ML Thanos BAF: Batroc the Leaper


The first review of the Thanos BAF and it's none other than Batroc the Leaper! This less than C-List villain was never in my radar until the figure came to be and the story arc of Wolverine: Killable! Heck, Batroc came into my radar even more when we see a version of him in Winter Soldier! So here's his figure; what to say?


Right off the get go, we resume the same Hasbro packaging with a much more aesthetically pleasing artwork on the side. Here we have Batroc doing some of his popular leaping kicks in black and white art form!


This mold should be familiar more so now than ever with how much Hasbro has used it. I'll keep stating it until my opinion changes: I don't mind though if they did a few certain things to hide the fact that it is overly recycled, that would be great. Like for example: cover the shield hole on the back, give some alternate hands, or sculpt a few more things to make the figure 'special'. Though the head is a new sculpt I believe and it's really one of the things that makes him stick out!


I mean, look at that pompous grin! That mustache!


Batroc doesn't come with any accessories or alternate hands or anything. Just Thanos' upper body and shoulder pads. Shame. I can't really count a BAF as an accessory, sorry Hasbro, but you failed in this department.


Articulation is of no surprise to anyone I hope with this mold being a familiar one. Batroc in the comic book is a french savate fighter, so his moves includes high flying kicks and such. He is often seen fighting Captain America and his kicks often led to nothing with Cap just blocking it with his shield! So with that said, the bucky Cap mold does the job and it provides Batroc the proper movement that he needs. I had a mild problem with his waist the first time I opened it though. It was stuck and I had to use a box cutter just to give him the proper movement; with that all good I think he is back to the way he should be.

Spider-Girl, Ms. Marvel, Gamora, Black Widow
And with a grin like that and that mustache, one can really fit him in with a dastard villain posture. And what is a classic villain without his damsels in distress, right?


All in all, I think this figure was another under dog. While I'm not overly impressed, I am taken aback with how fun this figure is. Batroc, being a C-List villain became a familiar one for me and I had tons of fun reading some things about him and posing him to coincide with his comic book self. All in all, while he is a must because he hold Thanos' bigger BAF, he also is just a great addition to one's rogue of villains in their Marvel Legends set.

Damsel of the Month:






Name: Elsa of Arendelle

Series/Movie: Frozen/ Frozen Fever

Some Words: I highly doubt Queen Else of Arendelle needs any proper introductions. Frozen is a freaking juggernaut and Disney is doing everything that they can to capitalize on this phenomenon. Elsa, being the deuteragonist did nothing to melt her crown for being one of the most popular Disney character ever! For me, Elsa is actually the most interesting character in that movie(which I don't think is worth all that hype despite me loving the movie; oh and I like Hans). So with that said, I happen to love this girl for both looks, voice, and... bondageability. So...How long did it take for Elsa to get into this?! I mean, with Frozen being out for more than a year, you would think I would've put her into this place some time ago, right?! Well, to my defense, I've been waiting until she accumulated enough pics on DA to actually conjure up this particular spot. Why March? Well, Frozen Fever just came out so it's only right that she gets this month anyways.

What is there to say about Elsa? Honestly, there is a ton of things to say about her from my perspective! She is a freaking hottie who has ice powers. Deemed the 'Snow Queen' in homage of the tale that her powers came from; though Elsa is actually not as sinister as her original 'self'.

For those who was not away, Elsa was supposed to be the villainess and her story with Anna was supposed to be quite different than how it turned out.  The picture on the left is how she was supposed to look like(hairstyle wise; her outfit was a bit more elaborate and mirrors her popular and current Snow Queen attire). Though for the sake of giving her a bit more of a 'complex' layer, they simply made her a troubled person fighting the urge to let go of her inhibitions.

Can't find the original artist!
So who we ended up getting was the Elsa that we have and I do have to say she is enamoring. She had two different clothing as an adult: her Coronation outfit and her Snow Queen dress. Her hair is also one two different ways with her coronation more 'conservative' and her 'Snow Queen' trademark look has all the 'anti gravity'/'anime' look to it. Both of them do her justice but let's just say I'm more for the Snow Queen hair but with the Coronation dress to go with it. The dark combination of teal, burgundy, and black has some enticing look to it. Though of course put her in some bondage and it's a whole heck of a lot better, isn't it regardless of what attire(or lack of).

Still, people just can't seem to get enough of her Snow Queen outfit so there are more than enough pictures of her in that magical thread in Distress!

Kachima, of course. Another commission by me.
BitterSweetPrince; Buy the whole pack! Worth it! This one is just icing xD
Of course we have to see Elsa in DiD outside her well known attires she wore in Frozen. We've seen a couple of lingeries already! Let's add some more!

Oh and why is the pic above Black and White?! There's a colored version. I'll update it when it's time to let it go. And yes, I commissioned the art above too!

Now it's pretty easy to see that Hans might be responsible for some of her duress, but there is a lot of shipping out there of Anna and Elsa, or better known to the shipping term as: Elsanna. Let's take a gander at some of these, shall we?

Can someone link me?
Nice little infomercial by Darthblade

Starca (awesome stuff as well)
And if Anna doesn't have the upper hand in their sisterly love, she's either being dominated by Elsa(won't show pics of that for obvious reasons) or she's in Distress with Elsa!

So all in all, what a wonderful catch this month has brought, huh? It's barely pass a year and we have accumulated so many Elsa pics in this realm! It just goes to show just how much she is loved by all kinds of perverts(there are a little bit more pics, but I put the ones here I truly adored). I'm not done commissioning her either so there might be a couple more bondage pics here and there, who knows? And we haven't even seen her in her Frozen Fever attire just yet! That would be a sensual piece of art! So with that said, I thoroughly enjoyed this month's damsel! Elsa remains to be one of my favorite gals to write about and look at! She may be part of one of the most overly hyped/marketed movie as of late, but Elsa is just hott. So nope, sorry Elsa, can't let you go just yet!

And look at that! Someone made a chibi of three popular damsels! The likes of Wonder Woman and Daphne aside by side with Elsa?

Found this on tumblr; original artist, I'd like to link ya! Nice art of "Elsacest"
Found on Pinterest
I tried looking for the artist! Link me!
And the next few additions are of course from Kachima himself!

I found this gif online somewhere; link?
It's going to be a LONG time until we can Let Elsa Go from her newly mended spot. Whether she is loved because she is awesome or because she is just tantalizing in bondage, who knows? All I know is that we are just going to accumulate more pictures of her as we go through the years. Heh, I think Elsa can be "Damsel of the next few years", honestly.

BUT. Who's next for April? 

----EDIT----
Found a few Elsa pics in one hour that I think will be worth sharing.
