Check out DAM TOYS 1/6th scale DEVGRU K-9 handler in Afghanistan 12" military action figure

A police dog, known in some English-speaking countries as a "K-9" or "K9" (a homophone of "canine"), is a dog that is specifically trained to assist police and other law-enforcement personnel in their work. Their duties include searching for drugs and explosives, searching for lost people, looking for crime scene evidence, and protecting their handlers. Police dogs must remember several hand and verbal commands. The most commonly used breed is the German Shepherd.

Dogs in warfare have a long history starting in ancient times. From war dogs trained in combat to their use as scouts, sentries and trackers, their uses have been varied and some continue to exist in modern military usage. Dogs have been used for many different purposes. Different breeds were used for different things, but always met the demands of the handlers. Many roles for dogs in war are obsolete and no longer practiced, but the concept of the war dog still remains alive and well in modern warfare.

Contemporary dogs in military roles are also often referred to as police dogs, or in the United States and United Kingdom as a Military Working Dog (MWD), or K-9. Their roles are nearly as varied as their ancient cousins, though they tend to be more rarely used in front-line formations. As of 2011, 600 U.S. Military dogs were actively participating in the conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan. All MWDs in use today are paired with a single individual after their training. This person is called a handler. While a handler usually won't stay with one dog for the length of either's career, usually a handler will stay partnered with a dog for at least a year, and sometimes much longer.

PHICEN Limited 1/6th scale Snow Soldier 12-inch Action Figure. Wouldn't she be frozen? LOL

There was a magic land with vast territory, cold, barren and desolate, covered with snow all year round. But refreshed lives, lives of the King and Queen in this once vibrant, beautiful land were to be reborn, to emerge from their healing heavy sleep in this land with the power of rebirth. They were mortally injured in a pitched battle with the land’s vicious invaders that lasted a month. They won a great victory, but suffered a great deal. Invaders schemed to attack again, so the King and Queen were in danger. But we have our Snow Soldier. She was as pure and innocent as snow, and seemed fragile, but made no mistake, she possessed volcanic strength and a smart brain.

Snow Soldier, the guardian of this magic land, ready to fight until her king and Queen were reborn refreshed and bring pure lives to this land again.

I remember watching the film Fire and Ice, a 1983 American animated adventure-fantasy film directed by Ralph Bakshi. The film, a collaboration between Bakshi and Frank Frazetta, was distributed by 20th Century Fox, which also distributed Bakshi's 1977 release, Wizards. The animated feature, based on characters Bakshi and Frazetta co-created, was made using the process of rotoscoping, in which scenes were shot in live action and then traced onto animation cels. It was the ice age and the warriors wore even less clothes than our gal here.

DID 1/6th scale WWII U.S. Army 29th Infantry Division Radio Operator "Paul" 12-inch figure

The 29th Infantry Division (29th I.D.), also known as the "Blue and Gray", is an infantry division of the United States Army based in Fort Belvoir, Virginia. It is a formation of the United States Army National Guard and contains units from Maryland, Virginia, and North Carolina.

Formed in 1917, the division deployed to France as a part of the American Expeditionary Force during World War I. Called up for service again in World War II, the division's 116th Regiment, attached to the First Infantry Division, was in the first wave of troops ashore during Operation Overlord, the landings in Normandy, France. It supported a special Ranger unit tasked with clearing strong points at Omaha Beach. The rest of the 29th ID came ashore later then advanced to Saint-Lô, and eventually through France and into Germany itself. These actions have since been the subject of many motion pictures and video games.

Radio operators play a very important role in military communication, which is the transmission of information from reconnaissance and other units in contact with the enemy and the means for exercising command by the transmission of orders and instructions of commanders to their subordinates. As such, it comprises all means of transmitting messages, orders, and reports, both in the field and at sea and between headquarters and distant installations or ships. Military communication has thus long played an important role in warfare.

Hot Toys "Iron Man 3" 1/6th scale Sneaky Mark XV (Retro Armor Version) 31cm tall Iron Man suit

With its built-in cloaking system, the Mark XV "Sneaky" armor is among the most unique armors in Tony Stark's "House Party Protocol" in Iron Man 3. Today Hot Toys offers a special inspired take on the armor, livening up the original's cool dark gray color scheme to give it the Iron Man classic red-and-gold finish which first appeared in the Iron Man 3 concept art of this armor.

The Retro Armor Version of the 1/6th scale Mark XV collectible figure has the same sleek form factor as the movie version, but is given the iconic red-and-gold Iron Man coloration with newly painted and electroplated parts to mimic the original concept art design. This figure features a meticulously crafted armor equipped with LED light-up functions on eyes, arc reactor and repulsors, the unique asymmetrical forearm design, plus a specially designed dynamic figure stand and gold colored name plate.

