MC TOYS 1/6th scale Burglar Outfit Set is ideal for 12-inch Scott Lang as seen in "Ant-Man"

What does Ant-Man (Scott Lang) wear when he's not in costume? This is somewhat related to the previous toy blog post as well ;p

Ant-Man is a 2015 American superhero film based on the Marvel Comics characters of the same name: Scott Lang and Hank Pym. Upon his release from prison, well-meaning thief Scott Lang (Paul Rudd) moves in with his old cellmate, Luis (Michael Peña). Unable to hold a job because of his criminal record, Lang agrees to join Luis' crew and commit a burglary. Lang breaks into a house and cracks its safe, but only finds what he believes to be an old motorcycle suit, which he takes home. After trying the suit on, Lang accidentally shrinks himself to the size of an insect. Terrified by the experience, he returns the suit to the house, but is arrested on the way out. Hank Pym (Michael Douglas), the homeowner, visits Lang in jail and smuggles the suit into his cell to help him break out.

This MC TOYS (F-060) 1/6th scale Burglar Outfit Set looks to be the ideal set for kitbashing a 12-inch Scott Lang figure as seen in "Ant-Man", before he becomes the superhero. The 1:6 scale Burglar Outfit Set will come with: J-ENZO Jacket, Intercept PD Pants, Black Hoodie, Grey T-shirt, Black Leather Gloves, Icon Pack 3.0 Backpack, Socks, Black 6-inch Boots. NOTE: Head and body are not included. The great thing about this set is that this can also easily pass off as a perfect zombiecalypse survivor. Just give him some weapons and he's ready to roll.

The Evolution of Off-Duty Superhero Fashion featuring Bruce Wayne, Clark Kent, Tony Stark...

All credit to Sunglass Warehouse for this infographic (also related to previous toy blog post)

We don’t usually think of what we wear each day as a costume, but that’s precisely what they are. Those suits we wear every day to the office, or the color coordinated and logo emblazoned shirts we wear to the shop are really costumes – a particular style of dress for an occasion.

Nothing’s more natural to a superhero than to be suited up and in action. It’s when the hero is off hours, trying to blend into the crowd that the real costume is put on. Superman is a prime example of this. Unlike most other superheroes, Superman was not transformed into what he is. He was born that way, and Clark Kent is his alter ego – his costume to blend in with the crowd.

As the decades have passed superheroes still need to stay disguised, but we thought it would be interesting to look at how their off-the-clock outfits have changed from the 70s and 80s. Tony Stark has updated his suits to look more modern and thankfully has gotten rid of his permed mullet. We did find some more stubborn superheroes like Wolverine and Captain America who look slightly dated, but maybe it’s a lower priority when ageing is less of a concern. Bruce Banner, Peter Parker and Tony Stark are featured as well :)

Mighty Jaxx XXRAY Batman, XXRAY Wonder Woman & XXRAY Superman 4" vinyl art figures

These are the recently released Mighty Jaxx DC Justice League of America XXRAY Superman, XXRAY Wonder Woman and XXRAY Batman 4-inch tall dissected vinyl art figures designed in collaboration with Jason Freeny. Based in Singapore, XXRAY builds on your imagination and shows you what your favourite character looks like on the inside. Balancing good design and unique licenses, it is the company's promise to produce outstanding quality collectibles. The XXRAY team is spearheaded by popular artist Jason Freeny (well known for his dissection style) and the Mighty Jaxx team.

Jason Freeny's early success as an artist came with his creations of a series fictional anatomical character schematics and illustrations in 2007 but was most noted when he began creating anatomical toy sculptures shortly after. I am a fan of Jason Freeny's work and I was most pleased when I managed to get hold of a signed edition of Jason Freeny's Gummi Bear Anatomy Toy in 2015 (see the toy review posted on my toy blog HERE). That was followed by the 6-inch Dissected Gingerbread Man ABS Art Collectible by Jason Freeny and Mighty Jaxx - pictures posted HERE. I also managed to get the Jason Freeny 'Micro Anatomic' figures at STGCC2015, including the STGCC2015 exclusive which is the clear version (see my haul HERE).

The "Trinity" is a nickname collectively given to the top three most popular characters in the DC Universe, Batman, Superman, and Wonder Woman. This name has also been used for several series' and storylines that focus on these three characters teaming up. It seems apt that XXRAY chose to release these three figures together as part of their new line. All three figures stand at 10 cm (4 inches) tall, and feature unique dissections. These collectibles are individually hand painted and assembled. You can get them from the stores listed on their website HERE

What I meant was the apartment in Singapore housing all the toys is up for sale!

It wasn't too long ago that I was welcoming you all to my new place via my toy blog (see my July 2008 post HERE) and now it's time to move on to another new chapter. So to anyone who is interested to buy this property which is perfect for toy and action figure collectors because all the display cabinets have been built in and are ready to display all your precious collection, you can contact me via email. It's an HDB Executive Apartment (size: 1399 sq ft / 130 sq m) so it's rather spacious by Singapore standards.

And since the new place is smaller, a lot of the figures will have to go as well. So for those who are interested in the toys and action figures I have, you can email me with your offer :) If the offer is right and we are both agreeable on the price, then we can deal. If the offer is too low and unreasonable, you won't get any reply from me because we all have to put a certain value to the things we consider precious, and memories are the most precious of them all. It's been a blast collecting all these years but some things just have to go to make space for newer stuff.

Review II: Hot Toys 1/6th Ant-Man 12" Collectible Figure with Paul Rudd as Scott Lang head sculpt

continued from previous toy blog post...

Sam Wilson: I can see you!
Scott Lang: He can see me...
[scales up, and unlatches helmet]
Scott Lang: Hi, I'm Scott.

This is the recently released Hot Toys Movie Masterpiece Series MMS308 1/6th scale Ant-Man Collectible Figure with newly developed helmeted head sculpt that has an authentic likeness of Paul Rudd as Scott Lang. The helmet with LED light-up feature is simply stunning in its design and construction at this scale and size (as shown in my first part action figure review HERE) and the Paul Rudd as Scott Lang head sculpt is equally amazing and life-like. The highly realistic sculpt coupled with the skilful paintwork bears a strong resemblance to the actor who plays Ant-Man in the 2015 American superhero film.

The front part of the Hot Toys 1:6 scale Ant-Man helmet is removable (the lens portion) and has magnets embedded inside so that it attaches easily to the forehead region of the helmet. It stays in place without any problem and makes for a fine display indeed. The magnetic mask goes onto the forehead while the mouth piece can be moved / articulated downwards to reveal the full face of Scott Lang (Paul Rudd). Not bad for a guy who was on the sitcom Friends as Phoebe Buffay's boyfriend. he has certainly come a long way.

DID WWII US 2nd Armored Division "Hell-on-Wheels" SSGT Donald aka Fury's "Wardaddy"

No prizes for guessing who this latest DID 1/6th scale WWII U.S. Army 2nd Armored Division "Hell-on-Wheels" SSGT Donald 12-inch action figure is based on. It certainly took them long enough.

Fury is a 2014 American war film set during World War II written and directed by David Ayer. The film stars Brad Pitt as US Army SSG Don "Wardaddy" Collier, Shia LaBeouf as T/5 Boyd "Bible" Swan, Logan Lerman as PVT Norman "Machine" Ellison, Jon Bernthal as PFC Grady "Coon-Ass" Travis, Michael Peña as CPL Trini "Gordo" Garcia, Jason Isaacs as CPT "Old man" Waggoner, and Scott Eastwood as SGT Miles.

The film is set during the last month of the European Theater of war during World War II in April 1945. As the Allies make their final push into Nazi Germany, a battle-hardened U.S. Army Staff Sergeant in the 66th Armored Regiment, 2nd Armored Division named Don "Wardaddy" Collier (Brad Pitt) commands an M4A3E8 Sherman tank called Fury and its five-man, all-veteran crew, consisting of Boyd "Bible" Swan (Shia LaBeouf), gunner, Grady "Coon-Ass" Travis (Jon Bernthal), loader and Trini "Gordo" Garcia (Michael Peña), driver. After losing the assistant driver / bow gunner in battle, he gets a recently enlisted typist, Norman Ellison (Logan Lerman), as a replacement.

