Transformers Bumblebee Movie Deluxe edition


We have finally found the toy we've been searching for over a month... we have searched 5 different malls for it and now our efforts paid off!
We present you Bumblebee Movie Deluxe edition, my wife has all the luck she needed to find these rare transformers item...
This magnificent toy has great features:
First off the vehicle mode, it features the exact sculpture of a chevy camaro '08 car that was also shown on the film. the paint is good, the yellow and and black stripes stands out well and the chevy emblem is well sculpted.

Robot Mode: The robot form looks exactly like the one on the transformers live action film, The sculpture is well crafted and the color matches the robot. The articulation is good but not that balanced like my other transformer toys. It also has some sort of blade weapon that is attached under the chasis when it is in chevy mode.

OVERALL RATING: Damn! it took us a long time to find this rare item... One of the best Transformer toys... If you don't have it yet, GO OUT THERE AND FIND AT LEAST ONE, but if you have one right now, don't be stupid to sell it... If you have more than one unit of this toy, sell 'em and make yourself rich hehehehe

Armored Core Formula Front PSP



Probably one of the best psp games ever released. Armored Core Formula Front. This game features maximum mech-robot action and realistic setups for the armored core units.
You can use up to 6 mechs and you can even setup their weapons, coolants, armors, etc...

The graphics is superb, it almost captivates the clarity of the PS2 version of armored core. Although the background music plays a little lame, the sound effects got the whole sound quality back! The hit, guns, laser and other sound effects are going to blow your nuts, the sound effects are very cool it fits the whole robot war thing!
The difficulty is quite for hardcore gamers.. beginners will need much more time and practice to enjoy this mech game.

MY COMMENT: buy the game! your PSP needs it dammit!!!

Arcee Transformers Movie revision

2 weeks ago my wife and i went to some mall in alabang here in manila to buy some biscuits from popeyes chicken, then we decided to stroll around in TOYS 'R US... Then we checked out the transformers section and there it is! We are so lucky to find this Arcee Movie version.. there was only 1 left in stock so we didn't have any second thoughts on buying the thing so we bought it immediately...

This Arcee toy is great, it really has some girly features like.. it's painted in purple, then the robot mode has a curved body plus it has some sort of hairstyle on her head...

The articulation in robot form is great, it has a great balance when standing, i even executed my very own brawl test (brawl test means i'll let the toy stand in standard position and then i'll hit the desk with one punch). Arcee also holds some sort of a crossbow weapon with fire up action feature.. The sculpture is cool, the toy looks realistic.. It stands about 3.5 inches tall.

The motor form also have great features.. If you are familiar with the YAMAHA R1 motorcycle or the HONDA FIREBLADE, well this toy looks exactly like that. The motorcycle sculpture is very very cool! it even has a plate number on the back *LOL*
The muffler on the motorcycle is the main ammunition of the crossbow weapon, and the main seat is the crossbow itself.

MY COMMENT: BUY IT WHILE STOCK LAST!!! this is a must buy item

4D Puzzle - Airplane Space Shuttle


3 days ago my wife bought another 4D puzzle model kit, it's replica of a commercial airplane with a NASA space shuttle on top. Remember the movie Superman Returns? the part where Superman rescued a bunch of reporters from an airplane crash, well this toy represents that airplane.. (well not exactly look alike but it's close enough)..

The sculpture is great, it looks realistic, especially the NASA space shuttle, you can even open the top hatch of the shuttle.
Paint execution is good and it's perfect for your display cabinet.

This collectible is perfect for commercial plane freaks out there, this is good for your collection... By the way you can also replicate that rescue scene from Superman returns, just try to find a scaled superman toy and you're good to go!!

My Comment: Not for extreme toy collectors who has issues with collectible value. Like i said this is only good for display and not resale marketing

Rurouni Kenshin Saito Hajime Story image Figure

I'm a very big fan of the Samurai X series (Rurouni Kenshin in most countries) and my favorite character was Saito Hajime, The captain of the Shin-Sen Gumi Group in the tokugawa era...

I got this toy figure 3 years ago, I actually saved up a few bucks just to get this very rare item. The toy resembles the actual anime version of saito hajime.. The sculpture is excellent, the whole body is very well detailed.. The color execution is cool too, it really captivates the exact color of saito from samurai X. Don't worry about the articulation balance for it comes with a stand.. so this figure is great for display in your cabinets.. although i have never opened it from the packaging because i wanted to keep it in mint condition, this figure you won't let your balls down because this item is great expecially for Samurai X fans out there

My Comment: Great for toy collection, BUY IT!!

Optimus Prime and Barricade Movie Legends (Jollibee Ver. Kid's Meal)


When, transformers the movie was released on the silver screen here in the philippines, Jollibee got the rights as it's promoter and distributor of the Transformers toys... I bought 2 Kid's meal, 1 for me and 1 for my son.. there were only 2 toys left that day... Optimus Prime and Barricade.
These toys are well articulated, i mean for a free toy.. these are pretty good. It's completely transformable and it looks good on my display cabinet. Don't judge it as a low class toy... these bad boys are copyrighted by hasbro, so it means these have awesome collectible values. Optimus Prime and Barricade stands about 3 inches tall, it's attached to a stand, The sculpture is great and the colors are very well painted..

My comment: These items are worth getting, Every transformer toy has great value.
Oh by the way, these aren't available anywhere anymore.. you should have patience and guts to find a person who sell these items... Try ebay and amazon, don't stop until you find at least one seller

Godzilla Movie Display Replica


My brother is not quite into toys that much... He's really not into collecting toys, knowing that he is an idiot in this, i asked him to give me his GODZILLA replica.
The paint and scuplture are almost 99.9% perfect as the US version GODZILLA movie.. The toy stands 10.6 inches tall, the articulation is well made, it feature various action moves such as slashing, stomping and mouth opening... Every action moves produce sounds like if you try to open its mouth, you'll hear godzilla screaming, if you move his arms it can make a slashing sound.... This toy has great features and its perfect for both kids and toy collectors alike... Even my 1 year old boy can't get his hand off this monster...

My Comment: I'm pretty sure that this toy has a great collectible value, especially if you are a godzilla fan...
If you want to buy it... Try Ebay or amazon and best of luck trying to find one! this rare toy is pretty hard to find these days

Gundam Seed Zaku Warrior Model Kit


My family and I went to a mall near our city here in manila. As usual, my wife went to the womens' and shoe department, while me and our son went to the toy section. Actually i'm restricted to $10 budget for buying a toy until the next 3 weeks, My wife has skills when it comes to saving money... Luckily i stumbled in a Gundam section in the toy department, I was looking for a "not more than" $10 collectible toy, then i saw this Mobile Suit Gundam Zaku Warrior 1/144 model kit, I got it for like $5!!! it's about 3-4 inches tall, the paint is well executed, it actually emulates the one in the cartoons, The articulation is great too, it can move its head and arms, and the instruction is well detailed and accurate, even 8 year olds can follow those simple steps...

My Comment: not necessarily a must have but it is in a cheap price, Well worth a buy.... Perfect for serious toy collectors and model kit hobbyists

and before i finish my blog for this.. I must remind you.. That this is not a Play Toy! it's a collectible item that is not meant to be man-handled... Be careful with it
