legends Ego 2 pack reissue)

Drax the Destroyer- possibly my favorite of the lot, surprisingly. Normal articulation with pins and ab crunch. He comes with his twin identical daggers that can be stared in boot holsters. Face sculpt is pretty great for this fig. (Legends GotG Vol2 reissue)

Groot(s)- two tiny unarticulated groots are fine. Big Groot is substantial in size. His sculpt hinders articulation slightly. His face is a little derpy, a serious expression may’ve worked better. (Legends TRU exclusive reissue)

All of the sculpts and paint apps are good. Packaging is cool. Pinned-joints are going to look dated soon. When comparing this set to what Hasbro is asking for the MojoWorld 3.5 pack, I think this isn’t an insane price point. Having missed out on comic and previous iterations of this team, I’m happy to have this in my collection.

Cosmic shelf is looking much better with this addition!

So, after about a year of delays, Hasbro has finally shipped out the Pulse Victory Saber sets.

If you collect Transformers, or are aware of the fandom, you'll probably have heard that this set is not just highly anticipated, but also, that the finished product bears the tried and true Hasbro traditions of questionable design choices and QC concerns.

Having opened mine, I can definitely confirm both.

Victory Saber isn't one of those characters that is well known if you have no interest outside the American based universe, seeing how we skipped several Japanese G1 seasons here in North America.

Victory Saber is incredibly popular overseas as his look is not only a deviation from the typical Convoy/Prime aesthetic, but he literally has Gundam DNA in him - I'm not super familiar if it was the entire character, but you can at least see it very clearly in Star Saber himself.

The character/toy introduced some interesting concepts to the Transformers universe, though it's probably best known for the Brainmaster concept, which itself is a spin off of the Headmaster concept - tiny figure becomes part of a larger figure (in this case not so much the head but rather the consciousness of the larger robot head) which then plugs into body to form a larger robot, which was sort of used as recently as the Titnas Returns line.

The last time Victory Saber, as a Takara/Hasbro release, was back in the 2000s with the Robotmaster version, which were small, Deluxe sized figures and were of course not retailed here. There were hopes that there would be a Masterpiece version, as a Star Saber was released quite a few years back now, but they never followed it up with a Victory Leo to complete the set.

The Pulse set, including all of the bonuses for meeting sales targets, consists of four figures and various accessories. There is the Leader sized Star Saber, Voyager sized Victory Leo, and the two... I have no idea what they're called these days, but back in the day they were called Micromasters, Holi and Fire.

To keep things relatively short and concise, you're not going to see any mind shattering feats of articulation. These figures are, at the end of the day, mainline level releases, which basically means they'll do what typical figures of their size class can, though I will admit it was nice to see that waists were present on most of the larger figures, minus Victory Leo.

QC wise, there's the typical Hasbro material, joint, and paint issues. But that's not where things end - that would have made me a happy camper.

No, we have questionable packaging for a $180 USD set - better materials would have been nice, but at the very least you figure they could given us a clamshell rather than those plastic ties, which not only make repacking the figure impossible, but can, and have, caused paint damage.

Secondly, there's that sticker you have to apply. I get that you can't really paint that particular type of plastic, but why am I having to do it at all? Could it be because it's very labour intensive, and that the sticker is so flimsy you're likely to destroy it by just taking it off the backing?

Thirdly, there's a hair or a bristle under the chrome paint applications, which as you can imagine is very visually distracting. Some users have actually taken to covering it up with mirrored tape... which begs the question of either why they didn't use the tape in the first place, or how did they screw it up.

Finally, and here's my favourite - Hasbro actually forgot to cut a hole into the body of Saber. This hole prohibits the combination of the nose cone with the jet mode, which would have made transformation impossible if I hadn't spent an hour of my life fixing it.

The worst part is... I got off lucky. Some customers have reported even more aggravating things, like missing parts.

So overall, somehow Hasbro managed to make me work more and be more annoyed with a product that is priced at a higher than normal price point.

