ToyBiz X-Men Movie Wolverine vs Sabretooth twinpack



I got this for a good price at Flea Market. It sure bring back some good ol memories.
Compared to character's likeness, this one loses to Hasbro current Wolverine Origins series. Having said that, the figures does have decent Hugh Jackman and Tyler Mane resemblance. I just wished that they do a better paint job on Wolvie's eyes. But what make it better than Hasbro's is it's play value! The figures both have battle actions plus face expression change feature! Press a button on the back, Wolvie and Sabretooth snarl at each other..cool gimmick.
Collectible Value: Checked eBay not really that sought after..but then this toy is almost 10 years old..could be a good catch now.

CRAYON SHIN CHAN & VOLKSWAGON BEETLE




Finally an interesting toy premium from A&W!
Limited Edition Crayon Shin Chan Adventure figures. These are 6 plastic figures of Shin Chan with no articulation or play features at all! Purely for display. The set also comes with a cardboard display house. Cute but unfortunately no playability.
Next, KFC is offering Limited Edition (again) Beetle Collection. The Volkswagon is the first car I dreamt of buying while in school. I like it because it has a unique evergreen shape. The KFC beetles are pricey for a premium, about $9.90 each and if you buy the KFC X-meal, you get it for $5.90. The quality of the cars are good, with detailed paint job. It has pull-back action. Very nice and recommended to Beetle collectors.

Invincible Iron Man Movie Figure


I wanted to get this figure when it first came out. But I was hoping for a miracle to happen, that it would go for 50-70% sale!! After a while, this figure was dissapearing fom the shelves. I was at Sogo a couple of months back, there were 5 pieces. Then I went again about a month later, there were 4 pieces left. I went there a couple more times..still no buyer nor sale. Yesterday I went again, only 1 piece left!! The miracle didn't happen but then I still got it for 10% off.

Now on the Iron Man. Hasbro did a decent job on this figure. Of course you can't compare to the other Iron Man figures out there, especially from Hot Toys in which you pay a premium.
It has good sculpt, good metallic red and gold paint job and loads of play value! It has a removable mask, a jetpack (wonder whats it for since he could fly without it), snap on blaster x 2, snap on laser vision targeting harness, 6 projectiles (3 repulsor missiles, 2 missiles and 1 arm canon) and a retractable long range artillery! It has electronic speech "I am Iron Man!" "Repulsor Blast" "Target Engaged!" and blast effect sound, flying and landing sound plus lights on chest and hand. Articulation is quite basic at hands, elbows, legs and knees. This figure display well!

Collectible Value: 5/10 Price may go up in future as the next Iron Man movie is coming. However there may be re-issue on this figure.
Play Value: 10/10 C'mon what more could you ask for?

KAIYODO KING KONG DIORAMA




I bought a set of 10 Kaiyodo King Kong dioramas 'blind figures' (meaning you don't know what you gonna get) and though there are 4 duplicates, I am satisfied because I am very impressed by the quality of the figures. The details and paint job are absolutely amazing. And these are small about 3-4" tall. ! Wonder how those Japs make such fine details on these mini figures. Each diorama comes with base and a concept art write-up written in Japanese. Check em out!
