Kumik 1/6th scale Chloë Grace Moretz head sculpt Review - not a bad sculpt at all :)
Chloë Grace Moretz is an American actress and model. She began her acting career in 2004 at age seven, and received her first award nomination the following year for The Amityville Horror. Her other film credits include (500) Days of Summer, The Poker House, Diary of a Wimpy Kid, Kick-Ass and Kick-Ass 2, Let Me In, Hugo, Dark Shadows, Carrie, If I Stay, The Equalizer, and The 5th Wave. Moretz provided the voice of Hit-Girl for Kick-Ass: The Game and Emily Kaldwin in Dishonored.
Chloë Grace Moretz really stood out for me in the 2010 British-American superhero black comedy film Kick-Ass. As 11-year-old Mindy Macready, she fights crime as the ruthless vigilante Hit-Girl alongside her father Big Daddy (Nicolas Cage), a former cop who intends to bring down the crime boss Frank D'Amico (Mark Strong) and his son (Christopher Mintz-Plasse) (Red Mist).
This is the Kumik 1/6th scale Chloë Grace Moretz head sculpt with rooted hair which I got recently. I don't have an appropriate body type for this head so I chose the Brother Production Zombie Killer "Alice" 12-inch figure body for this photo shoot. I had reviewed this Brother Production 1/6th scale Zombie Killer "Alice" figure some time back - see the action figure review posted on my toy blog HERE. I also have pictures of the Hot Toys Movie Masterpiece Series MMS139 "Resident Evil: Afterlife" 1/6 scale Alice head sculpt on this body as well - see the pics HERE.

COOMODEL 1/6th scale Series of Empires Die-cast Gothic Knight 12" figure + Armored horse
In 1066 AD the Normans (people who came from Normandy in Europe) conquered England and introduced feudalism in England. Feudalism was a system of contract where society was divided into four classes: royalty, barons (noblemen) and bishops, knights (a title or a rank) and lastly peasants. Merchants and artisans were placed just above the peasants. From 1066 to about the 14th century, feudalism developed across Europe. There were no professional armies at that time like we have today. Every man who was called upon was expected to follow his king in battle. The king granted land to these knights. A knighthood was obtained either by birth into a noble family or through bravery in battle.
The knight was an important fighter and had to know two basic skills: how to fight and how to ride a horse. A knights’ armour consisted of heavy steel plates to cover his body, a heavy helmet and a shirt of mail (finely intertwined metal rings set very close to each other). The knight also wore gloves, leggings and shoes of mail or metal.
COOMODEL SE013 1/6th scale Series of Empires (Die-cast Alloy) Gothic Knight (Exclusive Edition) 12-inch Collectible Figure specially features: head sculpt, body, Eight (8) pieces of interchangeable palms (A couple of bare fists and open palms,and a couple of open palms and weapon holding hands in silver armor)

FLAGSET 1/6th scale The Masked Mercenaries 2.0 12-inch action figure aka Army of Two Bravo
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. The game takes place in Mexico and pits T.W.O. against a ruthless drug cartel known as La Guadaña (Spanish for "the Scythe"). 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.

A look at National Service through the years
National Service in Singapore, (commonly known as NS), is a statutory requirement for all male Singaporean citizens and second-generation permanent residents to undergo a period of compulsory service in the uniformed services. Depending on physical and medical fitness, they serve a two-year period as National Servicemen Full-time (NSFs), either in the Singapore Armed Forces (SAF), Singapore Police Force (SPF), or the Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF). A 2-month reduction in full-time National Service is given for pre-enlistees who are able to pass their National Physical Fitness Award (NAPFA).
The majority of NSFs serve in the SAF, as part of the Army. The reasons for this include the relative manpower needs of the Army compared to the Navy and Air Force, the SPF, and SCDF. Moreover, as compared to the Army, the Air Force (RSAF) and Navy (RSN) are smaller armed services composed primarily of regular servicemen.
National service has been a key component of Singapore’s nation-building journey since its inception. This national duty ensures that Singapore has a strong and ready military force to defend itself should the need arise.
This year marks the 50th year of national service in Singapore. To commemorate it, The Straits Times look briefly at the history of national service and how individual soldier equipment has evolved.

