12" DAVY JONES

prison break from some sushi bar, this lucky (tako + crab) ahemm, i mean davy jones finally land on hand. It's so fresh and slimy that you can still smell the rubber when its out of the box. Other than the hated, wire-twisted box design, this i hope completes my collection of 12" pirates from hottoys. Nothing to complain, its a rating 4/5 from moi :)

Iron Man's Adventures

(comic alliance)
This cool Iron Man cartoon over at the new site Marvelkids.com looks to be the first of three CGI cartoons by ULTIMATE ALLIANCE animators Blur Studios. In their website, there's also several animations & cinematics they've worked on, so drop by and take a look at their reel.


This animation rocks, really nicely done up though (hopefully) it will take few year (or ages *sigh) for us to see them crossover in a big epic marvel movie. Meantime, we have this animation to quench our thirst. Enjoy~~!!

Hot Toys 1/6 The Dark Knight Exclusive 1st Look

A Figures.com Exclusive FIRST LOOK!

Hot Toys will be releasing numerous figures and collectibles based on The Dark Knight, the forthcoming sequel to the fan-favorite 2005 film Batman Begins. Now, we're proud to show fans the first images of two of the new Movie Masterpiece Series 1:6 scale figures based on the film: The Dark Knight (Original Costume) Batman (above) and The Dark Knight Joker (below)...



Both figures accurately capture each character in perfect 1:6 scale, standing approximately 12" tall, and featuring over 32 points of articulation thanks to the Hot Toys "True Type" action figure body, which allows each figure to assume the poses seen in the film.

Batman's headsculpt and the original Bat-suit have been newly developed for The Dark Knight release and fit the "True Type" body perfectly while the highly realistic head sculpture and paint applications on The Joker feature his cold stare, evil intent and remarkable painted face and scars.

Overall, his 1:1 collection & display is tasteful & amazing, i trust it's any toy collector's dream :P
Anyway, this book came as a surprise while browsing Commercial Press bookshop at THE CATHAY last evening before watching Speedracer. Was quite skeptical that it might be another idol photo book but instead impressed by his thoughts & writing. So, it's quite a good read.
Below is a short video regarding his new book, enjoy...
