Toy Review :Hot Toys Wolf Predator (Heavy Weaponry) Alien Vs Predator Requiem 1/6 Scale Figure

The "Wolf" Predator was featured in the movie Alien Vs Predator: Requiem. The Wolf Predator was a highly experienced elite hunter and arrived on Earth to contain a Xenomorph outbreak after responding to a distress signal from the Scar Predator at the end of the Alien Vs Predator movie. T he Wolf Predator actually got his name from another movie, Pulp Fiction, by Quentin Tarantino. The character in Pulp Fiction, Winston Wolf, was sent to fix a mess that Jules and Vincent had gotten themselves into. Fans were quick to pick up on this and the Wolf Predator got his name because like Winston Wolf, they were both "cleaners" who were sent to clean up the mess and get people out of trouble. The newly announced  Hot Toys Wolf Predator  is true to its source material. In terms of facial sculpt, the Hot Toys Wolf Predator is characterized by a missing mandible on the top left corner of his mouth and the left side of his face is scarred by acid. The d...

Toy Review:Hot Toys Armored Batman (Battle Damaged Version) 1/6 Scale Action Figure - Dawn of Justice

How did Batman manage to fight and almost kill the impossibly strong alien, Superman, in the Batman V Super Man - Dawn of Justice movie? It takes the Armored Batman to accomplish this feat and let us take a look at how the Hot Toys Armored Batman manages to bring this character to life. This is the Hot Toys Armored Batman (Battle Damaged Version) and he includes one cool accessory which is the Kryptonite Spear which lights up with LED. The Kryptonite Spear was crafted by Batman (Bruce Wayne) from Kryptonite stolen from LexCorp. Batman then used the Kryptonite Spear against Superman and almost killed him. This fight is the climax of the Batman V Superman - Dawn of Justice movie. Against a powerful opponent such as Superman, the Armored Batman was not a mecha suit for Batman to level the playing field against Superman in terms of strength which we know is impossible. Instead, its purpose was for self preservation and more of a suit necessary to prevent Batman from getting ki...

Toy Review:Max Factory Figma Guyver III Figure vs Max Factory BFC Guyver III Figure

The Figma Guyver III figure's release date was on July/2017 but I have not yet had the chance to see it in any local stores selling anime figures and most of the online stores already sold out on their pre orders. I guess I would have to wait for a while more before the  Figma Guyver III figure  hits local shores. Amazon does have Figma Guyver figures for sale and it is always good to check them out from time to time. Now this first picture here of the Figma Guyver III crossing his arms made me go "Wow!". For collectors new to the Max Factory Guyver Figures, it is worth noting that this was a pose which could never be achieved by the Max Factory Bio Fighter Collection Guyver III , due to the in-flexible chest piece which blocked the arms from crossing each other entirely. The  Figma Guyver III figure  however, achieves this by having an inter-changeable chest plate which makes more space around the arm pit area and inter-changeable arms molded in the fo...

Toy Review: SH Figuarts Nappa Dragon Ball Z Action Figure - Bandai Tamashii Nations

The S.H. Figuarts Nappa Dragonball Z Figure  is beautifully sculpted and really captures his destructive, violent and cocky personality. The thing about S.H Figuarts Dragonball Z figure is that all of them replicate expressions of the characters really well and it really feels like you interacting with the actual characters from the manga when you play with the figures. Nappa was an elite Saiyan soldier from Planet Vegeta and  Vegeta's  partner in combat in the Dragonball Z manga.  Vegeta and Nappa received a distress call from Raditz ( Son Goku's biological brother ) when he was defeated by Piccolo and Goku. They then got wind of the existence of the Dragonballs and decided to attack Planet Earth. The  S.H. Figuarts Nappa Dragonball Z Figure  comes with a display stand and an effect part for his Blazing Storm Attack which is great because S.H Figuarts Dragonball Z figures rarely come with additional effect parts. The interchangeable han...
