The film stars David Arquette, Neve Campbell, Courteney Cox, Matthew Lillard, Rose McGowan, Skeet Ulrich, and Drew Barrymore.

"Untitled (Creature Series)" The World of Tim Burton: An Art Piece for Collectors by Hot Toys

Tim Burton is taking his international touring exhibition "The World of Tim Burton" to Hong Kong from November 5, 2016 – January 23, 2017. Hot Toys is honored to be invited to create a high-quality collectible art piece from Burton's 1980s drawing known as "Untitled (Creature Series)", one of the signature artworks in the exhibition.

"The World of Tim Burton: An Art Piece for Collectors" features a self-manipulating puppet creature which, adorned with Burton's characteristic stripe motif and composed of a simple color palette of black and white with a hint of red, is representative of one of the central themes of his work—that is, to be emotionally felt. And the talented team at Hot Toys has faithfully brought Burton's artistic vision to life, transforming the 2D graphic work into a stunning 3D sculpture and collectible art piece that fans and collectors should not miss out.


As a prelude to the opening of the Hong Kong stop of "The World of Tim Burton" exhibition, 300 sets of this limited edition collectible art piece will be exclusively available for pre-order on FringeBacker for fans around the world. Each collectible is marked with a unique serial number and Tim Burton's printed autograph.

DollsOddSaga 1:6 "Outer Heaven" Exo-skeleton collectible figure Review II (think "Elysium")

continued from previous toy blog post...

More pics of DollsOddSaga DOSN-002 1:6 scale "Outer Heaven" Exo-skeleton Collectible Figure, this time with the Electro-Magnetic Rail Gun. This figure is inspired by the character Max Da Costa portrayed by Matt Damon in the 2013 science fiction action thriller film Elysium. Max Da Costa has a powered exoskeleton surgically attached to him after he is hit by a lethal dose of radiation during an industrial accident. When I watched the film, I was thinking to myself how cool it would be to have a 1/6th scale version of Max Da Costa with a powered exoskeleton attached. I never would have imagined that a company could actually produce this figure and the best part of it all is, they weren't asking for some ridiculously high price for it either.


So now that I have the figure in hand, I really appreciate the nice details and the effort the company DollsOddSaga put in to make this figure possible. The pistons / cyclinders all work nicely and you really get a rather realistic and movie-accurate depiction of the Matt Damon Max Da Costa character in the exo-suit in 1/6th scale. That's what I love about this 12-inch action figure collecting hobby and this outstanding figure is certainly one of those that goes up there on my list of top ten figures for 2016 :) Enjoy the pictures of 1:6 Max Da Costa with the fictional "ChemRail" rifle which supposedly has a high rate of fire, and its high-velocity rounds can rip right through walls and shred enemies.

Limited Edition Star Wars Han Solo in Carbonite Sixth Scale Figure by Sideshow Collectibles

"I know."

Unlike the Empire, Sideshow has a long history of working with carbonite which is why we are able to bring collectors the latest addition to our ever-expanding line of Star Wars Sixth Scale figures - Han Solo in Carbonite.

The Han Solo in Carbonite Sixth Scale Figure manages to capture (HA… get it?) the heart-stopping moment when we thought our favorite scruffy looking nerf herder might be doomed forever.


Multiple display options allow the carbonite slab to be positioned both horizontally, as it is moved through a Bespin hallway, and vertically, as it rests in the freezing chamber. The base includes swappable floor decos to simulate either scene, the somber exit from Bespin or the dramatic carbon chamber confrontation. Illumination in the base and along the carbon slab control panel completes the impressively detailed presentation.

VERY COOL 1/6th scale Digital Camouflage Women Soldier "Max" fem figure - Jessica Alba?

For over 3,000 years in a large number of cultures and nations, women have played many roles in the military, from ancient warrior women, to the women currently serving in conflicts, although the vast majority of all combatants in every culture have been men. Even though women serving in the military has often been diverse, a very small number of women in history have fought alongside men. In the American Civil War, there were a few women who cross-dressed as men in order to fight. Fighting on the battlefront in disguise was not the only way women involved themselves in war. Some also served as nurses and aides.

