Apologies in advance for the large photo dump, but here's my birthday haul:
Marvel Infinity Saga pickups




I don't play Apex Legends (battle royale isn't my scene) but this version of Bloodhound really drew my attention. The overall design really reminds me of Horizon Zero Dawn but then with the gun that looks like it's from District 9, the cool axe, and the raven I was all in. It's not a great figure with some limited articulation due to design around the shoulders and then the paint scheme isn't particularly detailed but I still think it's alright overall.


Movie Baroness is a decent Classified figure. The neck is a bit too long, her fingers should be skin colored, and the lower left knee hinge is totally stuck on mine but the gun is nicely done and the blades are just gravy since I don't remember those being in the movie at all.


Lando in his general attire be like "would ya get going ye space pirate, arrrrr!" Seriously though it's a solid if simple figure, he looks good and is sufficiently articulated. The soft goods cape is still iffy, I feel like Vader is the only one they've really done it well with. It'd be nice if we wind up getting a Nien Nunb to go with Lando here.


Ciri from McFarlane is as impressive as their Geralt, maybe more so. I think the hair is possibly a bit too full on the sides but other than that the figure has a lot of nice sculpted and painted detail. Her sword's hilt is chunky but overall it's a well made accessory and the attachable "blink" dashing effect looks cool but adds a bit of weight to it and also takes up a decent amount of space.


Lastly then, the entire build-a-shark wave from The Suicide Squad. I originally wasn't thrilled to see this version of Harley in the wave but after actually seeing the movie I warmed up to this look and the figure is pretty good but I think her skin tone should be paler and the javelin should be a bit longer. Peacemaker is pretty cool except for the no-gun policy but thankfully for me I actually already had a nice 1/10 scale deagle that came with DST's Jules. Bloodsport is okay but again no guns and his sci-fi motif is harder to match with anything I already have, his copper parts are also a bit too clean and like a new penny in color when they should look more like an old dirty penny. Polka Dot Man is perfectly fine, nothing wrong here since he didn't use guns and I liked him in the movie so he's nice to have in the group. Nanaue is obviously the big winner of the assortment even though this collect to build version's pants are missing the tacky pattern seen in the movie and on the Gold Label release, he's still just a good large shark guy. Really feeling the void left by not having Ratcatcher in the line now, but fingers crossed they get to her sooner than later.