This armor earned its name “Sneaky” for its cloaking system that can allow it to enter stealth mode and camouflage itself within its surrounding. You can check out the original suit's design and colors posted on my toy blog HERE.

Super Duck Set#010 1/6th scale Cosplay Outfit & Head Sculpt Set i.e. DC Comics 12" Power Girl

Power Girl (real name Kara Zor-L, also known as Karen Starr) is a fictional DC Comics superheroine, making her first appearance in All Star Comics #58 (January/February 1976). Power Girl is the cousin of DC's flagship hero Superman, but from an alternative universe in the fictional multiverse in which DC Comics stories are set. Originally hailing from the world of Earth-Two, first envisioned as the home of DC's wartime heroes as published in 1940s comic books, Power Girl becomes stranded on the main universe where DC stories are set, and becomes acquainted with that world's Superman and her own counterpart, Supergirl.

Though they are biologically the same person, Power Girl behaves as an older, more mature, and more level-headed version of Supergirl, with a more aggressive fighting style. She also adopts a different secret identity from her counterpart. These changes are reflected in their differing costumes and superhero names as well; Power Girl sports a bob of blond hair; wears a distinctive white, red, and blue costume with (in most versions) a cleavage-displaying cutout. The name Power Girl reflects that she chooses not to be seen as a derivative of Superman, but rather her own hero and this choice is reflected in the strong independent attitude of the character.

Super Duck Set#010 1/6th scale Cosplay Outfit & Head Sculpt Set Parts List: Head, Jumpsuit, Belt, Boots, Cloak, Gloved Hands. Note: Body is not included.

Remembering Actor Van Williams who played the GREEN HORNET and has passed away at 82 :(

Van Williams played Britt Reid and his alter ego the Green Hornet for one season in 1966, acting alongside Bruce Lee who played Green Hornet's sidekick Kato. The show even crossed over with 1966's other major superhero show, Batman, teaming the Green Hornet and Kato with the Dynamic Duo of Batman and Robin. Unlike Batman, however, Green Hornet was an attempt at a more serious superhero show.

Here's a tribute to the late actor:
"Another challenge for the Green Hornet, his aide Kato, and their rolling arsenal, the Black Beauty. On Police records a wanted criminal, Green Hornet is really Britt Reid, owner-publisher of the Daily Sentinel, his dual identity known only to his secretary and to the district attorney. And now, to protect the rights and lives of decent citizens, rides THE GREEN HORNET."

That was how the TV series always started, each episode begins with the monologue, narrated by producer William Dozier. AND this is another look at my upgraded Captain Action The Green Hornet figure. I replaced the Captain Action figure with a Dragon Models DML 12-inch figure instead and I like the new look ;) Check out my earlier post on the 1:6 scale Captain Action Green Hornet figure HERE

This is a repost of a January 2011 entry from my toy blog reviewing the Captain Action Green Hornet set by switching out the original 12-inch body with a Dragon Models Limited (DML) body.

Kaustic Plastik's New 1/6th scale Scottish Warrior is 12-inch Connor MacLeod from Highlander

"There can be only one"

Highlander is a 1986 British-American epic adventure action fantasy film directed by Russell Mulcahy and based on a story by Gregory Widen. It stars Christopher Lambert, Sean Connery, Clancy Brown, and Roxanne Hart. The film narrates the climax of an ages-old battle between immortal warriors, depicted through interwoven past- and present-day storylines.

Christopher Lambert plays swordsman Connor MacLeod from Scottish Highlands, known as the Highlander, one of a number of immortal warriors, who can only be killed by decapitation. After initial training by another highly skilled immortal swordsman, the Spaniard Ramirez (Sean Connery), MacLeod lives on for several centuries, eventually settling in New York City, managing an antiques shop. In 1985, he falls in love with a policewoman named Brenda and finds out that he must face his biggest enemy, Clancy Brown's Kurgan, who wishes to kill MacLeod and to obtain "the Prize"—a special ability which is given to the last living immortal warrior, vast knowledge and the ability to enslave the entire human race.

Check out this upcoming release by Kaustic Plastik, a 1/6th scale Scottish Lord of the Scottish Highlanders, circa 1500 A.D. who looks a lot like Christopher Lambert's Connor MacLeod from Highlander. Remember his famous intro: "I am Connor MacLeod of the Clan MacLeod. I was born in 1518 in the village of Glenfinnan on the shores of Loch Shiel. And I am immortal."?

Square Enix Play Arts KAI DC Comics Variant "Batman: Rogues Gallery" 1/7th Mr Freeze figure

First there was Two-face Batman (see the toy blog post HERE). Then there was Joker Batman (preview pics HERE). Now, chill out with the Mr Freeze Batman mashup brought to you by Square Enix

The Square Enix Play Arts KAI DC Comics Variant "Batman: Rogues Gallery" Mr Freeze figure is not quite 1/6th scale (more like 1/7th scale), but it’s still quite big / tall at around 11.5 inches, so it's able to have all the intricate details worked in which is one of the reasons why I always like my action figures to be 1/6th scale.

