Lion-O (Savage World)

Lord of the Thundercats, Lion-O, is here in 80's-tastic glory and in a whole new scale. He is armed as always with the Sword of Omens and his claw shield. The Savage World continues to be fun and I'll get into the second wave in a little bit. I try to do a bit of a rotation through my various fandoms but there's no hard and fast schedule. And as a peek behind the curtain I'll often prepare several posts at once but after nearly ruining the fun of this blog with a few too many theme weeks I'm sticking to a strict one post per week rate. It allows me more freedom and less deadline stress. Because toys are supposed to be fun right?

That was bit longer winded than I tend to be especially about stuff that's not the figure on display. That's probably because I've talked about three other Savage World figures already and I did talk a bit more about Lion-O in my post about his Thundercats Classics figure.

Lando Calrissian from Empire Strikes Back (Star Wars Black Series)

"How ya doin' you old pirate?!"

Lando Calrissian is an old friend of Han Solo's who harbours the Millennium Falcon on his Cloud City on the planet Bespin after Leia, Han, Chewbacca, and the droids escape from the Empire after the battle of Hoth.

This figure pulled straight from "The Empire Strikes Back" and captures the charm of the character pretty well. The face sculpt really looks like Billy Dee Williams.  I don't have as strong a completionist mania for Star Wars figures like I do for some of the other lines I collect but I definitely wanted a Lando. (Maybe even two! Stay tuned for that...)

Klingon Vor'cha Attack Cruiser (Eaglemoss Collectibles)

The Next Generation introduced this new ship class for the Kingon Empire as the flagship for Chancellor K'mpec. It's a very neat evolution from the original series battle cruisers and looks cool. 

These little models are very detailed but don't have any articulation or anything to discuss. They also are difficult for a novice like me to photograph particularly well. But I loves me some Star Trek and TNG is where it all started for me so here we go.

Darla (Shazam! Movie)

Darla Dudley is the youngest member of the new Shazam Family. Her exuberance and excitement shine through even in her lightning-clad magical form.

Mumm-Ra the Everliving (Savage World)

"Ancient Spirits of Evil, transform this decayed form to Mumm-Ra, the Ever-Living!" 

Continuing wave 1 of the Savage World Thundercats we have the biggest of the big bads on Third Earth, Mumma-Ra! Mild mannered mummy Mumm-Ra prays to his sinister gods to give him the nigh-omnipotent Ever-Living form seen here.

I think Mumm-Ra continues the trend of the villains looking better in this style than the Thundercats as he and Slithe really seem to belong in this chunky aesthetic. Not that the others look bad or anything but in general the Thundercats are lithe rather than bulky.

Kamen Rider Necrom GC-09 (Ghost Change)

Kamen Rider Necrom is the villainous rider in Kamen Rider Ghost. He continues the awesomeness of the black and neon colour schemes of the base forms of the riders and he's got green accents which might be my favourite. The white of the body does help differentiate him from Ghost and Specter but doesn't excite me as much.

Necrom is Prince Alain of the Gamma and he is competing with Ghost to collect the legendary damashii. His armour has an eyedropper/microscope theme that takes the whole "eye-con" shtick to another level. I love it.

Alain is a beautiful bad-boy in the vein of Kamen Rider Zangetsu from Gaim and his green and black poncho is a thing I would totally wear but probably wouldn't pull off as well. 

Samurai Michaelangelo (Tales of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2012)

The Party Dude of the Shogun period! We come to the final figure from the "Tales of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" story arc featuring Usagi Yojimbo.

This being the fourth Samurai Turtle figure I've blogged about, I don't know that I have much else to add. The colours are fun, it would've been nice to see the weapons painted but that's not for this toyline. The unpainted weapons do harken back to the original TMNT toyline.
