Tensou Sentai Gosei Machines 1A

Mystic Brothers

Mystic brothers comprises of Ostrich runner and egg header, the egg header splits into 2 to form 2 headers.

The ostrich looks really neat, and yes, it's the first time there's an ostrich.

Mystic Brothers combination

Combining with the Mystic Brothers, Gosei Great becomes Mystic Gosei Great.

The Mystic Runner attaches to Gosei Great's left shoulder and the two halves of the Egg Headder attach to its feet, forming a shoulder-mounted flail.

The Mystic brothers set is more like a weapon attachment set then recreating a new mecha. This is combination is lacking but still has some nice playabilty.

Tensou Sentai Gosei Machines 1

  Here's another sentai series with another big mecha. Since 2010, Tensou Sentai Goseigers is one of the few Sentai series that we have yet to get a Bandai America treatment. Though I didn't really catch all the episodes, I managed to recently acquired a Japanese Gosei machines set at a bargain price.

First up is the first main mecha, Gosei Great.

The Gosei Headers are used to summon the Gosei machines,  when the headers attached themselves to various vehicles to become Gosei machines.

Gosei Great comprises of 5 mechas which combine to form one robot.

Gosei Dragon header combines with a airliner to form Gosei Dragon which is control by Gosei Red.

Gosei Blue's header combines with a submarine to become Gosei Shark.

Gosei Pink's header combines with a fighter jet to become Gosei Phoenix.

Combining with a bulldozer, Gosei Yellow's header becomes Gosei Tiger.

Gosei Black's header merges with a Bullet train to become Gosei snake.

                                             "TENSOU GATTAI GOSEI GREAT-TO!!"

Not a bad robot mode, nicely porpotioned and like most sentai robos, articulation is limited. Gosei Great only has arm articulation and the tail and neck of Gosei Dragon form the Dragon sword.

Fansproject Causilty CA-05 Backfiery (Not Kickback)

Finally, I finally got the final figure of the Not-insecticon team by the Causality line by Fansproject. CA-05 BackFiery or effectionately known as Kickback by G1 fans. As most of us Transformers fans remembered the Insecticons as these trio of energon raving, bug transfoming army of drones, Fansproject has done it again by giving us another excellent revamp of the classic threesome.

Seriously, after opening the toy, this has to be the best releases to date though the insect mode is not something to brag about, the robot mode is really superb with real excellent articulation and poseabilty.

 It's a real nicely done representation of the insecticons though Im not really drawn to the back story of each of them. All and all, If you're a G1 fan or really love cool robots, this one is worth checking out, to me, highly recommended unless you're on really tight budget as these guys don't come cheap.

(added reprolabel's Decepticon insignias)

And I have to give props to the place I got them from, real cool toyshop with lotsa cool stuff.

Brought to you by the excellent guys at

Do check them out!!

Hopper hell brothers and more

After some time of soul searching, I finally decided to get the SHfiguarts Hopper hell brothers from Masked Rider Kabuto series. Kick hopper and Punch Hopper, though they are short-lived characters in the series, I just love the suit designs and thier characters in the show.

Here's more SHfiguarts I recently purchased, yes, I'm just showing off....

The Riders

During the whole span of October, I've been searching for more Masked rider, mainly for Souchak's Den O figures and SHfiguarts figures.
So superheroes are on waiting lists, though I recently received a Matty collector mailaway DC Retro Kyle Rayner which I plainly forgot I preordered and as for Transformers, the Fansproject Causality line CA-05 Not kickback or BackFiery"firey"fury" and of cos CA-04.
Here's the new rider I just gotten.

Another Sundays haul

Sh figuarts Kamen Riders part 1

Another Souchaku Henshin Den-O from OG sales which was only available from the Chinatown branch. Still at a real steal $19.95 SGD but this time, this is a sword-form version.

Aftermath of the sale, namely Souchaku Henshin Den-Os, I started getting more and more riders from the SH figuarts line though I started out late, surprisingly, some stores here still have older ones around. The bad news, there are quite a number of Exclusives or mail-aways in the line which either is too hard to find or too damn hefty in price.
