New Batman and Harley Enough to Make the Joker Jealous...

When Square Enix first announced the acquisition of the Arkham Asylum video game license, the speculations of which other characters would follow in future assortments ran wild. Just as fans expected, several new characters have been revealed as upcoming releases including Catwoman, Robin and even a Dark Knight Returns figure based on the bonus skin from the Arkham City video game. Although bat fans will need to wait until early next year for the release of the highly-anticipated Catwoman and Robin figures, the latest assortment of Arkham Asylum figures will keep collectors satisfied in the meantime. The latest assortment of Arkham Asylum figures consists of a unique armored version of Batman and the Joker's main squeeze, Harley Quinn.

Elusive New Villain With A Stunning Look...

If you’re a gamer or just a fan of Batman you’re sure to be familiar with the Batman: Arkham series of video games. The latest, Batman: Arkham Knight, was released this summer and quickly became a hit with console players, and of course DC Collectibles hasn’t been far behind with cool figures and statues of the characters in it. And while the newest incarnation of Dark Knight is updated and unique, it’s another character in the game that has really grabbed the attention of both players and collectors. Of course, we’re talking about the Arkham Knight, a mysterious villain that was an instant hit with his incredible character design. Everything about the mystery man (?) screams cool and tough, and early information on the game made it clear that he was going to be a worthy adversary for the Caped Crusader. There are several collectibles of the new villain on the market already, but today we’re going to take a look at the premiere version, the DC Collectibles Batman: Arkham Knight Arkham Knight Statue! Just be careful when scrolling down as there’s a special feature to this statue that spoils the ending of the game; you’ll see a warning and then you’re on your own...

One Of The Finest Star Wars Action Figures Of All Time...

If you're a Star Wars collector and you don't yet own the Hot Toys DX07 Star Wars: Luke Skywalker (Bespin Outfit) 1/6th scale figure, your collection is incomplete.

Hot Toys, in conjunction with Sideshow Collectibles and Lucasfilm , has produced what many collectors will consider one of the finest - if not the finest - Star Wars action figure ever released with this amazing release. Featuring two fully-articulated, accessorized and detailed 12" figures as well as an impressive diorama base and figure stand, this figure was recently included in multiple "Top 10 of 2012" lists from our staff and is no doubt on many collector's lists as well for a favorite from this last year.

Earlier this week, DC Collectibles provided their August 2016 solicitations and revealed two of their upcoming Suicide Squad movie statues of Katana and Boomerang. However, images were not available at that time.


USA Today has the exclusive first-look at the full set of statues including Katana, Boomerang, Killer Croc, Deadshot, Harley Quinn, and The Joker. The statues will stand at 12″ tall and will be priced at $150 each.

From the Fantasy Adventure Online Card Battle Game...

The next Ani*Statue from Kotobukiya returns to the world of Rage of Bahamut, the fantasy adventure online card battle game from Cygames. Featuring unique designs and characters, the game has reached worldwide popularity and is perfect for inspiring statues. Up next after Dark Angel Olivia, Spinaria, and Little Queen Vania is Forte!

A detailed 3D representation of the popular character based on artwork from the online game, Forte replicates her appearance on her Legend card from the Demons Faction. The demonic girl stands ready to unleash destruction and take on any opponent in her ornate armor. Forte is posed with her feet spread wide for balance as she holds her massive lances out to either side. Her matching short black dress and armor are decorated with intricate gold designs, and the tatters of a red cloak swirl around her. Forte’s Skyrend Spears contrast beautifully, one black and the other white, both with gold details. The warrior woman’s unearthly origins are apparent in her large red eyes and the twin demon horns rising from her head while her long hair whips about behind her.

Forte stands over 9 ½ inches tall (1/8 scale) on a stylish display base. This demon warrior will be available July 2016 priced at $139.99.

The Lich King Comes To Life In This Massive Impressive Statue...

If you play or have ever played World of Warcraft, you immediately recognize the name Arthas Menethil. The son of King Terenas Menethil II and heir to the throne, Arthas received training as a paladin under the expert tutelage of the famous warrior Uther the Lightbringer and was inducted into the Knights of the Silver Hand at age 19, where he quickly became a renowned warrior in the savage First War. However, Arthas's life took a tragic turn when he lead the warriors of light into a battle against the dreadlord Mal'Ganis and the Plague of Undeath.

The Scourge destroyed the innocent, transforming them into an army of undead and ruining the peace and harmony of the kingdom. Obsessed with obtaining the Runeblade Forstmourne and destroying the evil dreadlord who'd brought ruin to his kingdom, Arthas journey took him over the edge as he lost his army, honor and sanity in his quest for revenge. Upon obtaining the blade and defeating Mal'Ganis, Arthas becomes a death knight and leads the Scourge himself, killing his father and taking the mantle of the Lich King for himself.

