Star Wars Action Figures - Clone Wars

Updated Post on 20 August 2008, 26 August 2008, 1 September 2008


Star Wars - Clone Wars Action Figures
I am glad that I was able to get these Clone Wars Action Figures that has the "1st day of issue" sticker on it. The Star Wars logo on card is also printed in shiny metallic blue.
Although my feets are still a little painful from the walking around searching for these on 26 July 08...I still think it's worth it!
I started collecting Star Wars only from year 2006, like a delay timer and started when all the 6 epsiodes were finished...all the midnight events.... Gone!!!
These set of Action Figures will be very special to me because I've finally got something before the Movie's out...Got to go to a midnight launch, get the AF on the 1st day...etc.
As a Star Wars fan it's something like a adventure!

Post Additions on 20 August 2008 :
Commander Fox
Theme : Clone Wars
Year : 2008
It's a super nice Action figure but I don't see the need to have this Commander Fox figure to be in a clamshell and charging us collectors more money with it...
It's a action figure with the same Clone Wars card!!!




Post Additions on 1 September 2008 :
501st Clone Trooper
Theme : Clone Wars
Year : 2008
This figure is priced the same price as the Commander Fox above.
But worse!!! Don't even have a clamshell case!
I'm really very displeased with all the price hikes.
Anyway, I think I'll probably quit this Hasbro collecting hobby soon.
Prices are just getting more and more ridiculous here in Singapore.

24 hours Star Wars RUSH

The day has finally arrived!
26th July 2008 - Star Wars Clone Wars Toys Launch!
It's now 11.37pm and I have just settle down back home about an hour ago!
Whole body ache! Especially leg pain!
Visited a lot of Singapore departmental stores today.
Managed to find all the figures I was looking for including some unexpected finds!
Now to recap my 24 hour Star Wars toy trip.
"24 hours of a Star Wars Fans"

Reached Forum mall shopping centre at about 11.15pm, Friday 25th July 2008.
There was some activity on stage including lucky draws of some Star Wars collectibles to be given away.
Immediately, I took a fast snap shots of the 501st legion and quickly proceeded to join in the queue.


Toys R Us - Rule, Regulations and Promotions notice!


1st Stage - Basement level queue.
Everyone needs to get a no. tag before entering the lift in a group of about 8 people each time.


Clone Wars posters were hung up inside the shopping centre.


Not long, I spotted Vader coming and entering the lift!
By the time I take out my camera...
...er...at least I got a his back view!LOL!


Stage 2 - Up the Lift! Queue at 3rd Storey...Getting ready to dash into the store!
We were all ushered up to the lift to reached TRU systematically.
To get ready for the 12 midnight launch on 26 July 2008.
I can hear from the manager at basement shouting into the walkie talkie "Get everyone up by 12 midnight...Quickly..."
They really managed to get everyone up by 12!Incredible!


Count down to Clone Wars timer board.
I think TRU did a very good job on this event.
No mess up and everything was in a good order!
10...9...8...7...6...5...4...3...2...1...RUN!!!


Store front of Toys R Us!


My disappointment is the the BMF, priced too expensive.
At least for me, it is! It is priced at S$339.90.
The AT-TE packaing is impressive looking.
Couldn't find the Clone Trooper helmet, only have the Darth Vader voice changer.
I brought some action figures and 1 clone wars vehicle.
Especially glad that I've found the Ewok AF, including many AF with the 1st day of issue sticker and shiny foil Star Wars logo.


Basement's all clear out!
I left the place at about 1 am.


Interval Time : Home Sweet Home...Snoozeeee...Snooze..... Zzzzzz.ZzzzZZzzzzzzz

26th July 2008 - 11.30pm
My first stop... Orchard Road.
...Takashimaya Toy Departmental Store!


Then to
>>> Paragon TRU>>> Paragon Metro>>>Isetan>>> Back to Forum TRU again ...


>>> Centrepoint - Robinson>>> Beside Centrepoint - OG>>> Parco - BHG>>> OG near bencoolen>>> Raffles City - Robinson>>> Suntec City - TRU>>> Suntec City - Carrefour>>> Vivo City - TRU>>> People's Park - OG>>>Tampiness-TRU>>>Century Square-BHG and last stop, Jurong Point - TRU

Photo taken on the way to Jurong Point.
Junction at Macpherson.
Nice sky... Time is about 7 plus.
I was rather tired by then but I'm glad today did not rain.
Last stop - Jurong Point - TRU. Reached home about 10pm.


