Takara Tomy - Mitsubishi Canter Sakai Moving Service

2012-01-31T17:53:00.006+08:00

This is another Christmas presents that I got from a good friend of mine last Christmas.

"Mitsubishi Canter Sakai Moving Service" truck produced by Takara Tomy.

The box;

Out of the box;

And now finally out of the plastic wrapper;

This truck comes with some gorgeous features like those gorgeous decals - I love that Panda;

And to make it sweeter, the cargo storage door is openable;

That's how it looks like in there;

Overall, this is a brilliant miniature replica of the "Mitsubishi Canter Sakai Moving Service" truck with the usual great painting and finishing from Takara Tomy and the Panda is certainly an attention grabber that make it looks gorgeous!!!! This truck shall join the rest of the majority "Japanese stuff" down there on our liquor cabinet......

Fourze Module Change Series 04 - Kamen Rider Meteor

2012-01-27T15:35:00.016+08:00

This is Kamen Rider Meteor action figure from from "Fourze Module Change Series" action figures/toys line up based on the current Kamen Rider Fourze tv show in Japan. This figure is produced by "the big brother B" - Bandai, thru their long term collaboration with Toei (and in directly Ishimori Productions)

It seems to be common since the last few years ago that the main Kamen Rider hero and series will have some sort of "side kick" or "secondary protagonist" just like Batman who have Robin as his bitch LOL...

Kamen Rider Decade have that blue and black guy - Kamen Rider Diend. After that Kamen Rider W (or Double) have his few other friends with several colors followed by Kamen Rider Ozu with his pal Kamen Rider Bitch..... I mean Kamen Rider Birth.... LOL... and now it's the time for Fourze to have his own bitch to kick around as well LOL....

Anal sex is really a difficult act to perform without full consent and thus let's start with this figure review LOL;

The box;

Eventually, prior to browsing around our official online hobby shop (HLJ) I never really look around the world wide web about this Meteor guy. I haven't watch a single episode of Kamen Rider Fourze anyway and I don't know much info about the development of the series but I do know exactly when the new action figure available for pre-order in (HLJ) - thus I never expected that this "FMCS04 Kamen Rider Meteor" is a combination of the action figure and the motobike..... certainly a pretty nice bonus....

And frankly speaking, I only knew about it last week when payment is due and (HLJ) are about to send the item, when I click the link again and wow... I see the picture... a figure and a bike - I'm amazed...

Some photos from the backside of the box/packaging;

Out of the box... you will get these stuff;

And of coz, the manual is there as well if you need them;

Now let's have a look at this figure;

And a little bit of close up looks on the design, sculpt, painting and finishing;

My impression on this Meteor guy figure is that the design and detailing is quite brilliant, the glossy finishing is nice while the face/head/helmet design - my oh my - way much cool or better than the face/head/helmet design of Kamen Rider Fourze. It's like some sort of blue flames keep on burning and shining brightly on the head.... awesome....

This is the "Meteor Galaxy" gauntlet and basically this is Meteor sole weapon;

In fact, so far, this is the one and only thing that I dislike about this figure... they fixed the left hand pointing figure to be this way and thus you can't really do the "punching" or "grabbing" articulation act on the left hand...

I guess it has something to do with the intention of the designing team so that we can achieve this kind of pose;

And oh... maybe this is one of the other reason why they designed it that way... so that this guy can do this "pressing a button" act on his "Meteor Galaxy" gauntlet at his right arm, something like this;

I don't really know why but maybe that is the trademark of this cock sucker so it's quite important to have his finger to be that way LOL....

Articulation wise, no problem what so ever.... this joint system of this figure is so fantastic and dynamic and thus you can perform lot's of action pose that you can think off;

Now let's see the bike;

Not much I can say about it, I'm not really a bike fan of bike and not much I knew about bike either but I think it's quite nicely detailed and they did their best to replicate the actual bike as seen in the tv show. From the design and looks of this bike, I think this bike is those "motocross" type of bike - Honda XR250 - the designed motif is those artificial satellite. The name of this bike in the tv show is "MBM3000X".

A little bit of pose with the Meteor guy on his "MBM3000X".... faster than any other Vespa in this planet LOL....

Vroom... Vroom... Vroooooooooommmmmmm....

I don't know much about this Kamen Rider Meteor guy but you can read more about his pervert personality from Wikipedia = http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kamen_Rider_Meteor

Nonetheless from the little that I knew after reading that articles and from what I can see on the back of the box, Kamen Rider Meteor can summon Cosmic Energy to harness the power of the planets. When the Meteor Switch is inserted into the Meteor Galaxy's Switch Socket, it initiates a Rider Punch Limit Break known as the Starlight Shower.

Thus, with my poor skills of photo manipulating... I did a few of these to copy what I saw on the box;

All the results above were created from Photoscape which you can download from here; (http://www.photoscape.org/ps/main/index.php) and it's legally free....

Overall, this is a good action figure of Kamen Rider Meteor coupled with that fascinating bike - a wonderful 2 in 1 packaging and they are not heavy at all. The design, detailing and finishing are nice and my only personal dislike about it is only on that left hand pointing finger but in fact that is not really a big problem - in a way you could say that it's unique to be that way.

In my opinion, if you can afford it and lucky enough to collect all figures available from this Fourze Module Change Series, then by all means, get all of them, but if you wanted to be choosy and selective, I think you can just get the FMCS01 Base States and this FMCS04 Meteor. The again, at the end, it's up to you what you want really, this personal preference matter is just like sex fetish, some people like anal sex, some don't... simple as that LOL....

You can order this thing from HLJ = http://www.hlj.com/product/BAN970300

Hot Wheels - Nissan Datsun Bluebird 510

2012-01-20T13:18:00.011+08:00

This is a classic Nissan Datsun Bluebird 510 produced by Hot Wheels.

Back then, several decades ago, this model seems to be popular even in the US of A and thus Hot Wheels decided that the miniature scale model of this car is worth to be produced and the sales opportunity is quite good - certainly Hot Wheels was right about that decision.

It's kind of hard to get this car you know, you may find 3 or 4 or more toy shops or those big departmental stores selling Hot Wheels cars but that doesn't guarantee that you can or will find this model easily amongst all those assorted Hot Wheels cars that they have in store. This particular one, I managed to get it from a fellow collector of Hot Wheels who being so kind to sell it to me at his cost price.