Now Sideshow, in working with Blizzard Entertainment, brings to life The Lich King Arthas in all of his glorious evil. Crafted in high quality polystone, the dreaded Lich King Arthas Statue stands an impressive 19" high, 19" wide and 20" deep and features a light-up feature that'll impress all who see it.

PACKAGING:

The Arthas statue ships in a massive cardboard box which houses yet another massive cardboard box. Inside this interior box collectors will find the actual art box packaging (above) which holds the statue's pieces. The statue's various pieces - including body, shoulder armor, base, sword, helm and base - are made of both polystone and high density plastic and each piece is securely held in a form-fitting Styrofoam container inside the art box. This ensures each piece is undamaged and ready for construction and display upon arrival. Triple boxed and securely stored, this is one of the heaviest and best packaged statues I've ever come across; fans and collectors should find this enormous package truly impressive when it arrives to them.

SCULPT

Designed by Kingslayer Rhooria with sculpting by Brian Fay and Idol Workshop, Arthas the Lich King stands fully armored and frightening, the haunted blade Frostmourne drawn and prepared to face his fate. While photos of this statue help highlight the gorgeous detail, there's nothing like seeing it firsthand to truly impress.

Each and every armor plate compliments the whole suit and the design of the character, years older than this statue, has never before been captured this elegantly or with this much detail. From the armored gauntlets and gloves - covered in spikes and featuring fine leather-like texture and detailing, to the leg armor and fur-covered boots - featuring leather-like straps and skulls at the knees as well as rib bone-like sculpting atop the cuisse (thigh armor), Arthas looks screen accurate and impressive beyond measure. Of note, the massive, wind-blown cape flows behind the figure on the figure's right side, sweeping from the shoulder armor and around the base to balance the statue's ice pillars, which rear from the ice bases' left side.

The skull motif is immediately recognizable across the whole of the statue, beginning with the large skull across the right shoulder pauldron (above) and extending to the skulls on the shoulder plates, the belt buckle, the knees and around the ice base. The ice base (below), itself an impressive sculpture with fine detailing throughout - helps place the statue in a game-accurate environment. Arthas stands, displayed with massive ice pillars and spikes protruding from the icy ground, the base setting an awesome scene and placing the character within the Icecrown Citadel, an instantly recognizable level for gamers and fans of the character.

PAINT APPLICATION:

The impressive paint applications by Anthony Mestas and Bernardo Esquivel help breath life into the sculpt, which would be incomplete without such gorgeous colors and shading. The statue features a dark color palette across the jagged, layered armor which is balanced by the smooth cold colors featured on the ice base. The Lich King's dark and brooding design features gold trim and silver shading across the armored plates with the white, snow-speckle to provide depth.

The previously mentioned cape (above) provides an impressive look at the way Mestas and Esquivel handle the snowy paint details across the figure. The white, snow-covered look is heavily applied at the bottom of the cape, boots and loincloth and lightly dusts the rest of the figure's armor. The snow dusting across the full figure helps provide additional depth as well as ensures the figure looks at home in the environment.

LIGHT-UP FEATURE

A compliment to the overall look and feel of the Arthas statue is the light-up feature, providing a bright, blue light which shines from both Arthas' eyes (above) and the eyes of the Frostmourne runeblade (below). These lights ignite when a small button on the back of the base is pushed. Powered by a pair of AA batteries, housed in the bottom of the base, these lights add an ambiance to the statue and, when shown in a dark room or setting, provide an engaging, haunting look.

COST & OVERALL IMPRESSION

With a retail price of $349.99, die-hard World of Warcraft fans will see the Sideshow Collectibles' World of Warcraft ARTHAS Statue as an investment in their continually growing WoW collection, though casual fans might look at a smaller, less expensive Lich King figure or statue as an alternative. That said, those fans would be missing out on one of the most impressive World of Warcraft collectibles ever produced.

This Arthas statue is a massive, beautifully sculpted and gorgeously painted piece which rivals the finest Sideshow has ever produced. I might be angering video game and sci-fi fans in saying this, but I'd say this piece is just as impressive if not more impressive than the previously released StarCraft II Tychus Findlay Terran Marine Statue.

Overall, for those World of Warcraft fans who want nothing but the best, there's no rivaling the Sideshow Collectibles' World of Warcraft ARTHAS Statue.

The original interstellar hunter gets a make-over...

For collector's who missed out on the original 1987 movie figure, this is a great opportunity to fill the gap in their collection.

Nunchucks For The Win...

The year is only half over but I’m already ready to give out the award for best action figures of the year. Playmates attempt at bringing us updated version of our four favorite heroes in a halfshell not only succeeded in my opinion, but it has revitalized my interest in something that was only “something I was REALLY into” as a child. Truth be told, I never grew tired of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles but my interest lay dormant since no other version connected with me the same way the original had. Playmates Toys’ TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES CLASSIC EDITION is the line we’ve all been really waiting for. We looked at Raphael and Leonardo previously but today, we’re checking out the party animal of the bunch: Michelangelo.
