ThreeZero Titanfall Stryder

Interesting! Even though i didn't play Titanfall (Does anyone still play this though?), this design looks pretty interesting i guess? There's even a little dude to place into the cockpit! :)

Titanfall Stryder collectible details and features:
*model stand approximately approximately 50.8cm / 20inches tall;
* incredibly detailed and over 100 articulation parts;
* real pistons control the movement of the waist;
* comes with Plasma Railgun with detachable ammo drum;
* fully openable hatch with cockpit;
* movable armor plates on both torso & legs;
* light-up feature for top, lower part and afterburner with interchangeable red and blue lights;
* articulated left side multiple missile launcher;
* articulated fingers;
* 3A X 2 batteries needed for the light-up feature (batteries not included).
Titanfall IMC Stryder pilot details:
* fully posable 15.2cm / 6inches tall IMC Close Quarter Pilot figure, which can be positioned inside Stryder’s cockpit;
* pilot figure comes with detailed armor parts, with CAR101 and fabric clothing;
* with the amount of details, paint application and weathering on the pilot, it’s hard to believe that such a level of details can be achieved on 15.2cm /6inches tall figure.

Bandai Hi-Metal R VF-1J

Man, as though Bandai's not taking most of my salary already... :p Soon to be released! Remains to be seen what the quality will be like, cos their last Hi-Metal releases ain't too hot. Still... interesting!


Bandai 1/48 Scale X-wing "Moving" edition

Definately "moved" haha! Man, seeing the instructions makes me all.... excited hehe. :P So the wing mechnism is one block... i like the wiring haha! Amazing. Just over ten years ago, all this would have been too expensive to place into a kit. :)


Call of Duty : Black Ops 3

Soooo.... looks like the 3rd installment of the BLOPS series is coming... i dunno, i enjoyed the first one with all it's weirdness.. (MASON! WHAT DO THE NUMBERS MEAN!?! TELL ME MASON!) Part 2 was... uh.... unecessary, i remember bitching about some portions of it. Now it looks like part 3 is going the modern route too... looks a bit too much like Advanced Warfare.

Actually, the COD series is in DIRE need of a major upgrade.... it looks and feels long in the tooth...

LEGO Summer Releases!

Looks like the pics for the Summer 2015 sets are out! For Star Wars, i guess the only one which really interests me is the shuttle, the other sets are... so so i guess?

Hot Toys Age of Ultron - Ultron Mk I

It's pretty interesting how it got it's mask like that, and how it came to life.. i think James Spader did a pretty good job for the voiceover. Still, this costs over 300 bucks... so... um... nope.



3A Half Size Rex!!!

Oh man, why 3A? Admittedly... cool. They probably planned it this way all along.... :(

Avengers : Age of Ultron

SPOILERS! : Warning in advance if you haven't seen the movie yet!

Ok, so how do i feel about the movie i was most looking forward to this year? Overall, pretty awesome! I think watching this movie is like seeing old friends; you already know them and you miss them, and you just wanna catch up and see how they are doing!

Joss Whedon has done a pretty stellar job in juggling the large cast of characters without anyone taking too much screen time. Although there is pretty much the usual action scenes throughout the movie, the focus this time is more on how the characters have developed between the first movie to now; Tony is still paranoid about the Alien invasion, Hawkeye has a hidden secret and the Widow has the hots for the doc... oh man. :p

I was worried about how the Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver would fit into this story, but thankfully they are relevant to the plot without being 'overbearing'. Ultron turned out to be.... funnier than expected. The trailers don't really spoil much for the movie thankfully, in the trailers Ultron was oh so serious, but man, he's hilarious in the movie, i guess cos he's uh, a small part of Tony?

Nice cameos throughout, we get to see some familiar faces from past movies. Poor Warmachine can't get a break haha. I also noticed a lot of scenes from the trailers were not in the movie... guess will have to wait for the blu-ray!

I'll give this movie a 7.5/10. Good and entertaining definitely. But i still find the first movie slightly better!

Oh, there's a mid credits scene of a familiar face we've seen quite a few times already haha. :p


MP-26 Road Rage!

