Nightshadow Leo TMNT 2012 Exclusive

I spotted this guy in Forbidden Planet a few weeks ago and couldn't pass him up, even though he was pretty pricey for what he is! I think he was originally the San Diego Comic Con exclusive back in 2012 but he's obviously made his way out and about - which is great news because I'd freaking love to eventually get my hands on the exclusive black and white Raphael that was at this year's con!

In black and white this figure looks amazing! In colour he's also very cool, but because of the extreme black shading, black and white really makes this guy pop out.

He's sculpted on the new TMNT Nickelodeon cartoon Leonardo and the paint and shading is based off of art work... which I don't really know anything about - if you do, please let me know!

Articulation is minimal on this guy, his shoulders move a tiny bit and his swords can be sheathed, but he's mainly just a model to be admired!

He comes with a sewer lid base that has his name written on it, and it's in the same black with some nice green highlights.

Leo's not really one for just picking up if you want to play with or pose him, and he's certainly not a kid friendly figure, but I'm glad to have him in my TMNT collection! Go Figure!

Fezbongo is a photo taking champ. Go look at his tumblr for more evidence!

NECA NES Jason Voorhees

Ever since I saw this guy I knew I had to have him. I'm a fan of the Friday the 13th franchise and a videogame fan, so really it was a no brainer to pick this guy up when I could. Thankfully Amazon had him at a very reasonable price so he quickly became mine!

And look at him! Isn't he awesome?!

The packaging made to look like the NES videogame box art is great and it's even better that it's a hinged door to a window display of the toy, so cool. The colour scheme of this guy is crazy, but nails the in game look of Jason with his wacky purple and light blue colours.

The light blue of his mask (which is removable), shoes, hands, and blades of his machete and hatchet all glow in the dark which is a nice touch. This figure is from NECA so is just the same model of Jason that we've seen in the past, but that's no bad thing as he's a great figure. Here he is with my battle damaged Friday the 13th Part 3 Jason

As you can see (other than the battle damage of Jason's face) they're the same sculpt and figure, just updated paint jobs.

This NES Jason is excellent though, it appeals to the old school video game nerd, toy nerd and horror nerd inside of me all at the same time, which is just great!

Articulation wise, his head moves side to side and up and down just a tiny bit. His arms move out and up and down at the shoulders, a single elbow bend and his hands can spin right round and pivot a little. He has a bit of a diaphragm crunch, his legs move forward at the hips but not back really, his knees bend and his ankles move a little. It's not a ton of movement but enough to get him standing with no issues holding one of his weapons and looking menacing!

Keep your eyes peeled for my thoughts on the rest of the NECA 8-bit inspired figures, coming this way soon! Go Figure!

My man Fezbongo was good enough to take these shots for me so in turn you should go look at his tumblr, I'm hidden in there!
