Batgirl

As mentioned since these female figures are much thinner than the male figures, the joints do tend to stand out a bit.

Batgirls neck, shoulder, biceps, elbows, forearms, abdominal, waist, hips, thighs, knees and ankles.


The neck joint is a little difficult to move, mainly because the hair sculpt restricts it a little.

Mr. Freeze

This was not a new sculpt when it was released.

There have been a number of repaints for this figure that i can recall which adds to the complaints of Mattel re using or recycling the same figures and parts.

It was originally released in the 2003 Mattel Batman figure toy line.

One variant with goggles, and one without.

It was released again with a new paint job in 2006 in the DC Superheroes toy line in series 3 and then finally this exclusive figure came out a year later in 2007.

Killer Croc

cRoc is a bit of a re-release with a few modifications.

Before the DCSH toy line, Mattel had a line of Batman figures going and there was a Killer Croc figure.

When the DCSH line came out in 2006 they improved Croc with a new head and paint job and did away with his tail.

Guitar Hero Figures

photo of what looks to be some upcoming Guitar Hero figures from McFarlane.

If you scan the photo you'll notice quite a few guitars, what look like super-deformed mini figures that may be the smaller figures mentioned in last week's product announcement and the most interesting item, Slash.

Since one of the figures in the lineups was listed as TBA speculation could mean that this Slash figure may slot into that lineup, however this may not be the case and it could also be an individual release.

This does open the door to a whole new realm of possibilities, though. Even though it's not Guitar Hero III as everything else shown thus far has been, could Guitar Hero Aerosmith figures be far off?

Spawn Resin toys

McFarlane Toys foray into high-end collectibles continues with their second 8"-scale resin statue,

Spawn: The Beginning, based on one of the original pieces of promo artwork for Spawn. It will be limited to 1,500 pieces total.

Currently, you can preorder either the signature edition, limited to 500 pieces, or the regular edition, at 1,000 pieces.

Legendary Collection - Brute Chieftain

McFarlane has launched its newest Halo 3 line: Legendary Collection.

Previous Halo 3 figures from Mcfarlane were well articulated, about 5 inches and ranged from $10 -$15. The previous lines were too small for me, so I waited for the Legendary line. The Legendary figures are bigger, limited articulation, and of course, the dynamic posse.

Pretty much what you expect from a McFarlane line. But this time around, the figures costs around $20. Is it worth the price?

While older McFarlane packages were about saving shelf space, The Legendary Collection will take up space.

Comes in a square box, with the front clearly displaying the Brute Chieftain while the back shows information about the character and the other two figures in the line: Master Chief and Arbiter.

The Brute Chieftain stands 7.5 inches and looks like he's about to crush a poor soul with his gravity hammer. It's a cool looking dynamic pose and really captures the Brute's intensity.

The Chieftain comes with his traditional red and orange armor. The armor is very detailed and plenty of layers.

The different layers really make the armor look heavy.
Paint job is decent but it could have used more blackwash.

The prototype had deep blacks while this figure's blacks and grays blend.

The orange and red colors on the armor are perfectly balanced.

Colors are spot on and there's no bleeding. I just wish there were more different shades of black, it would have added more depth to the figure

The Brute Chieftain comes with a base, a removable helmet and his deadly gravity hammer. The removable helmet is a nice touch. The gravity hammer is as detailed as the rest of the figure. Be careful when you assemble the hammer. Mine broke when I connected the two halves together and moved the right hand. Super glue will fix the problem but it's very fragile.

I can't recommend this figure to anyone but hardcore Halo fans.

I expected the figure to be a bit bigger. But to McFarlane's defense, it is proportioned to other 6 inch figures.

It's just that other lines from McFarlane such as Twisted X-Mas and Oz were bigger in scale and had better paint jobs and cheaper. If this figure was $15, I'd give it a solid B+ but since it's $5 more, I'll give it an average score.

Girls Of The Geneva Motor Show 2009

Part of the reason why us guys love motor shows so much is because of the showgirls.

The cars take center stage of course, but looking at all that steel, aluminum and carbon fiber does get your eyes a lil tired.

MMS DX Joker Unveiled

This being April Fools', I tend to regard every news I come across with a bit of caution and skepticism. But since this has already made its way onto Hot Toys' very own website, I think it's safe to say that this is the real deal.

Funny, however, how Hot Toys have chosen to announce this April Fools'. A fitting salute to those who bought the original Joker figure perhaps?

Anyhow, as speculated by many (myself included), MMS DX Joker will indeed feature a re-released version of the original Joker figure with the movie-accurate head sculpt as well as the "Police Officer" version. As the photos will attest and as is the case with recent Hot Toys releases, this new and improved Joker looks absolutely breath-taking.

