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.

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. ...

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 Guyver Action Figure- Max Factory Guyver Bio Fighter Collection 10 Review

Written By Jax. Pics Courtesy of Donnay Packaging for Maxfactory Bio Fighter Collection 10 Gigantic Guyver Figure is the same as that of the previous Gigantic Dark Guyver Figure . There are openings on the side of the package so that you can see the accessories more clearly. I guess the only reason for doing that is to tempt collectors more : ) Despite his size, the Gigantic Guyver is super articulated. Joints at the elbows allow for bending more then 90 degrees. The green gravitational boosters on the body are translucent and looks as if they are pulsating with energy. Once again, Max Factory has impressed me with the details on the Gigantic Guyver's face. No paint bleeding of any sort can be seen. All the details on the face are captured. The head can not only tilt downwards as in previous figures. Gigantic Dark Guyver and Gigantic Guyver can both tilt their heads upwards by around 45 degrees, opening up new possibi...
