STGCC 2011 Madness

chaz — Mon, 29 Aug 2011 00:38:27 +0000

It’s been a week since STGCC and the one thing that’s still vivid in my mind is Hot Toy’s booth. Hot Toys was the highlight of STGCC for me. They brought down their concept booth they debuted at the Hong Kong Con as well as some exclusives for 1/6 Scale collectors. What a privilege. STGCC [...]

Osaka Toy Shops

Osaka’s Den-Den Town is comparable to Tokyo’s Akihabara where electronic and toy shops line the streets. Though I feel Tokyo’s Akihabara has a better edge and more variety of toy shops. One of the better places to visit is Herogangu.com. It’s at the corner of the block as in the picture above. The shop has [...]

My Collection – Part 2/2

chaz — Wed, 09 Mar 2011 00:30:38 +0000

On to my 2nd shelf of toys. Bursting to the seems, but still with a bit of space for new stuff. But even with all the new shelf space, there isn’t enough space for all my toys, so some are displayed in special cases…… ……. or kept nicely in their boxes in my storage cupboards [...]

SDCC 2010 – Sideshow Star Wars

Sideshow's Star War's 12 inch line has been growing by leaps and bounds over the past couple of years. Their upcoming figures are looking good. I'm looking forward to the droids and Yoda. Though I'm not sure if I''ll get Yoda's house. It does look very detailed.

Toy Fair 2010 – Star Wars (including the huge AT-AT!!)

chaz — Sun, 14 Feb 2010 08:51:10 +0000

Woot! The AT-AT in it’s full toy glory has been announced. Since I got the Millennium Falcon, I have been waiting to see what was next from Hasbro. And they didn’t dissappoint. The new figure looks huge ass and packed with accessories too! Hasbro announced their plans for the year and there are quite a [...]

Awesome Star Wars Lego Photos

There have been many beautiful pics taken of Star Wars characters through the years. This collection of photos depicting the planet Hoth is pretty awesome. Even better when you find out how the photographer did it.

The Legacy Collection Millennium Falcon

chaz — Mon, 07 Dec 2009 00:59:08 +0000

Every once in awhile a new figure/vehicle is a released that captures the imagination of fans and collectors alike. There have been a few figures that have captured my imagination, figures like Fortress Maximus, the Transformers Masterpiece series and the upcoming 1/2000 Macross SDF-1. The Millennium Falcon was one such figure that enticed me after [...]

Tokyo Toy Shops – 3 of 4 : Ueno

chaz — Fri, 17 Apr 2009 09:00:48 +0000

One of the more impressive toy stores is 7 floors high Yamashiroya. The store is home to carries all sorts of toys and is one of few places that has a good collection of 12 inch figures. Even though they are a bit more expensive than what you can find in Singapore (as seen in the Indy pic below), there is a wide selection of loose clothing, weapons, etc. that is hard to find in SG.
