Three Dimensions (Part Two): Captain America

With Comic-Con just concluding and Captain America: The First Avenger in theaters, it made sense to dedicate the second part of the Three Dimensions series to the hero.  The Three Dimensions series of posts feature statues, action figures, and dioramas.

First up is a really awesome Premium Format Figure of Bucky Barnes as Captain America from Sideshow Collectibles:

Next is a 12-inch figure from Hot Toys...this time it's of Cap from Captain America: The First Avenger:

Not to be outdone, Sideshow also takes on Captain America: The First Avenger with another Premium Format Figure:

Lastly, here is a Polystone Diorama featuring Captain America taking on Red Skull. This was done by Sideshow but it is no longer available:

Three Dimensions (Part One)

Hi, my name is Lagosta and welcome back to Hot Fictional Guys.

Today's post is the first in a new series featuring fictional guys you could actually touch.  What I'm referring to are dioramas, action figures, and statues.

This first installment focuses on two awesome statues by Quarantine Studio.

The first is Conan The Barbarian, which comes in standard/deluxe and faux bronze:

 

 

 

 The second is Frank Frazetta's Death Dealer, which comes in standard/deluxe and real bronze:

 

 

 

 If you want to purchase these statues, check out Sideshow Collectibles or Quarantine Studio's website.

Enslaved: Odyssey To The West

Enslaved: Odyssey To The West is an futuristic action game for the PS3 and X360 that's loosely based on the ancient Chinese novel Journey To The West. There's an interesting pedigree behind this game as it is directed by Andy Serkis, the man best known for his performance capture performances as Gollum in Lord of The Rings and King Kong in the most recent remake. Serkis also did performance capture in this game as the main character Monkey.

Official art and screencaps are below but, in particular, check out the next two pictures. They are of a life-sized statue of Monkey made to promote the game. I wonder who got to keep that.

Sephiroth Made "Real"

Despite all appearances, the pic above is not of a real person. It's actually a model of Final Fantasy VII bad guy Sephiroth from a exhibition in Japan a while back. I guess this sort of refutes the whole "they'd never look good in real life" argument.

Don't think that this post heralds the beginning of an era where I'll post guys cosplaying or something like that. This is as "real" as HFG will ever get. Check out a bunch more pics below.
