The Best at (Lumpy) Space.

It’s March, which means it’s no longer February. This is the basic concept of months and calendars people, what’s so hard to understand about it?

It also being March means there are 2 video games I”m excited for dropping this month (“Bioshock Infinite” and “Tomb Raider”) as well as the final Mass Effect 3 DLC, which drops this Tuesday. Serving as an unofficial tie-in to this event is the release of 2 new Mass Effect 3 Play Art Kai figures- the female default version of Commander Shepard, and female alien companion Tali’Xorah nar Rayya (yes, I had to Google the proper spelling of that name.). This marks the first all-female release for Kai line since…”Bayonetta” in 2010 FYI.

With the original (male) Commander Shepard, I had issues with the body sculpt, especially in the shoulder area. Female Shepard does away with those issues, and has a better default face, at least in my opinion. Tali’s no slouch either. A little difficult to stand up by herself due to her feet, but a damn fine figure regardless of that. The sculpt alone is worth the price of admission. By now you all know the drill, $60, best damn video game figures out on the market, etc.

Mass Effect isn’t the only space-based new release from Squenix in stock! The first wave of Halo 4 Play Art Kai figures are in stock, and DAMN, they are impressive looking. Granted they’re a lot more bulkier compared to more Play Art releases, they also meet and maintain the same levels of quality in sculpting, variant parts, paint jobs  and articulation their peers posses.  Wave 1 consists of both the Master Chief and the Blue Spartan Warrior, and you should definitely expect to see future releases be variants of said Spartans.

Focusing in on Square Enix based on actual Squenix properties, the 2nd wave of Final Fantasy Trading Art Kai figures are out, consisting of Tifa, Tidus and Lighting. I’d make fun of Tidus for a bit, but he comes with both a body that allows him to ride a Chocobo and a face that make him cry. This is both adorable and hilarious to me. Anywho, not much has changed since wave one with the products, with the exception of there maybe being more animals in this wave (Red XIII comes packaged with Tifa, and Tidus obviously with said chocobo). They’ll set you back $20 each, and if they’re anything like the first wave, expect them to fly off the shelves.

I’ll end the article with a slight shift in focus, one not related to Marvel Comics. As of late, Jazzware has begun to corner the market on Cartoon Network based toys. Another wave of Adventure Time figures has hit our shelves, as well as the first wave of figures based on the equally off-beat “Regular Show”. Aside from new spins on Jake and Finn, this series of AT toys is joined by fan favorite characters like The Ice King, Marceline the Vampire Queen and Lumpy Space Princess. All very cool, but the lack of Lemongrab is whack IMO. The Regular Show  figures also heavily focus on Rigby and Mordecai, but are forgiven because there are figures that are actually packed with Shudder Shades. It’s amazing what I’ll forgiven when those are involved. Since these are focused on younger audiences, they’re prices cheaper at $10-$20, but if you buy em for yourselves I won’t tell anyone. But you’ll owe me.

    Along with almost everything that seems to be developing throughout this particular subject matter, many of your perspectives are actually somewhat exciting. Nonetheless, I am sorry, because I do not give credence to your whole plan, all be it exciting none the less. It seems to us that your comments are actually not totally justified and in actuality you are your self not even fully certain of your assertion. In any case I did enjoy examining it.
    I do enjoy the manner in which you have framed this specific situation plus it really does supply us some fodder for thought. Nonetheless, through what I have witnessed, I basically wish as the opinions stack on that people remain on issue and don’t get started upon a soap box associated with some other news of the day. Yet, thank you for this exceptional point and even though I do not really go along with it in totality, I value the perspective.
    Virtually all of the things you claim happens to be supprisingly appropriate and that makes me ponder why I had not looked at this in this light before. This particular piece really did switch the light on for me as far as this subject matter goes. Nonetheless there is actually just one factor I am not necessarily too cozy with and while I attempt to reconcile that with the actual core theme of your point, allow me observe what all the rest of your readers have to point out.Nicely done.
    The very root of your writing while appearing agreeable originally, did not really settle very well with me after some time. Someplace throughout the paragraphs you actually managed to make me a believer unfortunately only for a very short while. I nevertheless have got a problem with your jumps in logic and one might do nicely to fill in all those breaks. When you can accomplish that, I could surely end up being fascinated.
    In this great scheme of things you’ll get an A with regard to effort and hard work. Where exactly you actually confused everybody was first in the specifics. You know, people say, details make or break the argument.. And that could not be more accurate at this point. Having said that, permit me inform you exactly what did work. The authoring is actually rather convincing and this is most likely why I am making an effort to comment. I do not really make it a regular habit of doing that. Secondly, even though I can notice the leaps in reasoning you make, I am not confident of how you seem to unite your details which help to make the final result. For now I will subscribe to your position but trust in the foreseeable future you link the dots better.