The sky's the limit: FLAGSET 1/6th scale Chinese PLA Airforce Female Aviator 12" figure
Pre-order from BBTS (link HERE)
The People’s Liberation Army Air Force (PLAAF) is the aerial warfare service branch of the Chinese armed forces, responsible for defending the country’s airspace, supporting ground and naval forces, air interdiction, and aerial transport and reconnaissance. The air force currently consists of approximately 330,000 personnel and over 2,500 aircraft, including 1,500 combat aircraft. This makes the PLAAF the largest air force in size in Asia, and the third largest in the world, after the United States Air Force and Russian Air Force.
This is an upcoming release: FLAGSET (FS-73006) 1/6th scale Chinese PLA Airforce Female Aviator 12-inch figure. We don't see a lot of pilot figures, let alone a female pilot figure. This set certainly looks interesting and might appeal a lot to collectors of pilot figures.

And in The Straits Times today: It's a small, small world - miniature modelling by Singaporeans
The art of miniature modelling may seem like a niche interest, but more and more hobbyists here are turning their passion into a growing business - either as a profitable sideline or a full-time profession. Unique collectables like mossariums and food sculptures may catch the eye of the younger set, while the more traditional scale models are still highly sought after by collectors. The Straits Times executive photojournalist Desmond Foo looks at the work of some hobbyists.
Full report can be found at The Straits Times HERE
Mr Calvin Tan, 41, is not only a World War II buff but also a world-renowned miniature figure sculptor and painter. The winner of many overseas awards is also an author and recently produced a video on the art of miniature figure painting. It can take him a few months to complete a hyper realistic figure, but one measuring a mere 5cm in height, sculpted with epoxy putty and then painted, can command a few thousand dollars. They come predominantly in three scales – 1/9, 1/16 and 1/35. Having completed over 200 since he first ventured into scale modelling at the age of 13, he is now focused solely on finishing his private collection. Mr Tan, who is married and has two children, is a department chair and senior lecturer at DigiPen Singapore.

Mystical Forge Fairy Tale Classics 1/6th scale Snow Storm 12-inch figure outfit set preview pics
Story so far...
It has been three weeks since they last saw the evil queen’s assassins. They had entered the misty mountains to lose them and within the mountains they began to train for the inevitable battle to come. The Huntsman insisted that the Princess used her agility to her advantage as he taught her how to use the blade. Tired as she was, she began donning the light magical battle armour crafted by the ancient dwarves. She was soon overcomed by fatigue and started to fall asleep to the soothing sounds of the crackling fire.
In the distance, the footsteps approached, silently but deadly...
Mystical Forge MF-003 Fairy Tale Classics 1/6th scale Snow Storm 12-inch figure outfit set will come with: Head band with red ribbon, Chest armour, Shoulder armour, Arm bangle, Gauntlet sleeve x 2, Gauntlet x 2, Ornamental waist belt, Leather belt with front / back yellow loincloth, Underwear, Leg armour sleeve x 2, Leg armour x 2, Sandals, Battle sword, Apple.

Check out Mezco Toys One: 12 Collective (1/12th scale) Batman: Ascending Knight action figure
Pre-order from BBTS (link HERE)
Mezco's One: 12 Collective are doing something a little different with their Batman - Ascending Knight 1:12 scale (6-inch) action figure. They're looking back to the past, to the original Batman of the comics from the 40s, when his ears were longer, his cowl was shaped differently, his gadgets were a little rougher and unrefined. He, in fact, was a knight ascendant and not the super-buff superhero you see today.
Every Knight has a beginning and the One:12 Collective’s Batman starts here. Batman—Ascending Knight is part of a trilogy: A beginning, a middle and an end. The Ascending Knight is Batman in his first year; designed to be contemporary but still have a first appearance feel.
This is the Batman of 10 years ago, as he just began his war on crime. At the start of his crime-fighting career Bruce Wayne is still working things out, finding what works and what doesn't. Some of his tech and gear is still a bit unfinished and raw. His Bat Suit is bulky, showing that he has not yet fine-tuned it. Of course the design pays homage to Batman as he first appeared in Detective Comics. The shape of his cowl, the shorter gloves and the smaller symbol on his chest are all inspired by his original debut in the comics.

