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.

  • Authentic and detailed likeness of Ben Affleck as Batman in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice

Toy Review: Max Factory Figma Guyver I Figure vs Maxfactory Bio Fighter Collection Guyver I Figure

I have been a collector of the Maxfactory Bio Fighter Collection Guyver figures for many years now and it was only recently that the Figma Guyver I  came to my attention. Even though I have seen pictures of the Figma Guyver I figure for a while, I had always thought that it was just a scaled down version of the previous Bio Fighter Collection Guyver I figure. It turns out that I was wrong and there are many differences between the old and new Guyver figure and the  Figma Guyver I   could be a good start to a promising toy line. In terms of scale, the Figma Guyver I figure is smaller than the BFC Guyver I figure but the differences do not stop here. Articulation and paint job wise, the Figma version is fantastic and even more articulated than the BFC version. For example, the Figma Guyver I can actually perform a high kick and a split which the BFC Guyver I is not able to, due to the very hard rubber located near the waist. Also, you can switch o...

Zoalord Pluqstahl Figure-Max Factory Guyver Bio Fighter Collection 11 Review

Written by Jax. Pics Courtesy of Donnay The packaging for the Lightning Zoalord Pluqstahl Action Figure has been reverted back to the previous designs like Guyvers I,II,III etc. I like this packaging design more so this got me pretty happy to begin with. Once again, I would like to emphasize that in order to get the   Pluqstahl Action Figure   out of the box, no cuts or tears are needed. So the toy maintains much of its value even after it has been removed from the box and is no longer considered mint in sealed box. Though of course a brand new Guyver Figure is still worth more then one that has been displayed. The eyes this time round no longer employs the reflective paint seen in the  Guyver Figures  as well as the Zoalord Gyout. Would have preferred Max Factory to build on the good points in past figures and retain it in future figures. Lots of intricate details on the face and the essense of the character is very well capture in t...

Guyver Figure- Guyver III Max Factory Bio Fighter Collection 01 Review

Written By Jax. Pics Courtesy of Donnay The Guyver Figures from the Max Factory Bio Fighter Collection are one of the coolest toy figures I have ever came across. The  Guyver III Bio Fighter Collection Series 01 (Max Factory)  is the first figure of this series. Lets review it point by point: Packaging: I personally love the packaging for this series. The outer layer is a transparent box which offers protection for the second layer. The second layer is the packaging which houses the plastic covers that sandwiches the Guyver III within it. It really looks good on display with all the printouts of the images of the toy itself, as well as display of the arsenal of interchangable arms and blades(more on this later). What is best is that you do not need to make any cuts or tears to the box in order to get the toy out. This means that if at any point you do not want to display the  Guyver III  figure any more, you can just pack it back in to the box just l...