Soooo,,, the next Master Piece release is a repaint of Tracks, and a Female Bot to boot! Interesting choice, although not unexpected... i wonder why they didn't give it a alt number like MP-25B instead of a new number.. since it's not a new mold?

Listening in to the Dawgs!

Diamond Dogs Style! HORI is releasing a MGS V themed headset with mic for the PS4.... i guess it'd go with the MGS V colored PS4 console hehe. :p


Dancin' Wars!

Ever wanted to see Vader and crew bust a groove? Now you can! :p The girls pretty hot too hehe.

Oh No AT-AT

I SO expect rounds in Battlefront to turn out like this! Credits to Penny Arcade!

Hot Toys Stormtroopers!

Man, these came in earlier than expected! It was supposed to be a Q2 release, and with HT's delays it usually means the figure never meets the projected release date! However, this time round it looks like they managed to ramp up production for the troopers, or 'cloned' them hurhur.

Quality is awesome, admittedly much better than Sideshow! Just that... One of them looks pretty short for a Stormtrooper! :p





New Fantastic Four Trailer

The FF movies have always been... cheesy at best. Even though it was ok for it's time, they storylines were kinda weak. The reboot looks like it's gonna be a moar dark moar gritty feel to the story... not sure about the casting, but at least Sue looks hot and the Thing looks soooo much better now. :)


New Supa Troopas!

Looks like EP VII will have some new Troopers... the new designs are not to my tastes but the current generation may like it. But seriously, Flame Troopers? Porsche Design.

Also interesting is some details of EP VII that were released... so these baddies are under a group called The First Order? Is it a splinter group of the Empire or where they around all along? The new X-wing is a T-70 model... but flown by the Rebel resistance? So they Rebels didn't win after EP VI? Kinda makes sense in a way... Still, i'm not reading too much into spoilers out there, i'll wait till December for this.



Mondayyyyy....!

Wow, what a week last week was with the Star Wars celebration going on, and the crazy number of announcements and releases... plus the trailer for Batman v Superman which looked... well, underwhelming? Not too impressed still.

On the Star Wars end, wow, there was the 2nd trailer which had cool shots, EA had a  'trailer' for Battlefront, a small trailer for Rogue One was also shown... now where's that new X-wing game? Come on Disney... i'd build a new 4K rig with 3 screens and get a Rift if you would... just... release... X-wing!

Oh, and The Avengers AOU releases this week whee! :D Haven't been to the Hot Toys roadshow at Vivo yet, heard it's a dissapointment tho!

Creepy meal?

Uh, why's the box staring at me?


Star Wars Battlefront 2015!

Unfortunate it had to come under EA... but at least it's made by DICE, and does look good! Can't imagine the gameplay tho!

ThreeZero TMNT

Ok, the movie wasn't fantastic, and the designs are, well, not to everyones tastes... but gotta admit, these figures look pretty good!


BB-8

Oh he's cute! So it's REALLY not CG.. i wonder when the remote control toy version will be out haha. :p I guess it's a strong magnet with gyro stabilization?


EP VII The Force Awakens Trailer 2!

So i guess the interwebs exploded overnight with news and stuff on EP VII, and the new trailer has revealed more scenes and details... i guess i gotta see the movie though it kinda looks cool so far. What's up with blingtrooper? :p the opening with the crashed Star Destroyer and X-wing look awesome.... Please.. dun screw this one up!

Han! You're lookin' ol haha. Welcome home. ;)

Star Wars Celebration!

Should be underway over in the states now, and we should be seeing the new ep7 and Battlefront trailers soon hehe. :)

Ahead of that a couple of new pics have leaked! Hmmm, no too crazy about the new designs, too much 'modern' input i feel, doesn't evoke the same feeling the OT had, still, better the ep 1-3 haha!

Google car!

Spotted what i think is a google car! It was a nondescript vehicle mostly... If not for the fact there was a bunch of cameras on top rotating crazily on top... Looked more like some anti missile defence system haha. It was going a few rounds too, probably trying to do a proper capture.

