[Dr Kain]

So my initial impressions of my new figures:

Cannonball - Dude ain't got no legs. I can't do anything with him, so I'm glad I got this half toy for half price.

Wolverine - Sucks. His claws can't even be removed. Utter waste of a figure and should have been an exclusive or something without a BAF part.

Vindicator - Pretty cool. Really good paint apps all around, especially since 90% of the ones I have seen in stores had the red leaf on the chest messy as hell.

Wendigo - He's cool. The tail doesn't seem to want to rotate though and I fear if I force it it will tear the peg right off the body.

Silver Samurai - He's cool.

Puck - No ab crunch, hardly any posseability, which sucks for a dude that is supposed to be agile.

Snow Owl - Paint apps are great but her neck is too long. Or the head doesn't go down far enough. Plus, the neck disc can not support the head's weight, so it slides back, permenantly keeping her in a looking up pose. Love the face. The arms a little too wobbly though.

Northstar - The white is a little messy on the backside of his shoulders, but the front looks great. No complaints here.

Aurora - Her arms are... weird. I had to heat them up to unfreeze the joints and yet, I still feel like the arms are very fragile. It also doesn't helpt that the lower arms don't seem to be pushed into the upper arms all of the way despite them not moving farther in when I tried. I'm worried she is going to break just by sneezing in her vicinity. Paint job is fantastic though.

Shaman - Like with Aurora, I had to heat his arms up as they were horribly crooked at the elbow joint. Other than that, he's great. Face is impressive too.

Female Vindicator - The worst of the bunch. Her legs from the thigh swivel down are a reddish shade of white instead of the pearl white used on the torso and upper part of the legs. He neck is way too long as well. She might as well be called The Giraffe.

Overall, except for Wolverine, I am pleased with them, especially at the discounted prices I paid. It is nice to finally have Wendigo completed so I no longer have to have his parts just chillin in the case. It's also great to have Alpha Flight done and over with so quickly. If only Hasbro could have been this fast to finishing off the initial Claremont X-Men team.

I know, but I mean the Heisei era of Japan since Toho considers Shin to be Reiwa.

The problem is that despite getting rereleased, Sony has yet to give them proper subtitles. Most of them use dubtitles, especially the Millennium films and the 93 MechaGodzilla film. Plus, GvsKG and GvsM92 are missing their end credits.

Criterion would go back and give all of the films proper translations like they did with the Showa set.
