3 3/4" action figure – Page 7 – 1:18 Action Figure Archive

WakuWaku! Goblin Village

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.

Goblin 1 – Standing with tongue out

Goblin 2 – Bent knees and grinning

Goblin 3 – 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.

Articulation:

Barbel upper neck
Ball lower neck
Ball shoulders
Ball mid-torso
T-bar hips

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.

Grim : Monster Jam Creatures

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.

Sculpt:

Grim seems to be a cross between Skeletor and Phantom Skykiller.

Paint:

His paint applications are pretty basic with solid colors for most of the figure.

1:18 Action Figure Archive Reviews Checklist Guide Spin Master Toys Monster Jam Creatures Grim

Articulation:

Unfortunately this figure does not have much in the way of articulation.

Swivel neck
Swivel peg and hinge shoulders
Swivel T-hips

Accessories:

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.

Size and scale:

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.

Final thoughts:

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.

Stone Chakan : February 2020 Action Figure of the Month

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 : Droid of the Day – 02/14/2020

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 : Monster Jam Creatures

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.

Sculpt:

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.

Paint:

His paint applications are pretty basic with solid colors for most of the figure.

Mobile Mastiff : Droid of the Day – 02/13/2020

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 : Droid of the Day – 02/12/2020

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.

Zentraedi Battle Pod : Droid of the Day – 02/11/2020

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.

Check the Archive for more figures:

Amazon still has a couple of these as well as Ebay but both are marked up. BBTS and Super7s website was sold out.

Bytes : Droid of the Day – 02/10/2020

Bytes is a robotic dog from the children’s cartoon Rusty Rivets on Nickelodeon.

The Rusty Rivets line was made by Spin Master Toys in 2017. He came in a two pack with Ruby. I picked up this figure on a whim during my last trip to the local Toys R Us. I have actually tracked down all the rest of the robots from this line now. One really neat feature that I will show in a later post is the combine-ability of the random parts included in these sets.

This figure is pretty easy to find on Amazon since it is still a fairly newish figure.

Lug : Droid of the Day – 02/08/2020

Lug is from the 2005 Robots movie voiced by Harland Williams. Lug came in a two pack as part of the 3.5″ Mix and Match line.

Ebay is the best place to find this figure. It is a bit hit and miss since the line is a very generic word “Robots”. I got this figure as part of lot from Ebay a few years ago.
