Hot Toys Reveals Wolverine from X-Men: The Last Stand

As much as my wallet hates me, I’ve become a huge fan of Hot Toys – but I am trying to figure out what’s off about their X-Men: The Last Stand Wolverine’s head sculpt. I have no doubt that based on the feedback they’ll get from these reveals that they’ll go back and rework it.

Wolvie will come with a severed Sentinel head for a base, and it will have light up eyes, just like from the Danger Room sequence at the start of the movie. Come to think of it,  it’s about time to watch X3 again.

Hot Toys Avengers Hulk is Always Angry

We got our first full look at the upcoming Hot Toys Hulk at Ani-Com, and with the official release pics I continue to be impressed. Some folks in the 1/6 community are a little jarred by the visible articulation points – but I figure this is a big green mostly naked guy, so there isn’t a lot of opportunity to hide those joints. Hot Toys did implement a “seamless” articulated elbow, but that raises the concern of possible rips in the “skin” and hindrances to posing.

One surprise – does “rolling eyeballs” mean full PERS or just some side to side action? Either way, Hulk likey! I mean SMASH!

Hot Toys Captain America, Jim Gordon, and Angelica Exclusives Available for Pre-Order

I was watching Captain America: The First Avenger on Netflix last night, and was reminded during Cap’s awesome rescue of the Howling Commandos and the survivors of the 107th that the Hot Toys “Toy Fairs Exclusives” of Rescue Cap, SWAT team Jim Gordon and Angelica from the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise that they announced during San Diego Comic-Con were now all available for order in the US through Sideshow Toys.

The only downside is that now I have that USO song stuck in my head. Maybe an Iron Man movie can fix that. 🙂

Bigger is Better – Hot Toys Reveals 1/4 Scale The Dark Knight Rises Batman

If twelve inches is still too small, maybe this 18-inch Batman from The Dark Knight Rises will finally satisfy you. But if you’re like me, a fan of Nolan’s Dark Knight and Hot Toys, you’ve already got one of the previous Batman releases. To entice you, Hot Toys is including accessories from all the movies, the PERS moving eyeballs, Bat Sonar light-up eyes on a separate head, interchangeable mouths for the masked heads, an uncanny Christian Bale likeness on yet another head, and a TDKR-inspired rubble strewn stand.

In other words, this is the ultimate Batman, so just grin and bear it… and hope they don’t make a 1/4 scale Tumbler or Bat so you don’t have to make room by getting rid of your bed. Batman doesn’t sleep!