Stuffs I brought at the TRU Clone Wars Midnight Launch.
I got a free holographic General Grievious and a poster for purchases above S$150.00.

Stuff I brought later in other departmental stores.
Completed the Action Figures that I've wanted to find.
Plus, very happy to find the Mighty Muggs and Star Wars vehicles too.
My sum up total purchases for this 24 hours Star Wars rush is S$410.00.
I'll post their individual photos later in their respective posts.


This is also the first time seeing so many Star Wars collectors hunting on the same day.
Some are also quite friendly and strangers would come and strike up conversations.
Chat about their collections, what they or you are looking for...etc.
Letting one another know where got this or there got what!!! Hee hee...
I would say I really enjoy the midnight launch and go crazy around Singapore looking for the AF I want. Aha...LOL!
This post concluded my first experience with Star Wars Toy launch!

Clone Wars Midnight Launch

Seconds are passing like minutes and minutes like hours!!!
Endure! Endure!
Two more hours to go to 12 midnight!
Arrugghhhh...cannot stand it anymore!
I'm off to the Clone Wars midnight launch NOW!

Star Wars 12" Collector's Series

Star Wars 12" Doll Collector Series
These are among one of my favourite Star Wars collectibles.
They are not Vintage Star Wars doll but to me it is good enough to find and have them.
Owning a vintage 12" star wars would be a dream come true but sadly, I would say, the price is simply out of my reached.

Star Wars - Clone Wars stuffs

Updated Post on 2 September 2008



I'm actually quite excited over the midnight launched for Clone Wars toys in Toys R Us nationwide.
It will be my very first experience for a Star Wars midnight event.
So, I'm looking forward to it everyday and now it's only 3 days away...
I hope I'll be able to see the 2.5ft Big Millenium Falcon (BMF) on the shelves that night.
And hopefully the price of it will not be too high, so that most people can afford it in times like these.
The Star Wars mania in me says "Buy it!Buy it! It's the biggest Star Wars Hasbro toy ever!"
"It's your favourite Star Wars spaceship."
"It's got lights like the movie's Millenium Falcon!"
"It can fit in 18 Star Wars Action Figures!"
... ... ... ...
The other side of me tells me : "You've already got a 1.5ft sized MF and a galactic heroes MF, it doesn't really make any difference if you buy one more!"
"Please save some money for rainy days !"
"Don't buy now! Might ended up as SALE item sometime later!"
"You have NO space at home for such a BIG spaceship!"
Confusing, huh?
....LOL at myself...I'm getting headaches over a TOY! AHA...haaaaaaaa

And well, as for the movie, frankly speaking, seeing the movie trailer didn't really make me like the movie. But I still do have high expectation and anticipation for a Star Wars animation film.
So I really can't comment anything now because the movie's not even out yet.
As a Star Wars fans, I naturally hope that this will be another of George Lucas sell-out blockbuster!!
While I was surfing the net, I found some interesting infos, vidoes and images.
Here's sharing the trailer first :

I'm just back from watching the Clone Wars.
I would say if this is NOT an animated movie, it would really be a very good one then!
The story and the editing is very good.
The thing I really don't like about the Clone Wars movie is the hair on Obi-Wan and Anakin.
The thick beard on Obi Wan is much worse...
There's no life in their hairs. It just looks like some sort of papercut...flat and stick there with tons of hard hair gels!
U see them fighting, running, jumping all over the place, but the hair is exactly the same!
No movements... I wonder why?
As for the Hasbro Big Millenium Falcon, if anyone is wondering whether I've brought it, the answer is Nope! I am turn-off by the price of S$339.000.

原谅我 - 萧敬腾 (Forgive Me - Xiao Jing Teng)

Heard this song just a couple of days ago and cannot get enough of listening to it.
This new singer from Taiwan is very talented and I like the way he sing this song, full of feelings.
Found the following video on U-tube :

萧敬腾 - 原谅我
Forgive Me - Jam Xiao Jing Teng


Credits : U-Tube - Jimmywee94

原諒我 - 蕭敬騰
作曲：阿沁
填詞：阿沁．陳天佑 ．吳易緯

請不要分了以後
還記得親吻過的承諾
你的永久已不屬於我
默默低頭
那時我很多話哽在喉嚨

你的笑你的快樂
不是我愛太多想太多
我能感受他比我適合
愛放了手我偽裝冷漠
比你先說分手

請原諒我原諒我不成熟
不愛你是藉口好讓你離開我
請原諒我好想自私將你佔有
一個寂寞就給我承受
換你過更好的生活

(Repeat all above)

