1/6 Hot Toys MMS241 The Winter Soldier Review

I've had Bucky for a while now but thought I'd lift him out and take some pictures. Even though the film ends with giant floating battleships, I still appreciate the more down to Earth feel that rest of Captain America: The Winter Soldier has. I  personally loved the film and ended up buying multiple Hot Toys figures based on the film.

Enjoy the rest of the pics n quick figure review.

1/6 Hot Toys MMS173 City Hunter Predator Review

With the new Predator movie on the horizon (urgh) I was inspired to watch the two Predator movies the other night (that's right I'm ignoring the other films). After watching Predator 2 I couldn't resist lifting out my 'City Hunter' Predator and taking a few pictures.

Enjoy the review :)

"Want some candy?" -The Predator, that one time he didn't murder a child.

1/6 Hot Toys Star Wars Princess Leia Figure Review

I've been wanting to put up some pictures of my Star Wars figures by Hot Toys for a while, and where better to start than with the amazing Princess Leia figure from A New Hope.

Look out for the rest of the characters from A New Hope coming soon. 

Hope you enjoy the review.

1/6 Hot Toys MMS409 Batman (Rebreather .Ver)

I mentioned on an earlier post that I also bought a new Batman recently. None other than the BATFLECK!

This is the 'Rebreather version' i.e. the one Hot Toys released under the Suicide Squad branding, having previously released Batfleck as part of their Batman vs Superman series.

This figure is a joy to pose and photograph. I had a blast taking the pictures. Enjoy :)

1/6 Hot Toys MMS383 + MMS382 Suicide Squad Review

Over last Christmas I got various Suicide Squad figures. Yes I know the film wasn't the best ever and it divided fans like mad but I still maintain that the film has it's merits and I appreciate that they tried something different with the Joker, even though most people seem to hate it.

Lets face it though, it was always going to be a daunting task following up acts by Jack Nicholson, Mark Hamill and Heath Ledger. The quality of the film aside I thought the figures that Hot Toys produced for it where pretty eye catching and I operate on a rule that if the figure catches my eye enough, I don't care what it's based on I'll have it!

So far I've bought four Hot Toys figures based on the film, 2x Jokers, 1x Harley Quinn and Batman. Today I'm showing off the Jokers and Harley.

Enjoy the pictures and quick thoughts on each of the figures.

Hot Toys Captain Jack Sparrow DX06

Why has the rum gone?!! It's everyones favourite pirate Jack Sparrow. Hot Toys 6th deluxe figure to date. As with all Deluxe (DX) figures he comes with an array of accessories and Hot Toys trademarked PERS (Parallel Eye Rolling System) Which allows you to pose his eyes.

Hot Toys T800 Terminator 1

Finally buckled and bought Hot Toys T800 as seen in Terminator. Wow what a figure, I really love it!

Hot Toys Captain America photo review

I was really excited to get this figure after seeing the film. I don't know what the general reviews were like but I really enjoyed this film and I would probably place it high up on my super hero films list. It surprised me because I never really had any previous interest in the character. Anyway onward and upward, lets have a look at the figure itself!

Recent Purchases

Tis been a while since I uploaded some pictures. I've been buying lots of stuff and taking lots of pictures, but for some reason when it comes to uploading them I just come over all lazy haha. Anyway here's a few pictures of some recent purchases. I'll be taking more pictures of Superman in the coming weeks and will probably do a quick review of him. Enjoy!

Hot Toys Whiplash (Iron Man 2) Jumpsuit alteration.

Well I finally got around to changing the colour of Whiplash's jumpsuit. For legal reasons Hot Toys Could not release the figure with the correct orange jump suit as seen in the movie, tsk. So they went with a brown jumpsuit instead (see at the bottom of this post for the example)

Hot Toys Predator (Predator 1)

Seems like only yesterday that I got my Predator figure, but now Hot Toys are releasing an updated version of this figure (all be it thinly veiled as a "Predators" version) thought I'd dust off good old faithful and take some pictures. Sigh I'm such a fool because I'm totally getting the new Classic Predator. Anyway enjoy.

Hot Toys Robocop (Robocop 3 with flightpack version)

If recent news on the net is to be believed,  Hot Toys might be revisiting the Robocop license soon. 

Now that would rock, 1/6 figure quality has increased ten fold in the last 3-4 years and I would love to see what they do with a 1/6 Robocop now.

Anyway to celebrate the news I thought I'd take some picture of my Robocop.

Ah a bit of nostalgia, this was my very first Hot Toys figure. This is what started it all! I'm so pleased I bought it seeing as it's very rare these days. 

Hot Toys Ironman MK VI

Got this recently. It's the Mark VI Ironman suit from the movie Ironman 2 (the suit he wears at the end after revising his ARC reactor design) Damn he's cool. Even better than the MK III (From the first Ironman movie) and I prefer this to the MK IV suit. Enjoy.

Hot Toys T1000 (Terminator 2)

I've had this for a while now but oddly I never got around to photographing him. This is one of my favorite Hot Toys to date. His body has metal panels under the clothing which allows you to stick magnetic bullet holes to him, genius. He comes with 2 full outfits and 2 heads, if your a fellow collector and haven't picked this up yet, I strongly recommend you do. I just wish I had bought the exclusive extra head :(

Btw don't forget to click on the pictures for a proper look at em. They are resized by default to be smaller on the main post.

Hot Toys Spiderman (Spiderman 3)

Just got this today. I'm very happy with it, hope you enjoy the pictures.

Some photography.

Started playing around with my new lighting set up the other day and thought I'd put it to full use photographing some of my collection. There's no particular theme really, just took pictures of the figures I felt inclined to photograph. Hope you enjoy them!
(btw theres quite a lot of pictures, don't forget to click the "read more" below the first picture)

Hot Toys Abigail Whistler (Jessica Beil)

Hot Toys Sgt Barnes - Platoon.

Sgt Barnes as played by Tom Berenger in the 1986 Vietnam war film Platoon.

Well What can I say? I love this figure, and I have to admit I'm on a bit of a Nam binge atm, having recently re-watched Platoon and then finally getting around to watching Apocalypse Now (yes for the first time) I do like a bit of Nam n explosions. Hope you enjoy the pics. 

Some recent purchases

Been busy of late but had chance to take some pictures the other day. Thought I'd post some pics.

The amazing War Machine from Hot Toys, as seen in the movie Iron Man 2.
Click the pictures to enlarge em ;)

Also been playing around with Soldier Stories SAD ver 2 night ops figures.

And finally a little pic I took of Hot Toys Whiplash, as seen in the movie Iron Man 2.

Got some really cool news from Emily Leung at Hot Toys today, I was one of the lucky ten that won the prize draw that took place on Facebook! The draw took place to celebrate Hot Toys reaching 10'000 fans on Facebook :) Well done Hot Toys and thanks for constantly raising the bar for 1/6 scale models!

Hot Toys T-800 Terminator 2 (ARNIE!!!)

Been messing about with my camera some more and come up with a slightly different look to my pictures. It's a very stark studio look. Anyway here's some pictures of my T-800.
