The pictures are from the upcoming Ani-Com & Games convention which will be held in Hong Kong soon.</div><br /><span class="fullpost"><div align="justify">I'm really digging RoboCop and ED 209. I was a big RoboCop fan growing up and I missed Hot Toys' first run at the figure. I'm glad to say that I have a second chance at owning the guy. The other figures like Professor X in First Class, Andrew Garfield's Spiderman and Wolverine are easy passes for me. Was never a big fan of Wolverine and worst still Hugh Jackman's protrayal of him. Don't get my wrong, he was okay in the role. I just thought Fox was really milking on him being the star of all 3 movies that I lost all interest in him. But that's just me.<br /><br />Moving on to the next figure, Catwoman. This I'm a bit on the fence. It'll be a nice addition to my TDK collection. It's not like Black Widow where I kinda need her to complete my Avengers set. But we'll just have to wait and see. If wallet allows then I might get her.<br /><br />And the figure that everyone's been talking about. The Incredible Hulk. After examining most of the pictures I managed to gather online, I'm starting to think that the figure's articulation is limited to only his arms and ankles. I do hope I'm wrong and this is just a preliminary figure for Hot Toys to show off and get people excited.<br /><br />For more pictures head over to <a href="http://www.comicbookmovie.com/">http://www.comicbookmovie.com/</a><br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgOih3yVFcJFy4cOoZb61_zB6YGD32MnfflTcZQlQQ70XueznM-zIXQRunDE5DbNDTo3t2GBytrcwmEUCslOnOc6ch1htiyVTf4oYg082DkORIrBBsG4rQwl-JaLJuuODRlHX9sRCFUWxM/"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 585px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 425px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5771641923594558962" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgOih3yVFcJFy4cOoZb61_zB6YGD32MnfflTcZQlQQ70XueznM-zIXQRunDE5DbNDTo3t2GBytrcwmEUCslOnOc6ch1htiyVTf4oYg082DkORIrBBsG4rQwl-JaLJuuODRlHX9sRCFUWxM/" /></a><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjTAywpiZhWMO8Z0BYeBJPG9lQjlzgLXnVlx_8Xj7CGPf1p_EdZkTKZTc0h-IHxz7xiuVOza9CW9wx6KgrJQt5MoFt0Y38oyS5WIWbx843_koykZ5J9D1WgZMQNP7zDFs-gCKpkgn2XynY/"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 585px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 758px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5771641917342730690" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjTAywpiZhWMO8Z0BYeBJPG9lQjlzgLXnVlx_8Xj7CGPf1p_EdZkTKZTc0h-IHxz7xiuVOza9CW9wx6KgrJQt5MoFt0Y38oyS5WIWbx843_koykZ5J9D1WgZMQNP7zDFs-gCKpkgn2XynY/" /></a><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjpUei1ybV9bsgQU4TIQ-Us-OksB2Z8-4FAvfu35ur_J2I5sn4Hjn2wqN4Oa04JFlXEJi-jbLI88rjK9lNA4pvTliwW9PQSVjFBtwku9fLeUa5Bor1bt1xdblTm4GgDGP9AHrwjikc_2Jc/"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 585px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 758px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5771641909671874354" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjpUei1ybV9bsgQU4TIQ-Us-OksB2Z8-4FAvfu35ur_J2I5sn4Hjn2wqN4Oa04JFlXEJi-jbLI88rjK9lNA4pvTliwW9PQSVjFBtwku9fLeUa5Bor1bt1xdblTm4GgDGP9AHrwjikc_2Jc/" /></a><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgA0tlfLE4CmWmQZNmKefB-GBCuISaw1DXTNfI0z60fDiIUoruN0_yLLQ6kr3jiXYt6VBXutZ_aW1MQX5yrdgk5J-1lC7vWyMtgYxi57WAxquQB3PKXfypB8BSO8qBcpa8tzFKwszlLjjY/"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 585px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 758px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5771641902828293250" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgA0tlfLE4CmWmQZNmKefB-GBCuISaw1DXTNfI0z60fDiIUoruN0_yLLQ6kr3jiXYt6VBXutZ_aW1MQX5yrdgk5J-1lC7vWyMtgYxi57WAxquQB3PKXfypB8BSO8qBcpa8tzFKwszlLjjY/" /></a><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhOlMNhsZOWVVX3m8uBghXB8m2Ijox5g-YZiCrcFIv8E-xJbl0NHPkccmDyUkYHA966PiuIgcGcOnAivPRbVQXTwQc4wVdUzLZDXkSEkNvHdWxPca9tYLvhCsupDIBvjlmhSTdiV2aL5fs/"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 585px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 758px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5771641900966982114" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhOlMNhsZOWVVX3m8uBghXB8m2Ijox5g-YZiCrcFIv8E-xJbl0NHPkccmDyUkYHA966PiuIgcGcOnAivPRbVQXTwQc4wVdUzLZDXkSEkNvHdWxPca9tYLvhCsupDIBvjlmhSTdiV2aL5fs/" /></a></div></span>Armandhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14226024958839461033noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8199517809747828452.post-55799335284106987812012-07-28T17:05:00.035+08:002012-08-01T16:31:21.173+08:00Collector's Toy Fair Kuala Lumpur 2012 - Field Report<div align="justify"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhl3_9L4NwNp3a4P-mT0THKSVTJ2HNOj3zSp1YG86TrLJj52ExwNHyaWoWmxitZMvtW0bc1B5bT3BR42pKEhLYZCumW7I2qDS_8vWb1Rud9oy1TyjMj7gd0yKwl1Sat1P2iqSQUYwVlkxw/" width="575" height="395" /><br /><br />Last month I visited the first ever Collector's Toy Fair Kuala Lumpur held at the Kuala Lumpur Gallery Library. Since I'm not on Facebook, my friend was nice enough to inform me of the event seeing as my friend knows how much of a toy nut I am.