Popped down on the opening day of the Singapore Toys, Games & Comics Convention 2010 at Suntec City. It was pretty packed at the midday opening. I managed to score the Soldier Story exclusives that U Toys were selling. There weren’t too shabby. Nice having the STGCC logos on the box art. Would be even better if they had a small STGCC logo patch for the figures! lol

There was even a nice paper bag for the two exclusives.

Only managed to take a pic of my latest scores last night. Had a happy time collecting these a couple of weeks back when they were released. My room’s renovation is completed and I’ll be ripping open a few of these boxes to display the awesome figures in my new display area. Can’t wait!

Not too long more before the figure is out in the stores. A month maybe? Can’t wait!

New pics are out from NYCC for Marvel’s 3.75′ figures! There’s the new Marvel Universe X-Men boxset and the Apocalypse figure. And first looks at the Captain America movie figures as well as those from Thor. Captain America does look a bit on the Chunky side compared to the MU figures. Doesn’t seem to look as good.

There’s also Mandarin from Iron Man series, and a new Venom from the Spiderman series. Venom looks good! continue reading..

I was privileged to be present at the setup of the Iron Man CollARTible Exhibition at the Singapore Philatelic Museum. I work for NHB promoting the museums, so it’s kinda like mixing business with pleasure! continue reading..

Picked upped Marvel Universe Masterworks Galactus at The Falcon’s Hanger yesterday. It’s similar to the SDCC2010 MU Galactus exclusive that I got previously. But this is the retail version and it comes with Silver Surfer. It’s huge toy and unboxing it put a smile on my face.

Also managed to score the elusive 6′ inch Iron Man 2 Mark IV with Tony Stark’s head at OG Albert Court. Sweet.

My latest scores over the past couple of weeks. Hasbro’s Fury of Combat and Amored Assault packs. Love the Nick Fury figure. Will go nicely with my Marvel Universe collection. Also scored Hot Toy’s Black Widow. Can’t wait till the renovation on my room is completed end Oct. Then I will rip open the boxes to display the figures.

It’s great when you can mix work with your hobby. The Iron Man CollARTible Exhibition from the 9 Oct – 21 Nov at the Singapore Philatelic Museum showcases works from 21 Artists and features collectible figures from Hot Toys. Keep watching the I Love Museums Facebook page for tickets to the media preview!!
