Lee Byung-hun & Clark Gregg Meet Their Own 1/6 Versions from Hot Toys

I've always wondered, when toy-makers gift their toy-adaptation of their product to the original actor playing the character in which the toy is made, based on the movie, how particularly horrifying it would have been, if the sculpted likeness of said actor on the toy-figurine, was horrible?



Now imagine if the figure you held in your hands, was made by Hot Toys instead, and your likeness was generously sculpted so much with accurate to your own likeness, that you hold in your hand a virtual mini-me voodoo-doll that someone could worship, feel-up, or undress, in the comforts of their own homes?

Awesome feeling either way, I think! … as South Korean actor Lee Byung-hun (above) who plays "Storm Shadow" in "G.I.Joe Retaliation, and American actor Clark Gregg (below) who plays "Agent Phil Coulson" in "The Avengers" (and the upcoming TV Series "Agents of S.H.I E.L.D.) can plainly witness, and we could see the utter "joy" in their eyes!

"Don't Ever Tell Me There's No Way!" - Official Trailer for "Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D."

The missions of the Strategic Homeland Intervention, Enforcement and Logistics Division aka S.H.I.E.L.D. now has a new official trailer (which is longer than 7 seconds) featuring a sweet tease of "promise", but somehow … "quieting"? Or perhaps that is less of the pomp seen in the trailer, but I'm good either way (the "action figure / toys" was a nice touch tho … wait til they see Agent Coulson in 1/6!) … I'll be watching for "Skye" eitherway .. and Melinda May. of course... :)

"Clark Gregg reprises his role of Agent Phil Coulson from Marvel’s feature films, as he assembles a small, highly select group of Agents from the worldwide law-enforcement organization known as S.H.I.E.L.D. Together they investigate the new, the strange, and the unknown across the globe, protecting the ordinary from the extraordinary. Coulson's team consists of Agent Grant Ward (Brett Dalton), highly trained in combat and espionage; Agent Melinda May (Ming-Na Wen), expert pilot and martial artist; Agent Leo Fitz (Iain De Caestecker), brilliant engineer; and Agent Jemma Simmons (Elizabeth Henstridge), genius bio-chemist. Joining them on their journey into mystery is new recruit and computer hacker, Skye (Chloe Bennet).

Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., Marvel’s first television series, is from executive producers Joss Whedon (Marvel's The Avengers, Buffy the Vampire Slayer), Jed Whedon & Maurissa Tancharoen, who co-wrote the pilot (Dollhouse, Dr.Horrible's Sing-Along Blog). Jeffrey Bell (Angel, Alias) and Jeph Loeb (Smallville, Lost, Heroes) also serve as executive producers. Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. is produced by ABC Studios and Marvel Television." [via]

First Looks at Marvel's Agents of SHIELD

Looks good, and I hope we get to see it on Singapore's screens soon (and not via a pay-per-view-channel, because I am a cheapskate and a half, I will not lie). The tagline: "The saga that began with Marvel's The Avengers continues on television. Coming soon to ABC!" (Cheers to Eldred Tjie for the vid-headsup!). This 7-seconder first seen on Vine, apparently! and check out the 32-seconder posted below, to whet your appetites further:


Yes, #CoulsonLives! And now Ming-Na Wen is back as well, and gorgeous to boot still! So I am good here :) ... Now go check out the show via their Facebook page, and snag yourselves some images.