<br /><br /><span class="fullpost">I wasn't expecting anything going to this as clearly it's stated in the title that this is a collector's fair and not a convention. I went there to show support to the local collectors scene. I mean we're nowhere near what our neighbours are doing but it's a start. I would not consider the more disastrous Malaysia International Toys Fair to be up there.<br /><br />For a small event I was impressed with the whole set up. They did have some pretty cool activities like lightsaber duels and guest appearances by Vader's very own 501st Legion. They even had a gaming section where guests could play Rogue Squadron (one of the best Star Wars games in the past 10 years) and the not so cool Star Wars Kinect game.<br /><br />Some vendors had rare toy collections on display (not for sale, mind you) like Visionaries, TMNT from Playmate, my personal favourite M.A.S.K, and Kenner's first series Star Wars figures. I was amazed that these figures were still mint in box. I tried my luck and see if they could part with some of the goodies but alas I failed. He called his display the "Display Sakit Hati" or the Envy Display just to rile up us fanboys.<br /><br />Overall it was an okay event. But to be honest it does feel like just another day at Ampcorp Mall's flee market. Only difference is the venue. I did manage to snag a Kenner Boba Fett for RM30 so I went home a happy man :)<br /><br /><br /><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj5gv_4vC5xC-NLXmU51mqTsAXPToZTi2A6B1TIIRAVti7ZdqSKXv5P0lyenaOt7fP09t0Jjt2gNZ6_mc_nVrD-xERTPr3W_MTepXRfNM3crDCOU29qX4xgiKRnFAIE-KpkxTNbc9MZFMs/" width="575" height="395" /><br /><br /><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgpYMy7oYhTYsjoqCQH-HrgosnwR9lOVIOILVIZUbSkao5akpRjjXJsMeCYLtU9Expnqbht5ZcxcwTDFfEw1AMRseMByEYfghIaeUGgF8qs8Ww3x1cI8OBHEUgUq_e48MqLCYVeRtKw22s/" width="575" height="395" /><br /><br /><br /><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZagAF94wqQ71TRunPi4a0ICwJR8gToOjJ2UHFBLSGMUjX6pkJDBHRiXoi-8QQDpKVODoSmuLUKoi9KHFwuwueD7SmDachI1kj6yl6-7zR2_-c3Jwnyg7VtpZsYngxppeH0cczGytz62Y/" width="575" height="395" /><br /><br /><br /><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhBEcq-NU1oXn7Meb0XUW8YIKXoHVd-5Vf9lkmYVMHNrVu-D-EvdlanwrdIn1uiMkMH2HYl_o6XlGfVOmo7nuQPp_sMOvTNFPEdjMkUcHk9OkFG69AoKz2S2KmcKwAFF-vIJryMC13N2ug/" width="575" height="395" /><br /><br /><br /><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhjmON4ZVUBtASKALobieGvq39Ox108MrgEEMZ33y7IAUSX6217wd4Cox9a4gy0wTj29MRQnwEN8kitdiJ__fPSdrxMtAudkSvxKVzhmYJMX0OCWwCGLb0iXfpMdaHyRtZb3zAXHmi-AnU/" width="575" height="395" /><br /><br /><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhBZIR0kkrxX-FuLwOdJ84UBD4BjyT7vmsyIZiKFFgCwIK3HHBJlHPw2WwiKs5y31zxGWJZt_iKWkeHD3sl2mfierNJfJsR_FSB5mYWfZgHaFKRn_e7-bR-QlmZZfPyjrfv23o4BNTLSzA/" width="575" height="395" /><br /><br /><br /><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjpCZQPoFHsgKJs_9qXfnZk9OsAPlfycF-c84MPho9rcYb_AYTXyzgs9A_tbzz8DPyvnmrLF-z1DNUy2E-r3R4Mrs0z04j7X-ICSiXPn29wRrluyLB-jRqckSe-kPnyAumYRxD9jAQAXk8/" width="575" height="395" /><br /><br /><br /><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgDb-4BDN0JFICc64vbTBL_LHKeVhdHFH9t1FS-6ysDB90l36cxZwfeBBzdXjTtRPCqxPohsMIymS6DKOneyHlW6Md558L68stw3XuBNJwwweSQLy104bfP4kZn3qlxrX1vtz-RH1A9mNc/" width="575" height="395" /><br /><br /><br /><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhewVwQU-GMYamqP99monETGQFVlpe5i-CXHvSYaLJ_lCJ5sE8Jxk-cZdiF8eDnOaC766bRa_aEM1vX1ZjNabydf77lF9sbwyhnrZghEXstbdJNwrSM5AoDJVY19s8dIzlH1sWmzdeFqYE/" width="575" height="395" /><br /><br /><br /><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJuOPS1mM7NxUE_ajEZ-U9yqF2Zb4kdB0isIkKdFPCdHUPDueYECUWTP0UXyRMkWgjiKCMI8VH756WlFEDEl_qv7wPRWqoMs_ODhb9_Npi-cOE-RkPGB1s5yD8hP4EXqdY9Sl4bsjYZjk/" width="575" height="858" /><br /><br /><br /><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgFye0dboAr30T4SJoTaBXjHSJUFqNoQJagHTLlEzl9ILul_1B078KSpXJ1P6b8_KDhS8WFHzGRZKSEoOGdyFvYZeWuGgH6pgC_eKKEPQHN1zsPU1kqXmsjrRy0rANn5AOvFjzum0HbxlY/" width="575" height="858" /></span></div>Armandhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14226024958839461033noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8199517809747828452.post-77689521090063046612012-07-12T16:48:00.004+08:002012-07-12T16:49:53.855+08:00Collector's Toy Fair Kuala Lumpur 2012<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

