Mulder n' Scully revived!

Woohoo! Can't wait for the new series man haha. :p Mulder looks like he's seen one too many pRoN films. :p

DAMToys SPETSNAZ MVD OSN VITYAZ in Chechnya

What a mouthful! DAMToys carries on with their Spetnaz releases, this one looks pretty good. :)

"Vityaz (Russian: Витязь, "Knight") was one of the Soviet and Russian special forces units of the Ministry of Internal Affairs (MVD) within the Independent Operative Purpose Division (ODON) of the Internal Troops (VV). Its full name is 1st Special Purpose Unit of the Internal Forces "Vityaz" (1-й отряд специального назначения внутренних войск «Витязь».) It was assigned specifically to counter-terrorism duties, but was trained to deal with civil unrest, prison rebellions and mutinies of regular army units."

Somehow i always think of MGS when i see soldiers in Balaclavas. :p

DAMToys 26th Marine Expeditionary Unit - Ltd Ed.

So DAMToys has this as their limited edition figure for their toy show, too bad it wasn't at STGCC. It looks like a rehash of their previous MEU figure?

Welcome to Silent Hill...

Yeah, it's literally been like that these past two days, after having a sorta clear weekend... i guess the winds changed direction again. Well, hopefully this will be over by the end of the month, kinda forgot what a clear sky looks like haha!

Pluto

Beautiful

New Macross Series! Macross Delta

Prepare for a new onslaught of merchandise! I wonder what the new valks will look like though. :p

Upcoming Transformers Masterpiece toys!

Holee! Didn't expect them to make this, but other than a new Hot Rod, looks like Takatomy is going to make a Shockwave MP figure! Awesome. :)

Hot Toys Maria Hill Final Product

So, the figure has been released... the face looks... off somehow? Compared to the initial release pics. Of course, once it goes into mass production it'll lose the artist's personal touch. Some figures fare worse than others. Still, not THAT bad, but for that price....

Top is the teaser images, and the bottom the retail version... the retail HS seems.. flat? Lifeless? Could be the photography tho.

One can dream...

If only! Hahaha! It's not called morpheus anymore sadly... Just VR. :(

True story dat

So i was sneaking around in MGS V, the South Africa map to be exact. (Well, actually crawling) and came across a familiar tune coming from one of the huts.... why, it was True by Spandau Ballet! Kinda surreal hearing that in game, and of course, i swiped the tape hehe. Another point for Kojima on this. :p

Hot Toys Force Awakens Snowtroopers

Available in single and double packs! :p

More Sahelanthropus!

Ohhh, so it's a Kotobukiya kit! Not bad! Their REX kit wasn't too bad either. Gotta admit this one is rather intimidating in game.. the portion when it starts chasing you.. oh gawd... spine chilling and nerver wracking! 0_o; I guess ThreeA will release this too in toy form eventually. :p

Snake?

So there's a plethora of MGS V products out suddenly ( although i'm looking more to what HT can offer!). Here's a fixed pose statue of Venom/Punished/Whatever snake is being called now... comes with the chicken hat too! You can activate the chicken hat in game, but i think it penalises your overall rating?

DiD SAS 1/6 Figure

Took this at the recently ended STGCC, tucked away amongst other figures but i thought it'd get more coverage cos it looked pretty darn cool :)

Metal Gear : Sahelanthropus

What a long name! There's a meaning for it though. But like a lot of other people, i find the 'older' gears seem more advanced than the supposed newer gears in the timeline haha. :p Not sure who's making this model tho! Could be either Kotobukiya or 3A making it. :P

STGCC 2015 - Part 1

So it's that time of year again! Everytime STGCC comes around, it's time to begin winding down for the year haha! This years exhibition was pretty reminiscent of last years in terms of exhibitors; the usual suspects were there, Falcons, Bandai and the usual shops. Some of those there last year are missing tho' like Uplay, so no Soldier Story Exclusive STGCC figure this round! The highlight would be Hot Toys booth again i guess? Under the Action City banner... booth is smaller tho, they did bring in the TIE fighter, but not 1/6 scale Millenium Falcon though, bummer.

WTH Disney

So found out recently that Disney has blocked the sale of Bandai Star Wars Products to countries outside of Japan.. that's really f'ed up i feel. I do believe a significant portion of sales do goes out of Japan, and that is a reason for Bandai to develop new kits for Star Wars in the first place.

There are some rumors that Revell had something to do with it but they say it ain't so :

https://www.facebook.com/Revell/posts/1016212158424219

Don't understand why when there's more opportunity for them to make more moolah. :(

Transformers MP-14C Clampdown

Wut? Another repaint? Man, takatomy sure knows how to milk the molds! Luckily they're actually based off actual designs previously... :)

Sept 11... 14 years on

Wow, has it been that long? Other than today also being polling day here, the september 11 "attacks" is also probably another important day to remember, starting off a chain of events that have changed the world to this day.

Also... Its been 14 years since i started working haha! Time sure flies. ;)

Hot Toys STGCC exclusives

Oh Hot Toys, in the wake of the cool TFA figures, why do you bring forth such an abomination? Not being canon is one thing, the color.. Omg my eyes! 0_o

Return to CSC

Wow, its been ages since i last went csc to jalan jalan, met up to collect some stuff from a friend. Place is a shadow of its former self; soooo many shops are now closed, i guess the landlord's not interested in having so many toy shops around now.

Well, had to test out the place again so i went to THAT guy in the corner (you know who i'm speaking about right buddy?) somehow he's still there selling stuff. So i just asked about the price of a HT figure... And got his most amazingly condescending reply/look... How he manages to sell stuff still is beyond me. :p

Hot Toys TFA Stormtroopers

Of course HT will  make Stormtrooper figs from TFA! :p So far looks like three versions; the basic trooper, a TRU exclusive one with pauldron, and a twin pack with a heavy weapons version..... but can they hit anything? :)

Happy Force Friday!

So many new Star Wars toys announced haha! I think there was a launch at midnight here at TRU too.. Wow. The coolest toy must be the mini BB-8, so cute!:p

HT First Order Stormtrooper!

Not unexpected but still pretty cool! I guess this will be the stormtrooper of this generation. Call me an old fogey, i still prefer the old design, its way ahead of its time!

2015 Live Fire Excercise

Yes, it's a slow day... looks great at 60fps too! :)

DAMToys Special Duties Unit - Assault Team

Incoming from DAMToys! Pretty awesome how the figures look nowadays, they've definitely overtaken Soldierstory as the premium 1/6 figure maker... But in general there seems to be lesser stuff out? And it's getting more expensive too....

MGS V Collector's Edition unboxing!

Sooo.. Picked this up yesterday at Funz, was almost not released cos MDA was taking their time... Then again, maybe the submission was late.. :p

Anyway, the box LOOKS nice with that faux leather look with the yellow stitches...actually its just printed. The metal diamond dog keychain is pasted on the outside and looks well made.

The box itself kinda splits open to reveal.. THE HAND. Under that sits the game itself and a steelcase with a special edition video or whatnot. The DLC codes and map are in the game disc itself.

Other than that... Nothing much really? The hand is cool and all though, would make a nice desktop display haha!
