Movie Deluxe DECEPTICON BRAWL

Remember the most amazing film of 2007 the Transformers movie? Do you remember the part where the decepticons are en-route to battle with the autobots?
Well, a lot of people got confused on the tank transformer in the movie... Is it brawl? or devastator? i think that there are some typos in the film, especially the part where the tank called himself devastator... isn't "dev" supposed to be a constructicon built robot? damn!

Anyways, i just availed a new TF toy last month, and there's only one stock left in Toy Kingdom in SM. I got this rare deluxe edition Brawl. The Sculpture is very very detailed as we speak, especially when it is transformed in robot mode, His face looks really intimidating. The paint looks cool for it captivates the exact color from the live action film. It carries a canon weapon that can fire projectiles, with 2 turrets, and 2 mini-guns. The articulation is not that quite posable for it's really quite hard to transform the thing but it's well balanced when standing in robot mode, it's big feet gives all the balance needed.

There's also a Decepticon Brawl Leader class but im really not a fan of big toys, although i'd like to make one huge soundwave in the near future..

My Comment: This toys is a must have. Although not quite rare as bumblebee, this toy is quite cool and very recommended for the fans of the transformers film

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

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

TF Classics StarScream Masterpiece

First announced when the THS-02 Hybrid G1 convoy was released in early 2006. Multitudes of STARSCREAM fans eagerly anticipated this new edition to the premium Masterpiece line. Later on crazed STARSCREAM fans rejoiced when they received an announcement that the new STARSCREAM will be designed by MACROSS co-creator and original pre-Transformers Diaclone designer, Shoji Kawamori. This new mold as everyone was predicting was ripe for repainting to create the other seekers and coneheads.

Later, when the beta pics began leaking over the internet, everyone was crazed as STARSCREAM's robot mode looked exactly like he did in the old Generation 1 cartoons. Until a month later when the painted samples were revealed, everyone wondered why their favorite Decepticon Air Commander was painted blue, and his robot mode was only 10" tall. This led to some solid fans deciding to skip MP-3 altogether and wait for a show accurate version. Much like what they did to the G1 re-issue Transformers collection Starscream who was repainted to match his anime cartoon version.

Devil May Cry Coin Top Figure

For "Devil May Cry" fan out there, these coin top figure set is for you!... The complete collection consists of 6 figures:
Dante A, Dante B, Trish, Lucia and 2 monsters from devil may cry 2. Every characters have their own sets of weapons, Dante A and B got his famous ebony and ivory dual 45 caliber action pistols, a bazooka, and his 3 swords used from the game. While, trish carries a big sword and .45 dual action pistols, and finally lucia carries 2 daggers and 2 shurikens.


Except for Lucia, the figure sets also include a blast effect thing that goes with the gun barrels and on the monsters. This helps the design to go more realistic as possible.

These toy collections can do various poses, especially Dante A and B. You can make these toy figures more fancy than the game itself!
The only catch here is, the toys are so small... You can lose it in an instant. For a small toy set, these collections are quite expensive. You can avail the complete set for at least $20 or php1,000.

My Comment? You have to be a Solid Devil May Cry freak to appreciate these toy collections. By the way these have very strong toy values because these are the only Devil May Cry 2 figure sets that's been released...

War Within Optimus Prime


Titanium transformers is one of the newest line of transformers toys to be released in the toy industry, The toy line features die-cast built with a good number of articulations. one of the first figures to be released is the long awaited war within optimus prime. Ever since Don figueroa drew the art for dreamwave comic's transformers war within, there was never an action figure to represent optimus prime. Sure, there was a statue and recently a small 3 inch die-cast figure, but there were no transforming yet. and what is a transformer that can't transform.. well.. that is not a transformer that's for sure. For the reminder of the review, this toy will be referred to as WWOP ( War Within Oprimus Prime )
