Review II: Kaustic Plastik 1/6 scale Athletik Muscle Body KP03B Caucasian version

continued from previous post...

Here's even more of the same :) I liked toying with this new Kaustic Plastik 1/6 scale Athletik Muscle Body KP03B Caucasian version figure so much I ended up posing him quite a bit and taking quite a lot of pictures. These are the narrowed down and selected ones for posting on my toy blog. I've already posted pictures of the package and some action poses in my previous post. You can check them out HERE


The picture above shows the KP03B Caucasian figure executing a MMA (Mixed Martial Arts) move ;p Why not? MMA is all the rage right now and even the everyday person is taking up the sport. I wanted to show how much the figure can bend at the legs as well as the ability of the arms to cross over the chest and hold the pose. Scroll down to see other poses I did with this figure




Here's Kaustic Plastik 1/6 scale Athletik Muscle Body KP03B Caucasian with the Glock pistol he had used in the previous post, shooting bad guys and such ;p


Even in a relaxed post, he looks good. That's because of the "Extraordinarily life-like muscle definition body" the guys at Kaustic Plastik have given him


Kaustic Plastik 1/6 scale Athletik Muscle Body KP03B Caucasian version which comes with 1/6 scale realistic head sculpt, 12-inch figure with more than 40 Points of articulation plus Extraordinarily life-like muscle definition body, 4 posing hands and Improved legs mechanism. The company has assured us that the bodies are made of extremely durable plastic (PVC and ABS) for lifetime enjoyment - no worries about cracking rubber bodies


Always great to know that there are other alternate bodies available out there (cheap and good) besides Hot Toys. Gives us more options and saves us even more money.


Here's a hand-to-hand combat fighting pose. Everybody's got to know a few fighting moves when it gets up close and personal.


I put the question out on facebook to ask if anybody knows who this is supposed to be and I got quite a few replies :) Some say he looks like Chazz Palminteri; some others mentioned he resembled Ray Stevenson (the Punisher and most recently, as Firefly in "G.I. Joe Retaliation" the movie) with a mix of Jeremy Renner and another guy said: Kevin Durand. Thanks for all the replies guys.


Truth is, Mick (a fellow blogger) pointed out that although Kaustic Plastik "always find inspiration in real life people, they do not like to make “replicas” of real actors or famous persons. They simply regard it as an artistic inspiration. They have given the sculptures a personal touch so that in the end the finished sculpture only bears a slight resemblance with the original person. Sometimes they even combine two different real life people in one single sculpture."


Be it as it may, I think this latest Kaustic Plastik 1/6 scale Athletik Muscle Body KP03B Caucasian can strike some pretty nice poses ;p


This figure is very sturdy and the joints are nice and tight so that he can hold any pose you put him in. But to get him to execute the jumping knee pose (as seen below), I had to enlist the help of a figure stand because in this instant, he's not even on the ground any more.


I wanted to show how the body can curl up for this pose as well as show how high the knee can be raised and how the joints work.


Just like what the company says: "Improved legs mechanism and Extraordinarily life-like muscle definition body".


Kaustic Plastik 1/6 scale Athletik Muscle Body KP03B Caucasian version also comes with 1/6 scale realistic head sculpt, 12-inch figure with more than 40 Points of articulation and a total of 4 posing hands.
