Live Boxer (Super mini-pla)


Live Boxer is the combined form of Bison Liner and Sai Fire. For the first half of the show Liveman was a three person Sentai team but then Black Bison and Green Sai (Rhino) joined the team with their ungulate truck themed vehicles.

First Mate Jenny (Boss Fight Studio)

First Mate Jenny is the mystical second-in-command of the Righteous Indignation who never received a figure in the original toy line because it was cancelled before she was produced. So this figure in particular is a great choice for Boss Fight to make next.

Mary Batson (Mary Marvel) DC Universe Classics

Billy Batson's sister Mary also gains formidable powers when she speaks the name of the wizard "Shazam!" Given the release of DC's "Shazam" movie there are plenty of places online to explain why she's called by her secret identity instead of her superhero name. (Though really they are 50% the same so maybe not the most secret of secret identities)

This white costume comes from the "Power of Shazam" series from the mid-to-late 90's that was a glorious book that managed to modernize the Marvel Family while maintaining the sense of fun and whimsy that characterized the Golden Age comics. I like this look because it differentiates her from her brother even while in the comics at the time they both used "Captain Marvel" as their heroic nom de guerre.

Repugnus Titan Master (Transformers Generations: Titan Masters)

Repugnus is a Monsterbot whose vintage toy had a sparking gimmick. Titan Masters have reimagined him as a tiny robot head who has a "vehicle" that also doubles as a version of his original alternate mode.

I love heroic monster characters. Also I just love monsters. This version naturally doesn't reproduce the sparking action of the vintage toy which is probably for the best.
