Hasbro Transformers Universe Deluxe Special Edition Boxed Optimus Prime SE-01

This will be the first time I'll be posting a Transformer Figure - well basically I am not a TF Collector nor am a fan of TF's but I don't dislike them. Whenever someone asks me I always say "I collect Gunpla's and my brother collects TF's" and yes since we live in different places now, I am eager to someday see his collection personally. To be honest I bought this Prime thinking he haven't got it yet but unfortunately he already have one so I might as well keep it in the shelves. To be honest, it will be harder to give a feedback since I haven't hold a TF figure for like forever, the last TF figure I held was the Gigantic Optimus Prime with the Sonic Convoy from the Movie. Still-

The Box

The figure is kept inside a neat looking black box, covered in white threshold like images. It say Optimus Prime.

The box can be opened up front to view the insides of the pacakge, here we see the autbot leader himself in his robot mode. Pretty neat huh, can be displayed in such a pretty manner - but I has to open it! I must! Optimus is calling me "OPEN ME! WE MUST SAVE CYBERTRON!"

Robot Mode

Here we see the typical Optimus Prime, I really don't know how to differentiate since I have a little knowledge in the TF Universe. He has a rifle included but too bad he doesn't have any axe. Moving on... but I still think he should have an axe - seriously... or does he? and my package was incomplete?

There's a button at the back, this button gives this unknown swinging like action. That seriously doesn't make sense. In terms of articulation though - it aint have bad as far as I remember TF figures have limited movements depending on it's class and since this is Deluxe class, articulation won't be much.

Truck Mode

And yes it still have his Truck Mode, Vehicle Mode or whatever you want to call it - I call it Yeah Mode. Well seriously transforming this thing is such a pain, I was never good at it ever since thats why I never touch my brothers toys back then - i touch them but I never intend to form then since I am afraid to broke a part.

The cannon has a placement at the back but yeah It would be cool if it has a trailer though - but.. hmm.. anyway cool truck.

The final verdict, the figure was cool in some ways but since I feel there is somethings missing - It feels dull.

Toybiz Marvel Legends Galactus Series Dr. Strange

Doctor Stephen VIncent Strange also known as Dr. Strange - a member of various team such as the Defenders, The Order, Midnight Sons, New Avengers and the Illuminati and serves as the Sorcerer Supreme - the primary protector of Earth against magical and mystical threats. Known abilites are his Mastery of magic, a genius-level intellect, a skilled neurosurgeon and believe it or not a trained martial artist.

Dr. Strange is included Galactus Wave by Toybz and includes Galatcus right arm. Probably , both him and Xavier was the most must have figure in the wave. Just like Xavier picture out Dr. Strange's comic look and you'll probably see that this one is accurate too. What actually bad was the probable height was a little small and of course those hands that stays on the rock on! position was already bad. And aside from you can't change those hands, both left and right are on those positions.

The Cape was made of soft rubber in which most toys who need a lot of clothing on their appearance has. Wonders why Toybiz didn't use a cloth instead just like on the old ML Gambit. Whatsbad about the rubber coat is it's too heavy for the figure to carry and obviously too big.

Well anyway, even without the coat Dr. Strange looks cool, rocking cool! The figure itself aint half bad in terms of movements but since the cape was too heavy and was too big it makes it less poseable.

And since it's the onlye Dr. Strange ML figure in the market I guess he will do for now - and let's hope hasbro did it better not just in pics.

Toybiz Marvel Legends Rider Series Wonderman

The next in line is Wonderman, yes the Talented Actor Simon Williams. Probably only a few know who he is but yes, he is a member of the various teams of the Avengers and what is his power? Well aside from being a talented actor, an electrical engineer, industrialist and stuntman he is also Ionic-energy empowered, has flight, extended life span, Superhuman strength, speed, stamina, agility, reflexes, and durability and virtual invulnerability. Change your mind about him? a lot of people think he is gayish since his alias was "WONDER" - admit it the first character that comes in your mind when the word wonder is involved is the queen of the amazon herself, Wonderwoman.

See Full Post

Wonderman was included in Series 11: Rider Series in which iincludes a red hover scooter which I no longer included and thrown away over the scraps in the random fodder box in my room and a small Yellow Jacket.

Not much of a figure though, articulation was well great but seems pretty normal. Though a little hunchback and has a hard time folding between the ribs.

The details was ok, but being a big strong guy - he does look like a little small and his head is a little small. Well, a reboot of this might be a little while since he is not hype yet but hoping that someday more people know who Simon Williams is.

