| Hot Toys War Machine with parts and stand |
I'm quite excited about my first Hot Toy.
Background: Hot Toys is a Hong Kong based outfit that used to produce military scale action figures, and has now moved on to licensed material... such as this truly awesome War Machine figure seen here.
Special trait: Attention to detail is second to none when it comes to Hot Toys figures. Lots of little moving parts and spare hands and stuff really adds value.
Cool: One set of hands has jointed fingers including opposable thumbs. The Don Cheadle head has a helmet face plate that is attached magnetically and the lower jaw-piece moves down slightly just like in the movie.
Not so cool: Personally the minigun could have been bigger, and the actual weight of the figure wasn't as heavy as i expected. It could have used more weight on the legs, as it's quite top heavy. It feels a bit too plasticky (but then i may have gotten my expectations up wayyy to high), and i fear any form of playing or excessive fiddling might damage certain parts. So.. yeah don't buy this for rough handling. It's a display piece..
...and what a display piece it is! There are LEDs so the hands, chest and eyes light up (Red for chest and eyes, white for hands, and they're very bright) and there is articulation almost everywhere. I still haven't figured out all the moving parts yet, so there is lots to explore with this figure. A solid piece from Hot Toys.. now i wish i had more money cos this thing is expensive!
Pre-order price: RM 568
*Note: i don't sell them, this is just a review... and the pictures are from another site, until i get mine photographed and posted... someday. Hehe.
