the dark knight @ medicom toy exhibition 2008
Right about this weekend, seems Japan is THE place to be for toy-collectors, what with the International Tokyo Toy Show 2008 currently on @ Tokyo Big Sight [tagged] and now images of Medicom Toy Exhibition 2008 @ Parco Factory [tagged] are starting to filter-in down the cyberhighway - with this current crop showcasing a sweet selection of The DARK KNIGHT movie-themed figures! ... Inevitably, comparisons between Hot Toys' TDKs and Medicom's offerings (specifically in 1/6th) will crop up, and frankly without even a need to take a side, consumers are spoilt for choice now, regardless of raised prices (on all toy-fronts) so really, it all boils down to "Quality" and value for money, IMHO. (hey, dun be looking at me, I ain't got squat to spend - whaddaya think the TP on my table's for? LOL *cough*)
You've got the TDK KUBRICK & BE@RBRICK sets (above), you got the 400% Why So Serious-BE@RBRICK, you got (Christian Bale) Bruce Wayne and Batman (in DK-armor) and Heath Ledger's Joker in RAH 1/6th-scale? C'mon folks! gimme a chance to catch my cyber-breathe, yo! ... altho frankly, I can't help but pray and hope these figures somehow make their way to the Singapore Toy & Comic Convention next weekend (c'mon folks, ya can't blame me for being wishful and delusional, innit? heh) ... needless to say, CLICK THRU for moooooooore!
...that looks a pretty decent Bat-armor fit, IMHO - and the
Joker's coat (looks fleece) drapes pretty decent too ... can't
say much about Wayne pin-strips tho (the sleeves bug me LOL)
