January Purchase (3) - DX Geki Nunchuck

Yeah! My haul from eBay finally arrived!! Had been very disappointed by Taobao.com after some unsuccessful attempts to purchase 1, whereby the sellers always claimed out of stock after orders are placed... luckily found 1 slightly more expensive one, at SGD $32.15... But still, it is already considered to be super super cheap, for a relatively rare item (I think...) like this... Happy... Now waiting for my Nitro Blaster... sigh... Hope it arrive with no hiccups...



String has frayed a little, after some swinging from me and my little nephew... Its a bit short though... Can make it longer? Hmm...

January Purchase (2) - Gashapon Keychain Wizard Rings, DX Crystal Gunber (2nd Buy), DX Geki Changer, DX Geki Tonfa, DX Suit-Up Flying Sword Jet Caliber

Haul from taobao.com and Taiwan Yahoo shopping site... actually is collected last night...

Gashapon Keychain Wizard Rings
For my home-made Hamel Cane... Cost approximately $15.45 for 6 rings... Sigh, expensive...



DX Crystal Gunber (2nd Buy)
2nd time buying... Mainly for the sound-light circuit to be implanted into the KO Perfect Zecter... There are different (decent) sounds for sword mode and gun mode, which is nice... It's quite weird that this claims to be a Bandai product... so... nevermind... Cost approximately $21.85 for 2 pieces, loose shipping... Design is good, with proper gun and sword modes, which the blades remind me of light-sabers, hahahaha... .... Probably I will keep 1 for display...



DX Geki Changer
Gekirangers!!!!! Bought this from Taiwan Yahoo shopping site, at a very very cheap price... Approximately $19.55 only!!! Since this is too small for adults, I did not buy 1 more for myself, and also I have limited space for my display rack (to be made soon, I hope)... Will be the CNY present for my little nephew... Also bought 2 Koeda Chan dolls for my little niece, hahaha...




DX Geki Tonfa
Was happy, until I realized the box has been opened (seal-tape was cut at 1 side of box), and also the instructions sheet are not in a bag, but taped directly to the plastic tray inset, and was torn... I tried to console my self that it might have been the seller or agent staff open to check but frankly, I don't think so as the other packages from the same seller are properly sealed (unopened)... Luckily I intended to keep it as display, so I shall perform the ultimate cleaning ceremony with my trusted anti-bacterial wipes... later... hahahaha... The handle is a bit too short to hold and rotate when welding them in tonfa mode... sounds are ridiculous... but still, nice for a display, heehee.... Cost approximately $28.95....




DX Suit-Up Flying Sword Jet Caliber
This is an add-on item for TWD99 when purchasing the DX Geki Changer or DX Geki Tonfa... Because of the big size, it cost approximately $8.05... Cheap!!!!!!! Hahahaha.... But the blade is a little too narrow... This item is from the Tomica Hero: Rescue Fire line...

January Purchase (1) - Assorted Super Sentai / Power Rangers Morphers and Weapons

Received these items from 65Daigou last night... These are bought off Taobao.com, so sometimes can have quite fascinating finds, especially KOs... I mentioned in an earlier post that I am now shifting in to collect Super Sentai / Power Rangers weapons...

First up, the morphers...

Super Mini Go-Phone
Super mini Go-phones which don't look like knockoffs, as there is a 'Toei' sign at the package... Back of the toy has a plastic-battery tab but when pulled off, the toy did not work, so not sure how the light/sound will be, i any... Non of the Go-phone feature (eg. open the top lid, etc) but probably will mod it a bit... Cost approximately $8.85 for both pieces...



KO Accellular (Slide Type)
The bottom part is almost identical to that of the Accellular, but the cover has been modified to slide up upon push of a button... Ugly and hilarious cover, hahahaha.... Has runnign multi-colour lights flashing in the face and some cheesy sounds/songs when button is pressed, or when the button disc is spun... The reason I bought these is to cut up the lower parts to implant on the other KO Accellular I bought... Cost approximately $8.45 for 3 pieces...


KO Plex-Type Accellular
Have to buy them in a set of 8... Colourful morphers!!!! And so powerful that Ultraman Zero uses them!!! Hahahaha.... Looks and move exactly like the Accellular, just without the "sound details"... Yeah, like Plex type... But pressing the switch on the side makes the blue LED lights up at the side...You know what I mean, hahaha... Super strong blue light, was blinded carelessly initially, hahahaha... Maybe I can replace the blue LED with the purple ones that I have...Then can use it to check if I got counterfeit notes or not... Hahahaha.... The plastic felt like the typical shampoo-bottle-plastic... Anyway, will take out the red ones and maybe one more blue one to replace the lower part with that of the above KO Accellular (Slide Type) ones for a more accurate key-pad buttons and spinning disc effect... Might sell off the rest next month in the flea market... See how first... Cost approximately $14.90 for all 8 pieces...




