ToyHaven 3 – Work-In-Progress Report Part 2

continued from previous toy blog post...

I am most happy to report that the customised 98.5" L x 84" H x 19.25" D (2500mm L x 2134mm H x 495mm D) full glass display shelf which will be the centre piece of my new place (ToyHaven3) is coming along nicely :) Lots of stuff to put in and I'm not even halfway there yet LOL

The plan is to display Hot Toys Movie Masterpiece Series 1/6th scale figures because of the high quality finishing and superbly crafted pieces and it's going to take a while to get organised and choose which figures to display up front and which ones to be behind. The great thing about it being all glass is that I can also choose to display them back to back so that they face out on both sides. Still thinking about the many possibilities for display.

"It's them! Blast them!" Review of Bandai 1/6th scale Star Wars Stormtrooper Model Kit

This was part of my January 2017 haul posted on my toy blog HERE

When I first found out about this Bandai 1/6th scale Star Wars Stormtrooper Plastic Model Kit, I was most intrigued. I've done plastic model kits in the past but they were mostly of vehicles (planes and automobiles) and robots (Gundam and Zaku, posted HERE and HERE respectively) so I was really keen to see how Bandai would make this Stormtrooper Plastic Model Kit work. After the experience of putting this figure together, I am most impressed and convinced that this can work. This 1/6th scale Stormtrooper is 305mm tall, highly detailed and Bandai went about solving some of the issues pretty well, such as the placement of the two Blast Energy Sinks which has always been a problem with the Stormtroopers. The lens for the helmet is actually dark green translucent plastic and not hard opaque plastic painted green. The entire Stormtrooper armor is made of a shiny white plastic which is more movie accurate as opposed to the dull white of other 12-inch Stormtroopers. Although everything has to be assembled, no glue was required and every part connected easily and stayed connected without any problems. It was really quite a breeze putting this Stormtrooper together as the instructions were very clear, even though the text was in Japanese. The illustrations were so accurate I didn't need to know Japanese to interpret the assembly instructions.

I had bought two of these Stormtrooper Model Kits as I was quietly confident that this could work. Also one Stormtrooper is never enough when you want to build an army, PLUS two of these cost less than one Hot Toys figure :) Can't wait to get started on the second Stormtrooper. In the pictures posted in this review, I haven't put in the decals yet as I was excited to show off this newest addition to the ever growing Stormtrooper army.

"Shiver me timbers" – XD TOYS 1/6th Scale Captain of Octopus Action Figure is Davy Jones

Pre-order XD TOYS XD001 1/6th Scale Captain of Octopus Action Figure from KGHobby Toys HERE

Davy Jones is a fictional villain character in the Pirates of the Caribbean feature film series, who first appears in the second film, Dead Man's Chest and returns in the series' third instalment, At World's End. He is the captain of the Flying Dutchman (based on the feared ghost ship of the same name featured in nautical lore), roaming the seas in search of souls to serve upon his vessel for a century.

The character is based on the legendary devil of the seas with the same name, according to superstition among sailors in the 18th and 19th centuries. In contrast to the historical legends, the film's Jones is a tragic villain. However, even though starting off from a sympathetic backstory, his portrayal in the films is cruel and ruthless, with actor Bill Nighy's performance a subject of critical praise as well.

The computer-generated imagery used to complete Jones was highly praised, with Entertainment Weekly naming him as the second most convincing computer generated film character in film history, only behind King Kong from the 2005 film adaptation. The work on Davy Jones by Industrial Light and Magic earned them the 2006 Academy Award for Visual Effects for Dead Man's Chest.

Hot Toys had released a Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End 1/6th scale Davy Jones Collectible Figure many years ago and I had posted an action figure review of the limited edition figure on my toy blog HERE but this is a new release by a different company, XD Toys.

ToyHaven 3 – Work-In-Progress Report Part 1

At first there was ToyHaven 1 (check out the toy blog post HERE from 2008).

