It's only mid-March but I already have some haul: Reborn body, ED-209, Hit Girl, CIA, HK416 etc

Here's a quick look at my early March haul :) It includes a NECA 10-inch ED-209 robot action figure from the RoboCop movie, Original Effect 1/6 scale OE Reborn body (female standard), Play Toy 1/6 scale Purple Girl, Very Hot CIA (Central Intelligence Agency) outfit and accessories set, E&S (Easy & Simple) Assault Rifle 416 Special Forces set E (Frostbite) and Belet 003 1/6 scale head sculpt that bears a very strong resemblance to Morgan Freeman.

Most of the stuff are 1/6 scale (my cup of tea) except for the NECA 10-inch tall Enforcement Droid ED-209 from the RoboCop movie which is obviously not 1/6 scale but I always did have a thing for RoboCop, more so the classic and original version rather than the newer reboot version. You can check out my earlier post HERE of some of my RoboCop and RoboCop movie-releated figures on display. Guess I'm an old school kind of guy ;p Scroll down to see more of the pictures. 

NECA 10-inch ED-209 Figure With Sound from the 1987 "Robocop" movie. When the Enforcement Droid ED-209 kills a board member during a demonstration, the OCP chairman, "The Old Man" decides to go with the experimental cyborg design titled "RoboCop". And that was the reason RoboCop was created. So it stands to reason that ED-209 played a big part in RoboCop's birth. Plus it's a pretty cool robot and a classic, still loved to this day. Why else would NECA release the robot figure in 2014, 27 years after the movie's release?

OE (Original Effect) 1/6th scale Reborn body (female standard) is about 13 inches tall and comes with eight pieces (four pairs) of interchangeable hands. Many people ask, "Why buy this figure when she's obviously taller and towers over all 12-inch figures?" Guess you'll have to stay tuned to find out ;p 

Play Toy Purple Girl Sixth Scale Figure is none other than Chloë Grace Moretz as Mindy Macready / Hit Girl from Kick Ass 2 . Being much cheaper than the Medicom Toys version (pictures HERE) at more than half the price, I just had to take a chance and see how she looks. You can check out the preview pictures HERE

I have plans for this Very Hot CIA (Central Intelligence Agency) outfit and accessories set which looks GREAT for some kitbashing I have in mind. I certainly don't need another 1/6 scale CIA figure since I have quite a few 12-inch spooks in my collection already. Check out my posts HERE and HERE

This E&S (Easy & Simple) Assault Rifle 416 Special Forces set E (Frostbite) is intended for someone special ;p I realized after assembling him that he's missing a weapon. So I decided to get him one and this looks right up his alley. Who am I talking about? You can check him out HERE and be sure to check back later for an updated look.

Last but not least, Belet 003 1/6 scale head sculpt with Morgan Freeman likeness. How can I not have a 12-inch figure of a guy who has been GOD in "Bruce Almighty", Sergeant Major John Rawlins in the American Civil War film "Glory", United States President in "Deep Impact" (back then, there was no black president so people could know that the movie wasn't real), Speaker Allan Trumbull in "Olympus has Fallen", South African President in "Invictus", Joe in "RED", Lucius Fox in Christopher Nolan's Batman: The Dark Knight trilogy, Malcolm Beech in "Oblivion", Detective Lt. William Somerset in "Se7en", Vitruvius (voice) in "The Lego Movie" and so many more. Excited to have him.

So these are all for now. Watch this space for updates and reviews :)

Dam Toys Elite Series 1/6 scale USMC Reconnaissance Battalion M27 Rifleman figure

The Marine Corps Combat Utility Uniform (MCCUU) is the current battledress uniform of the United States Marine Corps. It is also worn by Navy personnel (mostly corpsmen and chaplains) assigned to Marine Corps units (Fleet Marine Force). The MCCUU, and its distinctive camouflage pattern, MARPAT (short for MARine PATtern), are exclusive to the Marine Corps, which holds the patents to their design. MARPAT is available in two color schemes, woodland and desert. Flame Resistant Organizational Gear (FROG) is clothing used by the United States Marine Corps to reduce the number of injuries resulting from fire and flash (especially burns), due to the increased use of improvised explosive devices in the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. The FROG system consists of a long-sleeve shirt, t-shirt, combat shirt, combat trousers, gloves, and a balaclava. The shirts and trousers are camouflaged in MARPAT, while the remainder are colored in either sand or olive drab.

This is the upcoming Dam Toys Elite Series No.78014 1/6 scale USMC Reconnaissance Battalion M27 Rifleman 12-inch figure wearing the latest gear and FROG suit (desert MARPAT), FROG pants (desert MARPAT), USMC rat boots (CB), M27 IAR, TA11SDO-CP ACOG 3.5x35 scope, backup sight, AN/PEQ-16 laser, tango grip, BRMS bipods, sling adapter and rifle sling.

Dam Toys has certainly improved by leaps and bounds and have been releasing a slew of military figures, all of them with tons of gear and with great detailing. Always nice to have a basic grunt / trooper because they do form the bulk of the world's armies / marines. There should always be a balance between the grunt and the special operations guy even though it seems like the special ops guys get a lot of the attention. Scroll down to see all the pictures.

Incoming: DAM toys 1/6 scale Spetsnaz FSB Alpha Group 12-inch Special Operations figure

Spetsnaz is an umbrella term for special forces in Russian; its literal meaning is "special purpose forces". Historically, the term referred to special military units controlled by the military intelligence service GRU (Spetsnaz GRU). It also describes special purpose units, or task forces, of other ministries (such as the Ministry of Emergency Situations' special rescue unit) in post-Soviet countries. (source: wiki)

The Center of Special Operations of the FSB (CSN FSB, центр специального назначения ФСБ) is officially tasked with combating terrorism and protecting the constitutional order of the Russian Federation. The CSN FSB consists of three operative divisions: Department A (Spetsgruppa Alfa), Department V (Spetsgruppa Vympel) and the Special Purpose Service.

Alpha Group is a counter-terrorist unit created in 1974. It is a professional unit, consisting of about 700 operators and support personnel in five operational detachments. Most are stationed in Moscow, with the remainder in three other cities: Krasnodar, Yekaterinburg and Khabarovsk. All Alpha operators undergo airborne, mountain and counter-sabotage dive training.
