Interesting week this time around. Not one, but two toys made specifically for girls found their way into the overall ranking this week. Meanwhile the hobby ranking features a male Nendoroid and two female knights that couldn't be dressed more differently. Plus one very scantily clad bride. Check it all out below!

It's not often that the hobby ranking isn't dominated by giant robots and Japanese heroes. Even less often do we see five different companies in one ranking. In fact between the two rankings we're seeing eight different companies at work here (Bandai got in three times), that just doesn't happen. Pretty great mix all together and that is indeed a different Gundam Barbatos from the 1/144 we've been seeing for several weeks now. Next ranking will probably look entirely different from this week, whenever Toynes.jp gets around to it.
Toy Soul 2015 is happening in Hong Kong, and with some new superhero films on the horizon, Hot Toys is going to work. The company made its name on lifelike 1/6-scale figures drawing from movie and video game properties, and the upcoming Batman v Superman and Captain America: Civil War are primed to be the biggest blockbusters of 2016.
For starters, you can see much of the cast of Civil War: Captain America (love the character but he almost always looks like a dweeb in his costume), Iron Man, War Machine, Black Widow, Scarlet Witch, Hawkeye, Falcon, Vision, and Bucky Barnes. Are we sure this isn't Avengers 3?
They also had life-sized Captain America and Iron Man statues, which are always impressive to see. And if you want something a bit cuter, check out the Cosbaby bobble heads. I think Ant-Man's is the best, and somewhat appropriate given its diminutive size.
On the DC side, Batman v Superman is the main attraction. You can see Batman in the three outfits from the trailers, plus a very detailed Superman figure. On top of that they had a life-sized armored Batman statue, and and scale models of the bat signal and Batmobile. Unfortunately there was no 1/6-scale Wonder Woman or Aquaman, but their Cosbaby incarnations did show up.
Be sure to check out the gallery for all the photos from Hot Toys. Even if you're not hyped up about the movies, the figures are pretty magnificent.