Hell yeah! My Blu Rays I ordered are here! I must say I'm impressed with how fast the delivery took. I made my order last week and it only took about a week. Good job Amazon!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I got these 2 sets for cheaps off Amazon. They were having a special offer for the Lord of the Rings Trilogy and the Alien Anthology set and with those prices how can one resist. The LOTR set is a 15 disc set with 26 hours of bonus materials which also includes the Costa Botes documentaries. The Alien Anthology is a 6 disc set with a whopping 50 hours of bonus materials! There goes my social life :)</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Can't wait to get home and unwrap these. Will review and take more photos over the weekend. Gonna get my fix on ya'all!</div>

This year alone we're getting 5 movies with Ghost Rider: Spirit Of Vengeance kicking off the year followed by the highly anticipated The Avengers. Both Spiderman and The Dark Knight Rises will both hit theaters in July with Judge Dredd ending the list of superhero movies in September. I can honestly say of the 5, I'm most excited about The Avengers, with Batman coming a close second with Spiderman coming in at third.<br /><br />So we've all had a taste of things to come via the newly released trailers and the more recent superbowl teasers and what have you. Like any self respected fanboy, one would scrutinize each and every frame of the trailer, quenching our thirst if only for a short period of time before the movie hits theaters. So far I've done only The Avengers and Spiderman. I've yet to sit through Batman. I went one step further by actually taking snapshots from the trailer so I can share my joy with my fellow fanboys in this segment I like to call "A Snaphot in Time"<br /><br />I'm kicking this segment off with The Amazing Spiderman :)<br /><br /><span class="fullpost"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiIjjmP5fPWKb7GxogVf-VUMPNXsrJMJ2zkL1NxN5RFAZaj0AbkVKJ2tb6y7aoFBPfna3J9aOijmEQs0rN_Tz54Hrhu8rOuf-iXLa7c5CzoUiZL3pUeyqpJvNc-cgfWWTSJ5FsvovEUIBc/"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 585px; height: 420px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiIjjmP5fPWKb7GxogVf-VUMPNXsrJMJ2zkL1NxN5RFAZaj0AbkVKJ2tb6y7aoFBPfna3J9aOijmEQs0rN_Tz54Hrhu8rOuf-iXLa7c5CzoUiZL3pUeyqpJvNc-cgfWWTSJ5FsvovEUIBc/" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5708989102160890626" /></a>Here's a close up of Spiderman's web shooter. I thought it would have some form of cartridge much like the comic book version but apparently from what can be seen here it's just this little wristwatch sized shooter. From what I can gather by watching the trailer, Peter somehow manages to develop a new sticky composite which you can see him experimenting on below.<br /><br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh9plNWP6ORcXEG8tmJTYVa7eTYSpkcW7ZUtMKneHhiDJoIVhzQwqrbPP134Kj22R-Fj0_SqJkUoRKaoCZCHlGY-DYyyjTW9qmiLTWkMNFuwsciwTTHXrDIcBk56EmTlKuXJ2jygn6yv0k/"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 585px; height: 420px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh9plNWP6ORcXEG8tmJTYVa7eTYSpkcW7ZUtMKneHhiDJoIVhzQwqrbPP134Kj22R-Fj0_SqJkUoRKaoCZCHlGY-DYyyjTW9qmiLTWkMNFuwsciwTTHXrDIcBk56EmTlKuXJ2jygn6yv0k/" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5708989086900448978" /></a>Here you see Peter actually experimenting, developing the new composite by mixing two components. As soon as the thing in his hand makes contact with the shooter, it immediately