Despite various, though limited, roles in the armies of past societies, the role of women in the military, particularly in combat, is controversial and it is only recently that women have begun to be given a more prominent role in contemporary armed forces. As increasing numbers of countries begin to expand the role of women in their militaries, the debate continues. More recently, from the beginning of the 1970s, most Western armies have begun to admit women to serve active duty in all of military branches


VERY COOL VCF-2030 1/6th scale Digital Camouflage Women Soldier "Max" 12-inch figure looks a lot like Jessica Alba. Products list: simulation hair transplant head, VC 3.0 big chest female body (soft chest), AOR1 digital camouflage cap, AOR1 digital camouflage coat, AOR1 digital camouflage tactical pants, AOR1 digital camouflage pike bag, military climbing boots (one pair), tactical single-shoulder bag, black long sleeve underwear, magic tapes on the right and left armband x2, magic tapes on the pike bag badge x2, safety rope, leather belt, necklace of the troop brand, M1911 pistol, holster, pistol clips X2, pistol clips cover, M4 pike, flashlight, gunsight, laser box, clips cover, sling, clips x2, axe, axe cover, hook gun gloves (right hand), natural gloves (one pair), fist gloves (one pair), half fist gloves (one pair).

The powered exoskeleton allows Max to continue with the dangerous tasks he has to undertake in order to accomplish his mission.

DAM TOYS Gangsters Kingdom 12-inch Diamond 5 "Ralap" and 1/6th scale wolf "Ghost"

continued from previous toy blog post...

After the action figure review of DAM TOYS Gangsters Kingdom Diamond 5 "Ralap" 12-inch figure HERE and his 1/6th scale pet wolf "Ghost" on my toy blog HERE, here's a look at the two of them together :)

Dam Toys certainly got around the Logan / Wolverine issue pretty well. This is NOT Wolverine of the X-Men and yet, one cannot help but only see Wolverine in the picture, even if the claws are not coming out of his hands but are actually Tekagi-shuko or Tiger Hook Hands which were one of the many kakushi buki or hidden weapons deployed by Ninjas.


DAM TOYS Gangsters Kingdom 1/6th scale Diamond 5 Ralap's facial expression is as Wolverine as one can get, from the snarling face and teeth to the unique hair-style and beard. There's just no mistaking this head sculpt for anyone else other than Logan (James Howlett) aka Wolverine even if he is supposedly "Ralap". Adding the 1/6th scale wolf into the mix is a nice touch.

Dam Toys 1/6th scale 75th Ranger Regiment Chalk Leader of Task Force Ranger from Operation Gothic Serpent circa Somalia 1993 - preview pics with more details posted on the blog HERE. Operation Gothic Serpent was a military operation conducted by special operations forces of the United States with the primary mission of capturing warlord Mohamed Farrah Aidid. One of the key events is the downing of a UH-60 Black Hawk and the subsequent attempt to rescue its crew. As a result of the Black Hawk Down, the raid quickly became the most intensive close combat in the military history of the United States since the Vietnam War. The events of the raid were later renamed the Battle of Mogadishu by international media.

Mark Bowden wrote a book about it and it was then adapted into a film directed by Ridley Scott and released in 2001, aptly named BLACK HAWK DOWN.

A letter from the frontline:

War of Order: Black Bear Bone (Side Chapter)

B3 is our company, we use that for short but technically we’re the Black Bear Bone’s. We are the last line of air defense for Taipei and most of the Pacific Ocean’s territories. After the nuclear strike in New York City, things have not been the same.

There have been various terrorist cells and insurgencies that rose after NYC; the coastal pirates have become more arrogant; some men have even become despotic kings of their own turfs. There are many countries that are having these ‘problems’ with national defense. Our business is booming though. Our new SP-077 Sharp Teeth rockets are a plus, but it is the Tech that I love. We got outfitted with a new Fly-Style tactical helmet — Someone higher up must think this job is important.


