Metal Gear fans rejoice! Our dream of owning a fantastic representation of the Metal Gear Rex figure is finally going to come true! 3A Toys will be releasing this exceptionally well done (at least from the looks of these preliminary shots) Metal Gear Rex figure sometime next year. Rex here is rumored to be around 15″-17″ and will be constructed of PVC, resin, and ABS plastic (much more cost effective materials compared to its full-scale in-game counterpart  ). As with all 3A figures, it’s probably not going to come cheap though. I’ll be waiting anxiously for the final pricing. Here’s hoping I’ll be able to go for it when the time comes.

This custom-made 1/6 Aliens Stasis Tube would make the perfect diorama accessory for those Hot Toys Aliens & Colonial Marines. It is built by Frank Cerney of FM Model Co. Head over to the company’s page here for more info & graphic goodness. Good news is the Statis Tube is available for sale for $60 and comes in kit form.
They’ve also produced a few other equally fine kits such as the Viper Mk II from Battlestar Galactica and the upcoming B-Wing from Star Wars. Their kits aren’t exactly cheap, but apparently they’re pretty well known for their quality among kit builders.

This is the moment most Browncoats have been waiting for. I’ve recently just received an E-mail from Quantum Mechanix (QMx) notifying us on the soon-to-be-announced pricing and pre-ordering of The Big Damn Replica from Serenity. So those of you who aren’t in their mailing list should sign up here if you’d like first priority in snatching yourself The Big Damn Replica when it gets announced soon.
Fans will also be glad to hear that QMx upped the edition size to 1,000 from the original 500 to cater for the huge fan response. They’ve also ditched the normal (non-lit) edition in favor of producing just the SFX edition with all the lights and bling. Hopefully I’ll be able to snag myself one if the price ain’t too crazy. Any guesses how much this sweet lil baby’s gonna cost?

Diamond Select will be releasing an Ultimate Quarter Scale Henry Jones Action Figure beginning 2010. The Ultimate Quarter Scale Henry Jones figure will feature an amazing likeness of Sean Connery and stands at approximately 19″. It will also come with multiple sound effects, accessories as well as individually-layered costume elements and a full display stand.
IMHO the facesculpt looks a little off to me, but otherwise everything else looks pretty decent.
Available for Pre-Order At: BigBadToyStore.com

This gorgeous resin kit of Xenosaga III’s KOS-MOS from Volks is a Chara Hobby 2009 & Hobby Round 2 event exclusive kit, and can only be ordered through these 2 events. A shame really, as this kit is absolutely jaw-droppingly impressive. KOS-MOS will be a huge kit as well, at 46cm since it’s in 1/4-Scale. The price? A wallet-busting 50,400 YEN ($500)! Nevertheless it’s easily one of the most impressive 3D representations of KOS-MOS from Namco’s famed Xenosaga games on the Playstation 2.

Here’s a Yoko Littner figure that will cost a pretty penny. That’s because it’s a resin kit (Not PVC Figure) which will be produced in extremely limited numbers and is a Volks retail & online shop exclusive. Kit will retail for 10,500 YEN ($100) but will be quite impossible to obtain if you don’t live in Japan.

This badass “Raging Demon” Akuma Resin Statue from Sota Toys has a pretty unique interpretation of Akuma. He seems to have very pronounced facial features, almost “evil” like. And I think it fits the entire “Raging Demon” Akuma theme nicely. Top it off with a nicely defined and exaggerated musculature and we have a winner here. This Akuma statue is slated for a September 2009 release and will have a RRP of $120.

Continuing from the previous post of spotting Predators in odd situations, here’s a pretty good one as well. It’s a picture of an Alien and Predator having a go at each other again, except this time they’re relying a little bit more on brains than brawn. A surprise really, I never took these two as the intellectual type.
For a slightly more believable (and exciting) battle between these two fearsome creatures, check out Sideshow’s Aliens VS Predator: Requiem Diorama below:
