Centurions

Kenner's 1986 Centurions (Max Ray, Ace McCloud & Jake Rockwell) .. ooooo it really brings back my childhood memories. I remember my Cousin used to be Jake, my neighbour was Ace and i had no choice but to be Max. But somehow, i kinda like Max from the others ... dont ask me why ... is it because of the green outfit or because he looks like Tom Selleck (hahaha) .. i dont know.

Damn ... should have spelled "Power Xtreme" without the "e" ... duuhh!!

X: Seduction

Introducing the Hasbro StarWars Legacy collection X-Wing Starfighter with Wedge Antilles + droid. This fighter is the symbol of the Rebellion. Its was made famous when the Rebels attacked and destroyed the Death Star and when Luke Skywalker crash landed in search of Yoda. Too bad that this X-wing isnt the one with Luke in it ... aaarrgg!

I was on duty in KB-land of the whole week last week. Nothing much to do, so spend most of the time watching dvds. But atleast i had time to finish up on Lion-O custom.

Still need to do some minor touch-up on Lion-O. Still not happy with the face and belt. Also, didnt finish my Panthro custom ... maybe this weekend lah.

Speeder Owners Group

A bit disappointed with the Hoth speeder bikes coz they dont collapse or dismantle like the old Endor speeder (to simulate collision/accident to the speeder) by a press of a button. Speeders are one of my favorite vehicles since i was a kid .... i can still remember Luke Skywalker being chase by the troopers in the battle of Endor .. that has to be one of the best scene in all the Star Wars series.

Above: 1997 Kenner + Hasbro Speeder bike with Princes Leia. I should have gotten the 1996 Luke Skywalker speeder bike as well. AArrggg!!

Millennium Falcon

Finally got my Millennium Falcon! ... one word to describe the Falcon, its HUGE!!!! This is the new Hasbro SW Legacy version and its at least 30% bigger than the old Kenner version. The original Kenner M.Falcon toy designer, Mark Boudreaux, was brought in by Hasbro to re-design this iconic ship ... and i think he did a good job of it. The Falcon consist of several bays/cabin - Training bay, Medical bay and the cockpit. Also included is the small shuttle ship which fits nicely on the side. I was impressed with all the gadget and lights that the Falcon possessed - the boarding ramp automatically opens complete with lights and sound effects, booster/hyperdrive & engine start-up sound & light effects,  movie phrases (i.e. conversation between Han Solo and Chewbacca, etc) ... all this with a press of buttons located all over the ship. 

As what Han Solo said "She may not look like much, but she's got it where it counts, kid"

NKOTB - New Kid On The Blog

Introducing the new kid on the blog ... Mr. Bokz. 

My first full custom 3"action figure. Used all body parts from Wolverine Weapon-X. Hand-Made the Boba Fett helmet, flip-flops and shorts. Took me all night to paint Mr.Bokz coz i kept on smudging it. Note to self - let paint dry before adding second layer and make sure fingers are clean from paint to avoid getting unwanted marks on figure.

Custom Fever

Got myself some Epoxy Putty and some other weathering kit today. Been thru some "how to custom your figures" tutorial online. Some are quite easy to do. I think the key to customizing are getting the right parts and your sculpting skills. I got a few characters/figures in mind that i want to make, but i haven't found the right parts for it yet. 

Guess which action figure i'm trying to make ...?? :)

Custom: Weathering

Trying out my hands on customizing my figures. Got myself a weathering kit, this basically makes the figure look like its worn out. The weathering kit should work wonders on vehicles, especially on Transformers. 

Cant really see the weathering effect on the Viper above (ada lah sikit, banyak sudah ku taruh tu), but good enough. I know at this moment Spidey is testing out his first custom as well. He's going for a complete makeover .. i wont spoil the surprise, let Spidey do the unveiling. Saw a preview of it from his Tweet ... looks pretty awesome. i like! hehe.

Nephew's collections

Paid a visit to my mum's house and checked out my nephews' toys ... he's really into Transformers, Nerf and Bionicle. But only recently, he is now into Star Wars Lego. I was just talking to Spidey the other day that i wanted the Lego SW characters but not the vehicles and now i see my nephew actually playing with them ... those mini troopers are sooo cool.

(Below) I call this "the Paperbots". This was made by my nephew ... and its made out of PAPER!!! How cool is that!! He showed a similar one to me a couple of months ago, but it was just a normal paper robot (but good articulation ... i was already impressed back then) ... but the one shown below literally blew my head off, coz it can actually TRANFORM into a jet fighter. Just freakin awesome!! I asked him to make another one that looks like a SW Trooper. If its as awesome as this .. then i'll ask him to make me 20 more .. hahaha nothing wrong with child labour for making toys right??? hehe

Out on the Hunt

Went Toy-Hunting with Spidey on saturday. We started of late, but .... lets just say that we hunted till there's no more bullets left. Visited GOFI6UER @ the Mall, we were fortunate that Mr.GoFigure himself was there .. and he told me great news that made me smile from ear to ear (lets just say that hopefully in 2 weeks time one my wishlist item will be fulfilled. Btw Congrats on the opening of your shop Mr.G.F.... may the force be with you.

Next we went to one of the local baby shop to check on the clones coz we complaint last week that the price tag was wrong (2x usual price). We found out that the price was still the same, so we complain again. After a few minutes of waiting (~20 mins), the supplier & shop supervisor finally clarified and apologized for their mistake. Yeay!! 

We were almost on our way home, then Spidey pop the question "u sure u dont want to go to the mall again and watched B.Fett and Vader parading at GoFi6ure?" ... guess whats my answer was .... So off we went.

So all and all .. ammo depleted, body tired, but it was a great hunting day.

(Above) Clone Commander Thire and Yoda - SW Clone Wars. Commander Thire job was to protect Yoda during a mission to the Toydarian system. I guess he's good at it coz Yoda is still alive.

(Left to Right) Clone Trooper Denal, Clone Commander Thire and Clone Trooper Echo from SW Clone Wars. I just realize that they looked similar. I wonder if they are brothers or the missing triplets from John & Kate +8? They also reminded me of the 80's british boy band "BROS" hahhaaha.

(Below) Captain Rex & Echo. After Echo's first battle with commando droids, Captain Rex marks Echo's armor with the blood of a vicious creature that had attacked them; the bloody handprint is Rex way of recognizing Echo's transition from a "shiny" to a seasoned warrior.

(Below) Commander Gree - SW Clone Wars. He leads the Elite Corps and his armor bears the distinct markings of the 41st Elite Corps, a unit he nicknamed "Green Company".

(Below) Captain Argyus - SW Clone Wars. He's a member of the Senate Guard. He assisted in the transportation of captured Separatist leader Nute Gunray. But Argyus has a secret agenda that will jeopardize the successful completion of this important mission. ... hhmm i wonder whats his secret? Anyway, he kinda reminded me of the movie Gladiator coz of his Roman style helmet. 

Uniquely Blue ..