Comes with loads of accessories of course, such as the M1 Garland Rifle, grenades, knives, belts and cards. But more interestingly, it also features something Hot Toys calls Parallel Eyeball Rolling System (PERS). What this really means is adjustable eyeballs so that the figures look more life-like.

Enterbay, I recall, has something similar. There's a thought.

MMS DX Joker is set for a Q2-Q3 release and interested folks should keep a lookout for pre-order solicitations. Expect to fork out more than the usual S$230 for this beauty.

Revenge of the Fallen Transformers 2

Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen is an upcoming science fiction film due for release on June 26, 2009. It is the sequel to 2007’s Transformers, which was the first live action Transformers film. Michael Bay and Steven Spielberg return respectively as director and executive producer, while Shia LaBeouf reprises the role of Sam Witwicky, the human caught in the war between Autobots and Decepticons. The film introduces many more robots and the scope has been expanded to numerous countries, the most important of which is Egypt.

The main hurdle in getting the film produced was overcoming the 2007–2008 Writers Guild of America strike, as well as possible strikes by the Directors Guild of America and the Screen Actors Guild. Bay met his shooting date with the help of previsualization and a scriptment by his writers Roberto Orci, Alex Kurtzman, and series newcomer Ehren Kruger. Shooting from May to November 2008 predominantly took place in the United States, including the majority of scenes set in outside countries, a minimum of which was conducted in those actual nations.

PREMISE
Sam Witwicky (Shia LaBeouf) discovers something about the origins of the Transformers and their history on Earth. The evil Decepticons need to capture him for information. The climactic battle takes place at the Giza pyramid complex, where a temple is located within. Lorenzo di Bonaventura explained the film will show the Transformers who visited Egypt before the pyramids were built, and “all our heroes end up here because of the Decepticons’ masterplan.” Furthermore, Egyptian hieroglyphs resembling helicopters and other present day vehicles in real life will be explained in the film as being depictions of those Ancient Cybertronians who visited Earth.

Final Fantasy XIII

It seems that Square Enix have been doing a little updating upon the official website for Final Fantasy XIII.

It is now a complete flash site integrated with scrolling images, which come in high quality upon the main page, a separate character page which unfortunately only lists Lightning, Snow and Vanille, but contains HQ CG Character models along with HQ screenshots, some old and some new.

And to top it all of, its all accompanied by some beautiful background music which has not yet to have been heard until now.

It’s here! It’s arrived! It’s time! The 442nd chapter of the Japanese Naruto manga series has been released, fresh from the pages of the Weekly Shonen Jump Magazine, hot off the scanner, all nice and translated in to English for your enjoyment!

Entitled: The Last Gamble!! - this chapter is, as usual, available to absolutely any Naruto fan who wishes to read it.

Minato Namikaze

Minato Namikaze (Namikaze Minato), also known as Konoha’s Yellow Flash ( Konoha no Kiiroi Senkō), was the Fourth Hokage (Yondaime Hokage), and the father of Naruto Uzumaki. He was the student of Jiraiya and the teacher of Kakashi Hatake, Obito Uchiha, and Rin.

According to those who knew him, Minato was a very talented ninja, having been considered a genius that appeared once a generation. Graduated from the Academy at the age of ten, he came under the tutelage of Jiraiya, and under his guidance, learned to develop his skills. Impressed with Minato’s determination to succeed, Jiraiya took it upon himself to make him his apprentice and teach the latter his skills, including the Toad Summoning Technique. Minato quickly mastered the technique, being the only person to fully control Gamabunta, a feat not even his sensei or his son could do as of now. His skills would further grow with the development of his own jutsu, including the Rasengan, though never completed to his full intentions, and the Flying Thunder God Technique.

After attaining the rank of Jonin, Minato was given direction of his own team, which consisted of Kakashi Hatake, Rin and Obito Uchiha. Along with Kakashi, Minato’s reputation greatly increased during the Third Great Shinobi War, where his skills earned him the moniker of Konoha’s Yellow Flash.

As a gift for Kakashi’s advancement to Jonin, Minato gave him a unique kunai marked with one of the Flying Thunder God transportation markers. Shortly afterwards, he informed the team of their mission: destroy a bridge that aided the enemy Rock ninja force. For the mission, Kakashi took Minato’s place as commander of the team while he went to a different battlefield, where he was able to defeat a large number of Iwagakure ninja singlehandedly. His team, however, was unable to complete their mission, as differences between Obito and Kakashi lead the team to be caught in a trap. Obito was unable to survive the mission. Instead, helping Kakashi save Rin by giving Kakashi his Sharingan eye before being completely crushed by rocks. When Rin used Kakashi’s kunai, Minato arrived and easily defeated the Iwagakure ninja. Unfortunately, by the time he arrived, Obito was already dead, though he managed to save Kakashi and Rin. They would later go on to fulfill their mission and help repel the invasion.
