Toys from the Dr.

Hasbro Transformers Bumble Bee

2007-09-09T23:01:00.000+08:00

I think this has got to be my favorite toy. It not only transforms but has motion activated sensors. I need to make a video out of him soon.

Hot Toys - Jack Sparrow in Pirates of the Carribean

2007-09-09T22:54:00.000+08:00

Hot Toys always make quality figures, and Jack Sparrow for the Pirates of the Carribean is no exception. The figure is well made and very detailed. My only niggle on it, is the color of the skin tone. I find him a bit too dark for my liking. But overall, a very nice figure.

SideShow Leia as Boushh

2007-09-09T22:46:00.000+08:00

My first female Star Wars figure. One made by Sideshow, Leia as Boushh during the negotiations with Jabba the Hutt for Han Solo in Return of the Jedi.

Medicom Sandtrooper

2007-09-09T22:36:00.000+08:00

As usual, Medicom's stuff is always of high quality and standard. I think the Sandtrooper is a nice extension from the Stormtrooper. I really like the dirt put on its armor and the detail on the back pack.

New Toys for August

2007-09-09T22:29:00.000+08:00

It was him... all him that had influenced me in my toy collection. :)

Group Photos

2007-06-24T15:18:00.000+08:00

There is always peace and harmony with group photos... :)

Medicom Spawn

2007-06-24T15:13:00.000+08:00

Oh yes, I was brave enough to take Spawn out of the box. Its now part of my collection. Its really one of the best looking figures around!

Check it out!

Medicom Stormtrooper

2007-06-24T15:10:00.000+08:00

Yes, alas, my long awaited order for the Medicom Stormtrooper arrived. This is said to be one of the best Stormtroopers made.

Just Messing About.....

2007-06-20T23:01:00.000+08:00

Well, just general photography ..... :)

No Shirin is not angry in the photo, she is trying to imitate Elmo's look.

Medicom - Spawn

2007-06-20T22:56:00.000+08:00

This is the coolest figure yet. Its bigger than normal. Can't fit into my IKEA show cabinet at the moment. I need to think of some plan for this one.

This wasn't really on my list, but Roy tempted me with it. Its sooo goood....

I'll have more photos of it once I have it taken out of the box. :)

Medicom - Spiderman 3

2007-06-20T22:50:00.000+08:00

Spiderman 3 by Medicom. I really like the outfit, the material has got a leathery feel to it. Even the mesh pattern found in the movie is replicated on the figure. Really Nice!!

Hot Toys - Terminator Endoskeleton

2007-06-20T22:44:00.000+08:00

I know, its been a long time since I posted updates. I've managed to squeeze some time to do a quick update. Here comes the Terminator.... in its endoskeleton form.. The eyes light up, really cool!

Medicom Shadow Stormtrooper

2007-03-03T22:42:00.000+08:00

I picked this up together with the Clonetrooper as well from Roy. Really nice..

Medicom's Clonetrooper

2007-03-03T22:27:00.000+08:00

Clone trooper - symbol of the grand army of the republic, the clone trooper has become a ubiquitous persence on the embattled worlds throughout the galaxy.

In other words, just a cool figure!!!

Birthday Gift - Tandem Twin Animal Girl Lynx (Topaz)

2007-03-03T22:17:00.000+08:00

Ha ha ha, I got this really cool birthday gift from my wife. Yes, its from my wife! So don't think its something that I was perving on. :)

Its a PVC figure by Yamato Toys, Tandem Twin Animal Girl Lynx (Topaz). Though it is a fixed pose, there is a really cool feature. I shouldn't have to say anything more, but I'll let the pictures explain it. *winks* :)

Medicom's Yoda

2007-01-18T22:24:00.000+08:00

Today, I stumbled across a blog with Medicom's Yoda in his collection and I felt it was just something I had to have. It just fits nicely in my Star Wars collection. I have Luke and Darth Vader, so Yoda had to be part of the picture. An email shot across to Roy and whoooshhhh...... one was reserved and I picked it up in the evening.

Takara Jin-Roh Panzer Cop - Damn Cool!

