i cannot believe it.... almost 2k on those fig..

Thread needs moar pics.

OMG!!!
Styer AUG!!!
hangmen, who do you have to kill to get that AUG!?!?!
blardy hell, i can never find one here.

almost...
and there's one more i havent bought, and another exclusive one yet to be released. pengsan

more pics...

styer... good gun.. .. g36 also..

lucky lah u guys,,...

i only got these...

Unfortunately, it ain't such a good-looking AUG. It came from 21st Century Toys Delta Force CQB (my first 12" action figure). I know the pairing of foreign weapon with US SpecOps seems odd, but I do know that as with any SpecOps in the world, they're trained to use foreign weapons. Also, the AUG is used by US coastguards (surprise) due to its reliability.

^yeah, and not to mention left-hander friendly too.

Product review:
Ironic isn't it, for someone who was so anti VH (Very Hot), the Hot Toys clone to be buying a VH Navy Seal Night Ops Jumper. But of course, my actions are justifiable in the sence i'm a kitbasher reborn and that i cannot wait for Hot Toys to release their weapon set which it release date never announced.


crapy looking box, still it does the job of keeping it's content from spilling out.

overview
VH latest product is a figure-less Navy Seal Night Ops Jumper which means that the nude body is not included. at RM240 (from ultimate toys) for this thing, i wouldn't call it cheap although it's atleast RM50 cheaper from Hot Toys and RM80 cheaper from Toy Soilder which is famous for figure-less uniform sets.


no figure, parts and uniform only. comes with a picture cum poster.

quality
It's a no brainer that VH products are VERY MUCH inferior to big players like Hot Toys and Toy Soilder. The puny clip buckle on the helmet are nothing more but stubs. and those stubs broke on the very first day i put it on my figure. though i do have replacement clips buckle to replace those stubs, it's the people who don't and those who are still very new to this kit bashing to stay away from VH products at the moment. because to replace every single stub is not cheap.

This set comes with M4A1 carbine and a LAW. the weapons are not weathered. Not that i'm bothered since i like my weapons unweathered and clean looking. I've always wanted a LAW to complete a bash of mine which has been WIP for almost 2 years. As for the carbine though, i've scavange its parts to beef up a SAW.


LAW, the MAIN reason for my purchase

however, all is not lost. VH did a surprisingly well job on the body armor and uniform which is bbi/master craft like in quality. the only difference is the velcro used by VH doesn't seems to be sticy enough and keep pelling off. guess i'll need to replace that too. but overall sewing of the vest is clean and no loose threads (which dragon is famous of).

final verdict
VH is definitely not for amature or beigners since lots of parts need to be reworked. after all the time and money spent on improving it, might as well buy orifinal stuff from Hot Toys and Toy Soilder. Lastly, it's NOT CHEAP.

I too bought VH stuff (VH SDU Breacher) to do some fancy kitbashing on my SAS figure seen a few pages ago. Lucky that you're able to find a place to buy VH much cheaply. As for me, the only place I know where I can get VH is via ordering from Singapore. That cost me RM300!

Nonetheless, everything is same as what you said:
- Inferior quality compared to Hot Toys/Dragon/other superior 1/6 brands.
- Stubs that are easily broken/already broken! D:<
- Vest is actually quite good. Just cut off the excess threads. Nothing wrong with my VH SDU velcros though. Sticks hard.

For kitbashers like us, VH actually ain't so bad. You got tons of stuff at a slightly lesser price range (HT tend to start around RM380~RM420) than HT at the sacrifice of quality. But still, most of the stuff looks good and passable enough. As if you need authentic engraving for something small you won't care about the microdetails. At least you got tons of loose items to make profit out of.

For 1/6 gunsmiths, the relatively inferior 1/6 firearms (LOL my VH MP5 looks mirrored) which came with VH is a great way to start experimenting on making 1/6 custom guns. Also, if you do get a 1/6 action figure when buying a VH (like the VH SDU series), throw it away ASAP before your eyeballs gets fuxxored by its horrible quality!

tired of predators? have an alien! from Hot Toys...

wow!!!
nice alien, lone wolf. the only thing missing is bodies of space marines.





bwt, there's some 1/6 backpack that i'm going to let go, because i've no use for it.
1) Hot Toys desert camo, near mint condition. with stuffings.
2) Very Hot navy seal jumper black back pack. with stuffings
3) Very Hot parachute (with spare)
4) Dragon olive back pack. ok-ish condition. stuffings removed.
any takers before i put it up in garage sales?
pictures will be uploaded later.

how does this look like?

1) Hot Toys desert camo, near mint condition. with stuffings.

might be a potential buyer here...

I'm so excited till i don't have the patience to shrink the picture. This is my first purchase of candy toys and suddenly it felt like christmas again.



opening the box...


Every smaller box comes with:
1/6 gun
gun stand
presumely manual (it's in jap)
2 chewing gum


Tadaa...
i've noticed that the scope was placed wrongly. it wasn't hard to remove it and refit it again. lots of parts are snap on.


after opening the other 7 boxes....
(I've decided not to open the duplicates since i'll be selling/trading them later)

Product Comparison

Red Horse (top) VS Candy Toy (Bottom)
The world gun collection is bigger compared to redhorse. however, i've difficulty gettig sharp image of both guns which the black color of both guns could be the factor. anyway, the candy toy looks better than Reh horse custom AK since the candy toy AK is weathered and quality of bbi standards.


Dragon (bottom) VS Candy Toy (Top)
it's a no brainer who's the winner here. again the candy toy PSG-1 is bigger than existing 1/6 weapons especially from old timers like Dragon. Although this PSG-1 looks better than my old PSG-1, it still cannot challenge Dragon's PSG-1 where the stock is adjustable and it comes with lense cover. but then again, it's a candy toy, can't expect much from it.


Konami (top) VS Candy Toy (bottom)
The FAMAS that i got for comparison is from Konami's Metal Gear Solid 1 action figure which is 21C in detail, but it uses high quality plastic which gives a seramic feel to it. Being put side by side, it doesn't take much to tell which is the winner, the candy toy beats konami's FAMAS hands down i terms of quality and details. the only complain that i have is the mag for the candy toy famas is loose and keeps dropping. something that can be fixed with some glue.


Dragon (Bottom) VS Candy Toy (Top)
Another no brainer to guess who's the winner here. in terms of scale, the candy toy didn't differ much and almost the same with dragon's P90. unlike the earlier PSG-1 comparison.

Bottom Line
Yes, it's no where near Dragon's or hottoys quality. but RM168 for 10 weapons, that's RM16.80 per weapon and the quality of it is acceptable (for it's price).
