The French Sailor Moon is a girl in ladybug spandex...
I'm talking about the Miraculous Ladybug.
That show...
I've seen like 4 episodes so far and I find it enjoyable, despite the cliches. If you've seen Sailor Moon or Power Rangers, you'll have a slight idea of what's with the cliches.
It's a French Magical Girl show where you have people being turned into supervillains by the main baddie who is most likely the dad of the "Tuxedo Kamen" of this show... Again, only seen 4 episodes of season one. Last year I had seen a few toys from this show when looking for custom fodder. It popped on my Netflix suggested shows feed and I started watching.
There is one thing that makes me giggle unintentionally... The way people are turned into villains... Akuma butterflies.
You can guess what my brain pictures every time the name Akuma is mentioned.
I wish I could do a more in depth review, but I still need to watch a bit more and I'd prefer to have power to make the review a bit better. It's far from perfect, but I do enjoy it a lot more than the Piss in Boots series... Autocorrect win right there.

It Came from the Future Lunar Toy chest: In the name of the Future Moon and stuff...
Sailor Moon Week ends with Sailor Moon... Albino Midget Edition, better known as Chibi Moon, Daughter of Sailor Moon and Tuxedo Mask.Here's a random video giving her her own opening, but it kinda explains who she is...
Articulation:
The Articulation on ALL 
Now specifically for Mini Moon, her Pigtails are articulated. They are on a ball joint that allows for some dynamic posing... Just like Mama! Also, her hands have a slight disadvantage over Mama and friends. They lack the hinge, but to be fair on such a small figure with TINY Hands it would be a nightmare to have that POA AND interchangeability. Doable, yes, but customer friendly it wouldn't be.5.0
Paint and Sculpt:
Paintwise I lucked out on my Chibi Moon. I've seen a few online reviews that have had super sloppy paintjobs for a Figuarts figure. The extra shading in her hair makes her pop! The sculpt, well. it's brand new, so it's a bit refreshing compared to the other Senshi... Obviously they have similarities, but the differences make her pop 5.0
Accessories:
-Pink Moon Stick
-Stand
-3 Extra Faceplates-Extra hairpiece for the Super Chibi Moon Mode
-10 extra hands
As you can see Chibi Moon is super Equipped with stuff.
5.0
Overall:
It's kinda hard to find flaws in these figures, aside wanting MORE stuff with them. 5.0 Chibi works surprisingly well, despite being super hated in the West. I NEVER intended to get these, but Stupid ass Naruto had to be so damn cool. If my first foray into Figuarts had been that bootleg Ukog, I would've avoided Japanese imports like the plague...
I can live with this line-up as a "Complete display" Heck! I could take Chibi Usa out of the equation and still have a "Complete display".

It Came From the Toy Chest: Proto Sailor Moon but not Sailor Moon
Of course I am talking about Sailor V's True Form as Sailor Venus... Must resist Urge from buying Sailor V...
Articulation:
The Articulation on ALL 5 Senshi is mostly the same. I point this out now since this part may be copied and pasted on each of the Senshi Reviews, but each Senshi has some Articulation that is Specifically made for Each. The range Of Articulation, particularly on the arms is astounding. Even though the Senshi have skirts, they have slits and the skirt overlaps the front and back to hide the slits. (I assume this was what the 4 Horsemen were trying to emulate for MOTUC, but Mattel design, in their ass backwards ways didn't understand)
She can easily pull off most of the key poses from the Anime. (Since this one is based on the Anime.) As with all Figuarts figures, some poses require the use of a stand... (Especially with the tiny feet on heels that the Senshi have)
Now specifically for Sailor Venus, her hair has sections with a ball joint that allows you to have it a bit more flared out as if it was partially wind blown. Kinda like Sailor Mars.
5.0
Paint and Sculpt:

Accessories:
3 Extra Faceplates
1 Extra Hairpiece with Sailor V Glasses
1 Extra hand with Sailor V Glasses attached
8 Extra Hands
Stand
Artemis
I'm a bit sad that the Venus Love Me Chain isn't among the accessories. I mean, this isn't a generic effect like Fire, or Lightning that I could use. Other than that, she HAS TONS OF STUFF!!
5.0
Overall:
Venus gets a 5.0 as her final score and it's a bit difficult to see why she deserves less than that.

