Star Wars: The Last Jedi Divides + Hot Toys 1/6th scale The Force Awakens Rey action figure

This article appeared in the print edition of The Sunday Times on December 31, 2017.

There is a disturbance in the Force - and it is caused by the latest Star Wars movie, The Last Jedi, possibly the most divisive instalment in the intergalactic franchise. Basically, hardcore Star Wars fans hate it. And the reviewers love it. And so the lightsabers are out. Some viewers are so riled up that more than 50,000 of them signed an online petition to Disney to strike "the travesty" entirely from the Star Wars canon.

But critics are raving about the film. Some reviewers, such as those from news sites Vox and eFilmCritic.com, are even calling it one of the best Star Wars movies of all time. The backlash has received such a high profile that the people behind the film have also weighed in on the issue.

The movie's director, Rian Johnson (Looper, 2012), saw the chatter as a good way to talk about where Star Wars would go in the future. He tweeted: "The goal is never to divide or make people upset, but I do think the conversations that are happening were going to have to happen at some point if Star Wars is going to grow, move forward and stay vital."

Who has the last word on The Last Jedi? The box office, of course. The movie, despite controversy, has been dominating box offices worldwide since its release in cinemas two weeks ago. It is on track to cross the coveted US$1-billion (S$1.34-billion) mark in time for the new year, say analysts.

Haul for December 2017: Hot Toys Guardians of the Galaxy Rocket and Arkham Knight Batman

Ending the year with a BANG!

This is my latest and probably last haul of 2017 after my Christmas haul which was posted earlier HERE. This time round, I got the Hot Toys MMS411 Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 1/6th scale Rocket Collectible Figure (Deluxe Version) and Hot Toys VGM26 Batman: Arkham Knight 1/6th scale Batman Collectible Figure. I almost said, a BAT and a RAT but raccoons do not belong to the rodent family.

IMHO I always find that Hot Toys usually does a better job of sculpts the second time around. It's like they need the first one as a trial / practice before getting it right the second time. That's why I didn't get the Hot Toys Avengers figures until Age of Ultron. By then, Hot Toys was very good at capturing the likenesses of the actors who portray the heroes in the film. I think the 1/6th scale Chris Hemsworth as Thor head sculpt for "Avengers: Age of Ultron" is one of the best by far (see the pics and full action figure review posted on my toy blog HERE and HERE). Hot Toys "Avengers: Age of Ultron" 1/6th scale Hawkeye Collectible Figure also has a great sculpt of Jeremy Renner as Clint Barton / Hawkeye (pics HERE and HERE) compared to the Avengers version. That said, I'm putting my money on the Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 figures by Hot Toys because I think they'll look much better than the first versions which is why I got Rocket. You don't really need a good sculpt of Rocket (he's a raccoon) but he is part of the group and I've already pre-ordered Star-Lord and Yondu while waiting for Gamora and Drax.

As for Batman, he is the dark knight and one of the reasons why I got into collecting action figures. He's the new addition to the ever growing Batman collection. Check out the various 1/6th scale Batman figures I have posted HERE with comparison pictures as well as group pictures.

Devil Toys introduces World of Order WOO in Pocket 1/18th scale series wave 1 troopers

"Captain,shall we begin the mop up operation?"

Secret Trooper is ready for the war with combining the high powered handguns and automatic rifles which is the latest advancement in military technology of the organization, Providence.

"Theoretically, the operation should be done this way, but I don't think we can get it done this time. We better hurry and wrap things up then get back to investigate." Secret Master ran back to the smoke filled enemy camp alone after briefing his brothers in arms.

It is the year 2049, it has been 10 years since last great war. The state of the world is gradually moving toward extremes. The United States was severely traumatized by a nuclear bomb attack. The EU, led by Germany, have been split up into different forces due to repeated terror attacks and continued to experience varying degrees of fragmented battles. Eastern Japan, which is located in the east, was even more damaged by "that weapon."

With the excessive consumption of energy by countries and the escalating disputes among nations, the Third World War seems inevitable. Nine months after the "New York incident," the U.S. government paid a very large fee and privately hired Providence to send a 211-team headed by Secret Master to hunt for John, a genius hacker who caused a series of terrorist attacks around the world.

