And while 1/6-Hobby Week on TOYSREVIL has come to it's last post with this wrap-up, this will not be the last you see of this blog-theme on this humble blog! There is just way too many happenings to be covered, and neither am I contented with just glossing over the details. More Top Tens, more "Two Sides Of The Apocalypse" - all of which I am writing and preparing right now, in fact! (Am enjoying

Living The 1/6-World: Collecting Streetwear

[Above shown is the latest ensemble I was able to buy from a localflea market, and put together for a quick snap. The figure-headsculptis a bootleg of a Paul Leung figure gotten from Hong Kong years back!]Purchasing "casual fashions" these days for 1/6th-scaled figures, is not that hard an activity. And by "casual", I mean basic streetwear, non-military clothes, for the everyday joe clad in swish

Toy-Review: Smirking Python in 1/6 by POP Prolific

Back in 2010, TOYSREVIL collaborated with Justin Volpe of POP Prolific to release an exclusive TOYSREVIL-Edition SMIRKING PYTHON articulated action figure in 1/6th-scale (I love my 1/6, remember?). Limited to only 20 pieces worldwide, with pre-orders closing on October 22nd (ironically, 4 days after me being in Stroke on the 18th, and did not have a chance to further promote the figure-release),

Lady Zhiva Void Girl by BHEAD

We've blogged very briefly about Korean-csutomizer BHEAD's Lady Zhiva Void Girl previously, because frankly, there is a whole lot more than just mind-numbing pictures to look at (of which there too is more posted here!) as BHEAD is very diligent in posting WIPs! Note that these images are based around a figure in 1/6th-scale, and they are utterly amazing, as you can plainly see!*Die-hard fans

The Many 1/6 Motorbike-Mods of Methamphibian

We've previously posted about Methamphibian's post 1/6-character kitbashes HERE - now this is a post specifically focused on showcasing his motorbike-mods - which I feel are extremely satisfying and invigorating to view, IMHO! One of the key figures is his DEMONFREAK character, which vibes an absolutely awesome-cool Sandman-persona (the Neil Gaiman-written comicbook), as well his own-school

Two-Sides Of Apocalypse: 1/6-works from Methamphibian vs BHEAD

When the world comes to an end, and survives thereafter, the age of apocalypse is ripe for reinvention and two names in the 1/6th-realms come immediately into mind: Metamphibian from the US, and BHEAD from Korea. ~ TOYSREVIL takes a blog-ride down the destructed highway and presents a visual-trip of past works from both artists, for your 1/6-loving pleasures ..."Methamphibian" is famous for

1/6 Kitbash of Da'Bear / Kurita by Fadlin Ichwan (Pics by David Tan)

We first saw a quick-glimpse of this kitbash/custom 1/5-figure at the recent Jakarta Toys & Comics Fair, and David Tan of Filmoo was the dude who scored the figure, and shares with us snaps! Featuring a TOUMA-designed Knucklebear headsculpt cut to be utilized as a helmet on a 1/6th-scaled action figure, complete with awesome weapons and blades, and looking like he walked straight out of a

Q&A with & Toy-Photography of Alice Adrenochrome

What can I really need to say about the toy-photography of Alice Adrenochrome beyond what you can enjoy with your own eyes? Besides the 16th-scaled images I have posted here (seeing that it is 1/6-Hobby Week and all) you can also see the abundance of snaps on this< dedicated Facebook age. Meanwhile, here's a lil Q&A with the photographer and collector, for both your reading and viewing pleasures

I Think I Like GasMasks A Little Bit Too Much….

One indisputable iconic-image of "apocalypse", is the GASMASK. Somehow everyone assumes (rightly so tho) that the end of the world will come along with a nuclear fallout that swallows the Earth, and spits out the next evolution of mankind, post-apocalypse. While I might not disagree with that notion, the usage of "gas-masks" on my 1/6-scaled figure kitbashed, is a constant work-in-progress and

TOYSREVIL'S Top Ten Anime/Manga Toys in 1/6

1/6 Plastic-Crack-Addicts Feature: Nick Talbot & His WW2 Germany Soldiers Collection

We used to call folks addicted to the 1/6th-hobby as likened to addicted to "Plastic Crack" ("Crack" being a drug, with "Plastic" being the material make of our beloved man-dollies - which we never claim to be "dolls"). I have since found a group of select "Plastic Crack Addicts", and would like to present their collections to all to share.Today's PCA-member is Nick Talbot! Hailing currently from

Living The 1/6-World: Headsculpts (New works from HeadPlay)

What is it about the 1/6-hobby that entrails us? The miniature clothing? The fantastic micro-weapons? The ability to hold a plastic-man's "toy-life" in the palm of your hands? Regardless the reasons and motivation, one thing seems extremely important in this age (beyond the hobbyists and perhaps grabbing at non-traditional hobbyists, and dragging lulling them into the hobby while you're at it),

Toy-Review: 12" Hommie - Heineken x erickot (Released 2003)

TOY-STORY: Beer brand Heineken x Hong Kong performing artist Eric Kot collaborated for a promotional figure in 2001 - dubbed the 12" HOMMIE from HEINEKEN x ERIKOT, whereby a all-black skinned figure adorned a dark-grey sweater and a pair of denim jeans bearing the signature pattern of that time, on it's pocket. I had somewhat seen the ad on a magazine (most probably MiLK or East Touch) and had

Living The 1/6-World: Adventures of Team-Building in the 1/6th-Scale Hobby (1/6-Hobby Week Begins)

[Duo "Tomorrow Kings from 3A Toys. There more of them, oh so much more…]DELUSION IS A WONDEROUS THING: Thinking back to my heydays of yore as an "active" 12-inch figure collector, I must have been really deluded. I had "claimed" not to collect "military", when I have in fact a miniature ammo-bunker filled with military uniforms and weapons (of course I exaggerate but you'll be surprised). I had
