Hasbro Marvel Legends Custom: Rex Charger and Electro-Charger (Review)

Introduction:

Rex Charger is the alternative energy specialist of the team. Along with John Thunder, he's one of the two new Centurions featured on the episode "Firecracker". He is a playboy man of wealth, a millionaire who earned his reputation as the best Alternative Energy scientist of Iceland, while Electro-Charger is Rex Charger's basic Assault Weapon System (AWS). Its major feature is a missile-launching backpack that can fire a Nighthawk missile in any direction. Its also includes a photon laser blaster, two quantum thrusters. They're one of the unreleased toys from the second year of the Centurions toy line by Kenner but, it was featured in later episodes of the TV series. In this review, the toy is a custom from a random figure of Hasbro Marvel Legends toyline. Using Mr. Fantastic (Skrull wave) head sculpt (HS) and DeadPool X-Force body. The figure was customized by Ruby Farisyi so, this figure is not an official release. The boxart is merely a photoshop work, I used to do this in all of my Centurions reviews in my wordpress blog.

Contents:

Rex Charger comes with his main figure along with his basic AWS called Electro-Charger. It has backpack with missile launcher, nighthawk missile, photon laser blaster, 2 quantum thrusters and a helmet.

Rex Charger is depicted to be a American man with a fine and slight muscular body proportions. He dons red and pale green exoframe suit but, in this figure he was painted lemon yellow. His exoframe suit is capable to combine with 2 Assault Weapon Systems called Electro Charger and Gattling Guard. His body was originally from ML Deadpool X-Force version, Deadpool body appeared to be muscular just a typical fictional American super heroes. I've always not fond with this kind of body proportions... I'm just glad the custom exoframe suit hides those steroids....

His HS was originally came from Mr. Fantastic which was customized and repainted to have Rex's facial features such as classic mullet haircut, contented goatee beard and blue eyes. Comparing to the cartoon counterpart, Rex Charger has dark blonde colored hair while Ruby painted his hair into redhead but, other than that Mr. Fantastic HS actually quite spot on for Rex. Rex Charger's face is seemingly based from Chuck Norris back in 1980s.

Rex's helmet was also added with clear colored visor like my custom Jake Rockwell's Fire Force, the color Ruby did for the helmet follows the Kenner toyline color which the helmet appears to be dominantly light color while the red mostly on the trims. Coming from Kenner, this is a bit inconsistent because in the cartoon, his helmet is dominantly red.

His articulations works like ML and Lightning Collection (LC) figures but, due to his full armor exoframe epoclay material several articulations were limited. He got movable head. He can still stretch and bend his waist a little from his ab-crunch but, in his exoframe clay almost blocking the whole mobility. His elbow articulations are very limited due to his armoric exoframe suit. He got rotatable 360 degrees lower torso but, limited due to his rear lower armor. Leg articulations works the same and originally there’s cut on his lower leg but, it was completely blocked from his exoframe suit. Although, I'm also thankful Ruby made the exoframe suit hides most of the visible pins on his original deadpool body.

Electro-Charger consisted 5 parts that must be combined to Rex's body but, in total it has 7 parts including the helmet. Despite, the large backpack Rex can still stands well without the need of base display. Like the helmet, this AWS design as well as the color follows the Kenner toy line. In the cartoon counterpart, aside the helmet color Electro-Charger has it's own design and color such as his backpack is orange while his photon laser blasters 2 quantum thrusters are blue and also, Rex's gloves are red. Frankly, I prefer the Kenner toy line color better since it matches better to his exoframe suit.

I can also make my own combination (minus helmet) without Rex's body to recreate the offline mode like but, since the actual Kenner toyline remains unreleased; what's worse the offline mode was almost never seen in the cartoon so, no one really knows how Electro-Charger offline mode looks. However, in episode 55 (To Dare Dominion), there’s a scene where the Centurions AWS turned into somekind of robotic creatures due to the alternate reality that Doc Terror created, during this scene Rex's basic AWS is transformed into somekind of robotic anglerfish like.