Then there was ToyHaven 2, the last place I stayed in before the big move last year. You can see the post HERE and HERE.

Very soon ToyHaven 3 will be ready...

The setting up is going to take a while. It's easier to have empty shelves waiting to be filled than to have limited display space and trying to cut down on the contents to be displayed. That means a lot of stuff have to go and choosing which ones to put away is not easy haha

Anyway, here are some of the work-in-progress pictures. The centre piece of the new place will be the custom-made 98.5" L x 84" H x 19.25" D (2500mm L x 2134mm H x 495mm D) full glass display shelf which would allow me to display a variety of figures and collectibles :)

1000toys TOA Heavy Industries 1/6th scale Synthetic Human 12-inch action figure Review II

continued from previous toy blog post HERE...

Here are some more pictures I took of the recently re-released 1000toys TOA Heavy Industries 1/6th scale Synthetic Human action figure. Besides putting this 12-inch action figure review under the Anime / Manga label because to me he looks very much inspired by that particular genre and would stand quite well beside Appleseed's Deunan Knute and Briareos Hecatonchires (check out my reviews posted HERE and HERE) or even Ghost in a Shell's Motoko Kusanagi (Medicom 1:6 scale version reviewed HERE), I also categorized him under the Kitbash label as all 12-inch figures are great for kitbashing and this is one more figure that can be added to the list of body types available.

In these pictures, I have the 1000toys TOA Heavy Industries 1/6th scale Synthetic Human 12-inch action figure holding the 1/6th scale Luke Skywalker light-up lightsaber which was reviewed earlier HERE as part of my January 2017 haul. The white skin does remind one of Asajj Ventress, a Dark Jedi who appeared in the "Star Wars: Clone Wars" cartoon (and the 12-inch version was reviewed on this toy blog earlier HERE).

Check out Square Enix Play Arts Kai Marvel Comics Variant 1/7th scale Wolverine figure

Pre-order Square Enix Marvel Universe Variant Play Arts Kai Wolverine Figure at BBTS (link HERE)

Armed with sharp claws made of adamantium, the hardest metal in the world, and a healing factor that allows for superhuman recovery, X-Men hero Wolverine enters the Square Enix Play Arts Kai Marvel Variant Series! Painstaking attention to textural detail can be seen in this Wolverine's costume and burly physique, from the hard surfaces of the armor, to the organic feel of the skin, down to the bulging veins in his arms. Shadows are painted in to highlight the molded features, while the paint, chipped here and there off his armor, hints at the many battles in his past.

In addition to the interchangeable hands and head, a Japanese katana adds to the variety of poseable actions. Figure includes display stand. Figure Size: Approx. W 4.5" x D 2.1" x H 9.9"

In 1975, Wolverine began as a loner with a shadowy past, and whatever character he had was mostly Canadian caricature. He loved beer and fighting; he dropped his g's and called people "Bub." With a superhuman healing factor, super senses, a skeleton reinforced with metal and retractable claws made of adamantium, he embodied every tough-guy cliché in pulp fiction: hints of dark deeds committed years ago that are better forgotten, a penchant for berserker rages, a love of cowboy hats and fringed leather jackets, a Clint Eastwood-style cigarillo, baroque facial hair, a motorcycle, and some of the corniest street dialogue this side of the Bowery Boys. (quoted from "I Heart Wolverine. How a ridiculous Canadian mutant conquered the world." by Grady Hendrix - full article HERE)

WOLFKING Western Story 1:6 scale Red Head Danny 12-inch action figure - smoke not included

This WOLFKING Western Story 1:6 scale Red Head Danny 12-inch wild west action figure has a rather strong anime vibe to it. I can't put my finger on it but I keep thinking I've seen this character before or he looks very similar to another cartoon / anime or manga character. Perhaps he reminds me a little of Daisuke Jigen, a fictional character created by Monkey Punch for his manga series Lupin III, which debuted in Weekly Manga Action on August 10, 1967. Jigen is the trigger man, sharpshooter, aide-de-camp and close friend of Arsène Lupin III. Another reason is the ridiculous looking revolvers with the huge barrels and the super pointy cowboy boots, all of which can only be anime / manga inspired.

