Well remember how I posted that first image from the new Tetsuwan Atom (Astro Boy) movie from Imagi Studios? Well Imagi and Hot Toys have come together to manufacture some goods based off that movie and the also in production Gatchaman movie.

I've been ignoring some of Hot Toys stuff in the past mainly because the past yeas has been a nothing but a wank fest for 80's nostalgia. While I do like the 80's (hell I'm 31 and that era had a huge impact on me but I'm also fully aware that time has moved on) I'd rather see them challenge themselves with other things that don't look like Alien or Predators or Terminator.

The Biohazzard figures look great (that's Resident Evil to the import impaired) and now the Appleseed stuff -awesome and now they're doing this. About damn time. Looks like we might get some more HT stuff on this blog after all.
