Synopsis of the MIND GAME
Human body modification prevails in 2050, and the global economic depression gives birth to a virtual reality game - the Mind Game. Since the game scene is too real and a player can win real money in the game, lots of people all over the world indulge in it in order to escape from the reality. The economy continues to fall, and the world collapses in the virtual economic bubbles. However, with a high degree of risk in this game, lots of players have been struck down in the over-real game scene. The physiological stimulation causes brain death or severe paralysis in many players in reality; hence, the boycott of Mind Game rises in different places. While the game servers are scattered, the cleaning operation (RWIB) does not have great effect.

Therefore, a civil organization - the GOBI team - is born. They are responsible for clearing up servers, cruel, but there is no other way. Of course, they also save some players who are forced into retention in the game. Most of the time they play the unlovable roles in the intricate relationship between the game organization and the labor union.


DAM TOYS 1/6th scale MindGame - The Gobi Squad - Black Eight - Frank Chambers (ZP001) features Real like head sculpt, Action body, White T-shirt, Tactical vest, Jacket with leather fringes, Waist bag x 2, Brown pants, Outdoor shoes, Boxing palm x4, Diesel engine-driven power fist x2, Diesel engine-driven helmet, Engine crank, Cooling can x 3, Protecting iron plate, Key chain, Towel, Diorama figure base

Square Enix Play Arts Kai "Batman: Arkham Knight" 1/7th scale Arkham Knight figure Review

Happy Batman Day :)

DC Entertainment is bringing back the fan-favorite event celebrating The Dark Knight. “Batman Day” is back by popular demand and takes place on Saturday, September 26, 2015, kicking off what has become an annual event honoring one of the most popular and iconic Super Heroes and celebrating all things Batman from comics to video games and more.

Since I don't have any current Batman action figure up for review to celebrate the occasion, I thought I'll do the next best thing and review the Square Enix Play Arts Kai "Batman: Arkham Knight" 1/7th scale Arkham Knight action figure which was part of my most recent haul (posted HERE) instead. Honestly, I've never been more excited about a Batman villain. Arkham Knight is like Batman and Punisher combined to give us one bad, mean muther-f**ker who is just all out for vengeance, except in this case, the target is batman. The fact that he dresses up to look like Batman is certainly a nice touch.


The Arkham Knight is a fictional supervillain persona which appears in DC Comics, and is the titular secondary antagonist in Rocksteady Studios' video game Batman: Arkham Knight. The persona was created by Rocksteady in collaboration with DC Comics CCO and writer Geoff Johns, and officially first appeared in Batman: Arkham Knight #1 (February 2015).

Check out CRAFTONE 1/6th scale Bank Robbers - Criminal Crew (Premium Version)

Heat is a 1995 American crime film written, produced and directed by Michael Mann, and starring Robert De Niro, Al Pacino, and Val Kilmer. De Niro plays Neil McCauley, a professional thief, while Pacino plays Lt. Vincent Hanna, a veteran L.A.P.D. robbery-homicide detective tracking down McCauley's crew. The central conflict is based on the experiences of former Chicago police officer Chuck Adamson and his pursuit in the 1960s of a criminal named McCauley, after whom De Niro's character is named.

Val Kilmer portrayed Chris Shiherlis who is part of Neil McCauley's (Robert De Niro) crew. The explicit nature of several of the film's scenes was cited as the model of a spate of robberies since its release. This included armored car robberies in South Africa, Colombia, Denmark, and Norway and most famously the 1997 North Hollywood shootout, in which Larry Phillips, Jr. and Emil Mătăsăreanu robbed the North Hollywood branch of the Bank of America and, similarly to the film, were confronted by the LAPD as they left the bank. This shootout is considered one of the longest and bloodiest events of its type in American police history. Both robbers were killed, and eleven police officers and seven civilians were injured during the shootout. Heat was widely referenced during the coverage of the shootout.


CRAFTONE No.006A 1/6th scale Bank Robbers - Criminal Crew (Premium Version) will come with two head sculpts, Gray jacket, black vest, Gray coveralls ambulance service (with patches), White shirt, dark tie, shoes, socks, Gray trousers , brown leather belt, Sunglasses, watch, Black headgear, Black mask, Tactical vest, Headphone-style communicator, M733 assault rifle equipped with 8 magazines, Long-handled flashlight, M92F pistol, Black bag, Greenbacks, black frame with explosives.

