Jaaks Pacific Altered Beast - Weredragon

My first memories of Altered Beast are mostly  arcade related. I remember not caring about beating the game as much as I did turning into the main characters alternate beast mode. "POWER UP!"  😆 Weredragon was pretty indestructible, using his Blanka-esque body enveloping electricity move to fend off evil hordes of ogre zombies, blobs and wasp-men. 


Weredragon feels solid and heavy in hand. What toy collectors would refer to as a  "chunky" action figure.


The electric bolt accessory fits snug in Weredragon's mouth, looks organic and flows with the head sculpt. You can almost hear the 16-bit crackling effect ⚡

The wings move up and down for outstretched or closed display. Weredragon's tail, while limited , is also articulated. 
And just for reference, here's Weredragon next to a couple of larger Marvel Universe figures.

      Quick tip. If you don't see them in the toy aisle, check the video game section toy aisle 😉

    It's been a long time since I played Altered Beast, so I don't remember the Weredragon... but this is a cool looking figure.

      I believe you turned into the wolf first then Waredragon.

    Impressive the have the wings fold down for that one time at the end of the level when the dragon lands!. Keep these SEGA figures reviews coming.

    Can't find anything but the Werewolf and Axel, and they are now on clearance, so doubtful my area is getting any others.

CT Toys - Spider-Man (Classic)

CT Toys is heavy on my radar right now. I was pleasantly surprised with Wolverine but this Spider-Man figure has made me a full fledged believer. Included are 5 sets of alternate hands, 1 with magnets (6 in all if you count the ones he comes equipped with), 1 extra set of articulated feet with magnets, 4 web streams and an alternate McFarlane style head sculpt. Oh, and a display stand.  I've said in the past how sucky I am at posing action figures. That said, MAFEX/CT figs are great for posing, even if you're not very good at it. It's "kid gloves" with these guys, though, as they are a little gummier than Legends figures.  CT Toys Wolvie and Spidey!  Here's CT Toys Spidey next to a couple of Marvel Legends Spider-Man figures. The differences are pretty pronoun...

1990 Toy Biz Marvel Superheroes Daredevil

Growing up we had lots of cool superhero toys to collect. There was never a shortage of Batman, Superman or Spiderman figures in the toy aisles. Mainstream characters got all the love. Dudes like Daredevil, not so much. That all changed in the mid to late 80's (Mattel Secret Wars) and in 1990 Toy Biz would start releasing their seemingly neverending line of Marvel Superheroes that gave us action figures of everybody from  Daredevil to Deathlok.
