I found this Primal Age Wonder Woman on eBay for cheap, and though she is the first 5.5" Funko figure I've purchased, I have considered their Primal Age and Savage World offerings in that scale. Then Mattel dropped their MOTU Origins line, which kept me very busy. But this figure fits in particularly well with other 5.5" fantasy action figures- Wonder Woman is based on Greek Mythology, so her warrior queen aesthetic is a little more seamless transition than some of the other Primal Age figures in my opinion.

Legends of Dragonore Wave 1
I had been watching this Legends of Dragonore for the last year on BBTS, and recently bit the bullet only a few days before it sold out on their website- I'm unsure if they will come back, but a Wave 1.5 in variant deco is up for preorder. Since Mattel started dropping MOTU Origins in 2020 my interest in 5.5" figures has been greatly rekindled, so Formo Toys' Legends of Dragonore proved too difficult to resist! Check out the video:

MOTU Masterverse Battle Cat, 40th Anniv. & Battle Armor He-Man, Teela, Prince Adam
Plowing through some more Masterverse I've been collecting this past year! When Mattel dropped solicitations for both the Masterverse and Origins line, I decided then and there to stick to the Origins line- firmly rooted in my nostalgia for the original '80s toys. I stuck to that for a few years, but after picking a couple Masterverse figures up I was hooked! I've done three posts on Masterverse villains, so I figured it was time to bust open some of the Heroic Warriors!

McFarlane Toys DC Multiverse Black Lighting (Gold Label)
I bumped into this McFarlane Toys Gold Label Black Lighting at an out of the way Walmart today, and though I find some of these figures to have problematic articulation, I often like their sculpt/deco, and one is released that I am compelled to buy. I had to have this one!
And finally, Black Lightning with McFarlane Toys Green Lantern John Stewart, Jay Garrick Flash, Martian Manhunter, and Aquaman. This figure fits in great with a lot of my McFarlane DC Multiverse- because of his flashy design and bold color, he mixes well with the retro-styled figures I tend to gravitate towards. Makes me want to find some more McFarlane figures- Recommended!

MOTU Origins Talon Fighter & Point Dread, King Randor, Whiplash
I've had these King Randor and Whiplash figures on ice for over a year (I'm a busy guy), so I thought it was time to crack 'em open and get a good look. They are spectacular and did not disappoint...
