Hot Toys 2013 Toy Fairs Exclusive 1/6 Superman (Evil Version) Collectible Figure in Superman III

continued from previous post...

Originally a brave and kind-hearted hero with a strong sense of justice, morality and righteousness due to the exposure to synthetic kryptonite in Superman III the movie, Superman has descended into darkness and becomes an evil version of Superman. The showdown between him and Clark Kent at the junkyard is a critical part of the film.

Hot Toys is happy to present the 1/6th scale Superman (Evil Version) Collectible Figure from Superman III as one of the 2013 Toy Fairs Exclusive items. This collectible is specially crafted based on the image of Christopher Reeve in the movie, highlighting the detailed head sculpt, movie-accurate costume and specially-designed figure stage.

Paying tribute to Christopher Reeve, we are pleased to support the Christopher & Dana Reeve Foundation and their mission to advance research into spinal cord injury and improve quality of life for people living with paralysis.

Hot Toys Toy Fair Exclusives 2013 will be Captain America, Joe Colton & evil Superman

From Hot Toys:
It’s summer time again where some of the biggest toy fairs will be hosted. To celebrate the start of this bustling season, Hot Toys is thrilled to share with you a first glance at one of the Toy Fairs Exclusive items this year – the Star Spangled Man Version of Captain America Collectible Figurine.

Please stay tuned for the pre-order information of the “Star Spangled Man with a plan” as well as the reveal of more Hot Toys 2013 Toy Fairs Exclusive items.

Besides Captain America (Chris Evans), General Joe Colton (Bruce Willis) from G.I. Joe: Retaliation (2013) and evil Superman (Christopher Reeve) from Superman III will be the Hot Toys Toy Fair Exclusives for 2013. Scroll down to see the rest of the pictures

The addition of the cue cards on the back of Cap's shield is a nice touch. You can check out my toy blog post of 1/6 scale Chris Evans as Steve Rogers in Classic Captain America costume by Captain Action HERE and HERE

Superman's Evil Persona was a separate being that was created from Superman, due to exposure to Synthetic Kryptonite which temporarily separated him into two beings. Apparently, most of his unpleasant characteristics were imbued on his evil twin, who acted without morals or care for others.("Superman III" - This character exists in the films continuity only)

General Joe Colton is portrayed by Bruce Willis in G.I. Joe: Retaliation, the sequel to G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra. In the film, General Colton has one of George S. Patton's M-1911 pistols. 1/6 scale Bruce Willis head sculpts have been released by the dozens and it shouldn't be too difficult to kitbash a Bruce Willis General Joe Colton figure.

These are what the Toy Fairs exclusives will be for Hot Toys for 2013. I think a lot of us are breathing a sigh of relief and thankful that this will not be hurting our pockets or wallets much ;p

Flirty Girl Collectibles new 1/6 female clothing sets - female combat uniform suits (three colors)

These are Flirty Girl Collectibles new "Enforcer" Outfit Sets. The name is a bit misleading as the oufits have a stronger military vibe than anything else i.e. not much to do with enforcing. Each set consists of a Highly Detailed Combat Jacket with military patch accents, Combat Pants, Web Belt with Metal Buckle, and Tank Top with Red Star logo on the front.

Three sets will be available - Camouflage (with camouflage tank top shirt), Navy Blue (with white tank top shirt), and Olive Drab Green (with camouflage tank top shirt).  while the Camouflage set reminds me of the movie G.I. Joe Cover Girl.

Flirty Girl Collectibles ENFORCER (Set A) CAMO 1/6 Scale Female Clothing Set will come with Highly Detailed CAMO print Combat jacket (zipper closure, metal stud details), CAMO print Combat pants, CAMO print knit tank top. BOOTS NOT INCLUDED (CLOTHING SET ONLY)

Looks like Flirty Girl Collectibles used the recently released Hot Toys The Avengers 1/6th scale Scarlett Johansson Black Widow head sculpt (REVIEW HERE) to model their combat uniform suits (all three colors)

Flirty Girl Collectibles ENFORCER (Set B) NAVY 1/6 Scale Female Clothing Set will come with Highly Detailed NAVY BLUE Combat jacket (zipper closure, metal stud details), NAVY BLUE Combat pants, WHITE knit tank top. BOOTS NOT INCLUDED (CLOTHING SET ONLY)

Flirty Girl Collectibles ENFORCER (Set C) OLIVE GREEN 1/6 Scale Female Clothing Set will come with Highly Detailed OLIVE GREEN Combat jacket (zipper closure, metal stud details), OLIVE GREEN Combat pants, CAMO Print knit tank top. BOOTS NOT INCLUDED (CLOTHING SET ONLY)

The Olive Drab Green set instantly brings to mind images of the Real American Hero G.I. Joe Lady Jaye

ETA Late AUGUST 2013
NOTE: Body, hands, boots and head not included with this set

DoublePlay Walking Dead 1/6 Zombie Warrior Crossbow Man 12-inch Figure (Daryl Dixon?)

Daryl Dixon is a fictional character from the AMC television series The Walking Dead, portrayed by Norman Reedus. Daryl is a Southern hunter and expert tracker who constantly lives in the shadow of his brother, Merle. Like his brother, he is initially shown as volatile, short-tempered, and of questionable repute, but is tolerated by the group due to his survival skills.

From very early in the series, he is shown to be an extremely proficient zombie killer in both close quarters and ranged weaponry, and later becomes Rick's trusted right-hand man and protector. He also becomes "the go-to guy" of sorts for the group and is now well-liked and respected for his endeavors. Daryl is shown to be an expert marksman, but his signature weapon is a Horton Scout HD 125 crossbow, which Reedus says he takes home after filming.

This is DoublePlay (another new company?) Walking Dead 1/6 scale Zombie Warrior Crossbow Man 12-inch Figure and he certainly looks a lot like Norman Reedus' Daryl Dixon character. Comes with quite a bit of stuff too to show off his survival skills including dead squirrels ;p Scroll down to see more pictures.

The middle finger - quite a common accessory nowadays haha DAM Toys Gangsters Kingdom 1/6 Spade J 12" figure – animated Jason Statham – also came with one (see my review HERE)

World Box had previewed their 1/6 scale "The Old Guy" 12-inch Figure who is supposed to be Merle Dixon from The Walking Dead earlier in June (posted HERE in my toy blog) so now it seems both Dixon brothers are getting the 1/6 scale treatment to pander to 12-inch collectors.
