Moretoy - 1/6 Karas - Unboxed

Karas (鴉) is a six episode Japanese anime which produced by Tatsunoko Production to commemorate its 40th anniversary of animation production. Generally speaking, this anime focus on A former yakuza (members of traditional organized crime syndicates in Japan) who living in a fictional version of Shinjuku, Tokyo populated by humans and yokai (Japanese spirits). He is one of the titular Karas, humans appointed as superpowered agents of the land. Able to transform into a car, an aircraft, and an armored crusader; the skilled swordsman is to stop his corrupt predecessor, Eko, from taking over Tokyo.

I've downloaded all six episode but haven't got time to sit down and relax to watch it. This 1/6 Karas was manufactured by a new company called Moretoy in 1/6 line. For their first 1/6 i would said this is quite impress comparing to a lot of company during their first production of 1/6 figure. As for articulation, he was restricted for certain pose due to outer black matte armor. On the accessories, this box came with a anime accurate katana which is about 2ocm in length, two left hands and one right hand for holding katana and a display base/stand which has the chinese word "鴉" carved in the middle. Although there are still room of improvement for Moretoy to work on, but i still find this an outstanding figure and i definitely looking forward for more figure form them. Keep it up Moretoy!

Very nice box art and simple box design as we seen from a lot of other 1/6 figure

I'm pretty sure this is not a children toy anymore for this is an adult collectibles, so to me it would be more precise not to state any age but mention this is for adult collectibles. If reallt necessary, i would say this is not suitable for children under 15-years^^

Sideshow - 1/6 Store Exclusive Blackhole Stormtrooper - Unboxed

This is my second 1/6 figure from Star Wars by SideShow the Blackhole Stormtroopers Store Exclusive Version. My first ever bought Star Wars 1/6 figure was the 501st Legion Vader's Fist Clone Trooper. According to Sideshow website, the Store Exclusive for this trooper means this item is only available for purchase directly from an authorized Sideshow Retailer but actually you can still find it in ebay or like me i got it from lyn forum^^

I like this version of stormtroopers as this is the only troopers in black color and of cause the paint makes this figure another selling point. I believe this is a must get figure for those who have the 1/6 Darth Vader for they looks freaking awesome when put together especially with Darth Vader standing in the middle with two Blackhole Stormtroopers standing side by side:))

SoldierStory - 1/6 U.S.NAVY SEAL SDV TEAM 1

It has been two busy months for me since the beginning of the year that pushing me back in blogging about my hobbies. Well, i never gave up on it but only being less on certain collectibles or should i say stay focus on certain collectibles from now onwards.

There are plenty of reasons on my decision, one of it is because i'm into too many different collectibles before and i can't seem to cope with. On the other hand, being focus on one kind of a collectibles gives me more time to do other things that i missed out last year.

As i was just upgraded from husband to daddy, it is reasonable for me to spend more time with my wife and my little princess instead of just keeping all the time occupied with my collectibles. Although i was little late got into 1/6 figure but i guess this is the kind of the collectible i will continue add in my collection while letting go some others in the same times.

So let's talk about this time purchase. This is my forth military figure and is from the Soldier Story the U.S Navy Seal SDV Team 1. I got this awesome figure from a trusted seller in lyn.net with the pre-order price, so i pretty happy with it. Soldier Story figure has always win over the hearts of its loyalty collector to continue support them as their accessories are top notch as well as the costume tailoring.

Most of the collector into 1/6 will normally care about the head sculpt and it really plays a very important part for collector whether to go for it or not. As for this figure the head sculpt is accurately molded like Stephen Lang who plays the role Colonel Miles Quaritch in the multi-award winning film, Avatar.

Let's hope that Soldier Story will continue their professionalism in producing more and more awesome figure in coming months.

Happy New Year 2011

Happy New Year 2011 to all my fellow bloggers^^ May we all had a great year in 2010 and ready to welcome the challenge in our life in year 2011.

