Check out these new little figures coming out. They’re called Weenicons and based on different pop culture icons. First peeks show figures for Michael Jackson and Mr. T and the rest of the A-Team. Other figures include Rocky Balboa and Alex from A Clockwork Orange.
These are great. Everyone is bound to like something from this line. The figures will be released in polyresin first then hopefully in vinyl.
Hot Toys has a 12″ Sheva figure from the Resident Evil 5 video game. It’s fully articulated with thirty points of articulation and comes with the regular fabric clothing and lots of gear. She has jeans, leather-like boots, tank top and bra, armbands, earrings, and necklaces.
Her weapons set is a virtual arsenal that includes a knife, a M92F handgun, VZ-61 machine gun, an AK-74, an H&K PSG-1 rifle, a big Magnum handgun, an M3 shotgun, and Ithaca M37 shotgun… and don’t forget the hand grenade.
She also comes loaded with lots of accessories including ammo packs for her handguns and machine guns, a headset, radio, five interchangeable hands with gloves, and a stand with the Biohazard 5 logo (Resident Evil is called Biohazard over in Japan).
Now someone has to make her in her alternate bikini costume.
Watch for Sheva later this year.

Yamato has a new sexy girl figure coming out… Iroha from the video game Samurai Showdown. It’s the next in line in Yamato’s Story! Image! Figure! EX collection. The figure is 1/6 scale and sculpted by Diskvision, the sculptor of the awesome “Eve” figure coming out soon. The figure comes with a display stand that looks like a wooden floor and weapons. Not sure if Iroha’s costume is cast-off, but it looks like it might be from the pictures. We were not totally sure if Yamato’s Arisa was cast-off and look at how great that turned out for those of us who picked one up. Iroha is up for preorder now and is expected to arrive in August or September from Yamato USA.

Finally… more Shunya Yamashita figures. Yamato is releasing two new figures based on artwork by Shunya Yamashita, designer of the upcoming bishojo Marvel figures.
The first one is Emaretta-Chan. She comes with a cape, sword, and skull base. The cape comes off and it looks like the top may also “be cast-off”. The sculpt stays really true to the original illustration. The sculpt was done by Sunny Day, who also guitar girl, Arisa … great stuff. Expect this to arrive around September for around $80.
The second figure is Roxanne. She comes with a sword and base. The sculpt is also true to the original artwork and that top looks so so shiny. The sculpt on this one was done by REFLECT, who also brought us Non-Non. Expect Roxanne to arrive a little bit later in October for around $90.

He also comes well equiped:

Next up is the 1/6 scale Terminator T-600 Endoskeleton.
This is one mean guy with a huge gattling similar to what Arnold sported in Terminator 2.
The figure has 25 points of articulation and comes with cool light up eyes. The figure comes with an ammo back pack for his gattling gun and a base.
Last is another Endoskeleton, the T-700, the regular Terminator we are used to seeing.
It also comes with 25 points of articulation plus articulated fingers and toes…wow! This thing also has light up eyes and a base. Unfortunately… there is no mention of a gun. That kind of sucks… A terminator with no gun?

The ultimate in Star Wars Pop Culture Geekdom…An At-At boombox! This thing looks crazy black and the retro boombox is a perfect fit for the 1983 At-At. It’s a pretty cool idea and not that hard to do if you have a spare At-At to sacrifice. These pics of this At-At toy mod are from the website www.zen7790.uk.co. Check out the rest of the pics. I’ve seen purses and backbacks that look like boomboxes… what’s next?
From ReelArt Studios comes statues right off of classic Frank Frazetta paintings. They look pretty close to the paintings. Check them out. Must haves for any Frazetta and Edgar Rice Burroughs fan.
Moon Maid
First up is Moon Maid. It looks great. The translation of the girl from painting to statue is pretty spot. You can spot it as a Frazetta piece a mile away! The statue stands 10″ high and made of polyresin. It’s limited to 2,000 pieces. You can buy her here.
Egyptian Queen
Next we have the Egyptian Queen. This statue really looks like the painting. It’s hard to tell which picture is of the statue and which is of the painting. Just shine a little light on the statue to truly make it just like the painting. The statue is made of polystone. It measures roughly 12″ x 12″ x 12″. It’s also limited to 2,000 pieces. You can buy her here!
Sun Goddess
Last is the Sun Goddess… the newest of the three. She stands, knife in hand, atop a mountain… as a big Frazetta cat watches over her. It stands 13″ tall and 9″ wide. This statue is also polyresin and limited to 2000 pieces. You can buy her here!