DAM TOYS Gangsters Kingdom 1/6th scale Diamond 5 "Ralap" 12" figure and Wolf "Ghost"

Dam Toys continue to roll with their Gangsters Kingdom series of 12-inch figures and their latest offering brought a smile to my face :) They are calling Diamond 5 "Ralap" and the back story is that his parents were killed when he was 6 years old and he was raised by wolves. He was finally brought back to civilisation after 15 years and by then, he was just a wild beast clothed in human skin.

But we know which particular Marvel character inspired this figure - Hugh Jackman's Wolverine from the 2009 "X-Men Origins: Wolverine" film. Even the clothes are almost identical. You can check out my action figure review of the Hot Toys Movie Masterpiece Series MMS103 1/6th scale Wolverine Limited Edition Collectible Figurine from the "X-Men Origins: Wolverine" movie posted on my toy blog HERE


DAM TOYS Gangsters Kingdom 1/6th scale Diamond 5 "Ralap" 12" figure and Wolf "Ghost" will come with: 1/6th scale stylised Head sculpt, 12-inch Action figure body, White T-shirt, White muscle vest, Brown leather jacket, shoulder holster, black belt with buckle, black jeans pants, Steel talons holster x 2, Hip flask with carrier pouch, Steel talons x 2, revolver, rapid speed loader x 2, Spike necklace, cigar, 4 interchangeable hands,  Palm with Steel talons and Blood effects, Cowboy boots, 1/6th scale Wolf "Ghost" + additional jaw accessory

Sept 2015 Haul: Hot Toys "Avengers: Age of Ultron" Hawkeye, Play Arts Kai Arkham Knight & Lego Star Wars General Grevious

continued from previous post...

Besides my haul from STGCC 2015, I also picked up these three box sets recently as part of my September haul. They include Hot Toys MMS289 "Avengers: Age of Ultron" 1/6th scale Hawkeye Collectible Figure (see the preview pictures HERE), Square Enix Play Arts Kai "Batman: Arkham Knight" 1/7th scale Arkham Knight action figure and Lego 75112 General Grievous (part of the Star Wars Ultrabuild set / buildable figures by Lego).


I am quite excited about the "Avengers: Age of Ultron" 1/6th scale Hawkeye (Jeremy Renner as Clint Barton / Hawkeye) as he will be joining both Hot Toys Avengers: Age of Ultron 1/6th scale Scarlett Johansson as Black Widow 12-inch Figure (action figure review posted on my toy blog earlier HERE and HERE) and Hot Toys "Avengers: Age of Ultron" 1/6th scale Chris Evans as Steve Rogers / Captain America 12-inch Collectible Figure (pics and review posted HERE, HERE and HERE). Like Black Widow, Clint Barton / Hawkeye is just a regular human being without any special powers and yet they both can hold their own when it comes to a battle with Ultron. 

I'm also equally stoked with Square Enix Play Arts Kai 1/7th scale Arkham Knight action figure. Never have I been more excited about a new super villain. I guess that's because he's an antithetical version of Batman.

Check out Good Smile Company 16cm tall Figma 270 "King Leonidas" from 300 action figure

"This is Sparta!!"

300 is a 2007 American fantasy war film based on the 1998 comic series of the same name by Frank Miller and Lynn Varley. Both are fictionalized retellings of the Battle of Thermopylae within the Persian Wars. In 480 B.C. a state of war exists between Persia, led by King Xerxes (Rodrigo Santoro), and Greece. At the Battle of Thermopylae, Leonidas (Gerard Butler), king of the Greek city state of Sparta, leads his badly outnumbered warriors against the massive Persian army. Though certain death awaits the Spartans, their sacrifice inspires all of Greece to unite against their common enemy.


From the film '300' comes a figma of the great King of Sparta, Leonidas! Using the smooth yet posable joints of figma, you can act out a variety of different scenes. He comes with two expressions including a glaring expression and a shouting expression. Both make use of UV printing for a very realistic appearance. Optional parts include various equipment used by Leonidas including his sword, shield, spear, helmet and his necklace. The memorable cape from the film is also included and made from actual fabric. A standard infantry-use helmet is also included. An articulated figma stand is included, which allows various poses to be taken.

