Archief voor tags: x-men
This announcement came a bit of a surprise to me.
I didn’t even know Hot Toys had a license for X-men 3: The Last Stand. Which this Wolverine is based from.
This is Hot Toys second Wolverine. The first one was based on the Wolverine Origins movie.
The first Wolverine got me into Hot Toys, somewhere back 2009.
I always despised 12″ figures. I my head they were dolls. Like barbie and Hasbro’s GIJoe. At that size, they always looked to fake to me. Especially the clothes were a jail breaker for me. I only had a SideShow Stormtrooper and the Hot Toys she-predator and Iron Man mark III at the time. All armored figures. Then I saw the announcement for Wolverine mms103. He looked awesome. The clothing looked life like and the head sculpt was the best I’ve seen at the time. So I took a leap of faith and since than, I spend way too much money to Hot Toys.
I wasn’t the only one. The first Wolverine figure has become a rarity and goes for $500 at ebay. Crazy!
Back to this one. It’s like stepping in the Delorean and going back in time. Back to X-men The Last Stand from 2006. I like the X-men film. But I didn’t really dig the costumes and I always thought Wolverine’s hair looked stupid.
Here We are. 6 years later. Wolverine hair still looks stupid and on this figure even more so. The costume is starting to grow on me. And it’s fair to say Hot Toys again did an terrific job at the tailoring. I thing the head sculpt doesn’t look bad. But still it’s not 100% Hugh Jackman, the actor portraying Wolverine.
Still I would have bought him if this price wasn’t ridiculously high. With only four extra hands, a figure stand and an environment base, I think $230 is just to steep to take is seriously. So i’ll let this one pass.

Nextmovie.com believes everything looks better in Lego.
This is known!
They featured 10 some pretty astonishing Lego themed posters for many of this year’s highly anticipated movies, including Thor, X-men first Class, Green Lantern, Captain America: TFA, and more.
The Posters created for NextMovie by Old Red Jalopy.
A few days ago the official theatrical trailer was released.
X-Men: First Class charts the epic beginning of the X-Men saga, and reveals a secret history of famous global events. Before mutants had revealed themselves to the world.
Two young men discovering their powers for the first time. Charles Xavier and Erik Lensher, not archenemies, they were instead at first the closest of friends, working together with other Mutants to stop Armageddon.
The trailer shows a lot of story, I hope the movie delivers what this trailer promisses.
The main source for all of these collectibles are the movies.
So whenever I can or when I think it’s worthy I’ll give a review of the movie.
This year will be an exiting year for movie fans, especially fans of genre movies.
Please note the following release dates are for the Netherlands.
This April the 27th, Thor will kick-off a very promising movie season.
From what I’ve heard Thor will kick-ass in an epic way. I’m looking forward to this one. I already got tickets for the 27th.
Next up, May 19, Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides will come ashore.
Somewhat disappointed of the last one. I hope this one will be a fresh start with an new cast and characters.
