Portraits of Toyz : Joker anyone?

Joke of the month !!!

This gentleman goes far and high to crack a joke bomb. Where is it ???

This figure came from 90's background produced by Kenner.

What's the Catch? : The Thing !!!

Now is the Chinese Lunar New Year month. Today is the 8th day, 7 days to 15th !!! This Snake year is from the Water element. And let us see what I got.

I got the Thing? Why is he the Thing? Maybe, there is no suitable name than Thing !!!

Got him as a Walmart Exclusive pack. All it came with is the extra piece of cloth wrap around him, a hat and a sunglass. But he does looks great with all these accessories packed in.

Since I only one to have my first and only Thing, I find this version from Toybiz Marvel Legends came top to me.

Simply realistically comical to own. Try It !

Toy Viewing : Jean Grey the Dark Phoenix

From the Marvel Legends produced by Hasbro, they gave us Jean Grey from the X-Men Movie.

She is on the evil mode as I would put it since her make up here is glowing with anger and bursting into flames. It is another variant of the original.

This figure is not very welcoming since her sculpt is on a not so-so side and not a beautiful Jean that you would expect. But looking it hard, she does have some beauty in it. Her hair sculpting and Victorian dress does well and with this version of pale and dark eye-shadow make-up, she can double up in the Twilight movie action figures.

Basically, her outlook and clothes are great enough though not fantastic face sculpt. And if you got her at a reasonable price, she is one considerable figure to pick it up.

 

 

Toy Viewing : She-Hulk

 Who ever wanted a She-Hulk as a girlfriend?

But no fear as she can be yours in this form.

Here is a version from Hasbro, which I think she is just fine compares to the rest of the figures in the line. Nice curves and costume with some gentleness.

Portraits of Toyz : Toys from Hong Kong Convention

These are some of the toys which I came across during my visit to the Hong Kong Comic and Toy Convention during 2007.

Some portraits of them for you to view.

I forgot about their names but if you do, just enlighten me by dropping in the comments. Appreciated.

 

Toy Viewing : Dare Devil of Marvel Legends

A sneak peek of Dare Devil from his portrait bring upon curiosity of his appearance and acts of dare.

He has been part of my Marvel collection since the beginning of Marvel Legends but have stash him away in a box. However, I still have some pictures to share of him except for his diorama which he came with.

Nevertheless, he is a replica of the movie edition which is why I picked him up. I always render movie edition figures as my primary choice of figures if they are worth collecting.

This figure resembles Ben Affleck who starred in the movie and from his face sculpt, you can see his five '0' clock shadow. 

So he is in some acts of fun....

History : Action figure of the 90's - WereWolf

Seeing how far toys technology has advanced over the decades leads us to observe the loss and gain of a toy's playability. In our quest of action figures, figures have gain in numbers of articulation, detail sculpting combine with amazing paint application then bundle in a well design package to attract collectors or children.

Over here, I shall make use of this action figure made in the 90's to show a representation of the fun factor of an action figure back then and we can see how far we are now.

Do you still think he is a great figure now? Appreciate it from then and you will not be surprised on such simple tricks fantasize us. It is just imaginably fun besides the pure appearance. He can still win hands down over some figures produced today.

This is what 90's standard kicks in that sets today's level. Give credits to the heroes back then.

Portraits of Toyz : Dare the Devil

Daredevil from Marvel. Blind but sensitive in all senses.

What's the Catch? : MATRIX APU

Another great find with years of patience and chance upon this APU from the Matrix movie produced by McFarlane.

Almost everybody knows the movie and even watch it. Apart from the plot, McFarlane has produced a truly commendable movie replica of the APU which is cited in the last battle in Zion. This is the APU in Mifune's last stand!

Set aside the movie, the toy itself is insanely packed with details that can be referred to the actual machine however, after going through all the reviews in the market, fragility is the problem here for this menace.

Many suffered breakage even before the release from it's cargo. Bad news !!!

However, nothing can kill the good about this toy for it's detail that comes with it. If you have seen the AMP vehicle from Avatar, you can just stash that aside and put this in the throne of your collection.

Without further a do, I can only show you the box and a movie clip for refreshment.

For time being, I think he is still better off in this window display box.