Seen@STGCC2015 Part 6: Other Star Wars and artists' created one-of-a-kind toys (cute & weird)

continued from previous post...

Besides the Hot Toys booth at this year's Singapore Toy, Game & Comic Convention (STGCC) 2015 - see my toy blog posts HERE and HERE, other manufacturers were also showing off their statues (pictures HERE) and action figures (posted HERE and HERE), including exclusives at the convention. And then there's the Artists' Alley where you find other individuals showing and selling their custom created Urban Vinyl Action Figures / toys, collectibles and memorabilia. I couldn't cover everything from the show but the pictures posted here are the ones that caught my eye.


The Star Wars' presence was strong at STGCC 2015. Besides Hot Toys, smaller companies were selling Star Wars related toys. This particular Boba Fett sipping on bubble tea (a Taiwanese tea-based drink invented in Taichung in the 1980s and made popular here) by Luke Chueh of Flabslab Presents certainly stopped me in my tracks. Looks pretty cool to me.

CooModel SE002 1/6th scale Empires Series: Order du Temple / Templar Knight 12-inch figure

continued from previous post...

In the Middle Ages, or Medieval Times, knights wore suits of armor with under clothing designed to protect the knight from the weight and chafing of the armor. When not engaging in battle, knights wore woolen tights with a linen shirt, linen underpants, a codpiece, a belted tunic, a cape and closed-toe shoes. The armor that knights wore was made out of metal. Chain mail armor was made out of thousands of small metal links attached to each other that covered the vulnerable points of a knight's body. Chain mail was very flexible but provided inadequate protection against arrows and sword points.


Another offering of the knight by CooModel is the SE002 1/6th scale Empires Series: Order du Temple / Templar Knight 12-inch action figure which will come with Head, Figure body, Long sleeved undershirt, Pants, boots, Chain mail shirt plus Full set of knight's armour including: Helmet, Chest armour set, Arm armour, Leg armour, Hands in armour x 4, Double handed long sword, Dagger, Belt set, Shield, Custom base

Seen@STGCC2015 Part 5: Glitch Network Bone Head TestSubject, LimeBones and GodComplex

continued from previous post...

Besides the other 1:6 scale figures featured at STGCC 2015 (shown in my previous toy blog post HERE), I found myself attracted to the display put up by Glitch Network.

Glitch Network has taken over where Foxbox Studios left off. Foxbox Studio came up with the concept of GodComplex and the premise that the Greek gods still exist and rule the world. In that vein, they created a whole world of Greek gods dressed to the nines in business suits operating in a modern world. And most recently GodComplex landed right at the heart of Singapore at this year's Singapore Toy, Game & Comic Convention (STGCC) 2015. More of GodComplex later in this toy blog post.


I want to bring your attention to the particular 12-inch figure posted. This is Glitch Network's Sixth Vision BoneHead Test Subject 56 1/6th scale collectible figure which comes with Authentic Test Subject 56 figure in 1/6th scale, 3 (three) pairs of interchangeable hands, custom Baseball bat with hidden blade (Die-cast), Mech Slayer and A5 size limited print. I quite like the overall look and feel.

I don't collect many statues because they are usually very expensive (I can't afford them) and rather large in size (no space). I much prefer 1:6 scale pose-able action figures with their articulation plus fabric costumes and uniforms with their highly detailed gear, accessories and weapons. Almost everything is detachable and can be examined up close or put to use with another 12-inch figure. Statues are usually cast in stone and are one molded pained piece without the realism of the fabric and mix of textures 1:6 scale figures have. Having said this, I do admire statues for their dynamic power poses and the artists who design them as well as the craftsman who sculpt and paint them. Some of the most impressive statues I've seen lately are produced by home grown company XM Studios, producer of limited edition premium statue collectibles. I was blown away by their statues at last year's STGCC (see my toy blog post HERE) and was eager to see what they were bringing and showcasing at this year's Singapore Toy, Game & Comic Convention (STGCC) 2015.


I certainly wasn't disappointed :) XM Studios brought Phoenix from the X-Men, Daredevil and Elektra as well as Medusa and Black Bolt from the Inhumans to this year's show, along with the usual suspects such as The Avengers (Hulk, Thor, Black Widow, Hawkeye, Iron Man, Captain America) with villains Loki and Red Skull among others.

