1/4 Enterbay Terminator 2 Figure Review

I've had this figure for a while. My personal opinion, this figure represents Enterbay's finest work. I might be a bit biased though as I'm a massive fan of the Terminator series and the man himself Arnie.

As the title suggests, this figure is a 1/4 scale figure. Which means he's pretty big standing at just under 19 inches tall. I always said I wouldn't get into buying larger figures and models like this, but I just had to make an exception here.

Full scale Lightsaber replicas

So when I was a kid, I would have killed for a high quality full scale Star Wars Lightsaber prop. I remember pouring over pictures of props in various books and magazines. Of course there was no way someone was going to spend a couple hundred pound on a Lightsaber for a child haha.

Roll on to adulthood and I can now waste my own money on such things, oh yeah!
I picked up the following handmade Lightsaber prop from a fantastic company called Saberforge.
(I'll put a link to their site at the bottom of this post).

 Personally this is probably my favorite Saber of them all, Luke Skywalker's Lightsaber from Return of the Jedi.

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.

1/12 Storm Collectibles Ryu Figure Review

Hadouken!

I recently purchased this gem from America, as always cool stuff like this can't simply be bought from a normal shop in the UK. I always see posts on Reddit where Americans casually say they were at Walmart or Toys R Us (RIP) and they picked up one of these figures on sale. I get massively salty about it because we just have toy shops that sell wooden rocking horses and hoola hoops (slight over exaggeration). Any hooo this marks my first Storm Collectibles figure! This is Ryu from the beat-em-up video game Street Fighter 5.

I'm back! Here are some NECA 1/4 Turtle pictures to celebrate.

I'm back after a fairly long hiatus, *cough 6 years! My collecting habit has not slowed down any. Although I'd say due to mental spirally costs of Hot Toys I've probably shifted more towards collecting smaller scale figures like NECA, Figuarts and Figma stuff. The quality for these companies has jumped up massively over the last few years and they are a pleasure to buy and display, plus they take up less room ha.

That being said, over 2017 I bought the fairly big 1/4 TMNT figures that NECA released one by one, thank god they didn't release them all at once as it was a fairly expensive affair. Due to stupid licensing issues they weren't released in the UK for sale so each figure had to be purchased from the US, or risk paying nutty aftermarket prices. I'm chuffed to own all four now. Enjoy the pics and look out for more review's coming soon.
