Realistic UFC headsculpts


Just a close-up of my UFC Rashad action figure showing off the awesome head sculpt. These figures have some of the best likenesses to the athletes that I have seen.

I love the attention to detail. Even on a figure this small, they have an almost flawless paint application. His brown eyes even have a single white speck added for a highlight. The skin tone is Matte finish and appears more flesh like and not the shiny appearance of some earlier series.

In the pic I posted, you can even see that they added a nice texture to his hair. His beard also carries through with a nice texture. It's hard to believe that such a quality figure offered by Jaks Pacific is only $9.99. When compared to the Marvel Legends six inch figures at $15.96 (I priced them today,) these figures are a steal.

The figure also has kept it awesome articulation boosting at least 30 points of articulation. I usually just put these figures on display and leave them in a static pose but, I love the fact that I can pose them in almost any position I want. I can even put them in fighting stances or submission holds.

I dare say, the UFC figures are fast becoming my favorite action figures to collect. I can collect all my favorite UFC/MMA fighters. When they release a series, I can get the entire series of 5 figures for $50. That fits my budget just fine.

I've already picked up Rashad and Jon "Bones" Jones from their newest offering. I'll probably pick up GSP and Faber next week.

Yep, you're seeing right. $5 for a 1/6 or 12 inch action figure with 32 points of articulatioin. Sigh. Man, those were the days! I brought this figure about 7 years ago from a Dollar General Store. They don't sell Power Team Elite 1/6 figures anymore.

I got about 4 figures from them for $5 each. This was when Power Team Elite was releasing what they call basic figures. Most of their figures come with a ton of gear but, these were primarily just the figure.

These figures by Power Team Elite/MC Toys - are in my opinion, better than the GI Joe's and cheaper. Well, got to get back to cleaning.

IRONMAN3 COMIC CON REVEALS

Two posts in one day! Whoot! Whoot! I'm on a roll. Well, things are looking up. Some of the first pics from IRONMAN3 in production are starting to surface. And part of IRONMAN was filmed right here in good old North Carolina!

Here's a couple of pics that I found at Toy News International. Go to their site for more.



How sweet is this new IRONMAN suit!


Even the back of the suit is sick with detail.


Can't wait to see this one in action after seeing The Avengers!