Tarkin saw the Death Star as a way to crush all dissent to the Empire's rule with the fear of the station's planet-killing superlaser and made a terrifying demonstration of the station’s power by destroying Alderaan in front of Princess Leia’s eyes.
Today Hot Toys is very excited to officially present the highly anticipated 1/6th scale collectible figure of Grand Moff Tarkin from Star Wars: A New Hope!
Meticulously crafted based on the appearance of Grand Moff Tarkin in Star Wars: A New Hope, the figure features a newly developed head sculpt with phenomenal likeness, a finely tailored Imperial uniform, Grand Moff Tarkin’s high back chair, and a specially designed figure base.

Arriving in New York for a brief stopover, he might have come and gone without incident, were it not for a No-Maj (American for Muggle) named Jacob, a misplaced magical case, and the escape of some of Newt's fantastic beasts, which could spell trouble for both the wizarding and No-Maj worlds.
The Wizarding World of Harry Potter got an extension beyond the original books and movies with the new film series “Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them” featuring the magizoologist Newt Scamander.

Studio Sundowner Advent of Marvelous League #3 1/6th scale Makora female figure preview
Pre-order from BBTS (link HERE)
continued from previous toy blog post...
As one of the 12 holy generals under the banner of Genesis, given that General Mao is so powerful that she could not control herself, Genesis decided to split her in half to balance her power, thus creating Makora and Mahoraga. The weapon of Pangu Axe that was possessed by General Mao was also split into Yaksha Blade and God Killer Hammer.

Her weapon is God Killer Hammer, when Makora and Mahoraga strike together, the Yaksha Blade and God Killer Hammer they each possess can be combined into the Pangu Axe, thus demonstrating its apocalyptic destructive power.

GOD COMPLEX gets the comic book treatment
Writers Paul Jenkins (Inhumans, Wolverine: Origin) and Bryan Lie team up with artist Hendry Prasetya (Mighty Morphin’ Power Rangers) for an all-new mystery thriller in GOD COMPLEX, an ongoing series launching from Image / Top Cow this October.
GOD COMPLEX is set in the futuristic city of Delphi where a young digital-forensics investigator named Seneca finds himself embroiled in the bizarre murders of three church acolytes. Guided by his cryptic mentor, the Ruler named Hermes, Seneca uncovers a stunning conspiracy and a mystery that will turn his entire world upside down.
Join the GOD COMPLEX team on a unique vision of a digital future powered by mythological gods. GOD COMPLEX is the first original toy line-up from Jakarta-based GLITCH. It features sci-fi and high-fashion re-imaginings of mythological gods from various beliefs / regions like Greek, Egypt, China, and Japan.
GOD COMPLEX is created by Bryan Lie, who is GLITCH co-Founder and CEO. GLITCH is bringing the IP to worldwide attention, collaborating with Top Cow Productions to publish the comics to tell the rich stories behind characters and the GOD COMPLEX universe. The first comic is GOD COMPLEX: DOGMA and questions the nature of gods, religion, truth, and human faith, set in age of misinformation and post-truth.
I received this FoxBox Studio 1/6th scale "God Complex: Hermes" 12-inch figure back in October 2011 (see the action figure review posted on my toy blog HERE and HERE) and its blend of high fashion with mythical and sci-fi elements is still very refreshing up to this day :) I never tire of looking at the figure and marvel at the wonderful and clever design of Bryan Lie. Great to hear that GOD COMPLEX will be a comic book series soon.

Prime 1 Studio "Batman: Arkham Origins" 31" Tall Batman Extreme Environment XE Suit Pre-order
Pre-order
I am sorry Victor. I can’t give you peace but I can give you justice!"
Sideshow and Prime 1 Studio are proud to present the Batman Extreme Environment Suit (XE Suit) from Batman: Arkham Origins (Cold, Cold Heart DLC). Batman started out using the Arkham Origins Batsuit but switched to the XE Suit after he realized that he needed a more armored Batsuit to take on the likes of Mister Freeze. It had heating on some of the areas of the suit, it was armed with Thermal Gloves. This special version of his Batsuit not only offered him greater protection but also allowed him to take Mr. Freeze head on as the suit was able to withstand the extreme temperature and break the ice he was able to create. A perfect duo with the Mr. Freeze from Batman: Arkham Origins.
This is the only suit Batman wears in the Arkham series that completely covers up Batman's face. It also is the only suit to change his voice, as a oxygen tank is needed for Batman to breathe (presumably to use in the event Batman was trapped underwater and/or in extreme temperatures). This makes Batman sound more robotic, and more like an underwater diver.
Batman XE Suit Statue features: Size approximately 31 inches tall.