It Came From the Toy Chest: Sailor Lightning Tomboy
Who is actually NOT a Lesbian... Those come later in the series... Not yet out of the Toy Chest because I don't want to buy the Outer Senshi... Saturn and Pluto are a bit expensive...So, Sailor Jupiter... She's the fourth Senshi to be awakened (Moon, Mercury, Mars, Jupiter, Venus) She's the tough one (due to her tragic past with her parents dying on an airplane crash)
Articulation:

(Especially with the tiny feet on heels that the Senshi have)Now specifically for Sailor Jupiter, her Ponytail articulated. It's on a ball joint that allows for some dynamic posing, but not as dynamic as you'd think.
5.0
Paint and Sculpt:
What can I say here that I haven't said on past Senshi? The paint
is applied nicely and there are no obvious signs of slop or paint bleed on her. The use of Metallics on her skirt makes it look like Satin (not Satan). The sculpt is similar to the other senshi, but with some parts made specifically for Jupiter .5.0
Accessories:
-Stand
-10 extra hands
-3 Extra Faceplates
-Extra hairpiece with the Jupiter Thunder Antenna
5.0
Overall:
Jupiter gets a 5.0 as her final score. The only complaint I have is the lack of thunder effects, but Bandai has Generic Thunder effects that you can buy...
If I were to mention another gripe is that they can be a tad annoying needing the stands for some stuff.

It Came From the Toy Chest: Sailor Flaming Rival Priestess...
I think I kinda gave away that it's Sailor Mars, due to being in the Sailor Moon Figuarts Week and the whole Fire thing...Sailor Mars is one of the Inner Senshi, she's the third Senshi to be awakened by Luna... (or 4th depending if we count Sailor V as a Senshi BEFORE becomimg Venus)
Sailor Mars is also a shrine maiden, hence some of her attacks stemming from her role as a miko. (The purification seal she comes with is an example)

5.0
Paint and Sculpt:
It feels a bit repetitive talking about the Senshi since the Sculpt is mostly similar. It works, since it pulls off the Sailor Mars Look just right. I'd say closer to the anime looks since the true Manga style would be slightly more detailed. The paint applications are done nicely, which is the standard for most Figuarts stuff. Rarely there's some sloppy paints on these figures... (It happens, but it's not as common as in some Western Companies... Not mentioning any names, but The Big 2 are known for major cases of derp eye.)5.0
Accessories:
-10 Extra hands-1 Extra Mars Fire Attack gun fingers hand
-Stand
-3 Extra faceplates
-Ofuda Seal
5.0
Overall:
Surprise, Surprise... Mars gets a 5.0 as her final score.
I know some people might think that I have some favoritism towards Japan, but no... The figures are great... Yeah, they are a bit more fragile compared to most American Toys, but the sheer amount of Extras that expand the display possibilities make these feel much better than American toys. as always my main complaint is that I WANT MORE!! Like fire effects for Mars, but Bandai has me covered for those...

