Legacy Blade Blaster ( Mighty Morphin Power Rangers MMPR Series)

Bought this for SGD80... and realised the blade-catch mechanism is a bit not working well... and made worse when my little nephew tried to manually pry out the blade... but nevermind, most likely I will be displaying it in blade mode...Had long wanted to get this toy when it first came out years ago but the price is too high... so when I saw this being sold locally again, I decided to get it... Afterall, this is the original MMPR's side weapon, and a transforming weapon too...

闪耀迪迦特别套装 Glitter Tiga Special Set Ultraman Tiga Spark Lens 2019 Reissue Bandai China

Cost SGD39.53 in total, which is super low compared to the Ultra Replica versions, and even the Dark Tiga sounds are included! Quality is of a barely okay DX toy type, as this is classified as toy and not collector item, so do not expect very good paint job etc for this toy.  Some Chinese buyers have feedbacked theirs have different issues eg. shell too loose to close, or locked too tight to open, sloppish paint work, etc. 1 video reviewer mentioned it could be due to the different sub-contractors (manufacturing factories) having different Q.C. adherence. Fortunately mine is still ok. Very pleased with this Spark Lens. Hope this line can continue with other Heisei or even Showa transformation items!!!!

Bootleg DX Saikyo Girade Kamen Rider Zi-O Zi O Zio

Gotten this from Taobao.com... It comes in a big box but what I wanted was just the Saikyo Girade... As the previous release of the bootleg Zikan Girade was quite impressive with the various near-original sounds, I am a bit disappointed with this one when I realised it has only 1 henshin sound in chinese, for both parts of the Saikyo Girade... Will probably make some sound circuits to implant in the future when free... THIS IS NOT COMPATIBLE WITH THE AUTHENTIC DX ZIKAN GIRADE , as the locking pieces are remolded. Some details are also remolded slightly or simplified. For example, the ridewatch placer is remolded to be able to fit in normal ridewatches other than the big head ridewatch... Overall, still quite a good piece of role-play toy as it helps to boost up the size of the small DX Zikan Girade...

Bootleg KO DX Geed Claw ( Ultraman Geed Series )

Costs about SGD13. Rumour has it that this company called Sunday has since closed down, or being shut down, not sure. My guess is that probably it copies too close to the original one and caught the attention of Bandai, perhaps... just speculation... It is almost identical, except for the following difference: (1) need to press the trigger 3 times or more to activate "Cockscrew Jamming" if is following immediately after activating "Claw Cutting". Else just need to press trigger 2 times. (2) Trigger needs to press down fully to activate attack sound whereas original one seem to be able to press halfway to activate attack sound, i.e. without spinning the claws. (as seen in some review videos) (3) Sound quality is not as good when compared to that in some review videos. (4) Spinning gimmick is not as smooth (as seen in some review videos) Overall, a very good bootleg.

Bootleg KO SH Figuarts Manga / Anime Ultraman - Special Version

Cost about SGD24... It is a bootleg version. It is quite badly done. Its right shoulder joint was badly molded and took hours to finally repair it. Chest ball joint can't seem to plug into the socket properly and pops out easily when posing. And many more. But it makes a good display. And that is probably why I bought it in the first place. But will not recommend this one if u intend to change its pose often.

Bootleg KO DX Jikan Girade ( Kamen Rider Zi-O Zio )

In the past, bootleggers used to KO these tokusatsu role-play toys with different sounds that are cheapo, cheezy and terrible. Nowadays, they seem to have upgrade themselves and included some of the original sounds and sometimes even the functions of the DX toys they KO. In this case, the toy does not pronounce the finisher names, which I think is more logical. Have since made these changes after shooting the video: (1) added a power on-off switch (2) replaced laser pointer with a red LED for safety (3) added a sound cut-off switch to mute the chinese pronunciation of the henshin state when I don't feel like listening to it (4) remove the tab that pushes the KO ridewatch to activate the ridewatch light so as to accommodate other authentic ridewatches.

Bootleg KO DX Orb Calibur / Orb Dark Calibur 奥特曼 Ultraman Orb Series

The latest KO of the DX Orb Calibur / Orb Dark Calibur to surface, despite Ultraman Orb being quite an old series now... This latest bootleg/KO caught my attention as it has the elemental attacks (less name-annoucements) as well as the transformation sound and light-sequence to Ultraman Orb Origin. A bit disappointed the Orb Supreme Calibur attack is not included. The blade is all hard plastic without revealing hollowness, unlike the authentic version. Both versions have the Dark wheel (with black paint), elemental word-characters and not symbols, and simplified tip at handles. Wheel spinning is very in-sensitive as somehow sometimes the switch is not pressed when wheel is spun, will probably open up to see. Light is a bit dim too, hopefully can be rectified. Overall, a very good enough Orb Calibur / Orb Dark Calibur for me to display already. Cost approximately SGD12 - each.
