Acid Rain Agurts Infantry 88th ... ...

This is another product under Acid Rain story from Oritoy. Information about what this guy is can be found at the Acid Rain blog.

I've only ordered one of them as I find the price rather steep and this is probably just the introductory price for now.

It has a long uninteresting name. I just took to calling it... The Bat ... ...

and yes, Mr. Wayne, it does come in black - That's what the Fox says...

I doubt I will ever own the Hot Toys version if they are really making this for obvious reasons. I was pleasantly surprised that Kaiyodo decided to make one under their Sci-Fi line.

Hot Toys Iron Patriot ... ...

“Same guy, same suit, just a different paint job”

War Machine Mark II is now Iron Patriot from Iron Man 3. The origins of Iron Patriot can be found here and it has nothing to do with James Rhodes or War Machine.

This is a fantastic piece and if you need to just eat bread for a month to get it, I urge that you do that.

All That Doesn't Glitter is Midas (Iron Man Mark XXI) ... ...

I didn't get my hands on the exclusive Mark XXI, Midas from Hot Toys or Play Imaginative. So, when I knew Neca is making one, I had to have one.

It may not be as shiny as Hot Toys or Play Imaginative but it will do for me. Here's a little background information on Midas.

Neca Arkham Origins Batman ... ...

This is one of those Batmans I wouldn't have gotten. However, Neca nailed it with the scale and the details for this fella. Standing at 18", this batman has made it to my top 10 best made Batman list.

Some background on this game based Batman here. No time for games and barely time for toys...

If it Ain't Hot, It's Neca Toys ... ...

I'm actually excited about these 2 because they are my first 1/4 scale size toys and boy are they big and hefty! Did I mention they are made of mainly plastics?

1/4 scale was introduced not too long ago and I believe the big brother in this line is Hot Toys with the release of Terminator and The Dark Knight. Play Imaginative entered the arena with their Iron Man offerings which I think has been hit hard with post production issues. Then there's Neca which wanted a piece of the 1/4 pie. Well, I gave a pass for their previous offerings but with Midas and Arkham Batman, Neca hit the sweet note in my book.

aMazinger Z II ... ...

This is definitely a long overdue follow up of this post last year. Just a quick recap that this a Tamashii Nations Mazinger Z under the line of Super Chogokin (SOC) by Bandai.