Thoughts:

This custom is a perfect conversion compared to my 3 Centurions figures that I reviewed from my old blogs, Rex Charger came out to be perfect made and plays solid. Although, the paintapp is still one of the main problem which they still chipped in certain articulation demonstration but, it's much improved compared to the previous 3. Ruby really done his best on this, and you can check the trio reviews in here.

Storm Collectibles Samurai Shodown: Nakoruru (Review)

Introduction:

Storm Collectibles is a Hong Kong based designer and manufacturer of action figures. Known for making officially licensed, collectible action figures, most notably from fighting game series and iconic figures. Aside The King Of Fighters series, they also aquired the license to make Samurai Spirits/Samurai Shodown action figures. The figures were made into 1/12 scale with feature numerous points of articulation, interchangeable head sculpts and pairs of hands, and special fighting effect parts. Today, the review is going to focus on Nakoruru, she was given with a standard boxart like Blue Mary and Jin Kazama. With a visible large window plastic, we can almost see the whole contents. The front part was printed with "Samurai Shodown" logo with Nakoruru name in both japanese and romaji, her Samsho render artwork portrait, age 17+ print which means the figure is for 17 years old or above. And SNK corporation logo prints. While the back part is mostly shown the figure's promotional photos showing how the figure works.

Contents:

Nakoruru comes with her main figure, she's included with 3 interchangeable head sculpts in total, 5 pair of hands in total, Mamahaha figure along with his option body parts, Chichiushi dagger with the sheath and dagger's slash effect for her certain dagger scenes. Her background paper inside the box is a diorama stage of Kamui Kotan's forest in Autumn weather.

Nakoruru is a Japanese Ainu teenager girl with small and slender figure, she has long hime cut black hair with blue shades. Her getup was based on Ainu clothing consisting white dress with red trim and some part has navy blue trim & motives. Red bow tie headband, her headband has some yellow lines. And brown boots. She was depicted to be a petite girl with a lovely appearance and personality with an "innovative" character.

Her articulation points consisted movable head, torso which is hidden underneath her clothing, arms with bicep cut, single jointed elbow, wrists, legs with thigh, single jointed knee, leg cut, ankles and tiptoe part. Like Jin, her gauntlets are movable and also removable since it's separate pieces so, we can see her bare lower arms but, her back hands wears knuckles. Her knuckles may look funny as there's no wrist band but, all depends your point of view on posing her. What I really hate from her is that single jointed are very inconvenients since I couldn't make a dynamic pose, especially when it comes to folding her elbows and knees.

Nakoruru was included with 3 head sculpts (HS) in total, first would be her standard flat expression. Second HS is her serious expression with a grit and third is her cheerful smile with open mouth. Well, her face and expressions are looking rather gentle like how she was depicted but, like Mary she felt kinda bland and empty. Her head consisted removable bow tie, back hair and head band. Yes, it's swappable but, I don't understand on having removable 3 headbands and bow tie since all headbands are identical and swappable to every hair parts. Her HS, back hairs as well as her bow tie head bands are mostly made from hard materials but, her fringes were made from a soft rubber... Sadly, some of her eyes paintapp are rather sloppy, although they surprisingly didn't really bother me.

Nakoruru comes with 5 pair of hands in total, that would be: fisted hands which was already attached to her main figure, 3 kinds of unique open splayed and gripping hands for her necessary battle poses. Her hands were also made from soft rubber materials.

Nakoruru's weapon is none other than her Chichiushi dagger. They came with dagger and sheath and the sheath usually stored on her rear holsters. However, instead of having a separated sheath, I'd rather prefer they'd just make a single dagger and the sheath remains glued or just one mold to the rear holsters. When you take off the sheath from the holsters, it leaves a paint transfers. To be honest, her dagger is way too small.

