"Enough of this. Vader, release him!" - Hot Toys Grand Moff Tarkin and Darth Vader Star Wars Figures

Hot Toys has released a Star Wars: A New Hope Figure set containing both iconic characters Grand Moff Tarkin and Darth Vader.I think these two characters require no further introduction.

Hot Toys has included all the necessary accessories required to re-enact scenes from the Star Wars A New Hope Movie. I think toys are a great way to somehow own a part of the movie, be a part of the characters that I like from movies. Having a Darth Vader toy figure that I can pose with and "play" with some how satisfies my childhood fantasy of wanting to be this bad ass character to a certain extent.

I admit, quite embarrassingly, that I do still secretly perform voice-overs and read out lines from the movie when I pose and play with some toys. Does any adult do that openly? Sometimes I would be hiding in my room, posing my Hot Toys Star Wars Darth Vader, and I would read out loud classic quotes  from the Star Wars movie. Even my facial expressions would change as I get so into the character, only to hear my wife letting out a laugh from behind me. She had entered the room silently and caught me in the act! We would all have a big laugh about it.

The Hot Toys Star Wars Grand Moff Tarkin and Darth Vader Sixth Scale Figure set allows me to do just that. I imagine having many hours of fun acting out scenes from the movie while hiding secretly in my room. Muhahaha!!




Tarkin: Princess Leia, before your execution, I would like you to be my guest at a ceremony that will make this battle station operational. No star system will dare oppose the Emperor now.

 Leia: The more you tighten your grip, Tarkin, the more star systems will slip through your fingers.

Tarkin: Not after we demonstrate the power of this station. In a way, you have determined the choice of the planet that will be destroyed first. Since you are reluctant to provide us with the location of the Rebel base, I have chosen to test this station's destructive power on your home planet of Alderaan.

Leia: [shocked] No! Alderaan is peaceful. We have no weapons. You can't possibly–

 Tarkin: You would prefer another target? A military target?! Then name the system! [stepping closer to Leia and pinning her against Darth Vader] I grow tired of asking this, so it will be the last time. Where is the Rebel base?

Leia: [looks at Alderaan for a moment, then, resigned] Dantooine. They're on Dantooine.

 Tarkin: There. You see, Lord Vader? She can be reasonable. [to assistant] Continue with the operation. You may fire when ready.





Darth Vader: Her resistance to the mind probe is considerable.


Darth Vader: I find your lack of faith disturbing. [ force choke in progress]

Tarkin: That's enough. Vader, release him!

Darth Vader: As you wish.






Darth Vader: And now,Your Highness, we will discuss the location of your hidden Rebel base.

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...

Toy Review: Dawn of Justice Hot Toys Gal Gadot Wonder Woman 1/6th Scale Movie Masterpiece Figure

The Hot Toys Wonder Woman Figure looks very impressive indeed. Gal Gadot really carried the Wonder Woman character very well and I'm really excited that she has been given the Hot Toys treatment. This movie accurate Hot Toys Wonder Woman Figure is crafted with likeness to actress Gal Gadot as Wonder Woman in the movie Dawn of Justice. I love that the hair on the figure is using real fabric hair instead of sculpted hair and it looks very natural on the figure. The  Hot Toys Wonder Woman Figure  also comes with very detailed sculpting with her signature tiara, battle armor and weapons. It also comes with a Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice themed figure stand. There are no obvious ugly joints on the figure and it is sure to look very good on display. Even though the sculpt on Hot Toys figures have always been of high quality, I do hope that the final product will be further improved. Looking at all these close ups of the  Hot Toys Wonder W...

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. ...
