SH Figuarts Bandai Tamashii Nations The Dark Knight Toy Figure Review

The Dark Knight Trilogy by Christopher Nolan starring Christian Bale as Batman is one of my all time favorite movie series. Now, SH Figuarts has released a Batman figure featuring the armor from the second installment of The Dark Knight Trilogy and the result is awesome.

I'm glad that Bandai Tamashii Nations released the Batman figure based on the armor from the second series because it features separation of the protective plates for better agility and speed. The separation of his cowl from his body armor also allows Batman to turn his head.

The great design of the Batsuit from the movie has now translated to a great S.H. Figuarts Batman "The Dark Knight" toy figure.

I personally think that the sculpt of the SH Figuarts The Dark Knight figure is spot on and highly detailed. It is a good substitution for Hot Toys Batman figures for collectors who are not into 12 inch figures or have space or budget constraints.

In terms of facial sculpt, the SH Figuarts The Dark Knight figure has already done a pretty good job in capturing Christian Bale's features. For this price, you don't expect Hot Toys standards.

Accessories are a bit lacking and the figure comes with the sticky bomb gun featured in the Hong Kong scene where Batman broke into the building to kidnap Lau back to Gotham to stand trial. You can tell that it looks decent enough for this scale. Other accessories are two batarangs, one grappling hook and a few interchangeable heads and hand parts and that's about it.

The cape on the S.H. Figuarts Batman "The Dark Knight" is made of real fabric and there are some wires inside it which can be shaped to help with posing. Just look at this pose with his cape that looks like it is flapping in the wind. SH Figuarts really put in some thought into this figure instead of just releasing him with a piece of fabric attached.

The S.H. Figuarts Batman "The Dark Knight" figure is available for Sale on Amazon.com. It stands around 15cm tall and is highly articulated and a must have for any Batman lover.

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...
