Feb Purchase (2) - DX Fang Memory, Gashapon Arm Fang, DX Lost Driver, DX Skull Magnum

Haul from Taobao arrived last night! I think the happiest is my little nephew, whom not only just got 2 new toys (Fang Memory and the gashapon Arm Fang), he also got to play with my DX Lost Driver and Skull Magnum, hahaha....


DX Fang Memory
It's a transformer!!! So cute... Although this is the Bandai-asia version, the sounds are still loud... Cost approx. $56.25...



Gashapon Arm Fang
A beyond-expectation gashapon (capsule toy) role-play toy... It is quite big when inflated, with the blade roughly 135mm long... Only pity is that mine has a leak somewhere, so cannot inflate with air. In the end, have to slowly stuff in cotton wool, bit by bit, into the small opening of the Arm Fang with the blunt end of a satay stick...


Finally done...... Will look even better on kids' wrists... or ankles... Cost approx. $4.25...



DX lost Driver
Impulsive buy... Bought it because wanted to get the DX Skull Magnum badly, and figured that KR Skull needs a henshin belt right? So... But ok lah, at least the sounds are catchy and makes you feel like dancing, very much like KR Meteor's... Technically speaking, it is only 1 working side of the DX Double Driver, so what makes it worth will probably be the Eternal Memory... Note this Maximum Drive (slot) has no "W" on the small button you push to activate the end sound... Cost approx. $75.60...



DX Skull Magnum
Impulsive buy too... But after completeing my little nephew's DX Trigger Magnum for minor repaint and repair, I could not resist... and read from some forums that apparently this item is not going to be re-issued in the form of Bandai-asia version, so decided to "bite the bullet" and purchased one... It turn out to be... well, aesthetically nice... Cost approx. $121.30...



Side-track, just took a fun picture of my current belts on display... Will have to add in 3 more to these, hopefully can complete the Legend Double Typhoon Belt (based on the extra KR Ichigo LRS Belt)and the Dark Kabuto Zecter (using a KO to start modifications)...

Feb Purchase (1) - Thundercats Basic Claw Shield and Sword of Omens

Bought these today at the Branded Toys & Gifts Warehouse Sale at Bizstore Building... Cost $10 each...Is the last day and was hoping I could get some good stuff, but alas, nothing good there... Bought these for my little nephew, and also a Hello Kitty soft toy for my little niece... The strap for the Claw Shield is ridiculously soft, and the mechanism for strapping/locking is... well, lets just say the material is not suitable for this method, even I have difficulty trying to secure the straps together... and I have to sew velcro fasteners (via the holes on the strap)...
