1:18 Action Figure News, Reviews, and Checklists
G3-5LE is from the Disney World Star Tours attraction.
This figure was released in the Star Wars Original Trilogy Collection released in 2005 by Hasbro.
This figure is a little pricey on Ebay at the moment from $30-$45.
Trashcan is from the 2009 animated Astroboy movie.
This figure is part of a two-pack that came with a Weapon drone. The Astroboy action figure line was made by Jazwares in 2009, the same year the movie came out.
This little guy doesn’t show up too much for sale. There is 1 currently on Ebay.
This is a 3 figure set made by Aquamarine. Just like the Goblin-Kun by Aplhamax, these goblins are similar to the goblins in the anime Goblin Slayer
The figures come in a box with images of the figures on the front, back, and each of the sides. When you open the box each figure comes packaged in its own little baggie.
I ordered them from Amiami but they are also available on Ebay.
Each goblin is most differentiated by their heads and the position of their legs. Goblin 1 is standing and has his tongue out. Goblin 2 is slightly bending his knees and grinning. Goblin 3 is squatting and drooling.
Compared to a Boss Fight Studio Vitruvian HACKS Blank each goblin is about 3/4s the height.
Here are all four goblins in this style.
In addition to the goblins there is a pack of accessories. A rudimentary sword, a club, and a rock.
They all have a hole in them that fits a peg on each goblin’s hand to hold the accessory.
Each goblin is made using the same structure so you are able to mix and match each one to get them to look however you wish.
Here is a parts image. The chest piece goes over the cross shaped piece that gives the shoulder and upper torso articulation.
Goblintaur – You’re welcome.
Grim is what happens when you take a monster truck and turn it into an action figure.
These new Monster Jam Creatures figures are made in 2020 by Spin Master Toys as part of the 1:64 scale monster trucks that they make.
I found this guy at Target. I would assume he’ll show up at Wal-Mart as well at some point. He is also available from Amazon.
Grim seems to be a cross between Skeletor and Phantom Skykiller.
His paint applications are pretty basic with solid colors for most of the figure.
Unfortunately this figure does not have much in the way of articulation.
Grim does come with a 1:64 version of the Monster Truck Grave Digger he was comes from. I don’t collect mini cars so that is going straight to the store.
Not really an accessory per se but he has some killer boots.
Just like the other figures in this line Grim stands right around the 5″ mark. This whole line is a little larger than typical 1:18 scale figures I feature here but could work as a larger type character. Similar to how I use Ninja Turtle Villains and some 2K Masters of the Universe figures.
This figure is also very reminiscent to Chap Mei figures that I love. It was an easy decision to add all 3 figures of this line (so far) to my collection even if they are a little larger than I usually collect.
The Knights of the Slice February edition of the Action Figure of the Month is a stone deco version of Chakan. I guess he didn’t get along with Medusa too well.
Petit’gguy aka Bearguy is actually a huge MECH in the Gundam universe but I got the figure to be a cutesy little robot for my 1:18 collection.
This figure is a Bandai Hobby HGBF 1/144 Lightning Blue Petit-Beargguy Gundam Build Fighters Model Kit that you have to put together from its spru. I was able to put it together very easily so It’s not like a challenge or anything.
These things a pretty cheap and can be found between $5-$15 depending on what color and style you would want. Amazon has bunches of styles and colors. I ordered mine from BBTS.com, It is sold out of this color but there are other colors and styles available.
Captain Black is what happens when you take a monster truck and turn it into an action figure.
These new Monster Jam Creatures figures are made in 2020 by Spin Master Toys as part of the 1:64 scale monster trucks that they make.
Captain Black is a pretty sweet looking skeleton pirate with both a hook and and an anchor for a peg-leg. It doesn’t really get any cooler than that.
His paint applications are pretty basic with solid colors for most of the figure.
Unfortunately this figure does not have much in the way of articulation.
Captain Black does come with a 1:64 version of the Monster Truck Pirate’s Curse he was spawned from. I don’t collect mini cars so that is going straight to the store.
Pirate Black stands right around the 5″ mark. This whole line is a little larger than typical 1:18 scale figures I feature here but could work as a larger type character. Similar to how I use Ninja Turtle Villains and some 2K Masters of the Universe figures.
This figure is very reminiscent to Chap Mei figures that I love. It was an easy decision to add all 3 figures of this line (so far) to my collection even if they are a little larger than I usually collect.
The Mobile Mastiff is a robotic dog from a Chinese animated show called World Peacekeepers.
The figure is from a line made by M&C Toy Centre that also makes the Army figures called Power Team Elite – World Peacekeepers as well. The two lines are completely separate things though. The animation line is really pretty great for Sci-Fi lovers.
I got mine directly from the manufacturer from their website. They do have a few hoops to jump through but the process is fairly simple still.
Maximus appears to be a monster truck transformed into an action figure. That is all.
The figure is from a new line called Monster Jam : Creatures by Spin Master Toys. Pretty neat figure regardless that he only sports 5 areas of articulation. Swivel neck, Hinge pin shoulders, and T Swivel hips.
Easy to find since these just came out. I got this one at Target and Amazon has a listing up.
So I guess this is actually supposed to be a MECH of some sort. Being 3.75″ it fits in well as just a regular droid though.
This figure is part of the Super 7 Robotech ReAction line made in 2017.
Amazon still has a couple of these as well as Ebay but both are marked up. BBTS and Super7s website was sold out.
