HAUL.. HAUL.. HAUL..

Lately aku agak aktif haul barang2 1/6. Tapi dalam skala kecil2an la. Control budget bro. Tak nak jadi cam last time dah. Haul tak ingat dunia sampai end up kena jual balik. So this time kena behave, hehe.

Ni aku consider haul penutup tahun 2010 (harap2 la :P). US Navy SEAL UDT (Underwater Demolition Team). Memang dah lama teringin. 2 bulan lepas ada kat Ebay tapi nak guna duit masa tu. Berkat kesabaran, last week muncul kembali. Tak kasi chance dah, buy it now terus. Hahaha! :D


With night vision goggles (from DML DEVGRU Night Ops - Shane). NVG aku beli asing. Weapon asal MP5 tapi seller tukar ngan G36.


US Army in Afghanistan from Very Hot. I love Multicam! I'm totally sold for this one.


Straydog Kerberos Panzer Cops from DML. A reissue with new head sculpt. Murah & berbaloi. Rugi la kalau tak beli, haha.



Loose accessories.


The Force is still strong in me.. POTJ AT-ST & Imperial Speeder Bike with Paploo. What can i say, i'm a sucker for OT. Especially with POTF/POTJ/OTC packing. Sold Paploo to my friend since i don't collect Ewok anymore.



That's all for now. Cheers. ;)

SIVAJI THE BOSS VS. MACHETE.

Fuhh.. dah lama tak update. Lately memang malas gila + tak tau apa nak update. Actually ada ja bahan. Haul ada gak skit. Tapi bila nak amik gambar yang.. hadoi. Malas nak cerita la. Tengok, malas lagi. Haha. :P

Semalam aku layan dvd Machete for the 2nd time. Sakit perut gelak. Cerita B grade tahap bengong. Takyah pikir banyak, gelak ja. Haha. Pas abis layan aku terpikir.. apa jadi kalau Sivaji & Machete team-up atau versus? Sapa paling hebat? Fyi, both are my favourite "superheroes". :P Mesti filem tu akan jadi showdown of the century. Captain America? Thor? Batman? Nahh.. semua tu fiksyen semata2. But Sivaji & Machete, now that's the real thing. Even better than the real thing. Way more better, haha.

So dalam keadaan ngantuk & bosan ni aku list down kekuatan/kelemahan Sivaji & Machete. Mari kita tengok sapa yang kena!




Sivaji.



Yang Hebat:
1) Software Engineer. Kira kat Chennai tu dia la paling genius.
2) Pandai menari tarian tradisional ngan orang kampung.
3) Pandai main alat muzik terutama gitar.
4) Semua perempuan suka. Dia hanya perlu senyum sambil pusing kepala bagi rambut berterbangan skit.
5) Pemimpin yang berkarisma. Semua orang suka. Tapi kalau ada orang nak apa2kan dia.. seluruh Chennai akan bermandikan darah!

Paling hebat:
1) Baling gula2 masuk dalam mulut.
2) Baling syiling ke atas pastu bagi masuk dalam poket seluar. Aku penah try tapi tak jadi. Ni bermakna dia memang hebat!
3) Pusing spek mata dari belakang kepala ke depan tanpa guna tangan atau sebarang alat bantuan. Dia cuma pusing kepala ja.

Yang Tak Hebat:
1) Rambut blonde tak bleh blah.


Aksi muka ganas gila.




Aksi jiwang.


Aksi serba boleh.



1 Malaysia? 1 Chennai daa..



Machete.



Yang Hebat:
1) Bekas Agen Persekutuan.
2) Suka tolong orang, pemurah & dermawan. Duit upah (USD 150K) untuk bunuh Senator dia derma untuk "orang kampung".
3) Dia ni pun semua perempuan suka. Tak perlu senyum pun pasal sepanjang cerita memang dia tak senyum.
4) Juga seorang pemimpin yang berkarisma. Dia cuma perlu angkat tangan sambil pegang parang.

Paling Hebat:
1) Pistol? Senapang? Tak main la. Guna parang (machete) ja.
2) Pakar senjata. Mesin rumput pun dia guna untuk belasah orang.

Yang Tak Hebat:
1) Tak tau guna sms ("Machete don't text").


Aksi ganas seorang pakar senjata.





Aksi seorang pemimpin.



Machete gets the girls.