愛過恨過哭過也笑過　
親吻過你的脆弱
其實我比誰都要懦弱

原諒我必須假裝愛錯
別讓時間倒流我怕說不出口
原諒我沒有解釋太多心痛
別無所求徹底忘了我
愛原來要捨得
我難過我才懂

Star Wars Helmets

Updated Post on 1st October 2008

I hope you are looking into this post not for 1:1 Star Wars helmets because I do not own any.
Although, owning a 1:1 Star Wars helmets is included in my Wish List.
I've never really save up enough to buy a 1:1 helmet yet.
Too many other toys distractions!
But someday, I will have at least one Clone Trooper helmet! Must strike lottery first! Ha ha haaaa...
Think of the helmet also feel so happy! How silly of me!
Ok, now back to this post, this only one shown here is my recent purchase...

Darth Vader - Scaled Replica w/ electronics
Brand : Master Replicas
Year : 2007
Height of Vader Helmet : 21cm


This helmet is very well made.
Many details included on the inner helmet.
The only thing I don't like is the packaging.
So the first thing I did when I brought this home was to take it out of the box.
Put in the batteries and test the electronics too!
It has a built in movement sensor, so whenever you walk pass, it'll say something.
I think it the original James Earl's voice...
Now whenever I walked into my room, my eyes will automatically zoom in at this Darth Vader. Aha... can't blame a Vader's fans, right?

Out of the box!Ah...fresh air!






Post Addition on 1st October 2008

Darth Vader Voice Changer Helmet
Make : Hasbro
Theme : Clone Wars lookalike packaging
Year : 2008
Description on box : Fit head size ages 5 and up through adult
There's some pre-recorded Darth Vader voice.
Helmet has an adjustible strap.
The bodyplate is hung at the bottom of the helmet. Fixed length.

Three different built in modes :
- Darth Vader Breathing Sound
- Movie dialouges by Darth Vader
You don't know the power of the dark side!
Your powers are weak.
Don't make me destroy you!
There is no escape.
The Force is with you.
- Voice Changer (The red button)

Blogging just another day!

I usually don't write too much about myself or what I do!
Simply because I don't think anyone would be interested!
I'm still sticking my personal stuff to an old little diary.
Does anyone still have the habit of writting a diary book?
If you've noticed or been reading, I'm always talking about toys!
I feel it's much more comfortable writting something leisurely.
Anyway, it was created in the first place as a blog about toys.
It's now about 6pm. Going out soon for dinner!
How time files...
I've spent my entire afternoon reading other's blogs.
Leaving comments when I stumbled upon blogs I like.
Recently, I found some blogs from our local TV stars.
Some are quite interesting and it also gave us an opporunity to know more about the stars.
I think it is also good for them to have a place to express themselves.
A place for them to interact with their fans.
To let fans know first hand about their feelings and thoughts...etc.
Better than to have some newspapers create a big woo-ha of something irrelevant or FAKE news.
Blogging could well be a de-stressing place for them.
Does blogging makes you less stress? Or more stress?
Do leave me some comments to let me know! Thanks!
In case you are wondering about me!
Blogging sometimes does makes me less stressful.
Makes me forget about the stress about life, work, money, people...etc.
Because it occupies so much of my time taking pictures, uploading pictures, think of what to write, what to post...etc.
So I got not much spare time left to think about LIFE!
Aha... all I can say is I still enjoy blogging as much as when I just started!

Don't know what to group them in! Aha...so I'll just named it "Special!"
Figures painted with different colours are also grouped in here.

Clone Trooper - Silver

Does anyone knows what promotion it originally was used for?




Princess Leia - Holographic
Year : 2005

Darth Vader - Red
Theme : Christmas 2005 Holiday Edition
Year : 2005
This have got to be one of my favourite Darth Vader!
Red!!! It's my favourite colour too!




Stormtrooper
Theme : 501st Legion w/ Vader's Fist Flag
Year : 2006
A figure that celecbrates the 501st Legion.
I think most of the members would have kept one of these!
Just in case anyone doesn't know what's 501st Legion.
It's the official Star Wars costume fan site all over the world!
They are the people who dressed up as their favourite star wars characters.
Turning all our Star Wars characters to life!!!
Cheers to these people!