Soldier Story - 1/6 - CIA - SAD Night OPS Version 2

It has been a busy month for me that caused me blog less^^ Well here i am again to update my hauls before the end of year 2010 with some 1/6 figures. Initially i was waiting for other 1/6 military but due to some technical problem that my local toyshop facing end up getting this 1/6 Soldier Story - CIA - SAD Night OPS Version 2

As usual this 1/6 military box set comes with a lot of accessories and is selling in a higher price as compare to other same brand military box set. This CIA Ver 2 has been released some time ago before i was into 1/6 military figure so was either sold out in most of the place or need to paid for higher price to get it. Well, there is none of the figure or collectible that i would pay a sky high price just to get it, If that particular figure was selling like hot cake and i wasn't able grab it with retail price or pre-oreder price then i'll save my bullet for others.

My purchase this time was from the re-stock schedule with about 10% less than the retail price given by my local toys store Hayasa Hobby. Initially i was waiting for the other 1/6 military box set the Soldier Story U.S Navy Seal SDC Team 1 but sadly my local toys store hasn't been given the first batch stock by his supplier so i'll just have to wait till the second batch to arrive or to go for other alternatives.

Nendoroid Playset 03 : Culture Festival A and B + Hasegawa EggPlane VF-1S Strike/Super Valkyrie

I was waiting patiently for a better deal (if that will happen) on both the Nendoroid Playset 03 : Culture Festival Version to be added into my collection. Well just somewhere around last month great offer was spotted at Otacute, so without any hesitation order was placed for both of them. Great offer on both these sets not only the be a part of the reason why i grabbed them, another main reason is because these sets contains of a lot of musical instruments that makes me even more excited get them.

Both of these sets were the third set by Good Smile Company (GSC). Each set was divide into two set which sold separately and available to be combined together for display. The first set is the School Life 01A and 01B while the second is the Japanese Living Room 02A and 02B. The forth set which will be release in March next year is the European-Style Building 04A and 04B which is the most expensive set upon all the release.

Two wall pieces (window, blackboard), floor, a step, a piano with chair, guitar with case, a saxophone, a speaker and Nendoroid hand parts to hold the guitar case.

Two wall pieces (door, blackboard), floor, a step, taiko drum with drumsticks, festival lanterns (white and red), a Japanese guitar, a pianica, a tambourine, a recorder, a music stand and Nendoroid hand parts to hold the various instruments.

If i was not mistaken, i think this time purchase of Hasegawa Eggplane is my 19th eggplane. I'm sure Hasegawa will release more in the future due to this cute little plastic model plane is so adorable and salable in the market. The release of VF-1S strike/Super Valkyrie contain the most parts upon all te eggplane released in the market. Each water slide decal can nearly fit for three eggplanes.

Three-B AVP2 Predator (Exclusive) + Nendoroid Saber: Super Movable Edition

Never had got pass my mind that i would bought any of the figurine from the "alien world" movie series. Well, i meant no harm to all the collector into these series but is just not my cup of tea. If i were to go for any of it, i'll be sure to look at how cool the finishing job done.

Having said that, there is one Predator that caught my attention and it was from the alien movie series, Aliens vs. Predator: Requiem. I was impressed by Three-B Predator mainly due to the exclusive version, the scale and the super duper discount offered by HobbySearch. It stands at approximately 22.5cm (9 inch) with the alien blood spattered around and an optional unmasked face which included to display it with its distinctive face revealed. This figure makes it stands out as an exclusive version due to the the whole figure sculpt is in stealth mode which has a totally different view from the original version.





I'm glad that GSC (Good Smile Company) announced another Nendoroid Saber to be released back in few months which later to be confirmed as the Nendoroid Saber Armor Super Movable Edition. Fate Saber has been one of the character that is overwhelming in any kind of scale figurine released in the market, so the same goes to the nendoroid version. I was somehow missed out the opportunity getting the Nendoroid Saber Lily during its release that's why i wouldn't make the same mistake twice. However, i do hope that GSC will make a re-issue for Saber Lily in coming future^^ it sure be nice to put both of them together:))