Our captain is half native to this place, Taiwan. Seems his mother was a native here, so he has always liked the island. Cap says that it feels like home to him. One night, during one of the more drink-laden parties, our captain got to telling us the origin of the Black Bear Bone logo; seems that it is a totemic animal for Taiwan. The Taiwanese black bear is a patron saint from their mountains, it protected the native Taiwanese from evil spirits.

Review of DAM TOYS Gangsters Kingdom Diamond 5 "Ralap" 1/6th scale pet wolf "Ghost"

continued from previous toy blog post...

Diamond 5 Ralap's backstory is that his parents were killed when he was 6 years old and he was raised by wolves. He was finally brought back to civilisation after 15 years and by then, he was just a wild beast clothed in human skin. And the gangs gladly took him in. The Jungle Book is also a story about a boy Mowgli who is raised by a family of wolves. He is a feral child from the Pench area in Seoni, India, who originally appeared in Kipling's short story "In the Rukh" (collected in Many Inventions, 1893) and then went on to become the most prominent and memorable character in his novels The Jungle Book and The Second Jungle Book (1894–1895). Mowgli has been cited as a major influence on Edgar Rice Burroughs' character Tarzan.


But this post is not about Mowgli. It's about DAM TOYS Gangsters Kingdom Diamond 5 "Ralap" 1/6th scale pet wolf "Ghost" which is very well produced even though it does not have any articulation. I've already covered Ralap earlier HERE. Ghost is fixed in a very aggressive posture with angry eyes and looks ready to attack at any moment. It comes with switchable lower jaws which allow it to be posed with open mouth showing teeth and tongue or a gritted teeth alternative option (see the pictures at the bottom of this toy blog post).

AC PLAY 1/6th scale Winter Warrior Figure Set is Bucky Barnes / Winter Soldier 12-inch figure

Captain America: Civil War is a 2016 American superhero film featuring the Marvel Comics character Captain America, produced by Marvel Studios and distributed by Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures. It is the sequel to 2011's Captain America: The First Avenger and 2014's Captain America: The Winter Soldier, and the thirteenth film of the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU).

It stars Sebastian Stan as Bucky Barnes / Winter Soldier: An enhanced brainwashed assassin allied with Steve Rogers (Captain America); his best friend who reemerged after being thought killed in action during World War II. This portrayal is an amalgam of Barnes and the Winter Soldier, with Stan saying, "here's the guy when you merge the two. This is what came out. To me, he's never really going to be Bucky Barnes again.

Pangaea Toy PG-06 1/6th scale Samurai General 12-inch action figure from The Last Samurai film

The Last Samurai is a 2003 American epic historical war film directed and co-produced by Edward Zwick, who also co-wrote the screenplay with John Logan. The film stars Tom Cruise, who also co-produced, as well as Ken Watanabe, Shin Koyamada, Tony Goldwyn, Hiroyuki Sanada, Timothy Spall, and Billy Connolly.

Tom Cruise portrays a formerly retired officer (US Army Captain Nathan Algren) of the United States 7th Cavalry Regiment, whose personal and emotional conflicts bring him into contact with samurai warriors in the wake of the Meiji Restoration in 19th Century Japan. The film's plot was inspired by the 1877 Satsuma Rebellion led by Saigō Takamori, and the westernization of Japan by foreign powers, though in the film the United States is portrayed as the primary force behind the push for westernization. To a lesser extent it is also influenced by the stories of Jules Brunet, a French army captain who fought alongside Enomoto Takeaki in the earlier Boshin War and Frederick Townsend Ward, an American mercenary who helped Westernize the Chinese army by forming the Ever Victorious Army.


