Here’s a sweet video demo of Hot Toys‘ new Parallel Eyeball Rolling System (PERS) which made its debut on their recently released MMS DX 01 The Dark Knight - Joker figure. After seeing the video and realising how appropriate it was to use such a system on the Joker (gives Joker’s expression an almost life-like appearance), I’m kind of regretting for not pre-ordering this wicked figure. Oh well, I’m pretty sure the figure’s still widely available for now so it’s all good.
Winson Classic Creation is about to add another cool figure to its line of Apexplorer figures. For this outing, these wicked primates will be all dressed up for space. There will be two variations of the figure, an Original Space Color Adam figure and a Space Special Adam figure which will be limited to 400 units.
The Original Space Color Adam figure will include the following:
- Space Clothing inclusive Space Gloves and Space Boots
- Space Helmet
- Space Helmet-mounted Scanner
- Space Power Engines
- Blaze Gun
- Gear Belt
- Power Controller
The Space Special Adam figure will include the following: - Space Clothing inclusive Space Gloves and Space Boots
- Space Helmet
- Space Helmet-mounted Scanner
- Space Power Engines
- Blaze Gun
- Gear Belt
- Power Controller
- Apes DNA Test Tube
Both figures are scheduled for a March 2010 release and will be distributed by Hot Toys. I agree that some 1/6 collectors do not like the idea of the unrealistic ape-faced figure on a “human” body, but personally I kinda like the space theme to these figures, especially the suit and the light-up helmet.
This shouldn’t come as any surprise since Hot Toys (or any other toy manufacturers for the matter) will milk every penny out of a franchise by releasing minor costume updates and variants. Well, at least this one comes with a battle-damaged endoskeleton featured base and a 1/6th scale fully articulated Hydrobot with light up function. So I guess it’s all good.
How many of you who purchased the original-release John Connor are intending to pick this version up as well? Or are some of you thinking that you should’ve waited for this instead? Me..I still prefer the original one, but the light up Hydrobot on this is making this kinda tempting…hrmm. Damn you HT!
ACI Toys has just released their line of 1/6 Military Sweater Series. They come in 3 different colors with both Round Neck & V Neck versions in fine knitted and woven fabric. These sweaters accurately represent military sweaters of most modern nation forces and will be an indispensable accessory for modern 12″ military customisers. They supposedly fit best on Hot Toys figures, but will also be suitable with other brands.
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!
This Mature resin kit will be Volks‘ second figure from the King of Fighters XII series to be offered during the Hobby Round 2 event which will be held at Ikebukuro, Tokyo on 20th September 2009. The Elizabeth Blanctorche kit will be the other exclusive King of Fighters XII figure to be offered during this event. The finished kit will be 22cm tall and will retail for 10,500 YEN ($100).
Another one of Volks‘ Hobby Round 2 event exclusive figure kit, this one is of Elizabeth Blanctorche from King of Fighters XII. The finished kit will be 22cm tall and will retail for 10,500 YEN ($100).
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.
Holy schmoley! These prototype pictures of the 1/6-Scale 19″ Iron-Monger and 12″ Obadiah Stane Figure from new-kid-on-the-block Bomber Toys are jaw-achingly beautiful! My God, just look at the size of the Monger. Best of all, it’s in kit form which means we get to paint it the way we like. And and and…it’s got blue LEDs on the eyes and chest as well! Boy I sound like a 5-year old kid in a candy store. Only downside? Well it’s as yet unlicensed, and apparently pending licensing approval from Marvel.
Those guys at Marvel better give this the green light otherwise I foresee lots of unbelievably pissed off Iron-Man fanboys, including yours truly. Or better yet, screw the license and just use a generic name for the kit & figure and sell it at a much lower price. Otherwise, I have a feeling a licensed piece of this scale would probably be equivalent to a second mortgage like the Medicom Ma.K Maschinen Krieger 1/6 Super Armored Fighting Suit S.A.F.S. Figure.
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.
