Hottoys Bruce Lee








First Bruce Lee 1/6 scale figurine from Hottoys. Ah... finally.

Comparing this to Enterbay version, I would prefer the new Hottoys version, price alone is so much affordable. With the accessories and diorama that imitate the mirror room in the fight scene between Bruce Lee and Shih Kien (石坚), Hottoys really take detail into consideration.

Below is the fight scene in youtube


Just wish take Bruce Lee have the skin type feature like King Leonidas.

Will Hottoys produce Han/Shih Kien (石坚) from Enter the Dragon?

A must have for Bruce Lee fans!

Transformers Classic Universe 3 Pack




Finally we got a glimpse on the upcoming highly anticipated reissue (or more like a repaint) of the classic Galvatron, Cyclonus and Rodimus

Galvatron and Cyclonus color scheme not bad. Cyclonus look much better than original Hasbro release greyish version. For those fans who hope for reissue of the Rodimus, there is some turn off here, look at the window and you know what I mean. If you really miss out on the Classic Rodimus mold, maybe a better alternative is to get the Son of Cybertron set.

This item expected to release 30 July 2010

Gaiking GDX-01


My first Japan super robot mecha toy, Gaiking by MOST WANTED. I come across the toy when I was shopping at a toy shop at Hong Kong airport. Now I don't really watch the anime. Bandai did come out with a SOC version, and CM Corp with smaller version. The box deco looks similar to the Bandai SOC packaging, and it is heavy! Wihout any background study, I decided to pick up the toy.

On to the first shot.How tall is he? About 14 inch from head to the feet. And he is solid. Articulation point on the shoulder, elbow, hips, knee, feet knuckle.

He come with accessories as below


He looks great with his shield and axe

and he can hold his spear with both hands

Overall, he is a great figure. His feet is heavy giving him low center of gravity point, and so easy to pose. The minus point is the rust on the screws and springs, suspect that production did not treat the metal part, or using a lower grade screw.

Back to the anime. It was aired on 1976-1977, produced by Toei. A sequel was created on 2005 in the name Gaikng Legend of Daiku-Maryu. I just watch the first episode on the sequel, and gotta find the DVD version for this anime. Is kinda hard to come by as it is not really a popular anime.


Final shot together with Alternator Rodimus for size comparison. Thanks flashout for borrowing me his lightbox and Alternator Rody for the photo sessions.

Transformers Alternity Convoy Red

This is my first Transformers figure. Back to those days in the 80's, I love Transformers animation but I never got a chance to own a figure. Now a grown up man in his 30 plus, I finally buy a Transformers toy for myself.

Here is Convoy, better known as Optimus Prime in the Transformers Alternity line. This is official product design and produce by Takara Tomy Japan.


What trigger my instinct and desire to own this figure is that it is a GTR R35 in alternate mode. I am a GTR fan! Here comparing the Nissan GTR and the recreation in 1:32 scale by Takara Tomy.




The figure represent the original car quite well. Only the gap line is the minus here. Another two more shot of the figure as below





Now on to the robot mode.






For the Transformers Generation 1 fans, this new design of Optimus Prime is unconventional. Some hardcore fans feel the new look does not represent Convoy well, but to me, the design team from Takara Tomy just give Convoy a new life.

Articulation wise, this figure is superb, but the back heavy issue due to die cast material can cause poseability issue.

A highly recommended figure, and you can get this piece now (Q2 2010) in the market around RM250. Compare to the early 2009 when I got it at RM170, is a "bull market" on this item.