spits out the webbing. In one scene from the trailer, you can see Peter wandering into a room filled with strands of webbing (where he eventually gets bitten) in one of OsCorp's lab. I'm guessing Peter's dad was actually trying to replicate a spider web and make it stronger for more practical uses. Peter might have stumbled upon the formula from his dad's briefcase or something. Peter being a genius himself (which they demonstrated in a scene with Peter and Dr Connors; Peter completing a complicated equation) manages to replicate the process and tadaa! Webshooters! <br /><br />I'm liking the direction of them actually going back with webshooters just like in the comics. A while back I actually condemned the move, stating it looked ridiculously large for him and made him look like the 70's movie Spiderman. Looking at the pictures and actual footage now, I have to say I take back all the bad things I said.<br /><br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj1xXLhWCi2UX3Etm_JZQi9tCNXz3TaNDsldZOjrjkmF0psbS1xX_iwW-xwlr_VsnQOUqyyPDVABezxETAABraRaNM1SFLuTEQEz8e8sCxCI1jQ2w_gubcwR6EKAES-eLQ5nRKu0GHV8MU/"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 585px; height: 420px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj1xXLhWCi2UX3Etm_JZQi9tCNXz3TaNDsldZOjrjkmF0psbS1xX_iwW-xwlr_VsnQOUqyyPDVABezxETAABraRaNM1SFLuTEQEz8e8sCxCI1jQ2w_gubcwR6EKAES-eLQ5nRKu0GHV8MU/" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5708989095191490114" /></a>From the picture above you can see the shooters actually emitting a red glow every time he uses it. The light could probably be the effect of the chemicals reacting. I don't know why they actually made the shooters light up. Looks a wee bit tacky but I think I can live with it. I can see the Spiderman action figures; light up wrist spiderman.<br /><br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiNtIwyzOuwt1tMpYrHIdRvVfvUJ8KQQLK08TCXRqXk6HxvB9xV_2zyXeyuFZm2FRrxZjNUUvNI4R-ybV4oadDtBOqa-u6Ctshyb5OhkBw2tel3Ljf6l6wpZ6x5naOa1E6ywAjW4UrM_aM/"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 585px; height: 420px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiNtIwyzOuwt1tMpYrHIdRvVfvUJ8KQQLK08TCXRqXk6HxvB9xV_2zyXeyuFZm2FRrxZjNUUvNI4R-ybV4oadDtBOqa-u6Ctshyb5OhkBw2tel3Ljf6l6wpZ6x5naOa1E6ywAjW4UrM_aM/" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5708989088327350002" /></a>Spiderman's eye protectors are somewhat gold rather than the silvery / white we're used to seeing in the comics and the previous movies by Sam Raimi. Maybe the gold reflects light better and gives Spiderman a more dramatic look when filmed. Maybe. It also looks slightly smaller than the ones we saw before. No complains there.<br /><br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjap-DnS5zUtVzCzby1tB5a-LoT4PlR8mNVZ8ymqYCM-W0uAzKDC7e14pxaE0NBLn8wbw6XBl5REHbaznjnnWLUGnIvGzFtHELYp3t8aX9cLSHF97QzQgAe20uZ6sSZ_C7Sh6cl6-JSAPM/"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 585px; height: 420px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjap-DnS5zUtVzCzby1tB5a-LoT4PlR8mNVZ8ymqYCM-W0uAzKDC7e14pxaE0NBLn8wbw6XBl5REHbaznjnnWLUGnIvGzFtHELYp3t8aX9cLSHF97QzQgAe20uZ6sSZ_C7Sh6cl6-JSAPM/" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5708989081553273522" /></a>Cicakman. People have been on the fence with the Lizard's overall look, some even going as far as saying that he looks like a scaled down version of Godzilla. I don't know why the studio didn't go for the classic Lizard look with an elongate snout but rather a Killer Croc looking lizard?

