I’m a fan of the Ip Man movies, but for some reason I totally missed out on getting Enterbay’s 1/6 scale version of the martial arts master when it was released in 2010. Thanks to the guys at The Falcon’s Hangar for sourcing the figure, I finally managed to get my hands on Ip Man! Enterbay’s head sculpt of Donnie Yen is flawless and his clothes are well tailored. The figure is pretty awesome and now sits nicely in my display case.

Hot Toy’s Iron Man 2 Mark V armour is a beauty! The company has already given us some really well sculpted Iron Man figures and Mark V continues the good work in the series. I’ll let the pics speak for themselves.

Loading Toys new head sculpts hail from the popular movie, Fight Club. Definitely a classic in my book. The sculpts are pretty accurate and even comes with a bar of soap as seen in the movie. A nice score.

Fansproject’s TFX-04 Protector or Rodimus Prime has been out for quite a while already. I decided to get onto the bandwagon and get one for myself, including the targetmaster addon, Sidearm. The Protector addon requires the Transformers United or Generations Hot Rod/Rodimus figure, depending on which pack or version you get. Once put together, you get a pretty mean looking Rodimus Prime. Fansproject addon is well made with tight joints that hold together well.

It wasn’t too long ago in 2010 that the bi-annual event, Transformers Cybertron Con 2010, was held in Shanghai. Now Singaporean’s and South East Asian Transformers fans can look forward to Transformers Cybertron Con 2012 right in Singapore! The event will be held very soon from 11 – 14 March at Resorts World Convention Centre. The event promises to showcase an extensive collection of historical Transformers items from throughout the brand’s 27 year history via a visually stunning exhibit.

Some highlights of the event includes:

  • Panel Sessions with special guest, Mr. Hideaki Yoki, lead designer of Transformers in Takara Tomy and TRANSFORMERS brand experts from Hasbro;
  • A 22-foot tall OPTIMUS PRIME character statue, one of the largest TRANSFORMERS statues ever;
  • TRANSFORMERS drawing classes by top Hasbro artists (at select times);
  • Three-dimensional action figure dioramas capturing scenes from popular TRANSFORMERS entertainment including the blockbuster movies
  • National ‘Fastest Fingers First’ Challenge, testing convention goers’ skills at converting TRANSFORMERS action figures from “robot” to “vehicle” modes.

I for one am pretty excited. Being a Transformers fan since I can remember and collecting the comics and toys, this is like a dream come true. Hope it’s better than STGCC! :) Tickets will be available from 2 Feb onwards at the Resorts World Sentosa website, or at the ticketing booths located at Universal Studios Singapore. Tickets for the convention are priced at $12 for a Day Pass and $68 for a 4-day VIP Pass.

VIP pass holders are entitled to:
