Toy Review - Indiana Jones 4: Mutt Williams

Packaging




Accessories


A paper box, a non-articulated green snake and a knife on the figure's hand.

Figure


The figure is in the 3 3/4" scale, same as the Hasbro Star Wars figures.

Articulation

Since Hasbro uses the same design as their Star Wars figures, you basically get the same set of articulations, which is good enough.

• Ball jointed neck
• Ball joint shoulders
• Ball joint elbow
• Cut wrist
• Cut waist
• T hip
• Ball joint knee
• Ball joint ankle

Haul of the Day

Iron Man Movie

Visit to Alex's House

See details here and here.

Thanks to shaun for organizing it and Alex and Daisy for letting us intrude into their privacy for a day. Your hospitality was priceless. Daisy prepared food for us, and both were busy showing us around and tending to our questions, and opening up pieces to let us have a look. Alex even dressed up for our visit. :)

Haul of the Day

Mattel DC Universe Classics


When everyone thought that Mattel distributor would never again bring in DC SuperHeroes line with some many figures still burning the shelves at department stores (partly due to their greed by rising the price from S$19.90 to S$34.90, and now having to succumb to pressure to reduce back to S$19.90), they managed to sneak in limited cases of DC Universe Classics Series 1. Hopefully they will continue to bring in the rest of the series. It's a bit worrying seeing how many Red Tornadoes whisking about the shelve space, and not taking off though.
Thanks to shaun again for picking these figures up for me.

NECA Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles

Whoohoo ! Finally picked up these figures from the local distributor. Thanks Alex !

Marvel Legends Iron Men

Picked these loose figures (House of M and Young Avengers, no accessories) from the local flea market for S$10 a piece, capitalizing on the current Ironman movie release.

Hasbro Spider-Man 3 Sandman

Picked this up at the same flea market stall, seeing the price of this figure, and since it is still officially unreleased. This figure is similar to the movie BAF Sandman, but without the BAF part and different set of attack hands.

Hasbro Indiana Jones 4

Shia Labeouf making it big time with a major role in Indy4, after Transformers.
Got this figure to go with the Transformer figures.

World's Smallest Transformers

One down, and one more to go to complete the WST Dinobots.

Free Comic Book Day at GnB Comics

Check out what shaun got for me at G & B Comics, which observed free comics book day today.


See his report here.

Re-ment Update

More haul from the yaoya series.

Haul of the Labour Day

Bandai S.H.Figuarts
After months and weeks of hunting and waiting, finally laid my hands on the last set at Ng Collections.




It's sort of an offshoot of the Souchaku Henshin Series (SHS) series, to milk more money from collectors. The difference I can see is the articulation, details and form are much better than SHS, but lacks the weapons. But the recent SHS releases seems to be close to the SHF series as well.

Tomy Tomica Hyper series



Got a good deal, after a further 15% discount. The price is a bit below the original yen price. Must be clearance stock from Japan. Wanted to see if the trailer can be used with other Optimus Prime or Ultra Magnus Transformers figures.


Got these to complement in case cannot go with the Transformers. Alternatively, will pass it to my nephews.

Let's Get it On !

This is what happens when you have too much time on your hands.

Haul of the Week

Stuff I got during a weekend over at Malaysia.

The Batman

Not sure who is this character, because I missed out most of the episodes after season 1.

Marvel Legends Spider-Man Movie BAF

The only figure I wanted from this series was Venom, but the TRU only had these 2, a normal (rehash) super articulated Spider-man from the second movie, (re-hash) Doc Ock with bendy arms from the second movie and a black Spider-man package. Yes, package. The figure was missing. This series never made it to retail locally.

Last Order comic #9 exclusive Gally

My instincts told me that I should be able to find this figure at Kinokuniya, and I was right. Attempts to get this figure from Japan via the usual channels and the local Kinokuniya turned out in vain.

Malaysia boleh !!

Ryukendo

I just love monkeys. This is a repaint and retool figure of the previous one, with added chromed parts.

Transformers Movie



Got these magnet heads. I have yet to determine if these are 1/6th scale.
If they fit, might just kitbash something.


Thanks to my sister, who helped me secure these 2 pieces from Metro.



Transformers Henkei

Kudos to TakaraTomy to give us a purple Astrotrain, as opposed to the white version from Hasbro. Checkout pictures here by shaun.

Ben 10

Battle pose Ghost Freak. This figure is better than the first one.

Revoltech

The Kuro comes with new facial expressions.

Comics

Thing vs Hulk with art by Jae Lee (cheap sale !), and 30 Days of Nights: Beyond Barrow with art by Bill Sienkiewicz.

Haul of the Week

Transformers

The above is a UK Chevy exclusive, which TFH managed to secure for local collectors. Way to go guys !


Got his movie Legends 2-pack mainly for Scorponok.

Machine Robo Mugenbine

These are really cheap, but the downside is they are from HK Bandai, which has major lapse in the quality department.

Revoltech Fraulein

Possibly my last figure for this line. The rest announced so far are not enticing.

Ultraman

Whenever I drop by Ng Collection, there will always be something (else) there to pick up, besides stuff I already have in mind to get.

Re-ment

Highlighted are the stuff I got. The retailer had actually opened all boxes and labeled each with a sticker to denote the contents so you will know what you will be getting. These originally came as blind boxes. But by the time I picked them up, the good ones are already gone.


Out of the box contents.
I am a fan of Re-ment. These miniatures are very nicely done. Sadly they are not 1/6th scale.

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.

Picture of the Day

Run Spidey Run !

Music Recommendation - Naruto Shippuuden New Opening/Ending

End of the last story arc, and start of a new one comes with a new opening and ending.

Opening - Blue Bird


Ending - Surface
