hot toys appleseed EX MACHINA deunan knute 1/6 figure

gonna come home to play my spider-man 3 PS3 game after work. but this advert in the PS3 magazine got me thinking again.

i asked rick how is appleseed the anime .... he said it's ok but ghost in the shell is better. i've never dig anime or manga or animated stuff .... but months back when falcons hangar has the "coming soon" news for this figure it caught my attention. i've told chris, another colleague of mine that collects 12inch figure that the appleseed pair looks awesome. but with no knowledge of the appleseed story itself, it didnt justify a purchase.

i called a few shops, falcon's, action city, most of them has sold out of the female deunan figure. plus some wrong number calls, i smsed trustworthy shaun for any leads. he directed me to a shop at CSC (china square central). took a CTE route after TPE to CSC to try my luck.

and shaun's lead was accurate. i scored this figure at $215. gonna skip that rabbit head (rick calls it) one-eye man biareos for now .... will get the CG blu-ray from playasia, apparently it's gonna release 2mrw ....

box has a foiled slip case .... this is the front

the back

a blister product .... and the movie is produced by john woo, strangely

inner box frontage

back of the box

the inside with gatefold

awesome figure .... gotta fix it .... more picutures later

breakdown of her parts

here's a link to mwctoys's review .....

and a link for the takara version

..... after 30mins

deunan with most parts fixed up. her boots are a little tough to fit on as there isnt much grip and u wont really wanna hold the rubber suit too tight. yes her suit is in full rubber .... not as soft as old snake's from medicom or tough as spidy3 for medicom .... her holster fits real snug over her athlete thighs. her sub machine gun and pistol are both "cockable". i've fitted her eye patch but her watch is not worn.

with big anime eyes, it'll be tough for takara's deunan follow-up to match this awesome sculpt.

date with old snake .... old snake sucks so much as compared .... mdeicom are really losing it .... hot toys FTW

is this gonna be the figure of the year, it's only march 08 ....

oops, this should be the way to wear her eye patch

Well done Simon! Glad you had a fruitful trip. Blog so fast some more. :)

sket said...

i love this figure .... thx for the lead ....

Mizu said...

Woot, congrats! It's an awesome-looking figure. I agree with that sentiment, from their latest offerings - HT rules and Medicom drools. :P

I'm curious about a Takara to HT comparison for Deunan Knute!

sket said...

u might go for takara for the hair thingy .... maybe make a judgement after when takara is released. diff collectors have diff views of both atm ....

Anonymous said...

whoa! u really went to buy it!

Love deunan knute in appleseed, as well as the graphics style, robots and fights in the movie.

GITS (ghost in the shell) is not as pretty in the graphics (except GITS 2: Innocence), but it has got a good story and is what inspire "The Matrix". There's also a GITS anime series "Stand Alone Complex" which is interesting and confusing at the same time, which features the popular "Laughing Man". Google it to find out more. Red pill (Anime)?

Anonymous said...

btw, "ex machina" is a sequel to appleseed, u might wanna watch the first movie b4 catching this. The trailer for ex machina is looking good...

sket said...

yes i had bought appleseed on dvd already. have ordered ex machina on blu-ray thru playasia but of late their stocks seems haywire, waiting for them to restock.

appleseed borrows plenty of concept from starwars prequels and matrix, but it's acceptable, it's tough to come out with a unique original storyline, its just who does better. appleseed supposedly is the birth of 3DCG but i dont see much.

Mizu said...

I guess it's okay if Appleseed supposedly borrows from Western sci-fi. Matrix took initial inspiration from Masamune Shirow's GITS. :)

I've watched the first Appleseed years ago and while the story didn't make a deep impact, it sure delivers on the action sequences. Ditto with Ex Machina which we saw in TFH's showroom. It looks better now that it's non-cel-shaded IMHO.

In the awesome design of things you'll

secure an A+ for effort. Where exactly you actually lost me ended up being on the specifics. As as

the maxim goes, the devil is in the details... And that could not be

more correct at this point. Having said that, allow me say to you what

did do the job. The article (parts of it)

is actually pretty

powerful and this is most likely the reason why

I am making the effort in order to comment. I do not really make it a regular habit of

doing that. Next, even though I can

certainly see the jumps in logic you come up with, I am not convinced of exactly how you appear to

connect the points which inturn help to make

your conclusion. For right now I shall

yield to your issue but wish in the future you connect your dots much better.