2007-01-18T21:30:00.000+08:00

Yes, I did mention that I purchased the Panzer Cop from Takara together with Luke and Darth Vader. However, I'm still considering if I should take it out of the box or to let it remain as my mint collectible. Honesty, I'm going for a Star Wars theme, so I'm not sure how to fit him in.

Well, the pictures of it, still in the box are below, but Takara's pictures of this really cool figure can be found HERE.

Bespin Han Solo

2007-01-16T22:52:00.000+08:00

On Sunday, two days ago, Sideshow's Bespin Han Solo made it into my collection when I picked it up from Simply Toys at Suntec. Lucky for me, there were only a couple left and I managed to secure one.

I think Han Solo's belt looks really good and full of features. The detail of Harrison Ford's face is really realistic in my opinion. In comparison to my Medicom's Luke Skywalker's figure, I think the size of SideShow figures are much more proportional.

Anyways, pictures are worth a thousand words, and here is Han Solo modeling for the camera:

The detail on the gun is also quite amazing...

A mask also came with it.

I love the detail on his belt....

Medicom's Luke Skywalker, Darth Vader ROTS and Takara's Panzer Cop

2007-01-16T22:37:00.000+08:00

Luke and Darth Vader (Return of the Sith version) from Medicom made it into my collection on the 9th January from The Falcon, thanks to Roy.

I think I should really stick to my Star Wars theme and try to not be tempted to get others. Unfortunately, that wasn't suppose to be and I ended up picking up Takara's Panzer Cop as well.

Doh! Just realised as I'm typing this that I forgot to take photos of the Panzer Cop. Oh well, in another blog then...

Well, Luke's pics are as follows:

Here we have Darth Vader.....

His helmet detaches....

Anakin's burnt head is one that I'm most impressed, its really life like.

Obi-Wan Kenobi

2007-01-16T21:45:00.000+08:00

Obi-Wan made it into my collection just days after picking up Qui-Gon and Anakin. I had to get him from Simply Toys at Raffles Place.

His Box.....

And the rest of the photos. I have to admit, he doesn't really have much interesting stuff. Just a very nice detailed face.

Animated Boba Fett

2007-01-16T21:30:00.000+08:00

I forgot to post up pictures of my Gentle Giant Ltd Limited Edition Animated Boba Fett.

The box was quite big but does it job nonetheless.

The certificate of authenticity for Boba Fett, limited to only 7000 and mine is 4869.

Anyways, here is Boba Fett.........

Qui-Gon Jinn and Sith Apprentice Anakin

2007-01-15T22:30:00.000+08:00

I picked up the next two figures on the 2nd January from Simply Toys at Suntec and my collection now stands at three!

In addition I was so tempted by the limited edition Animated Boba Fett by Gentle Giant Ltd that it had to come home with me.

Anyway, once again here are my photos:

Sideshow's boxes are always really well made and had really pretty pictures.

Qui-Gon in his famous stance.

The detail on his beard is quite impressive.

His Jedi outfit without the robe.

Another angle..

Another close up..

Here's looking at you...

Even his long hair is well modeled...

Anakin in his stance...

Anakin's outfit is really nice. I like the leather like material.

A close up shot of Anakin with his Sith eyes...

Another pose of Anakin. I like the detail of his artificial hand.

My First Star Wars Figure by SideShow- Darth Maul!

Christmas day, 25th Dec 2006, the day that started it all. It was a christmas party over at Daisy and Alex's when I first saw how a collector showcased his action figures. It was wall to wall, pillar to pillar, from room to room. Alex had hundreds of action figures that just stunned me silly. I must had spent hours just staring and admiring his collection. It was better than being at a toy shop. What caught my attention was his collection of star wars figures. Then after a couple of emails with him, a Darth Maul Inclusive version was reserved for me at The Falcon on the 31st Dec 2006.

My very first Star Wars 12inch Action figure.... Darth Maul!

It came in a really nice collector's box and looks really good.

My attempts at modelling Darth Maul and photography:

Darth Maul standing tall with his robe.

A close shot of Darth Maul with his top down.

Darth Maul in his fighting pose with his light saber.

A close shot of that pose.

A doube light saber pose.

This one is looking at you....

A different doube saber pose..

He does look a bit intimidating.

This is only the very first one.... more to come...... watch this space!
