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.

THE LUCKIEST PUPPET IN SESAME STREET.









Just look at the big smile on Elmo's face. You lucky red puppet, haha. If you guys been following news on Yahoo, there's a controversial video which involved superhot Katy Perry & supercute Elmo. Ok, off with your twisted dirty minded. Haha. Actually Katy shot a video clip of parody to her song "Hot & Cold" with Elmo for Sesame Street's 41st Season debut. She even tone down the lyrics for the show.


"You're up and you're down.. You're running around.. You're fast then you're slow.. You stop then you go".


But somehow parents got issue with her dressing. Well, it's Katy Perry. Dunno who's to blame because i thought there's a dress code/ethic for that kind of show. Especially the one that involved children. As a fully grown up adult, i dont think that her dress too revealing. But for children, it's not appropriate. But do you think those children really paying attention to all that? I mean Katy's dress? Elmo was here way longer than her. Hmm.. maybe. Kids nowadays, haha. Check out the video on Youtube. Can't upload here because my office block it.


Whatever it is, to parents out there.. you judge what's good for your children.


Cheers. :)

SANDTROOPER - THE VINTAGE COLLECTION (VC).

Finally got mine yesterday evening while doing my grocery shopping. Wave 2 just landed & they're fresh on the peg (all 12). What a luck, hehe. This is my 2nd VC figure. 1st is Darth Vader (foil card). Actually i just wanted to get a loose one. But since they're right in front of me.. hey, it's no brainer lah if i don't buy right? This guy will be keep carded & i need a starcase.

I'm not really into 2010 vintage figures because:

1) Prequel included. What?!
2) No starcase like VOTC.

Why did i bought this? Fyi, Sandtrooper never been made in the vintage line. The 1st one was POTF2 Green Card (1996). But some said it was released on Red Card 1st, then change to Green Card. So technically it's not a vintage. But it's a Kenner. Now that's why. A friend of mine said "buy because of the logo lah". Haha. Totally agreed with him.

TIGER ACE (OBERSTRUMFUHRER) - MICHAEL.

It's been a while since my last toy review. Now i'm back with a WW2 German soldier from DML (Dragon). Bought this on Ebay last month. I'm not really into WW2, but just recently got poison buy German soldiers from DML & DID. So i guess the tank commander is a kickstart for my WW2 collection, hehe.

He's wearing leather-like jacket (made of soft pvc) & overall inside. Boots are molded. The Swastika made of rubber.

MP40 with sling, adjustable buttstock & removable magazine.

Sauer 38H pistol (correct me if i'm wrong on this) with removable magazine & 2 hand grenades.

Field cap (molded), headphones & throat mic.

Working holster & belt.

For a figure released in 2000 & below RM200 price tag, i'm happy with it. The leather-like jacket is very nice. Gloves are also nicely done. I thought the MP40 is spring loaded, but it's not. Can't complaint that much since this is early generation of Dragon action figures (again, correct me if i'm wrong on this). The seller told me that the 3rd generation are better. You can get more details on weapon & accessories. Overall, it's a good action figure. :)

OUTSTATION HABIS SUDAH.

Jumaat lepas adalah last day aku outstation. Sejak dari bulan 6 tour 1 Malaysia.. well almost. Terengganu & Sarawak ja aku tak pegi. Best ka outstation? Hmm, once a while buat keja kat luar opis ok gak. Lagi pun Unit aku memang kena tour every year. So bagi aku best la pasal bleh jalan2. Sabah memang heaven. Ramai hot chick, haha. :P Tapi yang tak laratnya bila nak bayar bil hotel. "Battle damage" abis since aku takda credit card. Memang la bleh claim tapi time menunggu tu yang tak larat. Kalu awal, 2 weeks dah dapat. Kalu lewat, tunggu next gaji la. Hadoii!!..

Bil2 hotel yang merabakkan wallet aku. Ada lagi 2, 3 envelope tu. Damn.

Apa2 pun puas hati gak la. Terutama pasal makan. Dah 2 weeks in a row aku overdose seafood. Mula dari Kuantan, Sabah & Labuan. Dari ketam, udang, segala jenis ikan & siput apa tah yang kena korek guna toothpick tu. Memang layan, haha.

But the best part is, ada haul! Sempat gak aku beli Stray Dog - Kerberos Panzer Cops (DML) kat Ebay. Will review later. Dah lama tak shoot gambar toys ni malas la plak, hehe.

Segala penat, letih, tak cukup tido, tak cukup duit & lain2 berbaloi bila dapat ni. Kepuasan sebenar! :D



Choww.. :)

HAUL LEPAS BALIK DARI OUTSTATION.

2, 3 minggu ni aku agak busy. Last week kat Perlis & Kedah seminggu. Sebelum tu bercuti kat kampung, seminggu jugak. Actually aku bakal busy sampai bulan 8 ni pasal banyak outstation, huhu. Semalam lepak kat Amcorp setelah 2 minggu tak pi sana. Weekend yang cukup puas hati pasal akhirnya dapat apa yang dah lama aku nak/cari. Benda apa tu? Jom tengok.. :D



Comic Packs Darth Krayt & Sigel Dare. Beli kat One Toy for RM45 only, haha. Last time ada 1 set tapi aku tengah pokai. Semalam memang rezeki la.


Finally.. i got my VOTC 2006 UGH George Lucas in Stormtrooper Disguise. Dah lama sangat mengidam ni. Thanks to Aede pasai tolong bid kat Ebay UK & thanks to his girlfriend also pasai tolong hand carry dari sana. Save shipping, hehe. I got this for RM85 only. No mailer box but fine enough for me.

Mr. Lucas himself.

Button badges beli dari Fared. Ada lagi 1 design, helmet X-Wing pilot. Dapatkan segera dari kedai Heroes Apparel. 1 = RM4, 3 =RM10.


Entertainment Weekly issue bulan April. Beli kat Book Access for RM9.90 only.


Ni dia haul yang tak disangka2.. t-shirt Kick-Ass! Again, thanks to Aede. Beli dari Ebay jugak for RM75.

Done. :)

"SAVE THE PLANET, KILL YOURSELF".

The explosion of BP's offshore drilling rig at the Gulf of Mexico was a terrible disaster. A catastrophe. Oil continued to spill at a rate of about a thousand barrels a day. Environmentalists warned that "oil spills are extremely harmful to marine life when they occur and often for years or even decades later". I don't wanna know how it happened because i know things do happen. But BP better do something right & do it quick. These pictures tell a thousand words.

A bird is mired in oil on the beach.

A brown pelican covered in oil sits on the beach.

A brown pelican is mired in heavy oil on the beach.

A dead shark is seen laying in the surf as concern continues that the massive oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico may harm animals in its path.

An oil-covered crab is seen on an oil-impacted beach.

A dragonfly tries to clean itself as it is stuck to marsh grass covered in oil.

A dead sea turtle is seen laying on a beach.

A dolphin lies on dead on a beach in the Gulf of Mexico. Officials say that at least 6 dead dolphins have been found on the Gulf Coast since May 2.


It's not an alien invasion.. it's not the dinosaurs.. it's not even a monster that came out from the sea. But it's us.. human.

So please.... "kill yourself".

JUST A SMALL HAUL TO MAKE ME SMILE. :)

It's been a while since i last buy anything Star Wars. Not that i'm losing "The Force", but there's nothing out there to make me jump off my seat & be "faster than a speeding bullet" to get that something. On top of that, things that i really wanted are already out of sight. Missed the new version of Slave Leia, Dewback (Walmart exclusive) & Darth Krayt/Sigel Dare Comic Packs. We also won't be seing Darth Nihl because Comic Packs line was already cancelled. There goes my Legacy trio (Darth Krayt, Darth Talon & Darth Nihl). Damn you Hasbro.

But come this August there will be something for me. While other collectors are going gaga over the new AT-AT, i had my eyes only on Cloud Car. And i do have a "landing permit" this time, haha. :P Hopefully Jabba's Throne can make it to our shore too since it's another Walmart exclusive. Damn i hate exclusive. Ok then, here's what put a big smile on my face yesterday. :D




Bought this lot with a can't-resist-happily-ever-after price.. TLC Scout Trooper, TLC Snowtrooper & TLC Jawa (without Security Droid). All loose complete. Actually i already got all of 'em, except for the new cloth skirt Jawa. Just wanted to add some spice to my small collection, huhu. Well, they said the more the merrier right?





Pepsi Nex Bearbrick (2007). Thanks to bro Rockaholic for the buddy price, hehe.
