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 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.

Haul of the Day
Gundam S.C.M. Ex
Got another one this afternoon during the meetup.
Marvel Legends
Picked up another variant Hydra Soldier. There seems to be an abundant of these so-called variants, and not so abundant of the normal ones. Also took a Jack Kirby Captain America.

Haul from the Sunday Flea Market
Marvel Legends
This boxset was supposedly only available at SDCC 2008, but the local TRU managed to get them, although at S$79.90. I managed to get this piece from a frequent HK seller at only S$50. Box is not the best condition, but with such a price tag, it doesn't really matter. The boxart is done by Frank Cho by the way.
The Spectacular Spider-man Animated
Had been chasing this figure forever, and when I had a chance to get it at Takashimaya, I gave up the opportunity because it was closing time. Luckily I waited and get his from the same HK seller at a cheaper price.
Sky Girls
Only Vincent's shop was selling this series, and I was glad he continued to bring in the second series.
Gundam S.C.M. EX
And "well-articulated" is an understatement. Just do a search on "SCM EX" on the Japanese websites and you get to see the galleries of these Banpresto figures and their amazing articulation. Take it from a guy who loves articulation. It's awesome.
Picked this up from an unusual stall that was selling stuff dolls and other nick-knacks. They had a stack of the recent Gouf and Zaku releases, and Zeta and Hyaku Shiki which (if I am correct) are late last year's release. The recent releases were going for S$10 a piece, while the latter was S$6 and S$8. I hope to find the RX-78 version, which seems to be sold out.

Special Creative Model (S.C.M.) EX is a cool UFO Catcher prize item series featuring well-articulated action figures of Mobile Suits from the "Gundam" universe that come complete with weapons and optional hands!

Haul of the Day
Star Wars
Found these at Suntec Carrefour, during an afterwork shopping trip.
Quite a surprise to find the 2-part helmet Darth Vader. It seemed that someone was trying, not too successful I might add, to hide it among the tons of Clone Wars figures.
Iron Man Movie
And also found this for Marcus.

Haul from eBay
It's been so long since I bid on eBay, since I could get most of the stuff locally, either via the toy shops or the flea market. But I had been on the look out for this Skrull set from the Fantastic Four Classics line since it was released a few years back.
I was always either outbid or missed the closing due to different time zones. And most of the time, the auctions were for each figure, and none for the whole set. I finally found an auction, by luck, from a Hong Kong seller. Was a bit hesitant due to the number of black sheep that were giving HK sellers a bad reputation. I emailed the seller and they were quite friendly. I stakeout the auction, and the rest was history.

Haul of the Day
Picked up for the cute Destroyer Driod. Why can't they have a 2-pack, and stuck us with a JarJar ?
Finally complete my Marvel Legends 2-pack, when forum members alerted to the restock at TRU VivoCity, though I did not see lots of them as what was supposedly reported.
Had to rush down on Friday night after late work.
And while I was there, picked this up as well. Surprisingly find on the shelves.

MTV Movie Awards 2008 - Tropic Thunder Promo
Ben Stiller, Robert Downey Jr and Jack Black doing a sketch for the awards show, promoting their upcoming movie Tropic Thunder. Hilarious, especially the part about Iron Man vs Dark Knight.
Warning: extreme violence at the end of the sketch.

Toy Review - The Incredible Hulk - HULK
Afte watching the movie, I finally took out the Hulk figure that I got from the GSS Takashimaya sale.
(Please bear with the lousy quality of the photos).
Package
Figure
Hulk is a fairly articulated figure, thought not as many as the previous ToyBiz incarnations. But good enough to hold a few decent poses.
Note the ball joints at the shoulder, elbows and knees do not provide a wide range of movement though. I prefer the ToyBiz cut and double joints combination.
This is the most articulated figure in the whole line by the way.
The joints in general are not too tight, but I think I just happen to get one with a fairly loose left hand. This is a disappointed as this is the hand which holds the beam.
The paint on the figure is fairly good though, except for the blue joints on the legs. The Hulk also have a good facial expression.
Accessories
Hulk comes with a break away steel beam. I wish they had given Hulk articulated hands, or at least have both open hands instead of a closed one to hold the beam.
Poses
Scale
It is 6" scale, which is the same height as ToyBiz's Marvel Legends, but out of scale. I hope to get my hands on the TRU exclusive Hulk, which is in scale with Marvel Legends series.