From here you can get a rough idea of the Lizard's physique and anatomy. You can see why people are calling him Godzilla. Just look at those hind legs! Check out the tail too. Ginormous. I wonder if it falls off when threatened? <br /><br />So there you go guys and gals. After watching the trailer a few times I must admit I'm pretty sold on the movie. But I have been disappointed before (Yes I'm referring to you Green Lantern). So here's hoping that the movie kicks ass.<br /><br />I'd love to hear any comments you might have regarding the movie.

Last off from Hot Toys' Iron Man 2 series is the Mark V. I'm not including the Mark II Armor Unleashed in the list because technically the suit was already featured in the first movie.<br /><br />Hot Toys announced the Mark V sometime in December 2010 and after much, much much delay the figure is finally hitting the store shelves. Most collectors were wondering if this figure would ever make it out of the factory floor seeing as it's been almost a year but the wait, my fellow collector is worth it.<br /><br /><span class="fullpost">The packaging is similar to the other Ironman figures from the line. I was hoping Hot Toys would somehow make the box art interconnected with one another just like the Mark IV War Machine and Black Widow but alas that was not the case. No biggie tho, just thought it would be cool to arrange the boxes and make one big poster-like collage.<br /><br />Out of the box the figure looks stunning. The details on the Mark V is astounding. Much love and dedication definitely went into the making of this one. The suit is beautifully replicated down to scale. First thing you'd notice is how scrawny the figure is. Technically this suit is suppose to be light in the plating department and was meant to be portable and having that in mind Tony Stark had to sacrifice a lot of armor to make the suit work the way it does (Whiplash's power whips cut through the armor like a hot knife through butter).<br /><br />I like how John Favreau paid homage to the classic comic book series by having an updated version of the Ironman briefcase; where in the comics Tony would store his Ironman gear in a briefcase and when needed would quickly change into his superhero duds. They even included the suitcase as part of the accessories, along with the handcuffs. Also worth mentioning is the choice of color for this particular suit. The Silver Centurion armor color scheme was used for the Mark V notably a nod for the fanboys; even though the Mark VI was more like the Silver Centurion armor sans the color. Hey maybe I should photoshop the Mark VI. Hmmmmmm....<br /><br />The articulation on this one is as good as you're gonna get it. It's far superior in terms of joint movements if you're comparing with the IV and the VI but don't expect the V to perform any contortions. It still has limitations, where the upper arm hits the chest plates. There's actually an instruction manual on how to position the arms during poses. Be careful when posing though, when done wrong you might chip the paint off.<br /><br />Another thing I'd like to point out is the articulation on the lower body and the ribs. I can't seem to figure out how to outstretch the joints, much like how the IV and the VI could pull the joints apart for more articulation. I tried numerous times to do so but couldn't. Funny thing is the instruction manual actually shows you how to do it but I think I was too scared to risk pulling it and snapping my figure in two.<br /><br />If only Hot Toys had thrown in a bruised and battered Tony Stark headsculpt in there that would have definitely made my day. I must say I am quite happy with this purchase. Noteworthy to the Ironman 2 line. Hats off to Hot Toys yet again for yet another masterpiece.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjfneZ4wwf9mIj-DSP2e-Bfp9HXNWcwrvJ0sR79FJRX-0frzCDzMttFRYoKSxYFJyXExZsGG6-s8Gl8-0K-2PV2BFXgzikvI6qZH9NAIGORT3T9O3SQ4yPX0zOi2BuQJmt4LSc-dNQbC9A/" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block;

My bad, thanks Desmond for the info<br /><br />Jeng jeng jeng! Well looks like Enterbay has acquired the license to produce the T-800 from Terminator 2. I have no idea as to why Enterbay would want to produce a figure that Hot Toys has just put out on the market barely a year ago. I understand if the figure is a few years old and they would like to make a better version of it but IMHO Hot Toys pretty much nailed the figure.<br /><br /><span class="fullpost">From the pictures I can tell straight off the bat that the head sculpt on Enterbay is pretty impressive. Dare I say even better perhaps? But there's something about the muscle body they're using that doesn't seem to fit. I can't put my finger on it but it just looks a bit out of proportion especially the shoulder area.<br /><br />But hey, I think it's good that there's still companies out there who are willing to challenge the almighty Hot Toys for top spot. The other companies try harder, because they're second spot. It keeps the big HT in check seeing as they are starting to monopolize the market and when that happens, capitalism is sure to follow.<br /><br />Hope Enterbay releases more pictures soon. So if any of you missed out on the Hot Toys version, maybe you'd want to consider picking this one up. Will you be getting one? Thoughts?<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjv18DHzBAWOCOySvpZcfoA3qxOvg-JYa6o1IPmvW-OWaBGEM5LyKHbOF9DBPXo-arTDp0S-Fu1518kgw6RLi34vZsGotkgpYqoapYpFjTPvZsfG6ssnrKTag-AKcB6747Ko9UWmu9OOmI/" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="text-align: justify;display: block;

To save his life, Tony instead build himself a suit of armor which also allowed him to escape. Since his return from captivity, Tony vowed to protect those in need and so Ironman was born.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">The movie back story was slightly different that his comic origins. Something to do with using China as the backdrop was somewhat sensitive, so they opted to use the middle east as the enemy (USA propaganda strikes again people).