It Came from the Toy Chest: Sailor... Wait...
This Sailor isn't a Sailor, has a penis and it's the Guardian of Earth...Yes, it's Tuxedo Mask... or if you prefer Takishido Kamen-Sama... OK Tuxedo Mask in a Nutshell...
Picture Sailor Moon in trouble with a Monster having the advantage. A Rose being flung interrupts the battle. The Monster reacts, the music plays. Tuxedo Mask does a little speech, if we're lucky, he attacks the monster. Sailor Moon has an orgasm. He then leaves...
The Harder part begins now... Reviewing Tuxedo Mask...
Articulation:
This is my first caped Figuarts figure. I was aware of the Articulated cape, which is kinda cool. My issue is that it's hard plastic and, while it seems to be lighter than, say a MOTUC's cape, the figure itself is so light that the cape plays with his center of gravity, not to mention limiting a lot of his articulation.He has the standard Figuarts Articulation points, but for some reason he feels very stiff, like say compared to Michael Jackson. Normally, this would cause him to lose points, he still manages to pull off all the Key Tuxedo Mask Poses. (and my brother showed me that he could do the Spidey hanging pose. (Random Fact: Rino Romano, Spider-Man Unlimited and the Neversoft Spider-Man voiced Tuxedo Mask in the Earlier DIC dubbed Episodes. Rino Romano is also known as Luis Sera from RE4)
I WAS going to give him a 4.0 in Articulation but due to the new info about him being able to pull off the Spidey pose, Takishido Kamen-Sama gets a 5.0
Paint and Sculpt:Again, this is something where Figuarts excels at. You look at the figure and you can easily recognize the character and he looks like a 3D Representation of Tuxedo Mask. Due to the 2 Toned Cape and the Engineering, the cape CAN look a tad odd in some angles. He has no paint issues. Well, one issue some may have is with the metal drums holding the cape. Wish they were red instead of chrome.
5.0
Accessories:-stand
-articulated cape
-peg to cover the cape back hole
-locket
-rose
-cane
-3 extra faceplate-Extra head (for the hatless pics)
-10 Extra hands
He's got tons of stuff, so he easily gets a 5.0 here.
Overall:
He's a bit awkward at first, but once you get used to him he gets better and better. One thing that kept throwing me off is his height... I get that he's taller than Sailor Moon, or Ranma, but he's taller than Michael Jackson... He almost looks like a Teen in MOTUC. These Sailor Moon figures are filling the MOTUC Vacuum and making me forget UKOG...

It Came from the Toy Chest: Sailor Nerd Edition
As you may have guessed: I am talking about Sailor Mercury. (Random Fact: The Latin American Dub Sailor Mercury has the same VA as Akane Tendo from Ranma... which confuses my brain almost as bad as hearing Son Goku giving life lessons to Miley Cyrus)How to describe her? I already called her the nerd, since she carries a computer to battle, her Finishers are not Finishers, but stalling moves for other Senshi to use their Finishers on the monsters.
She also has blue hair and out of all the Senshi, she's my favorite... (and another random fact: She is the Most Popular Sailor Senshi in Japan, although when Chibi Moon was introduced, she finally got a strong competitor... Japan loves their lolis)

The Sculpt manages to capture Sailor Mercury's Anime Look quite Perfectly. The paintjob is great on my figure with no signs of slop or anything damning, like derp eyes.

It Came from the Lunar Toy Chest: In the name of the Moon I will Punish you!
Sailor Moon Week starts now at the House of Rants: I made a reference Waay back in April and I needed something to wash off the taste of Ukog... and since I got the Inner Senshi, I should review them... AFAIK, I won't be getting the "Cousin" Scouts, Pluto and Saturn since they are expensive as hell... OK Mostly Saturn, I draw the line at Albino Midget Sailor Moon Clone. But the rest I won't get... Now if they made a Nephrite, I'd have to get him... (but Full Nephrite, not Tuxedo Mask Disguise Nephrite) Back to topic...Sailor Moon... Who is she? Roll the intro!
Now, In the name of the Moon I will Review you!
Sorry, had to do it!
Random fact: The Latin American Dub of Sailor Moon has Sailor Moon played by the same VA that dubs Lisa Simpson... (This makes me way confused when watching the LatAm dub...)Articulation:

5.0
Paint and Sculpt:
LOOK AT HER... She looks a LOT like her Anime Counterpart in 3D. The Paint on Sailor Moon is nearly flawless. Just noticed a slight bleed of silver from the barrette on her right bun. While she looks a lot like her anime self, her color palette is more Manga inspired with the shimmery colors. (There's an Anime Repaint of this figure with more flat Anime Colors)
5.0
Accessories:
-Stand-2 Moon Sticks (with and without the Silver Crystal)
-Luna
-3 extra Faceplates (only the first release has 5 extra faceplates. Crying and winking, btw)
-8 Extra hands (one has the Moon Tiara Magic attached)
5.0
Overall:
Yes, she has a 5.0 despite the missing faceplates from the first release. She has a TON of stuff which still allows for a very good representation of the character. She looks nice on her own, but when put together with the Senshi, the squad is impressive!!

