Mighty Jaxx's XXRAY DC Comics Wave 3

Ho ho ho, Merry Christmas everyone !

How's your Christmas?

If you are on this page, we would like to wish all our readers who are celebrating this festive period a blessed Christmas this year & thank you to all of you for spending some time on this holiday season to read our Unboxing Sunday.

Without further a do, let's begin.

Remember a few months ago that we reviewed wave 1 & wave 2 of Mighty Jaxx's XXRAY DC Comics? And did you remember in our wave 2's blog, we did not unbox The Flash as we did not have this vinyl art figure with us? Well, we have it right here this time & we would like to share with you how it looks like.




                                      


Let's rewind on what is XXRAY?

XXRAY are dissected vinyl figures that stands at 4 inches tall where it is individually hand painted & assembled. In our opinion, you can expect these collectibles to be quite detailed. The concept of XXRAY is it's unique dissection where it allows collectors a gift of X-Ray vision of their favourite characters.

We received the stocks of wave 1, 2 & 3 of Mighty Jaxx's XXRAY DC Comics last week on Wednesday where it was just in time for it's launch in Comic Fiesta, PWTC, Malaysia on 17 & 18 December 2016 which was on a Saturday & Sunday. Phew, you won't be able to imagine how hectic we were during that week. Comic Fiesta 2016 was the first time that these XXRAY products are featured in the Malaysian market unless collectors out there already have their XXRAY figures through online or if they were in certain countries to purchase these collectibles.

As the products are with us now, we can finally unbox The Flash from wave 2 as well as XXRAY DC Comics wave 3 which has a villain theme.

Wave 3 consists of:
  • The crown prince of crime, The Joker (8)
  • The mercenary, Deathstroke (9)
  • Supervillain, Black Manta (10)

There are noticeable differences between The Flash & those figures from Wave 3.

One of the differences would be that the dissected part of The Flash is on the left side where else The Joker, Deathstroke & Black Manta's dissected parts are on the right side. In other case, all of the heroes from XXRAY will have a dissected part on their left side where else all villains from the XXRAY series will have their dissected part on their right side.

The other difference that is noticeable would be that the colour of the dissected part. If you have a look at The Flash, it has a creamy colour on his dissected part where else the villains in wave 3 has a dark greyish dissected parts.

Let's take a look at how the crown prince of crime looks like:



Deathstroke has a removable weapon that fits into the collectible & one feature that we find interesting was that there is another weapon at the back of this figure. However, the weapon at the back of Deathstroke is not removable.



Black Manta has 2 removable weapons which fits into it's hands & at first, we thought it will be difficult for this figure to stand on it's own due to the fact that the head of Black Manta that is huge. How wrong we were as it stands on it's own perfectly. Its unique head is something for you collectors to take note on.



Well, we have gone through wave 3 of XXRAY DC Comics as well as The Flash from wave 2 so we will end our blog here on this wonderful Christmas day. Our next XXRAY Unboxing Sunday should be Wave 4 of this XXRAY series which most likely will be in the 2nd quarter of 2017.

Can't forget our favourites! :)

Mystery Mini Disney Villains


What's up readers?

How's your week going so far? 
It's been a hectic week for us @ The Loot Chest as we welcome our distribution products of Mighty Jaxx's XXRAY as well as our participation in Comic Fiesta 2016.

But..
No matter how busy we are, we will spent some time doing some unboxing of products that are available in our store.

So, without further a do, this week's unboxing Sunday is our very first unboxing of mystery minis from Funko!


If you guys aren't familiar, each carton consists of 12 blind boxes with a chance to get a random character (which we will note down the ratio below).

Individual box

As you can see from below, the ratio for all 12 characters are listed on the back of the individual boxes.


