Some New Additions To The Collection


From top left to right - S.T.A.R.S Version Albert Wesker (RE5), T-800 (Terminator 2).
Bottom left to right - Mech Test Tony Stark (Iron Man), S.T.A.R.S Version Chris Redfield (RE5)





Just a quick update on my toy collection. The latest additions to my 12" figure collection are namely Albert Wesker and Chris Redfield from the Playstation game, Resident Evil 5, dressed up in their S.T.A.R.S uniforms from the original game. Also joining the collection is Arnold Schwarzenegger as the T-800 model Terminator from the movie Terminator 2 - Judgment Day, along with Robert Downey Jr as Tony Stark in his test suit from Iron Man. I did also pick up the "Renewal version" Snake Eater from the Playstation game, Metal Gear Solid 3. I must say I really am digging the T-800 and Mech Test Tony Stark - really awesome head sculpts and great attention to detail on the accessories and clothing. Hot Toys is no doubt the market leader for 12" collectibles.

That's all for now. Will post again when I have the time to do so.

Medicom Toy Masked Rider V3 Deluxe Type 2009



Got this 2009 edition of Rider V3 on Friday from the annual The Falcon Hangar Sale. There was some good stuff there. If you were in Singapore and missed it, I can only say too bad. Back to the figure, not much difference from the previous version except for the tint of green for the suit. Comes with standard extra antennae and three pairs of hands, and the clear stand. Overall good construction and finish, which is a hit and miss with Medicom products. Well I think I'm done with my masked rider collection. Looking forward to the reissue of the Solid Snake figure from MGS!

Adidas Gonzales Superstar Skate



Very comfy shoes from Adidas Skateboarding. Based on their classic Superstar series, this pair comes with a padded tongue and what seems to be extra cushioning at the heel area. Also has custom graphics from the legend himself, Mark Gonzales. I like!
