This is awesome news. Aldo Raine, the character played by Brad Pitt in Quentin Tarantino’s latest smash hit movie Inglourious Basterds will be an upcoming figure in Hot Toys’ Movie Masterpiece (MMS) line.

Inglourious Basterds has been chalking up rave reviews everywhere but I have yet to watch it myself.  Although I pretty much know I’m just gonna enjoy it as much as the rest of Quentin Tarantino’s previous masterpieces.  I can’t even decide which Tarantino film’s the best as I pretty much love most of them. Do you have a favorite?

Hot Toys seems to be getting everything right don’t they? I’ll be keeping my eye closely on this one as it develops. Nice!

Here’s Hot Toys’ take on one of the characters of Watchmen. The Silk Spectre II figure will be yet another addition in Hot Toys’ impressive line of Movie Masterpiece figures. I think the likeness of the face sculpt is pretty spot-on to Malin Akerman in her role as Silk Spectre II in the highly acclaimed Watchmen movie. Figure-hugging black costume, yellow romper with garters, black thigh-high boot tops, black gloves…what’s there not to like about this figure really? And I like how they’re using implanted hair, rather than the usual sculpted ones. It just adds another layer of realism to the figure, but some might consider that a bit too doll-like eh?

Also, if you’d like to watch the Watchmen film in full-HD glory do check out the Special Edition Blu-Ray Watchmen package at Amazon.com as well, it comes with a nifty light-up Night Owl case to store the Watchmen Blu-Ray discs.

To celebrate the 30th anniversary of the original Alien film, Sideshow Collectibles in partnership with Hot Toys will be releasing the 1:6-Scale Alien ‘Big Chap’ Poseable Model Kit under Hot Toys’ Movie Masterpiece label and will be based on the original designs of H. R. Giger.

The ‘Big Chap’ is about 14″ in height, roughly the same as Hot Toys’ Predator figures if I’m correct. It comes with a nicely weathered diorama base but not much accessories here, Aliens don’t use guns anyway. They pretty much do away with claws and green acid spit..and the occasional hide and seek.

Sideshow’s line of The Dead 12″ figures continue to expand with this latest offering. Subject 245: Punk comes with the following accessories:

•Thermal t-shirt
•Leather bracelets
•Vest with badges
•Detailed belt and buckle
•Jeans with suspenders
•Boots
•Concert flyer
•Switch out right hand holding guts (Exclusive version only)

The sculpt and paintwork looks pretty fine to me from the promo shots. I’ve always dreamt of putting together a Resident Evil diorama with zombies from Sideshow’s The Dead line. But considering the number of zombie figures I’d be needing, it’ll probably cost me an arm and a leg (sorry for the pun). Hurry over to Sideshow if you intend to secure yourself a punk. The previous zombie figures such as Subject 1025: The Babysitter - Spooktacular Edition, Subject 138: The Street Prophet, and Subject 2221: The Harbinger - Sideshow Exclusive Edition are still available from Sideshow if you’re interested in building your zombie army.
