Darren Carnall's Legolas custom head

Thanks to Darren for sending me a custom head sculpt of Legolas from LOTR, sculpted by him. The face is more realistic to Orlando than the one produced by Sideshow. Hopefully I can give it a repaint when I have the time.

Predator 2 1/6 scale

Looks like Hot Toys x Sideshow are releasing another Predator figure soon, this time from Predator 2, more details here. The figure looks impressive, with as much details compared to AVP Wolf predator. Having seen this I most probably dig out Predator 2 and watch it again, since the last time I watched this was ten years ago, which was amazing then.

Les Mort 1/6 scale

So it seems that Les Mort will be released soon, having seen this pre-order auction. The character was created by Ashley Wood for his book D'Airain Adventure.

Wolverine Origin Trailer leaked

I guess this was shown exclusively to people at the SDCC but someone was able to film it. You could hear the fans going hysteric.

Big Bramble

Ashley Wood showcased his latest 1/6 scale robot at the SDCC (San Diego Comic Con). His latest model is called Bramble, from his WWR book. The figure looks amazing and should be quite articulated, having seen his previous model Bertie.

I've recently purchased both the Bertie figures, so will post some pics up when they arrive. Cost me a bomb, but I consider Ashley Wood as one of the best artist alive or ever to graced this planet, having followed his early work in Spawn and lucky enough to own couple of his orignal art work.

Movie Auction Nuts!

At the end of this month will see a range of Hollywood's goodies being auctioned off, as reported in the Telegraph. From July 31st to August 1st Profiles in History will be auctioning off movie collectibles from films like Indiana Jones, Star Wars and Spider-man.

If I win £1 million in the lottery this week the TIE fighter will be my main purchase. Estimated to reach £100,000, unbelievable!

Been blogged

Reconnaissance in military term ~ is the active seeking to determine a foe's intentions by collecting and gathering information about an enemy's composition and capabilities along with pertinent environmental conditions, via direct observation, usually by scouts or military intelligence soldiers especially trained in critical surveillance.

I'm no military, but have decided to start this blog to document my interests and hobbies. Basically my own recon mission. Having started collecting models and figures I thought I'll start blogging what's going on in my little world, since there are a lot of weird and wicked being produced by artists and companies that I've got to share. Ultimately I'm just a big fanboy.

Another reason I started this blog is because I plan on doing customization on some figures, mainly 1/6 scale figures (think action man). This is due to having seen work done by Darren Carnall and Feng. I did do some customization and sculpting before, but due Uni and work commitment I never got the project going. Now I feel I have the time do start this interest again, and learn new things that I always wanted to know.

So watch this space!
