Mars Attacks! 1/6-figures & Cosbaby by Hot Toys
One of my fav kitsch-flicks from the "past" (circa 1996) was Tim Burton's MARS ATTACKS! It was both fascinatingly farnie, as well as irritatingly benign due to hammy-acting at the same time (which understandably was on purpose). But hey, I must have liked it a lot - enough to buy the movie trading cards then, innit? And one of my toy-regrets in the past was to sell off a 12" action figure of a Martian (can't remember the make tho). Now Hot Toys steps up and further grows their movie license with the release of Mars Attacks! figures, in both their Cosbaby-line (looking excellent, IMHO) and a duo 1/6th-scale figures of a Martian Ambassador and a Martian Soldier!
Both series made their display-debut at Tokyo Toy Show and SDCC, and now the official product info have been unveiled! "These Martian collectibles are able to convey a range of emotions: cackle, anger or fear with the valued-added features of Movable eyes, Movable jaw and Extendable tongue! We are sure that these little green men will become good buddies of your rest of collectibles!" - I would dearly love to have them, yes I would! CLICK THRU for full info of the figures with a 4th quarter 2009-release.