No biggie.</div><span class="fullpost"><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">One of the more detailed Ironman figures from Hot Toys, the Mark I is indeed beautiful. Though not as articulate as the rest of the line, the detailing on this one is astounding. Every scrap of iron, wiring, nut and bolt were nicely replicated from the actual movie suit to this 1:6 version. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">When Hot Toys first previewed the figure on its newsletter, everyone was speculating whether the suit could be removed and reveal a Tony Stark figure underneath but alas we were wrong. Nevertheless collectors were still happy with the end result. The Mark I were selling like ice cream on a hot sunny day when it first came out. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Most of you might have either passed this one on or could not secure an order but fear not. Hot Toys has announce that they will be re releasing the Mark I. It's still uncertain whether the new Mark I will be a reissue of the old one or new goodies would be thrown in so that us poor collectors who already own the first Mark I would have to fork out more cash to actually buy the new version.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">I'm starting to get worried with Hot Toys lately. They seem to be milking us dry with reissues, upgraded versions or repaints. And I don't know about you guys but their prices have increased, not by much though.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">I'll wait and see what the new Mark I has to offer before I spend my hard earned cash on it.

Who would ever thought pretty boy Heath could have given us one of his most stunning roles as an actor in a purple suit and make up. <br /><br />The Joker spent most of his screen time donning his trademark purple suit with the exception of his cute nurse outfit, all the while having his make up on. But in one particular scene gave us a rare glimpse of Joker without make up. Man, even without makeup he still looks frigging scary! <br /><br /><span class="fullpost">So Hot Toys thought it would be an excellent idea to include this figure along with its DX Joker release. I must say a 2 for 1 is not a bad deal. All you need to do is get a Hot Toys TrueType body and dress the thing up and voala! 2 Joker figures for the price of one! I wish they would do more of these 2 for 1 figures. Especially the new DX Keaton Batman. They should include Keaton's head together, that way we can have 2 Bruce Waynes!<br /><br />But on a more serious note, The Dark Knight would not be the movie that it is without the amazing Heath Ledger. So I here's to Heath, arguably the best Joker there ever was. Rest In Peace.

I loved every bit of the 2nd Ironman movie as I did the first one. There are few who might not share my sentiments as some say the 2nd one did not match up to the first one. The first one was indeed a fantastic thrill ride, what with it being Marvel Studios' first movie. It was indeed a huge success and matching up to that would be quite a feat. But I say they did a fine job in doing so. Maybe not matching the first one, but the 2nd did the 1st one justice<br /><br />Ironman 2 gave us more than enough Ironman armour to last at least 2 movies; with the introduction of the Mark IV, the Mark V, War Machine and of course the Mark VI. That's 4 suits in one movie! But hey, who's complaining. <br /><br /><span class="fullpost">The Mark VI carries an uncanny resemblance to the Mark IV, with the obvious exception of the triangular window on the chest plate that houses the arc reactor. The changes are subtle but if you're sharp enough you'll notice the minute differences. You'd notice that the Mark VI armour is slightly chunkier than the Mark IV most notably the thighs and the calves. The arms and biceps are also beefed up with armour.<br /><br />Once again Hot Toys delivers and the translation of the Mark VI from big screen to 1:6 scale is simply stunning. With the artistry, dedication and love that was put into this figure, the only direction Hot Toys will be heading right now is up. Let's hope the success they're enjoying won't go to their heads and start charging us premium prices. <br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj4XuTz7p4o2LTN8UChWMSh7Hpqdo22BMhtw4g9Wne1dEr_kQTPGaxGAKBW7RoAnVVPAHhG2K6g9U8ioAFpJShxB34cln_q8Al1VVUwVb8xb75q9dX8ImuzOUyns-rRrS1SZlwKPU_VB1k/" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj4XuTz7p4o2LTN8UChWMSh7Hpqdo22BMhtw4g9Wne1dEr_kQTPGaxGAKBW7RoAnVVPAHhG2K6g9U8ioAFpJShxB34cln_q8Al1VVUwVb8xb75q9dX8ImuzOUyns-rRrS1SZlwKPU_VB1k/" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5654462054935532706" style="display: block;