R2-KT
Theme : 501st Legion - Make a Wish Foundation
Year : 2006
A toy with a sad and touching true story.
R2-KT was created in honor of a little girl called "Katie Johnson"
Katie passed away from brain cancer on 9th August 2005 when she was only seven!
Her father - Albin Johnson is the founder of 501st Legion.
Katie's sister, Aille thought it would be great to have a driod to watch over her sister while she underwent treatments.
So the R2 Builders Club made a unique R2 specially for Katie and name it "KT".
Also through the Make a Wish foundation, Katie's wish to visit Disney World was also granted.

Star Wars - Concept by Ralph McQuarrie

Updated Post on 4 August 2008(New photos added), 8 December 2008

Star Wars Concept Action Figures by Ralph McQuarrie
These action figures are quite difficult to find them in department stores.
Or maybe it was just my luck...Signed!
Mostly Chewbacca and StarKiller Hero are the leftovers!
I've got most of these at toy's stores at about 30% more of the original price.
Boba Fett and Stormtrooper's prices are both shooting up by 50% or more now.
Sometimes, I really wonder... MUST TOYS BE SO EXPENSIVE???
I like the concept Boba Fett the best.
It is also the figure that took me the longest time to find it. But it's worth it!

A lot of people brought these Giant To-Fu at the convention, it's really hard not to see these TO-FU! I think it's one of the best sellers there!

I just brought a small To-Fu at the convention for him to sign on.
This is my Bubble-Gum TO-FU!
He personalized the top and back of the TO-FU...It is soooooo cute!

The monsters toy collectibles were rather special, unlike most toys on the market.
It's a pity I couldn't get any of his toys. The characters I like were all sold out on the 2nd when I went back! Arughh...! But I managed to get his autograph on a poster and event guide!

Mr. Pete did a cute artwork on my STCC event guide with his autograph too!

Star Wars Mighty Muggs

Updated Post on 13 July 2008, 19 July 2008, 27 July 2008, 16 October 2008

Previously I've some of these Star Wars Mighty Muggs posted together with Star Wars Funko Bobble Heads and Chubby on 15 May 2008.
Since my collection on these Mighty Mugss have grown, I decided to give them a single post!

Star Wars Mighty Muggs
Manufacturer : Hasbro
Box Size (LXWXH) : 14 x 9 x 19 cm
Figure Size : 15 cm

A newly release Star Wars collectibles.
Very creative and unique.
Something different from the usual kind of characters.
The prices for some of these figures has gone up by about 30% more than original price at toy stores.
Especially, Storm trooper which is extremely hard to find!
Oh... I must work hard to find one soon!!!
Some toy stores even packed them into a pack of 4 different characters.
You'll probably ended up with 2 good ones and 2 bad ones.
Meaning 2 very likable characters and 2 characters that are not so popular among Star Wars fans.
Anyway, I don't think these actually comes in a series of 4!!!
So I only brought these each separately.
But it'll take me much more time to hunt for the ones I want!

Mario Party Mini PEZ

Just when I was giving up hope of finding Japanese Mini PEZ in Singapore...
Even tried many unsuccessful bids at ebay on Mini PEZ!
Had finally found it today! Aha...call for celebration!!!
Moreover, it's a set from my favourite DS characters-Mario Party!
We have here - Mario, Yoshi, Toad, Donkey Kong and Wario.
These Japanese PEZ are dispensed from those capsule machine that you slot money in and out comes a plastic ball with unknown surprises in it!
This is also my first time seeing a Japanese PEZ.
I've thought it to be smaller.
But it's about 6-7cm each.
Bigger than I've imagine and it's really adorable!
In fact the character head is the same size as a regular PEZ except that their PEZ stem is half in height of a normal PEZ.
Do you think these are cute?




Certainly these few guys deserve a PEZ portrait on their own! SMILE!

Year : 2008
Box Size : 48 x 38 x 9.5cm
This was the LEGO I've been eyeing on since it's first launched in August.
To me, I find the price is slightly on the high side in Singapore for a Star Wars LEGO playset of this approx. size.
The price factor was what caused me to hold back getting this...
Anyway, since I've already brought it now, no use heartpain anymore!
Must think only of the good side!
I've yet seen the actual model of this LEGO set on display but the box art has already captured my heart. The AT-TE walker looked solid!
Apart from the AT-TE walker, I also find LEGO to have included Jabba's son - Rotta figure to be a great suprised. It's really cute.