From Pangaea Toy:
We are proud to introduce our new general, SAMURAI GENERAL. Samurai was the military nobility in Japan during the Shogunate. SAMURAI GENERAL is featuring a newly developed head sculpt with rooted hair, formal kimono, detailed sculpted Japanese armor with gauntlets and greaves, sword with metal blade and sidearm.

ace new product: Battle of Hamburger Hill 1969 - 1/6th scale 101st Airborne Division 12-inch figure

The Battle of Hamburger Hill was a battle of the Vietnam War that was fought by the United States and South Vietnam against North Vietnamese forces from May 10–20, 1969 (main part of Operation Apache Snow). Although the heavily fortified Hill 937 was of little strategic value, U.S. command ordered its capture by a frontal assault, only to abandon it soon thereafter. The action caused a controversy both in the American military and public.

The battle was primarily an infantry engagement, with the U.S. Airborne troops moving up the steeply-sloped hill against well entrenched troops. Attacks were repeatedly repelled by the North Vietnamese People's Army of Vietnam (PAVN) defenses. Bad weather also hindered operations. Nevertheless, the Airborne troops took the hill through direct assault, causing extensive casualties to the NVA forces.

U.S. losses during the ten-day battle totalled 72 KIA and 372 WIA. To take the position, the 101st Airborne Division eventually committed five infantry battalions and ten batteries of artillery. In addition, the U.S. Air Force flew 272 missions and expended more than 500 tons of ordnance. U.S. estimates of the losses incurred by the 7th and 8th Battalions of the 29th NVA Regiment included 630 dead (discovered on and around the battlefield); including many found in makeshift mortuaries within the tunnel complex. Yet no one could count the NVA running off the mountain, those killed by artillery and air strikes, the wounded and dead carried into Laos or the dead buried in collapsed bunkers and tunnels.

Studio Sundowner "Advent of Marvelous League" General Antira 1:6 scale zodiac fantasy 12" figure

continued from previous toy blog post...

After WWIII, human civilization grows after a nuclear blast. Only 0.1% of the world’s population survived the holocaust. Many souls are unable to revive by entering the wheel of fortune, wandering between the spiritual world and our world. The spirits with a strong desire possess other people or an animal’s body, and even machines. They are called as “Armageddon-Atman”. These unstable and violent forms will become the nightmare and disasters of Armageddon.

The twelve Heavenly Generals or yaksha have different personalities. Some of them are fierce and some benign. Each of these twelve generals has seven thousand soldiers and dependents, and eighty-four hundred dharma mates. The twelve Heavenly Generals are divided into twelve earthly branches or twelve animal signs. They guard this world in turn 12 hours through days and nights, and the four seasons in twelve months (ancient classic).


General Antira – the guardian god of the hours of shen (3-5 pm). Passionate and energetic, he was a kind of action person. Good at close combat his major weapon was a subduing demon pestle. In the battles between gods and demons in the remote past, he was a comrade of Kinnara and a close friend of Pajra. At that time, they reanimated in this world with the summoning of the Psionic Association. They vowed to annihilate all “Armageddon-Atman” in this world.

Studio Sundowner "Advent of Marvelous League" #2 Kinnara 1:6 scale zodiac fantasy 12" figure

Studio Sundowner new series of creation, Advent of Marvelous League, is inspired by the Chinese Zodiac. Fusing mythology, religion, and sci-fi elements, these form the background of this story in order to create a future world located nowhere.

General Kinnara – the guardian god of yin (3:00-5:00am). With a yellow body, he appears to be angry. Wearing a tiger pattern hat, he holds a precious stick in his hand, according to historic documents.


Kinnara is careful person, with a strong sense of responsibility. Good at close combat, his major weapon was a pair of tiger paws and a pair of vajra pestles. Different from the guardian god of Antira, who was passionate and helpful, Kinnara felt nothing towards people and found their behavior foolish for destroying themselves by starting nuclear wars. However, due to his strong sense of mission, he put his prejudices aside and stepped onto the road to conquer.

When it comes to the Chinese Zodiac, most companies start with the Monkey but Studio Sundowner decides to go with the Tiger. An interesting choice nonetheless.
