Walmart finds. I passed on the regular Azrael because I was just never all that fond of Jean-Paul as a character but I did think the toy looked well sculpted. So it's nice for me to be able to get the suit of sorrows repaint and have the same nice figure but now it's the Michael Lane version which I think has a slightly better look given the whole knight templar crusader theme fitting the character's zealot status. Having never picked up the original I didn't know that the fire on his sword was removable and also reversible so he can be displayed planting the sword and the fire is still going up which is pretty cool.

I also finally found the NECA Rhino Alien after basically resigning myself to never having it so that was a great surprise. I never saw the original orange version and by the time I was prepared to just order it online they revealed this repaint which I thought brought out more of the fantastic sculpt but until now I never saw this one either. This thing is fairly massive compared to the standard Alien and looks excellent. All of the joints on mine are quite solid, if anything some are too tight but nothing's outright stuck. It can stand upright but the feet are proportionally small so it naturally works better in quadrupedal poses. The dome is removable and doing so reveals some nice additional sculpting underneath.