Since this figure is part of the Play Arts Kai line, you can expect quite a bit of articulation for nice poses. Square Enix Play Arts KAI DC Comics Variant "Batman: Rogues Gallery" 1/7 Mr Freeze figure will come with three pairs of interchangeable hands, a frozen batarang, and a Freeze Gun with cord to attach to his Freeze tank. These figures don't come cheap though :( Based on the prices for the other two figures already released or on pre-order, this Mr Freeze-Batman figure should also be around USD$199.99. The figure’s not up for pre-order yet (it should be soon), but as of now, you can expect to see the Mr Freeze Batman action figure around April 2017.

Hot Toys Star Wars Rogue One 1/6th scale Death Trooper (Specialist) Collectible Figure Review II

continued from previous toy blog post (action figure review 1)...

This is the Hot Toys MMS385 Star Wars Rogue One 1/6th scale Death Trooper (Specialist) 32cm tall Collectible Figure with LED light-up function. The batteries are inserted after removing the top of the helmet which is held via magnets, pretty neat and hassle-free - see the instructions posted HERE. The only thing that lights up are the tiny green lights on the helmet which is rather insignificant and doesn't really do much for the figure nor enhance its look in any way :( The upcoming Hot Toys MMS399 Star Wars Rogue One 1/6th scale Death Trooper Specialist (Deluxe Version) Collectible Figure will have an additional light-up scope located on the left side of the helmet (see the preview pics HERE) which will add a little more purpose for the lights.

The lights don't do as much for the figure as Iron Man (compare these pics with the LED light-up features found on the Hot Toys MMS300-D11 Movie Masterpiece Series Die-cast "Avengers: Age of Ultron" 1/6th scale Iron Man Mark XLV Collectible Figure posted HERE). With Iron Man, you feel that the lights are an integral part of the figure but less so with this Death Trooper. In the end though, most of us will pose these figures sans the lights (including Iron Man or other more lighted-up figures) because keeping the lights on means leaving the batteries in the figure and that can cause some serious damage when the batteries leak - see "Hot Toy Collecting Tip #1: Remove ALL Batteries!" posted HERE. The light-up feature is pretty much a sales gimmick and a ploy to ask for more money for a figure because you have to pay for the fancy electronics that is built into the figure. I'm a sucker for that since I have bought some of these electronic light-up figures but that's only because Hot Toys won't sell me one without the special features and I really do want the figure. I like the quality of Hot Toys figures and will continue to buy the ones I really fancy which is less these days considering the higher asking prices. In the end, they are not only much more FUN and beautiful to gaze at but they are also still much cheaper then the even higher priced cast-in-stone static statues which have zero articulation and almost no accessories as everything is moulded as one piece and displayed as such, an immovable unposeable frozen piece of stone. I guess that means I like plastic more than stone and am not a fan of Frozen LOL

Review 1: Hot Toys Star Wars Rogue One 1/6th Death Trooper (Specialist) Collectible Figure

continued from previous toy blog post...

I think this is the first time Hot Toys has released a figure before the movie even comes out. Usually we get a glimpse or preview of the upcoming figure when the movie is released. Then we can pre-order the figure and wait for the figure to be produced and shipped. The actual shipment mostly happens way after the movie has come out and maybe at the time when the Blu-ray or DVDs are released. So this is really a first and quite a nice surprise it is.

What spoiled it was the announcement by Hot Toys of the upcoming Hot Toys MMS399 Star Wars Rogue One 1/6th scale Death Trooper Specialist (Deluxe Version) Collectible Figure just days before I received this figure. The Deluxe Version Collectible Figure's helmet will include an additional light-up scope located on the left side of the helmet, a different weapon (Special Forces DLT-19 long-range blaster rifle) and Stormtrooper doll plus Specially sculpted diorama figure base, all missing from this recently released MMS385 1/6th scale Death Trooper (Specialist) Collectible Figure. It might have been nice to be given a choice to choose but since this Death Trooper (Specialist) Collectible Figure was put on pre-order way before we even knew about the Deluxe Version (although I'm quite sure Hot Toys knew about their plans to release a deluxe version but chose to keep mum about it), it seems many of us feel like we got royally screwed. But still, No regrets on getting this figure. The quality is there and it still looks really good on its own. The craftsmanship and detailing are top notch and of museum quality, a far cry from the Hasbro toy figures we used to see many many years ago. Sure we have to pay top dollar for these but the overall look and quality makes it all worth it.
