Review: Blowing Stuff Up With threeA Toys' WWRP Mk3 Heavy Bramble

Posted 5/14/12 2:30 pm EST by in Reviews, Sideshow Collectibles, Toys


"Counting bodies like sheep."

That's the heart-warming mantra emblazoned on the arm (and incredibly huge rocket launcher) being toted around by the Grave Digger version of the Mk3 Heavy Bramble. His job is to kill zombies... or humans... or whatever the hell else he feels like! threeA Toys has been making quality figures based on the artwork of Ashley Wood and IDW's World War Robot comics for a while now and they just keep getting better. While the larger 1/6th scale releases are in the WWR line, this little pile of awesome is part of the WWRP, or World War Robot Portable. We previously reviewed a couple of the Armstrong series of mechanical soldiers, and pre-ordered this figure around the same time. Was it worth the wait? Read on to find out!

Hot Toys Teases Their Upcoming Hulk Figure from 'The Avengers'

Posted 5/3/12 3:22 pm EST by in News, Sideshow Collectibles, Toys


Hot Toys has been crafting 1/6th scale action figures that seem like they could only be created through sorcery. Their uncanny Christopher Reeve Superman figure topped our Top Ten Toys List for all of 2011, and it looks like their shooting for that honor once again (seeing as how it's so prestigious) with this teaser image of their upcoming Hulk figure based on his look in "The Avengers" flick. While Dr. Banner's face is hidden from view, just look at how massive he is compared to their Iron Man! We're assuming he'll have an articulated armature beneath the skin, but so far Hot Toys are keeping things close to the vest.

From the Hot Toys Facebook page:

The Avengers has smashed box office records in all 39 markets just few days after its launch! We believe that many fans have been surprised by the superhuman creature Hulk in the movie! Here we are proud to present our making of his muscular body!

We'll report more on this figure as more photos and a release date are made available. For now, be sure to check out Hot Toys' Facebook page, and order some of their amazing figures through their American distributor Sideshow Collectibles!

Stay tuned to MTV Geek for all your Hot Toys and "The Avengers" coverage!

Sideshow Collectibles Returns to G.I. Joe with Their 1/6th Scale Snake Eyes and Timber

Posted 4/9/12 11:30 am EST by in News, Sideshow Collectibles, Toys


It's a great time to be a G.I. Joe fan! 2012 is shaping up to be quite the year with the upcoming film sequel "G.I. Joe: Retaliation", IDW's triple threat of incredible comic series, Hasbro producing some of the best 3 3/4" Joes to ever hit toy shelves, the "Renegades" and "A Real American Hero" animated series making their way to Netflix, and of course with Sideshow Collectibles' insanely detailed 12" figure line. Each release of the high-end collectible figures has been better than the last, and with a long sold-out Snake Eyes, it was high time for another. Not only does this figure remind us of the 3 3/4" Hasbro figure released last year thanks to it's multiple heads and versatility, but this time the black-clad commando comes with his trusty wolf Timber! Snake Eyes has now reached Wolverine-like levels in G.I. Joe media thanks in no small part to his look, and Sideshow has made sure to drive that point home. We have got to own this when it hits this September! Read More...

The Baroness Joins the Ranks of Sideshow Collectibles

Posted 12/12/11 1:00 pm EST by in News, Sideshow Collectibles, Toys


G.I. Joe A Real American Hero has always featured strong female characters on both sides of the moral fence, and the Baroness is easily Cobra's premiere femme fatale. While there have been a number of 3 3/4" action figures made of her, none have ever even remotely captured her seductive charms-- hey, we're into those glasses, alright! Now our friends at Sideshow Collectibles are on the verge of releasing a premium Format Statue that will cause many a fight with our significant others over where our true affections lie.

Stunning Photos of Hot Toys Christopher Reeve Superman Figure!

Posted 5/26/11 1:52 pm EST by in Movies, News, Sideshow Collectibles, Toys


Amazing! That was our first exclamation (minus the profanity) after seeing the newly released photos of Hot Toys’ Superman 1/6th scale figure based on the likeness of Christopher Reeve. In recent years, Hot Toys has shown a tremendous aptitude for making life-like 1/6th scale figures of our favorite heroes and villains of film. From perfect costuming to intricate paintwork and sculpting, these collectibles have become the pinnacle of high-end toy collecting. Other companies have licensed the likeness of Christopher Reeve in recent months, and have even released their own movie-versions of the Man of Steel, but regardless of how well done those have been – this is the definitive version. No question.
