Hi guys... it's been some time since I updated this thread. Things have been heavy in the office and it's only now that I got a chance to take pix and post. Anyway, here's what I got for the month of December.
After almost 2 years of pursuing DC (and Iron Man) action figures, I decided to go back to my roots - Japanese collectibles. Let's start with my personal favorite, Transformers.
Generation 2 (G2) Grimlock and Slag
... check out the funky G2 colors
These guys are just waiting for their TF Classics counterpart to arrive.
G1 Grimlock
G2 Grimlock
WST Grimlock
Pretender Grimlock
... hopefully, i can take pix of Slag and his versions sometime..
TF Classics: Battle for Autobot City - Ultramagnus vs. Skywarp
... the classics line is barely 2 months old and the recolors are starting to come.
TF Classics: The Ultimate Battle - Optimus Prime vs. Megatron
... this comes with an exclusive DVD. I will post DVD screencaps later at Cybertron Philippines. Please watch out for it
Titanium Transformers Megatron
... I'm starting to enjoy this line. Who couldn't say no to a TF series made of die-cast featuring different versions of our favorite G1 characters.
Titanium Transformers: Scourge
...straight from the classic Transformers the Movie
Moving on to Tokusatsu...
Souchaku Henshin Masked Rider Faiz Blaster Form (from Kamen Rider Faiz)
... waiting for Faiz Accel form to arrive
Souchaku Henshin Kamen Rider Zolda and Imperer (from Kamen Rider Ryuki)
Souchaku Henshin Kamen Rider Taiga/Tiger and Raia (from Kamen Rider Ryuki)
Souchaku Henshin Kamen Rider Scissors and Odin (from Kamen Rider Ryuki)
KR Knight is arriving too... I just need Ryuki himself to complete this series. Any kind of tip to acquire Ryuki will be greatly appreciated
Souchaku Henshin KR Hibiki Kurenai Armor (from KR Hibiki) and Space Sheriff Gavan... finally completed Hibiki's 3 forms. Also completed the 3 space sheriffs (Gavan, Sharivan and Shaider)
... if you have the Shaider DVD (available at greenhills), you can find the team up movie in the last disc.
from Kamen Rider Blade -- KR Chalice, Glaive and Garren
Souchaku Henshin Mirror Monsters EX-01
Metalgelas (Rhino) - KR Gai's contract monster
Gigazelle (Gazelle) - KR Imperer's contract monster
Evil Diver (Manta Ray) - KR Raia's contract monster
pix of boxset's back
... these SH Mirror Monsters are made of die-cast to match their SH KR counterparts...
R&M (Rider and Monster Series) 4
comes with KR Ouja and his 3 contract monsters -- Venosnaker (King Cobra), Metalgelas (Rhino) and Evil Diver (Manta Ray)... these 3 mirror monsters can combine and form Genosider
Souchaku Henshin KR Kuuga Ultimate form - Japan version. The boxset came with his three Rising weapons also in Ultimate Mode. (Lance from Rising Dragon Form, Crossbow from Rising Pegasus Form and Sword from Rising Titan Form). This also comes with a Grongi Kaijin Go-Gadaru-Ba and a display stand for Kuuga.
... The Kuuga boxset is a Christmas gift from Protoform-S (Stephen)... Thank you very much for this gift, bro!
Rogue Orphenocs - The orphenocs goal is to annihilate humans either by turning them into orphenochs or killing them completely. However, Rogue orphenocs are those who believe that they can still live as humans. They refuse to kill and are targets for elimination by Smart Brain.
Wolf Orphenoc - yup, that's KR Faiz's Orphenoc form
Crane Orphenoc - Yuka Osada
Snake Orphenoc - Naoya Kaido
Horse Orphenoc - Yuji Kiba
here's a size comparison between the Wolf Orphenoc and Mattel's Superman
Rider Series: Riot Troopers (From KR Faiz)
... this is the only representation of the Riot troopers that I can get. There are 6 of the in the tv series and hundreds in the movie
... There might be a good chance that these will find its way in the sale bin since nobody really knows them... I might get more of these if that happens
The Bikes are an integral part of all Kamen Riders... without it, they will simply be known as Kamen Walkers or Kamen Strollers... worse, Kamen Hitchers... Here's some of the KR bikes that I got the past few weeks...
Trychaser-Battle Gouram boxset - this is a Christmas gift from my Cybertron Philippines buddies, Protoform-S, BlackBison, DC723 and Wildstar
... this is Kamen Rider Kuuga's ride
Ride Shooter from Kamen Rider Ryuki
Kamen Riders from the Ryuki universe ride this bike to cross over to the mirror world...
This bike is one of my favorties... die-cast content is high. This collectible is really heavy... and not to mention, very affordable
Kamen Rider Faiz's bike, Auto-vajin
... this version is fully compatible with the Souchaku Henshin line. This has good die-cast content... but it is non-transforming...
... btw, I bought this at TRU Galleria... they are currently having a sale... got this at 10% off... then I got another 1% off for using BPI's Electronic Payment System (EPS)...
Kamen Rider Kaixa's bike, Side Basher
... less 10%, less 1% on this beauty at TRU Robinson's Galleria
Battle Hopper and Acrobattar from Kamen Rider Black and Black RX
... the latest bike released in the Souchaku Henshin line...
Kamen Rider the 1st and 2nd + their bikes
... this is a gift from Cybertron Philippines' Kamen Rider guru, Black and his wife... Thank you very much for these! These are such great gifts...
Cast-Off Rider Series: Kamen Rider Gattack
Cast-off Rider Series: KR Kabuto Movie
... KR Caucasus, Hercus and Ketaros... you really have to watch Kamen Rider Kabuto the Movie to appreciate these 3 KRs... especially the Golden Rider Caucasus... the movie will explain a lot of loose ends in the tv series -- like where did Kabuto get his Hyper Zecter.
Cast-off Rider Series: Punch Hopper and Kick Hopper
... the final 2 figs to complete my KR Kabuto collectibles... since there's still no souchaku henshin versions of these 2, the cast-off series (which is also a great line) version will do.
Ultimate Solid Kamen Rider Series 2 - big scale gashas
KR V3, KR Kabuto and KR Faiz
KR Amazon and KR Black
These gashas are huge... check out their size comparison with regular sized gashas... and the best part is that it is priced the same as the regular gashas.
*pix borrowed from Black of Cybertron Philippines and Black's Market
check out the level of detail...
*pix borrowed from Black of Cybertron Philippines and Black's Market
...and the figures have lots of gimmicks...
... you can remove the kabuto zecter from Kabuto's belt and place it in his hands ;D
*pix borrowed from Black of Cybertron Philippines and Black's Market
...moving on to Super Sentai
30th Anniversary of Super Sentai Series: Red Rangers
... the boxset includes all 32 figures: all of the 30 Red Rangers, Big One and Denzidog.
close up of all the rangers
... got this at a really good price -- it's like paying Php209.00 per fig.
Daivoyager (from Boukenger)
... this mech is HUGE... just the way we love it
Sentai Girls in Uniform gasha
Chimera from Dynaman
Momo/OhPink from Ohranger
Sayaka/ChangeMermaid from Changeman

also got some stuff to fortify one of my favorite artists -- Leiji Matsumoto (Danguard Ace, Space Battleship Yamato, Queen Emeraldas, Captain Harlock, Galaxy Express 999)
Arcadia polystone
...inside cover
... more Leiji Matsumoto characters gasha
what's the difference between the two? the one on the right is the chase figure... it has a translucent face...