Odds and ends April 11, 2014
Megan Fox... I'm not a fan of her. Let's leave it at that. As much as I dislike her, she seems to be a fan of Sailor Moon. She seems interested in doing a Live Action Sailor Moon. Personally, I think this is a HORRIBLE IDEA. Not because I don't like her as an actor, but because she's too old to play a 14 year old girl.
I'm going to give a shout out to the folks from Nerds on a Couch since they got little old me to do a rant there. Obviously, the topic is Ponies... I kid, I kid! It's He-Man, which shouldn't come as a surprise. IT IS closely tied to the recent news about the movie and reflecting on them a little bit more than my shooting from the hip rant that I posted Earlier.
Finally, a Girl Meets World Teaser...
This Teaser is not enough to gauge if it'll be in the same spirit as Boy Meets World, or if it'll end up as another Shake it Up, ANT Farm or Jessie... Did Ben Savage get a Nosejob? He looks somewhat off.

Halloween's coming! Get your costumes ready!
I love Halloween! dressing up, getting candy, It's like going to a sci-fi convention, but with douchebags, little kids and no scalpers.
so that allows me to show off some cosplay pics... I mean these guys spend a lot of time and money to create costumes based on their favorite characters...
Casey Jones from TMNT a rather easy costume to make, but the result is cool!
Rose and Akuma from Street Fighter
We can't do a Street Fighter without Ryu
Now moving on to FFVII No Sephiroth, just Cloud... Now I'm not sure if that's a guy or a girl...
Speaking of Sephiroth... Hot Damn! I always expected the shirtless I just stole this coat form Hot Topic Sephiroth, but this is freaking AWESOME!
My favorite Kabob Girl...
looks cool when a bunch of FFVII people get together for these...
Skeletor... Overlord of Evil BTW this is a Puertorrican Skeletor... So there ARE cosplayers in Puerto Rico that don't dress up as Naruto characters...
Now this one is Jaw Dropping... Get it, Jaw Dropping, cause it's Trap Jaw... Nevermind...
Wouldn't be surprised if these keep happening... I hope the guy got some afterwards... Oh wait! Meyerpires don't get laid...
I must add that this one is awesome... RETREAT!! RETREAT!! Yes it's Cobra Commander.
Mmmmm! X-men! and Mr. Pointy claws.
A Surveillance Camera!?Solid Snake and Big Boss
Now THESE guys combined Sailor Moon AND Zombies... Words can't describe this.
Annoying retarded ninja... Believe it!!
Something Something Mitochondria, Something Something Parasite EVE
Citan Uzuki from Xenogears *grumble grumble* disc 2 should've had more playable content

You call that a Secret Identity?
Secret Identities are meant to protect one aspect of a Person's life. Usually Superheroes are the ones that have them. Some of these are REALLY stupid.
Now the Worst Offenders:
Adam of the House of Randor
Yes I am talking about that Adam. Prince of Eternia, Defender of the Secrets of Castle Grayskull.

All he does is take off his clothes and get a tan... A Magic Lightning induced tan... That's how he becomes HE-MAN, THE ONLY MAN WITH A GREEN TIGER IN ETERNIA... aside from Prince Adam of course... There is no real point for Adam to keep his ID secret. Skeletor was already bent on destroying Adam's family long before he became He-Man.
But he's not the only offender in the House of Randor...

Adora, Adam's long lost twin sister is an even bigger offender than Adam... The Princess of Power Herself... She-Ra is no one other than the Former Force Captain of the Evil Horde, Adora.
Usagi Tsukino

Miley Stewart

Miley, Miley, Miley... You fooled me once until I figured out that Hannah Montana was a Disnified verion of...

