Comics Recently Borrowed - Transformers Spotlight KUP

I was visiting my sister and her kids, and Konrad, the eldest son showed me what he had borrowed recently from the library - a couple of Transformers Spotlight comics from IDW publishing - Ultra Magnus, Soundwave, Hot Rod, Kup, Sixshot and Nighbeat.

What caught my attention was the artwork on Kup - rough, sketchy and stylized - something that I liked. So I told him once he is finished with the book, to lend it to me and I will return for him. Now I will need to buy this comic.

He was the one who actually got me back to the library, and I am also glad I have made him a Transformer fan. I am still looking for a reasonably priced G1 Sixshot.

More Gifts

My nephews got me these (in exchange for borrowing and playing with my toys). Haha.

Gifts

My colleague just got back from 2 weeks in Australia, and this is what she got for me.


How quaint.

And my lovely niece got me this.

Plug - Omnitrixland

Please do checkout my newphew's blog at http://omnitrixland.blog.com/. He is a big fan of Ben10, the animated show, that is currently showing on the local cable's Cartoon Network.

Though not as good as Justice League or Nickelodeon's Spongebob SquarePants or Avatar: Legend of Aang, it is nonetheless one of the better shows out there. There is also variety in the show, with new developments on the omnitrix. Do check it out if you can. I am beginning to get hooked as well.

Haul of the Week - 13 May 2007

Marvel SuperHero Squad - cute little super-deformed characters from the Marvel universe. The Fantastic Four is the latest series, while the Avengers is from an older series. S$10 each from local Toys R Us.


Thanks to my nephew for picking these up at the local department store. He's a great kid, and being a good uncle does payoff (I think I have to get him the Ben10 action figures). The Batman Shadowtek Man-bat (a repaint) and DC Superheroes Black SuperGirl.

Batman vs Pokemon

The sister usually bring her boys over the weekends when they have the time or in the neighbourhood to catch up with the family.
I was fiddling with TheBatman animated figure, trying to see if there was any way to make the cape cover the figure in those cool comic poses. Not much success with this one.

But after some effort, I thought this is nice, although the cape was too short. By the way, the cape is held behind by a pin.

And the boys, being the boys they are, also wanted a piece of the action. So they lined up the toys they had brought along and requested for a photoshot.

They are mostly Pokemon figures from those gashapon machines, with a rubber snake and Rockman figure thrown in for the fun of it.