I loved how John Favreau squeezed that into the movie without making it corny or forced upon. I was all giddy when I heard that in the cinema like any fanboy would.<br /><br />When Hot Toys launched the first line from their Ironman line fans and collectors alike were astounded by the quality and effort that was put into making the figures. There were a few hiccups here and there like how the coloring on the Mark III was more maroon than Hot Rod Red and the problem with the torso being unable to bend or flex more freely.<br /><br /><span class="fullpost">But with the new Ironman 2 line, Hot Toys managed to solve both these problems brilliantly I might add. The Mark IV and VI showcased the craftsmanship of Hot Toys and reminded the public why they are indeed the best in the business. <br /><br />War Machine was the first figure released from the series and as always Hot Toys delivers on the goods. He might not be as flexible as the rest of the lot but he was built that way. A tank. A big fat frigging cybernetic-no bullshit-kick you in the ass-exoskeleton tank :)<br /><br />I can't wait for the rest of the figures to arrive; The Mark V, Mark II Armor Unleashed, and the highly anticipated Iron Monger!<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEggqu-B63DqEvgOAAOrQpT_121__8Wxr53j5fzg7eMfrnPGscEDSKmFd1oVmuDks_I48z8doVf6PEtakV5EO9oIhOHol12UjYRWNIXXEvSgCogN4DdrznVHtyHHF4GqP6tdmyKYdYFKJk8/" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block;

I haven't been taking a lot of pictures of my figures as how I used to last year. You know how it is, the same lame excuses; busy with work, no time, no space, no light, no this, no that.<br /><br />Well hopefully now all that will change as I just finished settling down in my new pad. I've got more space now and I'm setting up the second room and turn it into "The Pop Culture Room".<br /><br />I'll share pics of the new pad but right now here's some pictures I took of the Mark IV.

I'm following closely on the three big ones; Zack Snyder's Man of Steel, Josh Whedon's Avengers and of course Chris Nolan's The Dark Knight Rises.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">All 3 movies are currently in the midst of principle photography and with that set pictures are popping up all over the internet. And as a fanboy, i feel it is my duty nay obligation to share these photos with you.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><br /><br /><span class="fullpost"><div style="text-align: justify;">First off, Man of Steel. As most of you already know Warner Bros are rebooting the Superman franchise with director Zack Snyder at the helm. Zack has a very distinctive style when shooting his films so it's interesting to see how he would fare with Big Blue. He's no stranger to comic books, having previously directed Frank Miller's 300 and Alan Moore's Watchmen. He might not be the best when it comes to telling his own original story (Sucker Punch was beautiful no doubt, but the plot wasn't all that strong IMHO), but with enough Superman source material spanning for more than 70 years Zack should do just fine.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Now on to the pictures. First thing you would notice is "Where the heck is the bright red underpants?". This has to be by far one of the biggest debates of the movie. We all know and love Superman for what he stands for; Truth, Justice and the American way. And just as iconic as the man himself is his bright red and blue costume. Sure we've made fun of his fashion sense of wearing his underwear on the outside but that's also what makes Superman well, Superman.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">You'll also notice that there are streamlines on the side, back and his waist, which makes the costume someone "alien". I'm actually totally fine with this addition to the costume. He is after all an alien from the planet Krypton so its only fitting that the suit has remnants of his now perished world.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">My guess to the costume overhaul is people at Warner Bros (who also owns DC Comics) wants to tie up the new movie with their New 52 comic line which in turn has something to do with copyright issues with Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEitvgqeg2NKtE-6mXqKrm27suiJBQcS1L5V6XNVct0Hu83_253aD9f8uyKK-GFZXeODLVkMCXaF2NQ_oq2MQZUEIwnaoet-5eHBvoYk8n40yDI15xtFrN60ZRguuDUinm0HAzjlFmr-iZE/" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="text-align: justify;display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; cursor: pointer; width: 595px; height: 850px; " src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEitvgqeg2NKtE-6mXqKrm27suiJBQcS1L5V6XNVct0Hu83_253aD9f8uyKK-GFZXeODLVkMCXaF2NQ_oq2MQZUEIwnaoet-5eHBvoYk8n40yDI15xtFrN60ZRguuDUinm0HAzjlFmr-iZE/" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5650619537067564066" /></a><div style="text-align: justify;">Where is the underwear?