  • Red Queen 1/24
  • White Rabbit 1/24
  • Maleficent 1/6
  • Diablo 1/12
  • Cruella de Vil 1/12
  • Patch 1/12
  • Prince John 1/24
  • Sir Hiss 1/24
  • Ursula 1/12
  • Flotsam & Jetsam 1/12
  • Dr. Facilier 1/72
  • Voodoo 1/72
  • Hades 1/12
  • Pain 1/12
  • Shan Yu 1/36
  • Hayabusa the Falcon 1/36


The ratio
So from the ratio, the Princess & the Frog villain is the most rare, followed by the villain from Mulan. Since the two of us unboxed all 12 blind boxes, Mark unboxed everything on the left, and Dinesha unboxed everything on the right.

Starting from the top 6 layer, Mark unboxed Sir Hiss from Robin Hood while Dinesha unboxed Ursula from The Little Mermaid.

Ursula
Next, we unboxed Hades (M) from Hercules & Shan Yu (D) from Mulan

Shan Yu
We pulled Flotsam & Jetsam (M) from The Little Mermaid & Patch (D) from 101 Dalmatians from the back two of the top layer. Personally, Dinesha has no idea why Patch was included in the Disney Villains lineup while Mark was like who is Patch? *which will be his favourite after all*

Flotsam & Jetsam
Patch
Now. let's take a look what is in store for us at the bottom 6 of the display box. It's Cruella de Vil (M) from 101 Dalmatians & Diablo (D) from Sleeping Beauty.
Cruella de Vil
Diablo
Next, we unboxed Pain (M) from Hercules & White Rabbit (D) from Alice in Wonderland.

White Rabbit
Finally (and sadly), we both unboxed Maleficent (seeing that her ratio is 1/6, we were bound to have a double).

The final line up.

Now for our favourites!

Star Wars Smuggler's Bounty : Rogue One

Hi readers, good evening !

Let's head straight to our Unboxing Sunday shall we?

Continuing from last week, this week will be no different with some of our previous blogs where our Unboxing Sunday! will be related to an upcoming new movie. Without further a do, in conjunction with the new Star Wars film that will be releasing in Malaysia on 15th December 2016, we decided to unbox Star Wars Smuggler's Bounty : Rogue One for our part two. 

A Rogue One : A Star Wars Story will be the first stand alone movie from the Star Wars's episodes & it was set in some time after Star Wars : Episode III - Revenge of the Sith & before Star Wars IV - A New Hope. Rogue One will see a group of Rebels who went on a mission to steal the plans of the Death Star, the new ultimate weapon of the Galactic Empire.



Star Wars Smuggler's Bounty : Rogue One was released in November 2016 & when we received this box, one thing stood out was that the box of this Smuggler's Bounty was different compared to previous boxes. What is different you asked? Just the shape of the box :P Previous boxes are square in shape, however, the November issue of the Smuggler's Bounty is rectangular in shape.

Let's get to the serious part of what's inside this collector box. To those that know what's inside & to those who do not know what's inside, let's go through the items together with us in

First things first, the patch & the pin of the Smuggler's Bounty which is always present in most Funko Collector Boxes. This time around it's Captain Cassian Andor on the patch & K-2SO on the pin.



Next up in the box would be the Pop! Tees & should you have this collector box or planning to purchase one, don't forget to wear your Star Wars Pop! Tees to the theaters when the movie is out on 15 December onwards.


My my, there are 2 Exclusive Pop! vinyl figures in this Smuggler's Bounty & who are the characters for these 2 Exclusive Pop! Its Jyn Erso, numbered at 148 in the Pop! Star Wars category & Imperial Death Trooper with the number 149 in the same category. What's the difference between Jyn Erso (138) which is a regular Pop! & Jyn Erso (148) in this collector box? It will be her pose & weapon of choice.


Unboxed
We said there are 2 Exclusive Pop! didn't we? The first would be Jyn Erso & the second is an Imperial Death Trooper numbered at 149. There is a regular Pop! Imperial Death Trooper numbered at 144 in the Pop! Star Wars : Rogue One line (mentioned in our part one) & the difference between these two Imperial Death Troopers would be their pose.

Unboxed
One new item that is available in this Smuggler's Bounty would be the first ever mini Hikari made by Funko & the character of this mini Hikari is no other than the famous Sith Lord, Darth Vader. Darth Vader comes in silver, blue, red, black & gold. We got the blue one as per below picture.



Unboxed
