8" Zombie Pet Dunny

Got this Zombie Pet Dunny last week. It is in light blue painted with Glow In the Dark (GID) sticker paints. The boxed also with GID Sticker all over. Not really exciting though, but add to my GID toys. After I off the light each night, those GID toys will give out a soothing ghastly glow. Really relaxing to see them slowly fade away before sleeping.

Iron Man Rocks!!

Iron man really fulfilled all my expectations. Although the story a bit draggy in the 1st half, it is necessary to show how Tony Stark developed the suit step by step. The development not be shown in normal comic form, and was perfectly shown in the movie. Stay on after the end credits, there will be a surprise waiting for you.

Below is the Iron man Statue I bought in January. Cost a BOMB!! Although it is not the "original" with numbering, but a fix up garage kit. The paint they used on this is superior than the original, the finishing too they used those for normal cars. I basically can wash this baby under running water.

How I spent on my last 2 weekends

Last 2 weekends (4days), I spent on painting my Confrontation game figurines. These figurines are used in playing a table-top tactical fantasy miniature war game. I loved this game very much, and over committed it 2 years back. I think I spent more than RM5k for these figurines. They are really expensive. I have about 180 big and small figurines and only painted 23 of them. The Wolfen models below are considered large ones.

It's been a long while since I last painted them. Basically I prepared them as below, by assembling and glue the lead metal models together, then spray a coating of white or black base coat like below pic:
then I painted them up to these:







I painted total of 7 models for 4 days, although the paint job is not tip-top quality, but fair enough for game play and display at home.

Below is the size comparison with a 3" inch Dunny. My 3" inch Dunny is a giant compared to these figures huh.

I did it again. Bought another set of Vinyl Figures. This set of 6 pcs cost less than half of the retail price in the USA. The main reason for this discount is the Producer and Distributor is in Singapore.


This set was out in 2006, old collection actually, but the cuteness is eternal. They are very cute and I personally think it looks great on the display shelf.

I need to concentrate on the theme of my collection or else it will be very awkward and mismatched when display on the shelves.

Finally fixed up these little models, after over a month I bought them. Displaying them in my new Billy Book shelves I bought from IKEA. I bought a 80cm wide and a 40cm wide shelves with height of 202cm.

Well, trying to stuff my toys inside the shelves. I now feel that really no point buying new toys if I could not display all of them. It is same as buying boxes, unless I am thinking of reselling them hence will keep them in their boxes.

I am feeling a little bored now collecting toys... seeing that I have no house of my own to shelter them... Maybe I have to get a place of my own 1st before restart my collection.

I want a house of my own!!!

French 3 inch Dunnies and Finders Keepers

Before I go on India Biz Trip. I just bought the set of 18 of the French 3 inch Dunnies. Could not get hold of the 1/100 and 1/400 Rare Dunny.

At 1st I just bought 6 of the dunnies, but those rare ones (1/50) only come with the set, hence in the end I bought a set. Luckily the shop allows me to minus out those I bought earlier for the set, or else I will have doubles.

I finally bought a slim book shelf by IKEA (Bily). Started to put in some of my stuff. Here I took a pic of the Finder Keeper by JoeLed. Those colorful animals!

I never stop!!

Yesterday I ask the shop to reseverve a set of this Vivisect Playset by Strangeco.

I like the one design by Joe Ledbetter... The Blue Walrus is easy to get, but the 2 headed tortoise only can be get through buying a set due to the rarity.

Hence I just bought a set. Hope they will look good in real.

Oops.. I did it again.. I need help!!

Bought this Supersized Mc by Ron English. There are 10 different colours and texture, but I only bought the Red and Yellow Glow In The Dark. Just curious to see how glow it is in the dark hence spend SD20 for a 3 inch plastic!!
This one I just saw it in the shop. Only 700 in production for this Clay Figure. By Kaniza Toycube. Check out the website or below for a whole range of collection. I personally like the one above.

Wanted to get the variant color below limited to 300pcs, but the store have no stock for this. It all based on luck as the whole carton the shop bought are all blind box. We won't know what is it until they open it up.

I think I am starting to improve. Just until recently, I tend to be a perfectionist... wanted to collect every thing to form a set. But now no more!!

French Series Dunnies (Feb2008)

Should I buy them? I swear of not collecting them anymore... appreciate your opinions...

Weekend Toy+Hobby+Comic Stores Tour

Last weekend, a good friend who is also a toy+hobby+comic+book collector came down to Singapore for a visit.

On Saturday, I have planned up a tour, and took him around the city area stores. Those stores we covered are marked with a Purple Star.

We started from City Hall MRT Station, walking towards Bugis Station, then to Dhoby Ghaut Station covering all the stores that I know of along the way. Then, we took the MRT at Dhoby Ghaut to Raffles Place, then from Raffles Place we go towards China Town and to Clarke Quay Station. From Clarke Quay we went back to Bugis Station to meet his supplier. After collecting stuff, proceed to Orchard Road for few more shops.

Well, we walked whole day, I think we covered more than 15km of walking that day.

