July Purchase (1) - DX Mugen Eyecon

Received the DX Mugen Eyecon that I purchased from eBay... Costs approx. SGD 57.65... for my little nephew's November holiday present...


Just a quick ranting to get it off my chest... Kamen Rider (and Super Sentai) items are getting more and more "kiddish" in designs now... or at least some elements of "kiddish"... A good example is the use of stickers that screamed out "TOYS" loudly... Sigh... I know Toei working with Bandai to churn out merchandises to sell (to children??) but still.... can't the design be more mature and less outright "kiddish"? Sigh... Not to mention the "format" of the toys nowadays (for Kamen Rider) is Belt/Driver, interface items (e.g. eyecons, astro-switches, toy cars (??!!!!), lock(seed)s, etc... ) that is numbered... intermediate belt... weapons with designs (sunglasses-sword-gun, steering-wheel-sword, toy-trailer-gun, etc...) ... will we have a toilet bowl gun someday??? Hmmm...
