Heaps of great pics from the Hot Toys booth at the Tokyo Toy Show 2010 this year. Some sneak peaks of upcoming 1/6 figures as well. Good stuff!

Below are the first pics of 1/6 Iron Man 2 – Mark VI amour

Below is the first pic of 1/6 Hand Landa! Woot! Hope they fix the sculpt though, could be better.

And 1/6 Ghost Rider. The Nicolas Cage version! And it comes with his bike. This looks pretty damm good.

Also 1/6 Chris Taylor from the film Platoon. My fave Vietnam War movie.

And to round up the exclusive looks, 1/6 Royce the latest Predators movie.

There were also other upcoming 1/6 figures on display, Black Widow, Terminator 2 T1000 and Iron Man 2 War Machine. All great looking figures.

More pics can be found at the various links, Akihabara News, Cybergundam, MEDI World.

1:6 Hot Toys Terminator 2 – T1000

He’s one of the more iconic figures from the 90s and trust Hot Toy’s to faithfully recreate the Terminator 2 Judgement Day T1000 in 12 inch scale. The pictures of the figure looks amazingly detailed. No T2 – T800 figure can stand alone without his nemesis! It’s a no brainer, I’m getting this! I’ll let the pics speak for themself.

1:6 Hot Toys Terminator 2 – T800 Unboxed

This has been one figure I’ve been excited about since Hot Toys announced it months back.

The packaging is slick as usual, with a nice gloss finish.

I was pretty impressed with the body and sculpt as soon as I opened the box. Arnie’s body looks to scale, big and strong. heh

Ok, as much as his sculpt is good, it does look a bit off without the glasses. The jacket and pants are fantastic though. It’s amazing how they can replicate the clothes with such detail.

I know in the movie the shotgun was hidden with the flowers in the box, but hey, this looks bad ass!

Look at his rippling muscles! Shaun has more nudie shots showing off the new body. It looks great and pretty close to how Arnie looked in the movie.

And his endoskeleton hand showing! OMG!! This is damm cool lah! The bloody pain job also looks great.

Arnie versus the T800 Endoskeleton.

John Connor with his protector.

So ya, I’m freaking impressed with this new figure from Hot Toys. I can’t wait till they announce a battle damaged version.

Hot Toys Terminator 2 Sarah Connor

Ok, as if we didn’t see this coming, but Hot Toys has announced T2 – Sarah Connor. It does look like her, but I’ll most probably not get this. Purely cause I’ll be saving my moola for the different versions of Arnie! Bring on battle damages T2 Arnie!

Hot Toys Terminator 2 – T800

chaz — Wed, 06 Jan 2010 09:00:43 +0000

Hot Toys has done it again! Welcoming the new year with the official announcement of the T2 T800 figure. It’s Arnold Schwarzenegger at his Terminator best! The head sculpt looks wonderful and with so much detail. Just looking at the pic above you can see the skin tone and shading. Amazing stuff!

Okie, so I’m very sure that Hot Toys will eventually announce a ‘battle damaged’ T800 sometime down the road, with the flesh on Arnie’s head ripped to shreads showing the endoskeleton. It’s part of ‘milking’ us dry. And I’m a sucker for ‘milking. lol Bring it on Hot Toys!

Latest news just in! Shaun just posted the pic above of the upcoming Hot Toys T2 T-800 figure!! Arnie is certainly looking awesome! The sculpt looks perfect. I hope they give us a battle damaged head sculpt with the figure instead of milking us dry by putting out a battle damaged version a few months later!

New Goodies Out of Box and Some Others

There’s nothing better than opening the boxes and taking out your brand new figures for display. The 12 inch Sideshow Star Wars figures I just picked up rock. The finishing and paint jobs are excellent. The bodies are also much better and can actually pose properly.

The EZ Devastator is another figure that impressed me. It’s made up of 7 separate ‘legends’ size figures that can actually transform to robot and vehicle mode. And when combined, looks pretty much like the badass Devastator from the movie. Sweet! Articulation is pretty good too. The legs and hands can bend and pose, though slightly limited, but great for such a figure.

I haven’t taken pics of my Hot-Toys T600 – Rubber Skin version or John Connor as yet. The detail of the endoskeleton is amazing! Here are the pics.

I also got myself some DiD 12 inch cases and displayed Iron Man Mark I & III in them. very nice. Just need to find space to display Mark II.

Some of the new Hot Toy’s figures on display at SDCC’09. No new figures, but it’s always good to see more of the Terminator 4 figures. More pics from Cool Toy Review here.

Hot Toys Terminator Salvation: T600 (Weathered Rubber Skin Version)

chaz — Tue, 23 Jun 2009 07:18:59 +0000

Hot Toys have done it again and come up with the Weathered Rubber Skin Version of the T600. I already have the T600 Endoskeleton on pre-order, but this new T600 looks awesome. And being a fan of the Terminator movies, how can I resist not getting this! Hot Toys sure knows how to get suckers like me roped in!

My Toy Display

It’s been sometime since I got around to take pics of my toy collection. So I thought I’ll just take a few pics. Apologies if they aren’t the best quality, but hey, I’m lazy and can’t really be bothered. And at least I do open up my figures to display them!! I can’t understand collectors who buy figures just to store them in boxes! I mean if you truely are a fan, then damm well open the box, display and play with the figures! Who cares if the value is lost dammit!. Only if you don’t have enough space to display your stuff, then fine, keep them in the cupboard. That’s what I do, but I slowly rotate new and old stuff out of my already bursting cupboard. Can’t wait to get more display cabinets! lol.
