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 killed. It is no surprise then that the armor took on extensive damage during the fight and the Hot Toys Armored Batman (Battle Damaged Version) did a fantastic job replicating the scene from the movie.



This version of the Armored Batman is inspired by the 1986 Dark Knight Series by Frank Miller. It features permanent luminescent lenses concealing the eyes in the Batman V Superman movie and the Hot Toys Armored Batman (Battle Damaged Version) comes with LED Light Up eyes. The other half of Batman's cowl is damaged, revealing a portion of his face, done to the likeness of Ben Affleck. This is probably one of the coolest Batman Vs Superman toys in the market now.



Other than offering physical protection, the Armored Batman also offers protection of Batman's identity. The inside of the Armored Batman's cowl is said to be lined with lead to prevent Superman from finding out Batman's true identity as Bruce Wayne using his X-ray vision.



In the fight scene from Batman V Superman - Dawn of Justice, the Armored Batman first tried to spring a series of traps from sonic cannons to machine guns to incapacitate or slow down Superman, to no avail. However, Batman eventually launched his Kryptonite grenades at Superman, who caught it, causing the Kryptonite gas to explode in his face. This was most likely anticipated by Batman that Superman would be complacent and would be able to catch the grenades launched at him, thinking that nothing could hurt him. The Hot Toys Armored Batman (Battle Damaged Version) comes with the grenade launcher and the Kryptonite grenades as part of the accessories. 




The likeness to Ben Affleck is pretty well done in the Hot Toys Armored Batman and you know that Hot Toys sets high standards when it comes to this. The battle damage on the front chest plate, the weathering and damage on the cowl are very well done. The Hot Toys Armored Batman (Battle Damage Version) also comes with a newly tailored damaged cape to complete the look. 



Even though the Hot Toys Armored Batman action figure looks pretty bulky, it features 30 points of articulation and as you can see, this Hot Toys Batman V Superman action figure has no problem with pose-ability. Standing at 33 cm tall, it will most likely be a center piece of your display in the years to come.

Toy Review: Bandai Tamashii Nations S.H. Figuarts Piccolo Dragonball Z Action Figure

The S.H Figuarts Piccolo figure is a fantastic figure at a fantastic price. First released in Novemeber 2009, this figure had a recommended retail price of USD$45. Surprisingly, this beautiful  S.H Figuarts Piccolo figure   and can still be found on  Amazon.com   at a very reasonably $35 dollars at the point of writing. Looking closely at the  S.H Figuarts Piccolo figure , you can tell that Bandai did a fantastic job and they really captured the feel of Piccolo very well. The figure itself stands at around 170mm and comes with many accessories that you can mix and match, making it a very fun figure to have. He comes with interchangeable hands, face and his iconic costume with turban and cape.  Also, I think Piccolo looks very nice with folded arms which is also included. The  S.H Figuarts Piccolo figure   is very articulated and the joints are smooth, making posing easy.  A small regret is that the  S.H Fig...

Zoaloard Gyuot/Guyot Action Figure with Unito Remover - Max Factory Guyver Bio Fighter Collection 07 Review

Written by Jax. Pics Courtesy of Donnay The packaging for the Zoalord Gyout has been changed and replaced with what you see here. A blue paper box with the plastic casing housed inside.. I personally do not like the packaging because it apppears more low end and it breaks the continuity from the previous  Guyver Figures . But as soon as I opened the box and held the Gyuot figure in my hands, I fell in love with him immediately. The eyes are painted with orange reflective paint so that it glows under certain lighting. The Zoa Crystal and the gravitation orbs are made of a certain translucent material that seems to glow even though you know that they are not really glowing. I was elated to see that Gyuot had tons of accessories. The  Zoalord Gyout  comes with chest armour plates which you can attach on by removing Gyuot's head and wearing it over his shoulders. He also comes with armour for the shoulders, wrists, knees and legs. It gives him a really majestic lo...

Bandai Tamashii Nations - SH Figuarts DBZ Majin Buu Figure Review

Introduction - SH Figuarts Majin Buu Figure Review   "Buu turn you into candy and eat you!"  The Majin Buu is the final villain in the Dragon Ball Z Manga. Honestly, I did not like the Dragon Ball Z Majin Buu Saga when I read the manga as a kid. I felt that the author should have ended the manga after the Cell Arc. All the different forms of the Majin Buu such as Kid Buu, Super Buu (Evil Buu) , Innocent Buu (Fat Buu or Zen Buu) as well as the other intermediate forms as Buu absorbed other characters really got me thinking that the author was   running out of ideas. Nevertheless, the character design is pretty unique and the SH Figuarts Majin Buu (Fat Buu or Zen version) captured this very well.  Packaging I knew that the SH Figuarts Majin Buu was going to be a big figure but when I received the actual figure, I was pleasantly surprised that it was HUGE . The box itself is much larger than the SH Figuarts DBZ Nappa figure. ...
