Too close for comfort!

So like, Dragon is producing a Army Supply solider called Bastian, which is apparently modeled after some soccer player from Manchester United.. who doesn't take it lightly being associated with the Nazi's haha.. so now he's suing the company... i wonder if it'll go through... and the figure will probably be delayed too. :p

"According to TZ, WWII Germany Army Supply Duty Bastian sells for about €108 and has multiple outfits and accessories. But a spokesman for the toy company claims that the figure wasn’t based on the World Cup winning Man United player and is instead just a “typical German.” He added: “We believe all Germans look alike.”"

Ouch.

More here!

Fallout 4!

Well, still playing MGS V, slightly over 50% in completion now, but its still fun. :) But we should be getting some good games in time for the end of the year! Looking forward to Fallout 4, which is supposed to be released on Nov 10, that's like, 3 weeks away? Also, Battlefront is out on Nov 17.. so close.. but still thinking if i should get it.                                                                                                  
Another game that seems under the radar is Just Cause 3! Woohoo! That's on the 1st of Dec... Too bad no more of that Singapore lady... "Scorpionnnnn". :P

Haiz, too many games, not enough time! :(

Star Wars Battlefront Impressions

I guess most people would have already tried the Beta for Battlefront by now? They've even extended the Beta for more people to test it out.

The interface so far seems pretty slick; clean and not complicated like that 'other' game. :p (coughBFcough). The matchmaking was pretty seamless, didn't take more than a minute to set up the match. Right now there are only two modes for multiplayer in the Beta, Drop Zone and Walker Assault.

Drop Zone is a 8v8 match with a time limit, and the objective is to capture a set number of pods before time runs out. Walker Assault is a 20v20 match, kinda like a large scale capture the flag. The rebel side is Walker Assault has to activate 2 relays and hold them so that Y-wings can come in to disable the shields on the AT-ATs.... why the rebels can't just call in an airstrike is beyond me... maybe they have no budget, and had to build the comms relays OUTSIDE the base? :p

Anyway, only when the shields have been disabled, can you start heaping damage on the walkers... at this point you realise quite a bit of coordination is needed, as it is the vehicles that can do the most damage to the walkers, and these power ups are kinda hard to come by.

Overall, the graphics are nice, it's a waste though there's no single player campaign for this though (the single player survival mode doesn't count). Gameplay is ok i guess? Like a simplified BF, but that's what the Battlefront series has been like all along anyway. Will i get this game? Ummm.. hard to say at this point. 50/50 chance...

48 inch Darth Vader figure

They're getting bigger i tell ya! I like this promo pic... kid looks like he got stabbed there by Vader. :p

Star Wars Battlefront Preload!

Sooo... news out there says the beta is actually not too bad? Hmmmm... ok, so i actually fired up Origin (haven't done that in ages) and downloaded it for the PC... over 10GB man. Well, it goes live on the 9th at 1pm US time? So may get some playtime... if the servers don't crash haha! :p

I'll skip the prerequisite EA/Battlefield related jokes about the game here... although i think the preorder stuff kinda sucks bad. :(


Star Wars Black Series - Han Solo (TFA)

Nice likeness for ol' Han! Man, there's a deluge of TFA stuff out in the stores now... guess it's good to build up momentum for interest in the movie.. couple of weeks more! :P

DAMToys SR71 pilot - CICF 2015

Recently shown by DAMtoys at the China toy expo! Pretty unexpected, but very unique! This is the David Clark S1030 suit, interesting read here! Damn it looks uncomfortable. :p



Transformers Masterpiece MP-28 Hot Rod new pics!

Colored pics for Hot Rod! Ummm.. strange decision since the Rodimus prime figure could also change to Hot Rod... but then again, the Rodimus figure wasn't received too well and had issues with the legs. Still this version of Hot Rod, looks.. a bit misproportioned? Chest seems way too big, although the color is correct. As some people are saying, they're probably releasing this for the Movie Anniversary next year. :)





Transformers Masterpiece MP-29 Shockwave - New Pics!

Cool, so they have the colored prototype out, not bad! Purple could be a bit darker tho. Otherwise, wow, they've never reissued the original shockwave, even as an encore figure (i wonder why?), so this is very welcome. :) Looks like it has light up features too like the original.

1st of October!

So i guess Green day has already woken up? Haha! Anyway, the realisation that X'mas is slightly less then 12 weeks away is.... scary. :p Well, i guess we can wind down for the year end... right? Or at least i hope so haha. :)
