Action Figures

Now who wouldn't want to own this little cuteness!!! It stands approx 3 inches tall and for something so small it does have quite a lot of detail (well apart from the bendy knife). It is official Capcom merchandise and comes packaged in an attractive little box. He will set you back approx £3.00. Oh and did I mention that he is the perfect size for carrying around in your handbag!

This is from the second series released by Neca and I have to say that the detail gone into this is exquisite. He stands approximately 7.5" tall, his mutant arm is movable which means you can go around poking people with it. He has a removable knife in the sheath he wears at the back of his pants and his feet move so you can actually make him stand with no problem. Infact my only complaint is about the 3 little claw attachments you get for his arm - they were fiddly little buggars and took me ages to fit them into the holes. Anyway the packaging is awesome and like I said, the detail is gorgeous and I'm LOVING the nipples! Krauser will set you back around £10.99 and trust me, he's worth every penny! I bought 10!!!

This figure is a complete mystery to me :( A friend and I have been trying to find the company who makes these (they also do other RE figures) for a year now with absolutely NO luck whatsoever!! Isn't it the most adorable thing you have ever seen? So you know that when I say I WANT ONE, you know I really do want one. So please, if you know where I can get this bundle of plastic cuteness from please let me know and I promise to reward you for your efforts ;)

Now if you thought the Neca action figure was impressive then you are going to pee your pants over this one (as I did). It is released by Hot Toys but expect to pay a pretty penny for it. I spent £75 on mine but then that included expedited shipping because I wasn't waiting a second longer than necessary to get mine!! First of all the packaging is actually quite lovely (Japan the boxes are black, US/UK the boxes are white) and you can actually show your figure off without having to remove it from the packaging which is a definite plus to all the collectors ;) The actual doll is action man size and the atention to detail will simply blow you away, this truly IS a miniature Krauser even down to the veins on his arms!! RAWR!! The clothing is removable - trust me, that was the first thing I discovered!! He's not wearing any underpants either and his buttocks have defined muscles (see what I was saying about attention to detail). I absolutely LOVE the military harness he wears - it is EXACTLY spot on and the accessories that come with mini Jack are just totally made of win!! Included is his bow and arrows, TMP, grenades, little toy robot and of course his knife. Now if I did want to complain just for the hell of it, then I would mention two things. Firstly, his scar isn't quite correct (and lets face it, I've stared long enough at that man's face to truly know what I am talking about) but I can forgive them for that. However, one thing I can NOT forgive is the fact that they didn't bother to put the snake emblem on Krauser's knife!!! What is up with that? To me that was a pretty big mistake but it doesn't stop me from absolutely LOVING this figure.

This is the mutated version of Krauser by Hot Toys. Same packaging and same price as before. He comes with the same accessories too apart from instead of a bow you get extra attachments for his arm. The detail is awesome (check out that 6-pack) and although I prefer the original version figure, this is still a great one to own and I definitely recommend it if you have the spare cash.