The Datsun 510 series was launched in August 1967 and it was it was one of the most comprehensive Bluebird ranges in terms of body styles with two-door sedan, a four-door sedan and later a five-door station wagon

The "510" enjoys considerable fame in the USA. The 510 Bluebird line was also imported into New Zealand as a single 1.6-litre, four-speed manual Deluxe model, assembled from CKD kits by Campbell Industries (later Toyota New Zealand Thames assembly plant). Local content included glass, radiator, upholstery, carpet, paint, wiring and numerous other items.

A few automatic and twin carburettor SSS versions were imported built-up from Japan, primarily for buyers who had access to funds overseas and could utilise the country's 'no remittance' new car purchase scheme to avoid lengthy waiting lists.

An automatic gearbox model was also available for the deluxe range. The factory also made two versions of the 2 door coupe. They were a 1600GL and a 1800GL. The 1600GL had a single carb or twin carbs and 1800 cc cars had twin carbs The 1600sss were also used in motorsport as test cars for Nissan Japan. The cars were used in numerous motorsport rallies by Ewold van Bergen from Pretoria, South Africa, who was a test engineer for Nissan Japan.

Now, let's review this miniature car;

First the packaging;

And now, out of the packaging;

This seems to be a racing or rally car, I don't know, but they include some decent decals on it;

Overall, this seems to be a nice replica of the Nissan Datsun Bluebird. If you not fussy, then I guess everything is fine on this particular car but I'm a little fussy and thus I'm gonna do a little bit of customization on this one....

But first, let's have a look at the interior;

I will remove that bar thingy as I'm wanna make this car like a normal road version and still with some decals on the body ^__^

The next thing I did is changing the steering wheel from left to right.... this is Japanese car after all ^__^

Just cut it and then use those Tamiya plastic cement or super glue and stick it on the right, simple as that;

After that, I painted the whole interior with black color;

And done with the interior work.... next the body work.....

I do love the default red color of this car but after I watched that music video of Secret for their song "Love is Move" from their latest album, I noticed that the blue and black combination is quite gorgeous and thus I decided to dedicate this Nissan Datsun Bluebird to that fantastic music video of Secret - Love is Move.

Secret is "Shewsbury Land Band of The Year 2011" so I think it would be nice to dedicate this car to them ^__^

You can see their music video below;

They are gorgeous!!!!! I love those legs.... never failed to give me erection when ever I watched it LOL.....

Apart from that, the model name of this car is "Datsun Bluebird" after all, so why not, let's give it a black and blue treatment....

And within just 3 hours, I completed everything, it is quite fast for my standard....

This is now the result, this car now is know as "The Blue Shark of Akina Speed Stars - A tribute to Secret Love is Move" - LOL quite long for a name right ^__^

After looking at the final result... I kind of like it even more than the original color scheme. AT least now I can say that this car is perfectly customized in accordance to my personal taste. Now it's time to take the car out for some test drive and we will beat those Toyota Vios and Toyota Corolla easily LOL

Fast Lane - London Bus

2012-01-18T08:00:00.000+08:00

This is a decent London Bus from a Chinese brand "Fast Lane" available from local stores for a mere SGD 5.00 (just around USD 3.00 plus something like that). I don't know much about this "Fast Lane" brand but I tend to believe they are a Chinese brand with their own factory in China and they also have those 1/64 scale die cast car models like what you can get from Hot Wheels, Maisto, Matchbox etc. with slightly cheaper price than those Hot Wheels, locally here it's SGD 2.90 while typical Hot Wheels price is SGD 3.50

I like London Bus, in a way, it's one of those popular London icons, I never been to London and that means I never had the chance to be on the open-air top floor of such bus in Asia but at least I can buy this replica at a decently cheap price.

The box;

Outside the box;

Since they use screw, we can separate the body and chasis and observe the interior further;

But before we do that, let's just see what we can see easily;

And now, let's have a look at the interior from the bottom floor;

Nothing great actually... simple as it could be....

I would love to paint all those white parts into black, I guess it would be more nicer with dark color;

And that's about it.... overall, this is a nice London Bus replica at reasonable size and price. It doesn't promise anything spectacular, you get what you pay - a simple London Bus, nice for display.

Matchbox Ice Cream Van

2012-01-17T08:00:00.000+08:00

Saw this cutey pinky Ice Cream Van from Matchbox in one of the local toy shop and without further delay, I bought it simply because of it's cuteness LOL...

The packaging;

Out of the packaging;

Features wise, this is just a simple van, Matchbox don't even mentioned who is the maker and I don't care anyway. This van is all about beautiful pink ice cream van with all those creamy decals LOL

On the backside you can see the ice cream operation unit;

Surprisingly though this van comes with right hand steering wheel (British/Japanese style);

And that's about it....

Overall, as I mentioned earlier, this van is all about pink ice cream van - plain and simple - in a way it reminded me of the time when I was a lot younger as a kid and we always "being alert" about the ice cream van when it comes to our neighborhood. I was from a very poor family back then and I think I only bought the ice cream once..... but then again, now when I'm old enough, I realized that those sweet ice cream is not really good for kids and certainly not to be eaten often. If you ever watched the Eddie Murphy talk show "Delirious" you would remember the ice cream joke story that he told us (the viewers) which also interconnected with the story of his family LOL...

I m lazy to do any further customization on this particular pink ice cream van, I think it's better to leave it as it is in original state - plain and simple - gorgeous and sweet ^__^

Hot Wheels - GMC Motorhome

2012-01-16T08:00:00.000+08:00

In response to the emergence of many ganbangers group around America, GM introduced this pikey's (gypsies) friendly vehicle LOL called the Motorhome LOL....

"Motorhome" is a type of self-propelled "recreational vehicle" or RV which offers living accommodation combined with a vehicle engine. The term "motorhome" is most commonly used in the UK, United States, and Canada.

Usually "Motorhome" comprises sleeping accommodation for between 2 and 8 people. Each sleeping place is called a berth. Each berth is either fixed or converts from another part of the motorhome's interior.