WOLFKING Western Story 1:6 scale Red Head Danny 12-inch action figure will come with: Head sculpt, Action body, 3 pairs of interchangeable hands, Shirt, Jeans, Scarf, Waistcoat, Bracer x2, Leather belt, Leggings, Leather shoes, Lighter, Lighter sleeve, Cigar, Shotgun, Revolver x2, Holster x2, Dagger, Knife pouch. Smoke is not included. You'll see a lot of it in the pictures but it's not provided :p And by the way, which cowboy doesn't wear a hat?

Review 1: 1000toys TOA Heavy Industries 1/6th scale Synthetic Human 12-inch action figure

This was part of my January 2017 haul (posted earlier on my toy blog HERE)

Since coming across this 1000toys TOA Heavy Industries 1/6th scale Synthetic Human action figure some time back, I've been keen to get my hands on this figure but not for the price they were asking for on the after sales market which was quite high, being the usual over inflated price after the figure hits the secondary market where demand exceeds the limited supply. So I was most glad when TOA Heavy Industries said that they were bringing back this much wanted Synthetic Human at the reasonable asking price of USD150 including shipping.

So I didn't hesitate to put my pre-order in but the arrival of this figure certainly took a while. Estimated to ship in September 2016, it turned into a three-month wait as the factory ran into difficulty due to unforeseen circumstances (earthquake happened! That'll do quite some damage to any scheduling you might have planned). But it finally arrived and here are the pictures I took of the 1000toys TOA Heavy Industries 1/6th scale Synthetic Human 12-inch action figure.

I categorized him under the "Anime / Manga" label as that's what I see when I look at this 1000toys TOA Heavy Industries 1/6th scale Synthetic Human 12-inch action figure. Images of manga inspired anime from the likes of Ghost in a Shell and other Japanese animated stories spring immediately to my mind. I also get the "I, Robot" and "A.I." vibes from this figure. The wife mentioned Westworld which also has some relevance. This 1000toys TOA Heavy Industries 1/6th scale Synthetic Human figure has a very good range of articulation, quite on par with the recently released Phicen 1/6th scale Super-Flexible Male Seamless Bodies (PL2015-M30 reviewed earlier on my toy blog HERE and PL2015-M31, reviewed HERE and HERE)

Super Duck 1/6th scale Female Hero Outfit Set: What if Captain America was a female warrior?

Pre-order SUPER DUCK C019 1/6 Scale Captain Female Costume Set from KGHobby Toys HERE

What if Captain America was a female warrior? Imagine a world where instead of Wonder Woman, you get a female Captain America. How would she dress? The designers at Super Duck thinks Lady Captain America would look like this. My question is: Why would she wear so little clothes into battle? She would still look sexy if she was fully clothed. But then, maybe they won't be able to sell so many comic books. If you were to imagine Wonder Woman wearing this outfit instead, then it's about right. The colors are different but the look and style is pretty much the same. This looks like a Wonder Woman Captain America mashup.

Super Duck 1/6th scale Female Hero Outfit Set Features: - Leotard - Corset - Pistol - Magazine - Shoulder Holster - Shield - Gloved Hand Assortment - Boot / Feet. NOTE: Head sculpt and body not included (display only).

Review of Bandai Online Shop Exclusive 27-inch tall Star Wars AT-AT Multi Stand Desk Organizer

continued from previous toy blog post...

For me, one of the most memorable scenes of Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back was the introduction of the All Terrain Armored Transport Imperial Walkers at the battle of Hoth, when the mechanical behemoths appeared over the horizon and began their assault on the rebel base.