Seen@STGCC2015 Part 2: Hot Toys Booth – Ant-Man, The Avengers, Iron Man, Batman etc

continued from previous post...

It's that time of the year again! Singapore Toy, Game & Comic Convention (STGCC) 2015 is upon us and it is being held at the Sands Expo and Convention Center in Marina Bay Sands Halls B & C on level 1 on 12 & 13 September from 10am to 9pm (closes at 8pm on 13 Sep). There are lots of things to see and many exclusives to buy so if you are a true blue toy collector or are just into collectibles (statues included), then you have to head down and enjoy the sights. It's really quite Marvel-ous to behold with many wonderful things on display.

In this second toy blog post covering the Singapore Toy, Game & Comic Convention (STGCC) 2015, let's look at the other Hot Toys action figures on display at their booth besides the Star Wars movie characters which I've already blogged about earlier HERE.


There's the rather large Ant-Man statue on display with light-up lens on his helmet and belt buckle. Beside the statue is the display of the Hot Toys 1:6 scale Ant-Man and Yellow Jacket action figures along with their miniaturized versions from the recent Ant-Man film by Marvel Studios.

Besides Ant-Man, there are also The Avengers, Iron Man, new Marty McFly, Batman, Terminator, Resident Evil figures and a rather strange looking Hot Angel (Alien Girl) from AVP. Scroll down to see the rest of the pictures. Click on them for bigger and better views.

Seen@STGCC2015 Part 1: Hot Toys Booth – Star Wars action figures and diorama display

It's that time of the year again! Singapore Toy, Game & Comic Convention (STGCC) 2015 is upon us and it is being held at the Sands Expo and Convention Center in Marina Bay Sands Halls B & C on level 1 on 12 & 13 September from 10am to 9pm (closes at 8pm on 13 Sep). There are lots of things to see and many exclusives to buy so if you are a true blue toy collector or am just into collectibles (statues included), then you have to head down and enjoy the sights. It's really quite Marvel-ous to behold with many wonderful things on display.

In my first post of my coverage of the Singapore Toy, Game & Comic Convention (STGCC) 2015, I'm covering the Hot Toys booth which is the first thing you see when you enter the exhibition hall.


Hot Toys' focus this year is on Star Wars (who isn't?) and so you get to see what Hot Toys is doing with the Star Wars movie license. Up front and centre is the 1:6 scale Imperial TIE fighter which is quite impressive. Too bad the 1:6 scale Millennium Falcon couldn't make Singapore a docking station but you do get to see a 1:6 scale Millennium Falcon cockpit with Han Solo and Chewie in it. There's also a diorama of the interior of the Millennium Falcon where old Ben is teaching Luke Skywalker in the ways of the Force as seen in the movie.

Pre-order Sideshow Collectibles Ralph McQuarrie Conceptual Stormtrooper 18.5" Statue

Pre-order from Sideshow Collectibles

Ralph McQuarrie’s conceptual drawings and paintings were instrumental in bringing George Lucas’ epic space saga to the big screen, envisioning the vast worlds of fantastic heroes, villains, vehicles and aliens that would come to be known as Star Wars!

Inspired by Ralph McQuarrie’s pre-production artwork for Star Wars: A New Hope, Sideshow Collectibles is proud to present the Stormtrooper Statue. Ralph McQuarrie Stormtrooper Stormtrooper Statue measures 18.5" H (469.9mm) x 9.25" W (234.95mm) x 10" L (254mm) and 18.5" H (469.9mm) x 10.5" W (266.7mm) x 14.25" L (361.95mm) with Saber


Expertly crafted in 1:5th scale, the soldier of the Empire is depicted patrolling a corridor of the Death Star. As seen in McQuarrie’s early incarnations, the Stormtrooper comes with multiple display options – carrying a shield in one hand while wielding a lightsaber or blaster in the other - and is fitted with distinctive helmets and armor that more closely resembled fighter pilot gear than the final costumes seen on screen. Reviewing a broad spectrum of McQuarrie’s imaginative designs for the Imperial Stormtroopers, Sideshow’s artists have translated his iconic artwork in a brilliant homage to a Star Wars that is both familiar, yet never was.

CooModel SE001 1/6th scale Empires Series: Teutonic Knight 12-inch action figure

Looks like more companies are getting into 1:6 scale Medieval knights (see the previous post on my toy blog HERE) and CooModel has released pictures of their version of the armored knight.

