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...

Gigantic Dark Guyver III Action Figure- Max Factory Guyver Bio Fighter Collection 09 Review

Written by Jax Pics Courtesy of Donnay The packaging for the Gigantic Dark Guyver is as shown. Box art looks great, and all the accessories can be seen through the clear display window. The Gigantic Dark Guyver comes with GigaSmasher changeable part, Gravity ram (long and short), Two interchangeable heads, one with sonic orbs closed and one open, three high frequency swords for each arm, interchangeable wrist parts (fist, grab, and hold), and an improved display stand (more on this) After spending about 10 mins untying all the wiring binding the Gigantic Dark Figure, he is finally released from his plastic prison and ready for action! But first let me point out a personal experience I had with the Gigantic Dark Guyver's High Frequency Blades. Everyone should take note of this. The three blades on the arm work this way. The longest and second longest blades have holes on the ends of the blades it self. On the arms there are corresponding pegs whe...

Aptom Ver IV Action Figure- Max Factory Guyver Bio Fighter Collection 02 Review

Written by Jax. Pics Courtesy of Donnay In my opinion, the Aptom Figure from Max Factory Bio Fighter Collection Toy series is one of the most underrated figures in this series. Packaging is the same as the previous release of Guyver III , therefore, no cuts or tears are needed to the box to get the Aptom Figure out. The Aptom figure comes with interchangeable fists, palm and hold (right side only). It also comes with wings, three head parts (normal, beam and missile), bio missles for both shoulders and wrists. One thing to note though is that there is a slight difference between the wings shown in the stock photos and the actual Aptom figure .The wings in the stock photos look like they are white, with black lines highlighting the veins on the wings but the actual product looks like the one below, yellow wings. I think that the ones in the stock pictures look better and more realistic, but it's not a big enough difference to irritate me. Posing t...
