you can see the the edge of his L) arm starting to peel. :/

Might just have slipped out from under the glove, but that's something I find really worrying with how complex some of these Hot Toys outfits are getting - how long can something that intricate and delicate really last?

Someone on the Deadpool thread it looks similar to the stealth Captain American and needs to be tucked in.

Certainly appears that way.

Those are superb. Really like Ra's and Gordon.

Great looking figure.

Shame this suit will not stand the test of time from the looks of it.

you guys should watch "train to busan".


its a korean 28 days later/dawn of the dead 2004 in a train.

 

[Snake Plissken]

Eh not bad. Better looking than most zombie stuff I've seen in the last 10 years.

Just reminds me TWD is coming back on and those ads will be shoved down all our throats again...

 

[fosing]

its like the world war z that should have been....but the premise is different. :]

the intro is an ode to bambi road kill. with an into like that i knew it was gonna be good.haha

 

[Snake Plissken]

Korean horror can't do no wrong in any one of them I've seen.

 

[fosing]

hollywood always remake korean horror...and sometimes screw it up.

this time around, korean dabbles with zombie/infected apocalypse-ish, and damn it was good.
jason bourne was a bit bland, suicide skwad bordering wtmeh, this was something i needed.
and to think there was barely any guns involved in this fast paced zombie flick.

 

[Snake Plissken]

It's with any Asian horror really they love remaking. The only one I liked more than the original was The Grudge and The Ring. At least it was actually in Japan and not morphed to fit a US location.

 

[Shawpaw]

I'm sure some American would remake The Audition lol

 

[Snake Plissken]

That got announced two years ago... ugh.

It took me a few weeks to shake the piano wire scene.

 

[GeneralZodLives]

I haven't picked any of these up yet but that Gordon is really tempting. I like the look of their Michael Ironside DKR figure too...



I'd probably only order through Sideshow for exclusives, and even then it's usually cheaper to just pick them up from Asian resellers. I'll put some money aside, there's a comic shop in the next city over that gets Hot Toys figures in stock and then can never sell them. Granted it'll be a bit overpriced if they have one but still less than the FedEx+customs bilking I'd be hit with through SS.

Alternatively, I could just pick up the Mezco version next year - seems to be the direction my collection's heading in

Hopefully Mezco will get stuff out on time in the future. Everything they have up for preorder has been pushed back. Considering how many new figures were on display at SDCC, it could be a very long time before any of them are actually in our hands.

I wish the Olympics weren't over. I miss judging athletes that have achieved the pinnacle of human physical conditioning while I sit on my ass eating Domino's pizza.

I'm lucky to stay afloat.

 

[Pro Design]

I was actually an excellent swimmer and could stay under water for longer than most folks. All that went away when I started smoking. Thank you Solid Snake!
