Toy OTD: Medicom, H8Graphix Vinyl Collectible Doll: Spider-Man 3 Figure (Black Costume Variant)

Recently, Medicom has started to produce highly stylized superhero figures as part of their Vinyl Collectible Doll line. They're not chibi-style, but their proportions and features are very exaggerated.

This is my current favorite of the new additions - the stylization and posing complement each other really well in the sculpt. The color palette is pretty simple, but the paint apps on the costume's webbing are very nice. There's a traditional, red-and-blue costumed version, but I like the simplicity of this colorway better.

You can still get either version at ningyoushi.com for $65.00 + shipping each.

Toy OTD: Medicom Vinyl Collectible Dolls: Minnie Mouse From 'Two-Gun Mickey' (2004)

Once again, Medicom hits it out of the park with this fantastic retro Disney figure! A gorgeous sculpt, a strong pose, and an appropriately monochromatic color scheme. The only thing that keeps this toy from being utterly perfect is the lack of a dispaly base, but it does stand well on its own. It's a lovely piece of work.

Minnie wasn't as popular a seller as the Two-Gun Mickey was, so you might be able to find one for sale outside of eBay, even though it came out three years ago. Hobby Link Japan might be able to get you one for about $32.00 + shipping, and Toy Tokyo is selling it for $44.99 + shipping.
