THREEZERO TMNT 1:6 SCALE LEONARDO & MICHELANGELO COMBO SET

Threezero these days are building up their figurines line rapidly with one more amazing collectible based on the recent Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie. TMNT figures are rare to come by and that's why the sideshow TMNT statues value were so high. I guess now Threezero has outdone themselves by introducing Leonardo and Michelangelo. These 2 figures have about 25 points of articulation and it looks so realistic.

I can't even imagine collecting all 4 of the TMNT figures by Threezero. I surely hope they release Shredder as the armour suit is outstandingly crazy in detail. It looks almost like samurai ironman and we just love it. I know some of us may not like the movie adaptation or maybe some of us want to have a look how Megan Fox turns out these days. Well, we can all agree the face do looks younger than the Transformers days but not neck down perhaps. No pun intended here.

PLAY IMAGINATIVE 1:4 SCALE MARK XLV

Yes I know some of us has heard a lot about Play Imaginative and yes I am not here to elaborate any further on their past. I'm here to show off these new photos released on their Avengers II 1/4 scale Iron Man Mark 45. Not much was shown about this Iron Man armour suit in the movie trailer for the upcoming Age of Ultron but we do love what we see here.

This could possibly be the Ferrari Super Car of the Ironman armour suit. It look so streamlined minimalist, sleek and freakinly awesome. If this is the same as the earlier War Machine diecast which they released a while back, it would be great. My only hope is that Play Imaginative is able to keep the cost down and have a higher quality control of their product.

The 2nd photo do show HulkBuster at the back and we really can't confirm if this will be a diecast 1/4 scale release. If yes, it would probably cost an arm, a leg and our peanuts!

ARTFX AVENGERS II IRONMAN MARK XLIII 1:6 SCALE

While we all await for the anticipation release of Avengers II - Age of Ultron, we were bombarded with countless, mindless and ridiculous amounts of merchandise from the Marvel franchise. One of it is certainly no other than collectible toys. The news on Kotobukiya going to release 1/10 scale Hulkbuster was a great one but we are not surprise that when they announce Mark 43 statue at 1:6 scale. We have seen Artfx releasing Mark VII, War Machine 2.0 and Mark 42 and now with a much more impressive ironman armour suit - the Mark XLIII. However, if there is a thing which I dislike about this figure, it has to be the chest arc reactor which is merely the one bland looking white chest piece. I'm hoping Artfx guys can do something about it or just put a little bit more effort to detail it like some other ahem,...I won't say who. Well, the armpits look nice in this statue though.

This time around Artfx has kind of tone down the dynamic poses compare with their past few ironman statues. Mark 43 does comes with a nice Avenger base and led light up feature on the chest reactor and palms. I hope that these are sensor type similar to their earlier Artfx Mark 42 as changing the batteries are really a hassle.

For some of us who really are on a budget but still hoping to own an ironman suit from the Avengers II, Artfx does offer this statue at a quite reasonable price. I have a feeling that Mark 43 could possibly be kill off at the beginning of the movie as there are still Hulkbuster and Mark 45 towards the midpoint and end of the final scenes where Ultron is sending off all his sentry armies for world domination! Don't ask me how or why Mark 43 may not be as important armour suit compare to Mark 45 as Mark 45 is really partially shown on the right hand corner in the trailer during the final showdown between tonnes of ultron sentry and the Avengers.

 Why am I stepping on my logo?
 My little pose won't harm
 Let's rotate me
 My rear has never been looking this good
 Feel my cool steel body
 My chest is too bland

Hot Toys Avengers: Age of Ultron 1:4 Scale Mark XLIII Collectible

Alright I have to post this news and yes it's another Ironman from Hot Toys. This time around we are introduce with the huge Mark XLIII (43) and it's in 1/4 scale with an added impressive ultron sentry base. The good thing about this figure is the poseability and it's really a great news as most 1/4 scale figures these days are statues or with only a very limited articulations.

It also included Tony Stark 1/4 scale head sculpt which is a great bonus. Moreover, there are quite a lot of openable flaps and nice lighting features. I think Hot Toys has improve the paint scheme with this figure by including some nicely wear and tear battle worn look.

It's quite amazing that with just a minor change in colour scheme from Mark 42 while retaining the overall body suit design, the Mark 43 looks way much better. I guess gold colour don't really represent the real ironman in my opinion.

I'm gonna pee on this
Ultron might just crash his nuts
This is my colour
Suck on this Ultron
Come eat this
Oops no more juice again,...Jarvis
We are in ruins
Bam! Bang! my signature pose
Take this!
Flaps up Let's roll
I'm skiing with this
I need a hat
