Malaysia International Toy Fair & McDonalds Brave and Bold Batman Premium

Just completed my collection of McDonalds latest premium - Batman Brave and the Bold set which features 3 figures and a vehicle. I kinda like this set especially the Batmobile. It has good sculpt and play features. The Batman throws 3 cardboard Batarang. Blue Beetle have flipping wings and Aquaman throws a water ball. The Batmobile consist of 2 vehicles and a pull and release feature - The Batmobile breaks apart and release the Bat bike (sorry dunno the actual name of the bike!). Very nice to display and play.

Oh by the way, this weekend at Midvalley there will be Malaysia International Toy Fair. I think it's the first. Search the web and you'll find the link.

Star Wars Empire Strikes Back 30th Anniversary Toy Carnival

Last weekend at e@Curve, there's a small Star Wars Toys Carnival to celebrate Star Wars Empire Strikes Back 30th anniversary. First, the dissappointing news - Calling the event a 'Toy Carnival' I expected loads of Star Wars toys. But it only showcase some up-coming toys like the huge AT-AT, Twin Cloud Car etc and it occupied only the small showcase area (see pic) - Duh!

Now for some better news - there's a showcase of assembled model kits and diorama toys (only 1 table-long display), a huge cardboard model of Star Destroyer, look very cool and my favorite piece, - a model of Han in Carbonite with Leia Boushh, complete with lighting effect! Looks just like in the movie! There was one Star Wars game offered to shoppers, some lightsaber contest and a few Star Wars cosplayers (manage to get a quick snap shot of Vader and Fett!). Well though is a small showcase event, I must say a job well done to the organizers for keeping the Star Wars spirit alive!

Recent Toy Acquisition - Batman and DragonBall!

Haven't been buying toys for about a month but then suddenly found lots of stuff that I like at a good price! Here they are: Batman Gotham Knight 3 pack - based on the cool Japanese animation and Crisis 3 pack which includes Batman's alliance Batwoman, Nightwing and Robin. Original price RM79.90, I got it for RM49.90. These 3" figures comes with little or no accessories! Pathetic! At least Hasbro make good effort to include accessories and build a droid in their Star Wars 3" figures line to give 'VALUE' to the collectors. Next is the Classic Blue Outfit Batman, also sold at RM79.90 and I got it for RM47. Not many takers because of the ridiculously high price point (guess thats why on sale!) I still remember way back when Mattel first got the licence for Batman toys, figure this size was sold for only RM29.90!

Another collection I got was Bandai's Dragonball Z candy toys figures and a cool Son Gokou and Shen Ron bust. These were originally selling for RM24.90 each and the bust RM39.90. I got the figures at RM9.90 and the bust RM12.90 only! The candy toys came in 5 boxes complete set. Each box have 2 figures - the good guy and bad guy. See the box covers for the pairing. These are about 3" tall with little articulation. As for the bust, it is very nice - excellent sculpt and paint job.

TRU Member Sale!!

TRU is having their member sale...yeah I know it's for some time already..so not the latest news. However I was at Hartamas and they further reduced the price for some of the GI Joes and Star Wars stuff. I got the Lars homestead set for only RM50 bucks! I also know some collectors hated this overpriced ridiculous set when it first came out, but hey, for RM50 bucks - what else can you ask for? Its got 3 figures, 1 womp rat, 1 vaporiser thingy and of course a huge playset house where Luke can have his blue milk.

Godzilla Collection

Most of these are Bandai's Classic Godzilla Release. My favorite of the lot is the Burning Godzilla and the Millenium Godzilla (the head with b/w background). With limited articulation, these figures are more for display rather than play. Then we have the 1998 Hollywood version of Godzilla, a hand puppet made by Resaurus. The skinny Godzilla above is the 1958 version, if not mistaken. I have a couple more Godzillas, not shown here, it's tuck away high up and hard to reach for photographs with all the other toys stacked up. Maybe next time..
