Captain America Wakandan Shield Bootleg Knockoff KO Undersized Avengers Infinity War

 "... And give this man a shield!... " Costs estimated SGD 21.80 per piece. This is supposed to be for ages 14+ years old... This plastic toy seems to be copied from some 1:1 scaled metal prop replica of the Wakanda shield that was out in the markets some years ago, and as usual, some people in China sees the opportunity to make some $. This is also slightly undersized, 44cm long when fully extended, which I guess is to prevent legal issues in China... Still, this size is quite good enough for children and even for us Asians with smaller arms. Wanted to make it spread wider for a more triangular shape seen in the "I am Steve Rogers" scene, but after opening up, realised that it is not quite possible without quite major works and patchings. Will probably change the sound and lights to just pale blue lights to have the vibranium energy feel... Looks good...

Phoenix Edge 凤凰利刃 ( Legend Hero Samgugjeon 레전드히어로 삼국전 梦想三国 英雄传奇 )

 The weapon of Cao Cao in the show. Costs estimated SGD 20.20. This is the Chinese sounds version, but not sure if there is a Indonesia language or Korean language version. This is not the DX-type, unlike the other weapon DX Dragon Blade 灵龙刀 that was featured in the past, the "hero piece" is a 1 sided switch. However,, (almost) all sounds are in and quite complete. Plastic is just slightly thinner and a bit more rubbery-feel, but acceptable.. I have to open up and modify the LEDs as the running (light) sequence is reverse. The switches near the handle is also a bit cranky, sometimes slight touch will cause it to be rebooted or continuously mode-switching... But as a toy, it quite surpass many newer tokusatsu toys Bandai recently churned out. .. in my opinion, at least... It is smaller than the actual 1:1 scale but as a toy it is already quite big (gun mode is about same size as the DX Dragon Blade). In fact, it is not a long/big sword even in the show.

DX Dogouken Gekido 土豪剣激土 ドゴウケンゲキド Kamen Rider Saber Series Kamen Rider Buster

 Impulse purchase at estimated SGD 45.55 .. It is quite a big DX toy, though some have pointed out that the DX Metal Shaft fully extended... 一刀兩斷... overall quite a fun toy..

Minor Repaint FAILURE Legend Henshin Belt FAIZ DRIVER … But Still Better Than None Kamen Rider Faiz 555

 Messed up the repaint with impatience to let the black paint completely dry, and dark environment while spraying the silver... Anyway, too lazy and no mood to redo... maybe next time, when free-er... Still, it looks way better than the original...
