Freddy (Shazam! Movie)

Freddy Freeman is a foster child at the same home Billy Batson is placed in the movie. He is a bit of a wiseacre and walks with a crutch. When Billy receives the wizard's power Freddy is the one who helps him learn how to use it. 

In the comics Freddy Freeman became "Captain Marvel Jr." as discussed in my post of the DCUC version. At the end of the Shazam! film (spoiler alert) Billy shares his power with the rest of his family and they all turn into Marvels without names. Freddy basically has a blue version of Billy's suit much like in the comics but his cape remains white.

Slithe (Savage World)

Slithe is the reptilian leader of the Mutants of Third Earth before the resurrection of Mumm-Ra. As a typical cartoon lizard man he ssspeaksss with sssensssational sssibilant "S" sssoundsss.

Savage World is a line of 5.5" retro-style action figures more like the vintage Masters of the Universe toyline than the 7" figures Thundercats received back in the eighties. I originally scooped up this guy because he wasn't in the short lived Mattel Thundercats Classics line but recently I was able to acquire the rest of Wave 1 and all of Wave 2 so apparently I'm all in on Thundercats?

Full disclosure I probably like Thundercats even more than She-Ra or Masters of the Universe. Sure the heroes look like refugees from a Broadway musical and the villains are pretty unidimensional animal people but I really like them so keep an eye out for more Thundercats!

Ultraman Belial (Spark Doll Sofubi)

Ultraman Belial is a corrupted, evil Ultraman who is the archnemesis of Ultraman Zero.  His stark red and black design really help to cast him as an evil Ultra, along with the giant claws on his hands, his elongated eyes, and the sinister grin on his face.

Despite being obviously engineered to be the dark reflection of the heroes of the Land of Light I really like Belial. He's over-the-top and ridiculous but it works for me. As a sofubi this figure doesn't have much in the way of articulation and next to no paint on the back but the sculpt is impressive.

USS Enterprise 1701-D (Eaglemoss Collectibles)

"Space, the final frontier. These are the voyages of the starship Enterprise. Its continuing mission: to explore strange new worlds, to seek out new life and new civilizations, to boldly go where no one has gone before." When I was 10 years old my life changed when I saw my first episode of Star Trek the Next Generation. It sparked a now-lifelong interest in science fiction and broadened my horizons.

Eaglemoss Collectibles has been releasing a line of die-cast metal Star Trek starships and I've amassing a bit of a collection of them. Of course I had to start with the ship that transported me into this world. The detailing is really great and the paint is very crips and clean. There's naturally no articulation or anything but I really like these starships as display pieces.

Green Lantern vs. Zodac (DC Universe Classics vs. Masters of the Universe Classics)

Mattel had the licence for both DC Comics and Masters of the Universe and since they were making similarly scaled figures for each a crossover was like a match made in Nerd Heaven. They released 7 of these two packs but full disclosure I only got this one because I wanted Zodac and shockingly the inclusion of Hal Jordan lowered his value on the secondary market.

I do love the Green Lantern mythos but I kind of burned out on Hal Jordan years ago. He's just the least interesting Green Lantern to me but I didn't have a modern articulated figure of him so this wasn't really frustrating as a purchase.

Ironically Zodac is depicted with the staff used by his 200X counterpart instead of the blaster he comes with.
