DIRGE - TRANSFORMERS：GENERATIONS

Transformers : Generations releases DIRGE! the 3rd and final conehead seekers of Decepticons. Dirge was initially release as an Exclusive by Takara Tomy last year together with Thrust, somehow Hasbro now got the right to release both of them in mass market. Goodies for us that can't afford to get Exclusives, bad for those that pay premium price for the exclusive that have now become non-exclusive.

The packaging - Front

The packaging - Back

The packaging - Interior

JET MODE - TOP

JET MODE - BOTTOM

ROBOT MODE - FRONT

ROBOT MODE - BACK

Loving the color scheme that Dirge have, the blue and brown is TV series color accurate to me. Now if only Hasbro would release Thundercracker then all the original seekers plane would came full circle.

Lego Mini Figurines 2

Lego Mini Figurines series 2 only available exclusively at selected Toys R Us. Price at RM12.90 each, an increase of RM3 from series 1. Series 2 offer 16 Lego figures to collect from blind packaging that do not tell you what's inside the packaging. Sort of like trading figures from japan where collector try their luck in buying the pack and see what they've got, and trade them with friends and collectors alike to complete the set.

The figures comes un-assemble and with a black base and a catalog with all the figure feature in the series.

Figures that i've got are shown below :-  

From left to right : Vampire, Pharaoh, Surfer Dude, Witch and MIME artists.

Miss out on series 1 as it was all sold out, hope to find some when i',m able. Also series 3 might be coming early next year so stay tunes for news.

Haul - Masked Collection Vol.8

Got this vol 8 set from a friend's friend that happen to do bulk purchasing. The series got delay in local market for almost 1 month. Luckily for me, my friend was able to get hold of a complete set for me inclusive of secret at an affordable price. No more buying multiple blind boxes and end up with unwanted pieces.

The box packaging for this series is white in color which i think its because Fang/Joker masked was on it to compliment the color contrast. Again on the side of the box shows all the masked that is available in the series.

Case box packaging nothing difference then before, only the photo show are those in vol.8

Yes, this is the secret masked from vol.8 which is the baddies for Rider X series called APOLLO GEIST (below pic at top). Apollo made guest appearance in Rider Decade tv Series. guess that why he was in this series and as a secret.

Some pics of the Un-assemble Masked in this series.







Overall a greatly nice set to have and can't wait for vol 9 to be release.. Cheers

Storm Rider 9 inch Sword

The STORM RIDER aka FUNG WAN aka TIAN XIA aka PEDANG SETIAWAN are a few names associates with Mah Wing Seng comic book creations. Some of its 9 inch Sword Collections made from Die-cast Metal and with wooden box casing. Its 1st release only 7 sword from the popular comics book series in the early 90's then gradually extended to 10 sword currently.

The "World Greatest" Sword yield by "Cloud" (left)
and "Hero" Sword yield by Cloud's master "Nameless"

The World Greatest Sword is in glossy black, i don't know what material its made from but look like porcelain or metal covered in black paint.

The Hero sword looks like a typical Chinese sword with its sword sheath. Both are die-cast metal .

The following above is the DESTINY SABRE aka "TIAN MENG"yield by "Mo Tian Xia" a new sabre that appear in the comics 4th story arc. Nemesis to the DEMON KING SABRE.

The Tian Meng sabre cames in 2 version, the original version (Left) which is gold/ black in color and Special version which is the silver / blue in color (Right).

Both the Sabre and sheath are made from die-cast metal and are the heaviest among all the 9 inch sword series.

The following Sword are the new Generation after Wind and Cloud era. The "Lonely" Sabre" yield by "San Fung" (left) and "Loser" Sword yield by "Nie Fung" (I know direct translation of chinese name can sounds so weird)

Both the Lonely sword and Loser do not have sheath and are consider the lightweight of all. Both handle have string woven to them.

Finally the DEMON KING sabre. There are 4 version to them, 3 of them are shown like the picture above with the 3rd being a black box with red line design and the 4th being the regular rectangular shape box like all other releases. The crafting design on the boxes is simply amazing.

The Special Editions is on the left while the right is the Original Editions. They come with interchangeable parts as shown and are quite heavy in addition to the wooden box casing. The Demon King Sabre was later yield by "Nie Fung".

Other 4 Sword and Sabre not in my collections are the SNOW Sabre, Unchallenged Sword, Fire Kirin Sword and the Heaven Sins Sword. Each of the Sword and Sabre have 3 version to them which is the Original, Special and Collector Editions.
