Hot Toys - DX05 - Indiana Jones (Raiders of the Lost Ark): 1/6th scale Indiana Jones Collectible Figure

Hot Toys - DX05 - Indiana Jones (Raiders of the Lost Ark): 1/6th scale Indiana Jones Collectible Figure

Alright, so here it is.. the first Hot Toys Harrison Ford head sculpt! Failure. I'm in no way trying to be harsh, I'm just saying. I thought this was going to be absolutely spot on.. I was wrong. To me, the head sculpt only looks correct from certain angles. Others not so much. As for now, I will have to pass on this release. Shame! I'm still definitely looking forward to seeing their recently announced Star Wars license. Help us Hot Toys Ltd., you're our only hope (I kid, I kid.. Sideshow rocks!).

Back to Indy, the first picture shows the best resemblance. The next reveals the obvious problematic areas (Hat sits too high, likeness slightly off, thick neck and baggy clothes). Everything else looks very nice. I really like the inter-changeable hair styles (I noticed they're doing this with RE4: Afterlife Alice too). As well as all the many accessories.

On a final note, it seems like it still needs something more. Considering it's a DX and has a price tag of almost $250.00USD, it just feels overly priced and overall lacking. Come to think of it, I wonder if Sideshow Collectible's involvement had anything to do with all the flaws in this product? You never know. Like I said before: MINE? Nope. Enjoy the images.

Hot Toys - Predators: 1/6th Falconer (Falcon Accessory Update)

Hot Toys - Predators: 1/6th Falconer (Falcon Accessory Update)

Along with everyone else - I was furious over two things having to do with the original specifications of this figure. Those two issues being a non-removable helmet and a non-included Falcon accessory. Devastation. So, Hot Toys gives us a generic excuse (Just like with the original Iron Man Mark III BD Version Tony head sculpt!) about how the licensers would not "approve" a removable helmet due to the fact that it was never actually removed in the film. Lame.

At least they tried to remedy the problem by including a sweet 1/6th scale Predator skull, rock on! Now as much as I love this neat little accessory - I still need me a removable helmet, damnit! But, it's an official no go. Regardless, we got the Falcon! Fizzitiuck yeah! The only concern I had in this area was with the solid black color of the support brace for the Falcon accessory (See first picture), which made it look like an antennae of some sort.. not cool. But at last, some final product photos have surfaced online and I'm stoked to say.. it's now clear! Awesomeness! The final result makes for a much better presentation, IMHO.

Even though I really wanted a removable helmet, this character is just way too sick looking to pass up! MINE - will be here in just over a week! Until you all receive yours or in case you need help making a purchasing decision, peep the pictures below.

Hot Toys - Resident Evil 5: 1/6th Scale Jill Valentine (Battle Suit Version) Collectible Figure

Hot Toys - Resident Evil 5: 1/6th Scale Jill Valentine (Battle Suit Version) Collectible Figure

I for one, was totally siked to find out that Hot Toys is continuing their Resident Evil 5 Video Game Masterpiece Series with none-other-than the badass battle suit wearing Jill Valentine! Yes, this version of Jill is amazingly awesome. So finally after all this time, the official Preview pictures have been released!

Personally, I'm absolutely satisfied with every aspect of the figure shown. What I'm disatisfied with, is that which is not shown. Jill's signature RE5 Raven mask/Druid cloak is missing! This cannot be. I happen to think it's a very important attribute, considering it concealed Jill's identity for half the game. I honestly hope Hot Toys reconsiders this mistake. I would gladly pay upwards of $40.00USD for the accessorie(s), just to save me the trouble of customizing them in the future.

Not to mention the fact that for some odd reason Hot Toys decided to include with their upcoming Alice figure, her arctic parka from the Resident Evil: Afterlife movie. Don't get me wrong, it's a welcomed decision.. but to include such a trivial garment with Alice, and then leave Jill all exposed without her mask & cloak, would be an epic failure. With that said, I would like to make it clear that I will without doubt be purchasing Jill Valentine (Battle Suit Version) regardless of whether or not she comes cloaked. Yes, she's just that sexy. See pictures below..

Anyways, hope some of you are as excited as I am. Things should be interesting this year. MINE!
