Square Enix Play Arts Kai DC Variant "Batman: Timeless - Sparta" Batman action figure review 1

A Batman will always exist, as the the Dark Knight is timeless.

Legends exist regardless of the time: Throughout generations, there has always been a force of justice that agents of crime, chaos and evil have contended with. Every incarnation of Batman that existed throughout time stood as a beacon of hope and the reflection of the age it is a part of. Utilizing and innovating the technology available, Batman is ever vigilant even in lawless times. These Square Enix Play Arts Kai DC Comics Variant "Batman: Timeless" action figures provide us a chance to see the various concepts of the famous vigilante now envisioned through intriguing epochs of time.

This is the recently released Square Enix Play Arts Kai 1/7th scale DC Comics Variant "Batman: Timeless - Sparta" action figure. The designers at Play Arts Kai have re-imagined Batman as a Spartan-like warrior. Sparta was unique in ancient Greece for its social system and constitution, which completely focused on military training and excellence. Sparta's reputation as a land-fighting force was unequalled. In 480 BC a small force of Spartans, Thespians, and Thebans led by King Leonidas (approximately 300 were full Spartiates, 700 were Thespians, and 400 were Thebans although these numbers do not reflect casualties incurred prior to the final battle), made a legendary last stand at the Battle of Thermopylae against the massive Persian army, inflicting very high casualties on the Persian forces before finally being encircled. The superior weaponry, strategy, and bronze armour of the Greek hoplites and their phalanx again proved their worth one year later when Sparta assembled at full strength and led a Greek alliance against the Persians at the battle of Plataea. The decisive Greek victory at Plataea put an end to the Greco-Persian War along with Persian ambition of expanding into Europe.

In this fictional retelling of the Sparta story, a lone man survives the massacre of his entire tribe and vows to exact vengeance on the corrupt leaders who had a hand in exterminating his people. He operates as a lone dark knight against all the criminal elements of his time under his tribe's creed: Gothe Heam Stundes (Justice comes for you).

Comparison pictures of Samurai Taisho Darth Vader & Ronin Kenzan Boba Fett 7" action figure

continued from previous toy blog post...

Having reviewed both the Bandai Tamashii Nations Star Wars Movie Realization Samurai Taisho Darth Vader 18 cm action figure (posted HERE and HERE) as well as Bandai Tamashii Nations Star Wars Movie Realization 7-inch tall Ronin Kenzan Boba Fett action figure (posted earlier HERE and HERE), it's time to put the two action figures side-by-side for a size comparison.

Star Wars gave us a lot of interesting characters, chief among them has to be Darth Vader and Boba Fett, two of the most notorious and famous villains we have ever come across. These two have been made into so many countless action figures that it boggles the mind but they have never been re-imagined and re-designed as Samurai warriors until now. And that is why Bandai Tamashii Nations‘ Movie Realization series for Star Wars has made such an impact, becoming one of the most sought-after lines in the collecting community. They are different, they are unique and they are beautifully designed and thought out. I already have four from the series (these two plus a Ashigaru Stormtrooper action figure which I have reviewed on my toy blog HERE and HERE as well as the Teppo Ashigaru Sandtrooper which will be reviewed soon) and am looking forward to the Akonaze Royal Guard.

All the Star Wars characters being reimagined as Japanese warriors so far have masks and helmets which helps in the redesign. We haven't seen any of the heroes from the film franchise because most of them have faces (Luke, Leia and Han Solo) which might be a little more tricky to interpret. Still, I am glad that these figures got made and even though they are not 1:6 scale, I for one am not complaining.

Official Photos of MAFEX Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice – Knightmare Batman Figure!

Even way before we got our first look at the feature-length superhero showdown that is "Batman v Superman: Dawn Of Justice" there was a huge amount of chatter and speculation circling about the "Knightmare" dream sequence that shows a captured Batman (Ben Affleck) and a pretty scary looking Man of Steel (Henry Cavill). The footage provided us with a glimpse into a terrible dystopian future, a world swarming with Darkseid's Parademons and the Omega brand burned into the ground as Batman stands above a ruined city (presumably either Gotham or Metropolis).

MAFEX Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice – Knightmare Batman Figure stands about 6.3-inch tall, has 20 points of articulation, includes masked and unmasked head sculpts, a rifle, a pistol along with binoculars. It will retail for 5,800 Yen or $52.00 U.S., and hits the shelves December 2016. These preview pictures give us a better look at Knightmare Batman, his outfit and weapons seen in the film.

The ghosts are also sad when the narrow fan starts to dance.

She walks on the fire line, and seems so calm and comfortable, the fit robe makes her long stature exquisitely carved. Every step she walks can reflect a healthy sheen from high to the waist of the slits, and the proud breasts seems to bounce out of the corset. As the flames burn, the mast scull is ashes to ashes.

