Event: J-Craze Manga Weekend at Bugis+ on 4th & 5th Aug 2012

Hey guys, just back from this J-craze at Bugis+ (previously Iluma). It was held on the foyer at 2nd level. Although it is not a very big event but we still see lots of anime fans gathered around and having fun. There was live band performance, an anime gaming station (not sure if there was a competition going on, a long scroll for free drawings and sketchings, two anime merchandise stores, a disc selling store, and cosplaying. I managed to snap some pictures on the ground.

It is overall a wonderful aftenoon, hope to see more of this event in future! You many check with Bugis+ or their facebook for more info. Thanks for viewing!

My Collection: Banpresto Ichiban Kuji Prize lottery (一番獎): Fate/ Zero (Part 1) Prize A

Finally.. After showing the Prize B, C, D and G, we have the final Prize A here. As you can see, Prize is none other than Saber herself. The only different is that she is wearing a suit instead of her armor. The size of Prize A should be similar to Prize B, C and D (I haven't compared but it looks same) but it looks awesome with the coloring and detailed enough for a figure this size/ type. I really liked the motorbike that came in the box. It really suits her character, cool, yet beautiful... As what you can see on the picture below, it consists of a bike, a base with stand, a saber head and two bodies, one standing position with her sword and one sitting position for posing her on the bike.

With this I have done the posting of all the figurines from Banpresto Ichiban Kuji Prize lottery Fate/ Zero (Part 1). I look forward for Part 2, which I do not even know if I have the chance to get it (hopefully I can..). So stay tune for more updates, I will soon be posting some pictures of part 2 I found !

News: Ironman collARTible Expo 2?

Hey Ironman fans, remember the Ironman CollARTible Expo that was held at the Singapore Philatelic Museum in 2010? Now there are several pictures and news of Ironman CollARTible Expo 2 roaming around. Check these pictures out:

Wow, those are some awesome customized Ironman, the Devilman version, the 3-in -1 version (Captain America + Thor + Ironman) and the Centaurs version. While I happened to view these on the blog of onesixthrepublic, there is still not much info on this. Let's wait patiently for more updates because given the success of the first expo, I hope Hot Toys and the organizer would do the same by travelling around the world to showcase these nicely made collectibles.

Rounding up on Hot Toys displays at Anicom HK 2012

Anicom has come to an end on 31st Jul, it is a pretty long convention that lasted through the weekend. Hot Toys had made several annoucements and showcast a few of their upcoming items as well as building two very remarkable dioramas for the fans! They have really done a great job and hope they can bring the same level of standard here at the STGCC. Let's now look at what they have offered at the Anicom 2012:

There are quite a number of releases on Marvel superheroes, the long waited X-Men First Class has also shown up on the convention. But the Chitauri Soldier and Wolverine was quite a surprise for me. I did'nt thought that they will be made.

  

  

• Avengers Movie Iron Man Mark VII
• Avengers Movie Hulk
• Amazing Spider-Man
• Captain America: Golden age
• Chitauri Soldier
• Agent Phil Coulson
• X-Men: First Class Professor X
• X-Men Movie Wolverine

Well the next favorites on the line is The Dark Knight Rises. The movie was impressive, as well as the figures and vehicles from Hot Toys The Dark Knight Rises. Hot Toys alsio revealed the Catwoman, and displayed the following on the Anicom. While I am not sure if they are releasing the Gordon I shared in the picture below, but I would prefer this than the exclusive version.

• Dark Knight Rises Catwoman
• Bane
• Gordon
• The Bat
• Dark Knight Rises 1/4 Scale Batman

Ther are a few others displays that Hot Toys displays at the convention, the most interesting for me is The Robocop release. Athough there were words spreading around that HT is going to remake this but this is the first time HT has responded by action.. Heh, check this out.

• Expendables Barney Ross
• Terminator 1/4 Scale T-800
• Robocop
• ED-209
• Resident Evil 4 Ada Wong Announcement

While we are engrossed with the various reveals of the Hot Toys, I suddenly recalled that they missed out the announcement of Ironman 3 and Man of Steel licences which according to a megazine reveals stated they would...

Oh last but not least, remember the rotatable stand designed by I.D Square and distributed by Hot Toys? (Click here to view if you have not!). There is picture of the same stand but with Avengers and The Dark Knight logo. While it looks cool but may cost more then the normal ones. Check it out on the pictures below!

My Collection: Banpresto Ichiban Kuji Prize lottery (一番獎): Fate/ Zero (Part 1) Prize B, C & D

Hey guys, remembered I post on the Ichiban Kuji Fate/ Zero prizes not long ago? I only took pictures of Prize G and skipped Prize A - D (can be found here). Now here's the picture I took for Prize B, C and D!

 Prize D is one of the seven servants, Berseka. His appearance was mostly in that metal armor, but he can moves and attacks very fast!

One of the coolest charactor in Fate/ Zero. Being King of Kings, Archer is so proud that he bow to no one. 

Alright everyone, here is Saber! Looking as good as always. She is the only out of the three that carries her weapon.

Since I have some extras of these, I will be sell the extra on my ebays. Guys who are interested please go to my ebay here. Or you can scroll to my ebay list on the right bar! Thanks for viewing and hope you enjoyed it.