Chichiushi Dagger's slash effect. Of course, the dagger won't be good without this especially on how small they're made. The effect was made from a soft rubber material and you can simply inserts the hole into the dagger's blade. The effect was made from a semi transparent materials that is mainly translucent yellow.

Her Mamahaha accessory were also included for her companion during her fight, I gotta say, they did good on the sculpt although it's not something special since he's quite similar to many animal figures that was sold by many toy companies. Except, Mamahaha was included with option parts of wings and legs, his head is movable but, not quite much. With his alternate legs you can hang his claws on Nakoruru's gauntlets. And with his spreading wings part you can either make his flying pose or you can even make Nakoruru hanging her hands on his claws by using Nakoruru's grasping hands.

Lastly, her diorama stage was a printed of the Kamui Kotan's forest in Autumn weather background which is really fitting for Nakoruru who loves nature.

Thoughts:

Nakoruru is my third Storm figure collection but, contrast to my previous reviews... Nakoruru appeared to be very disappointing in quality, she got so many sloppy paintapp and paint transfers due to her folding fabric and her single jointed articulations are very-very inconvenients. Mamahaha doesn't come with his flapping wings which is important for his battle stance. She's also lacking her Kamui Rimuse clothing part which was actually one of Nakoruru's iconic moves. A pointy finger hand would be needed for recreating Nakoruru commanding Mamahaha. I gotta admit, I had a terrible time handling the figure, although I could still make tons of her other move lists from the game.

Storm Collectibles TEKKEN 7: Jin Kazama (Review)

Introduction:

Storm Collectibles is a Hong Kong based designer and manufacturer of action figures. They are known for making officially licensed, high quality collectible action figures, primary from fighting game series and iconic figures. They also have the license to make TEKKEN action figures. These figures were made into 1/12 scale with feature numerous points of articulation, interchangeable head sculpts and pairs of hands, and special fighting effect parts. This time, the review is going to focus on Jin Kazama, he was given with a standard boxart like Blue Mary. With the visible large window plastic, we can almost see the whole contents. The front part was printed with "TEKKEN 7" logo with Jin name in both japanese and romaji, his TEKKEN 7 render artwork portrait, there is age 17+ that this figure was meant for those 17 years old or above. And Bandai Namco entertainment inc logo prints. While the back part is mostly shown the figure's promotional photos showing how the figure works.

Contents:

Jin comes with his main figure, he's included with 3 interchangeable head sculpts in total, 4 pair of hands in total and an electric punch effect for his Rage Art Finisher. His background paper inside the box is a diorama stage of G Corp Helipad.

Jin is a muscular young man of Japanese ethnicity. He has black hair that spikes at the back of his head like his father Kazuya Mishima. He also sports a fringe like his mother, Jun Kazama. Jin's face also strongly resembles his mother's. One of Jin's most prominent aspects is the black tattoo-like mark on his left shoulder, a mark that Devil branded onto him. Jin is shirtless and wears black trousers with a red, orange and yellow flame design on the right pant leg and red and black footpads. He wears Mishima style red gauntlets with a triangular pattern of metallic studs on the back of the hands, resembling his father's gloves. His outfit is an updated design of his TEKKEN 6 getup which the red flame on his pants is now larger with an orange and yellow tint. He wears an black with gold trim karate belt and red and black footpads. His gauntlets now extend down his entire forearm and come to a set of spikes at the end. I gotta say, in terms of design and physical appearance Storm really nails Jin but, my only complain is only his face, I'll show the pictures below.

His articulation points consisted movable head, torso, arms with bicep cut, double jointed elbow, wrists, legs with thigh, double jointed knee, ankles and tiptoe part. Another movable part is his tied belt which you can rotate it to create his move lists with more motions. His gauntlets are movable and also removable since it's separate pieces so, we can see his bare lower arms but, removing the gauntlets is useless since there is no bare hand part for Jin and his wrist joints are black colored which they're meant to connect Jin's gauntlet gloves with his wrist parts.