Don't hold your breath :)</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Next would be earth's mightiest heroes; The Avengers. Rumour on the internet has it that the movie will be loosely based on the The Ultimate Avengers animated movie by Lionsgate.</div></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Josh Weadon of Buffy and Serenity fame is steering this behemoth of a movie project and I am very very excited. After what he did with the X team in Astonishing X-Men books, I have faith that Josh Weadon will hit this one right out of the park. His take on the X-men lore was dare I say ASTONISHING (pun intended). He was a key figure in kicking back the franchise back into full gear with his 24 issue run. So it's no surprise Marvel entrusted him to take on this mighty challenge of bringing together earth's mightiest heroes onto the big screen. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Now on to the main show. Most of you have probably seen the illustrated concept art for the ensemble of heroes, so here they are in the flesh. I really like how they did Clint's outfit, the slight hint of purple and not overdoing the costume too much. A for Cap, I'm not really sold with his costume. It just looks weird. I would prefer them maintaining the costume he had on in his movie, with army centric design. And is it just me or does Chris Evans look smaller than he was in the first movie? </div><p class="MsoNormal"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgBHlnS1CbK-5aH6mlLc-NnwZYqUDvzCYRw-XJ1mnNLOIHYqgngwj__hq3sQibtFT0wmSjIhRxtnim7_uKEV0qb1AP9Om272z32bm4Liox8O5s0CLIsUWr-1bHjB6Tf5rJkIauNgcWUH98/" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="text-align: justify;display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; cursor: pointer; width: 595px; height: 850px; " src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgBHlnS1CbK-5aH6mlLc-NnwZYqUDvzCYRw-XJ1mnNLOIHYqgngwj__hq3sQibtFT0wmSjIhRxtnim7_uKEV0qb1AP9Om272z32bm4Liox8O5s0CLIsUWr-1bHjB6Tf5rJkIauNgcWUH98/" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5650619065172842866" /></a></p><div style="text-align: justify;">Cool outfit dude.

Comic book crossover comes to life on the big screen. EPIC! </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Last but not least, we have Chris Nolan's highly anticipated conclusion to his Batman trilogy; the Dark Knight Rises. I'm still kinda sour with the title Nolan gave the movie but small matter. They just finished shooting in Pittsburg, and moving on to the next location.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">One of the main talking point for the movie is Bane played by Tom Hardy. Fanboys across the globe is criticizing Nolan's choice of actor to play bane, stating that Hardy's too tiny to carry the role of the man who broke the bat's back. Nolan's Batman, if you don't already know by now is grounded. Which means than even though Bane is big and bulging in the comics doesn't mean he needs to be one in real life. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">I believe Tom Hardy can pull off Bane. Note in the comic that Bane is more than just a big dumb brute with humongous muscles, he is just as intelligent and cunning as Bruce and we do need an actor of certain charisma to pull that off. I believe in Nolan. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh0fTRbBmQpEm8tZWqaBYmJGJM26Bs2jhJ0IVSMvKu5y1V7X6akD1pow-khidVLXmLZuKixbP1W7OqkX3feHY3mhAkgWW1MFpUrO7b3n2v2jbCXrvnE-ZSNzrTNGaywNUkRHkIREiwDhFI/" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh0fTRbBmQpEm8tZWqaBYmJGJM26Bs2jhJ0IVSMvKu5y1V7X6akD1pow-khidVLXmLZuKixbP1W7OqkX3feHY3mhAkgWW1MFpUrO7b3n2v2jbCXrvnE-ZSNzrTNGaywNUkRHkIREiwDhFI/" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5650619279474508258" style="text-align: justify;display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; cursor: pointer; width: 595px; height: 850px; " /></a><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEik8R6P1ZQN5m8rHpKSiuWYpJm-7msOTaOr731sHWY0PJT8fGAhi_wmFcFZkEe_GLryOGjdx0VBOYfVDgPXk7jzvXnkpadpFX1IKZVBhLWgczn5n-2I75wuW5DZByrApMFbNZ3niKP19jo/" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEik8R6P1ZQN5m8rHpKSiuWYpJm-7msOTaOr731sHWY0PJT8fGAhi_wmFcFZkEe_GLryOGjdx0VBOYfVDgPXk7jzvXnkpadpFX1IKZVBhLWgczn5n-2I75wuW5DZByrApMFbNZ3niKP19jo/" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5650619062540822402" style="text-align: justify;display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; cursor: pointer; width: 595px; height: 460px; " /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">I dunno about you guys but I am seriously psyched about these 3 movies.

Hot Toys The Dark Knight Batman New Suit and Joker. I'm selling these 2 off because I need to make room for other items in my collection. You can see my listing here:<br /><br /><a href="http://cgi.ebay.com.my/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=330597252157&ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT#ht_500wt_1156">Hot Toys The Dark Knight Batman New Suit and Joker</a><br /><br />It would be great if you guys could tell your friends about my sale as well :)<br /><br />It's hard for me to part ways with these 2 seeing as how long I had to wait for them but seeing as I already have the DX versions i felt it was only logical to let these 2 go. Hopefully these will be the only 2 I'll let go :)Armandhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14226024958839461033noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8199517809747828452.post-41046963299658937532011-06-22T13:33:00.005+08:002011-06-22T14:54:03.677+08:00Hot Toys Captain America<img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgbmhJO1sH_v0XV9cpebnRucvLLLXoNtwTBA7bZGuZ9piSmClYWQZc7Lay5AT_-ZYihjGPSsm2eR-LRtgP5sg_RsjNR5RwvGchpL9Xp8c-2VfSll1Yh9jENpAdK5QlidAjEcLwW_SvHWns/" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5620928319989018898" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 585px; height: 800px; " /><br />The figure looks good.