Toyscity 1/6th scale WWII German WH Infantry Private Set, Poland 1939 for 12-inch action figure

Important Note: This product is for military collectors & historic education purposes only, and it is not intended to glorify nor exploit the horrors and atrocities of war.

The Wehrmacht was the unified armed forces of Nazi Germany from 1935 to 1946. It consisted of the Heer (army), the Kriegsmarine (navy) and the Luftwaffe (air force). After the Nazi seizure of power in 1933, one of Adolf Hitler's most overt and audacious moves was to establish the Wehrmacht, a modern armed force fully capable of offensive use. Fulfilling the Nazi regime's long-term goals of regaining lost territory and dominating its neighbours required the reinstatement of conscription and massive investment and spending on the armaments industry.

The Invasion of Poland, was a joint invasion of Poland by Nazi Germany, the Soviet Union, the Free City of Danzig, and a small Slovak contingent, that marked the beginning of World War II.

Toyscity 1/6th scale WWII German WH Infantry Private Set, Poland 1939 will come with M35 Helmet with WH sign, M36 Uniform for WH Private, Leather-like boots, WH Equipment Belt, Gas Cape Pouch, M38 Gas Mask Can, Bread Bag, Water Bottle, Field Canteen, Shovel, Bayonet, Kar 98k Rifle, Kar 98k Ammunition Pouch x2, M35 Backpack, Blanket.

IN FLAMES x NEWSOUL Story Of Journey To The West 1/6th scale Monkey King on Throne

Journey to the West is an extended account of the legendary pilgrimage of the Tang dynasty Buddhist monk Xuanzang who traveled to the "Western Regions", that is, Central Asia and India, to obtain Buddhist sacred texts (sūtras) and returned after many trials and much suffering.

The novel has 100 chapters that can be divided into four unequal parts. The first part, which includes chapters 1–7, is a self-contained introduction to the main story. It deals entirely with the earlier exploits of Sun Wukong, a monkey born from a stone nourished by the Five Elements, who learns the art of the Tao, 72 polymorphic transformations, combat, and secrets of immortality, and through guile and force makes a name for himself, Qitian Dasheng (simplified Chinese: 齐天大圣; traditional Chinese: 齊天大聖), or "Great Sage Equal to Heaven". His powers grow to match the forces of all of the Eastern (Taoist) deities, and the prologue culminates in Sun's rebellion against Heaven, during a time when he garnered a post in the celestial bureaucracy. Hubris proves his downfall when the Buddha manages to trap him under a mountain, sealing it with a talisman for five hundred years.

IN FLAMES X NEWSOUL IFT-028 Story Of Journey To The West Series: 1/6th scale MONKEY KING ON THRONE(Deluxe Version) Collectible Set features: 1/6th scale Sun Wukong head sculpt, approximately 30 cm tall 12-inch male body, 9 interchangeable palms. Costume: Red robes, Yellow bloomers, Red cloak. Suit of armor: Monkey King’s newly designed armor (including Purple gold crown, a waist support, a belt, etc).

Haul for Christmas 2017: Scarlett Johansson as Major, Netflix Daredevil and The Last Jedi book

Here's wishing everyone who's reading this a very Merry Christmas and glad tidings of great joy :)

Here's my haul for December 2017, just in time for the Christmas holidays. They include Cat Toys CT-006 1/6th scale Female Character set (essentially Scarlett Johansson as Major Mira Killian / Motoko Kusanagi from the 2017 American science fiction action film Ghost in the Shell based on the Japanese manga of the same name by Masamune Shirow), Hot Toys Television Masterpiece Series TMS003 Netflix Marvel's Daredevil portrayed by Charlie Cox as Matt Murdock / Daredevil, and Star Wars: The Last Jedi visual dictionary by DK (Dorling Kindersley) Publishing.