This DID offering of "Wardaddy" may be two years late (it's already mid-2016) but it's certainly the BEST World War II U.S. Army Tanker figure ever produced. Dragon Models Limited teased a Wardaddy figure (see my toy blog post HERE) but I've never seen it. Max Toys previewed their version in 2015 (check out the preview pictures HERE). I even attempted to kitbash 1:6 scale Brad Pitt as WWII U.S. Army staff sergeant Don "Wardaddy" Collier 12-inch military figure - posted HERE but this upcoming release by DID blows them all to bits. The 1/6th scale Rawlings (M-1938) tanker helmet is made up of over 70 different parts including fabric, plastic and real leather (see pictures below)!

Check out Dam Toys 1/6th scale Gangsters Kingdom Side Story: Officer A. Lewis 12" figure

Just when I think I'm out, they pull me back in.

I've stopped my collection of Dam Toys 1/6th scale Gangsters Kingdom series for a while now because let's face it: there are just too many 12-inch action figures being offered on the whole and not enough moolah to buy every single one of them. The first few offerings were exciting but after a while, the motivation to keep on collecting just wasn't there. I had stopped getting GK009 Gangsters Kingdom "Spade 7" Harry onwards and wasn't too keen on GK008 Gangsters Kingdom "Spade 6" Ada, even though she was Dam Toys first female figure (But you can still check out my good friend Ted's review posted on my toy blog HERE). Then Dam Toys releases these pictures and this latest offering and preview by Dam Toys is so bought!

This is the upcoming soon-to-be-released Dam Toys (GKS003) 1/6th scale Gangsters Kingdom Side Story: Officer A. Lewis 12-inch female action figure and it will come with 1/6th scale head sculpt, Dam female action body, hand palms x5, uniform hat, police uniform, police jacket, boots, watch, police duty belt, radio with hand mic, radio pouch, CQC holster, P229 pistol, pistol mag x2, pistol mag pouch, handcuffs, handcuffs pouch, police baton, M870 shotgun, flash light, flash light holder.

All of the figures from Dam Toys Gangsters Kingdom series resemble a famous actor or person in real life even though the head sculpt is done in a caricature / animated style and I've been able to identify every one of them until now. I just cannot make out who the head sculpt is supposed to be of. Officer Anne Lewis was the DPD police officer partnered with RoboCop in the 1987 American cyberpunk action film but the head sculpt looks nothing like Nancy Allen, the actress who played Anne Lewis.

Hot Toys MMS308 1/6th scale Ant-Man 12-inch Collectible Figure Review 1 - Truly a Masterpiece

“Scott, I need you to be the Ant-Man.”

Ant-Man is the name of several fictional superheroes appearing in books published by Marvel Comics. Created by Stan Lee, Larry Lieber and Jack Kirby, Ant-Man's first appearance was in Tales to Astonish #27 (January 1962). The persona was originally the superhero alias of the brilliant scientist Hank Pym after inventing a substance that allowed him to change size; however, Scott Lang and Eric O'Grady have also taken on the Ant-Man mantle.

In the 2015 American superhero film "Ant-Man", Paul Rudd is Scott Lang, a former systems engineer at VistaCorp and petty criminal who acquires a suit that allows him to shrink in size but increase in strength as the Ant-Man with the help of former S.H.I.E.L.D. agent, entomologist, and physicist, Hank Pym (Michael Douglas).

This is part of my haul for May 2016 (see the toy blog post HERE): The Hot Toys Movie Masterpiece Series MMS308 1/6th scale Ant-Man Collectible Figure. The movie-accurate Ant-Man Collectible Figure is specially crafted based on the film and features a newly developed helmeted head sculpt with an authentic likeness of Paul Rudd as Scott Lang. When closed, the helmet features LED light-up eyes (battery operated). The Ant-Man also includes a specially tailored Ant-Man suit worn over an approximately 12-inch / 30 cm tall fully articulated TrueType body, an Ant-Man miniature figure, detailed accessories and a specially designed figure stand.

