Nike is releasing a new line called Nike Snowboarding. Heavily modeled after their iconic AF1 model. hypebeast.com reports that Nike is promoting itwith toy boots that bears the same look of the actual thing, after lookin at pictures from kicksonfire, I like to think those toys are lookin very 1/6th scale (am I alone on tis?)
Many thanx to the Birdman for deliverin the Legacy Collection Millennium Falcon to my place. Tis bird it is huge!
The biggest Millennium Falcon toy so far! The pictures still fails to show how big it really is; Check out all the amazing close up picts & review @ the Toy Haven
Still bleedin form Saturday, but tats no reason to stop. Got myself some new releases & some oldies but goodies.
Revoltech #61 Jin Roh Protect Gear: Nice finishin, fabric area = matt, armor area = gloss, simple & effective, but many toys makers have gotten it so wrong. He must be wearing the wrong shoes! I felt his footwear aretoo small, gives him the chicken feet look!All the weapons colour should have been in gun metalvs the silver colour now currently. Not the best of articulation coming from Revoltech. The loops tat holds up the shoulder armor gets in the way,a solution would be to thin it down with a cutter.The tube tat runs along the arm is too short, it popped outwhen I try to bend the elbow fully. Softer & more rubberized material was used for the lower body, allowing the figure to crouch down, smart! Far from Revoltech's standards tat we come to know, guess I have to put off the idea of getting a team of them...
Nike Terminator Supreme - White / Gold: Nike Terminator Supremes originally hit shelves in 1985 (the first year of the Air Jordan Production). Originally released as a basketball sneaker for many college teams, & now Nike will re-release this all time favorite in a white/gold colorway. This colour-way was release exclusively on August 2 at Atmos in Japan. Glad I got mine locally via LeftFoot. White kicks never top my list, but when you put some bling on it,it turns to gold!
Takara 勇者王ガオガイガー Cyborg Guy (Shishioh): Cyborg Guy is based on the Takara Henshin Cyborg body, maybe the only 12" figure tats from the The King of Braves GaoGaiGar anime. Hesitated getting it when it was first released, I have been lookin for it since then, & am I glad to have found it at the fleamarket for SGD$19, tho' not MISB, but I am just as happy!
Cyborg Guy is equipped with Ultimate Armor, Will Knife & a light upchest (un-tested yet) which is suppose to be a G-Stone-powered mechanical heart, keeping him alive and giving him superhuman strength.
Hot Toys Weapons M60: Finally got me the long barrel version!
Revoltech #52 Lazengann: One sleek mecha from Gurren Lagann, so sleek is fit for a king! The Lazengann is Lord Genome's personal Gunman. It is very similar to the Gurren-Lagann and has the same abilities that the Lagann can use. However, it is much stronger and can use more powerful drill techniques.Lovely form! Revoltech #26 EVA-Mass: Oldie but goodie! Too bad the normal version did not come with any weapons.But those wings are just amazing!
Lots of red coulour this week... Revoltech 天元突破 Gurren Lagann Drillized version. Lots of drill tats sharp & surprisingly strong enuff to hold its shape, totally not child safe toy, tats why every child out there should have one :)
I gave in... I bought the restock wave of Hasbro's Ironman figures, there was no MK1 this time around tho', neither did i see any Titanium Man either
Varian of Ironman proto-type, with the mask on!? Tot i found a gem, but turn out they are all over the other stores :( I guess is the new packing for the restock wave
& a Blythe cutie, hopefully she will be customized into something else real soon :)
I was able to get some pictures of a"Death from Above" proto-type by SBTG + PHU. My friend got it @ luv price from SBTG, lucky bastard! The final product of "Death from Above" was on Air Force 1, but the test proto-type here is on a pair of dunks! Yeah! Personally I would have preferred the produced "Death from Above" to have been on a pair of dunk over the AF1 anytime!
CBT (Very Hot) Tyncorp PMC set: My 1st VH set, & I was pretty please with wat I got! I luv the smell of the paint! cant stop smellin it Decent job of the vest set, which is the highlight of tis set. Stiching is ok with room for improvement tho. Vest & belt has velcro on rubber backing, I found tat they only made the whole vest thicker. There is a fair bit of details inside the vest, but none will be seen once it is on the figure. Luv the 2 water carrier on the back! Rest of the gear is decent to average, the boots being the throw away item, why didnt VH included the lace up ones from their last release? You get 4 extra mag clips for 2x M4 mag pouches tat will hold 8 clips. Enuff M203 rounds to fill up all the loops! Overall the velcro used in this whole set is to thick. Helmet strap needs a total redo! No "real" pistol holster! I like the cutting & patterns of the pants, a lot of details vs the "unknown" brand tat i have. I prefer the colour of VH vs the "unknown" brand, (see picts below) tho it would have been perfect if it was more of a tan shade. I guess tat will be easily fixed with a tan/buff paint wash!
Ironman Cosbaby: Got the 3 masked Ironman, hope to display them along side the HT 12", so finger cross for HT to produce Ironman MK1
Revoltech Yotsuba Summer Vacation Set: She is too cute to miss & my muffin wanted it too!
... & Star Wars Legacy Collection Millennium Falcon: 30% percent larger than the old one, so I left it at the shop, will carry it back later tis week!
Nike Vandal High Supreme EX. Metal Pack: Got tis unique looking Nike Vandal last week, (part 1/2) of the Nike Metal Pack. Tis kick feature a black upper along with gold accents, as well as studs across the shoe. It is said there was a guitar pick hung on the shoe as well; but I did not find any in the box :( Got to luv the wooden lookin soles! This is a Nike’s Fall 2008 general release. Next up is the Terminator Metal Pack. Cant wait! Nike Dunk High Premium 1 Piece - Green (Seafoam/Chlorophyll): The Nike Dunk High Premium 1 Piece means what it says - ONE piece. seamless upper tats entirely ONE piece. A special feature is its vintage/retro look which would go lovely with some stone washed faded denims. Released back in Feb 08, I waited till it was on 20% marked down. Too many kicks & too little $$$! I guess for tis is one of those kicks tat either you luv it or you hate it!