A kitchenette area will contain cooking equipment. The type of equipment included differs depending on the motorhome make and model, but generally a kitchenette has an oven, grill, hob and sink. More luxury models may also provide a microwave. A separate washroom will be housed in the motorhome. Each washroom will have a flushing cassette toilet, shower and basin. The cassette toilet sometimes swivels to provide extra room and can be accessed from outside the motorhome for easy emptying. More recent motorhomes will have a separate shower cubicle.

A motorhome will also have a cab area with a driver and passenger seat. These seats often swivel to become part of the living space. A dinette area provides a table and seating space typically used for eating meals. A lounge may also be included, consisting of either a u-shaped sofa located in the rear of the motorhome or a side lounge.

More importantly, if you are one of those gangbangers like Evaritus Lau - LOL - this car is ideal to perform group sex ceremony (also known as orgy) while keep moving on the road - just make sure that the driver can focus on the road and traffic while waiting for his turn LOL....

Let's have a look at this model, first the packaging;

And now, out of the packaging;

Feature wise, apart from those "fire" decals and glossy painting scheme, I think the only other external features we could mention is the 3 tires each on both side LOL...

Now, let's have a look at the interior... we need to use those soldering iron;

And this is it;

Looks quite roomy but the white color scheme make it difficult to analyze;

I'm quite happy with this Motorhome, we don't have this vehicle in South East Asia - or so I think, but if I have the chance to own it, I would love to have this Motorhome - you can go to the beach, do some barbeque and picnic stuff and have some sort of comfort that is almost like home or you can just hang out till late night in the middle of the big city and sleep in the vehicle - maybe have sex as well... LOL...

Gangbanging or orgy is now much easier and mobile thanks to this GMC Motorhome LOL...

And eventually I decided to customized this Motorhome as I dislike those "fire" decals.... but first we will look at the painted interior;

With this "pinkies" color scheme and a little black and grey, it is much easier to observe the interior details.

And this is now the body color... nothing fancy, just a simple old school blue - a low profile color sheme and thus you can continue doing the sex orgy inside without grabbing unwanted attention from outside LOL

Part 3 (CLICK HERE)

Otherwise, you can proceed as you pleased;

In this final part, it's time to do some action pose.......... I won't say much, just have a look at the picture below, hope you enjoy them... the photography part of this review took me 4 hours >__<

I do learn something new as well from doing the review photography of this figure, when it comes to the head/face shot, you need to be at certain angle and then and only then, you can have the most out of the face and it will look exactly like the real Alice/Milla Jovovich;

We started with all those guns;

And now those Nepal knife;

And my favorite part - Alice with sword..... for me, lady with sword is kind of awesome!!!!

Trying the Uma Thurman Kill Bill standing pose... Hot Toys, please make that figure, I will buy!!!

The baton;

And last but not least.... time to put on this jacket;

The finishing is fantastic... it's hard to imagine how difficult it is to produce such items at such size;

I don't really remember Alice wearing this in the Resident Evil AfterLife movie... correct me if I'm wrong or if I forgot.... anyway, since Hot Toys included this nice jacket, I guess it's a good value added stuff for our money... I have no complain about it and certainly love it;

In fact, after a while, I prefer to see this figure with this jacket rather than without it;

I just love this combination so much - jacket and sword ^__^;

And finally... Alice find a new home for herself inside that liquor cabinet of Shewsbury Land;

Overall, this is a brilliant 1/6 scale (12 inches) figures of Alice (Milla Jovovich) of Resident Evile AfterLife 3D from Hot Toys. I love the wonderful price that I paid for it (MISB condition), I love the beautiful face sculpt many weapons supplied with this Alice and that jacket is a wonderful bonus. Apart from the ass that I mentioned, I have no other complain what so ever. I am happy with this Alice. If you are a fan of Hot Toys stuff or Alice (Milla Jovovich), then you should grab this figure.

If you want to, you can read the review all over again from the link below ^__^

Hot Toys - Resident Evil After Life 3D - Alice - Part 3 of 4

2012-01-14T21:50:00.013+08:00

Direct continuation from Part 2

If you haven't read it already, you can check out the Part 2 (CLICK HERE)

Otherwise, you can proceed as you pleased;

In this part, we will focus on the weapons - you will get all these stuff;

First we will focus on the 2 machine gun;

Not much to say, no gimmick what so ever but all looks real - just in a smaller size;

The next weapon is this mind blowing sword... another reason why I wanted this Alice figure;

Other than that, you will also get 2 Nepal knife and a baton, they looks great but not much gimmick;

And now finally the 2 pistol and the 2 shot gun - these guys have a little gimmick though :-)

The 2 pistols... it looks beautiful;

The gimmick is that you can do something like this;

Yeah you can see those small 6 bullets.... this kind of pistol is fun coz you can do some sort of "Russian Roulette" thingy....

That thing, something like switch or lock (sorry I don't know much about pistol LOL) at the rear also can move, look at the pictures below;

And the 2 shot gun;

The gimmick on this one is that you can do this;

And see the 2 bullets;

And you can even take them out (and if you are careless, you might lose them also LOL)

Hot Toys - Resident Evil After Life 3D - Alice - Part 2 of 4

2012-01-14T21:44:00.010+08:00

Direct continuation from Part 1

If you haven't read it already, you can check out the Part 1 (CLICK HERE)

Otherwise, you can proceed as you pleased;

In this part, we will focus on the body and the clothing/uniform;

It is quite impressive that they can copy the actual clothing/uniform that we saw on the movie, OK maybe now 100% perfect but I guess you can't do any better than this anyway...

The mixture of materials within that apparel is jubilant;

The attention to details is impressive.... that is why we have to pay such a premium price....

And finally now... this is the issue that I have with this figure... I personally feel that the ass is a little too big than it should be....

With such chubby ass.... it's like make me thinking that Alice is just a typical normal woman who just sit at home and watch MTV while eating vegetable salad....

I don't actually really observe the ass of Alice in the movie, how big or how small it was, but when it comes to figure and proportion issue, I just feel that the ass is slightly a little big to my liking... in a way, this reminded me of that S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Faiz that we reviewed here last time.... the same a little too big ass issue LOL...

It's not really a big problem though, probably I observed and think a little too much... the pervert Woody certainly love it LOL;

Moving on to the legs and the shoes, not much more I can say, it is quite great;

And we come to that articulation point segment and this is quite tricky.... Hot Toys figures does have decent articulation and pivot points for simple and basic action pose although this is also depending on the individual design of each figure/character.