Jem! Now that was Truly Truly Outrageous. I still can't believe that I was fooled by the Hannah wig... Now that I know the secret I feel so stupid... Also she's the only one who is not a Hero... Jem had an orphanage... He-Man, She-Ra and Sailor Moon save their worlds on an almost daily basis... What makes Hannah/Miley a hero?
Nope... Nothing comes to mind... Except that Miley Cyrus thinks that Twilight is evil., but then again a lot of people already think that. I'm talking about the character, not the actress so that doesn't count...
Speaking of Stupid here's El Queso Grande, The Big Boss, Il Numero Uno!!
You guessed it, The Number one spot on Stupid Secret Identities is...
SUPERMAN!!! I mean GLASSES!? That's THE most stupid disguise ever... A wig, a magic tan, Anything is better than GLASSES!!
Well that's enough for my stupid disguises rant...
*Gasp!* Tuxedo Kamen-sama!!
Get out of here!!! Yes, Tuxedo Kamen... He's ripping off Superman's lame disguise! But at least he'll have something to wear for the Prom...
There you go the Top 5 Stupid Secret Identities ever...
Now the Worst Offenders:
Adam of the House of Randor

But he's not the only offender in the House of Randor...

Adora, Adam's long lost twin sister is an even bigger offender than Adam... The Princess of Power Herself... She-Ra is no one other than the Former Force Captain of the Evil Horde, Adora.
A Tiara and more cleavage shown... She's also wearing a mini skirt... Which is kinda pointless since Adora showed more leg... But the Evil Horde is mostly male, so the more cleavage helps covering the secret... Why didn't she get a tan like He-Man's?
Usagi Tsukino

Another case of Tiara and mini skirt is enough to distract people from noticing the secret. This also applies to the rest of the Sailor Senshi, but I'm not gonna go into a fully detailed rant about each of them. Long story short: Usagi Tsukino is Sailor Moon. As in the Magical Girl who kills the evil monsters with the Power of Love... (After the Other Senshi have weakened them... Or the occasional Intervention of Tuxedo Kamen.) I mean how many Blonde Japanese girls use that silly hairstyle?
Miley Stewart

