Toybiz Marvel Legends Apocalypse Series Iron Fist

For our next Marvel Figure - let's go back to Kun-Lun to meet Daniel "Danny" Rand aka The Iron Fist. Iron Fist is commonly seen with his Heroes for Hire partner Luke Cage aka Power Man Well, same as the Luke Cage figure this was based on their retro apperances which can be recognized on those large collared shirts. For the fact that Hasbro did released the SDCC Thunderbolt Luke Cage that we all hope be released individually they are now planning to release a new Iron Fist taht is scheduled to be included in the upcoming Odin Wave Series. Well before this figure fades out and be forgotten in the toy chest, let's give it hsi own highlight.

In term of details, the figure itself was indeed accurate. Maybe because unlike the other heroes who has complicated designs, Danny here has one of the simplest attire you can make for a hero. But in terms of proportinaility it does look like it hass an elongated torso or such but still it was accurate enough to be unnoticed.

Left - Iron Fist, Right - Luke Cage. What seems to be weird here is noticed Luke Cage's hand? Ever wondered why he has a karate chopping hand? For some reason, I don't know either but Iron fist has the same set of hands which kinda fits him in a kind of way.

The series also has an existing H'ylthri Duplicate Variant [Red] which I posted a couple of months ago. And a few differences can be identified aside from the colour - it has a much more fiercer look because of the opened mouth and let's not forget - some collectors always thought this was a damaged in the production but no it does have a little bumpkin in his head.

Iron Fist'sisies - because there's more than one haha

Having both of them aint bad since it was explained that they are different Iron Fist. And for the figure having such an awesome articulation it good to play with - just don't play wiith it too much since loosening joints is too prone.

That facial expression though...

Well a high five for being such a great, cheap figure! I hope the incoming new version of this became much greater!

Toybiz Marvel Legends Galactus Series Charles Xavier [Professor X]

Meet Professor Charles Xavier or also known as Professor X -founder of the X-Men and runs Xaviers School for the gifted which trains and shelters mutants. Also a member of the Illuminati, and 7 more affiliations. A known Telepath, a Genius level intellect and Mind Reader - well there are a lot more so you might want to research them for yourselves. And for the additional info we all know that Xavier during this time is dead based on the AVX arc and hasn't been revived on the following comics. And for the current Avengers and X-Men Axis arc, we all know that the Red Skull took Xaviers dead unconsciosus dark side mind called Onslaught hence reviving and creating the new Onslaught Red Skull. Anyway I am stating inaccurate facts here, haha.

Currently there are 2 6" figures of Prof X - this was the first one made by Toybiz and was included in the Galactus Series Wave which contains Galactus Head Baf part. The Second one was the rare Movie Professor X [Patrick Stewart supposed to be look-alike]. Well, personally I like this one better -

Well aside from Galactus enormous head - we get Xaviers full articulated dressed in a suit figure, with his cool wheelchair but how I waish it was the 90's yellow wheelchair and Cerebro - the control thingy he wears to detect and find mutants.

Well aside from the "But-I-want-the-yellow-90's-wheelchair" the figure itself was great. Articulation was good except for the hands which can only wave his fingers. The arms and Wrist, the legs and feet, even the waist are moveable. Yes, in other words it was highly poseable. The details was great too, just don't visualize Patrick Stewart instead visualize the Comic Xavier and you'll fight it pretty close.

This is how much I enjoyed the figure - xavier's hidden ability - "Get the Ladies Skill!"

"Drunken Xavier"

"Flying Xavier"

"I can stand fabulously Xavier"

And the "I can really stand Xavier"

P-Bandai Online Hobby Shop Exclusive: RG 1/144 GN-001 Gundam Exia (Trans Am Mode) Gloss Injection Ver.

Before anything else, It's been a while since I have updated my blog so for starters here is a P-Bandai Exclusive for you! Basically it's not mine it's a friend kit, so thanks to him for allowing me to play with his toys - Well, mostly it's the same figure as the the first RG Exia which I already posted here with a different colour that can be identified as it's Trans-am mode in the series.

See Full Post

And mostly that's the only difference you'll get - don't even expect something special inside. No, there is no free toy inside or anything.

And If you're thinking that there was already a Trans-am version of these kits, instead from being an RG - How they are different? Well, basically aside from the details - it's colour is much sttronger and was more accurate than the HG Trans Am kits. Well they are the same Pinkish variant but the gloss effect did a much more realistic effect.

Well it did fit the prefectly good details and yeah, I think this was much better than the normal mode.

And of course, you'll met the same issue as the first one - hard to pose, brittle parts, etc ... And an additional "You cannot top coat me because I am glossy!"

Left - RG Exia, Right - RG Trans Am Exia

Well, If you ask me having both kit is not bad at all since any of the two aint look bad at all.
