Shockingly, I am not referring to a fan fic. These are the new new 12-inch figures being offered from the diabolically talented Hong Kong-based Hot Toys sometime in 2010. Between the uncanny (and armorless) Robert Downey Jr. as Tony Stark and the taut stomach of 300's King Leonidas, I'm tempted to simply file these guys under Nerd Girl Porn. One thing, though -- note that Leonidas has no visible joints, but if you look at the other pics over at Toys R Evil (he's got more of Stark too) he's clearly poseable. What gives? Hot Toys figured out how to make moving eyes; did they finally figure out toy flesh as well? Madness, I tell you!

Hot damn, that's a lot of very different and awesome poses from figures with no joints. On that Stark one the pictures like completely seperate figures!
And goatman? Curse you, you just beat me to it.

Holy frijoles this is too mindblowing for me to bear. What the hell. How many souls do these people have to sell to Satan in order to make such sheer awesomery?

maybe they are like Barbie knees which bend but have no visible joints (rubber flesh over poseable skeleton)

Yep they did. They used "toyflesh" (eew) on some Hellboy figures too. It limits pose-ability somewhat but looks way cool.

It may look cool, until you bend the knees too much & the joints pop out of that toy flesh...the exact injury that killed the hopes & dreams of my 1980 Winter Olympics Skiing Barbie!

Its pretty amazing. They did the jointless looking overskin thing with Rambo and Dutch from Predator also.

Dunno if I'd call them nerd girl porn, but they are gorgeously made for sure.

I think we need to work on that Nerd Girl Porn thing again.
Though I suppose if he can pose like Ken, Leonidas would make for better Barbie sex acts. So, porn could fit the definition.

Actually after visiting the website and seeing the pores on that things face, I'm almost convinced it's a miniature man who comes to life as soon as people go home and the lights are switched off.
