Simone Legno's autographs at STGCC 2014

Wife and I are tokidoki fans. Every year we look forward to Simone Legno (tokidoki creator) visiting Singapore at STGCC to meet up with him, and also get his autographs and sketches.

This year, we bought along both our Pullip Violettas - 1 opened, 1 in box - for Simone to autograph. We asked if he could give our Violetta personalised 'tattoos' ( just like he gave our Pullip Luna last year ) and he duly obliged!

Transformers Jetfire (Leader-class)

When I was young, one of my favourite Transformers is Autobot Jetfire. Not because of the cartoon or comics, but because the G1 toy was a Macross VF-1S Valkyrie fighter/mecha. Yes, I was a fan of Macross even before Transformers. ;)

Of course, Hasbro was never able to reissue Jetfire based on that design due to licence issue. But this Generations Leader-class Jetfire comes pretty darn close, down to the rocket boosters!

Top Gun Throwback Thursday

How many readers still keep your old cassette tapes? ;)

Happy Throwback Thursday!
  

SDCC 2014 tokidoki x Pullip and Dal

Just revealed on tokidoki's blog - Pullip Super Stella and Dal Vendettina will be sold at SDCC 2014!

This is the first time a convention-exclusive Pullip is a tokidoki collab. Also the first time we have a tokidoki x Dal doll.

Unfortunately, according to the blog only 250 dolls were made! Hope there's a chance of getting them from other sources... and at reasonable price!

Review: Lego 70816 Benny's Spaceship

Do you want to build a spaceship?
It'll be colored blue and gray
I just cannot wait anymore
To open up the box
Let's finish this today!

I've actually completed building this set 2 weeks ago but haven't had time to post this. Building this set brings back memories of all the old classic space sets I've built long ago. Wave of nostalgia when I poured out those blue, grey and yellow bricks!

Panini World Cup sticker albums

I found my old World Cup Mexico'86 and Italia'90 Panini sticker albums! Mexico is complete but Italia missing a few stickers. I haven't bought anymore after these, not even this year's.

Quite nostalgic looking through them and seeing familiar names, many of whom are managers now. They look so young then!
