Review 1: MC Toys 1/6 The End Walker 12" figure - Denzel Washington in "The Book of Eli"

This is the recently released MC Toys F-034 1/6 scale The End Walker 12-inch figure which is inspired by / based on the character Denzel Washington played in the 2010 American post-apocalyptic action film "The Book of Eli". This was part of my first haul of 2014.

"The Book of Eli" was directed by the Hughes brothers, written by Gary Whitta, and starred Denzel Washington, Gary Oldman, Mila Kunis, Ray Stevenson and Jennifer Beals. The story revolves around Eli, a nomad in a post-apocalyptic world, who is told by a voice to deliver his copy of a mysterious book to a safe location on the West Coast of the United States. The history of the post-war world is explained along the way, as is the importance of Eli's task. (source: wiki)


Thirty years after a nuclear apocalypse, Eli (Denzel Washington) travels on foot toward the west coast of the United States. Along the way, he demonstrates uncanny survival and fighting skills, hunting wildlife and swiftly defeating a group of highway bandits who try to ambush him. Eli has a book of great importance that Carnegie (Gary Oldman) desires and wants, believing that it will give him the power to build and control more towns.

The End Walker comes with an instruction on how to make recommended cuts on the coat for the strap of the Machete sheath to slip through and fastened. I won't be doing that. Also has instructions on the removal of the head sculpt and leather boots.

Now with Khaki long sleeve T-shirt worn. It matches the color of his pants

The 1/6 scale green coat worn by MC Toys The End Walker reminds me of the olive green M51 Field Jacket worn by the American soldiers during the Vietnam War. It also had waist and hem draw cords.

The short barreled Remington 870 "Witness Protection" shotgun is stored in his haversack / backpack (it's actually a Oakley Panel Pack backpack) when not in use.


Three extra hands and an extra neck post
