Here is Enterbay’s headsculpt of Donnie Yen from the movie, Ip Man. I’ve said before and I’ll say it again, although Enterbay is no where near the size of Hot Toys in the collectors figure market, Enterbay has always had the upperhand in terms of quality (I believe having a limited amount of licenses allows them to make better products).

I’m pretty sure this is a must-buy for me (it’ll be my first Enterbay figure). I’m a Donnie Yen fan and I want this headsculpt. Can’t wait to see it painted.

Me gotz the Hot Toys Blade 2 limited edition collectible figurine…

Unfortunately, following on from this entry and this entry, I have to continue the rant about the defects on the Hot Toys Batman DX figure for a couple of reasons:

1. Everyone who purchased this Batman DX figure (batch 2 onwards) has the oil issue
2. It took Hot Toys two weeks to reply me
3. I first wrote to Hot Toys Japan but they totally ignored me. It then took another 2 emails to Hot Toys Hong Kong and posting on their Facebook page before they bothered to reply me
4. The answer Hot Toys gave me regarding the oil issue is the exact same generic bullsh*t reply they sent to everyone else who has contacted them with the oil problem
5. Hot Toys obviously is not interested in solving the problem
6. Hot Toys thinks the collectors are dumb (which we probably are considering we pay $200 for a figure every time)
7. Main purpose of this entry: my site is pretty well SEO’ed therefore it will help spread the word

This figure is without doubt the ULTIMATE DARK KNIGHT BATMAN FIGURE ever made, period. It is just a shame that it is dogged by quality issues. Since everyone else around the world has an issue or two, I guess I’ll just have to live with it.

Well, I’ve already mentioned about the defects of my Batman DX in another entry but I feel it deserves an entire entry of it’s own. It’s not so much about the bitching of the defects, it’s more about Hot Toys‘ attitude towards the problem. And to put it bluntly, Hot Toys has been rather savagely irresponsible. Then again, I’m not surprised, it’s a Hong Kong company, afterall.

Just a bit of background:
During the last week of December 2009, the MMS DX Batman was released in Hong Kong. Within days, collectors started to experience problems with the figure. Problems include: paint peeling, warped heads, etc. For most of the early adopters, they were lucky enough to get replacements. BUT, the problem continued to exist even on the replacements. After people started to continue to return the figures (one guy returned 6 times, apparantly), HT obviously got a bit annoyed and started to tell people not to touch the soft rubber parts (quotes at the end of this entry). I mean, WTF? They might as well tell people not to buy the thing.

Both my DX Batmans arrived this morning but I haven’t really had the time to mess with them. Anyway, just some quick iPhone snaps…

Nope, it’s not true. Hot Toys didn’t say they’re making one. It’s just my wish! If Hot Toys released a Daniel Craig/James Bond from Quantum of Solace with the exact same suit, gun and facial expression as in the pic, I’d snap up one or two in a heart beat!!

The second Medicom vinyl figure in the Ninja Hattori-kun series was recently released and it happens to be non other than Shishimaru the ninja dog! Awesome!

… from the 3 deliveries I missed at the beginning of the week.

→ Keep reading…

Missed deliveries is a common occurrence here in Japan since most people work long hours. But what really bummed me out this time is, why did all 3 things have to come on the same day?! They’re not from the same source – all 3 things are coming from different countries and were shipped on different days. And they all happen to be Hot Toys figure related! Argh!

Have re-scheduled to have it all delivered on Saturday morning. You’ll find out what they are in due time…