Toybiz Marvel Legends Apocalypse Series Iron Fist

For our next Marvel Figure - let's go back to Kun-Lun to meet Daniel "Danny" Rand aka The Iron Fist. Iron Fist is commonly seen with his Heroes for Hire partner Luke Cage aka Power Man Well, same as the Luke Cage figure this was based on their retro apperances which can be recognized on those large collared shirts. For the fact that Hasbro did released the SDCC Thunderbolt Luke Cage that we all hope be released individually they are now planning to release a new Iron Fist taht is scheduled to be included in the upcoming Odin Wave Series. Well before this figure fades out and be forgotten in the toy chest, let's give it hsi own highlight.

See Full Post

In term of details, the figure itself was indeed accurate. Maybe because unlike the other heroes who has complicated designs, Danny here has one of the simplest attire you can make for a hero. But in terms of proportinaility it does look like it hass an elongated torso or such but still it was accurate enough to be unnoticed.

Left - Iron Fist, Right - Luke Cage. What seems to be weird here is noticed Luke Cage's hand? Ever wondered why he has a karate chopping hand? For some reason, I don't know either but Iron fist has the same set of hands which kinda fits him in a kind of way.

The series also has an existing H'ylthri Duplicate Variant [Red] which I posted a couple of months ago. And a few differences can be identified aside from the colour - it has a much more fiercer look because of the opened mouth and let's not forget - some collectors always thought this was a damaged in the production but no it does have a little bumpkin in his head.

Iron Fist'sisies - because there's more than one haha

Having both of them aint bad since it was explained that they are different Iron Fist. And for the figure having such an awesome articulation it good to play with - just don't play wiith it too much since loosening joints is too prone.

That facial expression though...

Well a high five for being such a great, cheap figure! I hope the incoming new version of this became much greater!

Toybiz Marvel Legends Galactus Series Charles Xavier [Professor X]

Meet Professor Charles Xavier or also known as Professor X -founder of the X-Men and runs Xaviers School for the gifted which trains and shelters mutants. Also a member of the Illuminati, and 7 more affiliations. A known Telepath, a Genius level intellect and Mind Reader - well there are a lot more so you might want to research them for yourselves. And for the additional info we all know that Xavier during this time is dead based on the AVX arc and hasn't been revived on the following comics. And for the current Avengers and X-Men Axis arc, we all know that the Red Skull took Xaviers dead unconsciosus dark side mind called Onslaught hence reviving and creating the new Onslaught Red Skull. Anyway I am stating inaccurate facts here, haha.

See Full Post

Currently there are 2 6" figures of Prof X - this was the first one made by Toybiz and was included in the Galactus Series Wave which contains Galactus Head Baf part. The Second one was the rare Movie Professor X [Patrick Stewart supposed to be look-alike]. Well, personally I like this one better -

Well aside from Galactus enormous head - we get Xaviers full articulated dressed in a suit figure, with his cool wheelchair but how I waish it was the 90's yellow wheelchair and Cerebro - the control thingy he wears to detect and find mutants.

Well aside from the "But-I-want-the-yellow-90's-wheelchair" the figure itself was great. Articulation was good except for the hands which can only wave his fingers. The arms and Wrist, the legs and feet, even the waist are moveable. Yes, in other words it was highly poseable. The details was great too, just don't visualize Patrick Stewart instead visualize the Comic Xavier and you'll fight it pretty close.

This is how much I enjoyed the figure - xavier's hidden ability - "Get the Ladies Skill!"

"Drunken Xavier"

"Flying Xavier"

"I can stand fabulously Xavier"

And the "I can really stand Xavier"

P-Bandai Online Hobby Shop Exclusive: RG 1/144 GN-001 Gundam Exia (Trans Am Mode) Gloss Injection Ver.

Before anything else, It's been a while since I have updated my blog so for starters here is a P-Bandai Exclusive for you! Basically it's not mine it's a friend kit, so thanks to him for allowing me to play with his toys - Well, mostly it's the same figure as the the first RG Exia which I already posted here with a different colour that can be identified as it's Trans-am mode in the series.

See Full Post

And mostly that's the only difference you'll get - don't even expect something special inside. No, there is no free toy inside or anything.

And If you're thinking that there was already a Trans-am version of these kits, instead from being an RG - How they are different? Well, basically aside from the details - it's colour is much sttronger and was more accurate than the HG Trans Am kits. Well they are the same Pinkish variant but the gloss effect did a much more realistic effect.

Well it did fit the prefectly good details and yeah, I think this was much better than the normal mode.

And of course, you'll met the same issue as the first one - hard to pose, brittle parts, etc ... And an additional "You cannot top coat me because I am glossy!"

Left - RG Exia, Right - RG Trans Am Exia

Well, If you ask me having both kit is not bad at all since any of the two aint look bad at all.