In 2017, we finally got to see a live action film of Masamune Shirow's Ghost in the Shell manga which was first serialized in 1989 and then animated in 1995. The film had its many critics but for me to be able to see the Major and Section 9 being acted out on the big screen is a dream come true. It was certainly a visual treat and the special effects were not a disappointment. Netflix Marvel's Daredevil web television series was highly successful and led the way for more Marvel superhero characters to debut on television. Charlie Cox as Matt Murdock / Daredevil plays a blind lawyer-by-day who fights crime at night. All episodes of the first season were released on Netflix on April 10, 2015, while the second season was released in its entirety on March 18, 2016. They were met with positive reviews. In July 2016, the series was renewed for a third season; filming for the season began in November 2017, and it is intended to release in 2018.

Preview Soldier Story 1/6th scale Iraqi Special Operations Forces “ISOF” 12-inch military figure

Iraqi Special Operations Forces (ISOF) are one of Iraq’s premier fighting units. ISOF have been closely mentored by US special operations forces (SOF) from their inception following the 2003 invasion of Iraq. This relationship was substantially reduced when the United States withdrew forces from Iraq in December 2011, but has been re-established in response to ongoing joint operations targeting the so-called Islamic State. As of October 2016, the US SOF personnel advising ISOF have been elements from Bravo company, 2nd Battalion, 3rd Special Forces Group. ISOF have featured prominently in recent news, spearheading the push into Mosul. - Source: ARES Hoplite (link HERE)

It has been an amazing experience working with GATE TOYS. They have been totally supportive and gave me 100% creative freedom in the design and development process. Mr. Michael Zhu, co-founder of GATE TOYS told me to design whatever and however I like and let them worry about the production technicality. It felt almost like working on a film with unlimited budget, though time was limited as we were aiming at CICF in October 2017.

Review III: Gate Toys X Winson Classic Creation Time Wars 12-inch Yuan Kong figure + 1:6 scale Battle Damaged Mystic Being Steel Ox Crimson Flame deluxe diorama - that's quite a mouthful :p

continued from previous toy blog post...

Order Gate Toys X Winson Classic Creation 1:6 scale Time Wars Yuan Kong 12-inch collectible figure (ONLY 30 pcs available worldwide) at GATETOYSGLOBAL.com while stocks last!

This is my third 12-inch action figure review of Gate Toys X Winson Classic Creation 1:6 scale Time Wars Yuan Kong 12-inch collectible figure but in this post, I'm also covering the Battle Damaged Mystic Being Steel Ox Crimson Flame deluxe diorama which is an art piece by itself.

I really like the head sculpt of 1:6 scale Time Wars Yuan Kong and how they were able to combine real hair (fur) with the face sculpt. The head sculpt is quite expressive and captures the essence of the Monkey God “Sun Wu Kong” very well. Even though this is a sci-fi take on a traditional Chinese lore “Journey To The West”, one look at the face and you know who or what it's supposed to represent. The head sculpt is not like some of the sculpts out there with the blank stare looking into space expression. The antenna-like feelers (eye-brows?) are also a nice touch. You can check out the close-up pictures with all the nice details in my first part figure review HERE. It's amazing how they stayed intact and undamaged even when I put the bronze mask on (see earlier review post HERE).

The 1/6th scale Battle Damaged Mystic Being Steel Ox Crimson Flame deluxe diorama is equally stunning and I will cover all about it in this post. It's supposed to be the defeated enemy of Yuan Kong and what we are seeing is only the head as if it has been decapitated. The sculpting, the details and the nice addition of fur is all very well put together and the end result is something really lovely to look at.

DID 1/6th scale Roger Moore as James Bond (Officially Licensed) 12-inch collectible figure

Sir Roger George Moore, KBE (14 October 1927 – 23 May 2017) was an English actor. He is best known for having played Ian Fleming's British secret agent James Bond in seven feature films from 1973 to 1985. Moore took over the role of Bond from Sean Connery in 1972, made his first appearance as 007 in Live and Let Die (1973), and went on to portray the spy in six more films until his retirement from the role in 1985. He also played Simon Templar in the television series The Saint from 1962 to 1969 and Lord Brett Sinclair in The Persuaders! from 1971 to 1972 with Tony Curtis.

