Ted Chen Collection

I knew Ted for quite some time. Always meet him when I drop by David's shop during lunch time. Ted is a huge Hot Toys fan and he loves military figures too. Therefore, he has lots of 12inch figures at home. As a huge 12inch fan like myself, I requested him to take some photos of his collection and share with us :)

Toy Carnival at Suntec from 27 to 29 May 2011

Similar to prior year, you would see some familiar faces in the event.

As I know Dave pretty well, he was not afraid of posing for my photo shoot. I guess Action City was the "big winner" of 2011 toy carnival as it finished selling all the Hot Toys "Mark VI" exclusive figures.

The left above is the model for aika.asiasoftsea.net (click to see 2010 model here) and Movie Mania was there.


As usual, took some photos on the cosplayers and I found some new faces this time round.

Besides offering "free" coffee, Nescafe organised some gaming programs to public.

If you won against that female player "Chun Li" (in the right above), you would get yourself a goodie bag from the organiser.

Medicom "Jango Fett" in Geonosis Version

Obviously, the difference between the earlier version and Geonosis version is the colour of the outfit. This one is purple colour and the earlier one is blue. I am surprise the colour paint of the helmet remains as blue. When putting his helmet on, the overall appearance looks a "little weird" to me. Anyway, I will pose this figure on shelf. My part 2 review is here.

Hot Toys "Iron Man Mark VI"

My Hot Toys "Mark VI" finally arrived last two weeks. I have checked all light-up features of the figure and everything looks fine. Will take more photos and display it on shelves soon :)

Sideshow "Commander Cody" 212th Attack Battalion

Got the Sideshow 1/6 scale "Commander Cody" early this week. I was very pleased when I saw the actual product. There are tons of accessories come with the figure including two helmets and one human head. The figure is amazing with fantastic paint work and weathering. The helmets are well sculpted and I have no issue with the weapons. I guess the "usual" complain for Sideshow figures is still their loose joints :)

My photo was stolen...

I often visit Toysdaily Forum and Toy World Forum for latest news about any 1/6 scale release. A few days ago, I was shocked when browsing through Toy World Forum. Someone named STEAMBOY used my photo to support his repaint work without asking my permission or link the photo back to my blog. He even inserted his blog address in the bottom of the photo (original photo of mine). Though this is just a simple photo, I just feel it is a basic courtesy to ask for the owner’s permission or at least do a link back to the owner. He is obviously not a rookie for blogging. He should know the "so-called" rules when posting any photos that are belonged to others in his blog or forum.

WWE "Sheamus" Mattel Elite Series 8

Similar to Drew McIntyre in Elite Series 8, I love the championship belt as it is pretty well made. Unfortunately the front circle piece with WWE logo cannot be rotated. The head sculpt did resemble "Sheamus" but facial likeness is "okay" only. Anyway, I am still pleased with the over all paint job on the figure :)

WWE "Drew McIntyre" Mattel Elite Series 8

This is the second McIntyre figure I got for my wrestling collection. I like the Intercontinental Championship belt that comes with the figure. It is definitely a well made accessory. You may see my first McIntyre figure here.
