Medicom/Hot Toys and all 1/6 scale figures

[Gakken85]

Finally got this guy today:

Took awhile.. but I got him from a local guy who saved me about $150 bucks. haha

[Negotiator]

very nice!

Video Review.

[Ahab]

I built this Wing Tsun prop for a client who's making a series of short films (stop motion) in 1/6 scale.

I know its not entirely on topic, but thanks for lookin!

[Gakken85]

Looks cool. Did you sand the wood and all?

[Ahab]

Most of it was sanded completely smooth (with the exception of the verticle supports which I left rough to simulate re-sawn lumber. The entire piece was then detailed with a rigid wire sculpting tool to create the wood grain. The bare wood was then sprayed with an earthy orange laquer followed by acrylic washes and satin top coat.

[Gakken85]

Finally got the whole gang together!!! Nerd-gasm over here

Cool video review and congratz of getting the yellow one. I have Eva-02. Very imposing figure. The red is just pure aye candy!!

[Gakken85]

I think the 02 is the best release of the three so far. More bang for your buck haha.

Unlicensed 1/6 killzone 3 figures? why not. Fingers crossed they don't get sued into oblivion before they get around to the helghast sniper. That's a badass design.

Found these. Some of the best looking hot toys images I've ever seen. Almost makes me want to get a Hulk.. but I can't get over those giant shoulder creases haha.

I don't know why Hot Toys hides the joints/seams on some figures and doesn't on others. It's like they don't want people to forget that they are making figures. I've seen many photos where if you didn't know what you were looking at, you would think you are looking at a photo of a person. The Bale and Keaton Batman figures in particular.

[anime52k8]

It's balancing look with possibility. On that hulk, they could make the entire upper body including arms and hands one big piece but then you would have no rotational movement at the shoulders or wrists. the batman suits are more conducive to hiding the joints and still being flexible because of their design and materials (compared to something that's supposed to look like bare skin anyways).

Awesome fight scene. Thanks for sharing!

BTW, looks like Hot Toys has followed Sideshow in regards to pricing on hulking armors:

That's one uncomfortable suit if Tony ever planned on putting that on.

[Gakken85]

Looks silly.

Who wants a giant blue iron man?

I'd much rather have Jim Raynor

[Valkyrie Hunter D]

Sideshow Toys now has my full attention: "Call Me Snake."

Awesome! I was expecting a Solid Snake Toy. Now I want a Jack Burton one also... lol.

[Gakken85]

Looks pretty good. Seeing it in photos and I'm not nearly as excited to be honest.

[KH355hamdi]

My Scarlett.

[Gakken85]

Pretty cool. Where is the bike from?

Thank you. It's a NewRay Ducati 999 I got from ebay.

[EXO]

Nice I have the 2003 Ducati Desmosedici

[Gakken85]

I got my first Hot Toys today. Very impressed with the quality and packaging. Really amazing face sculpt too.

Those three pictures are better than Man Of Steel movie...

[Gakken85]

Haha. Man of Steel has some big problems, but it's grown on me a bit as far as something fun to watch. I hope they will make up for it in the superman/batman movie.

But yeah.. 80's Superman is the best!!

[Kanedas Bike]

In case anyone is interested, Sideshow just put up for pre-order a limited edition Iron Man Mark XXI - Midas. This was initially an overseas convention exclusive with some pretty ridiculous prices on eBay.

Get it while the getting is good!

-b.

[Gakken85]

I snagged one around 1:30. Amazed it's still up.

They must have a few thousand.

[Gakken85]

Got my Hulk out last night and took off his underpants

None of the online pictures really do him justice. When you pick him up and feel the weight, see the dark green color, and the face sculpt close up... it's massively impressive.

I did a quick mod on my detolf with some wire ubolt clamps and raise my bottom shelf up enough to get him in.

I also loooove the clicky ratchet joints in his elbows.

[Gakken85]

So sexy.

[Gakken85]

Woot, just got the last DX-13 at Amiami for $250. Seems to be selling out at $313 before shipping at other places.

With my black getters I should get it well below $300.

Did Hot Toys finally fix the wrists in regards to IM so he can actually hold his palm at 90 degrees?

That was one if the reasons I sold off my War Machine and Mk3.

I'll come back if they did. Looks like they're making a IM3 War Machine 6th scale.

I'm all over that.
