J. Nardi http://topactionfigures.net/star-wars-ralph-mcquarrie-concept-collection-action-figure-set/comment-page-1/#comment-685 D. J. Nardi Wed, 21 Jul 2010 02:23:33 +0000 http://topactionfigures.net/star-wars-ralph-mcquarrie-concept-collection-action-figure-set/#comment-685 I love the idea behind this. It's so seldom that we see anything regarding Ralph McQuarrie's concept art for the original Star Wars. These figures are a great representation of what might have been. The differences between the concepts and the finals are mind-blowing. Leia was more like Han Solo with a smuggler's outfit and blaster. The stormtroopers had lightsabers! As figures, they're also fun. They all have incredible detail. I particularly like the snowtrooper's dirty look. The only drawback is that the stormtrooper figure does not come with the shield pictured on the box. That's too bad, but frankly for the price of this set, I really don't mind - it's a great deal.

]]> Comment on Diamond Select: Iron Man 2: War Machine Action Figure by S. F. http://topactionfigures.net/diamond-select-iron-man-2-war-machine-action-figure/comment-page-1/#comment-678 S. F. Tue, 13 Jul 2010 03:43:04 +0000 http://topactionfigures.net/diamond-select-iron-man-2-war-machine-action-figure/#comment-678 When I first saw the prelim sculpt months ago, I was really excited about this release. It looked highly detailed, especially the facial sculpt for Don Cheadle. I just picked it up at Borders (broke down and couldn't wait for my Amazon pre-order, which kept on getting delayed), and while it does look cool, there are some serious flaws that keep it from being exceptional. First off, the head sculpt is just as cool as the previews lead you to believe. It looks amazingly lifelike, and the mask fits snugly both on top of his head to reveal his face, and over his face, so there is no real chance of accidentally losing it in either position. Overall it does look pretty cool, but after having bought the 4 inch Hasbro figure, I did find a few things lacking. First of all, the eyes are done in red, to match the movie War Machine, but the chest and hand pieces are done in blue, like Iron Man. If you are going to go with one color, stick with it all around. Either make everything red or everything blue to match. It just looks a little strange. It also would have been nice to get additional sets of hands besides the default closed fists, just for a little variety, but no big thing. The biggest complaint I have, and this is after comparing it to the 4" War Machine, is the lack of articulation in this figure. I like the rage of motion the 4" offers in the arms, and even though the ball joint in the legs isn't my favorite, it offers more range of motion than the Diamond Select figure does. With this figure, you can't move the arms away from the sides (like if you wanted to form a "T" with the figure), and it's weird how much that hampers the range of movement of the figure, and therefore the ways you can pose it. It is also lacking all of the letterings and markings of the Hasbro figure (on the deltoids and the right oblique). All in all, a good looking figure, but it does say something when I actually think a figure half its size is done a lot better.

Aparicio Tue, 13 Jul 2010 03:25:34 +0000 http://topactionfigures.net/diamond-select-iron-man-2-war-machine-action-figure/#comment-677 This is a great figure. Great detail and durability. The removable mask is an awesome feature and under the mask is a quite accurate representation of Don Cheadle's face. The arrticulation is not the best. But most marvel select don't have much anyway. NOTE: In the movie war machine has a red arc reactor. However in this figure, he has a blue reactor with red eyes. That does not match apparently. But it is an easy fix. I simply used a solid red paint to fix his reactor. This is a great figure over all. I would reccommend this to any iron man or marvel fan. Rating: 5 / 5 This is a great figure.

Lozano Tue, 13 Jul 2010 03:09:01 +0000 http://topactionfigures.net/diamond-select-iron-man-2-war-machine-action-figure/#comment-676 Another great figure by Marvel Select or Diamond Select toys, whatever they are calling themselves now. The sculpts are great and the likeness of Don Cheadle is pretty spot on! I need to comment on the Border's exclusive version of this figure. The figures are exactly the same between the exclusive and the regular edition except that on the Border's version the Arc reactor on the chest is a blueish color similar to Iron Man. However, to be movie acurate it should be a redish color glow. If you want the movie acurate version skip the Border's exclusive figure! The regular version of War Machine comes with the redish color arc reactor paint and the eyes match (they are redish also!) Don't know why the exclusive version got it wrong or why anybody would want the incorrect color arc reactor in the first place? Other than the paint mixup, great figure!
