Marvel Select Juggernaut Production Pics

Wow. If the Marvel Select Juggernaut isn’t an argument for what digital sculpting can achieve in the hands of skilled sculptors, I don’t know what is.

I know that Gentle Giant has done work the Marvel Select line before – the best example from recent history is the Marvel Select Modern Thor, my pick for best figure of 2008 – but they’ve really gone above and beyond here. Just check out that detail!

Nothing Can Stop Him

Hold on.  Why do they always say that about the Juggernaut?  I mean, am I wrong or do they not find a way to stop him EVERY TIME?  Seems to me he gets stopped on a regular basis.  Oh well, who cares as long as he romps and stomps right up until the stoppage?  Whether he’s on the side of evil or good, everyone loves to see Cain Marko destroy anything in his path.  Our good friends at Gentle Giant have been itching to see Juggy added to the Marvel Select line, especially if they got to do the sculpting, so here you go.  Colors are brought to you by Eddie Wires…

Hot Toys Blade Trinity Abigail Whistler Feature – Milk Magazine

Hot Toys posted a 5-page feature from Hong Kong’s Milk Magazine on its Facebook page. It includes lots of images of the upcoming MMS Abigail Whistler from Blade Trinity that they just announced a few days ago. I’m liking the Jessica Biel likeness even more. Do you think this means we’ll eventually see a Hannibal King / Ryan Reynolds figure from Hot Toys?

Hasbro Marvel Universe Colossus, Juggernaut and A.I.M. Soldier

A couple of weeks ago, HasbroToyShop.com started selling their Marvel Universe Wave 8 figures online, it was a quick sellout, and I missed it. I was really looking forward to this wave, as some of the figures included in this wave have some nice, unique sculpts and upgraded articulation. So as soon as they re-listed the figures on the site, I didn’t hesitate to pick these guys up. I managed to pick up Juggernaut, the A.I.M. Soldier, and Colossus, which are the figures I was most excited about (the other figures of this wave are Archangel, Havok and Shadowcat). So what was all my excitement about? Let’s find out!

With this release, Hot Toys shows thanks to Jessica Biel for saving Blade Trinity from being a completely forgettable movie and a stake through the heart of the Blade franchise. I think the likeness is pretty serviceable – working better from a 3/4 view than straight on. This will make a great companion to the Blade II MMS figure.