Jin was included with 3 head sculpts (HS) in total, first would be his standard serious expression. Second HS is his angry expression with a heavy grit and third is even angrier with open mouth. Well, you can already tell the purpose of these expressions. His hair are not removable nor swappable so, most of his head sculpts uses the same hair mold. His hairs are mostly made from hard materials including his fringe... So, his fringe may break if I'm careless. Honestly, he looks nothing like how Jin was portrayed in the game... Despite Jin's brutal fighting style but, he got better looks than his father since he also inherits his mother's face. But, this one, he's looking like a grunt man. Although, they still captured his calm demeanor nicely....

Jin comes with 4 pair of hands in total, that would be: fisted hands which was already attached to his main figure, 2 finger gesture hands. Open splayed and open palm hands for his necessary battle poses. His hands were also made from semi flexible rubber material but, thicker. These hands are more than enough to recreate Jin's iconic poses and even his move lists.

Jin is given with punch effect since he is iconic with his punching moves so, it's kinda obvious if he comes with this. Unlike Mary's stomping effect, Jin's effect was made from a semi hard rubber material and it's a little tricky inserting Jin's arms on it. The effect was made from a semi transparent materials that is mainly red with yellow gradation to the edge. Despite the little flexibility, I kinda reluctant to use it again since several part feels breakable yet, his effect got seamlines like it was separate 2 pieces glued.

His diorama stage was a printed of the G Corporation's Helipad background which, kinda ironic since G Corp leadership is his father Kazuya. Jin was never a part of G Corp except his war involvements during his ownership in Mishima Zaibatsu.

Yes, we can make tons of his move lists even some of his classic TEKKEN 3 moves that he nolonger use in his later appearances. In TEKKEN 3, most of Jin's move lists were mixture between Heihachi, Kazuya and Jun. However, I recreated this because I grew up by playing TEKKEN 3 as my very first TEKKEN game I played and Jin was my main character, although I'm not a good player myself but, I really enjoyed that old times.

Thoughts:

Jin is my very first Storm figure collection but, his mobility is as good as Mary since Jin was designed with newer body format since Storm had been releasing many male action figures prior Jin and that includes Jin's father Kazuya Mishima and grandfather Heihachi Mishima so, I could still make tons of his iconic move lists from his game easily.

Storm Collectibles Golden Axe: Tyris Flare (Review)

Introduction:

Here, I'am back with another Storm Collectibles (SC) figure review! Like The King Of Fighters (KOF), they also have the license to make Golden Axe action figures. These figures were made into 1/12 scale with feature numerous points of articulation, interchangeable head sculpts and pairs of hands, and special fighting effect parts. Unlike Blue Mary, Tyris was given with a large boxart since she was also included with a blue dragon figure as her horse riding animal. However, I sold the dragon long time ago since I only wanted Tyris figure so, in this review her blue dragon is absent. Tyris also got identical looking boxart like Mary, to be given with large window plastic so, we can almost see the whole contents. The front part was printed with Golden Axe logo with Tyris Flare name, her classic half body artwork from the Japanese Mega Drive cover, and there is 17+ print that this figure was meant for those 17 years old or above. Well, Tyris is given with a sharp materials that could be dangerous for children. While the back part is mostly shown the figure's promotional photos showing how the figure works.

Contents:

Tyris comes with her main figure, she's included with 2 interchangeable head sculpts in total which the hairs are removable and swappable, 5 pair of hands in total, a blue dragon with separated tails, flame effect for his fire spit which is absent in this review. Unlike Mary, her background paper inside the box is not a diorama stage but, rather a select player poster which is just for the window box view.

