February 2026 Loot

Another sumptuous haul this month and I have to admit, some of it was pure impulse buying. A portion of this haul came from the Jakarta Toys Event, and without it, the collection wouldn’t have been nearly as large.

As expected, Chinese hobby products dominate in quantity, while the Japanese items take the lead in overall value. Highlights from this haul include finally completing the Yilichuangwan Fruity Robo set, now just missing Pino-Flight to complete the full collection. The REA-Lynx packaging is as massive as expected, and I managed to snag my copy of Blokees Tarn Action Edition at a great price. On top of that, I finally completed the 52Toys Racing Car AMTS set, which I thought I would not made it.

Looks can be deceiving, though: the most expensive items aren’t necessarily the biggest. In terms of value, the top four are: B-Daman Toyrise Blue Braver, Joytoy Perturabo, Figma Chilchuck, and Sentinel’s Yoroiden Suiko Shin. Together, these four items account for roughly 70% of the haul’s total value. I was lucky enough to get Suiko Shin at a very good price, leaving only the Earth Yoroiden remaining.

Since I’m leaving my current job, I might have more free time soon perhaps enough to finally start reviewing my backlog and move fast enough to make touch some items from this haul.

Deadpool and Wolverine

 Not exactly a Marvel universe fans myself as the last Movie I watched was Avengers: Endgame. But Hugh Jackman wearing Wolverine classic costume is just too hard to ignore and thus I gave the movie a watch. I did watch Deadpool 2 Back then so I do have some sort of expectation what kind of deal I am getting into with this 4th Wall breaking R-Rated Marvel Antihero.

Overall Deadpool and Wolverine is a pretty good Action movie that manage to elevate the reputation for both Deadpool and Wolverine amidst Marvel Superhero burnout by the fans due to Disney Mismanagement. Two Marvel Heroes with contrasting personalities somehow make a Great duo to save their world in the Multiverse misadventure. Deadpool and Wolverine is probably the first time we see Marvel split IPs reunite once again in the single Movie as X-men and Fantastic Four along with other Marvel make a homage appearance in this movie.

I am watching Deadpool and Wolverine mainly due to Hugh Jackman since I never watched any of his Wolverine movies before. But I have to admit Ryan Reynolds do pull an amazing performance as Deadpool once again. I wouldn't mind to watch a sequel of this tagteam Superhero Duo in the future if Hugh Jackman feels that he is still fit enough to reprise his role as Wolverine again.
 

Toy Story 4 Cosbaby 607 Bunny and Ducky Review

To Infinity and your mom!

Early January 2020 Loot

 Actually something i gathered from last month and as usual, if it is not mecha related toys then it will be FGO related merch. I tend to get the mecha related toys after i finished watching the series which applies to Yamato and Gun X Sword, Robot Damashii Volkein is certainly a good rare catch for my recent hauls. I got myself Nendoroid Ishtar since she visited my Chaldea and likely will get one for Eresh someday when she also heed my summon. While i tend to avoid Disney merch due to disdain for their shady practice i decided to get some Toy Story 4 goodies, Bunny and Ducky is the MVP on the movie thus i bought their Cosbaby and I got Bo Peep's sheep for someone's present. I think it will be difficult to for me to cover the review for these toys in this month since i need to take plenty of things in my Real Life at this time. But Volkein will likely be the first to get the review i think.

Sampling on some Star Wars Kit

 Over past three days i have been assembling these kits as a part of assignment from my company as they need these for upcoming exhibition. Since i don't belong to Generation X, i am not really crazy with Star Wars series but i am having good experience while building these kits. For this assignment i just do straight build on the kits and applying some decals since that what i am instructed to. Bandai did good job on the details with these kits but i think in terms of pricing the star wars kit are rather pricey compared to Hasegawa's Macross model kit, something to do with the licensing cost i guess.

Out of 11 Star Wars kits consists of 7 1/72 Scale and 4 Miniplas, i think i had the most fun working on Bobba Fett's 1/72 Slave I surprisingly. As for the hardest one to build it is definitely the Y-Fighter since the Model kit got so much finely shaped wire to attach though Applying decals for the X-Wings could be frustrating too. If this was personal project i would have painted these kits especially the X-Wing since the decal are just horrible substitute for the unpainted parts of the kit. If i got opportunity in the future i don't mind building some TIE Fighters or 1/48 X-Wing