Hot Toys Exclusive Spacetrooper

Hehe, this is the exclusive fig for the Star wars celebration event this weekend in the US of A.... Sorry but... It looks more like a Stormtrooper cleaning crew? With mini vacs strapped to their backs! :p

UPDATE : Apparently, these guys DID appear in EP IV.. for like a whole 2 secs haha. :p



G.I Joe 2015

Oh cool, so looks like a renewal of the Joe line for 2015! Now why not MASK? Ooo, i like the Skystriker.







Ant Man!

Probably called "Ma2 Yi3 Xia2" for the Chinese release haha! :p Hard to say now, but doesn't excite me compared to other Marvel releases so far, the main actor doesn't seem to have... the charisma? Still, it may be a sleeper hit like the first Iron man who knows?





Saturday, April 11, 2015

Ohhhhhh...

That explains!

Hot Toys AoU version War Machine Mk II

Soooo.... Hot Toys is releasing the War Machine MK II again under the Age of Ultron banner this time round.... Can't really see the differences in this, maybe the coloring?


LEGO Dimensions game

This was just announced yesterday, looks to be something along the lines of Disney Infinity or Skylanders? Still, it'll be a large investment in the long run with all the expansion packs they are bound to release!


Transformers clothes...

Hmmm.. last i checked April Fool's day is over, so i guess this is real? Kinky... ;p

DJI Phantom 3

Interesting! New version with a 4K and 1080p cam... still over a grand for each though! It's getting "sensitive" flying these things around though, with all the security and doubts placed on these devices.

"DJI today announced the next evolution in its ground-breaking Phantom drone platforms – the Phantom 3.

With two variations, the Phantom 3 Professional and Phantom 3 Advanced, this new milestone in aerial innovation provides greater control and creative options from the sky.

Both Phantom 3 versions feature the strongest professional control features DJI has developed so far. Using DJI’s innovative Visual Positioning system, these Phantom 3 platforms can hold their positioning indoors without GPS and can easily take off and land with the push of a button.

Controllers for the Phantom 3 come paired with DJI’s Lightbridge technology, which allows pilots to see what the Phantom 3 camera is seeing in HD (720p) at a distances up to 1 mile (1.6 kilometers) with almost no latency.

“In developing the next generation Phantom, DJI remained committed to providing a top tier flight experience in one easy-to-use platform,” said DJI CEO Frank Wang. “We pride ourselves in creating a flying camera that fits in a backpack and can be ready to take professional quality videos from the sky in less than a minute.”

The Phantom 3 Professional is capable of shooting 4K video at up to 30 frames per second, while the Phantom 3 Advanced records at resolutions up to 1080p at 60 frames per second. These cameras are stabilized using 3-axis gimbals to keep the video smooth regardless of flight or wind conditions.

Both models shoot 12 megapixel photos using a 94⁰ FOV, distortion-free lens, and a high-quality, 1/2.3” sensor that is more sensitive to light than the sensor in previous Phantom 2 Vision models.

All camera settings, including ISO, shutter speed and exposure compensation, can be set using both the DJI Pilot app and the physical controls on the remote controllers. The DJI Pilot app also features a Phantom 3 flight simulator for virtually practicing aerial maneuvers, and a ‘Director’ feature, which automatically edits the best shots from flights into short videos that can be shared immediately after landing.

The upgraded app also allows pilots to livestream their flights to YouTube.

“Pilots, whether they are journalists, extreme athletes, or global travelers – will not just be able to share aerial videos of where they were, but will also be able to send a YouTube link to their friends and colleagues to show them the aerial perspectives of where they are right now,” said DJI’s San Francisco General Manager Eric Cheng. “This has tremendous potential for changing the way we share experiences with one another.”"

Bandai Tamashii Iron Man Mk 45

Spoilers! Ok, the Mk 45 looks very different from the other armors? I guess it's the mask and the general smoothness of the armor, very sleek! This is from Bandai's Tamashii figure line. It'll cost about 6,000 ish yen, so still cheaper than a HT fig!




Inside the Gundam Factory!

... where dreams come true! Or something like that haha! Cool to see them slowly and precisely churning out the kits. Painstaking process though!
