I can not believe I was able to pull off this pose with my UFC figure! It's all about the balance Baby!

UFC FIGURE KARO THE HEAT PARISYAN

Just a quick post update. I added another UFC MMA figure to my collection. It's Karo Parisyan. This ultra flex figure is from series 3 UFC 78. He's 5"10" 170 LBS. Karo The Heat Parisyan fights in the welterweight class. His record as of today is 26-6-0 (W-L-D)

I should have some more UFC MMA figures to add to my collection after Xmas! I think Santa has a little something under the tree for me:)

Muscle Bodies

It's not what you think. Get your mind out of the gutter! I'm talking action figure muscle bodies people. If you are a collector, I'm sure you're doing the happy dance in anticipation of all the new muscle bodies being released this year and next. I'm pure salivating.

I saw this figure yesterday on One Sixth Warrior. I really like this one. It has a few flaws but, overall this looks like a great figure and it's not just a body. It comes with a great head sculpt. Now, they are advertising it as an Asian muscle body but, this guy doesn't look Asian to me. I agree with my fellow collectors. He looks like a cross between The Rock and Obama. Here are some pics.

Okay, enough of the naked action figure pics. Let's see how he looks in some clothes.

I love this figure! The only problem is, I love the head sculpt too. If I get this figure, I'll just have to do a general kit bash. I love this guys face.

Now what I don't like is the arms and face are a different skin tone than the rest of the figure. I can overlook that as long as this new company does not try to charge Hot Toy money. A minor imperfection that can be easily hidden as with the posted figure in clothes.

The other thing I don't like is the legs have no detail. This company did an excellent job on the muscles on the upper torso and arms but completely neglected the poor little guys legs.

What I do like. This figure is totally bad ass! Look at dude in his fatigue jacket and faded jeans with just a hint of white boxers and dark sunglasses. He looks great. He has an awesome realistic face sculpt.  I'll definitely be ordering one of these if the price is right. And what is the right price? Think back to what True Type figures use to go for.

I'll be keeping a close eye on these. If the quality is good, Hot Toys may loose a customer.

HEAD PLAY

I haven't really done much kit bashing but, with the awesome head sculpts Head Play is putting out nowadays, I'm really considering it. I think I'll order my first head play head this week.

I'm considering the Hugh Jackman head sculpt. In case you didn't know, I have the biggest crush on Hugh. No disrespect meant for his wife but, your man is fine!

Here's a pic of my favorite man.

And here's a pic of the Head Play sculpt.

The sculpt looks or resembles Hugh but honestly, I don't think they nailed it. It does look enough like him that I think most people would realize who it's suppose to represent. I really want this head but, now I've got to start looking for bodies. My mini Hugh can not have just any old body now. I'm excited that there are so many to choose from now.

I've also got to find a movie with clean cut Hugh like Swordfish to base my Hugh on. I'll keep you informed.

A collector's got to do what a collector's got to do. Even if it means creating my own action figures to save a dollar:)

Hot Toys True Type

It seems like almost every week some company is out a new muscle type body. As a collector, I'm happy. It gives us more choices. For a long time Hot Toys has been the definitive number one 1/6 action figure company. I'm not saying that they're not now but, I think that being on top for so long has afforded considerable swagger. Pricing, I'm talking pricing people. The basic true-type figure that comes completely naked has inched it's way up to around $50. Really! I'm just a average working girl. I can't afford $50 a pop for figures.

When I first started buying hot toys I paid $32 dollars for a true-type figure. And I got this guy.

 See, naked, no clothes. At $32 that wasn't bad.

Then I got the Hot Toys slim body. I paid $37 for this guy.

Next, Hot Toys offered a Hot Toys female true type. I brought the Cuban version at $42.

Lastly, I purchased the advanced body Obama look-a like true type also for $42.

All I'm trying to say is, that competition is good. Having more choices is good. All of us collectors can't continue to pay the increasing high prices Hot Toys are demanding. So, having other options is always welcome.
