DamToys have a new WANDERING EARTH set out and they look fantastic. I loved the film - classic Asian cinema goodness!
Take a look at the trailer if you have not seen it yet. Currently on Netflix.
It's fun sci fi and I loved the tech in it. I scored two of the trucks as block builds, but this sixth scale figures are SUPER cool...and a bit too rich for my blood, sadly. :(
(( Dam Toys - feel free to send one or two my way and I'll review them for you! ::::wink::: ))
The detail on these figures looks fantastic as do the head sculpts. These ultra-realistic figures look like they've been plucked from the screen and are pack with glorious details that make them really pop.
I saw them on the MONKEY DEPOT site for pre-order - roughly $400 to $350 a pop. It makes sense. They have a lot of gear for sure. I'm hoping that I'll be able to part out some of the gear later on for my own build, but we'll see.
List of what the figures come with at the bottom of the page here.
SUPER cool!

I snagged another TBLeague figure. ( First one was MONTH that you can see here ) I'm really digging the figures and think they did a great job on them both. Formerly Phicen, TBLEague is their new entity and it seems like the quality is top notch.
I do wonder how they will hold up after time. I've seen some issues being posted with tears in the skin, but I also see that TBLeague clearly warns against bending the arms and legs too much and I'm betting the damaged area photos I've seen might have been caused by users some of the time.
I got the TBLeague S22A pale, medium bust figure and...yes....it's anatomically correct. I won't be making use of that particular feature :::grin::: but...yep...there are parts. I really dig not seeing the seams and I'm playing with clothing combos that show off those sections. I figure there is no need to have a seamless body if clothing covers them all up anyway.
The body has metal pegs which is lovely and is actually rather heavy overall. Sturdy, too. She can stand by herself and when I pop the hands and feet on and off, I have little to no fear about snapping a joint in the process.
The figure doesn't come with a head, so I went with the SUPER DUCK SDH015 Female Head Sculpt H#pale Menga Style which is great! It's the "Menga" (I think they mean Manga) style, so it has a look that is a bit otherworldly, but I really dig the eyes and overall paint up on the head and it matches the body coloring well.
Lastly, you can get some great poses out of the figure. SUPER FLEXIBLE is what the figure is marketed as and....yup! The figure is very flexible!
All in all....LOVING the figure. I'll probably end up getting one more of them in the future.
Next step - better clothing. She kinda looks like NINJA HOOKER right now. :) These are supposed to be shorts, but....yeah...more like a leather swimsuit bottom. :::grin::::
Figures like ARMY ATTRACTIVE VIOLA usually don't do much for me. I think there are far too many "sexy figures" out there on the woman side. And, try buying outfits that don't look like streetwalkers - it's tough. However, this figure has a really interesting face sculpt and style. The Nazi-like uniform is cool even if it is a bit non-PC and the overall look of the figure is well styled and interesting. But, being honest here, the figure still looks like a high class call girl. :)
The company ORIGINAL EFFECT is based in China and is putting the figure out in Feb 2013. Their blurb about the figure says that it's part of this little entertainment package that includes things like a comic and board game. Interesting.
"Army Attractive series is originated by OE. It forms a brand-new legend label which contains comic, doll, board game (cooperate with Board game Design).It's a story about in the near future, an unperceivable Dictatorial power rises again. Its mission is creating a perfect ehthic, being crude to the world. Viola is the first ethic raised, with white skins, light yellow hair, blue-green eyes and is the accomplice of the evil organization. But Viola changes its side when they had been gone through of the massacre executed by the organization and became the fighter against it. Meanwhile, more and more challenges are waiting for her……"
