Mighty Muggs: Iron Man 2: Iron Man Mark VI & War Machine

Alrite, So today, I went to the 12:00 a.m. showing of Iron Man in IMAX at the scotia bank theatre in wem, so course I got some limited edition Muggs to go with it.

These guys are getting pretty common. When i bought them, I was told the Iron Man Mark VI had only 4 sent per store, and that War Machines were really hard to find. So I scooped up all 4 at the local Toys R Us. Unfortunately for me, they restocked a ton of these guys, so their still in stores for i think $16.99. War Machine however, is still ultra rare, so if you find one, either pick it up, or pick it up, and i'll pay you back. Here's some pics. Since i had 4 Iron Man's i took one outta box. I still have 3 boxed, so no one panic and go. HOLY SHIT YOU TOOK IT OUTTA THE BOX!!

Enjoy the pics.

Oh yeah, and go check out Iron Man 2. So Freakin Entertaining. No major plot/character developement. But damn entertaining.

Hasbro: Iron Man 2 Movie War Machine Walmart Exclusive Edition

So, I haven't been on for a really long time. Just been to busy to get on here, but good news is I've bought tons of cool shit in the past lil while I haven't been on. Bad news is i'm pretty broke, so I guess i'm just gonna do what I initially wanted to do, and make my way backwards...since i'm not gonna afford anything anytime soon.

But today, went to Walmart in South Edmonton Common and came across some exclusive Iron Man 2 Figures. These are exclusive only to Walmart and they only had a handful left. I only had a chance to grab 1 War Machine and 1 Mark VI Iron Man. I couldn't keep War Machine in the package because he was so bad ass, so I took him out. Usually by this point, i'm pretty dissapointed, but I was not! This guy is so freakin solid. DC Direct Quality. I kid you not. Has interchangeable hands, the paints fantastic, and the joints are nice and tight. only paid $12.92, and its worth it for the extra 3 bucks on top of the 3.75" figures. You might wonder why I'm not buying those, but I figured for everyone I don't buy, i'm gonna put it towards the Hot Toys War Machine. When I get him, I'll put him up here for sure. So less chit chat, and more pictures below.


Here's the initial packaging. Notice how it says Exclusive in a shiny ass sticker. Oooooo, how exciting. Not really. but I was. True Story.


Took him out without his gear all attached. The chain link, and right shoulder missile cannon comes not attached.


Picture of him from the back with the bits attached.



Here are all the bits before being attached on.


I attached the chain ammo on, along with the shoulder cannon. I like the gattling guns attached to his forearms.


Here's a pic of him abou to fire up. The changeable hands make the poses pretty sweet.


Here's a closer shot of his body. The paints really good for the repulsor and the decals are a really nice touch and compliment him well.

Star Wars Saga Collection 2006: Preview Exclusive Hunt for the Millenium Falcon Bounty Hunter Boxset

It's been a while since I been on here, but came across an awesome find, so had to put it up, since its hard to come by nowadays. Picked it up today at Edmonton's bi-annual pop culture fair. Pretty cheap, the guy was super nice and let this box set go for $20! He had 2, and right after I picked it up, the next time I came around to his table he had changed the price to $50. Lucky Me.

This box is a pretty extraordinary box set. The box I have is pretty much mint. The previous owner took the liberty of wrapping it entirely with clear plastic bag somehow. The box has a a big window on the front, but what i really like are the windows on the sides and above so you can feel like Hasbro put a bit more effort in this set than what they have done in the past.

The set contains Vader and all the bounty hunters Vader had hired to look for the Millenium Falcon in the Empire Strikes Back. Most people won't recognize the guys in the set besides Boba, IG-88 and Bossk. The other guys are relatively unknown, but the main thing is i don't think too many of them came out as individual figures, so I'm glad i came across this one.

