Sept 2015 Haul: Hot Toys "Avengers: Age of Ultron" Hawkeye, Play Arts Kai Arkham Knight & Lego Star Wars General Grevious

continued from previous post...

Besides my haul from STGCC 2015, I also picked up these three box sets recently as part of my September haul. They include Hot Toys MMS289 "Avengers: Age of Ultron" 1/6th scale Hawkeye Collectible Figure (see the preview pictures HERE), Square Enix Play Arts Kai "Batman: Arkham Knight" 1/7th scale Arkham Knight action figure and Lego 75112 General Grievous (part of the Star Wars Ultrabuild set / buildable figures by Lego).


I am quite excited about the "Avengers: Age of Ultron" 1/6th scale Hawkeye (Jeremy Renner as Clint Barton / Hawkeye) as he will be joining both Hot Toys Avengers: Age of Ultron 1/6th scale Scarlett Johansson as Black Widow 12-inch Figure (action figure review posted on my toy blog earlier HERE and HERE) and Hot Toys "Avengers: Age of Ultron" 1/6th scale Chris Evans as Steve Rogers / Captain America 12-inch Collectible Figure (pics and review posted HERE, HERE and HERE). Like Black Widow, Clint Barton / Hawkeye is just a regular human being without any special powers and yet they both can hold their own when it comes to a battle with Ultron. 

I'm also equally stoked with Square Enix Play Arts Kai 1/7th scale Arkham Knight action figure. Never have I been more excited about a new super villain. I guess that's because he's an antithetical version of Batman.

Text taken from LEGO.com: Lead the Separatist Droid Army with super-tough General Grievous™ as you’ve never seen him before! This amazing buildable LEGO® version of the feared Supreme Commander features fully posable limbs, 2-into-4 separating arms and 4 buildable Lightsabers. This ultra-fast General is ready for intense battle!


Features posable limbs, 2-into-4 separating arms and 4 buildable Lightsabers Separate the arms and battle with 4 Lightsabers! Lead the Droid Army against the Jedi! Sturdy and durable design for intense action play. Unlike the rest of the Lego Star Wars buildable figures which look odd as a finished product due to the small waist and absence of the hip completely, General Grievous actually looks good and realistic because he is a cyborg with a droid body. Furthermore, at a height of 32cm, he certainly would look ideal standing next to 12-inch (30cm) Star Wars figures.


So many toys, so little time but I think that's a good problem haha. Reviews to follow soon...

I got both the Lego Darth Vader (75511) and General Grievous (75512) Buildable figures and they are both awesome, and very fun to build.
I´m thinking about buying the rest of the line, but, for now, due to monetary reasons, I´ll stick with these two, which were my must-haves when I first saw this line on the shelves, anyway.
