2018 September Haul (1) - DX Ziku Driver with Ridewatch Holder Set

Went over to Fujiya to buy the DX Ziku Driver for my little nephew today... Did not drive but took the MRT instead... long journey... initially wanted to buy the standard DX set ($90) with a DX Geiz Ridweatch ($25), but after the patient shop-owner's explanation, I bought the special set ($135) instead, since it is like the Ridewatch Holder costs only $20 if buy the special set. But the down side is that I will have to get another DX Ridewatch Holder set if I want to get the DX Ghost Ridewatch... nevermind, perhaps can get the gashapon or shokugan version...



Very nice driver!!!!

Power Rangers Super Megaforce Deluxe Legendary Morpher - Sound Volume Modification

As mood is no good and sad, I decided to modified my Power Rangers Super Megaforce Deluxe Legendary Morpher to let the sound in phone mode (i.e. without a Ranger Key inserted in) to be the same loudness as when a Ranger Key inserted in... Also demonstrated some of my modified-restored Red Rangers Keys in the video...

Modify at your own risk!!!!!

After the covers are removed, you will see the pair of wires from the pirate head side going into the main body side, and this pair of wires has a white connector joint to the circuit. Pull out the connector to reveal the 2 pins, which are connected to the push switch to indicate when a key has been inserted. When key is inserted, the switch at the pirate head side is pressed and this is equivalent to the 2 pins shorting (touching) each other, and this will signal to the circuit to allow full sound volume for everything...


There are many ways to do the next step. I choose to just bend the 2 pins to touch each other securely, so that in case next time I want to revert back it is still possible... ok, actually I am lazy.... Some people may use a joint connector to connect the 2 pins, and some may even try to solder them together... I also tucked in the connector of the pair of wires under the circuit board and used a ball of blu-tack to secure in place... yes, lazy, but also in case next time still wants to restore back the soft volume.. hahahha... sigh...

Homemade: LED Lighting Platform for Kyutama ( Kyurangers )

Made a lighting platform that will house and shine light a Kyutama, for my friend's birthday... Initially wanted to modify the Kyutama to have the light shine internally, but I did not have a battery holder of that suitable size. Also, the internal space is quite limited too. This should work just as fine... hahahaha... The front image does not look nice when light shines behind as the 2 layers looks like 2 different colour tones, but the glow at the globe looks ok...


The back image (heart) looks quite ok and clear with the light though...


I painted the LED sides to black and taped the LED body with a black insulation tape to minimise the overly bright glow to the eyes when looking from the front / side...


A pair of magnets (dia-6mm x 3mm thick) are hot-glued to the cork mat (platform) and Kyutama's bottom. This not only provides a strong but temporary joint, it also allows the Kyutama to be swivel to allow the both sides of the Kyutama to be illuminated by the light...


Light circuit... a small latching push-switch, white LED, 3V LR44 holder are used in this circuit...Hope she likes it! =)
