D90 test shots - SIC Den-O Rod Form & Ax Form

Testing my D90 so not much of pose :P

Not really a toy, but I'll put it here since it can be consider as a toy for some people :P

Bought this Nikon DSLR D90 last Wednesday to replace my going-to-retire-soon Sony V1.

S.I.C Vol. 7 - Masked Rider No. 1 (Part 2)

Continued from SIC Vol. 7 - Masked Rider No. 1 & Shocker Rider (Part 1)


This Masked Rider 1 is from the Kikaider 00 series thus the box there printed "Kikaider 00" instead of "Masked Rider" (I'm not really too sure bout this, can some SIC pro enlighten me ?? ^_^)



I don't have the old vol. 7 so I can't compare it on the painting.
The painting gives me the dark side feeling except the helmet.
The helmet color too fresh and it looks a bit unmatch with the flat and dark color scheme on the body.



Stand
SIC Vol. 1 - 10 is more like a statue than action figure.
So each of them has a unique stand which most of the later released SIC lack.
Vol. 7 stand is the wounded Spider Man (not the one from the west).
KR 1 will pose as stepping on the poor Spider Man


Close up shot of the Spider Man's face


Wounded limps



Articulation
The only moving point of this SIC is its arm and head.
Most of the new SIC collectors collect SIC is because the KR has cool design and it's articulated.
That's why a lot of people skip this vol. because it's almost-fixed-pose.

Arm opened


Arm closed


"Hi~~~ I'm Masked Rider 1"



Artificial hair ??
I'm surprised to know that it has artificial hair at the back.
Why Bandai willing to add these realistic details on the old SIC, but the details getting less for the new SIC ?? =_=



Hidden Face
The helmet's mouth piece can be opened to reveal the face inside the helmet.
Too bad the helmet can't be taken off because it just has the face and not a full human head



Inside the chest
The front chest armor can be taken off to reveal.... of course not the naked breast lah :P.
Inside the chest is some details of the KR 1 organs structure.
Tou can put on the diecast heart and chest bones which comes with the package for KR1


After chest bone removed


Removed the heart


There are some details inside the chest armor too

To Be Continue Again.....

Lego ~~~ again.....

Bought another box of Lego today - 7789 Coast Guard Patrol Boat & Tower.





Never thought of will buy the City series as I originally planned to get the Mars Mission series 7644 MX-81 Hypersonic Operations Aircraft. I've changed my mind because RM 280 (after discount, original price is around RM 400) is over my budget for toys this month. That's why my previous haul was the 7738 Coast Guard Helicopter & Life Raft for RM 153.93 (original price RM 219.90 with 30% discount). Later on my wife said she'll pay for it & it's my birthday present. So I can buy another box of Lego again since I got my toys budget back :P

Lego ~~~

Haul this one just now at TRU





I think I might start to collect Lego since Japanese toys are getting ridiculously expensive *mad*

Yesterday's haul - SIC Kiwami Tamashii Special ver. Hibiki

Yesterday went to Kinokuniya to collect the Hyper Hobby Plus Vol. 6 that I've reserved last month. I don't know how to read Japanese though. I bought it is because of the "free" gift with this HH+ vol. 6 - Transparent purple ver. of the SIC Kiwamii Tamashii Hibiki.





Why I put quote on the word free? That's because the magazine retail price increased because of it. The price of this HH+ is (RM 93), same with buying HH+ & the toy itself *sweat* But never mind bout the price since this is an exclusive ver. which couldn't buy in the market *grin*

My temporary display cabinet

I don't have a proper cabinet to display my toys. Currently I just borrowed a layer of my father's cabinet to display some of my toys :P Will try to get a cabinet for my toys after I've shifted to my wife's new condo end of this year

SIC Vol. 7 - Masked Rider No. 1 & Shocker Rider (Part 1)

This is my 1st no-articulation SIC I've bought. It was re-issued as SIC Classic 2008 series. Since I decided to collect all Kamen Rider's SIC so I bought this Vol. 7. Many new collectors skip it because it has no articulation


Box Art
The box is in white color design. I don't really like the color because it looses the dark & mysterious feeling of SIC. Luckily it's just an additional cover to indicate this is SIC Classic 2008 ver., different from the old Vol. 7





Underneath the SIC Classic 2008 cover is still the old Vol. 7 packaging. I like the old packaging rear because it has more information bout Vol. 7 while the new one just display the pictures of the SIC






Contents
This set is Kamen Rider No. 1 + Shocker Rider. So it has extra parts for us to transform to Shocker Rider






The manual is printed on the back of the orange background




The diecast parts (the belt of Masked Rider also made by diecast)




The special item which included in all the SIC Classic 2008 series - Metal keychain plate. It's a useless additional because it's just some words paint on the metal plate. Just because of this plate we've to pay extra 700 yen (~RM 22 !!!) *mad*. I wished Bandai can give the mirrored display stand like the one given free with the purchase of SIC 42 Den-O in Hong Kong






To be continue...

Small haul - SIC Ultimate Soul Hibiki & Hot Toys guns

A small small haul today *blush*

Shell Ferrari with Touch Steering - completed !!
