Optimus Prime Haul & McDonalds Coca Cola Sale Alert!

The Weaponizer Optimus Prime was in my wish list but what accelerated my purchase recently was the Transformers Prime Gift  with Purchase Promotion at Isetan! (I got the DOTM Cyberverse Shockwave fusion tank set for free from this purchase!) This version of Prime have 4 modes...actually 2, the 'additional' modes are just weapons popping out in both robot and vehicle form. Its pretty nice Optimus with Leader Class size.
One surprise purchase was the AM01 TRU Japan Exclusive Battle Shield Optimus Prime. Seeing how cool those Microns combined to form Optimus' shield, I was sold. And these Microns can be transformed to individual robots! The down side of this is that these Microns are unassembled and have to be fix like model kits. For some this could be additional play value but for me its like "Darn..got to fix this" This set comes with 4 Microns!
MCDonalds is currently having a sale of the 2012 Olympic Coca-Cola glasses, complete set of 6 for only RM12.95! Unbelievable! Go get'em if you haven't.
Also McDonalds had a nice collection of Young Justice figures in their Happy Meal promo. There's the the light up Superboy (eyes & emblem), Missile firing Robin with bike, Superman with 'hands lifting' action to stimulate flight and Batman with extending cape! Overall very nice.

More Toys Photos...Transformers Human Alliance Collection..

Just to share some photos..Kenner Bruce Wayne Batman and Toybiz Batmobile with Cocoon..

My Transformers Human Alliance Collection from all the three movies...these are the 'main' ones, I seldom collect re-paints which there are a few in this series...

Toys Bounty Update - Optimus Prime, Kenner Batman, Ultraman, Spiderman..

Time flies! It's almost four months since my last blog! Just to note some toys collected in the past months..

Vintage Kenner Bruce Wayne figure. I wanted to have this to match the Batmobile. Finally got one loose from USA for a reasonable price. Batman's cowl. chest plate, gloves and boots are made of hard plastic..much better and durable than Mattel's Batman's Bruce Wayne figure! It has a cool Michael Keaton's likeness!

I got a Tokyo Toy Show Exclusive Clear Optimus Prime from the Transformers Prime series. It looks really beautiful! Comes in a black and white packaging, retailing for over USD100++, but I got it here for much much less. I also bought the Music Label Optimus Prime dock with speakers for Ipod. this figure was not in my radar until there was a sale in a toy collector shop - got discounted about a hundred bucks!:) This Optimus Prime have a newly molded head.

I got these Spiderman Coin bust for RM25 each only! It's very nicely sculpted and painted from Monogram. There are other Marvel coin bust like Wolverine and Captain America, but I felt these two are the best!

Lastly, I got this set of Ultraman Brothers with cape from Japan eBay. It was an exclusive as it comes in a black and white box. I though these were the regular 6" Ultraman based on the photos. This thought came to me because few years ago in Singapore Flea Market, one seller tried to sell me one of these exclusive Ultraman with cape. But I was mistaken. When the figures arrived, they are only 3" tall! Inside were 6 figures, 6 capes individually wrapped and a candy. Nevertheless, the set looks pretty nice.

MACROSS SDF-1 1/5000 SCALE DIE-CAST MODEL

Macross or Robotech in the US was one of my favorite anime-toons when I was a teen. Last week in Johor Bahru, in a local night market, I stumbled upon a die-cast Macross SDF-1 model figure. I got it for RM15 only! I checked the internet for info on this figure and found out that a mint-in-box figure is selling for USD440.00!!! This is actually from the W.A.V.E 1/5000 scale version of the SDF-1 ship. The original comes with a display base and it's transformable!

Mine is just the figure and two of the antennas were broken during transportation. Managed to glued back one. Overall it's a very nice figure but can be easily broken because of the small antennas. I've checked YouTube for the transformation...it's pretty complicated. So I'll display it as it is ...for now..

Vintage ROTJ Speeder Bike

I got this from the flea market yesterday. I wanted this for some time but was hesitant to buy from eBay due to exorbitant shipping charges. This set is complete with tray, instructions and a C6 box. Initially didn't wanted to buy because I thought one of the brake flaps was broken, but upon closer inspection, it was just unhook and can be fixed easily. After fixing, it works perfectly. What's missing in this set is the toy catalog. The bike is nice and clean and is working perfectly.

The Speeder Bike Gimmick: When the speeder is on the ground, the brake flaps are closed. When the speeder is "flying", the brake flaps automatically pops up to reveal engines. The T-Bar that holds the Biker Scout is actually spring loaded, to keep the Biker in place. Underneath the speeder is a "Laser Gun" that rotates. Finally, when the knapsack is pressed, the speeder explodes to 3 pieces.

Hasbro re-issued this in 1995 under POTF2 that comes together with the Biker Scout. I m not sure if the re-issued version has been retooled but it was definetly repainted. This vintage speeder in box is selling in Ebay for USD40-80, depending on condition.
