Haul of the Day
Movie Masters The Dark Knight
Went down to Vivocity to visit a camera shop to redeem some freebies, but went there a bit too late, and they were closed. So decided to pop in the Toys R Us there, and surprised to find another Gotham City Thug with a mask that I do not have. And the cool thing is this is the mask the Joker wore at the Bank heist.
Previous haul.
Transformers Custom
Picked up another cool custom by FansProject, the people who gave us the TFX-01 City Commander. This is a gas/petrol can/container that can transform into a big gun, suitable for Bineltechs/Alternators. It was created for Optimus Prime SRT-10. The Matrix of Leadership fits nicely into the figure.
Macross
And finally haul the 1/60 Destroid Tomahawk back, and surprisingly in a smaller and compact packaging. Thanks to Yamato for being environment friendly by reducing the unnecessary large empty spaces in their previous packaging. I think all other Japanese companies should follow suit.

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 - Mattel Movie Masters TDK Thug
While hunting high and low for the latest Spider-man figures, I came across these 2 Movie Master Gotham City Thug from The Dark Knight movie. Even though I did not find what I was really looking for, I still managed to find something else I was looking for.
The figures are the same, and the only difference is the mask. There are actually 5 versions, and I only managed to find 2 on the shelves.
(Picture from Fwoosh)
Guess I will never find the rest, as these were only available in the first waves if I am not mistaken. They must have been some old stock left behind some storeroom.
Also did not see the Fear Toxin Batman and Unmask Batman chase figures as well.
Anyway, the only minus point about these figures are they do not come with any accessories.

Comic ArtBook Haul of the Day
Stuff I got during the Kinokuniya 20% discount storewide on Deepavali holiday, opened to the public.
I also wanted to pick up Roger Dean's Dragon's Dreams artbook, but was not sure of its contents. After searching through the web, now I will have to wait till the next discount period, possibly in late Dec 08.
- Japanese comic artbook
- Spectrum 15: The Best in Contemporary Fantastic Art
- Transformers: The Ark Vol 2 featuring Japanese Transformer designs
- World War Robot by Ashely Wood

Haul of the Day - Toyman
After checking the internet for reviews of Toyman from Alex Ross's Justice, I eventually got the figure from GnB after an initial hesitation on the articulation. This has to be the most articulated figure from DC.

Haul of the Day
Star Wars
Picked these Clone Wars wave 2 figures from TFH, as I know getting the Clone Troopers from retail will be quite impossible nowadays if you do not have any connections, or at the right place at the right time. And this brings us to the next haul.
Quite surprised to find the latest Legacy waves on the pegs during a morning appointment with a retail store employee. Actually I only found the FX-6 medical droid, among the other figures (sans Clone Troopers) of this wave. The employee asked me if I was looking for any particular figure, and I told him I was looking for Clone Wars Odd Ball. He said he would check the stocks for me, and came back with a Shock Trooper as well. Thanks man !
(Btw, the other figures in the latest Legacy wave was taken by another person.)
Transformers Universe
Even though I had bought the Henkei version, I still bought the Hasbro Silverstreak because shaun keeps telling me something about the shoulder missiles being G1 accurate.
Got Universe Blades (repaint of Live Convoy or Evac) from OG at 20% discount.

Haul of the Day
CM's Master Action Series (MAS)
The wait is finally over. The first set of Blocker Corp Machine Blaster Sundaio and BossPalder has arrived, courtesy of the guys at TFH, who helped me get this from Japan, as well as one for Marcus.
Revoltech
Picked up the latest Revoltech Mouse Generation Street Fighter Online (SFO) He Tie Shou, as well as the regular #62 TengenToppa Gurren Lagann Final Form and #63 Ricky.
Did not pick up Ryu, as I did not quite like the figure. Until it grows on me, it is not on the ToGet list. The Mouse Generation is roughly 3.75" tall (or rather short) by the way.

Haul of the Day
DC MiniMates
Shaun and myself paid a visit in the afternoon to our favourite comic shop GnB hoping to score some MS Hulk, but shipment was only due in the later part of the afternoon or evening. Disappointed, we just looked around (Shaun apparently at something else), so as not to waste the trip, and I eventually picked up this piece. I thought the Green Lantern was quite cool. I would have picked up an Alex Ross ToyMan (from Justice), but not sure of the articulations, I decided not to.
Wall.E
I managed to find the deluxe Eve and also Mo at TRU Forum, at the discounted price of S$14.90. There is still a few more Eve, so those need one head on down !

