May 30th, 2009, has come and gone. The aftermath of that day chosen by Hasbro? (FYI, it’s the worldwide launch date for ROTF, Revenge of The Fallen and no, it is not Rolling on The Floor, etc. )
Transfans (Transformers fans) has bee quick to go on a frenzy snapping up upcoming Revenge of The Fallen toys/figures. Needless to say, ol’ big bot, Optimus Prime (Leader Class) was the hottest and the fastest of the shelf. Ditto for Megatron, he is looking stockier while Optimus is slimmer.
Strangely the Voyager Class version was not as in demand. The honours go to The Fallen. Looks unique. And of course, in less quantities as I only found one after opening 2 cases (each case consists 4 units of Voyager Class TFs)
Bumblebee’s popularity seems to be going through a dip. Why? Fans are aiming for the Deluxe Class’ silver bots. Sideswipe (Autobot) and Sideways (Decepticon). They really look cool and sleek.
Which Transformers did you get, Transfans? And most important of all, let’s see what the upcoming movie has got for us, shall we?

Well, just when one thought that the past week was about to be classified as a Non-event, something happened. And of all the boo – boos, it had to be in the public too..
Yep, I suffered “wardrobe malfunction” in public. Does that mean I get tojoin the big leagues like Janet Jackson. Hmm..okay, most likely not. Here goes..
I was waiting at the bus stop after work, which something made me look down..and there the barn door was wide opened. With the quick reflexes, I dashed away from the bus stop using my backpack as body armor in a tactical retreat to assess the damage.
I untucked my shirt to do a cover-up job. Brilliant!!! Hope I don’t suffer any Marilyn Monroe-moments with the wind blowing suddenly. And luckily the shirt was long enough to..ermmm..cover my modesty. Gosh, I’ve never been so glad to reach home as fast as the bus could take me.
Moral of the story:
Check the barn door’s lock aka the zipper
Wear undies which is the same color as the pants/shorts/jeans..Camouflage!!
Wear a shirt that is long enough to cover up..
Well, that was my week..

This is it. I am taking the plunge. It’s time to take it to te next step. There’s no turning back.
No more using the Gundam markers…
Tamiya Enamel Thinner…
Tamiya Black Enamel Paint X2….
Dilute and stir. Fine-tipped paintbrush. Dip in to the thinned paint.Test on a piece of Gundam parts with panel lines. Gently touch the panel and see the paint flow along the lines.
That’s the theory. Time to put it into practice. So…here..goes…
Shaky hands…
Sweating..
to be continued…

I finally uploaded the page on the Kotobukiya’s Armored Core AC012 Fascinator Ver. Also, I’ve included a short introduction on Armored Core too. Time to start saving up for the next AC perhaps? Is everyone looking forward to the next Transformer movie?

I finally uploaded a few photos off Cyclonus, Galvatron and Hot Rodimus. To all my buddies and my cousin, so there you have it. Some photos on the site.
From what I have seen so far, the updated looks for the Classics are really nice and remains true to the ones we all grew up with back in the 80s. Call me old-fashioned, but I still prefer the classic looking Transformers than the ones from Transformers: Animated and those from the Transformers movie. In my humble opinion, too organic. Even the Autobots look evil. Try swapping the Autobot badge with the Decepticons. What say you, Transfans?

I finally got around to completing the Kotobukiya’s Armore Core Kit. A this is my very first Koto-kit, I’ d like to say, it was a satisfying built and almost as fun as Bandai’s Gunpla.
Nice details, but no internal frame/endoskeleton. I look forward to Kotobukiya improving the plastics for the kit. It feels “softer” compared to Bandai’s. Well, should one get to see this on a best buy/discounted offer and wishing to try out a Koto-kit or owning an Armored Core mech, then by all means grab it.

Recently, I am experiencing Gundam-fatigue. Hence,  yours truly  decided to try out Kotobukiya’s Armored Core kits. For my first Armored Core, I bought the AC012 Fascinator Ver.
My initial impression was that the plastic “feels” different from Bandai kits. Well, more to come as I work on this kit.
