Cool. I don't think I've actually seen the Kirk in person, just the other figures from his wave assortment. Although if I did I've since forgotten.
Look at how amazing this is, just stunning... New Hot Toys 1/6 scale Princess Leia.

If only Hasbro's figures of Princess Leia could look even half that good at Hasbro retail prices. Hasbro can do amazing facial and head sculpt work at times but for some reason they have a lot of trouble with the likenesses of both Carrie Fisher and Mark Hamill and that's been going on for about twenty years.
I write for a geek/pop culture site and they wanted a selfie pic so here is mine
Does anyone know who drew the poster that is behind me. Is that Hildebrandt
If you thought Hot Toys topped themselves when they revealed their scaled to the figures (1/6) TIE Fighter and Millennium Falcon cockpit...
They have just announced that they have made THE ENTIRE MILLENNIUM FALCON (same scale!), and will have it on display at Ani-Com and Games Hong Kong, which starts on the 24th. At 1/6 scale, it will be 18 feet long!Good lord... I imagine that has to be a record, not counting the full-size ship they use for filming.
Now, there's no word yet whether this is something that they will actually be selling to the public, or if it's just a one-off they are making just for display at events. Though I honestly can't imagine they'd be actually selling this.
If they did hypothetically decide to sell it, the price (plus the crazy shipping cost, of course) would be beyond obscene. And of course there's the matter of where exactly one would put such a thing.

The event doesn't start until tomorrow, but some pics of the display are already out. Here's one with people right next to it to give you a sense of of how big the piece of junk truly is:
Just wow.

Next from Hot Toys: an 875 foot long Star Destroyer!

Went to a comic book show in Dallas this past Saturday, found the Walgreen's exclusive Agent Venom for $25 and the "Harley Quinn's Revenge" pack from Batman: Arkham City, consistin' of Robin, Harley Quinn, Batman, Scarface & Nightwing for $45.
A third dealer's table had the Arrow's Arrow & Canary, but the dude want $35 for each of 'em, or both for sixty. Screw that.

Some pics of Hot Toys' Star Wars and Marvel displays at Ani-Com and Games Hong Kong, including a look inside the lounge area of the Falcon, recreating that scene from ANH: link
The Marvel display features Quicksilver (Avengers version), Drax, Ant-Man, Yellowjacket and Nick Fury, among others.

I'm house-sitting for my sister. She and her husband are big on boats (he grew up in Point Pleasant, NJ), so she got him this model for his birthday one year. I just realized it was Clintasha sized! So here is their new adventure...
Sailing away!
"I'm great at boats."

Was down in Austin over the weekend, picked up a few action figures that I can't find around here...
Art Asylum's Constable Odo, bought at Wonko's to replace one I lost a couple of years ago
The Penguin and Sickle, Batman: Arkham City, bought it at Austin Books & Comics
- and -
Ra's Al Ghul and Talia Al Ghul from Batman: Arkham City, bought 'em at the Sidekick Store
And not exactly an action figure, but my friend Esther brought be a gift when we had lunch today.
A Marvel-Themed Ice Tray

Here it is, the new First Order TIE fighter
And let's be honest, not much new product has been revealed thanks to the continuing lid that both Disney and Lucasfilm still have over many details of the new film and its licensed merchandise.

If I wasn't a Trek fan, I'd be wondering why guy came with a bucket to shit in.
I've got that Ra's Al Ghul and Thalia. Ra's is great, but Talia has some stability issues. She's a chronic shelf diver.

There's a "Profit and Lace" joke somewhere in here and I for one am not going to go looking for it.