FLAGSET 1/6th scale The Masked Mercenaries Continue To Fight aka Alpha Army of Two figure

Army of Two: The Devil's Cartel is a third-person shooter video game developed by the Montreal branch of Visceral Games and released on March 26, 2013 by Electronic Arts for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. It is the third game in the Army of Two series, following 2008's Army of Two and 2010's Army of Two: The 40th Day. The game takes place in Mexico and pits T.W.O. (Tactical Worldwide Operations) against a ruthless drug cartel known as La Guadaña (Spanish for "the Scythe"). Whereas the last two games focused around characters, Salem and Rios, Army of Two: The Devil's Cartel focuses around two new T.W.O. operatives named Alpha and Bravo. It is speculated that the reasoning behind the unidentified names is to give the player the feeling that it is them fighting through the missions.

FLAGSET 1/6th scale The Masked Mercenaries Continue To Fight features: Headsculpt | Body with tattoo | M4 Carbine, M4 magazine, magazine pouch, tactical flash light, sight, M4 sling | pair of palms for holding weapon | removable mask | Shotgun, shotgun shells, shotgun sling | phone set, holder | dagger, sheath | P266 pistol, holster | pen | shirt | tactical vest | pants | shoes | knee pads | elbow pad | shoulder pad | belt

"I am the LAW!" Xensation AF15 1/6th scale Sylvester Stallone Judge Dredd 12" Action Figure

Judge Dredd is a fictional character who appears in British comic books published by Rebellion Developments, as well as in a number of movie and video game adaptations. He was created by writer John Wagner and artist Carlos Ezquerra, and first appeared in the second issue of 2000 AD (1977), a weekly science-fiction anthology. He is that magazine's longest-running character. Joseph Dredd is a law enforcement officer in the dystopian future city of Mega-City One in North America. He is a "street judge", empowered to summarily arrest, convict, sentence, and execute criminals.

An American film loosely based on the comic strip was released in 1995, starring Sylvester Stallone as Dredd (it was said that Arnold Schwarzenegger was originally requested for the role, but declined because in the original script, Dredd would keep the helmet on during major parts of the film). In deference to its expensive Hollywood star, Dredd's face was shown. In the comic, he very rarely removes his helmet, and even then his real face is never revealed.

The Xensation AF15 1/6th scale Sylvester Stallone Dredd 12-inch Action Figure will include: Detailed head sculpt and removable helmet, fully posable male body, Authentic body suit with armor, Special belt and accessories plus gun holder, 4 inter-changeable hands, boots, hand gun.

Having reviewed the Bandai Tamashii Exclusive Movie Realization 7-inch (18 cm) tall Teppo Ashigaru Sandtrooper action figure, let's see how he looks next to the earlier released Bandai Star Wars Movie Realization 7-inch tall Ashigaru Stormtrooper action figure.

Just like in the Star Wars films where the Sandtroopers were more weathered and dirtied compared to the Stormtroopers, the Bandai Tamashii Teppo Ashigaru Sandtrooper action figure is also less white and more yellow in appearance compared to the Ashigaru Stormtrooper. The Sandtrooper also has a orange shoulder pauldron (designation for squad leader) and additional pouches on his left shoulder.

While the earlier released Bandai Star Wars Movie Realization 7-inch tall Ashigaru Stormtrooper action figure came with a Tanegashima (Japanese matchlock) that resembled the E-11 blaster rifles carried by Stormtroopers, the Teppo Ashigaru Sandtrooper action figure comes with a longer rifle which looks to be inspired by the DLT-19 heavy blaster rifle in the films.

DAM TOYS Gangsters Kingdom 1/6th scale Spade 6 ADA 12-inch female action figure review

The 6 of spades, Ada, is Dam Toys first 12-inch female action figure and part of their Gangsters Kingdom 1/6th scale series. You can read all about her backstory posted on my toy blog sometime back HERE. While I didn't get this figure, my good friend Ted Menten did. Ted has been a guest reviewer on this blog many times already, having covered some of the figures that I didn't pre-order or purchase, such as the CmToys 1/6th scale 12-inch Figure Body (posted HERE), ThreeA Lost Planet 2 1/6th scale Mercenary 12-inch Action Figure (reviewed HERE), ACG Toys ATF-002 1/6 scale 'Young & Dangerous' Teddy Boy (Chan Ho Nam) 12-inch figure (covered HERE) and Kaustic Plastik 1/6 scale XXL Project Set 1 - The Fantasy Warrior head and outfit set (posted HERE).

