Re: I open a toy & post it here
Three lights, top and side, but due to my set-up they illuminate the rear portion of the box. I agree 100% though. I need to find a way to move them forward.
Thanks for the suggestion!

Bandai- Big Hero 6; (Armoured 1.0) Baymax.
I can't really say much more about Baymax and Big Hero Six then I already did in review 009: still love the movie and still love the character. The cool thing about this figure is that is the exclusivity of it. I had no idea of its existence until I saw it on shelf in mass at the NYC Time Square Toys R Us location. This type of find is awesome for two, but equally important reasons near and dear to my heart as a toy collector: Happening upon a new toy that you didn't know existed and finding said toy on vacation: Truly the jackpot of toy hunts.
So truthfully the toy is a bit of let down. Sure he looks the part, but he suffers from a few issues. That said, the fact that they produced this version is good enough for me.
Pros: It's Baymax in his first armour... what else is there to say?
Cons: Limited articulation, flimsy leg joints, weak posing.

Re: I open a toy & post it here
So I was playing around with the lighting and found a decent solution to the shadow face issue.
Little brighter. I may need to invest into a better light though. This is a halogen and will surely burn through any sheet I put over.

Hasbro: Marvel Infinite Series- Death's Head
Not being much of a Marvel guy I was unaware Death's Head connection to the Transformer series, but given the loose connection I thought I would pick him up on impulse. My first run in with the character was from a Marvel UK comic called Black Axe #1. Back in the day I used to collection comics and would gravitate to #1's of any given series. I don't recall much of the book and missed that it was apparently the second version of Death's Head, so I guess he didn't leave much of an impression. Regardless, I can see how a Cybernetic Bounty Hunter would fit in with the comic universe Transformer series.
The figure itself is pretty nice. I really like the detail in the head sculpt and has a decent amount of articulation that is typical of these 3 3/4" figures. He also sports 2 moulded clothing items. There is a cape/shoulder set that, while looks decent, is pretty disappointing as it doesn't clip in to anywhere There is even moulded sections on the breast plate, but but nothing to tab in so it just kinda sits there. The hip skirt works, but acts more to limit the articulation. Not sure what the designers where thinking, but I see it more and more with figures of this size. Why have hip joints and cool moulded accessories if they just cancel each other out? *le sigh*
He comes with 2 hand to hand combat weapons, a Mace and an Axe, as well as a little forearm shield. Apparently the shield can be used to store the weapons on his back, but I can get it to fit properly. It doesn't matter as he looks better holder them anyways.
Pros: Nice face sculpt, good articulation, obscure character and cool accessories that can all be held at the same time.
Cons: Moulded cape hinders said cool articulation and cape accessory is not secure to the body.
I don't have much context for this picture, but given Marvel is now owned by Disney maybe Deaths Head had to change from hunting Transformers?
