ThreeZero Titanfall 20.5" Atlas Figure

Titanfall was a nice videogame released recently and ThreeZero has just picked up the license to produce this huge bulky mechsuit called Atlas at a whopping 20.5" complete with the 6" pilot figure. The details and paint application of the figure is no doubt the most interesting coupled with its articulated body armour from head to toes. One thing for certain, this figure will need some serious shelf space and surely will be the main attraction in your display shelf.

 Need some lift ups for my arms with these weights
 Heavily armoured
Bolts & Going NUTS
 Light up feature
 My armour is my strength
Open sesame
 Sorry these are still renders
 Whoa that's a huge drop for me to land?
 The future is now
One night standing

MG 1/100 Hi-Nu Gundam Ver. Ka

As usual Bandai will tease us some new cool kids early of the year and release it at the last quarter of the same year. This year is no exception and Ver.Ka kits has been consistently released for few years back now. Ver.Ka typically are gundam kits which are refined or a re-release and somewhat remastered of some of the older but cool gundam kits which can also be termed as Version Katoki Hajime. Katoki Hajima is a member of Sunrise and also well known for his mecha design works in the Gundam series. 

Last year Sazabi Ver.Ka was a hugely popular model kit with its transformable external armour. The year 2014 we are about to build some really cool Hi-Nu Gundam Ver.Ka. Here are some of the amazing photos showing the completed MG 1/100 Hi-Nu Gundam Ver. Ka.

Hot Toys Mark XXXVI 1/6 Peacemaker

Alright guys please don't hate me for this new Hot Toys Mark XXXVI 1/6 Peacemaker figure. For some of us who are yet to get their hands or missed out the power pose Red Snapper, this is the figure that you might just need to pick up. Frankly, Red Snapper is one of the biggest Iron Man 1/6 scale figure right after Iron Monger in terms of height, mass and bulkiness till Igor Mark XXXVIII is release in a not so far future. 

Since Red Snapper was a power pose with its non retractable claw, it might just bug some of the collectors. Well, Peacemaker is here to solve this problem but I still prefer the red over orange. Please do give us your views and comments on this cool looking figure, if any.

I'm steady no rod please
Let me give you a shock
I like oranges
Getting ready to sprint
Need more power to lift off
I love under construction decals
I had far more less screen time than Red Snapper
Fisted already

Bandai Patlabor 1/48 Type 98 AV Ingram

Recently, Patlabor released its live action movie of the same name with some pretty amazing looking Ingram mecha. Bandai has since teased us with its Patlabor 1/48 Type 98 AV Ingram during the Shizuoka Hobby Show 2014. I always wanted to get the original Ingram 1 to 3 but ended up holding back due to my Gundam kits which occupied quite a fair bit of my time. After watching the new Type 98 AV Ingram introduced and with its astounding level of detail, I just had to preorder it.

Behold are some of the crazy level of detail based on the revised mech suit from the Patlabor movie. I guess panel lining this kit will be a tedious work but once you have it completed, I'm pretty sure you will love it. You just have to PAT on your back for your hard LABOR of love!

 Idle mode is still looking pretty cool
 Very detailed moulded parts
 Are those still rubber between the legs and hips?
 Double the siren
Titanfall will be proud of me
 Why do I even need a pistol?
 Now that's tiny
 Superb backpack
 My SMATV antenna receiver
Powerloader is sissy
 My feet is very well balanced
 Nice detailing on the sides
Speechless

Bandai's new Type 98 AV Ingram from "The Next Generation - Patlabor -" will be fully posable and ready to fight crime after assembly!