KO Abarangers Morphers Set
Actually I ordered the set with a Aba Laser, but the agent did not check properlyu and accepted this... Luckily I also intended to buy the morphers, so did not return this set... It comes with a modified Dino Brace combined with Dino Commander (the key-hole part, which rotates too...) and the faceplates, but no electronics inside... Nice to have the mould to remain intact, so it will be easier when I put in the switches of the sound circuits... Also included is a spring-less Dino Harp (the harmonica) that needs manually swinging of the key itself... Details are actually good... Cost approximately $8.90...


Next are the weapons...

KO Samurai Saber (Shurikenger) Set
Unfortunately it did not come with the baseball bat-holder... Might try to find some materials to make one someday... if I am not lazy... hahahaha... All details seem to be there, but has been modified to be 1 big piece of plastic... Intend to put in the whole sound recording-playback circuit into the handle, should be fun...Hahaha... Cost approximately $8.90...


Plex Geki Saber
It's a Plex Geki Saber! Super small!!! Hahaha... This is the sound-less version, and I intend to make some new longer blades for the Geki-Saber...At least it will look more proper... Cost approximately $9.75...


KO Sakanamaru
OMG!!! What else can't they KO??!! Plastic is not of the best material, but for a KO, it is good enought... Includes the belt hook too... Not sure what the sound is, have not tried yet, but likely to implant new sound circuits if the current ones turn out too lousy... Very nice...I think is almost identical to the real one... Cost approximately $6.50...



KO Mini Dragon Dagger
Finally found them!!!! The "legendary" mini KOs of the Dragon Dagger... Sweet... Quite small, but has the basic colours of the Dragon Dagger, so just need to touch up some gold colours to say, the buttons and pipe... Pressing the little button at the handle makes a blade swinging/clashing sound while lighting up the crystal ball... Hahahaha... Cost approximately $7.05 for all 3 daggers...

Update - Displays...

Current status of my Kamen Rider henshin belts/devices (and a Samurai Ranger belt)... More to come!!!!... The Spin Sword and (TMNT) nunchakus are there temporarily only, hahahaha....


Here is the place where I display my DX Faiz Gear and Case...

Some Pics of DX Moya Moya Z-Cune...

Some pictures of my impulse buy - DX Moya Moya Z-Cune... Why impulse? Because I see 170yuan, thought "Super cheap!" and buy it... sigh.... Anyway, the details on this piece are quite exquisite and refined, much much better than some of the so-called DX, eg. 'fruit slicer'... Hahahaha... just joking lah...

The gun mode is what I will display now, for the moment... Simply I have no space to have the (amazingly long, if you see in person, unbelievable... ) spread-out 'hair' of the figurine mode in the space allocated for displaying it... And The gun mode is 1:1 scale, which I don't have 1 yet (for a Super Sentai / Kamen Rider Weapon).... Nice... But it can be better if the stands are made of transparent plastic instead of opaque black... 



Figurine mode... A little pity that it does not have any 'auto-morph' feature as seen in the show... but, manual will do too...



The details are simply amazingly well-defined... Fingernails...Even the shoe... Nice...




Will I sell it off? Hmmm.... Maybe not... Kind of like the Magnum-style gun mode...

December Purchase (6) - KO Perfect Zecter (2nd Buy), BoC DX Lunar Cue, KO Crystal Saber, Skyfire Legend : White Tiger Blade

Haul from Taobao.com came a few days ago...

KO Perfect Zecter (2nd Buy)
My 2nd buy of the KO Perfect Zecter... Seen 1 YouTube clip that this KO may be slightly smaller than the real one... Anyway, will try to implant some circuits for better sounds/lights instead of using the (supposedly) cheesy ones inside it... Cost is approximately $28.95...




Bandai of China (BoC): DX Lunar Cue
It is the Bandai of China version!!!! This is taken from American Power Rangers version, but I had not tested it yet, so not sure if it has working sounds/lights... Cost is approximately $18.25...




KO Crystal Saber
It is a KO! And the colours are almost identical... I think... I did not have a chance to own any real ones, but earlier when I was dismantling the items to repair the internal circuit, I realised it came with all parts, including the top cap that you can press (which the real version will play some music sound), and the sheathe too... Nice... Bought 2 of them, but 1 of them seem to be made of a dirty plastic... Then as I research a little on the internet, some mentioned that the Japanese version has an "aged" look... not sure if it means it looks dirty like what 1 of mine is... I also had to trim off the internal posts inside the sheathe that retain the blade in it... And yes, the ball can be taken out too!!!! Nice again... Cost is approximately $8.40 each...





Skyfire Legend : White Tiger Blade
Hmmm... Some toy from China's own line of sentai-like... Bought it with intention use the blade to make into Hamel Cane... Cost is approximately $8.90...

December Purchase (5) - DX Dri-Blade, DX Dai Dai Maru

Bought the DX Dri-Blade at eBay, but collecting at CSC, and while there, also bought a DX Dai Dai Maru from the same seller who has a stall there...

The DX Dri-Blade cost only $20 each, so bought 2 (1 for my little nephew and the other for me...)



The DX Dai Dai Maru cost $35, which I think is quite cheap, so decide to get 1, before the price increase next time (although unlikely)...