Once again, Ted has so generously offered to share with all of us his take of the DAM TOYS Gangsters Kingdom 1/6th scale Spade 6 ADA 12-inch female action figure with pictures and short descriptions so that we all can get to know Ada better. What else can I say except "THANK YOU, Ted"! This is very much appreciated :)

From Ted Menten:
This is my first Gangsters Kingdom figure. It has a lot interesting details. The head and face is exactly like the preview images. The hair is rooted and is cut in a boyish style. The upper torso is soft (rubber) and there is a tattoo on her chest and stomach. Hands are very detailed and include rings on the fingers. She has removable fingerless (mitts) gloves with a design on the top side.

Bandai Tamashii Movie Realization Teppo Ashigaru Sandtrooper 7" action figure review II

continued from previous toy blog post...

I've already covered the box and contents of this Bandai Tamashii Exclusive Movie Realization 7-inch (18 cm) tall Teppo Ashigaru Sandtrooper action figure boxed set in my first-part action figure review posted on my toy blog on May 4 (Star Wars Day). The figure comes with six additional interchangeable hands, Backpack, Blaster rifles (medium and large) and a Japanese katana with sheath.

While the earlier released Bandai Star Wars Movie Realization 7-inch tall Ashigaru Stormtrooper action figure came with a Tanegashima (Japanese matchlock) that resembled the E-11 blaster rifles carried by Stormtroopers, the Teppo Ashigaru Sandtrooper action figure comes with a longer rifle which looks to be inspired by the DLT-19 heavy blaster rifle in the films. The DLT-19 was not as popular or as well-known as the standard-issue E-11 blaster rifle, because it took longer to assemble and load. However the DLT-19 was much more powerful and had a much greater range than the E-11 model.

Check out Kotobukiya Edward Scissorhands 9-inch tall Bishoujo Statue - that's not Johnny Depp

Kotobukiya’s elite Bishoujo Statue line has brought you beautiful characters from all manner of anime series, DC and Marvel comics, Star Wars, video games, and much more. Recently the series took a totally unique turn, transforming two horror movie icons into pretty girls with Jason Voorhees and Freddy Krueger. Now a third gender-bending film star joins the party with a stunning new Bishoujo interpretation of Edward Scissorhands!

Tim Burton’s classic 1990 dark fantasy introduced the world to Edward (played magnificently by Johnny Depp), a gentle automaton with unfinished scissor hands created by a mad scientist. Now that character’s iconic appendages, color scheme, and style have been interpreted by Kotobukiya based on an original illustration by Shunya Yamashita that brings Edward to life as never before.

The beautiful female version stands with all the awkwardness of the film character, her feet apart and knees spread, head cocked to one side, and scissor hands held up in front of her. “Edward” wears a fantastically detailed black gothic-style outfit with tall boots, stockings, a short dress with shredded skirt, long gloves, and a choker at her neck. The darkness of her clothing is offset by striking gold buckles and studs, and of course the silver blades of her scissors. Meanwhile, under her tousled black hair this unique creature silently ponders the world with a cute expression on her Bishoujo-styled face.

Sideshow Collectibles 1/6th scale Jason Voorhees (Friday the 13th Pt. III) 12-inch Figure

Friday the 13th is an American horror franchise that, as of 2016, comprises twelve slasher films, a television show, novels, comic books, and tie‑in merchandise. The franchise mainly focuses on the fictional character Jason Voorhees, who drowned as a boy at Camp Crystal Lake due to the negligence of the camp staff. Decades later, the lake is rumored to be "cursed" and is the setting for a series of mass murders. Jason is featured in all of the films, as either the killer or the motivation for the killings.

Although the films were not popular with critics, Friday the 13th is considered one of the most successful media franchises in America - not only for the success of the films, but also because of the extensive merchandising and repeated references to the series in popular culture. The franchise's popularity has generated a fanbase who have created their own Friday the 13th films, fashioned replica Jason Voorhees costumes, and tattooed their bodies with Friday the 13th artwork. Jason's hockey mask has even become one of the most recognizable images in popular culture.

