My troops!! part one..

2008-01-19T12:05:00.000+08:00

Now..to show off my Clone Troopers..haha..clones..once you start, you can't stop! geez..how true..
In Clone Wars, Commander Keller is the leader of the special division of clone cold assault troopers. With him, is his snow trooper standing on his right. Got them with a comic.

The 7th sky Corps led by Commander Cody (2nd from right). Obi wan Kenobi is the jedi who led this team to track down General Grievous. Upon receiving Order 66, Cody ordered his troopers to shoot obiwan down. But Obi Wan managed to escaped.
91st Recon Corp. Led by Commander Neyo. Neyo is on the right. Nice head sculpt. One of the more movie accurate leaders available then.
In the battle at Kashyyyk, Commander gree led his swamp troopers alongside Yoda. When order 66 was passed down, Gree had a failed attempt to kill Yoda as the master himself sensed a disturbance and was able to behead Gree before he could even kill Yoda. In pic, From left, Kashyyyk Trooper from Order66 pack, Commander Gree and Swamp trooper. Gree has been reissued to be more movie accurate and I hope to get him!

Troopers from Combat Enginner, 5th Fleet and 38th Armoured.
Trooper and pilot from the ARC 170 Squadron. This was from an exclusive set.
Shock Troopers. Commander Thire with his shock trooper. Also in pic, from Hawkbat batallion, Commander Deviss, who later was promoted to lead one of Bly's legion.
327th Star Corps with Yellow clone trooper and Commander Bly.
Phase I Troopers. The colours denoit the rank with White being a private, Green denotes sergeant, blue denotes Lietuenant, Red denotes Captain and Yellow denotes Commander.

Will add some more when I have the time...many more to go!!

Marvel Select Venom

2008-01-16T15:23:00.000+08:00

Been a while since I got new stuffs. Well, here's the latest. Marvel Select Venom with a scaedy faced Peter Parker..haha. Venom looks cool but there's a flaw in the figurine. His legs are not really poseable. Not much artculation. Could have been better. Spider-man cannot be removed from the safe wall.

A close up look on his scared face..haha..just love the features..but his head a little too big compared to his body. And paint job on his hair isn't that good.
Big Venom. Added to my collection of Venoms. Nice figure, but would be better if more articulation.

Batman & Son and Justice Armoured Batman

2007-11-11T15:27:00.000+08:00

Finally, after so long, I got my armoured Batman. Thing is, it came with two handles which the figure is supposed to hold, but I broke it coz both palms are sealed. But well, It still looks good without them and the cape looks good too. I like the mask. Futuristic.

Another purchase is the newly released series Batman and Son. Initially wanted to get Infinite Crisis, but caught my eye on this instead. Nice piece. Especially the cape and the face mold. So far, DC Direct never fail.

And here's an updated collection of mine

Enjoy!

Transformers Movie Bumblebee

2007-07-19T19:12:00.000+08:00

Finally got him!! After waiting for some time, I got him at retail price!! Eat dirt you scalpers!! Only paid SGD26.90. To those who paid more, I pity you guys. To those who are not tf fans and got him for a quick profit, well, to hell with you! Haha. K. First of all, dig his alternate mold. Camaro 08. Even has the Chevrolet logo! Robot mode, well, kinda disappointed with the head. I mean, where is his helmet? If only they made him more movie accurate. Poseability is pretty good. Door swings like wings of a bee. That's why they call him bumblebee. Haha. Well, original Bumblebee is supposed to be a Volkswagen Beetle. A pity they don't give the license. But, still, this is a nice piece to own.

Venom Animated

2007-07-19T19:09:00.000+08:00

It has arrived. From the series Spider-man animated cartoon. Arrived from Canada. He stands at 10 inch. Not really poseable. Has rubbery head. Kinda disappointed as he has loose leg. Well, at least he's a great addition to my Venom collection

Vintage Voltron

2007-07-19T19:01:00.000+08:00

Remember these? Yeap. Vintage stuffs. Voltron!! I got the book during my primary school days in 1989. Can't believe I finally got the toy after all these years from a friend of mine. Nice. For those who were not born during this era, well, the story is about 5 robot lions who merge to form Voltron, the protector of the universe. The Japanese are so creative.

Tomica

2007-07-19T18:54:00.000+08:00

Also in my colelction. My fire engines and ambulance from Tomica. Kinda dig the fire engines coz I got influenced by my ex girlfriend. She loves fire engines..