The AT-AT Multi Stand from Bandai is a 1/72 scale replica of the All Terrain Armored Transport Imperial Walkers from Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back Hoth battle scene, and it features plenty of hidden compartments (such as a pen holder, coin slot for coin bank, paper clip and tape holders, plus a cable organizer at the legs) that are ideal for holding all of the odds and ends that clutter up your desk. The iconic vehicle from the Galactic Empire has been shrunken to fit on your desk, and the AT-AT Multi Stand desk organizer helps you manage your scattered accessories. That's what I tell the missus but the truth is, it's just too cool not to have one. I don't care if I ever put anything in it, I just WANT it and now that i have it, I'm really lovin' it!

The Bandai Online Shop Exclusive Star Wars AT-AT Multi Stand Desk Organizer measures 268 mm (10.6-inch) tall, 312 mm (12.3-inch) long and 130mm (5.1 inches) wide. It also comes with a Snowspeeder replica measuring 73 x 24 x 65mm, and you can recreate that classic scene where Luke Skywalker pilots his Snowspeeder against the Imperial walkers during the Battle of Hoth. That's what this is all about. Forget the storage containers and what not. They aren't the reasons why I got this beauty. It's a nicely detailed 1/72 scale AT-AT with Snowspeeder! What other reasons do I need to convince me to get this?

January 2017 Haul: Bandai Online Shop Exclusive Star Wars AT-AT Multi-Stand, Bandai Star Wars 1/6th scale Stormtrooper Model Kit and 1/6th scale light-up Luke lightsaber

The new year brings new beginnings, especially for me. 2016 ended with me moving to a newer and smaller place which means I have to get rid of a lot of my figures. Some of these figures have been with me since 1994 when I first started on my toy collecting journey. The collection has grown over the years and I've certainly amassed quite a collection over 22 years. But it's time to take stock and trim down the collection to those that I really want and those that I can do without. So I will be selling most of the stuff I have this year. That being said, I've not stopped collecting because I still love this hobby and all the new and nice stuff that are being produced and released. I'll just be collecting less while getting rid of more.

So what did I get for January 2017? There's the Bandai Online Shop Exclusive Star Wars AT-AT Multi-Stand Desk Organizer, Bandai Star Wars 1/6th scale Stormtrooper Plastic Model Kit and 1/6th scale light-up lightsaber that belongs to Luke Skywalker. The Stormtrooper Plastic Model Kit is a fraction of the price of any other 1/6th scale Stormtroopers out there and I just wanted to see for myself how the figure looks when put together. Judging by the prototype pictures, this Stormtrooper model kit looks like it's worth a shot (pun intended).

Preview pics of Toys Era 1/6th scale The Steel aka Colossus as seen in the 2016 film Deadpool

Pre-order Toys Era TE015 1/6 The Steel Collectible Figure from KGHobby Toys HERE

Colossus (Piotr Nikolaievitch Rasputin) is a fictional superhero appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. Created by writer Len Wein and illustrator Dave Cockrum, he first appeared in Giant-Size X-Men #1 (May 1975). A Russian mutant, he is a member of the X-Men. Able to transform himself into metallic form, he is by far the physically strongest of the team. Even when his powers are not engaged, he is a physically imposing figure of 6 ft 7 in (200 cm). He is portrayed as quiet, honest and virtuous. He has had a fairly consistent presence in X-Men-related comic books since his debut. A talented artist, he only reluctantly agrees to use his powers in combat, feeling it is his responsibility to use his abilities for the betterment of human- and mutant-kind.

Actor Daniel Cudmore portrayed Colossus in X2, X-Men: The Last Stand, and X-Men: Days of Future Past, and Stefan Kapičić provided the voice of a CGI Colossus in the 2016 film Deadpool. In the film, he tries to recruit Deadpool into the X-Men while teaching him the morality of being a superhero alongside his X-Men trainee Negasonic Teenage Warhead.

Toys Era has released these preview pics of their 1/6th scale The Steel aka Colossus as seen in the 2016 film Deadpool. It looks like Toys Era intends to release as many X-Men figures as they can.