The figures look really well made, and the details look as if they excel those of the basic figures. They look very sturdy and dense. Especially Vader. This version appears to not have any fabric and brings it back to the plastic cape and skirt (which i kinda missed). The bounty hunters however don't look very poseable. Well neither does Vader. They don't appear to bend at the knees or elbows so i imagine Hasbro wanted to built them sturdy and better detailed to be kept in the box, opposed to taken out to display. Well looks like thats what I'm gonna be doing. Photo's below, take a look.

DC Direct: Ame-Comi Batgirl PVC Figure

So i was picking up some buddies on my birthday way back, and decided to go to th comic book store. See whats up. So went inside and saw a table full of 50% off shit. Guess what? Sexy Batgirl. $20 bucks. Everytime i went in to grab books and stuff, its been hanging up on there. I saw my girlfriend eyeing it a few times and she pointed it out. but really. 45 bucks?

20 bucks. Okay. Picked it up, and i gave it to her the next time i saw her, and she told me to keep it at my place. Am i going to say no to keeping sexy batgirl in my basement? well no.

So here she is. She's actually really big. Stands 9" Tall and is probably one of the biggest figures i own. The paints really good. nice and smooth, no imperfections on the surface and no hints of mold lines at all. She doesn't move at all. Just comes with a base and shes stuck in that cheesy pose, but she still looks hot. Shes actually pretty sought-after so I have no idea why no one bought her, but I guess 45 bucks is pretty hefty. Well here are some pics. Try not to slober too much.

Minichamps 1/43: James Bond Aston Martin DBS. (Gold Edition Limited to 2016 Pieces World Wide)

So here is the first car model I'm posting, but i actually own alot. 

This is actually my first 1/43 scale car model, because i always felt like you couldn't get enough out of them in such a smal size, but i obviously couldn't pass this one up.

The minichamps line is the most famous brand for model cars in the 1/43 scale around the world. This one retails for probably over 100 bucks, since the regular non gold DBS retails for about 70. The detail on this model is amazing right down to the tiny emblems, 5 point harness in the seats and the tiny fire extinguisher in the back seats. 

Whats really nice about this model is that its freakin gold plated. Its the shiniest thing in my basement for sure. I thought only the body would be covered in gold, but the rims, side mirros, grill and the exhaust pipes are too. The golds been plated real smooth and theres barely any imperfections in the body at all. This ones just straight up beautiful. I doubt any of these can be bought from a retail store or sitting a shelf anywhere, but maybe check around on Ebay. but be ready to pay the big bucks, because this bad boys pretty rare with only 2016 pieces around the world.

Check out the pics: Its shiny as hell. 

McFarlane: Halo 3 Master Chief Legendary Collection

Alright, so not too long ago McFarlane released their Halo 3 Legendary Collection. 

This is Master Chief [Spartan-117]. He's pretty damn nice, I picked him up for $20 during the Edmonton Collectible Toys and Comics Show.

He's not very poseable...well. He's not at all. but the detail on him is amazing. The pictures seriously don't do it justice. The paints beautiful, and his armor is washed really well. He comes with a pretty swank base and 3 flood attacking him plus his assault rifle. He's pretty much stuck in this pose, but he looks freakin sweet. Pretty tempted to take him out of the box, but I just don't know where i'd put him. He stands pretty big, much larger than the McFarlane figures. If you see this one, make sure you pick it up. Alrite. 

Good Job McFarlane. Here are some pics: 

Star Wars Saga Collection 2006: Ultimate Galactic Hunt Scorch

So this was probably the hardest figure to find in all of 2006 out of the Star Wars basic figures. I don't know if you know what UGH (Ultimate Galactic Hunt), but during the years of 2006/2007/2008 for a dozen of the 60-100 released, they select a few to be "UGH" so maybe 1/50 - 1/200 of that one character to have an Ultimate Galactic Hunt Sticker and the special chrome base. One of the hardest figures to find is Scorch not being Galactic Hunt. The UGH one is ultra rare, so to have this in my collection makes me pretty happy. Paid retail 10 bucks for this guy, here are some pics:
