Dec Purchase (6) - Gashapon Go-Buster Ranger Key, Ride & Go #03: Gokai Galleon

Gotten this at CSC today... Mainly is because they are cheap, hahaha...

Gashapon Go-Buster Ranger Key
This is a loose Gashapon key that costs $4... buy also because the Legend Mobilate has only 1 key only... and can say out "Go-Busters!" (I think_...)


Ride & Go #03: Gokai Galleon
Cute little toy, but bought it also because the Gokai-Red key I purchase from Taobao does not seem to be able to reach here in time... yes, it is still in Shanghai... sigh... anyway, this is cheap, only $5...

DX Rouze Absorber Mod - Evolution King Plate

The USD25 DX Rouse Absorber... As I should not be getting the DX King Rouzer, I thought I might just make use of the KR Garren Fusion Jack Plate and mod it into KR Blade Evolution King Plate!

Printed out some pictures of the KR Blade Evolution King Plate to actual plate size for reference. Then use thin poly sheet to form the major parts of the face plate motif... Took a long time to figure out the layers as the picture is quite blurred...


Some of the parts/layers have the edges chamfered to get a better profile, though later then realised that the effects are not very good after painting... Parts are then glued to 1 base layer.... As for the "insect legs", I rolled up some small pieces of tissue paper and drip some glue over them to mold them into shape (think paper mache)... Turns out well... except I forgotten about the last pair of "legs"!!!! ... Hmmm.... maybe will add them on tomorrow, for today, just make do with it! Hahaha....


I then silver painted the green parts on the KR Garren Fusion Jack Plate, after which I painted the areas blue with a permanent marker.... Ready to paste the plate over... except the tab att he end needs some work...


Extended the tab with 2 small pieces of polysheet layered to form a good thickness, to paint it black once testing is complete.... And it works perfectly...


After painting and a comparison of the (almost) completed KR Blade Evolution King Plate.... Looks 85% close!!! Hahaha...


Looks good (from far)! Also printed out the Evolution King card on 2 glossy photo paper and stick them together with double-sided tape...Nice... the printed card is thin enough to be stored into the Rouse Absorber's card holder yet rigid enough to swipe (and press the activation switch)...


EDIT:
Added the last pair of "legs" for the "insect"...


Looks better now... No no no, don't zoom in to look, it looks bad with the poor painting...

Dec Purchase (5) - Shinkenger: DX Fire Smasher

Bought this at TRU today, with a 7% discount and a $10 voucher, so cost is approx. $27.20.... When I open up the item a while ago, I was surprised to find the actual toy still has the Japanese warning sticker pasted on it! With the Chinese/English instructions, this seemed to be a Bandai-Asia release... Hmmm, should be bah... Anyway, a very big toy, bought it as I felt it is quite a large sales price difference (original seems to be about $99...) and 2 days ago my little nephew was telling e how "powerful" this Shinken-red's weapon can destroy the "bad people"... hahahaha...

Dec Purchase (4) - DX Basshaa Magnum, DX Garulu Saber, DX Accel Driver, DX Engine Blade, DX Trial Memory

Haul from Taobao arrives! Mostly happy mood, though got 1 item really confuses and frustrates me...

DX Basshaa Magnum
For my little nephew... No electronics, but still expensive... duh... cost $28.40 approx... not sure of the exact cost as this is packed with the DX Garulu Saber when shipping...


DX Garulu Saber
For my little nephew too... Did not realised this saber is this big... cost $40.25 approx...


DX Accel Driver
For me!!! Hahaha... Actually I am too eager and bought these DX KR Accel Henshin gears too early, as recently saw 1 store selling way, way cheaper... Good thing is that this is the Bandai-Asia release, and so the memory speaks the Japanese-English pronunciation... Cost $82.80 approx...


DX Engine Blade
This little fella drives me crazy... First, the box shows signs that the item has been tampered with before, as there is a big clear tape that covers over the original tape on 1 of the sides... "Nevermind...", I told myself... Then when I opened it, I realised that the tray was placed opposite (where the item side facing the back of the box)... Wow, I don't think the packing staff will make such errors in packing, right?... "Nevermind...", I told myself, again... btw, the body of the DX Engine Blade is stamped with some Japanese words... *EDIT: I just watched some Youtube clips on this Engine Blade review and realised that the Korean version has the same stampings and white "serial number" on the handle is the as mine! #*%$!!$#*&.... and the Japanese versions apparently have no white "serial number"s... Sigh...


Now this time, when I saw the Engine Memory, I went crazy. The back of the battery cover has Korean words (I can still differentiate between Japanese and Korean letters)!!!! WTF!!!! Quickly tested the memory, and surprisingly, the memory speaks the Japanese-English pronunciation!!!!!!!!!! ... Arrrgggghhhh..... So now I got a Japan/HK Korean version of the Engine Blade, with a Korean DX Engine Memory, that pronounces the phrases in Japanese-English!!!!! Hmmm... Amazing... so being a hygiene freak, I quickly clean the blade and memory thoroughly with anti-bacteria wipes, and slowly finds this Engine Blade quite fun!! Hahaha... Cost $62.15 approx...


DX Trial Memory
Also gotten this DX Trial Memory to complete the gear set... I kindda like the gadgets that gives Kamen Riders a speed-up state i.e. KR Faiz - Axel Watch, KR Kabuto - Hyper Zector and this KR Accel - Trial Memory... Bought them all... Hahaha... Cost $46.25 approx...

Dec Purchase (3) - DX Rouse Absorber (and some Gashapon Kabuto toys)

Packages from eBay arrived today!... However, was disappointed to find out the Gashapon Kabuto toys have no sound... my fault, I did not ask the seller prior to buying... luckily, the DX Rouse Absorber gave me some relief...

Gotten this Korean version at approx. $31.70... Did not mind the Korean versions of the Kamen Rider stuff until the KR W line,where they "gey kiang" and try to use their own pronunciations/sounds... Oh, maybe the Denebick Buster too, but the effect is not too strong, since the words are too muffled and long to understand...


I might try to print out the Evolution King card and use the included KR Garren plate to mod into the Evolution King plate... Many work... (Just to vent my frustrations: Messed up the V3 belt mod!!!!!! Now got to see if can use motor to make the fans rotate... sigh...)

Update - Candy Toy KR Ixa Belt: Stickered

Some pictures of how the Candy Toy KR Ixa Belt looks like after applying the (dried-up) stickers... The belt strap's connector at the end of the belt strap is not included in the box...

Dec Purchase (2) - Legend Rider Series Belts ( KR Ichigo, KR Kuuga, KR Faiz ) & DX Kabuto Zecter

Haul from Taiwan arrived! Impulsive but cheap buys!!! The DX Kabuto Zecter also arrived!!!!

LRS Kamen Rider Ichigo Belt
Gotten this for 1 and 1 reason only - to kitbash it into a Kamen Rider V3 Belt!!!!! Since it cost so cheap at approx. $32, decided to buy it for the kitbash, when I was deceived by the Taobao seller that he has an LRS KR V34 belt, when apparently he did not have... anyway, hope to be successful, as the internal space to put in the V3 belt parts seemed to be blocked by a lot of obstructions... Good luck to me!!!!


LRS Kamen Rider Kuuga Belt
Again, couldn't resist buying a NT499 KR belt!!! Thought my little nephew might also like this if I manage to convince him that the DX version is out of production... and he did LOVE this, hahaha... This is actually a very nice belt with good details molded on the belt buckle, very nice... Cost approx. $32.65, slightly more as it came from a different seller and slightly bigger volumetric weight when shipped...


LRS Kamen Rider Faiz Belt
"Standing by..." ... Again an impulse buy... yes, it is also NT499... So I told my little nephew if I can't mod this Faiz phone to have a gun-mode, then he shall have to make do with it... Think he has no choice but to accept... Anyway, also told him he can use the new Trigger Magnum his Ah-Peh bought him recently as KR Faiz's gun... Cost is approx $32...


DX Kabuto Zecter
This little fella just arrive a few moments ago!!!! Finally managed to received the DX Kabuto Zacter in 1 that is in MISB condition, after sending back the 2nd-hand one that the seller sent me earlier... Anyway, this is expensive, cost $376.80... Must make sure my little nephew takes extremely good care of it.. hahaha...


Hope my other hauls arrive soon!!!!
