IRON MAN 3 TONY STARK

I don't believe I'm actually considering this but I've wanted a Tony Stark figure every since I saw the first Iron Man movie back in 2008. As corny as it sounds, Tony Stark the fictional character is one of my inspirations. I love his intelligence, inventiveness and his desire to do the right thing. Plus he rocks in the movies.

I've already gotten Bruce Lee who I wanted forever! I had every intention of getting a second Bruce Lee but, I think I want Tony more. I'm going to preorder and pay for him before he comes out. He's going for $279. Wow! That's really not in my budget but because you can make monthly payments with the preorder, I can do it.

Check out these images of Tony Stark figure. These images were taken from One Sixth Warrior. These images are also available from Hot Toys.

ENTERBAY'S HD 1/4 SCALE BRUCE LEE






This is the most awesome Bruce Lee figure to date in my
opinion. The figure is by Enterbay and stands a full 18 inches tall. I've been a collector for years and have followed a lot of collecting blogs and also sites and I had no idea that Enterbay and Hot Toys even came out with 18 inch or 1/4 scale figures!


Enterbay's 1/4 scale Bruce Lee has all the detail and remarkable likeness as their 1/6 scale figures. The likeness is incredible. The hair sculpting shows attention to detail that I'd expect for a $450 figure. Considering the price of their smaller figures, $450 isn't that bad for a figure of this size and quality.


I would absolutely love to add this figure to my collection but, at $450 this figure is way out of my budget. Nothing wrong with admiring it though.


Big Bad Toy Store has this figure up for preorder on their site now for those of you that just have to have this  Bruce Lee to complete their collection.


He comes with quite a few accessories including two nun chucks so you can recreate some of his movie poses.


Enterbay really sculpted an accurate Bruce Lee body capturing his slim but muscular physique. They really did a great job but, then they have been sculpting Bruce Lee for years. Enterbay was the only company up that could legally reproduce Bruce Lee's likeness until recently. Hot Toys now also has acquired legal rights to reproduce Lee's likeness in 1/6 scale.


Like his smaller counterpart, the 1/4 scale figure has over 30 points of articulation which allows for endless poses.


As a Bruce Lee fan, I am thrilled that they are still producing figures of a legend like Bruce. I am glad that Hot Toys now has a licence to produce Bruce because their figures a a little more affordable than Enterbay on my budget.


The figure comes with two head sculpts and four pairs of hands as well as a stand with Bruce Lee's name on the front face plate.


It also comes with a travel sack, map and train ticket.


Just wanted to add some more pictures of this amazing figure. Enjoy:)
