I have not made a purchase in a LONG while, but my recent freelance work had me needing a little treat. So, I took a small amount of money and invested in a figure for myself. Now I had a lot of figures in mind, so I needed to narrow it down.
I'm a MARVEL fan, so I gave thought to adding something from the MCU. I've wanted additional people of color in my collection...being a person of color myself...and I only have my FALCON figure and a kitbashed Nick Fury I'm working on at the moment. Black Panther would have been great, but it's now taken a large jump in price after Chadwicks passing. :( War Machine is great, but about the price point I set for myself. Captain America was also on the maybe list. Seeing as I already have a good amount of Marvel, I leaned toward something a little less costly.
I'm a horror fan. What about Horror figures?
Again, there were a few on the list.
KIER: First Sword of Death was a cool find from Sideshow's Court of the Dead
However, once I saw the MONTH DEITY OF WAR figure from TBLEAGUE, I knew I had a winner. Horror-like...person of color....and SUPER COOL! I'm really loving the figure!
I had an old display from back in the day that I purchased that works really well with the figure. TBLEAGUE was formerly PHICEN, so this is the seamless body with great metal joints. I hope the skin holds up over time.
All in all, I'm super happy with this purchase. And, as before BIG BAD TOYSTORE was a dream to work with. I'm going to add an explorer on his knees before her for the final effect! :)
