Hot Toys The Dark Knight Rises - DX12 1/6 Batman

The DX line are known to be the top of the line collectables from Hot Toys. It's exclusive and it's expensive, and I manage to own one.

"The Batman/ Bruce Wayne collectible is newly developed and highly detailed, specially crafted based on the image of Christian Bale as the iconic character Batman/ Bruce Wayne, highlighting the movie-accurate head sculpt, Parallel Eyeball Rolling System (PERS) on Batman's head, specially made fabric costume with armor based on the costume design in the movie, weapons and accessories." - Hot Toys.

I've missed the chance to get DX02, 1/6 Batman from The Dark Knight movie, when it was released a year back and I've been mournful ever since. Luckily an opportunity presents itself when Hot Toys obtain the rights for The Dark Knight Rises movie and produce a 1/6th scale Batman once again.

It's heavy.

Second tray consist of custom base, user guide, PERS adjuster, crotch holder/stand and cape. 

Love the PERSystem.

Alas, the EMP gun doesn't light up that well.

An update to Christian Bale's head sculpt which looks even more movie accurate.

Those who collects Hot Toys figure knows the amount of detail that have been put into their toy line and this is no exception. This is by far the nearest representation of an iconic character from an iconic movie done in a miniature scale.
Personally, the price point for this fine collectable is pretty steep. Yes the quality and the detail of the figure is the best there is, but the quantity of the collectables doesn't feels like it would make up for the higher price.

Next, DX11. Hi,hi,hi,hi,hi,hi,hi,hi!! 

Square Enix Play Arts 'Kai' Halo - Master Chief

Envisioned by Square Enix Product.

I honestly doesn't know which line or series this is, but I believe it is one of many.

Please correct me otherwise.

This here is Master Chief, the one from Halo. Those who has an Xbox 360 would know him. Those who play video games would also know of him.

The Halo action figure were made mostly by McFarlanes. Now Squere Enix comes out with its Halo line starting with the Halo : Reach series. It has a few flaws in terms of loose joints in some areas. This time, they manage to rectify those problems with a tighten, but not too loose, rachet joints which manage to give the figure a few awesome pose.

The packaging is different than the other Play Art lineup. It has a flip out lid.

Cool.

To commemorate the 10 year anniversary of Halo.

Weapons.

The M6D pistol.

MA5B standard issue assault rifle.

Do you feel lucky, punk?

Wait for it......

......now dance!

I was so excited when I found out Play Arts will be making him. It doesn't dissapoint.

Most of the flaws were rectify from the previous Halo line & much more. The colour looks more like an amour. The rachet joints feels tight & responsive.

The packaging is another plus. Me likey.

However, the feet looks a little too small though. And since the top is heavy it can topple over easily. So you have to find that sweet spot when posing it. Not a biggie.

Square Enix Play Arts [Kai] Halo : Reach - Vol. 2

Its done. Square Enix Play [Kai] for Halo : Reach is complete.

The haul is that of late, but better late than never. 

This here is the 2nd wave which consist of Carter, leader of the Noble Team, Jorge & Kat, the only human female in the Halo universe. 

CARTER

JORGE

KAT

The only figure that has booty.

The issue I have for the series is that the ball joints tends to get loose in time. This may due to some figures which is top heavy or the socket is, well, loose.

I had to use Future floor polish on the ball joint which actually works well.

To see the other Noble Team members, here's the link for the series 1.

Thank you for visiting.

Figma Mirai Suenaga

This is kinda a late entry for Mirai, and my blog, as she's already been in the market for some time now.
Anyway, Mirai Suenaga is Danny Choo's brainchild and 'ambassador' to dannychoo.com. Danny's extensive coverage on Goodsmile Company manage to secure Mirai as one of the figma family.
Not much o' accessories that comes with it. It has a crying face, a laptop, a right-hand-holding-a-camera, a left-hand-holding-a-handkerchief, a teeny tiny Mirai dollfie, and a few alternate hands.