Future Wars according to the Book of Doom by ClayTon O’Bricks

Or just posing figures on hand. Finally had some good lighting to work with.

Thinking of making scale dioramas with LEGO in the future.

The White Rabbit strikes by ClayTon O’Bricks

1

I’m sure this meme format been used to death, but here’s another take!

White Rabbit’s paint apps and color scheme are great. I’ve had her waiting to be opened for nearly a year, and when my RYV pack came in, I figured Mary Jane might make a good foil for her.

This great looking figure unfortunately is hindered a bit by rubbery/gummy legs and neck joint. Her bow tie won’t fall behind her jacket on mine, and that is really limiting a head that is already restricted by long hair. I tried to pop off her head, but the neck joint looked like it was going to break before releasing the portrait.

Wobbly knees were not the greatest to pose around. I think that’s an issue with the plastic material used.

If this fig had double jointed arms, an extra ‘angry face’ head, and slightly better QC on the legs, it’d be a top-tier comic figure.

Two Spider-Lady posts in a row! I enjoyed the last one considerably more. They’re basically the same buck, but I think Silk looks way cooler.

That’s just my hot take. Maybe I should’ve taken a break before taking an in-depth look at Mary Jane’s Spinneret. Or read Renew Your Vows. I have it DL’d, but still have like two books left of Secret Wars 2 currently on deck, with maybe two books left. I’ll probably revisit this figure.

These two were not the easiest for me to balance, but both look excellent on the shelf.

Thor and Gorr by ClayTon O’Bricks

1

I like the comic look for any particular Marvel figure over the MCU look, but the line is beginning to blur in 2022. That is a very good thing.

Both of these figures looked great as soon as I saw them released. Thor with the great colors. Gorr with minimal color, but great sculpt and Bale likeness.

Minor gripes: Thor’s eyes in the helm look a little off. I would consider filling in with a white or black paint pen. Stormbreaker is really thin towards the middle and bends with the weight of its head. Gorr falls on me fairly consistently with rubbery ankles.

Very solid figures, happy to add to the collection and hope that this is a harbinger of symbiotes in the MCU!

Really enjoyed this shoot, check it out~~~~>

Finally opening up Retro Deadpool and getting to shoot him vs Task Master has been a long time coming.

Two great figures with some excellent accessories and articulation. Yes, waist twist on DP is a bit difficult, as is posing TM’s cape, but got both to work for dynamic poses

The Marvel Universe line’s two-pack is my favorite (excluding Galactus) from a beloved line. Great that these two carry on the classic looks with great assortments of accessories

These guys will definitely be posed next to each other on my comics shelf. What do you think of these figs? Who ya got in a fight?

There’s chaos in you.

March is for Moon Knight! ~~>

This is a badass figure, I cannot wait to see the MCU treatment of this character

Enjoyed posing this guy around, took too many photos, and plan on taking more in the future.

He’s one character that I’ve dug for a long time, without a whole lot of comic exposure to. Super hard to come across this figure when seeking out both Marvel Universe and Legends, but super happy to have them in the collection

Stoked as I am for the D+ show?

“I DON’T CARE!!!” by ClayTon O’Bricks

“I DON’T CARE!!!”

Apathy-Man delivers a brick message to Spidey

Finally got around to opening William Baker Sandman from the Retro Carded SM line. Hefty figure fore his size, very cool accessories, and a great character to have in the line- and now on the shelf.

I’ve had some issue with keeping his head and weaponized limbs on without popping off. I’ve had him in various poses on my desk for a couple weeks, and he’s given me a number of falls regularly- I think I’ll have him displayed on a flight stand like pictured.

Integrated suit is iconic from NWH, and while I try and avoid MCU figs, I can’t imagine a time I won’t look back fondly on that film. HasbroPulse power days sale made it an easy pick up. My only ish is that it should’ve come with wall crawling hands as well.
