November Purchase (4) - DX Gan Gun Saber, Gashapon Ore Tamashii Eyecon, Mighty Morphin Red Alien Ranger Key

Collected my Taobao haul this evening... and a bit mad that the DX Condor Denwor is loose-shipped... Probably the item is not a 2nd-hand item, since this toy is so new, and probably at worse it is a factory-reject or something (a very low price of only 118 yuan), but I cannot stand it... and especially this is going to be a Christmas gift... sigh... anyway, may decide to get a boxed one and keep this for myself, if I manage to find a reasonable-priced one... First item, the DX Gan Gun Saber! Not as small as I imagine... nice...


De-tombed... and nope, it does not come with the AAA batteries ,they are put in by me.... Cost SGD71.70 including shipping...


And also bought a Gashapon Ore Tamashii Eyecon for display... cost approximately SGD9.10... I doubt I will be getting a DX Ghost Driver for myself... partially because I have no more display space, and partially I am getting tired of the recent designs (functional and aesthetics) of Kamen Rider drivers / belts...


Also gotten a loose Mighty Morphin Red Alien Ranger Key, to complete my Red Ranger Keys collection... Cost approximately SGD3...


... And the completed collection... Hahahaha... All (core) Red Rangers of Power Ranger series since Mighty Morphin to Super Megaforce... Yeap, heavily modded the head of SMF Silver and lightly modded the SMF Green's and Blue's using SPD's heads...

November Purchase (3) - Megaforce Red Ranger Training Set, Ranger Keys Packs, Gashapon Newton and Robin Hood Eyecons

And before the haul, here's an update to my modded Time Force Red Ranger Key, which I finally decided to repaint the head... Looks ugly when close-up in photo, but is actually quite OK when looking at the physical item... And also painted the chest details instead of using a sticker...


Bought 2 sets of this old item - the Megaforce Red Ranger Training Set, at the Robinsons Expo Sale... it is the regular version with the tiny teeny gun, but what I wanted is only the Gosei Buckle, to hold my Gosei cards... I mean Megaforce cards... Grabbed the last 2 sets of these... Costs SGD5 each... Nice buy... Have since given 1 set to my little nephew, and the other set's mask and gun to my little niece...


Also bought these Ranger Keys packs at the Robinsons Expo Sale, at SGD5 each... Stupidly thought that I can repaint the other coloured Ranger Keys that I had into red, but failed... so decided to bought these... and forgotten to get the Overdrive Key pack... Will get it another time... soon... and also have bought another Alien Red Ranger Key from Taobao.com... When these arrived, my (core) Red Ranger Keys will be completed... hahahaha...


And then in the evening collected these 2 Gashapon Newton and Robin Hood Eyecons bought from Taobao.com, at approximately SGD16.80... which is about SGD8.40 per Eyecon... nearly about$4 more than what it costs in Japan (400yen)... What to do, have to live with it... "Kai Gan!!!!"

Some Pics of Legacy Saber Saber and Such...

Some pictures of my newly acquired Legacy Saba Saber... Actually took the pictures some days ago, but until now then remember to post... All 3 (main) Legacy-line role-play collectibles are finally collected... Happy...



Legacy Saba Saber is nicely scaled when placed together with Legacy Dragon Dagger, especially when the blade is extended...



And slightly longer when compared with my modded DX Gokai Saber... Seriously, the more I look at the modded blade of the DX Gokai Saber, the more I want to remake the blade again... hopefully this time it can be less wide, less curve and increase in thickness...


With my modded DX Gaburicalibur... nice... And I am waiting eagerly for the Legacy Blade Blaster to be available...

November Purchase (2) - Legacy Saba The Talking Tiger Saber

Yeah!!!! My Legacy Saba Saber finally arrive!!!!!! ... Bought this off eBay at USD100 (SGD144.20), and because of the air-flight safety regulations, the seller has to remove the batteries first... and man, taking out the battery cover is really a tough job... only in the end then I realized I have to stick the pin/screwdriver/stick etc into the pin hole at an angle... But anyway, nice nice....



However, as I un-boxed it and removed it to fiddle around, I started to feel like it does not seemed to be as big as many reviewers claimed... Maybe is just my personal feel, but I really felt that the blade could have been a bit longer...


Details are very very very good for this Legacy toy... Maybe should call it an collectible item instead of toy... hahahaha....



And nice to see the screw holes are being covered up and are only slightly visible if looked at close range...


Blade details... lots of molded cracked-stone details to bring out the ruggedness...


Nice weathered medallion... but a bit too much gray at 1 of the side...


Extendable blade... Solid...




Now waiting for Legacy Blade Blaster to be available... Hahahaha... am sucked into this Legacy weapon stuff now...


Edit: Put in the instruction picture for removing battery cover. Do take note you have to push in quite hard at an angle as shown in the picture, else it is almost impossible to remove the cover... Hope this helps!

November Purchase (1) - DX Ghost Driver, Ranger Key Packs (Wild Force, Jungle Fury), (old) Ultraman Figure

Bought the DX Ghost Driver for my little nephew as his December holiday present... or maybe as Christmas present??... Anyway, gotten it at CSC from a corner booth stall for SGD85, which is a good price when compared to the high prices at eBay... It comes with a Ganbarizing card, which is a nice little present... A pity the booth owner's DX GanGun Saber is sold out...




Also bought 2 packs of Ranger Keys at OG... The packs are selling at $10 for 2 packs, which is the same price at that in the previous Branded Toys Warehouse Sale.... not bad... but am thinking of modding (including painting to red) the other coloured ranger keys to Red Ranger Keys, including modding the heads to a closer resemblance if can... Hence did not buy the other varieties that was selling at OG... Anyway...



Yeah! Finally gotten the old Ultraman figurine, and at a good price of $9.95... Sweet... "Swaaa~ch!" * and flies off *...
