Mechani-Kong statue from the Toho / Rankin Bass movie KING KONG ESCAPES:

[Collection DX]

Gives me hope that Tamashi Nations may some day come out with a S.H. MonsterArts posable figure of this...

It appears we're getting a Shunya Yamashita DC Bishoujo of Starfire in the coming year:

That base is way too Freudian. 

They need to ditch the irises as well.

One thing about that Bishoujo Starfire, based on the other figures in the line, is that she will at least be CUTE, and not just salacious.

Saw this at Toys R Us, passed on it due to the price. I just can not pay 36.00 for 2 action figures, no matter how cool I think it is. Also due to the articulation it made Batman's arms look wonky and his belt is too big and high on the torso .

Odd that with toys being such a big business, no one has figured out a way to make figures articulated without looking like some grotesque, bolted-together Frankenstein's monster.

This is coming out in December (?)....I'll admit that I'm annoyed cuz I bought the other one as well, and I'd rather have this one...


They did the same thing with the Pop version as well... Dag nabbit!

Given the multiple versions of Batman I already have, I'm not too concerned about "doubling up" on the Wacky Wobbler!

Plus, remember how many Futuras/Batmobiles I've accumulated!

(And I've added a couple since that picture was taken!)
