More to come

I know I have a lot of catching up in terms of action figure reviews. But just because I've been quiet doesn't mean I have stopped buying. The purchasing part is still constant each month. It's the opening, reviewing and blogging thats a bit difficult at the moment.

As usual, Star Wars is still on top of my list of things to get. I still have these unopened.

4 vehicles : Obi Wan's Starfighter, Trade Federation AAT, General Grievous Starfighter & Anakin's Starfighter.

Clone Trooper Jek, Jedi Nahdar Vebb & Commander Stone(don't mind the Star Case, it's just temporary)

An Evolutions pack: Vader's Secret Apprentice from the Force Unleashed video game.

And of course with the new Iron Man 2 movie coming up, the shelves are packed with IM2 figures. I've only grabbed these 2 but hopefully more are coming. There are some minor paint app issues with the figure so I'm taking my time picking through them.
Last but not least, I found this at TRU. A Marvel Legends two pack. It is Captain America and I'm a sucker for any Captain America merchandise *sigh*.I'm not sure which to open first. Maybe I should wait until I've gotten all the IM2 figures...

The World Breaker has arrived!!

I just finished watching this movie. For those who have read the comic I'm guessing you'll want to bitch about the many changes made in the movie. For those who haven't, I'm hoping you'll want to read the graphic novel after you've seen this. Personally, I found it entertaining. Not 'great' but just so-so because I wanted it to be longer. Anyway check it out guys.

Update : Competition

First and foremost I'd like to thank all that have submitted for the competition. I purposely did not put a result date because I was not sure when I could really sit down and have a good look at all the pics submitted. Tentatively I'm looking at the 28th December to announce the 4 winners(names and pics will be posted here). Yes I said 4. There will be 2 spots for 2nd runner up. Yay!! I will contact all the winners via email to confirm which prizes they choose. And in case you're wondering, the Winner will of course have the honour of selecting then 1st runner up will select from the remaining prizes and so on.

I'm in the middle of doing some last minute preparations to go back to Brunei on the 26th. Hopefully all the winners could meet up with me to collect their prizes. Cheers and stay tune to this blog for the results.

Things to look out for in 2010

We all know that the movie, Iron Man 2 will be coming out next year. This of course, will also mean we will get to see cool action figures. Hasbro will be doing a majority of the distribution and there has been pictures and news that most of the I.M.2 line by Hasbro will be in the 3 3/4" scale. Personally, I don't have a problem with this. In fact the ways things are going with the increase in cost of goods I expect that this is the size where action figures are headed to in the near future.

What surprised me is that Diamond Select Toys are also releasing a Marvel Select figure based on the I.M.2. It will be in their usual 7"-ish scale. From the pic it looks very, very promising. They did a decent job on Logan based on the X-Men Origins: Wolverine movie(I'll put up the pics soon).


And there is more good news! DST is also doing War Machine!! The bad news is that these figures are expected to come out May 2010. But it's something to really to look out for. To pre-order yours click here.