So who's the winner? Who's the ultimate i'm-the-man-womanizer-superhero-don't-f**k-with-me? Saingan memang sengit. Kalau LOTR bleh sampai 3+ jam, filem Sivaji & Machete maybe bleh sampai 5 jam! Haha. Apa pun aku harap one day Robert Rodriguez & S. Shankar will consider this. My dream movie. :P

RACCOON POLICE DEPARTMENT S.T.A.R.S TACTICAL VEST & SHIRT FROM DRAGON.

After been thinking for about 2 months, i finally decided to buy it. Now i can start to kitbash my Biohazard/Resident Evil theme, hehe. This is from Dragon (DML) Biohazard Code: Veronica series. I think it came out in 2001/02.




Why 2 months? Actually the vest & shirt were sold in set with a pair of camouflage pants, belt, holster with Glock, pouch, canteen, Maglight with pouch, boots & throat mic with radio. All that for RM75 (!). The only original part from Chris Redfield are belt, holster with Glock & boots & i only wanted the vest & shirt. Well.. win some lose some. I know HT vest is way better but i don't want to pay a ridiculous price for that on Ebay. So DML is good enough for me.





The vest is nicely done but a bit small. I tried on HT TT body & it look tight. There're 5 pouches but none of 'em can fit any magazine. Maybe they're utilities pouches. But i can always fill any of it with shotgun shells. No big deal at all, hehe.


Here's my work in progress.. S.T.A.R.S officer. This is my own version. So it may not look like from any of the video game series. Still looking for some parts.. black long sleeves t-shirt, holster, drop leg MP5 mag pouch, gas mask bag, knife, knee pads & grenades. Already bought ACE combat boots online.







Stay tuned. :)

HERMI ODLE.

Series: 30th Anniversary Collection (TAC).
Year: 2007.



I have to confess.. this is the the ugliest action figure i have in my collection. Not even the "you're one ugly motherfucker" Predator can top this, haha. But ain't everybody in Jabba's Palace are ugly?








"Hunchback of Notradame". :P


Accessory: A vibro axe.


Hermi Odle is great being the 1st time made into action figure. The details are awesome. The articulations not that much but fair enough. He got swivel neck, wrist, waist & hips, ball jointed shoulders & ankles. Even the jaw can be open. The best touch Hasbro made was the cloth cape & scarft. I really dig that.

AMANAMAN WITH SALACIOUS CRUMB.

Series: Power Of The Jedi - Fan's Choice Figure No. 2.
Year: 2001.


Here's another bounty hunter for you. This is a nice figure even without that much articulation. He only got ball jointed arms. The paintjob is good.






Accessories: Staff with human skulls & human skeleton.




Amanaman came with Salacious Crumb, which i considered a bonus figure since i don't have his 1st released with Oola (POTF2 Fan Club Exclusive).

If you're a Bounty Hunter collector, then you must get this figure.

BIB FORTUNA - THE SAGA COLLECTION.

With the purchase of Jabba's Throne recently (which i haven't open yet), it triggered me to do a review on Jabba's gang aka whoever inside the Jabba's Palace. I still missing a few figures to complete the gang. But will try to do whatever i have. So Jabba 101 class start today. :P

I start with Jabba's right hand man. This is the 2nd Bib Fortuna released in modern line. The 1st one was POTF2 & then reissued in OTC. SAGA version is better because Bib looks slimmer & of course the sculpt is good. Articulations are basic. Ball jointed head, swivel elbow & wrist. I think it's good enough since all he did was standing next to Jabba.

Series: SAGA.
Year: 2006.






Accessory: a dagger which can fit into his belt.


"Dey wanna wonga"




Since the Vintage Collection is back, i guess Hasbro will include Bib in the series. Give him a cloth cloack, add some articulations & that will hit the spot.

DARTH VADER (FOIL CARD) - THE VINTAGE COLLECTION.

Picked up this guy yesterday. Thanks to Fared who bought for me during my Raya holiday. It's the only VC foil card that i want. Others i'll pass. I noticed this version missing a hilt from the original VOTC. Less 1 accessory huh. That is so Hasbro. And i don't want to start on the starcase (bring back starcase for Vintage Collection!).




The foil.


Where's my hilt?


As for the already listed VC figures, my next will be Wooof & Gamorrean Guard. Hope can get a loose one.

Wooof - need him to complete my Jabba's Skiff guard.



Gamorrean Guard - additional to my Jabba's bodyguard.