However, you can't expect them to be like those action figures from Figma or Revoltech or S.H. Figuarts.... that is totally a different price points although they certainly offer a higher degree of articulation fun.

The joint of Hot Toys figures are more or less like many other figures that you have seen in the market, just maybe different size, but then again, same same but different. Hot Toys never promised wonderful action pose and dynamic articulation like many other action figures (usually smaller size) but they promised extremely better details and materials, simple as that.

Thus, the usual kneeling pose that we do for almost all of figure review cannot be done on this Alice, this is the best we could get;

Anyhow, no complain about it from me, I do know a little bit about this thing on Hot Toys figures and I never expect any miracle on this articulation segment. I am happy still.....

They said, just like camera - no camera is perfect and similarly no action figures is perfect either, there is always something for us to like or dislike....

Hot Toys - Resident Evil After Life 3D - Alice - Part 1 of 4

2012-01-14T21:28:00.015+08:00

There are 3 known Milla in Shewsbury Land;

The emphatic Mila Kunis from the popular comedy series of That 70's Show;

The wonderful super-hero Milla Jovovich from that Resident Evil movies;

And that old footballer from Cameroon, Roger Milla LOL;

Obviously, we will now talk about the 1/6 scale (12 inches) premium action figure of Milla Jovovich or rather Alice from that Resident Evil AfterLife movie produced by the Hong Kong based company Hot Toys.

For those of you who have been following Shewsbury Land since a few years ago, you would certainly know that this is the first ever 1/6 figures from Hot Toys to appear in Shewsbury Land and rightly so coz this is indeed my first (and maybe the one and only - unless if they produce Uma Thurman from that Kill Bill movie in the future ^__^ I will sell my kidney and lung to get that figure LOL)

Being a pervert, I love any movie or anime that features a female super hero - example, Kill Bill movies, Ghost In The Shell anime, Appleseed and maybe a few others out there that I don't remember or don't know at all....

I've been craving for this 1/6 scale collectible figures from Hot Toys for a very long time now and I was hoping that my first one will be either Deunan Knute, this Alice or Uma Thurman.... turn out to be, I suddenly got the Alice.... not so bad though... at least she is in my wish list...

As many of you know (or if you don't already know), those wonderful Hot Toys figures are quite pricey, usually in the region of near USD 200.00 (about SGD 260.00) and move all the way up to the ceiling. Being a toy collectors and reviewers and pervert and fantastic vagina kisser, I put a limit of SGD 200 for any single toy/figure items that I want to buy.... I wish I can afford more, but just like many of you out there, we do have our sensible limit and we stick with it and make the most out of it although there are once in a while that we do exceed that limit and this is one of those time for me and Shewsbury Land ^__^

However, recently, a fellow collector offer this item up for grabs for a mere SGD 180.00 (about USD 140.00) and knowing that the basic price for this item is actually USD 165.00 (about SGD 213.00) that price is certainly excellent and it's a wasted opportunity if I don't grab it.... thankfully I did and I am a happy bunny now....

So let's review the figure.... first the box;

Usually the photo on the box is on vertical mode but this Alice comes in horizontal mode.... I'm not really an expert about Hot Toys therefore I'm not sure if this is the only one or if there are a few others with the same concept out there.... I don't care anyway LOL...

The box/packaging of Hot Toys figures is certainly awesome, worth every dollar you paid for it...

The face sculpted by the beautiful and talented Korean artist - Song Hye Yun ^__^

Now let's take them out out that box/packaging;

And thee shall get all these stuff;

Inside that small plastic is some sort of extra joints - maybe as a spare if you need them in the future...

As usual, let's have a look at the figure;

The body and costume design is quite brilliant though I managed to detect 1 thing that I don't like for now.... will discuss that later....

Moving on, the face sculpt is quite emphatic, I think it's one of the best from Hot Toys so far;

Comes with 2 sets of hair design;

You can changed them accordingly as you pleased;

This is the different looks by using the 2 different hair cuts/design;

Majorete Major City Large - Mini Cooper Cabrio

2012-01-13T08:00:00.000+08:00

This is Major Ciry Large from Majorete featuring Mini Cooper Cabrio - and the car is the main absolute reason I bought this item :-(

The price is SGD 16.90 (about USD 13.00 / 1,000 yen) and as a whole package, I think it's quite a great value for money though eventually you do need to buy more LOL....

The box;

Out of the box - you will get all these stuff;

I like this beautiful sky background, I can use it for figure photography as well...

Something like this;

So now, let's have a look at all the stuff again;

Apart from what you see in the above picture, they also gave some extra stuff inside this plastic packaging;

And these are all the stuff inside the plastic packaging as seen in the above picture, I don't know much about them all but they looks cute;

And now, let's have a look at the car - Mini Cooper Cabrio in metallic blue color scheme;

The painting finishing of the car is quite excellent, I'm certainly happy with it, no scratches or dented, all is fine.

The interior detailing is quite brilliant as well, although they chose the American/French left hand steering wheel (I would love it if we can get the British/Japanese right hand steering wheel) but more importantly the dashboard detailing is quite pleasing to the eye. Just have a look at the close up pictures we provided for you to see below;

I'm really happy with this car, certainly no regrets and no complain what so ever, brilliant - absolutely brilliant!!!

And now, since this item comes as some sort of city building diorama thingy, I guess we try to make the best out of it - at least for this review reason;

The very first one I could think off - the basic set up we've seen from the box;

And then, we try other combination but since we only have 1 building, not much really we can do.... as I mentioned earlier, it would be great (and obviously that's what the producer wants) if you buy all sets available from this particular series line up and after that, with some additional extra creativity and efforts, you could really do some exciting diorama.....

The Mini Cooper Cabrio complements my not so great "Mini Collections" inside my alcohol display cabinet ^__^

At first I just wanted to put all cars with right hand steering wheel only (British/Japanese style) on this section but.... oh well, sometimes due to space limitation issue, we do need some compromise ^__^

From what you can see on the above picture, only the Mini Cooper Shewsbury Custom and this featured Mini Cooper Cabrio that we review here today comes with left hand steering (American/French style)

And this Mini Cooper Cabrio should be resting here, near the "Mini Gang";

Overall, I'm happy with this item as a whole package. For about 1,000 yen (SGD 16.90 or about USD 13.00) this is certainly a great value for money with the options to complete the whole "city" diorama as long as you don't mind to keep on buying the others within the series. Unfortunately, I only wanted the car so the building diorama stuff, I just donate it to my staff, she love it so much as she also kind of casual car model collectors....

Maisto All Stars Haulerz

2012-01-12T08:00:00.001+08:00

This is a wonderful long truck or rather "haulers" from "Maisto All Stars Haulerz" series at 1/64 scale. I don't really fancy those bog long truck/haulers but the decals and finishing of this particular item is mesmerizing and thus I cannot ignore it either. I guess there is always the first time so this is indeed my first ever long vehicle - though due to the size, I hope it is also my one and only - due to space issue, I don't rally want to have more of this item ^__^

So first and foremost, let's have a look at the packaging;

The local price here from one of the popular major Chinese departmental store is only SGD 21.00 (about USD 16.00 / 1,200 yen) and if you happen to buy this during those special holiday sales, you can get a nice 15% discount plus another 10% extra discount if you are a customer of certain banks ^__^

And now... out of the box;

Even at 1/64 scale, this haulers is exceeding 30cm in length, end to end... >__<

The main selling point or attraction for me on this item is those wonderful "Pro-Rodz" label here and there.... it is absolutely brilliant;

There are some eye catchy decals also available on the front part here;

Another fun features of this haulers is the openable "engine" hood;

And thus, you can see the "engine".... cool isn't it?

Big tires and chrome wheels - very nice....

Now, let's have a look at another important feature of this haulers;

The openable rear cargo compartment unit door;

Trust me, after all that lengthy size, if this feature is missing, I (and maybe also you) will be very disappointed with this item.... thankfully though, it's there;

And with that.... you can add in some fun by trying to put in those 1/64 scale cars in there;

Maximum 3 cars at 1/64 scale can fit inside....

And lastly, let's have a look at the interior detail of the driver's cockpit;

This is it;

Pretty simple but I guess I can live with it... I don't plan to do any touch up what so ever on this one....

Overall, this is an extremely exciting "Haulerz" from Maisto. The painting finishing, the decals and marking, the features and the price are lovable. I'm happy to finally have my first ever "haulerz" and as I mentioned earlier, I hope this is the one and only. Apparently they offer several other models with different variety of colors, decals and marking flavors for you to choose, Apart from this black, I love the other one in red color scheme.... but no, this is enough ^__^

Maisto Custom Shop - 1969 Corvette Coupe

2012-01-11T09:00:00.000+08:00

This is a beautiful 1/64 scale model of 1969 Corvette Coupe (a.k.a. Stingray) from Maisto thru their exciting "Custom Shop" series.

This is from the Third Generation (C3) of the series which spawned from 1968 to 1982. The third generation Corvette, patterned after the Mako Shark II concept car, was introduced for the 1968 model year and lasted until 1982.

C3 coupes featured the first use of T-top removable roof panels. It introduced monikers that were later revived, such as LT-1, ZR-1, and Collector Edition.

The Corvette's 25th anniversary was celebrated in 1978 with a two-tone Silver Anniversary Edition and an Indy Pace Car replica edition. It was the first time that a Corvette was used as a Pace Car for the Indianapolis 500. Engines and chassis components were mostly carried over from the C2, but the body and interior were new.

Now, let;s have a look at this item;

The packaging;

Out of the packaging;

From my experience driving the fun Porsche Boxter model 2007, I believe this car is quite fun to drive as well. I would love to own this car but then it is only a "dream talk" - it can be pricey plus this model is usually only available in The Americas region.

It's interesting though that this particular color scheme is the same from another item from Maisto that we reviewed here last year, the 1971 Chevrolet Camaro Z/28;

You can check out that review from the link below;

http://www.shewsbury.com/2011/11/maisto-custom-shop-1971-chevrolet.html

Features of this car includes those wonderful decals and the big number 69 - reminded me of that intercourse position called "The 69" ^__^

And there is a name at the back here = Joe Shack, I don't know who the heck is Joe Shack but just like any other man, I guess he would love to watch porn movies as well ^__^;

The sporty rubber tire design with yellow colored wheels and of coz that "Firestone" label there;

Openable engine hood;

And thus you can view "the engine";

That's how it looks like down there;

Now, let's have a closer look at the interior details;

I think the interior detail is one of the best I've seen so far from Maisto Custom Shop;

And now without doubt, it is one of the best interior detailing I've seen for a 1/64 scale car model... I love every bits of it.... well done, Maisto.

Overall, this is a brilliant 1969 Corvette Coupe (Stingray) from Maisto Custom Shop. I can detect some imperfection of painting finishing on the front side (the engine hood) but apart from that the overall finishing and detailing is highly respectable. I will certainly keep this particular unit as it is and there will be no further customization at all.

Hot Wheels - '69 Mercury Cougar Eliminator

2012-01-10T09:00:00.001+08:00

This is a beautiful customized 1969 Mercury Cougar Eliminator from Hot Wheels. I don't

As some sort of "counter attack" from rivals like Camaro Z28 and the SS Camaro and in fact Ford's own "Boss 302" and Mach 1 Mustangs, Ford introduced the Eliminator in April 1969 with variety of options available to attract the attention of the possible buyer/owner.

From the very moment I look at the car, without any hesitation I say this is damn nice!!! and so I grabbed it....

The packaging;

Out of the packaging;

Features of this particular item are those lovely Cranston Fire Engine decals and "fire" color scheme;

Rear spoiler;

Oh well, that's about it.... this particular model is all about pleasing the eyes...

Overall, this is a beautiful classic Mercury Cougar Eliminator at 1/64 scale from Hot Wheels. The finishing for this particular unit is brilliant, I'm lucky I guess. However, even though I don't deny that the color scheme is beautiful but I tend to dislike it and thus I decided to do some work to make this car look typical old fashion and simple....

And this is the result;

Just a personal taste of mine... you may or may not like it... I don't care LOL.... it's my car...

Maisto Custom Shop - 1970 Dodge Challenger R/T

2012-01-09T14:36:00.007+08:00

I got this Christmas gift from a good friend of mine - Double H they call him - so nice of him and I happen to like this car and the color scheme as well.

This is Maisto Custom Shop - 1970 Dodge Challenger R/T.

This is from the first generation - 1970. The Challenger was described as Dodge's "answer to the Mustang and Camaro."

It was one of two Chrysler E-body cars, the other being the slightly smaller Plymouth Barracuda. "Both the Challenger and Barracuda were available in a staggering number of trim and option levels" and were intended "to compete against cars like the Chevrolet Camaro and Ford Mustang, and to do it while offering virtually every engine in Chrysler's inventory.

Nonetheless, let's have a look at this car model;

The packaging;

Out of the packaging;

Features of this cars includes those rubber tires with Firestone logo on it;

Openable engine hood;

And thus you can view the engine;

That's how it looks like down there;

And now, let's have a look at the interior;

The interior is oretty neat and simple, not much to brag about but I like it...

Overall, this is a beautiful 1/64 scale model of 1970 Dodge Challenger R/T in an old school orange color. The finishing is quite good and I'm quite happy with it. This is one of those that I will keep in original color - no customization what so ever. Thanks to Double H for this wonderful Christmas gift.

Android Mini Collectible - Standard Edition

2012-01-08T09:00:00.001+08:00

This is a collectibles figure of the popular Android OS that slowly penetrate the mobile devices and gadgets since 2010 and slowly keep on growing especially within the smart mobile phones world.

Being a loyal Google customer for several years now and an Android user for several months now, I've been wanting to get this figure for quite some times now but I just don't know where the hell to get it and that is when finally a friend of mine B-Mecha or locally known as "Basir Musa" suddenly out of the blue offered me this Android because he happens to have several units extra - he got it from some popular Asian-based online shop.

Nonetheless, let's have a look at this Android..... first the box;

Designed in New York but made in China ^__^

Out of the box;

And out of that plastic wrapper;

This is just a simple figure with absolute minimal features and articulation;

However, you don't buy this item for features or articulation.... this green robot is a popular icon, a must have for Android fans;

The arms can move a bit and the head can turn 360 degrees and that's about it... nothing more, nothing less....

The other citizens of Shewsbury Land are more than happy to get new "android" friend;

A group family photo together for memory ^__^;

Overall, this is a simple figure as the main icon of the iconic Android OS. The price is quite decent (depending on from where and who you bought it), it doesn't promise any wonder of the world or unexpected sexual excitement but for what is worth, it's nice to see and nice to have - especially for Android OS fans. Apparently, they are plentiful of other design and color variations of this Android but many people doesn't seems to be interested with the others, maybe they are some who did but not many - in fact many people prefer this original green colored one.... I personally don't fancy green color except for certain few items and this green Android is one of the items I don't mind (and in fact I love it) to be in green color.

With the leadership of Google, I hope Android OS will grew and mature further in the near future so that many people can get the benefits of it's exciting features and technologies at affordable price coz not everybody can afford some premium OS provided by certain companies who seems to be doing well with their premium items and premium market share and start suing and screwing their competitors coz they believed that they invent everything.

Hot Wheels Garage - '63 Plymouth Belvedere 426 Max Wedge

2012-01-07T14:01:00.008+08:00

To start this 2012, the first review of the year is this magnificent red car from Hot Wheels Garage series - the 1963 Plymouth Belvedere 426 Max Wedge.

Now I don't know much about this particular car but from what I read in Wikipedia, this model seems to be from the 3rd Generation series (1962-1963) or so I guess, I'm a bit confused as well as Wikipedia also mentioned that the 1964 Belvedere (and corresponding Fury hardtop coupes) featured a new "slant-back" roofline that proved to be popular, and sales improved significantly over '62 and '63.

The 1964 Belvedere is also notable for being the car used to introduce the 426 Chrysler Hemi engine, which used a canted large-valve arrangement. This was such a significant high-RPM breathing improvement that Hemi-equipped Plymouth Belvederes won 1st, 2nd, and 3rd at NASCAR's 1964 Daytona race.

This particular 1/64 scale car have that "426" number on it so is it possible that this is actually the 1964 model? Oh well, what ever, I'm not an expert but this car looks cool and I love it....

1 thing for sure, when I first look at this car, the red color mesmerized me and the design is quite cool and that should be enough to make me want it...

The packaging;

The price in here for this particular "Hot Wheels Garage" series is an ugly $10.90 (about USD 8.50 / 649 yen). When one can get those Maisto cars with openable engine hoods and all other great features, certainly this seems to be expensive - but then again, no choice for me, I want it, Maisto don't have it... so just grab it!!!!

Out of the packaging;

The painting and the finishing is quite brilliant - at least makes me feel a little happy after paying the price :-(

This car features brilliant detailing, decals and marking for a 1/64 scale car...

The Plymouth name on the front there;

The "Belvedere" name in the side;

I don't know what logo or emblem is this, but it looks cool ^__^

Again the Plymouth name on the rear;

Unlike those standard priced Hot Wheels, models from this "Garage" series comes with rubber tires;

The interior is decently detailed with all red color scheme;

I don't really mind about the all red color scheme for the interior but I would prefer if the dashboard and steering wheel at least comes with black or dark color;

Overall, this is a fantastic red Plymouth Belvedere 426 Max Wedge (what ever that name means) from Hot Wheels. Although it's a bit pricey but at the end I'm quite happy with the great painting and finishing. The only other that thing I don't fancy so much is the all red interior color scheme but it is not that bad actually. As far a 1/64 scale die cast car model goes, this is certainly beautiful and I like it a lot - certainly this will not be customized at all and shall remain as it is originally.

2012 - The Dragon Year

2012-01-06T14:06:00.004+08:00

Hello my fellow Shewsburians, my fellow blogging friends, my fellow toy and figures collectors, my loyal or frequent or once in a blue moon readers as well as the new visitors, readers and followers of Shewsbury Land and all my friends out there, once again, I would like to wished you all a Happy New Year 2012, I hope that you are all in good and happy situation where ever you are.

2012 finally come, for some folks, it's just another year while for some others, this could be the beginning of something new in life, for Shewsbury Land however, this year will be the deciding year if we want to continue further or not with the internet existence of Shewsbury Land - make or break.

Though I eventually have no financial interest what so ever from running Shewsbury Land as it is purely a platform for me to share and to express my view on certain things that I like, but I certainly do care about the direction of Shewsbury Land and where it will go next? I always ask that question to my self.

I've been handling this blog for 5 years now since August 2006, though back then in the old days I used to blog about my personal life and my friends around me (all those contents have been deleted though ^__^ ) but slowly in 2008 my interest with figures and toys suddenly re-ignited again and it's all started with those Gundams and then action figures and then cars and so on while along the way I also manage to produce things like "digirama" or "comic strip" or what ever you would like to call it.

I've met many friends, online and offline, thru Shewsbury Land and for that I am so thankful to it. I also witness a few bloggers friends where their blogs is slowly "dying" - first with lack of update for many months and then eventually when someday I visited their blog again, it's gone - for what ever reasons they might have - lost interest, change of hobby, too busy with other important things in life like family, works, study etc. - but the bottom line is, they are gone.

And thus sometimes, such scenario also made me think about the future of Shewsbury Land. I fully aware that for me to keep on going, the passion have to be there. So far, my passion for toys and figures is still there but as a typical "Gemini" - I tend to get bored with something and always hunger for new adventure. I think in the past few years, Shewsbury Land is steadily become a consistent toys and figures review blog - one out of many more out there. I knew for sure that Shewsbury Land may not be the best when it comes to toys and figure reviews but I also fully aware that we are not the worst either. We consistently produce lot's of original contents, some of you like it, some of you don't but no matter what others said about Shewsbury Land, but so far, we just keep on going.

I knew that some of my readers, including my friends does not like my approach of "pro-sexual thingy" or some would say "pervertism" but then again at least that's the way Shewsbury Land is trying to be different from any other typical toys, figures and hobby blogs or website out there.

We never bother to target those young and sinless kids and we never bother about those adults who claimed to have high moral values either. Internet is free and open to all and thus we believe people have the right to see and read and decide if they like it or not. Simple as that.

Shewsbury Land are in the world and standard of their own - maybe it's not really for kids but should be decent for adults and mature audience who love to have fun. I have enough of those nonsense rules and regulations and restrictions here and there... Shewsbury Land should be a platform to express our creative fun idea about toys, figures, hobby and other wonderful stuff in life... Like it or loathe it, this is the way we want it to be....

Remember those "Vanity of Vanities" quotes from the anime "Gensomaden Saiyuki";

"Kill Buddha as you meet him...Kill the Father as you meet him... Never be captivated by anyone, just live as yourself the way you are" - Gensomaden Saiyuki.

Obviously we do not want to kill anybody but the point is - "live as yourself the way you are" - simple as that - thus Shewsbury Land should exist the way as it should be.

I'm not sure my self if this will be the final year or should we continue forever, one thing for sure at this point of time is that I still have the interest and will continue as usual till when someday the day come for me to retired for good.

Thank you to all readers and visitors who frequently come and visit Shewsbury Land especially those who willing to take their time to leave some nice comments and feedback. I knew that many of readers, visitors and friends are too busy or too lazy to leave any comments but we are OK with that coz at least they come frequently.

To those who dislike us or think that Shewsbury Land is a bad blog for toys and figures review, then don't bother to leave comment coz I will say to you "Go fuck your self", there are thousands of other excellent review blogs out there, good luck in finding the best in accordance to your need and go fuck yourself.... LOL....

And below is still one of my favorite quotes of all time LOL;

"I did not have sexual relations with that woman, Miss Lewinsky. I never told anybody to lie, not a single time; never..."

You know who said that right? ^__^

Kamen Rider Fourze FMCS 03 Fire States

2011-12-22T16:04:00.010+08:00

When Larry Kong asked President Bill what he would be if he is not a president at that time, Clinton said; "I wanna be a Kamen Rider, with red color suit...."

And then Larry Kong asked him again - "why is that?" (as if Larry have any clue what the heck is Kamen Rider anyway)

So Bill said; "Oh well, red color reminded me of gorgeous lady wearing nothing but red bra and red panties...."

Larry Kong then quickly called for the commercial - "We'll be back, right after this...."

LOL... not sure if any of you would believe that nonsense anyway....

Nonetheless, forget the adulterous former President Bill.... no matter what, I think he is cool anyway and he is one of my heroes LOL... let's now proceed with this review of "Kamen Rider Fourze FMCS 03 Fire States" action figures produced by Bandai.

This is Kamen Rider Fourze's red-colored form accessed by the Fire Switch at full power.

In Fire States, Kamen Rider Fourze wields the Hee-Hackgun, which has both fire- and water-based attacks. Kamen Rider Fourze can can also absorb all fire based attacks while in Fire States into the Fire Switch, giving it more power and allowing it to release all of its stored power during its Limit Break. The ability to absorb fire was brought out due to Gentaro's attempt to befriend Tomoko and accept her qualities. He also has an unnamed Limit Break in conjunction with the Launcher and Gatling Switches where he fires a barrage of fire, missiles, and bullets

The box;

Out of the box;

And now the action figure;

As you can see above, it's typical of these gimmick action figure from Bandai however those from this particular series (Fourze) seems to have the best eye detailing if compared to the others series like FFR, WFC and OCC.

Articulation is excellent, the usual kneeling pose is not a problem;

Again, some close up look on the detailing and design of the figure;

And now let's have a look at the weapons... first this "Hee-Hackgun" designed by Melvin Hee Kok Wing and Hacken Lee;

The next stuff is this lovely white shield;

This feel so "Gundamish"......

The next cool stuff is this Beat Module - some sort of speaker crying out loud noise of people having sex or R&B and Hip Hop music that can make you loose concentration;

Many believed that it's a Sony brand speaker though some also claimed it is Altec Lansing brand LOL.....

And lastly this Gatling Module - basically a gatling gun;

According to Miyamoto Musashi, this gatling gun can shoot 10 rounds per second. The bullets have enough power to pierce into concrete..... imagine if you have such great results of face cum shots.... LOL....

And that's about it.... but seriously, for me personally, all these weapon combination is kind of "Gundamish".... in other words, it reminded me of a customized Gundam of some sort - at least in my imagination....

Overall, I think this is another exciting action figure for Kamen Rider Fourze. The weapons, apart from the speaker is wonderful..... why would you carry such a big speaker nowadays when you can just buy a smaller miniature size.... LOL

Most of all... I love the color red coz it reminded me of pretty lady with red bikini.... very good for erection.... LOL

Hot Wheels - Custom '77 Dodge Van

2011-12-21T14:03:00.012+08:00

I'm not quite sure what the heck is the actual model name for this van but from my little research thru Google and Wikipedia, my guess is that this is one of those Doddge Ram Van made by the Chrysler Corporation, model 1977.

For sure, this is a very nice van to have sex inside it LOL... if you love to "screw around" in your vehicle, this is one to consider..... I'm thinking of former President Bill Clinton... LOL...

Some serial rapist and sex offenders also would love this kind of van, it has power, speed and space.... LOL

So, let's start the review;

The packaging;

And now, out of the packaging;

Feature wise, not much I can say apart from what you already saw... first those gold colored front grills...

Chromy gold colored wheels;

And those "fire-like" decals...

And as a bonus, you can see the interior easily thru the roof top;

And of course, we take a step further and analyze the interior further;

And that's about it...

Overall, I think this is a very nice Dodge Van at miniature size, nice painting finishing with exciting color scheme and visible interior. I don't like those fire-like decals, hate it in fact as I prefer something plain simple and I dont really fancy with too many gold color scheme on this the "metal" parts of this van either. The good thing is, I can always customized this van in accordance to my personal taste and preferences, so no big deal. I would prefer to call this as the "Dodgy Sexy Van" instead LOL...

And to make the dream comes true... I decided to customized this van and now this is it - "1977 Dodge Van Shewsbury Custom - The Dodgy Sexy Van" - enter at your own risk....LOL...

Apart from the main color scheme changes, the only other thing I did is transform the interior to be in all black color... I think it looks more realistic than the original light color:

That is all folks.... to all pretty ladies out there, come have a ride in our "Dodgy Sexy Van" - you will experience fantastic orgasm repeatedly LOL ^___^

MASK - Brad Turner and Condor

2011-12-20T15:30:00.013+08:00

I was browsing around for some so called vintage toys and suddenly I found an online shop offering some decent amount of collectibles toys from the 80's era and the rest is history....

However, this online shop is from America (US of A) and eventually, apart from Amazon, I never really bought anything direct from America and thus I'm bit concern on how long the shipment will take. I don't like to wait forever, if I want something, I want it quick and I want it fast thus I'm willing to pay premium price for the shipment if needed.

These are the cost of purchase for these all these items;

MASK Kenner 1985 Bruce Sato = $5.59
MASK Kenner 1985 Condor = $13.59
MASK Kenner 1986 Miles Mayhem = $5.59

Subtotal = $24.77
Shipping = $27.75
Handling = $1.50

Order Total = $54.02

The above are in US Dollar of course, you can do the math in your own currency or you can just visit www.xe.com to use their currency converter.

So this is the Condor, basically the green bike and the figure with mask, basically he is one of the guy in the heroes team;

And the guy in white is Bruce Sato while the one in blue is Miles Mayhem, the villain's big boss in the series;

About the price, not sure if it's expensive or cheap, but in my opinion, the price is indeed cheap for such vintage toys because in here this will be sold at a terrible marked up price, absolute nonsense price.

I've seen lot's of ridiculous price marked up here locally especially those Hot Wheels. It's amazing that some of the guys calling themselves the pioneer of certain toys club in here but at the same time they are also the big shark and crocodile slaying the new comers of the hobbies.

Looking at them selling a standard items for double and some even goes up to triples the original price is really a pity, I feel sorry for those who bought it. This is totally profit maker opportunist rather than anything else.

I understand that people want to make profit but sometimes it's way just too much. Furthermore, they made "a club" for their hobbies encouraging many new collectors to joined them but what kind of "encouragement" is that when all they did are making good money for themselves? If I were to create such club, I will choose to help spread the hobby in a more fashionable manners rather than being profit orientated only.

However, this kind of thing happen anyway including in those open online market like E-Bay. SO not much we can say or do, but if it's me, I will just look at them silently and reserve my own opinion - surely I don't buy. I rather use my money for something else...

Nonetheless... let's get back to the review... first we will have a look at this Bruce Sato figure;

He is the heroes team technology specialist, something like mechanical engineer and design specialist - a genius guy in a way. He love to talks in metaphor or riddles that, for the most part, only Matt Tracker could understand and this made him like almost a "Master Yoda". He is married and have a few kids. In his normal life, he worked as toy designer.

Articulation wise, this is all you get, at that time in the 1985 this is indeed awesome!!!!!

And this is his mask;

The mask is more than just a helmet, head and face protector - eventually if they wear the mask, they can get some sort of other abilities like jumping and floating up high on the air or maybe they can lift up some heavy stuff without the need to use their hands.... something like "magic stuff"

Almost each characters in the MASK series have their own mask and their respective special abilities.... none of them have the mask that can make you see thru the cloth though ^__^ that would be awesome for a pervert like me LOL....

The next figure is the villain big boss - Mile Mayhem or you can just call him George Bush if you like.... LOL

He look like a typical man from Texas ready to wield his penis aggressively to anyone he don't like and he just don't give a damn.... LOL

Apparently this old man have a twin brother called Max Mayhem....

And now finally... we review the Brad Turner and the green bike called Condor;

First, let's have a look at the figure of Brad Turner;

Brad Turner is a MASK agent by day and a rock n roll guys at night either on stage or tuning his guitar and maybe watching some porn movie LOL. A nice guy but usually the first to question Matt Tracker (the leader of the heroes team) when something is out of the ordinary. Usually wearing a set of dark glasses.

Brad Turner is the kind of cool guy in the 80's, and if he was real, he'd probably be a VJ in MTV "Pimp My Ride" by now LOL. IN the past this figure came with the Condor motorcycle toy, which cost at around USD 5.00 or USD 5.99 something like that and it turned out to be the most popular toys from MASK series coz its cheap.

So now, let's have a look at the motorbike transformation process - from a typical bike into a helicopter (or something like that);

And that's about it.... very cool right? oh well, when I was still kids in the middle and late 1980's this thing is AWESOME!!!!

Overall, I'm pretty happy with this vintage toys I bought from the US of A. The overall condition of the toys is remarkable. I have no complain what so ever and I'm grateful that I can go back to the nostalgic era of those days. Price wise, (minus the shipment charges of coz) is reasonable and I am pretty happy with it. It took within 2 weeks (14 days) before I received the items and I think it's a fair deal.

I might buy something else from that store soon ^__^

end
