My new place is almost ready - I say almost because being the perfectionist that I am, it'll never be complete until I'm totally satisfied with everything in the house but for now, this will do. Bought the new place because we felt that
Jared and
Javon should have their own rooms since the two rascals are growing up so fast that before long, they'll probably want to have their own pads (on the condition that I can put my stuff in their room as well - LOL!!). And since my home is my toy haven, this entry is most appropriate.
Finally, almost all the unpacking's done. Please enter into my toy haven :)

Yay! My
toys and
place got featured. Just thought I'll share ;p
His jungle/bush hat was done very nicely and wasn't droopy nor floppy . The headsculpt was the "flock" hair type introduced in the 70s, meant to make them look more realistic and replaced the earlier painted heads. He has his ammo belt and grenades.
Also came armed with a machete for hacking a jungle trail and the 9mm L2A3 Sterling submachine gun which saw considerable service in Malaya and Borneo. If you examine the Sterling carefully, you will notice that it was used as a base for the Star Wars Imperial Blaster simply by adding more parts to the frame.
The Action Man Australian Jungle Fighter also came armed with the flame thrower. Must have been quite a scary feeling to be at the other end of it when it is in use.
