ACGHK 2011 Part 1


Hot Toys has been a big talk for this year's ACGHK event.

This first part of the coverage focuses mainly on non-anime stuff. Hot Toys has been something of a big talk for this year's ACGHK, and not surprisingly I have taken quite a few pictures of them too.

Without further delay, let's roll out the first part of the coverage!





Lots of customised Iron Man figures from various prominent hobbyists and modellers.


Custom Iron Man by Max Watanabe of Max Factory


Rows of display


Iron Man with Cradle








Davy Jones


Captain Jack Sparrow


Chair of Jack Sparrow as the Cannibal King


Tron's Sam Flynn with Light Cycle


Captain America


Thor


Sweeny Todd


Batman and Joker. Really cool diorama I'd say.


More Iron Man


Iron Monger with Obadiah inside (you can just see part of his face in the photo)


Michael Jackson x Resident Evil / Biohazard crossover.


Alien


Luke Skywalker


Indiana Jones


Jake Sulley from Avatar




Original character/mecha designs as part of the annual competition whose notable entries will be displayed in the event



This Moon Saver Luna looks pretty cool. An action figure (possibly a figma mod) along with design drawings and character lore are all available.







XBOX Kinect being played on stage

More Kinects are available for visitors to try out



Enterbay's Onimusha and Bruce Lee figures on display.


That would be the end of part 1 of ACGHK 2011 coverage. Anime-related part of the coverage will be next!

  1. These are all pretty amazing. Bruce Lee looks absolutely realistic!

  2. Probably the best thing for microsoft to have Kinect booths at events like this. I think most HK flats would struggle to provide the required space for the damn thing!!! And the Star wars 360 is hideously expensive in the UK. How much will it go for in HK?

    Loved the Ninja/iron man mod tho! Metal Gear Solid, WOOO!!

  3. Those statues look so life-like, especially the faces. I'm amazed that they can get the facial features and textures down so precisely.

  4. @ korewagundam:
    The Bruce Lee from Enterbay does look very good. Hot Toys also had one on display but I haven't managed to take a good picture of it.

    @ gundamjehutykai:
    You have the point that the a great deal of homes won't be able to have enough space for one to play with Kinect, so the fact that Microsoft has space for people to try it is a big plus there.

    I haven't noticed the price for the Star Wars 360. Just looked up and I've found out that the Kinect set will be sold for 499USD o_o I'd assume that the game and the set in Hong Kong will be near the same as US price (perhaps 10% more expensive at most).

    @ Nopy:
    Hot Toys and Enterbay figures really have good face sculpts, and it's those that made them very well known among some live action figure collectors!
