Before watching the latest Avengers movie
Age of Ultron, I managed to catch the Malaysian leg of the
Age of Ultron Hot Toys Exhibition Asia Tour. What with it being the last day of the exhibition and that day falling on a Sunday, the figurines display area was unsurprisingly crowded with jostling onlookers. Combined with rather bad lighting on some of the display cases, the task of taking macro shots of the collectible figures sometimes bordered on the impossible. On occasion I even had some nonchalant bystanders stand in front of my camera lens while I was in the midst of framing my shot. So in the end, I made do with fewer shots on the more detailed figures from the Hot Toys collection.

Hot Toys 1/6th Scale Collectible Figure - Black Widow |
|
Hot Toys figures have a reputation for realistic faces, Black Widow was no exception |
|
Black Widow is one of my favourite Hot Toys figures, superseded only by Babydoll (Sucker Punch) |
For me at least, the two main attractions were the Hot Toys 1/6th scale Avengers collectible figures and the life-sized Iron Man Hulkbuster armour (
see last photo on this post). I have always been a huge fan of the figures produced by Hot Toys. Not only is the amount of detail found in each doll .... errr 'action' figure ... amazing, their faces also look very realistic and extremely life-like.

Hot Toys 1/6th Scale Collectible Figure - Captain America |

Clothing details on the Captain America figure were very impressive |
My favourite of the lot is the Black Widow but even she is not my all-time favourite from the Hot Toys collection. That honour belongs to their Sucker Punch Baby Doll figure (
click here to see her).

Equally impressive was the Iron Man Hulkbuster Armour. Built roughly in life-sized scale, it towered nearly two stories high. Slipping into this beast during rush hour traffic would be a dream come true.

A life-sized Hulkbuster armour ... I need me one of these for sure |
I'm looking forward to seeing
Age of Ultron soon although I am pretty sure all the good tickets for this weekend would have sold out by now. If that's the case, then hopefully the missus and I can catch a screening of this latest
Avengers movie next week. Until next time, enjoy your weekend.
great action figures, really lifelike!

Thanks for taking a look luca.
DeleteYou're not kidding. Those faces are extremely lifelike.
ReplyDeleteMaybe a bit too lifelike ... a tad creepy at times.
