Onto the final push, this was posing post training 1 day after a refeed.

Still trying to squeeze out a tad more conditioning as my core feels a little behind but overall pleased with my shape.

Truly the last update until I get on stage in Men’s Physique at the OCB Minnesota Viking.

Final plan is listed below and planning on tapering fatigue a bit during peak week and will backload carbs 1-2 days prior.

1400 cals / 30 mins Stationary Bike (MISS) / 10k steps

Finally got a legit figure and I now understand the hype. Got lucky with QC and mine came with no posing issues or overly tight / loose joints. Almost had him replace my main Wolverine (Gamerverse) but put him in my other display.

Had all of these in their boxes for quite a bit but decided to crack them open and finally set the zord up as I just found season 2’s in the wild.

Really enjoyed putting them together but just wish there was more articulation but it’s a hulking zord so I couldn’t expect too much lol. I also included how large it was next to some of my ML figures

Out of the 4 I own, this is now my absolute favorite. A blast to pose and very balanced when it comes to holding his own weight. Plus the details are just perfect.

So far this is my ranking of the ones I own.

1. Akuma
2. Cammy
3. Ryu
4. Chun li

Just got him and man. I really like him. I know, I know, rubber rotted chest and the price but I had so much fun posing him and his presence is fantastic on my shelf.

First Blokees figure and I’m super impressed with the quality, price and articulation. I can see why people love Blokees. Really wish the other Rivals figures were scaled well with ML but Jeff the shark looks great with ML Punisher.

Fantastic figure!

Just a beast. Wish his skirt didn’t limit his lower articulation as much as it does but overall captures Broly well.

Officially 3 weeks out and might be my last update before cutting out the noise and pushing for those final levels of conditioning.

Initially was going to do Classic Physique but someone brought up that my physique would fit well in Men’s Physique due to my overpowering upper compared to my lower.

I sat with that for a bit and I’ve had experience coaching clients in that division successfully and also competed in that division for my first show years ago.

After my pro card lapsing in Classic, I thought why not try Men’s Physique as my strengths do favor that division more.

I’ve officially signed up for the same show, the OCB Minnesota Viking on 29 August.

Current plan is,

Macros - 1410 calories / 50f - 165p - 75c
Cardio - 30 mins (MISS “Stationary Bike”)
Steps - 10k Daily
+ 1 refeed weekly

Rate of loss has been roughly 1.5-2 lbs per week and will continue to push for that as strength is still holding and psychologically, this is the best I’ve felt, especially with such low calories and high output.

Photos are from today, post training during posing.

First Jada Toy and I’m absolutely impressed by the articulation and balance of this Cammy. Aside from the odd default face sculpt, she’s a great addition to the MVC collection.

Was bamboozled and received a Knockoff CT toys Wolverine. Had a ton of QC issues including bad paint, mismatched joints, mismatched head socket, extremely tight joints and poor articulation in the lower.

Tried to refund but was offered a partial and I took it. Overall not horrible for a $14 figure post partial refund.

Received him this past week. Absolutely aura.

Overall no issues with the figure aside from one loose joint on the second part of a tendril but overall very pleased with the figure.

They knocked it out of the park with these two. First two figures. Any other recommendations that have as great of articulation and aura?

Have Full Powered Super Broly on the way to display with these two.

Just wanted to document mine and see if any others had issues. First he came out super super tight so had to give him a warm bath but joints are still a little bit tighter than I’d like.

Secondly, his default head sculpt he came with looked horrible paint wise and I used the other sculpt as a comparison which I thought looked fine.

Finally, when posing, I realized the joint stuck out on his left arm and k think the peg that inserts either is too long or the insertion point is too shallow. Tried jamming multiple times on top of warming as well. Let m know if you guys had any issues but I understand it comes with buying KOs. The Mess toys venom and CT Agent Venom I got were almost flawless though.

Wow absolutely blown away by this figure. Only my second SHF figure aside from “Dangerous Pride”Vegeta which pairs perfect together.

My only letdown is that the windswept hair has a QC issue where Goku’s face does not fit. Aside from that to me it’s perfect.

Venom finally came in and overall pleased with the figure.

Articulation and QC wise my right shoulder is a tad loose but it hasn’t come off when posing but I’m fairly light handed when it comes to that. Neck does chafe often when trying to get the head up in certain positions but nothing horrible. Also my left knee did pop off when really pushing articulation but overall nothing too serious.

Really really like his presence, the added face sculpts of Eddie and the overall quality. Will definitely get the Black version if they decide to make one down the line.
