Finally had time to do some unboxing of the imports that were beginning to pile up...
Nendoroid Boba Fett, from Good Smile Company:
He was a lot easier to put together and pose, than the Darth Vader one.

The S.H. Figuarts Zoffy (Ultraman's Superior Officer), from Tamashi Nations / Bandai:
Not only does he get the optional hands and beam effects, but he also comes with Ultraman's Beta Capsule, and an interchangeable "dead" Ultraman head.

And the Movie Revo Nautilus, from Kaiyodo:
For something under 11" in length, it has an incredible amount of detail, and also has a bit of a heft to it, in terms of weight. The propeller turns, the rudder moves, and the ships boat can be detached. The miniature piece that comes with it is also nicely detailed and painted (might make a great playing piece for the NEMO'S WAR board game).
The photos above show where the battery compartment is located (3 watch batteries), and that all of the tiny hatches open up (the pilot tower and diver hatches hide the switches for the light-up features). The hatch in front of the pilot house popped off by accident, and it took some careful use of tweezers to put it back in place again.

As a child, it was always a delight when birthday and Xmas packages from relatives in England would include Corgi toys. I had quite a collection. So you can imagine what I thrill it was to discover Corgi is now making superhero statuettes, including this lady:

Love those types of situations JB. I like the Cap statue that they have too. Must, resist, tell myself, stick to 1/6 scale for any statues.
