Hot Toys MMS DX 02 - Batman ( Hi- Res Pictures )

Hot Toys MMS DX 02 - The Dark Knight's Batman's Official Pictures are OUT! and i must say they're looking impressive...

I will confess that i'm highly excited about this MMS DX figure, however the suit doesn't seem to be improved in anyway from the first TDK batman release, apart from the new headsculpt, additional facial expression , and weapons/tools. So i'm asking myself the question, why didn't they do this earlier?

a DEFINITIVE must for this figure that i'd expect would be for BATMAN to be slim.

NO MORE BEER BELLY HOT TOYS!

Loving the intense stare from batman, now with the new PERS system.

Nip and Tuck worked well for Bats so far it seems.... LETS KEEP THE FINAL PRODUCT THAT WAY TOO HOT TOYS!

KUDOS to yuili for the fantastic bale chin. nothing defines batman more than the chin BENEATH THE COWL!!!

Finally we get the SONAR VISION we've awaited for so long.

Hot Toys MMS DX 02 - Batman ( The Dark Knight )

well, need i say more?

Tony Stark Kitbash

So now with the arrival of the Narrow Shouldered True Types, i can now get down with my long awaited Tony Stark's Kitbash!!!

scored me 2 of these Narrow Truetypes as they'd come in handy in the future for say DX Joker? Would be hauling another 2 more this coming weekend, judging by how well they fit on 1/6th clothes.

First and foremost, you'd need a narrow shouldered truetype as they fit best with suits and don't make the figure look too bulky round the arms.

I'm liking the new headsculpt already. Similiar to the released military figure, the secret service with G36c.

Narrow Shoulders True Type comes with the standard figure, a pair of hands and a neck post.

You'd need the Hot Toy's Men's Suits specifically for Tony Stark Kitbashes.

looking' good!

Stark, billionaire playboy and industrialist


Now tell me who this resembles? Keanu's chin seems pretty obvious. the rest? is anyone's guess.

Instructions for the glasses!

Hot Toys Terminator Salvation: Marcus Wright New & Improved Headsculpt Detailed Photos

And here it is, pictures of the announced and finalized headsculpt for Marcus Wright. I must add that it looks dead on to Sam Worthington this time around.

loving the battle damage headsculpt in the package too. Love the tinge of purple they added to it giving it a realistic taint of blood to a certain extent.

on another note, its good to finally solve the uploading problem. in FLICKR i trust. =D

The Passing of a Pop Icon: Michael Jackson, An Eulogy

An Eulogy: Michael Jackson

29th August 1958 - 25th June 2009

Today marks a passing of one of history's most indelible Pop Culture Icons, Michael Jackson.

For four decades, he has entertained the world. Be it his adorable youthful voice as a child singer in Jackson Five, or his solo career with the unforgettable trademark moves, from the moonwalk in Billie Jean to the gravity defying leans in Smooth Criminal, to the distinct screams and yowls peppering his songs.

Rightly dubbed the ''King of Pop'', having hit multiple platinums for his hit singles and albums, and snagging 13 grammies, having being awarded 7 in one year. And not to mention, being honored at the Hollywood walk of Fame twice. These are proof enough of the impact he has made in his 50 years in this world.

and through his work, he has broken racial barriers for other fellow artists into the music industry and inspired generations to come.

with relation to that, i remember fondly the times where i would groove to the catchy tunes of 'beat it' and 'black or white', amongst many others. These two songs are distinctively a part of my memory, having grown up listening to them, recalling the youthful defiance McCaulay Culkin in the music video of ''Black or White'' to the sheer cool dance moves of ''Beat it'' and how he actually managed to make a shirt with a piano keyboard print actually look cool. (having grown up playing the piano since childhood, i never thought it would actually be cool playing the piano till i saw Michael Jackson wearing that shirt in Beat It )

and years later, i still must confess that his music has been a great influence to me still, with me playing BEAT IT instrumentally as a soundcheck during both my practice and stage performances with my band. Whilst the english language falls short to describe the riffs and solos of that song, i will say, his legacy will carry on strong, for generations to come.


and with that I end my personal eulogy to Michael Jackson. Thank you for all that you have given this world.

Rest In Peace


With Regards,
Joshua Lim
