"Yamato's 1/60 VF-17S Diamond Force!"

Macross news has been a bit slow around here, but coming this Dec is the long-awaited VF-17S Diamond Force from Macross 7! This is ace pilot Gamlin Kizaki's ride~~

Drooling... it's super sleek!

Wicked 4 antenna skull-type head :P

HLJ has it on pre-order for 22320 Yen, which is about RM921!!! That's why Macross news is slow around here :-S

"Star Wars Ultimate FX Lightsabers!"

I'll been slowly collecting these, starting with Darth Vader's. Found that the quality is quite good, and that it really feels like a real lightsaber, so I went and bought the next one, Jedi Luke's lightsaber.. and yesterday finally getting Anakin's lightsaber. Complete collection of Blue, Red and Green sabers:

Altogether now! Luke's green is the brightest one~~

The hilts are plastic, but they are given metallic paint to look, well, like metal.. The tube is plastic too, so there's no fear of breaking it as you practice swinging them around :P I should take a video to show the "light-up" and motion sensor effects too; really cool! Each retails for RM159.90, but TRU is having them for RM139.90 each now.

"Heroic Age Captain America!"

Found this Heroic Age Captain America (Comic Series) from Uncle's shop going for RM29.90 (retail price RM39.90)! I usually would only collect Movie Series line, but I like this figure's design with the shiny colors~~

Seems like Captain America figures are set to follow Thor into the clearance bins... then I'll grab a few more Comic Series design which are rather unique, like the WW2 Battlefield CA! :D