In the war between the god and the evil, the demon family follows Sun Wukong to challenge the gods, they regard Sun Wukong as their hero, and they are willing to go through fire and water for him.

April 2015 Haul: ACplay 1/6th scale The Leader Outfit, World Box Durable Body & Sparta Batman

April 2016 has been a slow month in terms of my toy haul. These are the action figures and 1:6 scale accessories I got: ACplay ATX008 1/6th scale The Leader Outfit for Hot Toys Narrow Shoulder Body, World Box VT-003 1/6th scale Durable Body (Narrow Shoulders) and Square Enix Play Arts Kai DC Comics Variant - Batman Timeless Sparta action figure.

I never bothered to get the Hot Toys Nick Fury action figure because I always felt that he was a bit overpriced. All the heroes had special costumes and weapons that made them unique and one-of-a-kind but what Nick Fury wore was just tactical clothing which could be gotten easily. So when ACplay previewed their Leader Outfit set, I just had to go for it because it was basically Nick Fury's costume in The Avengers but a lot cheaper. It also helped that ACplay also released a 1:6 scale Nick head sculpt :)

Spider-Man goes the way of the Samurai with Tamashii Nations‘ Manga Realization series

From Star Wars (see previous toy blog post) to Marvel superheroes...

Over the past year, Tamashii Nations‘ Movie Realization series for Star Wars has stormed onto toy shelves everywhere and made quite the impact, becoming one of the most sought-after lines in the collecting community. Tamashii’s bold interpretations and re-imagination took the Star Wars back to its original inspirations, and gave us some of the most unique and captivating Star Wars action figures ever. Now the Japanese company is turning its eye to comics (manga in Japanese), and putting heroes like Spider-Man through the same feudal era lens.

Reimagining MARVEL heroes starting with Samurai Spider-Man! Tamashii Nations take Spider-Man back to Feudal Japan in full, web-like Samurai warrior armor design.

Spider-Man comes with two blades, a few sets of hands (including web-shooting hands), and a grappling hook and line. There may not be a crazy amount of articulation in there, but Tamashii has included enough to get Spider-Man in some fun poses.

Review II: Bandai Star Wars Movie Realization Samurai Taisho Darth Vader 18 cm action figure

continued from previous toy blog post...

This is a second-part review of the Bandai Star Wars Movie Realization Samurai Taisho Darth Vader 18 cm tall action figure, designed by Takayuki Takeya. Here Darth Vader is shown wielding his lightsaber sword. The blade is translucent red to give the impression of a light based sword rather than a solid steel sword, in line with the interpretation that Star Wars existed in feudal Japan when the samurais were lords of their domain and fought battles to rule over more land. This Bandai Star Wars Movie Realization Samurai Taisho Darth Vader looks to be inspired by actual samurai armor worn by warrior Date Masamune. Check out the 1:6 scale version of Samurai Date Masamune released by DiD a while back - see my action figure review HERE.

Besides this Samurai Darth Vader action figure, Bandai has also released a Ashigaru Stormtrooper action figure (review posted on my toy blog HERE and HERE), a Ronin Kenzan Boba Fett action figure (reviewed HERE and HERE) and a Teppo Ashigaru Sandtrooper action figure (part of my March 2016 haul - posted HERE). That's four down and more on the way.

Ace new product: 1/6th scale Operation Cliff Dweller IV 1970 - 25th Infantry Division soldier

Bandai Star Wars Movie Realization Samurai Taisho Darth Vader 18 cm action figure review 1

continued from previous toy blog post (still on the subject of Darth Vader)...

This figure was from my October 2015 toy haul (posted on my toy blog HERE)

Everyone knows George Lucas drew inspiration from Akira Kurosawa's "The Hidden Fortress" for Star Wars, particularly the droids C-3P0 and R2-D2. Not only that, Darth Vader's armor / overall look also was based very much on the Japanese samurai armor, specifically Date Masamune's samurai armor (Check out the 1/6 scale Date Masamune Samurai 12-inch figure released by DID posted in my toy blog HERE). Fighting with light sabers were very much mimicking the sword duels of the Samurais.

This Bandai Star Wars Movie Realization Samurai Taisho Darth Vader action figure, designed by Takayuki Takeya, is about 18 cm tall, and comes with three pairs of alternate hands and lightsaber sword pieces - one with fully extended Lightsaber blade and one with just the Lightsaber hilt. This Samurai Darth Vader has over 15 points of articulation and is cast in ABS and PVC plastics. This figure is the first in Bandai's Star Wars Movie Realization series and was not released in great numbers because many people failed to pre-order and there was a shortage in supply to retailers once the figure was released which caused the price to skyrocket pretty fast. I'm glad I got mine and would like to share these pictures with you guys :)

Cat Toys 1:6 scale Dark Mourner 12-inch female action figure - all covered up but the boobies

Every time a company tries to put out fantasy female figures, inevitably the boobs will be shown. Is it because they think that the majority of collectors who happen to be male will be drawn to the figure's bust since that's something females have that males don't? They do bring back "mammaries" after all LOL

Cat Toys 1:6 scale Dark Mourner 12-inch female action figure features: Coat, Rooted hair female head sculpt, Alternate masked female head sculpt, Mid Bust body, Hands (3 pairs), Swimsuit, Bust strap, Waist strap, Gloves, Stockings (pair), High heel shoes, Sword, Art box

Interestingly enough, Cat Toys first female figure released looked a lot like a certain Harley from the upcoming film which was previewed in my previous toy blog post HERE. This second figure looks to be from a different genre altogether.