Live and Let Die (1973) is the eighth spy film in the James Bond series to be produced by Eon Productions, and the first to star Roger Moore as the fictional MI6 agent James Bond. Live and Let Die was released during the height of the blaxploitation era, and many blaxploitation archetypes and clichés are depicted in the film, including derogatory racial epithets ("honky"), black gangsters, and pimpmobiles. It departs from the former plots of the James Bond films about megalomaniac super-villains, and instead focuses on drug trafficking, a common theme of blaxploitation films of the period. It is set in African American cultural centres such as Harlem and New Orleans, as well as the Caribbean Islands.

DID is pleased to announce that they have been licensed by Roger Moore's Family and the famous Photographer Terry O' Neill to produce and release their first 1/6th scale Roger Moore 12-inch figure from Live and Let Die (1973).

Alert Line 1/6th WWII Royal Air Force Fighter Pilot 12-inch figure aka Tom Hardy in Dunkirk

Dunkirk is a 2017 war film written, directed, and co-produced by Christopher Nolan that depicts the Dunkirk evacuation of World War II. Dunkirk portrays the evacuation from three perspectives: land, sea, and air. It has little dialogue, as Nolan sought instead to create suspense from cinematography and music. It is the highest-grossing World War II film of all time, taking $525 million worldwide. Dunkirk received praise for its screenplay, direction, musical score, and cinematography; some critics called it Nolan's best work, and one of the greatest ever war films.

Tom Hardy portrays Farrier, a Royal Air Force Spitfire pilot who assumes command after their leader is shot down. The remaining two aircraft then save a minesweeper from a German bomber, but the other Spitfire is hit and ditches. Its pilot, Collins, is rescued by Moonstone. Farrier reaches Dunkirk, his fuel exhausted. Gliding over the beach, he shoots down a dive-bomber.

Pulp Fiction is a 1994 American black comedy neo-noir crime film written and directed by Quentin Tarantino, from a story by Tarantino and Roger Avary. Tarantino cast John Travolta in Pulp Fiction because Michael Madsen, who had played Vic Vega in Reservoir Dogs, chose to appear in Kevin Costner's Wyatt Earp instead. John Travolta and Samuel L. Jackson play Vincent Vega and Jules Winnfield, mob contract killers (hitmen) with a penchant for philosophical discussions.

Star Ace is producing 1/6th scale collectible figures based on characters from Quentin Tarantino's hit 1994 movie Pulp Fiction. Figures to be offered include John Travolta as Vincent Vega and Samuel L. Jackson as Jules Winnfield. Both figures are slated for release Q2, 2018.

Check out Calvin's Custom x Gate Toys 1/6 scale MOTOPSYCLE: mGT (mobile Gun Tower), BORGHEAD & GUNRUNNER on Kickstarter

Original design 1/6 combat motorcycle, advanced ballistic weapons and cyborg headsculpt by Calvin's Custom, a GATE TOYS Production. Available on Kickstarter (link HERE)

About Calvin:
Throughout 17 years of customizing, amongst many weapon mod, angel and cyborg designs, I have never stopped customizing bikes. In 2016, I created four bikes - two post-apocalyptic Mad Max style, one inspired by the Bat-Pod in The Dark Knight and one inspired by the Moto-Terminator in Terminator 4.

Following the ‘heroes/heroines and their steeds’ tradition - Zorro with Tornado, Ghostrider with Hell Cycle, Wonder Woman with Pegasus, and Barb Wire with her Harley Davidson - I believe a two-wheeled vehicle helps enhance a character's presence and amplify the valor, menace or evilness that the character embodies.

Feedback from collectors and friends reinforced that my creation deserves a name of its own. To me, being a customizer has always been a form of madness, one that involves tearing things apart, constantly aiming for the ‘what-has-never been done’, in ways that ‘have never-been-tempted’. In this spirit, I’ve named this project MOTOPSYCLE: mGT - a weapon of mass destruction on two wheels, the Gran Turismo of war.

MOTOPSYCLE: mGT (mobile Gun Tower)
Specifications: The 1/6 scale MOTOPSYCLE: mGT weights around 1.7kg, is approximately 40cm long, and 20cm tall and wide. It's comprised mostly of different grades of plastic with some alloy parts. Both the eyes of the cyborg skull headlight and the nuclear powered tank on top glow with LED lights powered by lithium battery.

