Hot Toys Neo from The Matrix ... ...

'He is the One'

1999, the year The Matrix wowed the audience with its intriguing story line and out of this world cinematography. The then Wachowski brothers (sisters now) introduced Bullet Time to the world.

Hot Toys War Machine Mark IV from Infinity War ... ...

Ten years of War Machine and today we have the Mark IV from the Infinity War.

My collection of Mark I, Mark II and Mark III. This is probably my final War Machine and will skip Mark VI but I do own the Marvel Legends but since it stays in the packaging, it will not find its way here.

Mark V did not make it to the cinematic universe and I look forward to Iron Patriot II.

Hot Toys Darth Maul with Sith Speeder from The Phantom Menace ... ...

I like Darth Maul and had been waiting for Hot Toys to make a fanboy happy. They did that and included the Sith Speeder; woohoo!

Hot Toys Black Panther from Black Panter ... ...

Not exactly a Black Panther fan but Hot Toy's creative idea to relive the cinematic marvel had me sold. The gimmicks are ultraviolet lights and paint applications to allow the below display effect which is exactly how the new Panther Habit suit behaves when it charges up with kinetic energy.

Hot Toys Iron Man Mark L and Accessories Set ... ...

Infinity War Iron Man Mark L and its weapons set has been sitting in my toy store for a long time. Time to do a review on it.

It's been quite a while since I was wowed by a Hot Toys product and with Iron Man, there is little Hot Toys can do wrong with it.

Hot Toys Avenger Infinity War Iron Spider Man (Mr Stark, it smells like a new car in here) ... ...

and I must say the figure do smell rather like a new car. It's clear now why I would have bought this for the reasons stated in the previous post.

Hot Toys Captain America Civil War Iron Man Mark XLVI ... ...

This post took longer than it should to be published. I couldn't remember exactly when I purchased this and taken photos of it but it doesn't quite matter.

Hot Toys The Last Jedi BB-8 and BB-9E ... ...

Following from the post on R2-D2 from The Force Awakens, here comes BB-8 and BB-9E.

Hot Toys Avengers: Infinity War Thor ... ...

Thor has been around for some time but I have not bought a single Thor figure until now. If you have been following my blog, I need not say what had me sold.

Hot Toys Videogame Masterpiece Arkham Knight ... ...

Following the post of Batman from the same PS4 game title "Batman - Arkham Knight", this is Arkham Knight. I did not order this and so had a hard time finding him and am grateful that I have him in my possession now.

Hot Toys Videogame Masterpiece Arkham Knight Batman VGM26 ... ...

I have to put it upfront that I am totally appalled by this figure but I will still talk about it.

I have been introduced to a very techie Batman by my son as I watched him played as the dark knight on his PS4. I was drawn to the Tony Stark inspired suit and the slew of tech Batsy has in his 'utility pouches'.

Hot Toys R2-D2: The Droid that was Forced to be Awakened ... ...

Like many Star Wars fans, I am drawn to R2-D2 (aka Artoo) for its eccentricity. However, it is a very unassumingly intelligent droid and that is probably how it survived all this while.

There had been couple of releases of Artoo in 1/6 scale but I have passed all of them until this one. Ironically, Hot Toys's version of Artoo is the simplest with the least number of accessories.

Climatic Impact ... ...

This couple of weeks have been extremely cooling in my sunny island of Singapore as it has been pouring non-stop. For those who aren't familiar with our climate; Singapore is not the toy haven for collectors as the humidity can be a toy collector's worst enemy.

My fellow toy collector friend recently had a rude shock when his Hot Toys Selina Kyle's faux leather started flaking. He asked if I want the figure and who is to say no to Anne Hathaway?

On the left is mine and the one on the right is from my friend. The flaking was very bad on the forearm sleeves. Some parts of the suit are strangely also deteriorating.

Hot Toys Deadpool ... ...

This is again another purchase enticed by the live action movie Deadpool. I must say it is one of those movies that did not disappoint.

Wade Wilson aka Deadpool is both a loose cannon and highly spontaneous who often times behaves in the most unanticipated manner. Becoming Deadpool simply up his antics a few notches since he is practically invincible.

Hot Toys Death Trooper ... ...

Mentioned in earlier post that I have been buying but not posting as diligently as the toys arrived.

This entry features the Death Trooper from the movie Rogue One - A Star Wars Story.

Hot Toys Mark XLIV, Hulkbuster ... ...

This is the most anticipated purchase for the year and it has been a long 2 year wait for its arrival.

Mark XLIV, better known as Hulkbuster was developed by Tony and Bruce as a counter defense against Hulk. It was deployed from the VERONICA satellite in the Age of Ultron when Hulk went under the spell of Scarlet Witch.

Hot Toys Captain America: Civil War's Falcon ... ...

The bane of toy collecting is there is no way to stop and I will end up buying whatever version the big screen is churning out.

Next up is Falcon from Captain America: Civil War. This suit is improved by Stark and a far better looking one compared to the US Air Force version here.

I had this for sometime but had no time or motivation to get it posted. Anyway, here it is.

Hot Toys Dawn of Justice Armored Batman ... ...

Ben Affleck as Batman isn't something I was quite prepared for and I was ready to just let the whole Hot Toys franchise on Dawn of Justice to go pass me until I saw Armored Batman. I kinda hear Hot Toys asking my wallet 'Do you bleed?'

I guess it's that pairs of LED lit eyes that had me sold.

Hot Toys Mark XLV Age of Ultron ... ...

Frankly speaking, I am growing tired of collecting all the suits Hot Toys or Marvel Iron Man has to offer. They are generally the same but somehow different. This is Mark XLV from Age of Ultron.

The escalating pricing of the Hot Toys product is also any deterring factor for my Iron Man suits fatigue.

Hot Toys Captain Phasma ... ...

When I first saw the character in the trailer, it didn't occur to me that this Captain is a she. However, her screen play was limited and she didn't quite impress in anyway except for her shiny chrome armor.

She is so shiny that my reflection is in every picture. This figure could have easily been mistaken for a diecast one. Hot Toys did a fantastic job with the chrome paint and now it will stand the test of time.
