Well the Mafex figures are typically much more poseable than most figures. I don't personally own any so I can't really attest if the quality is actually better than say a Legends figure.

Found a foot tall plastic Dalek decked out in Union Jack colors. Had to have it—especially when I saw the age recommendation was 5-70!!

So stumbling around Amazon the other day, I saw two Funko Pop vinyl figures on sale, based on the 1980 FLASH GORDON... a Ming the Merciless, and a General Klytus...
I have a bad feeling this is how it begins...!

They also have Flash himself, and Vultan. Not a fan of the movie, so skipping these. (I've thought for years that Klytus' mask would be a good way to do Doctor Doom. In grey, of course.)

I don’t have any interest in The Office Pops, but I will pick up this Kevin’s chili keychain. Hopefully, an “after” version comes out as well.

X-Plus / Shonan-RIC USA, one of the well-known producers of high quality giant monster figures, has given a sneak peek at some of the upcoming releases (including some Ray Harryhausen creatures):
New Products List 2020
Since I already have the Deforeal Mecha-Godzilla 1974 on preorder, will have to pick up the 1975 version as well.

JB, with X-Plus the sculptors try to recreate every exact detail of the original filming monster suit or the stop-motion animation figure, including the molding seams, zipper lines, and even the latex wrinkles that were on some of the classic Toho and Ultraman robot character suits.

I checked, and didn’t see those seams in any clips from the movie.
