Star Wars: AT-ST

I have always wanted to own a AT-ST since I started collecting Star Wars figurines in 2005. This version of the AT-ST is much larger than the old version and the cokpit can fit two basic figures.

Marvel Select Sabretooth Part 2

One thing to note is that the display base comes with less "spare" parts then is shown on the back of the packaging. This is actually good as it gives the display base a less cluttered look.

The figure is well sculpted with good proportion, unlike the Toybiz Sabretooth (which is too scrawny). While the figure may not have as many POA as a Marvel Legend figure, it has all the necessary and useful POA with a good range of movement. The neck, shoulders, elbows, wrists, hips, knees, and ankles are point joints. The only cut joint is the waist.

Marvel Select Sabretooth Part 1

Got this today. Sculpt is good, but paint is only average. The paint on the joints came not well applied or came off. More photos to come and size comparsion with the various version of Sabretooth.

Star Wars: Turbo Tank

Another addition to my Star Wars vehicles collection, the Turbo Tank. Quite a good value considering that it comes with a basic figure and a speeder bike.

Marvel Universe Invaders Boxset


Didn't think I would be able to get this boxset since it's a SDCC exclusive. Really dig the Red Skull sculpt. Got this at Toys R Us. Price is quite reasonable for 4 figures and ultra cool packaging. The front part is actually magnetic which helps to keep the box closed.

Top Ten Favourite Villains #8 Starscream

My favourite Starscream design would have to be the G1 Starscream. While the MP Starscream looked very close to the G1 design, there are some design flaws that prevent it from being perfect. It lacked the articulation it should have and doesn't balance well.

My next favourite design is the Transformer Animated Starscream. It looks very screen accurate (except for the colour), is well articulated, and has some nice play features.

Movie: Transporter 3

Of all the 3 Transporter films I've watched, this is by far the worst. The car chase scenes sucks, the fighting scenes sucks, the story sucks, the female lead sucks! 1/ 5 stars.

I like Megatron cos he's the de facto leader of the Decepticon. In the G1 animated series, he was this bad ass Decepticon whom no one could match except Optimus Prime. Personnally, the battle between Megatron and Optimus Prime in Transformers The Movie was one of the best fight scenes in animated history.

Revoltech Megatron wasn't a must have for me. But since I didnt have a G1 Megatron and I needed a Megatron to pose besides my Revoltech Prime, I decided to get him. The Masterpiece Megatron was a miss for me. I was undecided at first, but the less than ideal design and look of the figure (skinny legs and fugly face sculpt) made me decide to spend my money on better toys. Of all the Megatron designs, my favourite would have to be the animated Megatron due to its design. The helicoptor alt mode is very cool.
