Million Hero Transformers Generations 2013 Magazine

2013-08-31T03:59:00.000-07:00

Just gotten it today at Kinokuniya. This will be my 8th Million Hero Transformers magazines since the first released of back in 2009. 2009 is the only year that released 3 volumes and 2011 released 2 volumes. The rest of the yearly release only 1 volume each.

What i truly love about this magazine is the section on "TF MANIAX" which cover different G1 era TF. This year, they cover on "Powermaster" Optimus Prime and all the different released packing, deco/re-deco and version.

Dark Sky Fire

2013-08-31T03:37:00.000-07:00

With the new release of Jet fire (yet another re-deco, in my personal point of view), i decided to take out my Dark Sky Fire for some random shot. Basically, it a great TF to play with and display.

Beast Wars 2: D-22 Gigastorm

2013-08-13T04:13:00.000-07:00

I had been searching high and low for Japan version of Beast wars 2, Gigastorm. There are too many korea version out in the market. And to find one that is in a mint condition without the chrome wear at the back and feet is very hard too.

Fansproject CA-11 and CA-12

2013-08-13T03:55:00.000-07:00

Here are my last purchase of Fansproject CA-11 (Down Force) and CA-12 (Last Chance). Now all i need is just waiting for "Motormaster" (base on G1 name, not sure what FP will call it) to be release and i can do a proper photo review of the long awaiting "Intimidator" aka Menasor.

Fansproject X-1 Code

2013-08-13T03:47:00.001-07:00

Here are some random shot of Code from Fansproject. Actully i'm waiting for X-2 (Quadrulpe-U) and X-3 (Smart Robin) to post them together, but finally i give in and post it by Toyworld Hardbone instead.

Dan Brown: Inferno is here!

2013-05-14T01:51:00.001-07:00

I had just went to Popular to collect my pre-order of Dan Brown latest novel, Inferno. It had been a long wait for all Dan Brown fan (myself) after his last release, The Lost Symbol. As you can see below, previously, all my Dan Brown novel is in paperback form but this round, i can't wait to read it so i go for hardcover. But once the paperback is release, i'll get 1 copy of the paperback for my collection and donate this hardcover version to the national library.

Ultimate KREON Collection

2013-05-14T01:46:00.001-07:00

I'm always interested in this mini-fig from KREON build set but those build set don't really interest me at all. When i source from secondary market (ebay or flee maket), the price is always on the high side. So i just wait and wait, here.. the ultimate collection set is finally out. I'm so glad that i waited for it. Now i'm only hoping that they will carry on for the rest of the mini-fig (shockwave, hahaha..)

Ironman 3 Mystamp Collection

2013-05-14T01:39:00.003-07:00

This is my latest addition to my stamp collection. It call, "Mystamp" issue by Singapore Post Office. And this time round, it IRONMAN 3, hahaha.. I would said, Singpost is really making this series a hard to miss collection. The artwork and design is great and keep close to the Ironman 3 movie. So for all those Ironman fans, you shouldn't be missing out this series.

G1 Star Saber Reissue?

2013-05-04T22:09:00.002-07:00

When I was browsing on the latest TFs new, I came across this photo taken at Japanese toy show Daiomochahaku (Large Toy Expo). The display that Takara-Tomy is laying on is regard on upcoming releases, and I just saw it a freaking G1 Star Saber !!! Can this be the next upcoming Encore #24 after the release of Encore #23 Fort Max? Let keep our finger cross till future confirmation from Takara.

Fans Toys FT-03: Quakewave Photo Review

2013-05-04T22:01:00.000-07:00

Personally I think Fans Toys had done a great job to this "Quakewave" aka Shockwave. I'm amaze by the quality of the material used and when compare it with MP-13 Soundwave..................
Anyway, i'm just glad that 3P companies are doing a great job to keep coming up with more innovative design.

Photo Gallery of MP-15 & MP-16 (Masterpiece)

2013-05-02T21:40:00.000-07:00

I really having a great time taking pics of MP Soundwave and his gang. In term of articulation, engineering design and concept of MP-15 & MP-16, there are all very close to G1 and in the cartoon series.
