I think it should be no surprise to anyone by now that Hot Toys is the #1 ranked, overall undisputed champion of making movie related 12" figures. If you didn't collect Hot Toys, I would totally understand. They are really pricey, with the lower priced selections easily topping the $150.00 price tag. They are difficult to obtain. In fact, most can't be bought at stores here in America, only online from Sideshow Toys, Ebay, or other select online retailers. But I tell you, if you have the means, they are unbelievable. They are constantly striving for increased realism and innovation. Don't believe me? Check out the new Joker, with translucent glass eyes that are poseable. You read that right, articulated eyeballs. An the newly released Don Vito Corleone from the classic film, "The Godfather" is so realistic that you can count the aging Don's liver spots.
Which brings me to Havey Dent. Ol' Harv here should be shipping via Diamond Distributors to comic shops sometime in the next month. You not only get the perfect Two-Face, but you get the full compliment of accessories to display him as his previous incarnation Harvey Dent. His revolver opens and spins, his tie is real, and he includes 2 in-scale quarters, one side marred.


















Once you start buying these things, you will find yourself helplessly addicted. Next time we'll look at the Movie Masterpiece Iron Man Mk II. Feel free to email me should you require assistance dealing with your addiction, we're all in the same boat people.
DC Universe Classics series 8, part II
Last time we looked at the first half of DCUC series 8. Tonight we'll look at the rest of them. This is one of my favorite waves. Anytime you get to check a few off the Super Powers redux checklist, life is good. Giganta is the tallest Collect-N-Connect figure to date, and dare I say the prettiest. Of course, next to the likes of Solomon Grundy and Grodd, well, you do the math. Quality control has been very high across the board on this wave, and you will be amazed at how different the two Parademons are, yet how many parts they share. There have been some who have complained that the gloves & cape on the Dr. Fate variant shouldn't be yellow, but gold to match the rest of him, but I remind you all of this fact: Dr. Fate is not a man; Dr. Fate is a mystical helmet and an amulet, not gloves and a cape.
Dr. Fate










Parademons








Gentleman Ghost





Giganta







Four second-generation Justice Society of America heroes are grouped together to make up the second series of action figures based on the art of Alex Ross!

The Cyclone figure stands at 8.25" high and features multiple points of articulation and a base. 4-color peggable window box packaging.