Star Ace Toys 1/6th scale Audrey Hepburn as “Holly Golightly” 12-inch collectible figure

Breakfast at Tiffany's is a 1961 American romantic comedy film directed by Blake Edwards and written by George Axelrod, loosely based on Truman Capote's novella of the same name. Starring Audrey Hepburn and George Peppard, and featuring Patricia Neal, Buddy Ebsen, Martin Balsam, and Mickey Rooney, the film was initially released on October 5, 1961 by Paramount Pictures.

Hepburn's portrayal of Holly Golightly as the naïve, eccentric socialite is generally considered to be the actress's most memorable and identifiable role. Hepburn regarded it as one of her most challenging roles, since she was an introvert required to play an extrovert.

Star Ace Toys 1/6th scale Audrey Hepburn as “Holly Golightly” collectible figure features: Fully realized authentic likeness of Audrey Hepburn as Holly Golightly in the movie "Breakfast at Tiffany’s” with accurate facial expression, sculpted hair and detailed skin texture with partial seamless body | 1/6th scale partial seamless body, approximately 29 cm tall with 30 points of articulation | Six (6) interchangeable hands including: pair of open palms, pair of closed palms, left hand for cigarette holder, right hand for handbag

Review II: Hot Toys ALIEN 1/6th scale Sigourney Weaver as Ellen Ripley 12-inch Collectible Figure

continued from previous toy blog post...

I believe Hot Toys founder Howard Chan has an affinity for films from the past. What I mean is that he is still very sentimental and attached to some of the older but popular movies from the 20th Century like Terminator, RoboCop, Back to the Future, The Matrix and the Alien franchise, or else why would he want to get the license to produce figures from an older era when he could easily release newer figures based on the movies that are current and popular now.

When Hot Toys first started producing and releasing their Movie Masterpiece Series (MMS line) back in 2000, the first seven figures released were Kyle Reese and a damaged Terminator from the 1984 Terminator film, followed by three United States Colonial Marine Corps figures (Hicks, Apone and Vasquez) from 1986 Aliens AND John Rambo plus Colonel Trautman from 1985 First Blood II - you can check out the full listing from MMS001 to MMS140 on my blog post HERE.

And after more than 15 years, Hot Toys announced in May 2016 that they would be releasing a Ellen Ripley figure from the 1979 Alien film which arrived more than a year later in November 2017 (as part of my haul, posted HERE). This is my second part action figure review of Hot Toys Movie Masterpiece Series MMS366 ALIEN 1/6th scale Sigourney Weaver as Ellen Ripley 12-inch Collectible Figure. Ripley comes with a custom flamethrower, frightened version of Jonesy the cat which can be carried in a specially crafted cat carrier box, tracking device, and Alien themed diorama figure stand with Ripley nameplate.

Kotobukiya Tokyo Comic Con 2017 Previews - Batman: Gotham by Gaslight, Resident Evil Leon

To kick off Tokyo Comic Con 2017 Kotobukiya has been posting a number of exclusive product previews: they include Batman - Gotham by Gaslight ARTFX+ Statue, Resident Evil Vendetta Leon S. Kennedy ARTFX Statue, Resident Evil Vendetta Chris Redfield ARTFX Statue, Captain Marvel Bishoujo Statue, and Red Hood Ikemen Statue.

What caught my eye is the Tokyo Comic Con 2017 Preview: Batman - Gotham by Gaslight ARTFX+ Statue. Gotham by Gaslight is a DC Comics one-shot by Brian Augustyn and Mike Mignola, with inks by P. Craig Russell. Gotham by Gaslight is considered to be the first Elseworlds story, where DC Comics heroes are taken out of their usual setting and put into alternate timelines or realities. As a big fan of Mike Mignola's art style, I collected comic books with his art in them. The subject matter was quite wide ranging: there's an Alien Xenomorph story, Wolverine, Superman etc. Batman has more than one story drawn by Mignola.

Toys Works 1/6th scale Saber Master fencing master aka Mace Windu Jedi Master 12" figure

A grim Jedi Master with an amethyst-bladed lightsaber, Mace Windu was the champion of the Jedi Order, with little tolerance for the failings of the Senate, the arguments of politicians, or the opinions of rebellious Jedi.
