Grand Admiral Thrawn Star Wars 3.75"

Grand Admiral Thrawn is a sneaky Imperial officer who is tasked by Darth Vader to crush the rebellion on Lothal at the beginning of season 3 of Star Wars: Rebels.  This marked his first appearance on screen as the character of Thrawn originated in the Star Wars Extended Universe (I think in some novels in the early '90s). He's a fan favourite though I had no real knowledge of him before seeing him on Rebels. He's deceitful, manipulative, and a great replacement for the Grand Inquisitor in terms of villainy despite not taking as active a role in fighting our heroes.

Robin Hood Ghost & Billy the Kid Ghost GC-04 (Ghost Change)

The next entry in the Ghost Change series contains the Robin Hood Ghost and Billy the Kid Ghost. These eyecons were typically used by Kamen Rider Ghost.

An interesting mix of an actual historical figure and a fictional character, these two ghosts are an unlikely pair. Yes both were outlaws but Robin Hood was a more virtuous thief whereas Billy the Kid was a vicious gunfighter. 

The Robin Hood damashii looks pretty much how you'd envision the ghost of the leader of the Merry Men of Sherwood Forest but Billy the Kid looks about as authentic as Marty McFly in Back to the Future III. It's a ridiculous approximation of a cowboy and I find it hilarious.

Police Ressha & Fire Ressha plus Cho Cho Ressha Gattai Cho Cho ToQ-DaiOh (Mini-pla)

Here are two out of the final three support trains plus as a bonus the combined form of the major three mecha and all the other combinations I haven't featured yet. ToQger was a series I really enjoyed and I'm glad I was able to collect all but the Shield Ressha so easily.

Police Train.

Fire Train.

Thunderbird 2 (TakaraTomy Tomica)

Naturally the next entry in my Thunderbirds collection must be Thunderbird 2 piloted by Virgil Tracy.

Thunderbird 2 was always cool because it could carry different pods for a variety of rescue missions including Thunderbird 4 and the Mole. The old Matchbox diecast Thunderbird 2 had spring loaded landing gear and a working pod for Thunderbird 4 but this one is solid with wheels on the bottom.

Ultraman Hikari Spark Doll

Ultraman Hikari is the secondary Ultraman from Ultraman Mebius. He is a scientist and apparently that is why he's blue. Blue is for science and red is for fighting. I haven't watched much of Mebius yet but did get to the episodes where Hikari is introduced in his alter-ego of Hunter Knight Tsurugi. As a longtime Star Trek fan I'll admit the pointy ears appealed to me in his design. The hexagonal colour timer is a nice departure from the classic circular design while also being similar to Mebius' diamond shaped one. Also he's got a brace on his right arm instead of Mebius' left.

Earth-2 Flash TV Version (DC Multiverse)

Spoilers ahead for season 2 of the Flash. Since the series is in its fifth season now I don't really feel bad.

The Earth-2 Flash is modelled after the original Golden Age Flash, Jay Garrick. He's got a ridiculous helmet and the standard lightning bolt on his chest. This being the TV version all the colours are toned down and muted something I was glad to see change as the series went on. Not every superhero show should strive to be Batman.

Captain Bucky O'Hare (Boss Fight Studios)

Bucky O'Hare is the Captain of the "Righteous Indignation" and the animated series was a favourite of mine as a kid. I later discovered the original comics by Larry Hama and Michael Golden. This giant green space rabbit was the figurehead for the fight against the encroaching Toad Empire.

Boss Fight Studios has done a pretty good job on these figures and I hope they get to produce the entire cast. I've got a few more so keep an eye out for those in the near-ish future.

As good a bio as I'd write.