Eunos Roadster

2007-07-19T18:50:00.000+08:00

Eunos Roadster. Also known as Mazda Miata. Got this piece last year as the name resembles my name. Yunus. haha. A small piece. About 4cm long.

Jaguar X-Type

2007-07-13T16:24:00.000+08:00

The X-TYPE is the smallest of the current Jaguar saloon (sedan) cars, and was designed to build on the success of the S-Type, although it takes many styling cues from the XJ series. Jaguar states that 10% of the parts are made by Jaguar, 20% are made by Ford, while the rest are made by subcontractors. This one is being powered by a V6.

Jaguar S-Type

2007-07-13T16:15:00.000+08:00

My dream car back then. S-Type Jaguar. Introduced in the year 2000. Styled by the late Geoff Lawson. Powered by the supercharged V8, this beauty can produce 390hp and can accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in 5.3 s (0 to 100 km/h in 5.6 s). This model is 1:18. Thus, pretty much detailed.

Jaguar XK 180

2007-07-13T16:06:00.000+08:00

A birthday present given to me by my family. They sent it over from Singapore to Brunei. Wow. How nice! I was surprised to received this at my camp. A nice piece. XK 180. Jaguar Sports car. We don't see this on Singapore roads anyway.

Jaguar E Type

2007-07-13T15:41:00.000+08:00

A little different from my other collections. I collect die cast cars as well. Well, basically just Jaguars. This was the 1961-1968 Series 1. A 2-door coupe. Pretty detailed. This Series 1 was introduced in 1961. The Series 1 can be recognised by glass covered headlights (up to 1967), small "mouth" opening at the front, signal lights and tail-lights above bumpers and exhaust tips under the license plate in the rear. A nice piece of vintage car.

Batman: Superman/Batman Vengeance

2007-06-30T23:41:00.000+08:00

Finally got this piece. From the Superman/Batman Vengeance. Batman Beyond. Cool figure. Not too poseable. But love the black and the closeness to the cartoon character. Worth it

JLU

2007-06-30T23:32:00.000+08:00

New addition to my collection. Justice League Unlimited by Mattel. Starting on this line. Got myself Dr Light and Steel. Looks good. Will only get the Heroes and not the villains though.

Transformers Movie: Bonecrusher

2007-06-30T23:25:00.000+08:00

Bonecrusher. Appeared in Transformers the Movie. He swept away all the vehicles that were blocking his way while chasing after Bumblebee on the highway. In vehicle mode, he's a Buffalo Armoured Vehicle. A really fierce looking vehicle and robot. A pity he died early in the movie.

Transformers G1 Breakdown

2007-06-30T23:19:00.000+08:00

My latest addition to my collection of Lamborghini Transformers. Breakdown is a member of the combiner Stunticons or Menasor. Got him from a fellow member of a local forum. Pretty cool piece. A lamborghini cuntach. Same as Sideswipe but smaller and different robot mold.

Transformers Movie: Barricade

2007-06-22T15:58:00.000+08:00

At first when the figure was shown on net, I was like "eeww! What is this?" But when I saw the packaging and the trailer, I thought, well, maybe I should just get him. Barricade. Alternate mode, a Police car. A Saleen S281 Ford Mustang to be more precise. With the words "To punish and enslave" at the side of the car. A nice alternate mode. A pretty nice robot mode actually. Can't wait for the movie to be out! My 4th movie toy. He comes with a minicon Frenzy

Transformers: Black Hot Rods

2007-06-22T15:54:00.000+08:00

My black Rodimus Prime. Pictured on the right is a magazine exclusive whereby in Japan, readers of a certain magazine get to fill in their names and a chance to win it. I got him direct from Japan for SGD80 with shipping. The one on the left was a present gave to me by my brother. Got him through ebay. About SGD160. Ehobby exclusive. A rare piece.

Transformers: Big Black Convoy

2007-06-22T15:50:00.000+08:00

He's a mammoth. Ehobby exclusive. My priciest to date. Got him at SGD200. Prices now have skyrocket to abt SGD250 and on ebay, even more! Lucky to get him locally. Nice robot mode. Comes with the creation matrix. A nice cool looking black prime. Love the eyes. Golden and shiny! My holy grail!!

Transformers: Menasor and Scourge

2007-06-22T15:42:00.000+08:00

Some mini Black Primes. Menasor from the classics series and Scourge from the R.I.D. series. Pretty small.

Spychager Scourge with the R.I.D. Scourge.

Transformers: RID Scourge

2007-06-22T15:37:00.000+08:00

Nice sweet piece. From the TF2000 series also known as Transformers R.I.D. This is the Korean version. Got him at a mere SGD80. He's a repaint of G2 Prime as well. Sword is a lil pinky tho. Coz of the Korean version. Pretty articulated and poseable.

Transformers: Nucleon Quest

2007-06-22T15:34:00.000+08:00

A Toys 'R' Us exclusive. Supposedly 3000 pieces worldwide. But numbers seem to be growing. Haha. Got him as a present form my dad. Got it at SGD120. A black repaint of the Powermaster Prime. As an old figure, lack the articulation. He's juz almost like a statue.

Transformers: Nemesis Prime Alternator

2007-06-22T15:30:00.000+08:00

Nemesis Prime from the alternator series. Cool truck mode. Dodge Ram gave the license to produce him. Only flaw is the short gun. Gun transform into his engine. But out of proportion for a big guy like him.

Transformers: Destructicon Scourge

2007-06-22T15:26:00.000+08:00

He's a Walmart exclusive. Came with Buldgeon. But got him from a local auction site here. thank goodness I got him during the year of production. Got him for SGD25 only. Now everyone's putting up a crazy $70++ price tag on him. A nice black repaint of G2 Hero Optimus Prime.

Transformers: Armada Nemesis Prime

2007-06-22T15:21:00.000+08:00

Here it is. One non exclusive black repaint of Prime. He's from the Armada series. I used to have the Japanese version which is all black and grey. Nice. But sold it off due to some cash constraints. So, here, I have the non exclusive one. Also black only that he has a lil beige on him. It's one of my most favorite mold actually. Alternate mode is a truck.

Transformers: Onyx Primal

2007-06-22T15:17:00.000+08:00

My Botcon Exclusive. It's a convention held in the US. This was an exclusive for the 1996 convention. Got it through ebay. Black Onyx Primal. Still an Optimus Prime. Still black. Still get it. Haha. Nice looking vampire bat.

Transformers: Black Lio Convoy Robotmaster

2007-06-22T15:11:00.000+08:00

Ooh Yea. this has got to be one of the cheapest black repaint of prime I ever got. For SGD45, he's a steal! He's about 12 cm tall. Same as the rest of the Robotmasters. He didn't come as a set with the other Black Robotmasters. Nice piece. Cool black repaint of prime. I posed him in alternate mode with the original sized Black Lio Convoy. Another great Black Prime repaint! Alternate mode is a lion.

Transformers: Black Lio Convoy

2007-06-22T15:01:00.000+08:00

Black Lio convoy. Ehobby exclusive. Got him for only SGD75. Nice piece. There's another version of him with purple feet. That is waayyy out of my budget and very very rare. So, I didn't take a pic of his alternate mode. Must have been too excited taking him with the Robotmaster version which I'll put in the next post. Cool figure. Black primes never fail to disappoint me.

Transformers: Black Robot Masters

2007-06-22T14:49:00.000+08:00

Now then. The start of my Black Transformers collection. First up. My Robotmaster G1 Optimus Prime. Supposed to be sold as a set but I got him individually. Which is crap coz I paid SGD 100 for this guy. Man!! Well..He looks ok la. I like him coz of the colour black.

Another Optimus Prime repaint. Robotmaster Black Primal. got him for only SGD50. Pretty cheap for an exclusive. He's got the easiest transformation ever. Both stand at about 12cm high. Pretty small.

Transformers Movie Brawl

2007-06-18T11:55:00.000+08:00

just couldn't resist. He's close to the G1 brawl in alternate mode. In Generation 1, Brawl is a tank. Now, in the movie, he is a M1 Abrams Tank. Cool! Picked him up last Saturday. Last piece. he was pegged all the way back. Someone may have stashed him there. Great thing i found him. A great piece. Robot mode looks cool. He's big and mean looking. Another TF Movie toy pick for me!

My "cute" Venoms

2007-06-18T11:38:00.000+08:00

One of my friends said that the toys i feature are boyish. Meaning that Gals will never be interested as none were cute. Well, here goes. Haha..hope these are a lil cute for the girls. First up, Zigzigglers Venom. Very small. About 6cm high only.
From Spider-man 3. He comes with Spidey but well, gave it to my younger bro. I just want this Venom. Haha.
Yea. Just got this plush Venom few days back. Last one at a nearby Departmental store. Cute??

Last but not least. 2 Venoms from Burger King. Now, prices reached about 8bucks a piece. Sheesh! I got mine from BK at 4.95 with the Kid's Meal. On the right, the eyes and the logo on the Venom can glow in the dark!

Venom from Spider-Man3

2007-06-18T11:32:00.000+08:00

He's damn purple!! Haha. That's the flaw Hasbro made. Well, not really as they purposely made an exclusive black repaint(movie accurate) on him. Darn you people!! kinda like the mold. He's much more articulated than my Batman movie figurines.

2007-06-16T12:45:00.000+08:00

2003 production from Japan. Super Eagle Killer. Was lucky to find it in Singapore. Couldn't find it anywhere else on ebay even! Thank goodness no one collects this. Haha. Got it at cheap price. Another Lamborghini Diablo.

This one is the clear version of the Super Eagle Killer. Also Japanese production. got it at the same shop. Also hard to find on ebay. Both are 2003 production. Lamborghini Diablo!

Transformers: Gobot Sideswipe

2007-06-16T12:37:00.000+08:00

This Sideswipe is cool. many versions of it. Sideswipe's a Lamborghini. And so, ever since G1, the creators have retained it's original Lamborghini alternate mode. This one is Lamborghini Diablo. Nice. A 1995 production.

Ironhide

2007-06-15T22:41:00.000+08:00

Got my 2nd figure from the Transformers the Movie. Ironhide is cool. With his black colour, he looks evil. Pretty troublesome in getting him from the vehicle mode to the bot mode because of the new feature that Hasbro installed on the toys. Ironhide 's alternate mode is a GMC TopKick C4500 pickup truck. Nice mold for the truck.

Blackout

2007-06-15T22:15:00.000+08:00

My first purchase from the movie 'Transformers The Movie". Blackout is a MH-53 Super Jolly Green Giant. You should see the trailer when Blackout transformed at the airbase in front of the many army personnel. Cool!!

Icons Venom

2007-06-15T22:08:00.000+08:00

Oh yea. My favourite Venom figure. 12" tall. Super poseable. Similar to my Rotocast in a sense that he keeps falling off. Weak knees. But overall, fierce look. Love the detailing. My only Marvel character. He's the reason I watch Spiderman 3

Rotocast Venom

2007-06-15T21:52:00.000+08:00

Big beauty. 12" Rotocast Venom. He's huge! But pretty loose on the knees. Keep falling off the display cabinet. A nice figure only that he has very long arms.

Legends of The Dark Knight

2007-06-15T21:47:00.000+08:00

This has got to be my one and only Batman figurine by Mattel. After collecting DC Direct Batman, I've decided to give up all non DC Direct Bats. I like this Batman because of the cape. Nice. Not that super poseable but well, what can you expect from an old toy.

Justice Batman and Gotham by Gaslight

2007-06-15T21:42:00.000+08:00

This has got to be the most detailed piece of Batman! Look at the eyes! nice sculpt of Batman from Justice.

This Batman was from the comic Gotham by Gaslight. The story was inspired by Jack the Ripper. Both figures also from DC Direct.

Kingdom Come Batman

2007-06-15T21:32:00.000+08:00

Lucky me to get this Kingdom Come Batman first issue. The reactivated one has a lousy grey on the body. This one's neat. With wings that can be opened. Though I wonder why he has a blushed cheek. Too bad I can't take a closer picture of that.

Classic Batman

2007-06-15T21:24:00.000+08:00

Silver age Batman. He comes with Robin but well, as a Bat collector, I only got this set for the bat himself. Nice detailing of the mask.

This is the 1st appearance Batman. Got this from the US. Cost me about SGD60++ with shipping. Kinda worth it for me I guess as I don't want to get the set that's being sold here. Cloth material for his cape. one of my favourite Batman figurine.

2007-06-15T21:18:00.000+08:00

Nice sculpt of the Dark Knight Returns Batman. I got him pretty cheap actually.A lil bit off balance when standing him. That's a minus point.

Elseworld Batman. This figure really is comic accurate. The face sculpt especially. Kinda the very few bats in black.

One of the nicest sculpt of Batman from DC Direct. This was from the comic Batman Hush. Follows the old school Batman.

Identity Crisis Batman

2007-06-15T19:26:00.000+08:00

Batman by DC Direct. From the series Identity Crisis. I like the way they made the cape flowing. Nice sculpt.

Batman Public Enemies

2007-06-15T18:45:00.000+08:00

Starting on my Toy Blog. First post. Batman from the Superman/Batman Public Enemies series. Armoured Batman protects himself when rescuing the corrupted Supergirl. The other Batman is more comic accurate. Both from DC Direct. Cool toys indeed
