July Purchase (1) - KO Delta Blaster (S.P.D)
Was cursing my bad luck of breaking my spectacles this afternoon, and had to got and make a new one, while wearing the repaired broken one that is barely in 1 piece... But after ordering a new one, I decided to go and jalan jalan... and to my surprise, I saw this KO Delta Blaster selling in a photocopying kiosk!!! So happy! Immediately bought it, at $10... Of course only the guns remain, and the rest of the items were down the dustbin chute just 4 minutes after de-tombing it... hahahahaha....
The packing shows S.P.D., so I am declaring this is the KO Delta Blaster, not the Hybrid Magnum.. wait... aren't they almost similar... nevermind... Very seldom see the China KOs cardboards without chinese characters...
I shall ignore the steroid-infused figurines... The size seems a little tiny tiny smaller than the DX version when I watch the Youtube reviews, so I suspect this could be either a slightly slightly downsized DX, or an oversized PLEX version... which I dn't have both to compare... The plastic for this KO Delta Blaster is actually quite good, slightly on the thicker side. The guns can be combined quite sturdily, though it takes a bit of figuring out how to separate them (have to pull down the front little gun's handle to dislodge and slide it out)... Surprisingly, the big gun has (typical weird sounds, eg. blade clashing, dino roars, etc) sounds and a red led lights up at the tip of the batrrel... Nice!!!!! But its a bit too bright an blinded me a few times... hahaha...
"YOU CAN CHOOSE TO BUY OTHER PRODUCTS" !!!!!! .... Hahahahaha....

June Purchase (4) - DX DJ Gun
Collected these items from Taobao.com (via local agent 65daigou) a few hours ago...
DX DJ Gun!!! Nice buy, cost $91.70 approx. though... very expensive, but it looks very nice when combined with the DX Musou Saber...
Also bought a MacDonald's Melody Kitty for my little niece... sigh, can't get one in own country... cost approx. $8.65...

June Purchase (3) - DX Kiwami Lock Seed
Only received this item less than an hour ago... The DX Kiyumi...opps, wrong .. DX Kawaii... arrgh... wrong again... DX Kiwami (yes!!!) Lock Seed is finally here... And again just to clarify, this will be my little nephew's, not mine, hahahaha... Cost $51.25 approximately, from eBay...
The back of the package showing a LOT of information... a bit too over-powering... hahahaha....

Restoration - KO Dino Brace (Abaranger)
After a long long break, I finally completed the KO Dino Brace that was purchased in January... The KO Dino Brace have no spring-loaded mechanisms - all require manual actions. Luckily the mold still retains the cavities and parts that are needed to make the jaw snapping action, so managed to restore the action back with a couple of springs...
2 sound circuits are recorded with the dino-roar and henshin sound before implanted into the body... Tough tough tough work... and realised my reliable soldering iron's tip has finally reached its end days... sigh... time for a replacement...
The dino-roar sound is activated by a soft switch as seen in the picture below. I couldn't fixed it on the lower half of the body where the main sound circuits are, so have to use a longer pair of wires to pull the switch and place it there...
The henshin sounds are activated by switch circled in yellow. There is another switch connected in parallel to the first one (at right of picture; connected at the other ends of the the 2 blue wires) that will also activate the henshin sound when the key-barrel is rotated. Sorry, forgotten to circle the 2nd switch...
Also added a power on-off switch for power-saving...
Here's a quick(???) look at the KO Dino Brace when bought... Looks good actually...except the wrong colours...
...and the repainted version... the yellow velcro strap is from a DX (Za)Bee Zector which had its circuit implanted into a fake KO Gatack Zector long time ago...
I did not restore the spring-out action for the Dino-Harp as I am too lazy, frankly... hahahaha... Most of the paint apps are retained too (instead of repainting to the original Dino Harp colour), as this looks more in-line with the Dino Brace colour scheme...
The main Dino Brace is a crazy weird one... It fuses together with the Dino Commander (key-part)!!! So it is a new morpher??!! The "Dino Brace-Commander"????!!!! Hahahahaha.... I totally love it, man, this is why KOs are great, hahahaha.... I tried putting a red LED with a green one to match the DX's colour for eyes' light but the green LED will be very dim, hence have to use both green LEDs... I think AbareBlue and AbareYellow won't mind...will they???
Here are pictures of the "Dino Brace-Commander" with the different dino-plates on it, as well as the lit up eyes (did not do any mods to the AbareBlack and AbareKiller's faceplates, too lazy)... All dino-plates have the pegs at same position, no difference which dino-plate is put on...
And here's the outcome:

Restoration (Body and Sounds) - KO PLEX Accellular (Boukenger)
Restored the KO PLEX Accellular some time ago but had forgotten to pictured down until last night...
This is the smaller sized Accellular, which I believe is KO-ed from the PLEX mold.
I used 2 types of KOs for the body of this Accellular to make it more like a DX... Did some repainting and also sprayed a layer of clear lacquer to protect the paint... The screen is printed from some DX picture found over the internet...
Pressing the trigger at the side will make a purplish-blue LED light up. Despite using only 3V for the source, the LED still lights up too brightly, hence I have to use masking tape to cover the glaring light...
As for the henshin sound, I added a power on-off switch to ensure the battery life will not be drained off by accidental rotation of the wheel...
And here is the final outcome... Not too good, but will do nicely for my little nephew...
