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.
