Figma Hiiragi Tsukasa

Hiiragi Tsukasa is one of my favourite Lucky Star characters and it was nice to finally be able to obtain a figure of her. I’ve looked through several online stores and all of them are out of stock and resorted to buying from Ebay instead.

Another Get…?

This time round, could it be a 12-pack carton of coffee-flavoured CRISP CRUNCH???

Over a year old! / Get…?

Just realised I’m several weeks late – this blog is over a year old already! I just looked at my first few entries and most of them were pretty much just news snippets of upcoming toys. So for the blog, I hope I can continue sharing reviews of toys and Gundam models, and possibly increase my skills if I ever have the time to build them. Right now I’m in the midst of mid-term tests, and having not gone through education and examinations for almost 3 years, has made this a very taxing period. I cleared 2 insanely tough tests already; one more looms this Saturday and another in mid-October.

Anyway, it’s too late for celebratory photos, but what is this box doing on my desk?

I wonder what lies inside it…

Microman Micro Sister Orga

The Micro Sister series from Takara’s Microman line brings a new base body that is even smaller than the average Microman figure. This series contains female figures with many accessories which use a 3mm port to allow for mixing and matching of weapon combinations.

Microman Magneforce Magnemicroman Icurus

Long name aside, Takara’s Microman series is a long-running toy line of which its history has some relation to other, more familiar action figure lines. In the 2000’s, before the introduction of Revoltech, Figma, SH Figuarts or even newer Souchaku Henshin series, Microman was probably considered the de facto standard for highly-articulated action figures. Sadly, it has since been overtaken by these toy lines which offer comparable poseability, licensed characters and superior (or more consistent) quality.

My First Online Purchase

My first online purchase was a few sale items from HLJ. I wanted to see if I successfully set up a Paypal account, and decided that since there were some items that were really cheap, I could buy one and see if the transaction worked. That was last Monday.

This week, I found this box.

Transformers ROTF Leader Class Optimus Prime

So I went overboard and bought a Leader Class Optimus Prime along with the previously reviewed Bumblebee.

Transformers ROTF Deluxe Bumblebee

I had an incurable urge to buy a toy since the day I was emancipated. I bought a laptop for school last Sunday which didn’t help. Today, I ended up spending some more money on a Deluxe Class Bumblebee and a Leader Class Optimus Prime. Anonymous on a certain board on the internets advised on other characters such as Sideswipe, Depthcharge or Ransack, but I couldn’t find Sideswipe at the department store I went to and ended up digging through the shelves for Bumblebee. I like the Bayformer shredded-metal look on some of the characters so the movie toys appealed more to me than the other Transformers toy lines.