Anime
Anime. The cartoons from Japan. Ususally harder to translate into live action films, yet Hollywood wants to do it. Not even the Japanese themselves can bring decent anime to live action. But they've done it a lot better than Hollywood, why? No executive Douchebaggery and desire to leave their own stamp on the project. No cultural differences wall affecting the production. etc. So far the only Amaricanized Anime live action movie that worked is Speed Racer.
Now, that I got that out of my chest I'm gonna do another of my lists.This time they'll be of Anime that SHOULD be adapted to Live Action Hollywood Movies and Anime that SHOULDN'T BE TOUCHED BY HOLLYWOOD EVER!! (Especially Fox)
First on my list of Anime that should be made into a movie:
Full Metal Panic! (The exclamation point is part of the title)
It's about a Secret Military Organization that sent one of their members to protect a girl with mysterious abilities. The only problem is that she's a highschool student and the Bodyguard is a teen who was raised as a soldier and only has lived in the battlefield. There are giant Mechas somewhere in the story too.
This yells adapt me! Romantic Comedy Elements, Cool action scenes, Fish out of water situations... I'm pretty sure that Hollywood would go for Zac Efron to play Sagara Sousuke, and I actually wouldn't mind right now. A few months back I would've screamed ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR #$%^& MIND!?
Fullmetal Alchemist
This one also say Adapt me!! The Elric Brothers lived a happy life with their mother until she died. They attempt to revive their mother by using Alchemy, but something went wrong...
The younger brother, Alphonse, lost his body and Edward, the elder, lost an arm and a leg. (one in the attempt of reviving his mother, the other while binding his brother's soul to an armored suit. Now Edwars, outfitted with some advanced prosthetics and Alphonse (the sentient Armor) travel the world in search of the Philosopher's Stone. A stone that allows the user to practice Alchemy without the side effects of Equivalent Exchange. (In order to get something you must give something with the same value)
Hellsing
Long story short. Britan's Protestant Church have a special unit dealing with the supernatural, led by a descendant of Abraham Van Helsing (as in the rival of Dracula). Her Paramilitary Organization fights the undead with heavy firepower and a secret weapon. Alucard... a vampire. I mean THE vampire. Alucard is so awesome that makes Blade look like a sissy.
Neon Genesis Evangelion.
This one screams Make me!! (Even thoguh Hollywood has a 99% of chance of dropping the ball here.) Psychologicaly damaged teens pilotig big "Mechas" (Trying to avoid spoilers) and defending the Earth from the otherworldy beings called "Angels". Yes there is a boatload of Christian symbols used here. (That's what Japan does when they want to do something cool. They add lots of elements from Western Religion even when they don't have anything to do with the story.)
Now The following Scream STAY AWAY HOLLYWOOD!!
Ranma 1/2: The story of a boy who gets cursed by becoming female when doused with cold water and returns to normal with warm water. Tons of fighting and romantic comedy elements, yet it's charm would be lost because he's a boy that turns into a girl when doused with cold water.
Yu-Gi-Oh! (and any other anime that involves the fate of humanity being decided by plaing a Children's card game.) Why? The fate of humanity being decided by a Children's card game... I love Yu-gi-oh! But I wouldn' go see alive action movie (unless they gave away free cards. The only reason why I saw the animated movie at the theatres.)
The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya.
Ahh! Haruhi... You are one seriously messed up girl. You might not know this but Haruhi has the powers of a god and she doesn't know it. She is surrounded by an alien, a time traveler, an Esper (A mystic power ranger type of character that works for a secret organiztion.) Funny fact the english dub of Kouzumi the Esper is a Power Ranger, not Tommy... (one of the other guys who was on Tommy's team.) and last but not least Kyon. The normal guy who gets sucked into this mess because he shares a connection with Haruhi. Also they's try to have a teen star playing Haruhi and possibly have Haruhi-inspired songs... (As much as I might like Miley Cyrus' acting and singing I do NOT want her to be a part of a Haruhi project!!)
Naruto:
First of all they would make these kids 18+ and defeat the whole kid ninjas beating the crap out of everything. There's also the bad aftertaste of the 3 Ninjas movies and Surf Ninjas (The only movie ever to promote the battery juice devouring Game Gear and to have Leslie Nielsen as a cyborg villain.) Believe it!
Last but not least...
An americanized live action will suck. That is all.
Funny thing is that I love all of these except Naruto. I didn't add Gatchaman, Voltron or Macross to these lists because I mentioned them on another topic.
Now, that I got that out of my chest I'm gonna do another of my lists.This time they'll be of Anime that SHOULD be adapted to Live Action Hollywood Movies and Anime that SHOULDN'T BE TOUCHED BY HOLLYWOOD EVER!! (Especially Fox)
First on my list of Anime that should be made into a movie:
Full Metal Panic! (The exclamation point is part of the title)
It's about a Secret Military Organization that sent one of their members to protect a girl with mysterious abilities. The only problem is that she's a highschool student and the Bodyguard is a teen who was raised as a soldier and only has lived in the battlefield. There are giant Mechas somewhere in the story too.
This yells adapt me! Romantic Comedy Elements, Cool action scenes, Fish out of water situations... I'm pretty sure that Hollywood would go for Zac Efron to play Sagara Sousuke, and I actually wouldn't mind right now. A few months back I would've screamed ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR #$%^& MIND!?
Fullmetal Alchemist
This one also say Adapt me!! The Elric Brothers lived a happy life with their mother until she died. They attempt to revive their mother by using Alchemy, but something went wrong...
The younger brother, Alphonse, lost his body and Edward, the elder, lost an arm and a leg. (one in the attempt of reviving his mother, the other while binding his brother's soul to an armored suit. Now Edwars, outfitted with some advanced prosthetics and Alphonse (the sentient Armor) travel the world in search of the Philosopher's Stone.
