Fan Event Attendance - 005: Hamilton Brought Me Back To The Future

At the Hammer Town Comic Con 2013 event, past met present! This is how I remember what the DeLorean Time Machine looked like when I saw the movie on VHS 20 years ago, and last Saturday (October the 5th) was a dream come true for me to see an actual replica of one of Hollywood's iconic vehicles. It got the Flux Capacitor, Mr. Fusion, control boards, computer and everything, and it is drawing a lot of people. Having to drive only 8 minutes from home, I was very happy that they had this gorgeous car in Hamilton.

Power Morpher In Diecast

It takes a whole lot of teen spirit (teen with an attitude as we speak) and a source of power, the Power Morpher to be a true Power Ranger! This Toys R Us Exclusive item gets the ultimate revamp with its silvery diecast metal and an accurate rendition of the Morpher in that late 90's TV series. Tell you, the diecast composing this Morpher gives this famous Power Ranger piece a bit amount of weight. It is quite heavy and that the coins could hurt you if you accidentally drop it hitting your toes.

Well actually, the true power of this Power Morpher comes from these two LR44 batteries.

Now here is a video of how to play this thing.

Tekken Bishoujo: Alisa Bosconovitch

Don't let her pretty darn eyes along with her pretty darn dress deceive you. This killer-android can deliver a more effective killing blow than a T-800 (Terminator) with a gatling gun. With only a few of her sold in stores, this rare and quite pricey Alisa Bosconovitch Limited Edition Statue by Kotobukiya boost herself through in pink from the classic purple one. And with her jet-thrusters sprouting and making a blast effect behind her, there is more in her than just this silly little young lady in high stockings and prom clothes.

Precautionary Product Info says- "Highly Explosive."

Marvellous Week - 002

It's marvellous! Now we got a modern Hawkeye for our modern Avengers action figure display! And carrying the Rocket Racoon BAF parts, we have Jean Grey, Black Panther and Wrecker which are equally awesome looking, and I don't know which one to open and review first.

Jean Grey sporting her Classic X-Men TV Series outfit will probably the first one since I love her being in this blue and orange type of spandex. I may also take on the Wrecker since Hasbro also did an amazing job on the sculpt of this figure and I'm glad they've already released him to finally complete our Wrecking Crew team. However, of all the four figures, it's the Black Panther that has the most spot-on rendition of the man that we've always seen in the comics.

...And so I'm confused. They all looked good. Let alone being completely excited to assemble Rocket Racoon!

The Combollector Turned One

It has been a year now that I've been collecting! I remember when I created my first Blogger post last August 19, 2012 entitled Collection and Combination where I said that I would only be collecting certain action figures in certain toylines, and combine my favourite teams of superhero characters and build-a-figures but damn... I didn't thought that out from it, I have covered a 6.5 feet tall 6-row shelf in a matter of a year.

Originally, it was Marvel Select, Marvel Legends, Play Arts Kai, Masters of the Universe Classics, and Transformers (which I am still working on) that I want to focus on, but as I go on toy hunting, I have discovered other cool and classy toys and collectibles like those from DC Direct, Revoltech, McFarlane Toys, NECA and Kotobukiya.

Upon looking at this inevitable collection expansion, I decided to cherry pick these collectibles and action figures that are meant to be kept while sell others on eBay or trade them at Kool Stuff Toys, a local toys and collectible store just right around my area.

I created The Combollector as a sort of my "diary" for these adventures I have been through with all these collectibles and other geeky stuff related to it, while the other blog, Combollector's Action Figure Collection which, thankfully, had more pageviews than this blog is like an "encyclopedia" of the action figures I've hunted.

And so... I wanna move forth with this "hunt" for another year and see how my tiny room can handle the expansion (which I'm sure it would still have another spot for another shelf). But right now, I wanna give myself a pat on the back for The Combollector has turned one year last Monday (August 19).

Preview: Maketoys Quantron

Maketoys has given us yet another Transformer Combiner-bot, and this time it's Quantron... or Computron (in reference to it's G1 Transformers counterpart). This photos are taken from that TFCon event held last July 26-28 at Mississauga, and I am one of the attendees there lucky enough to get a first look of this amazing creation by Maketoys. Hopefully before the end of this year we will see its first Combiner-bot that builds this figure.

Tekken Bishoujo: Lili

I would like to guess that most people doesn't want to hang out with rich spoiled brats for a dozen of reasons. They are too inflexible and uncontrollable, and oftentimes pick up some fights. Fortunately for this girl, she's been trained in the arts of ass whooping from... heaven knows where while being such a prissy girl. Lili Rochefort doesn't need bodyguards nor any kind of discipline; she does what she feels like doing, and this Bishoujo Statue by Kotobukiya renders all that you need to know about her.

...Or you can just play those Tekken games to get a better learning of her.
