Hasbro Star Wars Clone Wars Kit Fisto 3.75" figure

Wuddup collectors!!

Recently acquired a 2nd hand loose mint Hasbro Star Wars Clone Wars Kit Fisto #CW05 3.75" figure from Toyzone, Jakarta, Indonesia.

Kit Fisto was a renowned male Nautolan Jedi Master. He was a Jedi General in the Grand Army of the Republic, and also a member of the Jedi Council. For more info on Master Fisto, go to http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Kit_Fisto

Hasbro did a great job, with plenty of details and great finishing on the figure. Too bad it's just ordinary.. not a lot of accessories. I especially liked the Jedi Master's "hair". Kinda remind me of dreadlocks, like the ones on Jamaican dudes. As a matter of fact, the Master Dude is probably the first-dreadlock-in-space =)

This is a great addition to an already-formidable Clone Wars lineup from Hasbro. So let's check out the figure, shall we?

What it should be like when brand new (image from www)



..and this is what i got. All is there, except the box. The plate/stand is not included, i'm just borrowing it for photo session purpose.



The details are definitely there. Can tell that Hasbro spent some time in doing the dreadlocks





The package comes with a rocket blaster pack that can carry two spring-activated rockets. Very sensitive, they keep springing out =P





So here's how Master Fisto looks like with full accessories..





Pretty neat, right? Goes well with other 3.75" Clone Wars figures too..





That's it from me this time. Keep collecting and thanks for reading =)

Mace Windu Jedi Starfighter feat. Mace Windu & R8-B7

Wuddup collectors!!

As the title suggests, i've recently acquired a mint-condition Mace Windu Jedi Starfighter, a Mace Windu 3.75" figure & a R8-B7 mech droid figure set.

This set is originally from a Hasbro Star Wars Clone Wars "The Rise of Boba Fett Ultimate Battle Pack" which includes the brand-new Slave I, Mace Windu's Jedi Starfighter, and 5 action figures: Bossk, Boba Fett, R8-B7, Anakin Skywalker, and Mace Windu! You can see it on rebelscum.com, or simply hit this link: The Rise Of Boba Fett Ultimate Battle Pack Revealed .

The best part of this is that i've never owned a Mace Windu Starfighter before and this further extends my collection of Clone Wars Jedi Starfighters (alongside my Anakin & Obi-Wan Starfighters) and a R8-B7 figure before. The icing on the cake would be the Mace Windu and R8-B7 figures, which i've never owned before also. The sad part? Well, i still don't have the Slave 1 =(

Anyways, here are some pictures. Enjoy!

The Starfighter









..and this is the set where it originally came from. Goshdarn sweet package!!



As with any other Clone Wars Jedi Starfighters, the unit can be separated into two units. Let's call 'em the Jedi Unit and the Droid Unit.



The Jedi Unit



The Jedi Unit can fit the-first-brother-in-space a.k.a Mace Windu







The Jedi Unit's size is balanced compared to the Mace Windu figure. Excellent.



The Droid Unit





There's a "cockpit" that can fit a droid unit.



The cockpit can fit R8-B7.



..like so.


Pretty sweet right? Here's a view of the "complete" set, guest starring Captain Rex =)





That's it from me this time. Tune in to other posts from me soon. Cheers Masters.

S.H. Figuarts Nobi Nobita PVC figure

Wuddup collectors!

As a child i was a big fan of the Doraemon manga series. Every Sunday 8am i was routinely glued to the TV before basketball practice, only to watch Doraemon, Nobita, Giant, Suneo and Shizuka go about their funny business.

Even though it is dubbed from Japanese language to Indonesian, it still felt right and funny. The show was hugely popular and made it to at least 15 years on Indonesian TV. Not to forget that there was a comic book series as well. There's not a single child in Indonesia who grew up in the early 90s that doesn't know Doraemon.

For more info on Doraemon and the characters, please visit http://doraemon.wikia.com/wiki/Nobita_Nobi

One of the most beloved characters of the Doraemon series is Nobita, his beloved "owner". Nobita constantly gets into trouble without even having to put an effort to it, be it academically and socially. That's why Doraemon was sent by Future Nobita to save his childhood so that Nobita doesn't grow up to be a failure. Sad, i know. But there's a happy ending to it all hahahahaha =D

The news of S.H. Figuarts making a Nobita figure must have passed me, probably because i'm not a manga/tokusatsu collector. But i do like the Revoltech series of collectibles and i kinda expect this to be like Revoltech - with moveable joints, changeable parts, etc.

When i saw this on the shelf in Blok M Square, Jakarta, i just had to grab a set. You know, for ol't time's sake =)

This is how the boxed set looks like:



These are the items you'll get inside the box:





Too many to mention, IMHO. But all the accessories actually appeared on some episodes, which i'm guessing are among the most popular episodes. Otherwise, Bandai wouldn't make them as accessories, right?

The figure itself is about 10cm tall, and this is how it looks like out of the box. Lots of accessories, super-poseable, all the works.


Active mode




Lazy mode



What's Nobita without Doraemon? They do get along well as figures =) Here are some pics of Doraemon and Nobita together. I'll post Doraemon another time, though.


Angry-at-Nobita mode




Go-Anywhere-Door mode



Well that's it from me this time. In my opinion, they are money well-spent for all the things you get here and definitely worth it to relieve childhood memories =)

Until then, keep collecting to reminisce the good ol' days.

New Acquisition Via Trade: Star Wars Clone Wars #CW62: Captain Rex

Wussup collectors!

Just acquired this via trade with Master @Tinojebod: Hasbro Star Wars Clone Wars #CW62 Captain Rex (with jet pack and propulsion pack).



"You traded this with what?", you ask.. well i traded this for a set of POTF Jabba's Dancers set. Some would call me crazy for trading 3 figures for 1, especially with something from the Clone Wars Series. But i'm a sucker for the animated TV series and personally i think Hasbro did a great job at creating the figures. They are remarkably similar to the characters on TV *that's probably because it's easier to mimic animated characters than actual people*

Besides, i've had my fun with the Jabba's Dancers set.. i've had awesome pics posted on social medias featuring them, and they have become favorites among my viewers. It's time for a fresh start with Master @Tinojebod.

So, bye-bye Jabba's Dancers and welcome Captain Rex.



So what are we waiting for? Let's dissect this baby!

Front of package



Back of package



Contents



..including game dice, game card, and standee/base



Basic figure (no rocketpack attached) - already very nice







Open helmet: highly detailed face/head





The Rocketpack: consists of 3 parts to form one rocketpack









Captain Rex with full accessories







Pretty awesome overall. Everything you see here was sculpted really well, IMHO. You just have to assemble this as a whole to see that it is near perfect. 9/10.

Well that's it from me this time, i'll update this post after opening the carton and after taking pics of the actual figure. I'll keep you all posted.

Until then, keep on collecting and may the Force be with you =)
