If you’ve played the Assassins Creed series of games, you’ll know they’re pretty damm good. Assassins Creed II introduces the character Ezio and even more weapons and fancy gear. Hot Toys has announced Ezio for their Videogame Masterpiece series and it’s looking mighty fine. The detail of his uniform is outstanding, as well as the weapons. I can’t wait! More pics below!

My latest scores from the past couple of weeks. The new Marvel Universe waves are out. Only missing Mary Jane and one more Skrull Soldier. woot!

I’ve been looking for a black ops/tactical figure for awhile, but nothing caught my eye till Soldier Story came out with this figure. I missed out the 1st version and was determined to get this 2.0 version.

This has been one figure I’ve been excited about since Hot Toys announced it months back.

Finally scored this today. I was initially contemplating getting it when it first came out, but was too late and found it sold out at most places. Alex’s review on the figure tempted me even more. And after searching around PS today, I found it! Woot! And it wasn’t even at a premium price. Sweet! Can’t wait to open it up when I get home.

The Toy Carnival is back once again! Organised by the great guys from The Falcon’s Hangar, this year’s carnival will be held at the SG Expo from 28 – 30 May, 11am – 9pm, together with the Licence2Play gaming and electronics fair. Details can be found here and here. See you there!

It’s been a pretty quiet month for toy shopping. Helps me to save for the big ticket items coming up soon. I got the revoltech Alien figure and the WST Communicator (Shockwave). Two small but pretty cool figures.

The Revoltech Sci-Fi series was announced some time ago and the latest pics of their upcoming offerings are starting to tempt me. The Dark Knight Batman, Alien Queen and the Predator are all top on my lists. Even the Toy Story figures are looking good.

I have the Transformers and Macross figures from revoltech and they are all great quality figures. I’m happy they are starting to branch out. They just got to make sure their sculpt and quality remains.

The first figure of the series will be an Alien figure. What a great way to start. I have it pre-ordered and it’s due this April. Nice.

After much procrastinating, I’ve finally updated my Tokyo Toy Shops posts. The shops are still basically the same. I did check out one or two new shops, but nothing to post about. The main shops are still going strong.

The Jan 2010 updates are in blue. There are pics of shop fronts and the interior of the shops themselves to give you an idea of what to expect and find. I’m planning my 2011 trip, will update more then! Have fun toy shopping in Tokyo!
