DC Direct Green Lantern Series Soranik Natu

I appear to amassing quite the female figure collection in my girlfriend's absence...  Oh well my mindset I'm just trying to make myself uber straight by balancing out my collection of transforming robots and muscular men by adding more female figures into the mix.   

Enough of that.  I keep on forgetting which toys I've reviewed and which I haven't because even though I'm at 60+ posts I've only done toys I haven't opened yet.  I'll probably go back and do more reviews on the ones I've opened later. 

I'm actually trying to make an over powered Justice League out of all the different lanterns.   In future reviews I will show off the others ones I bought but the only two colors I need to get are orange and black.  I usually wait til Amazon makes the prices for these toys go down.  No way am I going to pay more than 16 bucks for one of these.

I got Soranik for I believe $15.95 on Amazon and I think she was worth the price.   I probably could have gone to a comic shop and picked out a more flawless one(mine has paint splotches) but that would have meant a higher price tag and gas money.    She looks good and despite having crap articulation I'm glad to have her in my collection and a part of my Justice League shelf! 

Transformers Prime Cyberverse Megatron

For today's review I have here the Cyberverse sized Megatron.   I like this figure a lot more than Bulkhead due to Megs being able to pose better.   He does have two faults in my opinion and that is legs only have the single joint at the knee and no ball jointed foot.   Megatron's alternate mode also really sucks.   I do not like the alt mode at all.  

Marvel Universe Age of Thunder Thor

Ok I know I've been griping about how expensive these little guys are how I'm not going to buy anymore of them and well...  I got one more.  The only reason I bought this guy was to complete my 3.75 inch Avengers movie team.  Well not the actual movie figures but what figures I think fits nicely into the team.  I got Thor for a whooping $12.23 with tax!   Hardly justifiable to buy these little guys for so much when they're coming with less and less.   The new Marvel Universe figures don't even come with stands anymore!   Just small cardboard cutout artwork.        

Thundercats Cheetara

Alright, Alright!   I've decided after Cheetara I will open some of the toys I've got saved up.  I'm gonna reward myself after work tomorrow by opening up one of them.  I have about seven unopened toys and several of them are still from Japan... 

But on to Cheetara.   I waited a couple of months to get her simply because I could not find her in my area and scalpers online wanted ridiculous prices for her.  I didn't not want to pay over thirty bucks for her and when I saw her go for ten bucks on Amazon I jumped on the opportunity.   Since then the price for Cheetara has gone up to twenty and stuck around that price.   

Cheetara does not dissapoint with her only flaws being quality control and the absence of a shoulder swivel.   They gave her a bo but she can't really pose with it too well.   Since she comes with the least accessories it would have been nice to give her a stand so she can be in a running pose like the TV show.  

Transformers Prime: Cyberverse Bulkhead

 This time I'll be showing you Transformers Prime Bulkhead!    This is the Cyberverse version and I bought it for about nine dollars which I kind of regret.    I still remember when deluxe figures where ten dollars and for that price they were highly articulated.    While Bulkhead is fun the figure lacks in certain areas.   The thing that bugs me the most about this figure is the huge hallow back and how Bulkhead has a little trouble standing up.   While I love the leader class Animated Bulkhead this Prime toy is a fun desk toy.   It's poses are a bit limited though because of the single jointed knees and non-moving ankles.  

Transformers Prime Wheeljack

I'm not really too much of a fan of this toy.  My friend Barry owed me money so instead of giving me back the cold hard cash he got me this toy.   While Wheeljack isn't a bad toy the arms are kind of a deal breaker for me.  They do have ball joints on their shoulders but their single jointed elbows really hinder  the toy's posing ability.    I won't talk too much so you can enjoy the pictures and make your own decision on whether or not to spend the money on this guy here.  

 

Play Arts Advent Children Tifa

Woo hoo!  Two blog posts in one day.   I think I'm only four posts (including this one) away from being caught up on all the toys I've opened so far.  

Anywho here is Paizuri... I mean Tifa from the Advent Children line of Play Arts.  I think I got really lucky on this figure.  When I got into toy collecting again I mainly collected Transformers so when I finally branched out and searched for Final Fantasy figures they costed a pretty penny.   Tifa was and is going for around $100 which is a ridiculous amount to pay.     So one day after coming back from my sweet heart and from Japan I searched for Play Arts characters on Ebay and I was surprised to find her for only $20 buy it now price!   Apparently the guy who was selling Tifa had to move really quick so he was trying to make some quick cash by selling his collection.  I wanted to buy more from him but the other auctions had gone up or I didn't want the others he was selling.   And yeah... I'm really happy about getting this toy for so "cheap"!

Enough bragging lets talk about this toy.    It's a great representation of Tifa from the Advent Children movie except for the face.   The toy doesn't look too much like the movie model but I can live with it.  I've seen a website tutorial about customizing the face to make her look more like the movie.  I think it involves cutting the bangs and giving her new eyes and lipstick.
