Psylocke

Okay, so this figure isn't the Olivia Munn Psylocke, which is a shame because I thought she looked great in the role. Aside from her limited role in X-Men Apocalypse, I don't really know anything about Psylocke. But I do like the figure, especially with it's energy accessories.

Wasp

I have not yet seen Ant-Man and the Wasp, but I actually find that I'm really looking forward to it. I hadn't been looking forward to the first Ant-Man, and eventually saw it a couple of years after it came out. It was a fine movie, nothing great. But for some reason I'm pretty hyped for this one. I do absolutely adore this figure, as I do pretty much all of the recent Infinity Wars figures (this one comes packaged with a piece of Cull Obsidian). The head sculpts are all as good as I've seen on this level of action figure, and honestly look like they could probably pass as Figuarts sculpts.

MG Gelgoog Ver. 2.0 Char Aznable Custom

I haven't posted many gunpla of late, and mostly that's because I've been really lazy about applying decals, dry transfers, and stickers. Hopefully sooner rather than later I'll get more of them actually finished, but in the meantime here's a Char's Gelgoog. It's a great kit, I had an older 1.0 version in the Anavel Gato version, which I very much liked. I honestly don't remember enough about that kit to do a great comparison, but from the outside this one is not a huge upgrade. It does have great surface detail, however, on the lower legs.

Revan

As both a Star Wars fan and a Bioware fan, you might find it surprising that I never played Knights of the Old Republic. I just missed the bus on that one, and I don't know if after Mass Effect and next-gen gaming it's worth going back to try it out. That said, I still respect a good character design and love many of the characters from the game. So here he is, Darth Revan.

X-23

Here's a recent X-23 figure released in the Legends line (I believe there is an X-23 Wolverine out too). She's pretty cool, I love the swept hair.

Songbird

This is a figure I really liked based on the outfit and the colorful wings. I didn't know anything about the character, and have only read a short bio since I got the figure. Songbird started out as a villain and was a part of the Masters of Evil before becoming a Thunderbolt and eventually becoming a hero.

Mirage Farina Jenius

Here's a Banpresto figure from Macross Delta, perhaps my favorite character from the show (it's a tough call, there's at least four characters in the running). Her name is Mirage Farina Jenius, notably the grand-daughter of a previous protagonist in the series.

Qi'ra

Here's so far the only Solo character I've gotten in Black Series form (Range Trooper doesn't count, or does it?). I have a huge crush on Emilia Clarke, and was excited to see her joining the Star Wars universe. I still haven't seen the movie so I can't comment on the character. The figure seems to not be wearing a hairstyle or costume matching anything google images shows from the movie (the costume is close-ish,but major color variance and styling), but the face sculpt is pretty decent. It's not at the same level of other recent Black Series or Marvel Legends figures, but good enough to be recognizable.

Valkyrie

This figure came in a two-pack with another Thor figure from Ragnarok (already shown in a previous post). I got it on clearance, half off, so I figure I only really had to pay for Valkyrie. She's a pretty good looking figure, though she lacks accessories (only one small sword which is very flimsy). She's also a little more hefty than many other Legends figures, especially the female ones.

Havok

So there will be a very high concentration of Marvel figures over the next many posts, as the Summer '18 figure lineups have been awesome and I've wanted pretty much all of them. This figure is not one of those... I bought it for the BAF part. It's not a bad figure per se, it's just not a character I'm familiar with or really care about.

Sandtrooper and Dewback

When I first heard that this figure was coming out, I knew I wanted it, no matter the price. Then there was no news about an actual release, and time went by, and there was nothing. I kind of lost hope, figuring it was something that never got past the prototype stage or was otherwise cancelled. Then it showed up in my store.

I'm a huge fan of the Dewback and Sandtrooper, it was the best addition that the Special Edition trilogy made back in the '90s (I know it was in the original, but now it moved and took on more of a personality rather than what I assume was a cardboard cutout).

Also, they released some Black Series Porgs, that fit in the same scale. I don't think they deserve their own separate post, so I'll add them here.