Spent a lot of $$... which I swear will stop after Chinese New Year, or else I will have to spend the rest of my life with my collection instead of with a wife.

Well post some pictures of my Trophy later.

Marvel Super Heroes Figurines !!

(Click to Enlarge Images)

I just discovered this range of collectible 2 days ago... and I hate my self for not discover this earlier.

This range of Lead Figures all hand painted by the London Studio Eaglemoss . Because it is lead, it is heavy and the posing are very dynamic.

The comic shop I went to sell these at very reasonable price at exchange rate of USD1 = SD1.6. Compared to the Vinyl Designer Toys which at the rate of USD1= SD2 to SD2.5.

Man... with about the same amount of $$ spent, I can get either a Vinyl Plastic Toys manufactured from China Factory with sometimes bad quality paint job, versus Marvel Licensed Famous Comic Book Super Heroes made of Lead and hand painted in England (+ a full colored Magazine with explanation of the Super Hero, sometimes with Giant Poster also) . I decided to stop collecting plastics for the moment and start collecting lead.

Which of the characters featured above you like best?

Many popular heroes which I wanted to buy like Thor, Ironman, Wolverine, Gambit, Iceman are sold out. I bought Spiderman, Venom and Spidey in Black Costume. Well, waiting for the shop to re-stock. Hopefully can get my hands on Ironman!!

P/S:
( I have a feeling I am going to spend a lots of $$ on this... no Chinese New Year clothes for me this year... I spend RM200 on the clothes that does not fit me at bargain sale and swear not to spend anymore on clothes for the time being...)

8" Dunnies for January 2008

Got this pink 8" Dunny yesterday from a toy shop. Limited run of 1,500pcs for each color. The shop was only given 6 of this pink color by Kidrobot. This time they come with a mini Fatcap, that shaped like a spray can with limbs.

I was very tempted to get the black one below online, when the local shop told me they could not get their hands on them, but the price is forbidding, as Kidrobot only send their stuff via EMS courier service. The shipping it self cost more than the Dunny (Retail: USD50 per pc) which comes to about USD110. Any way, I waited for them to start taking orders online. But within hours (after a movie), I checked on the Internet, and they are sold out. So fast and crazy!!

This is still okay, if those items were bought by real collectors, but to my dismay, these item are starting to pop up on eBay selling at least 40% more of its retail price. These people who are not collectors, but who had a privileged to get those stuff easily (live nearby the stores etc.), then re-selling at a big profit margin are call : "Flippers!"

Well, I stop being so aggressive on hunting toys, as my room is running out of space to store the toys + $$ running low. Only get those that I really love and maybe when there is a bargain.

So, just give me some opinion, which color you like best?

How I spent my Nov 2007 weekends

Most of my weekends in November 2008 I spent on fixing the Gundam kits I bought from Taiwan, while video chatting online with GF + watching Mandarin dubbed Cantonese movies on cable television Star Hub+ occasional web searching. For lunch and dinner, I ate whatever food stuff I can find in the house without going out.

Really Otaku (stay in the house) weekend life. Talk about multi-tasking.

Dunny: Auction Won from Ebay!!

Bought these 2 dunnys from Ebay. Cost me a BOMB!! Well, this was my 1st Ebay Purchase.

The 1st one is Lennin, from the famous Bolshevik Revolution of Russia. This is my favorite dunny so far.

The 2nd one is Mao Zhe Dong. This dunny was sold in 2005 and only 1098pcs was sold. Among the 1098pcs, 989pcs is Mao Zhe Dong and 109pcs is the rare Zhiang Ching. Now Zhiang Qing is going for nearly USD1,000.

Well, this 2 dunnys are very meaningful as they represent 2 of the most influential people in the modern history of the world!!

10" Joe Led Teddy Trooper by Adfunture

This Baby just courier in from Shanghai yesterday. The Teddy Trooper figure is design by Eddi of Adfunture and the Art is by Joe Ledbetter.

I really love this guy. The color combination is one of my favorite. He is 2 inch taller than my 8 inch dunnies, and a Giant among my 3 inch dunnies.

Last 8" Dunny for the year

Got this 8" Dunny today. I personally love the color purple/violet, so this one to me is very very nice. The face is based on the famous Pro-Wrestler Andre the Giant. He was the "Good Guy" of the Pro-Wrestling field, always go for the good fight. He acted in number of films also. No more buying for the rest of the year.

Crazy about Dunnies!!

I bought the Baby Blue (Teal) Bubble Yucky Dunny by Tara Mcpherson . Well, they look better in pair. Although I spend a lot of $$ lately, must control. GF is chanting "Buy less toy... buy less toy.. save $$, save $$" whenever I speak to her.

Well, got this hard to find Paul Smith Dunny (plastic though). Really like this guy. A piece of ART.

Ninja Dunny I bought previously.

And a Set of 17pcs, 3" Dunny series 4. I could never complete the whole set. There is another 4 pcs which are ultra rare. each of them over USD200 on EBay at the moment.

Below are the 4 Ultra Rare ones I don't think I can ever get it.
