Amazing illustration by Dustin Nguyen (22" x 15", 300lb softpress watercolor) Dustin Nguyen did a Marvel super-deformed awhile back too I think they will make great posters for any toy room! (& lovely desktop pictures too)
Finally is here? Finally I can get them in toy form? Tis morning, together with neoconvoyI have place my order for the 1st wave release (of San-Dai-Oh & Boss-Palder) & my fingers are crossed! I guess not many people know of the Machine Blasterer, in short another japanese macha anime from the early 80s, while Macross was on air in Singapore, I only had Machine Blasterer in Malaysia; & it was dubbed in malay: "Tempei berhati-hati!!" But I only got to watch the last 5 mins after rushing home from school, many times i only manage to catch the closing theme song :( I am glad neoconvoy wants it as much as me, then again, neoconvoy wants every single toy...
Picked up this TFA Dinobot from my fav toy store yesterday afternoon, here are a few quick shots of it! I can't seem to get the dino head to sit nicely into the chest slot, will have to play around it a bit more. His power club looks a bit different from pictures i have seen via collectors in Hong Kong.
Serene got me this green Pastel chair from the O&M office re-renovation & anembroidered cap from Andrew on his LA trip, great stuff & excellent for my mid life crisis!
Finally my Nike x St. Pauli Hi Dunk is here! My most expensive Dunk so far! Many of you will ask what the fuck is tis St. Pauli??? Surprisingly it is not a hip fashion line nor a hot designer, but a Hamburg soccer club currently in the German Bundesliga division 2 Nike along with FC St. Pauli has produced a Dunk Pack to show the rebel notoriety that the club is known for. Consisting of a Nike Dunk Hi and Dunk Lo, the Dunk Hi comes,in black the Dunk Lo in white with both featuring unique imagery and tagging. The use of premium leathers, suede, ostrich skin on the swoosh and woven laces will make both of these Dunks highly sought after. The fans adopted the skull and crossbones as their logo in the 1980's and that along with their actual team logo (found on the white Lo Dunk) have been a staple in every jersey.
The Nike x FC St. Pauli Dunk Pack was released in mid May. The white Lo Dunk (limited to 250) was released exclusively in Germany, Austria and Switzerland. While The Dunk High was available in other European countries (limited to 500).
NEW addition! Nike Zoom Air Dunkesto Mix-Match (a gift from my muffin) Dunk + Presto = Dunkesto. The mashup has yielded not only comfort but some almost limitless possibilities on the design front. Because the toe box is created from the stretchy spandex-like material, a lots of different prints can be achieved which would be much more difficult with leather or nubuck. This Dunkestos features an uppers that is a mix of different camou patterns.
Nike Dunk Mid Pro SB - Donatello - TMNT Based on the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle character. The colorway features a combination of baroque brown/radiant green with a touch of purple. CAWABANGA!
Nike Dunk Low Pro SB - Guns N Roses (Appetite for Destruction) Nike's Skateboarding (Nike SB) 2008 March line up. Theme inspired by the album cover of Guns N Roses’ 1987 debut album “Appetite for Destruction” which reached No. 1 on the United States Billboard 200 and sold 27 million copies worldwide. The colorway features an anthracite / deep violet color-way with a red sole sitting on a black midsole, a vibrant violet Nike Swoosh, the use of leather, suede and a bright gradient patent leather makeup. No better pair of kicks to be seen in the urban jungle!
Nike Vandal High Supreme Vintage - Black / Gold The colorway features black / gold. The nylon upper which definitely gives the shoe a more vintage look, along with gold accents, and a discolored midsole which is alway good idea for that old skool look.
Nike Dunk Low Premium SB - Space Tiger (Randy Colvin) The inspiration behind this masterpiece comes from the famous Randy Colvin’s “World Industries” Velvet Deck which was first released back in 1991. Fairly interesting deck for the time as it had black velvet flocking on it and glowed in black light. The shoes also feature a black / yellow ochre color-way along with a some tiger print accents as well as space pattern on the side panels and toe boxes.
