DAM Toys - Pointman GMC Lake Navy Seal 1/6 - Tears of the Sun

I want to show off something different today and change the usual review cycles a bit:

DAM Toys is upping their track record with the recent releases on Tears of the Sun figures. Altough they haven't an official license covering their line of figs its undeniable of which movie the figures come from. DAM started out with lots of different military figures and recently got into movies that cover the war theme. A huge effort in the past was their line on Black Hawk Down figures.

Tears of the sun was quite a good war movie and I def. liked the characters in there. So I thought I'd give the first figure in the line of DAM Toys "Navy seal recon team in Nigeria 2003" a try: GMC Lake or the pointman / scout of the unit.

Check this blog post with a short written review, some photos and a video review on GMC Lake.

Hot Toys Bane 1/6 - TDKR - photo review

Hi guys, I'm back from christmas break. Hope you had an awesome start in 2013 and are charged up for a new and awesome year of collecting.

Hot Toys also did a break it seems - but I was quite relieved that we could rest a bit over xmas. Now the train of releases won't stop and after getting Bane in hand the new Hot Toys DX Series The Joker DX 2.0 got released in Hong Kong as well. The prices seem a bit ridiculous on this right now, so I'll have to wait and see how I get my first Heath Ledger figure.

Now for the actual subject of this blog pos - the magnificent Bane of Hot Toys. After having seen the prototype photos I was unsure but seeing the first in hand photos last week I just had to buy it - and yes, it's a damn good figure.

As usual a video review will follow at the weekend, but before that enjoy some photos and a short review in text form.
