Photo Review - 1/6th Design Chair

Got this from Comics Connection. It is made in China, and costs only S$2.50. I am not sure if the cashier punched in the correct code, as he was checking with other stores. I thought it might ring up something around S$10.
I picked this up because I need to compete with shaun, who bought a folding chair.

Package

Ignore the Re-ment on the left.

Contents

The legs are made of stainless steel, and comes with plastic/rubber covers at each end.

Haul of the Day

Transformers Universe

Picked up Classic Ironhide after checking with shaun if it will be released in later waves. Turns out it will not be, so better get them while you can (besides the Henkei version).

Star Wars Chubby

So cute. Got the Leia, Trooper and Ewok version.

Re-ment and misc

Picked up a randow Re-ment Airline Food and 1/6th designer chair.

Haul of the Day - Custom SIC/RAH Heads

Let there be light !

Thanks to the tip off from marcus, managed to get some cool custom light-up SIC and a Medicom 1/6 RAH heads for a fraction of the original retail cost. Also bought the loose G4 body (without the head) from SIC vol 39.

Haul of the Day

Medicom RAH

Ultraman Type C renewal version and Ace finally comes in !

Transformers Henkei

The guys at Falcon once again pull through and got me this clear version of Henkei Convoy, an Tokyo Toy Show 2008 exclusive.

Haul of the Day

Medicom RAH


Had to get this figure because someone backed out due to too many purchases these few months, and also after seeing a preview at the local toy event STCC 2008.

Haul of the Day

Medicom RAH

Mail away The Next Shocker. Now if only I have the money to buy 6 of these figures, that would be cool.

SIC

Vol 42.

Spider-Man Trilogy

Got another Venom, this time with a better paint job.

Be@rbrick

Full set of 16 70% be@rbrick, from Medicom Star Wars Be@rbrick x Pepsi Nex promotion.

Gundam Mobile Suit In Action

Been quite some time since I bought anything related to Gundam. Had been eying this odd figure for sometime.

Ultraman

Also had given up on Ultraman merchandise for quite a while, except for the Medicom RAH figures. But could not resist this craft from Ultraman Max series.

Upcoming Medicom RAH - Chun Li

More pictures from Amiami.

Upcoming Medicom 1/6th RAH

At the recent Tokyo Toy Show 2008 (Jun 19-22), Medicom showcased their products for the next one and a half years, and it looked like a fantastic year for Medicom, and a bad one for collector$.

Here are some of the 1/6th products that have me sold.

Ultraman

Ultraman Father ! The figure was announced when Ultraman Taro was announced. It seems that Ultraman Father will be a mailaway, using the coupon that comes with Taro. Please give him his cape and that hour glass thing.

Ultraman Leo

I have never seen an episode of Leo, since it was never shown locally. But I liked the design of Leo. And better still, he comes with his Ultra nanchucks !

Medicom continues with great offerings from this line. And it is about time. They focused so much on Kamen Rider, and it is great to see more figures. It might be Bandai holding them back, but it does not matter now. From the looks of it, they would be releasing all the Ultraman brothers, and the rest. The only problem with this line is accessories. Give them some please !

And I hope Medicom will reissue Ultraman Zoffy and Imit Ultraman in the future. The prices on these figures are going crazy over eBay.

Star Wars

Seriously, do we need more Clones ? Why not ? They are great for milking more money from collectors.


The head sculpt for Han Solo looks great, but not the clothes though. Hope they get improved along the way. And finally, a human sculpt.


Vinyl Collectible Doll series Jawa. The VCD line is not cheap, considering the size of the figures. Hope they will make this cheap and I'll buy half a dozen ! And with such prices, they better give this figure more articulations ! The past offerings like Wicket and Yoda is a disappointment.
Utinni!

Dragonball


When the Dragonball license was announced by Medicom, I was thrilled, but not so thrilled after seeing the Son Goku figure. With more figures like Picolo and Son Gohan announced, I am reconsidering though.

The Dark Knight


Hot one the heels of Hot Toys' TDK announcement, Medicom shows off their version.

Personally, I think they look better than HT. Shaun speculates that the Bruce Wayne would be a mail away, like the Medicom Peter Parker and Clark Kent.

But I would wait and see if TakaraTomy will also jump on the TDK bandwagon. They were the best of the 3 for the Batman Begins figures.

Street Fighter

And lastly, this came as quite a surprise, Street Fighter figures ? Not sure if this is related to the Chun Li (starring Kristin Kruek) movie that is coming out though, or just the 20th anniversary of the video game. And the cool factor is we get the big thigh version !

Start saving up people !!!

Haul of the Weeks

My PC had be behaving erratically these few days, and I have also been busy with work to update this blog. Some hauls over the last week fews. Pictures taken at night, so bear with the quality.

Hottoys 1/6 Nudes

Relaunched Asian and Caucasian nudes, with some Chinese guy and Michael Scofield likeness.

Medicom RAH BM

Mail away Rider 2 from Mask Rider The Next movie.

Kaiyodo Revoltech

Japan shop exclusive Toro.



SIC

Vol 41. So hard to choose a nice piece, so in the end settle for one with a good Rider X, and the other figure with a misaligned flap on the chest. You cannot see it as the picture is poorly taken.

Transformers Movie

I purchased the Hasbro version, only to hear news later that the TakaraTomy version will be slightly different.


Takaratomy's equivalent to Hasbro's Premium BB. Odd that Hasbro has yet to release theirs.

1/6th Accessory

German WWII Stielhandgranate 24 with Case & Pouch Set says the email. I say it looks cool.

Star Wars

And who can get enough of troopers.

Transformers Animated and Exclusives

Scummed to temptation, I broke down and purchased these figures.
Loose animated Blitzwing, Jazz and Soundwave.
Loose Henkei Crystal Convoy (Japan toy show and e-Hobby exclusive) and Classics Nemesis Optimus Prime (SDCC 2008 exclusive).

Haul of Yesterday - 18 May 2008

Forgot to mention got this 1/6th water bottle "gift" from shaun.

Haul of the Day - 06 Apr 2008

Some additional stuff I picked up today.

1/6th

Mononofu series 8 from Ng Collection. Loose pieces were available, but seeing how I would be picking most of the pieces, I decided to buy the whole box, which includes a secret as well.

Brave Revival Legends

Finally found a good price for this piece BR-04, which is a giftset of individually released BR-01,02 and 03. Had to drag this huge piece all the way from Tampines to Yishun. Don't let the picture fool you. This piece is 52cm x 52cm.

Haul of the Day - 29 Mar 2008

Went on a toy hunting trip with shaun and also met up with a cool fellow 1/6th collector/customizer Mizu who came along. She brought a couple of unpainted 1/6th head sculpts that she bought recently. I think she might be a little disappointed when shaun could not recognize any of them. Shame on him.

Marvel Legends and Transformers haul courtesy of shaun.