Haul from Sunshine Plaza
After reading Desmond's post on Sunshine Plaza, I decided to head on there for a look, and the fact it has been ages since I last went there. Also, there was sightings on a Bandai candy toy at one of the shops there prompted my visit.
And this is the damage due to the visit, all from Xenohobby Workz.
(Note for those heading there, they only accept cash.)
The Amazing Spider-Man
Manwolf is quite an old figure from this Spider-man line which I never did really want to pick up when it was first released, as I was not familiar with the character. But after seeing pictures from other collectors, I decide to pick it up, for a good price of S$15 as well.
Final Fantasy VII Play Arts
This version of Yuffie Kisaragi (S$48) is from Final Fantasy VII. There is another version from Final Fantasy: Advent Children movie, which looks a bit plain. But this is where I first saw the character, and that cool looking weapon. It reminds me of Sasuke's weapon from Naruto.
MuGen
This is the Bandai set of candy toys MugenKaiSeiJuu that I was tipped off, but found at the shop instead of another. It is S$2 more than what you will normally get at Comics Connection.

Haul from the Sunday Flea Market
When down to the flea market to pick up another SCM Gundam Zaku, but found that the stall that was selling them had none, even though last week they had at least 3-4 sets left. Also wanted to pick up some 1/6 swords, but the shop was half opened, and did not had the stuff on sale. Bummer. I thought I had wasted a trip down, but after walking for 2 rounds, I managed to snag some cool stuff.
Transformers Universe
This is quite an old 2pack, if I recall, did not appear locally. This is the old Universe line by the way.
Transformers Animated
A surprise find, and a couple of shops were selling them. Got it at S$38, which is a nice deal. Probably it will be S$35 or less when it gets mass released.
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
Last week, only Michelangelo was available, but this week, Leonardo was available as well. So decided to pick both up, at only S$15 a piece.
Stands from Bandai
Found these at Ng's Collection, and reasonably priced. They are from Bandai, and only released recently. Each pack comes with 3 (yes 3, not 1) stands of the same type. Act1 is a simpler set, while Act2 has more variety. Mr Ng showed me that the joints on Act2 actually click, which is good as this will hold the joint in place. These are suitable for SIC, SHFigurat, Revoltech, and anything within the range of 4" to 8".

Star Wars: The Clone Wars
Found these at OG. The super Battle Droid is from the Clone Wars movie, which means Cmd Cody and Clone Pilot from the same movie are also out, but all snapped up. The guy in front of me grabbed the only Ahsoka Tano. The Clone Trooper released with the new waves is a clean version. Will pose a comparison picture later. Also the visor on the backing card is blue instead of black on the new waves.
Wall.E
Finally, these figures are being marked down. The deluxe figures are going for S$14.90. I saw the Interactive Wall.E going for S$49.90, down from the usual S$99.90. Tempting.

Transformers Haul of the Day
Transformers Movie
Walmart exclusives making their rounds locally.
More exclusives (TRU) making their way into the local department stores, this time at Carrefour (surprisingly not at TRU). Mountains of them. Seems to be a dumping ground if you ask me.
More repaints, for the price of a voyager class. I did not pick up the Optimus Prime though.
Tranformers Universe
The Legends class series 2 Hound, Jazz and G2 Megatron looks to be in good scale for the recently released Transformers Encore Metroplex.

Haul of the Day
Iron Man Movie
Stealth Iron Man, another exclusive that was available locally.
The Spectacular Spider-man Animated
Finally got a figure from this series, and a bit of luck when I held off buying any from the first series. Hasbro had added a double-joint knee articulation, instead of the previous series 1 version, which had only a single-joint. Now only if they do one for the red/blue costume, with a Peter Parker head.
Wall.E
After watching the movie, I decided to picked up the more articulated version of the toy. But it seems that the movie is so well received, the merchandise are flying off the shelves, with EVE not to be found anywhere.
