Jaaks Pacific Revenge of Shinobi - Joe Musashi

The first ever martial arts themed video game I played was Kung - Fu on an arcade machine. I have vague memories of playing Ninja Gaiden on my friends NES but it wasn't until I owned a Sega Genesis that I would be introduced to Shinobi!

The Revenge of Shinobi on the Genesis was a nicely balanced, hack and slash/shmup with addicting gameplay. Walking around, dishing out ninja ass whippings with Joe Musashi was epic! Now, thanks to Jaaks Pacific, we can own the figure! 
I am pleasantly surprised by the quality of this figure. It's pretty solid and has a good amount of articulation. 28 points to be exact. I was able to get Musashi into some decent poses. 
I love the scowl on Musashis's face. The flowing scarf is also a nice touch. 
At 5 inches tall, you're not gonna find many lines that scale well with these Jaaks figures. I don't mind that. I like that they have their own identity. Not everything has to be the same size. Here he is next to a modern TMNT and a DC Spinmaster figure. 
Having this figure makes me wanna fire up the game on my Sega Genesis Classic Mini. It's gonna happen. In the meantime, stay tuned! More JP Sega Genesis action figures on the way 🎮

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

Image
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.