In the Middle Ages, or Medieval Times, knights wore suits of armor with under clothing designed to protect the knight from the weight and chafing of the armor. When not engaging in battle, knights wore woolen tights with a linen shirt, linen underpants, a codpiece, a belted tunic, a cape and closed-toe shoes. The armor that knights wore was made out of metal. Chain mail armor was made out of thousands of small metal links attached to each other that covered the vulnerable points of a knight's body. Chain mail was very flexible but provided inadequate protection against arrows and sword points.


CooModel SE001 1/6th scale Empires Series: Teutonic Knight 12-inch action figure features: Head, Figure body, Long sleeved undershirt, Pants, boots, Cap, Coat of cross, Chain mail shirt, Chain mail hood, Helmet , Arm armour, Hands in armour x 4, Double handed long sword, Dagger, Belt, Shield, Mace

Pre-order ThreeZero 16-inch Getter Robot: Getter 1 Collectible Super Robot Figure

Getter Robo is a Super Robot manga series created by Ken Ishikawa, as well as an anime series produced by Toei Animation. The series was broadcast on Fuji TV from April 4, 1974 to May 8, 1975, with a total of 51 episodes. The plot involves three strong-willed teenagers: martial artist Ryoma Nagare, homicidal psychopath Hayato Jin and fat Judoka Musashi Tomoe, who pilot three specially designed combat jets (Eagle, Jaguar, and Bear) which can be combined together into three different giant robots, Getter-1 (balanced and for flight combat), Getter-2 (fast and for ground combat), and Getter-3 (strong and for marine combat).

The series was groundbreaking in the anime mecha genre: for the very first time, it introduced the concept of separate machines combining to form a Super Robot. Using three jets, Getter Robo could combine in three different ways to create three different versions of Getter Robo for different conditions and situations. This idea of combination and transformation proved to be a very powerful concept that has been used in the super robot genre ever since. Also, by adding three pilots to the robot was able to add an element of teen drama, probably influenced by the already popular anime sci-fi team show Gatchaman (better known in the U.S. as Battle of the Planets, G-Force: Guardians of Space or Eagle Riders).


It's time to reveal the ThreeZero Getter Robot - Getter 1 collectible, which they have been working for a while now! Pre-order will open for the approximately 16” (40.64cm) tall and fully poseable Getter Robot - Getter 1 collectible on September 11th 9:00AM Hong Kong time at www.threezerostore.com

Getter Robot - Getter 1 collectible details: Getter 1 stands approximately 16 inches / 40.64cm tall; fully-poseable figure with over 40 points of articulation; articulated fingers; highly-detailed mechanical parts; incredibly detailed paint application that highlights weathering and shows battle damaged effect in details; Getter Tomahawk x 2; removable cape; light-up feature in Getter 1 eyes and light-up Getter Beam shooting port; AG1 x 6 batteries needed for the light-up feature (batteries not included in the package).

TITTOYS #SF021 1/6th scale Thinking Electric Self-Balancing Scooters (model) i.e. Segway

The Segway PT is a two-wheeled, self-balancing, battery-powered electric vehicle invented by Dean Kamen. It is produced by Segway Inc. of New Hampshire. The name Segway is derived from the word segue, meaning smooth transition. PT is an abbreviation for personal transporter.

Computers, sensors, and electric motors in the base of the Segway PT keep the device upright when powered on with balancing enabled. The rider commands the PT to go forward or backward by shifting their weight forward or backward on the platform. The PT uses gyroscopic sensors and accelerometer-based leveling sensors to detect the resulting changes in its pitch angle and, to maintain balance, it drives its wheels forward or backward as needed to return its pitch to upright. In the process, the rider establishes and then maintains a desired speed by modulating the extent and duration of their fore/aft weight shifts. To turn and steer, the rider shifts the handlebar to the left or right.

In China, Police have begun using Segways to patrol certain public areas, such as Tian'anmen square. Police also use them in Beijing International Airport.


TITTOYS #SF021 1/6th scale Thinking Electric Self-Balancing Scooters (model) is not an electric functioning model but a static model for use with 12-inch figures. Detailed list: Thinking car, Storage box x3, Charger, Sticker sheet. Now you can own a 1:6 scale Segway.
