Action Figure #696: Marvel Legends Sauron (SDCC 2025 Three-Pack)

 No, not the one from Lord of the Rings.

 And now Sauron the other BIG reason I bought this three pack four. Sauron, much like Annihilus, has been a character I've been waiting for a long, LONG time, and if this was the only way I could get him, well, I damn well will!

 Our boy Sauron features a completely new, 100% unique sculpt all to himself. And he looks glorious. His entire body features sculpted scales, and his body is painted with two tones of greens to highlight all the details. His tail is made of bendy plastic, allowing you to turn it around, and he also features a pink energy accessory that slots on his nose.

 Articulation-wise, he has single jointed elbows with a bend that reaches slightly over 90 degrees, double jointed knees, swivels on his biceps and thighs as well as a ball jointed ab crunch. His jaw can be articulated, and his neck is on a double jointed ball joint that gives his head plenty of range. Overall, while not the most articulated figure out there, it gets the job done for Sauron. He is easy to pose and get him looking menacing. He is also fairly tall, towering over ol' good Bucky Cap.

 Well... I wanted a Sauron and Hasbro delivered in every single front. The figure is fantastic and everything I could've hoped for.

Action Figure #695: Marvel Legends Shanna the She-Devil(SDCC 2025 Three-Pack)

 Not to be confused with Sheena, also of the jungle. Also blonde.

 Shanna the She-Devil was the real reason I got this pack, because with Zabu and Ka-zar, she was the last figure missing to finish Savage Land threesome.

 Much like Rogue, she too is built on the Shriek buck. She looks identical to Rogue, but the breat-piece is mirrored, and the arm-guards are different too, although the skirt piece is identical. Unlike Rogue, Shanna's headsculpt is beautiful and appropriate for the character, she looks great honestly! She comes with two fists, two gripping hands, two open hands that don't fit Shanna at all, a different Spear from Rogue's, a knife and... a rifle. A Rifle she can't hold correctly since she doesn't have trigger fingers, and, honestly, I don't think that accessory fits her very well.

 Articulation-wise she is identical to Rogue. Double jointed elbows and knees, with swivels on her biceps, thighs and boots. Her ab crunch is on a ball joint and she has no waist articulation. She's almost as tall as Bucky Cap.

 Unlike Rogue, everything about Shanna is perfect. Even if the rifle doesn't fit her, it's still a neat extra to have. Still, everything I could've wanted out of a Shanna figure is here.

Action Figure #694: Marvel Legends Rogue (Savage Land) (SDCC 2025 Three-Pack)

 Some say she's Miley Cyrus... I say she's just baked.

 Let me tell you, getting Rogue (Savage Land) from the SDCC 2025 Marvel Snap Three Pack was quite the hassle... albeit a bit easier than the Star Wars 2-Pack. I already wrote about it in that entry, so let's get on with the figure, shall we?

 Savage Land Rogue is Rogue's most famous alternate costumes because, like it or not, sex sells, and the covers depicting her in this costume have always sold well. She is built on the Shriek Mold, which fits her really well, and they managed to make a very good adaptation of the Savage Land look into plastic. It's not perfect, but it's really good. The only big point against it is the hideous head sculpt. Apparently they based it off Miley Cyrus, but she just looks very, very high. She comes with two fists, two grabby hands, two open hands that I don't think would go well with this look, a knife(That can be holstered on her belt) and a lance.

 A face only a mother could love.

 Being based off of the Shriek sculpt means she gets the second best female buck. Double jointed elbows and knees, with swivels on her biceps, thighs and boots. Her ab crunch is on a ball joint and she has no waist articulation. She's almost as tall as Bucky Cap.

 On one hand... it is a good representation of the Savage Land Rogue, and I do appreciate the amount of accessories... but on the other hand, the head sculpt is hideous... Ah well, whatever, I'll be nice, I'll take it, she's a fine figure.

Action Figure #693: Power Rangers Lightning Collection Mighty Morphin Ninja White Ranger

 A white power joke would be too risque with how this one dresses, right?

 It took a long time coming, because Mighty Morphin Ninja White Ranger has turned out to be the most expensive of the Ninjas, but he is finally here, the final Ninja Ranger to complete the team!

 Y'know the deal, he looks just like the other ninja ranger. Good sculpt, yadda yadda. The White Ninja is a bit different in that the white rhombuses and belt are black now, which look really good on him. He comes with three alternate heads, two fists, two open palm hands, and a hit effect piece. The unmasked head sculpt is fine, but the likeness to the actor could've been a bit better.

 The unmasked headsculpt, in my case, has a bit of a splotchy paint job, sadly.

 Articulation is almost as good as the rest of the line. He has double jointed elbows and knees, swivels on his thighs, boots and biceps. He has no ab crunch, and his waist seems to be ball jointed, but you won't get much beyond spinning his torso. He has butterfly joints and drop down hips but I didn't seem able to get more than a few millimeters from his hips. He is almost as tall as Bucky Cap. 

 Well, he is as good as any other ninja figure. I do like his color scheme in particular because the black accents on the white costume look really, REALLY good, making him, probably, my favorite of the bunch... even if just by very little.

Action Figure #692: Power Rangers Lightning Collection Mighty Morphin Ninja Pink Ranger(Kimberly)

 So, they are like twinsies then?

 Well, it wasn't in my plans to get the Mighty Morphin Ninja Pink Ranger (Kimberly), but there was some issues shipping the White Ninja Ranger(Spoilers!) so the seller threw her in for free. And because she was a freebie, customs over here freaked out and I had to show them my bank account statements, freaks!

 Well... same exact sculpt as Kat, and same accessories are her. I got her loose, so I only get the fists and the unmasked head, which coincidentally, would've been the accessories I would've equipped her with! All that said, the headsculpt bears little resemblance to Amy Jo Johnson, and something about it just looks off.

 Same articulation as the other figure. Her hip articulation feels a bit stiffer, however. Same exact height as well. Just look up the previous entry! It was #644.

 Well... She's alright, and she doesn't have QC issues, but I prefer Kat. Better headsculpt, and the yellow hair looks better on the pink body, I think. Still, a solid figure.
