Troy (2004)

Brad Pitt stars as Achilles from the movie "Troy (2004)", great epic movie. The way Achilles easily kills the greatest and most accomplished warrior of Thessaly, Boagrius, was such a joy to watch.

    hi vince (got your name from shaun's blog), thanks for the compliments - you have quite a impressive collection yourself. don't you just love to see friend's faces when they visit? when we were trying to sell our old place before moving to this new one, all the potential buyers (including agents) were too busy viewing the toys and taking pictures with their camera phones instead of checking the house. i had a strange suspicion that some of the buyers may have been the agent's friends coming to take a look - ha!ha!

    u r rite - the shield is heavy but i just love the look of this figure.

    about non-bloggers posting comments - hv rectified that - blog virgin here lah. thanks for bringing it up.

    haha. your toys probably also serve as an icebreaker for potential buyers and visitors! i find that less serious stuff like toys tend to make people more comfortable more easily.

    I showed your collection to my wife and asked if i could utilise the living room to put some toys (i presume your photo with that long stretch of wall is in the living room?)... Well, she is still unconvinced.

    i must admit i have a really supportive wife who lets me display my toys. she says it makes the place unique too & she has grown to appreciate the finer details of 1/6 figures. she's a rare find and the reason why i can display the toys. i let her know that no matter what, she's my number 1 toy (ha!ha! LOL)

    she also gets a kick when guests' eyes pop and jaw drop the moment they step in. like you said, they loosen up after that :)

    Hi Adrian, thanks for the compliments. I don't do much bashes - not very good at it lah so I usually get my stuff off the shelf. Achilles was something I was really keen on after watching "Troy".