Tyris is a woman with a slim build, long red hair, and green eyes. In this figure, she got long dark orange hair to her upper back, dark brown eyes, she wears a white bikini clothing with red trims and red boots. Her bikini were mostly sculpted from her body mold and painted well enough, although there's a little sloppy one. Her skin color is rather red-ish , I guess this shown that Tyris is either a native american or due to her bikini getup she got tanned from her long journey. However, her appearance in the original Golden Axe can be inconsistents depending on her artwork or ingame sprites. She sometimes depicted with blonde hair in most of her artworks but, her ingame sprites her hair is light brunette. Most of the main figure was made from a hard plastic material but, upper torso and crotch were made from soft rubber materials.

Her articulation points consisted movable ball jointed head, torso, arms with bicep cut, single jointed elbow, wrists, legs with thigh, double jointed knee, boot cut, ankles and tiptoe part. Since Tyris is mostly shown to be half naked so, her articulation's mechanism may look ugly on her but, that's action figure so can't expect more unless. The annoying part is her upper torso was made from a soft material, whenever I bend her upper torso her back constantly stucked inside her lower back's gap which made from a hard material. I had to move them carefully to get it back properly.

Tyris was included with 2 head sculpts (HS) in total, first would be her standard serious expression with normal hair down. Second HS is her angry expression with a heavy grit to show how angered she is during her actions with flowing hairstyle. The HS are swappable, you can make her expressions with all kinds of her hair parts. Her hairs consisted between fringe and rear part, the fringe was made from semi flexible rubber materials while her rear hair and head from a hard PVC materials. Well, can't really say Storm actually captured her likeness due to her inconsistencies but, I like how storm added a eyelashes on her. Tyris is looking beautiful for a warrior and loving how Storm made her standard expression looking calm but, when she gets angry she looks intense and realistic with that face wrinkle sculpt. Her normal hair down hinders her head movement but, her flowing hair can make her head move freely.

Tyris comes with 5 pair of hands in total, that would be: fisted hands which was already attached to her main figure, pointy hands which I don't know what are they for but, could be for commanding her blue dragon. Grasping hands for gripping her sword, open splayed and open palm hands for her necessary posing. With the existence of her sword and how she mostly using it, we're mostly going to use her grasping hands frequently. Her hands were also made from semi flexible rubber material.

A little funfact, Tyris was originally included with another pair of open splayed hands but, that hands doesn't seem to make it to be mass produced. However, these hands looks quite identical with her other open splayed hands that was included except with a little different finger gesturing probably....

Lastly, Tyris sword! Tyris is very skilled with a sword but, there's no name given on her sword. Her sword is painted neatly with a silver blade with a gold ornate design near the hilt, although there's a slight misspaint but, it doesn't really bothering me. The hilt has gunmetal gray finishing. Her sword is mostly used for her battle scenes and in some certain ingame sprites, she can actually stored her sword on her lower bikini but, storm doesn't seem to include that feature for her. Her sword is made from a hard plastic and it's very sharp so, you might wanna watch your fingers playing this sword. The sword also appeared to be inconsistents just like Tyris depictions.

Hahahaha... This is a revenge from Tyris after she suffered being a punching bag in Mary's review.

Thoughts: Tyris is my second Storm figure collection and her mobility isn't as good as Mary but, despite her single jointed elbow, I could still make tons of her iconic move lists from her game with no sweat, she's also easy to play. I have to admit, she's not cheap due to her blue dragon's figure but, I'm glad I managed to sold that dragon since I don't have any space to store that extra large boxart and to begin with, I only need Tyris figure because it's very rare to a company made a reimagined classic Golden Axe action figures.

Thank youu for reading!😁🙏🏻

Storm Collectibles The King Of Fighters 98 Ultimate Match: Blue Mary (Review)

Introduction: Storm Collectibles is a Hong Kong based designer and manufacturer of action figures. They are known for making officially licensed, high quality collectible action figures, primary from fighting game series and iconic figures. They have the license to make 1/12th scale action figures based on The King Of Fighters (KOF). These figures feature numerous points of articulation, interchangeable head sculpts and pairs of hands, and special fighting effect parts. Her boxart comes out to be given with large window plastic so, we can almost see the whole contents. And the front part was printed with KOF98 Ultimate Match logo and her artwork drawn by Shinkiro, and there is 17+ print that this figure was meant for those 17 years old or above. To be honest, compared to shf/figma storm is much user friendly since despite their sharp/choking hazard looking materials, perhaps it's because Mary doesn't have accessory that was made from a hard materials. While the back part is mostly shown the figure's promotional photos showing how the figure works and there's a SNK Funiverse sticker attached on them.

