Batman: the Brave and the Bold Kryptonite Collision Battle Pack

Got the Kryptonite Collision Battle Pack from the Batman: the Brave and the Bold line. We get three figures, namely Superman, Metallo and of course Batman. This pack is a bit of a surprise as it wasn't showcased at any of the toy cons. But I expected Superman to get a figure in this line.    

Superman is a pretty nice figure. He's got a fresh faced, friendly look. His head is a bit too rounded for my liking, looks like he's been having one too many donuts. Also wished they used a different body. The line above his S shield is rather unsightly.

Batman is pretty much the same figure we've seen before. This time he's mostly in black with a shiny, silver torso.

The figures use the standard bodies of this line. Holes on the limbs and back allow you to attach various accessoires.

Batman comes with a sword accessory. An odd choice of weapon but its cool looking. I like the bat design on it.

Metallo looks like a Cartoon Network character. The Grim Reaper maybe, or a villain in Secret Saturdays. Interesting design. Don't recall if he ever appeared like this. Not used to the colours but his size makes up for it. 

He can only move his arms. I forsee his extended arm being a problem when I set up a Brave and the Bold display shelf. He can hold other normal sized figures in his left hand and shake them. There's a spring catch at his fingers so he'll be able to hold figures firmly. 

Metallo has another cool feature. Push his chest to reveal various stages of battle damage. 

I mentioned Metallo holding other figures and shaking them. It's mainly a play feature. He cannot stand on his own while holding another figure.  



The figures are welcome addtions to the collection and I had fun playing with them. This pack good set to get. Unfortunately, it's not available locally.      



The Batman EXP Blaster Batgirl

I wanted this Blaster Batgirl from the Batman EXP line back when it was released. Due to budget reasons, I had to make some cuts and she was one of them. Almost forgot about her till a seller I was buying from had one for a good price.   

   

     

The main reason for getting this is for Barbara Gordon as she appeared in the cartoon. Okay the costume is the wrong colour but her head is a pretty good likeness.  

Her Bat costume comprises  of two pieces, the cape and the mask / chest piece. It looks big on her. The design is not bad, I like the samurai style thingy at the sides. 

She comes with a disc firing accessory. You need the key to activate it. It's too big and heavy for her to hold with her soft arms. She also has a base which is not really needed.

 

A shot with the original. 

Up against some villains. These few are my favourites. Oh, and Bane too.

With the purchase of Blaster Batgirl, I think I can close the shelf on this collection.

Iron Man Armored Avenger 3.75" Hammer Drone

More Iron Man stuff. This time its the  3.75" Hammer Drone from the new Iron Man line. Or I should say extension of the IM2 line. With IM2 figures still clogging the pegs and Thor on the way, I decided to ship this in. 

The number for this figure is 44. Useful to know if you're looking for him on the pegs.  

I'm not sure if this drone appeared in the IM2 movie. I thought it was the suit worn by Whiplash at the end but I've been told that its not. Said to be very similar though.   

The Hammer Drone is the same figure as the Weapon Assault Drone, aside from the head. Speaking of which, it looks a bit like Ultimate Iron Man's head.      

If you own any of the IM2 drones, you'll know that the design restricts articulation. The following is where I'm most irritated over. It cannot raise its legs.  

The Hammer Drone comes with chains and whips which you can interchange.

The drone line-up. Hammer Drone is the shiniest of the lot. Almost the whole figure is painted with metallic paint. 

Tried out Whiplash's head on it. His hair prevents it from fitting properly. I would trim the hair but I didn't want to spoil my only piece. 

Yay for another drone. Boo to the various Iron Man of this wave. Though I will consider the new Mark V and light up War Machine if they reach retail. Hope to see Black Widow and Stark, Rhodes head figures one day.  

Iron Man Legends Titanium Man

Surprised to see this at local retail. Shocked at the price, which is around US$35. That's almost double the price of the 6" IM movie figures from the year before. I still purchased it in the end. A store discount helped make the decision. But I was not as happy than I normally would be buying a sought after figure from retail.

Titanium Man is part of the Iron Man Legends series. One of four figures in this wave, the other three being Iron Man Mark VI, Warmachine and Hulkbuster Iron Man.

I like the packaging. It is bright and attractive. There's an Avengers Assemble logo on it. I hope it means there's a Thor and Captain America Legends series in the works and not just for promotional purposes.

Titanium Man is a nice figure. Would prefer if he was a bit taller and bulkier though. Check out the pics for yourself. 

The articulation is one of the best I've seen on a Hasbro Marvel figure.

The shoulder pads can be adjusted a little. In the pic below, his right side is at its highest point while his left side is at its lowest. While it allows for slightly better arm movement, he's not going to be doing jumping jacks. 

He's got double jointed elbows but the bands on his arms restrict their usefulness.

His wrists can be rotated and have side to side articulation. 

Titanium Man comes with a double missile launcher. The attachment is too big and it can barely stay on his forearm. You can try to attach it to the band but you risk breaking it.  

A comparison shot. These were a few I had handy. Just noticed his head was tilted downwards. He's around the same height as Mark VI and Silver Centurion, and taller than Face-off. 

Some shots with Iron Man.

I'm okay with the light green colour. It actually looks pretty good. However, would have prefered if they stuck with dark green, then it would match the 3.75" version. Come to think of it, it may be time to dig out the 90s Toybiz version.

Titanium Man is a good figure to get. I hope you find him for lower than what I paid.   

Till next time.

 

WWE Defining Moments "Macho Man" Randy Savage

Ooooohhh Yeaaaaaah ! It's the Macho Man Randy Savage. I watched quite a number of his matches back when he was in the WWF. Enjoyed his commentary as well. Love the voice. Watching his comic con promo video brought back lots of memories. Happy to finally get a hold of this figure.  

Love the accessories, especially the jacket. Just realised I did not include a little silver string thingy.

Without his shades, the holes at the sides of his head can be distracting.

This one is over !
