Kaiju No. 8 figures up for preorder

Mina Ashiro (three faces), Leno Ichikawa, and Kaiju No. 8 S.H. Figuarts up for preorder.

There are a few issues of the comic free online--Ashiro sometimes rides a giant tiger?

There's an anime about a non-magical himbo who dominates a Hogwarts-like school for magic with his incredible level of athleticism

This new preorder listing for a Harry Potter-esque S.H.Figuarts figure caught my eye enough to click through, and I was delighted to see the accessories included:

Cream puffs

2 Dumbbells

Iron wand    

I've now learned he's Mash Burnedead from the manga/anime Mashle. From the wiki:

He was abandoned when he was a child due to lacking a mark, meaning that he is unable to use magic. Regro Burnedead found him and raised him outside the big city, hiding Mash from society and teaching him self-defense. They lived a peaceful life together, until one day, when Mash goes to the city and a policeman discovers him. After that event, Brad Coleman notices that Mash doesn't have a mark and goes to Mash's house to find him. Once there, Brad hurts Regro and after an "intense" fight with Mash, they accord that Mash will go to the magic school in order to maintain their peaceful life. 

...

Muscles Magic (マスクルズ 魔法, Masukuruzu Mahō): Mash was born without a mark, so he cannot cast spells, instead, he uses muscle-based techniques to compensate for his lack of magic power

...

Iron Wand: Mash's "wand" is an extremely heavy rod. According to a wand shop owner, not in a thousand years has anyone with strength or Magic, been able to lift it. Mash is able to forcibly change the shape of his wand with his incredible strength. The wand is sturdy enough to withstand Mash's inhuman strength 

There's a full episode at Youtube that moves at a delightfully brisk pace, and answers the question, "How would a super jock deal with Quidditch, magical duels, and supernatural creatures?" Pretty much every moment is deserving of a screencap:

Various Mashle toys are available for preorder at the BBTS.

"If the people don't have bread, let them pump iron!"

The queen's proclamation echoed across the Place de la Révolution. Chased from her palace and sent to the executioner's block, Marie Antoinette exploded in anger at the people who were basking in the euphoria of the Revolution. The people she loved were no more.

The muscular queen (of France) Marie destroyed the executioner's block and confronted the revolutionary horde, wielding the guillotine she had taken from them!

"I am France. The one and only France."

The stunning pink Naftlije/Gomishan mud volcano in NE Iran.

It turned this gorgeous pink colour a few years ago due to a bloom of some beta carotene producing mini-beastie - like algae (eg Dunaliella salina) or archaea (eg Halobacterium cutirubrum). https://t.co/vGNvC4aYaB

Imagine making your kids do these drills every day - teaching them to slide down chutes, drive racecars up stairwells, pilot a rocket that turns into three dinosaurs that turns into a robot - instead of simply enacting common-sense gun legislation.