Contents: Mary herself comes with her main figure, she's included with 4 interchangeable head sculpts which the hairs are removable and swappable, 6 pair of hands in total, a single stomp effect for her iconic moves and a background paper diorama depicting USA stage in their old class 2D sprite style from in the game.

Blue Mary was originally came from Fatal Fury series game but, she later made her debut in KOF97 as the Outlaw Team (Special Team) teaming up with Ryuji Yamazaki and Billy Kane. Mary herself is a Private Detective, her official nickname is "S Class Woman" and "The Joint Crusher", she specializes in Commando Sambo. Mary's getup are red top, dark blue purple-ish gloves with yellow trim, dark blue purple-ish jeans with 2 belts; 1 black belt attached in her pants while another 1 is a loose dark brown colored belt and light brown shoes. Mary is not my first Storm figure collection so, I can tell she is a big improvement from Storm's past female figures, they finally updated her elbow into double jointed so, she can move her arms much better and posing her is surprisingly easy, although her ankles is a bit limited to move. Unlike in my previous blog reviews I'm not going to show photo comparison anymore nor even the detailed articulation works in here but, I made tons of photos showing how she was depicted in the game so I think that'll be more than enough to demonstrate how she plays. Her articulation points consisted movable head, torso, arms with bicep cut, double jointed elbow, wrists, legs with thigh, double jointed knee, ankles and tiptoe part. I love how they cleverly hides her torso cut by using her red top. I can make tons of her iconic move lists from her game with no sweat, she's pretty easy to play.

Mary was included with 4 head sculpts (HS) in total, first would be her standard smile with normal hair down. This expression is mainly used to show Mary's friendly nature even during her fight but, out from all this one has her neck socket a bit lower compared to her other HS. This made her head stands a bit taller. I tried to press it hard but it won't budge, perhaps I'm going to need a hair dryer or hot water to fix that but, too lazy to do that. Second HS is her winking smile expression to show her sassy style with alternate normal hair down. I don't really understand why she was given with identical hair part... Third HS is her serious expression with slight grit to show how serious she is during her fight with her left side bangs hanging on her ears. Mary used to flip her hair in her battle. Fourth HS is her yelling expression which mainly used for her fight scenes to be more intense with her bangs flowing to the right side. All of these head sculpts are swappable, you can make her expressions with all kinds of her hair parts. Her hairs were made from semi flexible rubber materials while her head from a hard PVC materials. While some people may think she's not good enough but, atleast imo they seemingly captured Shinkiro style's art on her face. But, I don't really disagree on their thoughts since most of her expressions felt kinda bland and empty on her. However, I'm still happy with how she turned out to be better than I expected.

Mary comes with 6 pair of hands in total, that would be: fistful hands which was already attached to her main figure, pointy hands to recreate her bang scene or any other of her various pointy finger poses, open splayed tiger style hands for recreating her iconic battle stance pose, open splayed and open palm hands for her necessary Sambo posing. Well, these hands are very convenient to make tons of her ingame poses. Her hands were also made from semi flexible rubber material so, her hands are safe enough but, it doesn't mean they're unbreakable.

It's too bad she's doesn't come with taser weapon nor her late boyfriend's coat nor even Anton the dog... But, I still had alot of fun playing this figure.

Mary also comes with stomping effect which mainly used for her Snatcher move list that followed from her Vertical Arrow. The effect got the same material as her hair and hands. To be honest, I like this way better compared to a fragile hard plastic like how Bandai did....

