I am in the Philippines spending time with my parents, and have been suffering a bit from toy withdrawal. But today by chance I happened upon Maxiworks in the Power Plant Mall in Makati, one of the retail locations of Maxicollector Toys & Collectibles. They’re an official distributor of Sideshow Collectibles, Hot Toys, Enterbay, Toynami, Efx Collectibles, Gentle Giant, Funko and more. The store is bursting at the seams with statues, busts including life-sized ones from Marvel and Predators, and tons of 1/6 figures.
I’ve not been in a retail spot that’s so full of higher end collectibles, and the special treat that I got to witness today was their unboxing of the 3A Toys Metal Gear Solid 1/48 scale REX. The thing is absolutely massive and has some crazy articulation. I wish I could have stuck around to see them attach the rail gun so it would be complete. I’ll have to go back again.
