Hot Toys DX13 Terminator 2 - T-800 battle damaged version 1/6 preview

Just amazing news yesterday , finally Hot Toys got around and announced this awesome Terminator 2 T800 fully battle damaged Terminator figure.

It tooks them some time but it seems all the waiting and hoping of fans will pay off. There isn't much more that you can wish for, especially the damaged headsculpts look fantastic. If you go for the exclusive you even get a second T-1000 liqud metal portrait.

Normally I don't promote pieces in an early preview phase, but this could be worth it. So if you want to cut a deal, you might wanna pick it up at Sideshow Collectibles - release summer 2013.

The only bummer in my opinion: It's a bit of money making of Hot Toys doing 2 different DX releases on the same figure. First DX10 some weeks ago, now the announcement of the new one. Both together including also the accessories of the first MMS T2 Arnie would have been a dream come true.

But don't pass this one up - finally we get what we always wanted.

Hot Toys Predators Noland 1/6 - video and photo review

Fast pickup from a local dealer - only 120 USD, couldn't pass this one up. It's Noland from the Predators movie, 1/6 scale figure by Hot Toys.

Never planned on getting this one, but somehow I'm actually quite happy I did pick it up in the end. Was quite some fun setting up and it has lots of cool parts.

Check out my video review and then enjoy some photos:

My conclusion on the figure and lots of more photos you'll find right after the jump.

Hot Toys Iron Monger 1/6 - Iron Man - photo review

The monger has arrived. Pre-ordered over a year a go - and finally got it in hand. Totally incredible! I never had that much fun unboxing and setting up a 1/6 figure. This Iron Monger by Hot Toys is a mechanical beast.

Some photos right after the unboxing:

My conclusion on the figure you'll find right after the jump.

1/6 custom velvet cape for Batman DX12 by lforigno

Got a fresh custom piece in for modification of the rather bad original cape that Hot Toys delivered with their DX12. The custom cape is made by Lance also known as "lforigno" on the web - you can look up his offers on different custom cape variants on eBay - just check it here.

So this lforigno cape dresses up your 1/6 DX Batmann in a more fitting and movie accurate way than the original cape. On the outside you get a perfect velvet fabric, where it is on the inside in a more plain / matte fabric. The weight of the fabric give it a quite realistic loose hanging look..

What you don't get with the lforigno cape are the little clips that come with the original cap. So the installation of the cape isn't easier than with the original cape. Because of the thickness of the custom cape it holds pretty good when putting the fabric deep enough in the shoulder sockets.

You can get the cape for about 25 USD shipped - if you aren't happy with the stock cape this is definately a good investment.

Now let's take a look at some photos:
