Hot Toys " (Action) Figure King" Magazine Feature

For the 10th Anniversary of Hot Toys venture into movie merchandising from year 2000 to 2010 (Hot Toys has been around for much longer but their Movie Masterpiece Series - MMS line - started in 2000 and have put them where they are today: as KING of the 1/6 movie action figure! and in this area, they are untouchable), a magazine has been published in Japan just to talk about the people behind the products as well as the products themselves.

The magazine has the complete list of Hot Toys MMS figures / products / 1:6 scale movie merchandise from MMS001 up to MMS140 (to be released in December at the Hot Toys 10th Anniversary exhibition in Japan). Check out all the figures Hot Toys has released since 2000 if you haven't or simply to know what are the figures that have been released so far.

and ten from page 4 (with more on the way...). That isn't too bad right? I've not been spending too much haha, just been careful with my expenditure ;p I cannot imagine the guy who has ALL `O_o!

Check out MMS139 if you are a Resident Evil Alice (Milla Jovovich) fan, you'll probably be drooling like me. Can't wait to see her front / face. Let's hope Hot Toys doesn't disappoint.

The magazine goes on to give awards to the figures with BEST costume etc. Well, 2 out of 3 from this page ain't bad...

Two out of three from this page ain't bad either - I would've needed a whole new room just for the Batmobile, way too BIG for my liking

Full score here haha

BEST accessories? Two out of the three listed haven't even been released yet and are also not on the list of 140 MMS / Movie Masterpiece products / merchandise BUT hey, do remember that the FUN is in the toy / collectible and NOT in completing or buying everything. ENJOY what you have and don't pine for what you don't, that's my philosophy anyway (two cents worth) CHEERS :)
