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..

KFC's Mr Bean Stationery Set

Available now from KFC - Mr Bean Stationery Set. 4 toys that can combined to form a toy apartment with yard and comes with stationeries! This is similar to the Doraemon Stationery set also issued by KFC years ago. Here's a short description of what they do: The grass yard have the 'Mr Bean' name embossed on it. It comes with notepad and a crayon. Mr Bean's car act as a lock for the notepad holder. Next, the calendar and a ruler, which is hidden behind. The ruler also fucntion as a stand when combining the toys. This toy can also be use as a pen/pencil holder. Then we have the mini photo frame and scissors that is hidden at the side, and a mini drawer also at the side. Lastly, a light projector, which projects some faint image from the cartoon. The cat fuctions as the on/off button. Overall cool and cute to look at. Worth collecting.

1977 Vintage The Amazing Spiderman Web Shooter

I used to have this when I was still a primary school kid. It was only sold for, if not mistaken RM1.90 only those days. Recently I got this from a antique stall in a flea market. Why I remembered this well - because it was a toy I wanted for a long time before I finally manage to get enough money to buy! And what makes it even more memorable was when I bought it, the toy couldn't shoot! Duh! A foreigner offered to buy this from me soon after I got it but I decided not to sell it....yet. On the card was printed '1977 Marvel Comics Group' and 'Made in Hong Kong'. Checked eBay - not available..must be rare...

DC Infinite Heroes Collection

Can you imagine Batman without Batarang? Wonder Woman without her magic lasso? Thats exactly what Mattel's DCU Infinite Heroes offer to collectors! Selling at RM39.90 for a measly 3" figure with no accessories! I didn't want to collect at first. What changed my mind? Well, first these figures are on sale. Second, these are the main DC Universe characters - Superman, Batman and Wonder Woman. I got Supes for only RM15!! There's two Batman figure, one is the classic blue grey variation which is supposedly rare according to a toy magazine and the other regular black version.

Transformers Star Wars Collection

My collector friend said this series is ugly. I agreed but only on the mech/robot mode. I find the vehicle mode quite nice, plus it comes with a mini figure that can fit inside each vehicles. Kinda remind me of Micro Machines Action Fleet Collection. So I decided to collect...until last year where I stopped when Hasbro stopped issuing the mini figures in their new wave. I don't understand why Hasbro is reducing the play value of these cool vehicles!! So here's my collection of Star Wars Transformers - all with the mini figures. Except for Anakin and Obi-Wan Jedi Starfighter, I do not collect other repaints, which they have quite a lot in this series.

This series started in 2005..almosts 5 years and I notice the X-wing already yellowed! Cheap plastics!

The only combiner set - Millenium Falcon (Han & Chewie) set. I got this from US, even after shipping, is still cheaper that the retail price here. Whats more the US version have 2 free Gold Titanium Vehicles - Tie Fighter & Falcon!

The last piece I collected in this series was the Darth Vader Death Star set. It's huge, has lights and sounds effect, comes with mini Vader and Stormtroopers plus mini Tie Fighters that can turn to mech mode!! Cool!