DC Collectibles Suicide Squad Statues: Harley Quinn, Katana, Deadshot, Killer Croc, Joker + 1

It feels good to be bad.

Suicide Squad is an upcoming American superhero film (scheduled to be released on August 5, 2016) based on the DC Comics antihero team of the same name. It is intended to be the third installment in the DC Extended Universe. The film is written and directed by David Ayer and stars an ensemble cast featuring Will Smith, Jared Leto, Margot Robbie, Joel Kinnaman, Viola Davis, Jai Courtney, Jay Hernandez, Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje, Ike Barinholtz, Scott Eastwood, and Cara Delevingne. Premise: A secret government agency known as "Task Force X," led by Amanda Waller, recruits imprisoned supervillains to execute dangerous black ops missions in exchange for clemency and saving the world from an unknown but powerful threat.

Assemble a team of the world's most dangerous, incarcerated Super Villains, provide them with the most powerful arsenal at the government's disposal, and send them off on a mission to defeat an enigmatic, insuperable entity. U.S. intelligence officer Amanda Waller has determined only a secretly convened group of disparate, despicable individuals with next to nothing to lose will do. However, once they realize they weren't picked to succeed but chosen for their patent culpability when they inevitably fail, will the Suicide Squad resolve to die trying, or decide it's every man for himself!

The unhinged heart of the Suicide Squad is ready to play! This highly detailed statue captures the movie look of Margot Robbie as the unpredictable antihero Harley Quinn, as she appears in the blockbuster Suicide Squad film. Harley's pose captures the character's dangerous, mischievous personality, so you'd better keep an eye on that baseball bat. Measures approximately 12" tall.

How much would Darth Vader's suit cost?

continued from previous toy blog post...

Darth Vader is arguably the most memorable character from the Star Wars universe, and his suit is one of the most iconic costumes in film history. But how much would that suit cost in real life?

Produced by Shade Station with information gleaned from a variety of sources, this Darth Vader infographic attempts to list the cost of the prosthetic legs and left arm as well as their maintenance plus heart and lung machine built into the suit to aid him in breathing. Darth Vader's helmet would have augmented reality functionality, similar to that of the mounted display of the F-35's helmet, giving him night vision capability as well as navigational capability and advanced targeting. As Imperial space fighter cockpits are nor pressurised, Vader's suit must be airtight and be able to withstand exposure to space. The base suit then would need to be similar to a NASA space suit, which makes him an astronaut as well.

Preview Kotobukiya Star Wars: A New Hope 1/7th scale Darth Vader ARTFX 12-inch Statue

Kotobukiya is proud to present the triumphant return of the Star Wars saga to the full-size ARTFX Statue series. For this premium presentation we’re featuring the movie that started it all and the first appearance of everyone’s favorite Dark Lord of the Sith in DARTH VADER A NEW HOPE VERSION!

Ruthless and powerful, Darth Vader stands in a commanding pose as he oversees the search for rebel elements on the Tantive IV. The towering warrior intimidates all who come before him, and his pose implies ultimate confidence with a slight twist to his body and his hands resting comfortably on his belt. This elite ARTFX version of the former Jedi perfectly captures Vader’s original costume as seen in Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope complete with the padded armor, integrated cape and skirt, control panels, and of course the most famous helmet in movie history. And while the multi-colored lights on his chest plate and belt break up the black and gray color scheme of the villain’s armor, they do little to penetrate the dark aura of his presence.

Darth Vader A New Hope Version stands nearly 12 inches tall in the classic ARTFX 1/7th scale. This high quality PVC statue is easy to assemble and fully painted so you can have your Dark Lord of the Sith in your display in no time!

Venom Snake (ヴェノム・スネーク Venomu Sunēku), originally introduced as Punished Snake (パニッシュド・スネーク Panishudo Sunēku) in the E3 2013 trailer and credited as Punished "Venom" Snake in the game, is the lead playable character in Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain. Within the narrative, he is the leader of the fictional mercenary unit "Diamond Dogs".

From Union Creative comes this 9 3/4 inches tall figure of Metal Gear Solid V's leading man featuring super-detailed equipment and weaponry to recreate the tension of the game.

"This isn't about the past...We're fighting for the future."