Sideshow has released new images of their latest cult-classic horror movie collectible: a 1:6th scale action figure of Jason Voorhees as seen in Friday the 13th: Part III. The reveal gives us a look at the many weapons of teenage mass destruction the figure will come with, including his trademark bloody machete, an axe and, just in case one tries to get away, a speargun.

A veritable tank on wheels, each Batmobile was armored, highly maneuverable, and possessed numerous non-lethal deterrents that were used in Batman's war on crime.

Sideshow and Prime 1 Studio are proud to present the Batmobile from Batman: Arkham Knight. Designed by Batman, the Batmobile is a highly detailed vehicle that exceeds capabilities of any other on the road. Armored and outfitted with enhanced recon capabilities and weapons, this tank-like custom car is Batman’s main mode of transportation around Gotham City. This 1:10 scale polystone diorama features an LED light-up function.

Review II: Square Enix Play Arts Kai DC Variant "Batman: Timeless - Sparta" Batman action figure

continued from previous toy blog post...

Backstory:
At the dawn of modern civilization, where Caesars ruled and warriors of legend were making their paths, a forgotten tribe is decimated by raiders spurred on behind the scenes by corrupt leaders. A man covered with the ashes of his comrades stands tall. He mutters the tribe's creed: "Gothe Heam Stundes" which means "Justice comes for you".

Bards being to sing tales of a fearsome warrior striking bands of thieves down and protecting nomadic families from ill fates. Intimidating to his enemies yet with an air of respect for those who deserve it. The Dark Knight had arrived.

This is the recently released Square Enix Play Arts Kai 1/7th scale DC Comics Variant "Batman: Timeless - Sparta" 10.5-inch tall action figure. The premise is that there will always be a Batman in any timeline in alternate universes and so this particular Batman existed in the same period as the Spartans of old. Spartan Batman comes with a shield with a Bat symbol on it, a spear, five additional interchangeable hands, four daggers, a long sword and a figure stand. In the first part action figure review posted on my toy blog earlier HERE, I covered the box contents and shared close-up shots of this figure with all the nice intricate details. Here in this second-part review are more pictures of this awesome action figure because one post is just not enough to contain all this coolness!

Review 1: Bandai Tamashii Movie Realization Teppo Ashigaru Sandtrooper 7" action figure

This was part of my March 2016 haul which was posted on my toy blog HERE

And since today is Star Wars Day (May the 4th be with you), I thought it'll be most appropriate to post something Star Wars related.

Sandtroopers were stormtroopers equipped to operate on desert worlds. Their armor was augmented with cooling fans and a helmet sand filter. In addition, they wore a survival backpack stocked with extra rations and water. We first knew of the Sandtroopers in the original 1977 Star Wars (now known as Episode IV: A New Hope) film when a detachment of sandtroopers were dispatched to the surface of the planet Tatooine, where they searched for the missing Death Star plans. During the search, some troopers utilized the native dewbacks as mounts.

One of the most revolutionary things about Star Wars when it came out was, that the things in the movies did look like they were used. Everything was dirty, sooty and worn-out. Before Star Wars it was more common for science-fiction movies to look clean and futuristic. This look, that George Lucas called a “used universe”, heavily supports the believability of the Star Wars universe. This "used" look was most evident with the Sandtroopers.

Inspired by the Imperial Sandtroopers seen in the Star Wars movies, the designers at Bandai has reimagined these Sandtroopers as foot infantry soldiers of feudal Japan who come with a special backpack designed with meticulous detail and finished with a rusty look. The Star Wars Sandtroopers wore colored pauldrons as a designation of rank. This Bandai Tamashii Movie Realization Teppo Ashigaru Sandtrooper 7-inch (18cm) tall action figure is no different. A sandtrooper sergeant's pauldron was white, while an enlisted trooper's pauldron was all black. Squad leaders, who led units of seven troopers, wore orange shoulder pauldrons.

That's gotta be good news for many of us, right?