As for diorama paper, the stage was simply printed from the original sprite of KOF98 USA Background which, I understand they're meant to recreate the classic look for Mary's appearance in KOF98 but, the pixelated looks doesn't go well enough with the figure.

Damn... I could make her Splash Rose Desperation Moves perfect enough!

Dynamite Swing also turned out perfect!

Wow, I'm surprised Mary can stand on Tyris and Tyris can even withstand Mary's weight!

Bandai Saint Cloth Myth: Pegasus Seiya - Original Color Edition - (Review)

Saint Cloth Myth, SCM for short, is a popular toy-line from Bandai based on the Saint Seiya franchise, originated by Masami Kurumada’s manga It is based on the Saint Seiya franchise by Masami Kurumada is his characters. The title of the merchandise is also known as “Saint Myth Cloth”, Saint Seiya Myth Cloth Legend, but the general consensus usually refer to the aforementioned title. As for this product, to commemorate for 30th Anniversary of the franchise Bandai released an alternate color for SCM Pegasus Seiya V1 cloth based on his manga color by Masami Kurumada so, this version is pretty much exclusive since manga Seiya's V1 cloth design is very different & this version of Seiya doesn't exist as well in the anime. The figure was released in 2016 as an event exclusive Complete Works of Saint Seiya Expo at Akihabara from June 18th to 29th 2016. The boxart originally got brown case to show his exclusiveness but, since I bought him 2nd handed so, he only gets his main boxart. His boxart appeared to have very simple design, which overally plain white with glossy finish and the front part has Pegasus Seiya's artwork silhouetted in chrome color, as well as the 30th anniversary of saint seiya logo with the figure's name. While the rear part only has 3 logos. Well, blind boxart and it doesn't look very appealing at all... I really hate this kind of boxart, it makes me want to throw this away but, there's always some collectors that concern the boxart more than the contents. Well, let's just unbox this guy!

Seiya is included with separated Pegasus cloth including the Pegasus cloth’s statue, alternate head fringe, 2 extra faceplates and 3 pair of hands.

Well, he surely feels exclusive eventhough his cloth lacks some details especially on the helmet & belt but, in the manga Pegasus cloth is simply 1 color scheme unlike how we saw them in the anime. To those who aren't familiar with the manga this could be rather disappointing but, I love this conversion much better although I have to agree on the detail problem due to the anime based design. In overall, this is a recolored version of SCM Pegasus Seiya V1 that was released in 2010 but, in this photos shown I used SCM Pegasus Seiya Revival head sculpt to make his expression more intense because I don't like the original head of this figure. And it works really good for me, loving this figure. Articulations, sculpt & everything works pretty much the same like my Pegasus Seiya Revival. This has been my very long time wishlist and I thought I'll never make it to get this but, eventually managed to snag him less than $60. I'm not going to demonstrate the detailed articulation works in here but, if you want to know how the articulation works you can check on my SCM Pegasus Seiya review here: https://viofitz.wordpress.com/2019/02/28/review-saint-cloth-myth-pegasus-seiya-revival-ver/

First Post of my new blog

Hello, welcome to my blog. I'm a freelance illustrator, animator and comic author but, I also focussed on my action figure collections. I used to write review of toys in my old blog wordpress: https://viofitz.wordpress.com/. Unfortunately, I ran out of memory for that blog so, I can nolonger post in there. My blog in here will be focussing on either art and toy review.

This is one my hand drawn digital art featuring my original character Fei Yen. She's the main character of my cancelled game project but, now she's simply became my mascot character. And she also got her own figures, customized figure to be exact.

The left one is a custom nendoroid doll and the right one is a custom chibi kyun chara. Probably some people can tell her base figure but, this figures are just solely for my personal collections. Aside of that I also made custom Pokémon cards and seal stickers, I will post them later. And also accepting commission as long as I can afford.
