Hot Toys Gets License To Kill With Assassin's Creed 2.

Slowpoke news but..

This was announced in the Hot Toys newsletter ;

We are proud to present the license of another masterpiece from the video game series, which is from the popular action-adventure video game Assassin's Creed II developed by Ubisoft..

The collectible figure of the key character will be launched soon! Stay tuned!

I am not ashamed to admit I am one of people who kept asking about this in Hot Toys page..:P
It doesn't specify if the license is only for Assassin's Creed II or if it encompass the first game as well, which features Altair as the main character, or wether they will also do one of Desmond.


Altair and Ezio.







The clothing material seems a bit rough for now. And the face isn't as cute as the game version.

I can't wait to see how Hot Toys will do Ezio costume as it is elaborate and in 1/6th size as well.
Also wondering if they will make this version of Ezio.


Aside from them, there's no other characters from the games interesting enough to make figures of .
Well, except maybe Leonardo Da Vinci.

Small Haul. (Literally)

Just some small stuff I got recently.


Namco X Capcom gashapon set by Bandai.

Quality is good for gashapon. Poses are cool.
The opaque character which serves as bases are a bit weird but not too much of a distraction to the main figures.
The Ryu and L. Raptor/Zabelzarock ones accompanying Chun Li and Lilith are good enough you possibly can color them and pass them off as mini bust. :P
*Noticed that the golden details on the back of Chun Li's costume was unpainted though..

Something weird with Lilith. She is also in the Capcom Heroine set but different.
I.e; the assembly pieces are different.

The most apparent is the face.
The NxC one looks forward and has a bit of open mouth while the other looks up and mouth closed. Eyes also has different color.
Kinda made me bootleg panic a bit, but I'll just hope they reworked her for the other set.

The other I got is-

Vancouver 2010 Winter Olympic Mascot Vinyl Toys by Happy Worker.

Thanks Rio McCarthy for letting me know.:)
The candy/cookie wrapper like they came in is cute, and they do look good enough to eat.
(Candy/cookie shaped like these would win, btw)
Quatchi is the cutest imo, and the biggest. Makes the other comparatively small.
Now all I need is a pedokuma to complete the set.

:P

Twestival, Breeze@BED, Kon Lau Ngiu Chap and A Duck Of Sort.

Did some stuff over the last few days.
Went to the Twestival over at Stone Bridge Galley on the 25th of March. Was a charity event. Joined the raffle and got this.

Never been to a spa before..
Oh and that is a limited edition Twitter cupcake there. :P

On Friday the 26th of March was Breeze Magazine 2nd Anniversary over in BED.
The theme was A Time To Shine.

I wore this.
JNa blogged it better here.

The morning after went breakfast with friends. Tried the Kon Lau place that was on TV.

Nice..I wanna more.
Also went to the flea market at SESB. Some stuff there. Mostly odd and ends. If you like vintage clothes you'd be stoked I guess.

Sunday was slow..was going to the Jazz thing over at Blue Note but I didn't. Meh.
And I missed K-On. Damnit.

Monday..I noticed that the sushi coupons that I got before was expiring. No one to ask come with so went solo.

I was on a diet.

Tuesday was Chucky a.k.a Ducky Surprise Birthday/Appreciation Party at Secret Recipe.

Chucky is the guy. And White Chocolate Macadamia Cake FTW.
MasLight blogged it better here since she was a conspirator anyway. :P
I had Chicken Cordon Bleu(which seems to be the official food for the night)which most of the group also had.

And a cappucino.
Was ranting about Sheperds Pie which they use to have..and look at the special menu and found out it was back.
Will have it. Soon. Very soon.

Robots and Tentacles.

The Robot:
Got my Complete* Futurama DVD Set on Friday.

*Quite a misnomer actually. It is complete, but only until June/July when the new season comes.
It was actually sent to my workplace but I wasn't in on account of a bad case of laziness induced migraine from Thursday. Had to go to the courier's office to pick it up.
Strangely it got taxed even though it was under the tax value.
But then it got some kind of charges and then it got taxed.
Huh?
My bro-in law said that DVDs are special circumstances, anything over six(6) DVD has some kind of charge, so I got charged for it, and since the value and the charges combined are over the qualifying value for tax, I got taxed.
Huh?

Anyway, afterwards got the continuing Dungeons & Dragons session where I officiated my dices.

Got a Critical, so Yay.
But my scientifically proven red dices was not approved by the DM, so Nay.
Meanwhile I still gotta work on a dice tower that can survive the DM's metal dices of doom.
DOOM I TELL YA DOOM!!

The Tentacles:
Finished watching my Korean drama. Yay! So my Saturday is free now. FREEDOM!!
Saturday was Julian's Surprise Early Birthday Party held at JustWarGame. Where there is party, there is-

Food Glorious Food. And food is good.

Here is The Tentacles-

I mean Julian The Birthday Tentacles.
I mean Julian The Birthday Boy. :P

The cake-

-and some polaroids.


And just because I like.

Food Glorious Food. Whoever supplied these wins life.

Afterwards went to look for a jacket. Found a jacket. Will buy jacket.

Sunday was slow. Finished with Assassin's Creed.

Thankfully it got a sequel or it would have one of the WTFest ending in video games evar.
Speaking of which, I need to remind myself to get the sequel back from Ripz.
Starting on Bayonetta now. That game is so LOL.

Shopping and Sushi.

Problem:
I had a somewhat formal event to go to..and no formal enough clothings to go in.
Solution:
Shopping!!*Mimics the scene from White Chicks*
(Ripz should know this one.):P


Pants and Belt.

Problem:
I also had an informal event to go to..and no very not formal clothing to go in.
Solution:
Shopping!!


Shiny..

Went the shopping with my brother and decided to use the coupons I got from lunch with Massy and Cubex +1 last time to good use.

Pic credit to Massy. (I wonder why they gave all 3 coupons to me..but thanks.)

We were only suppose to use the coupon.. but then we ordered..


Salmon Teriyaki


Oroshi Gyouza x2.


Salmon Sashimi


Oyster Tempura Set

And some Salmon Nigiri, Cream Puffs, Tuna Mayo..(though those were quickly devoured before any pics can be taken.).

And then we got more trap, er I mean coupons. Uh-oh.

Umbrellas, Gorillaz and a Chimp.

Some new stuff I got.:)

Umbrella Academy PVC figure set of 6.

Based on the Dark Horse comic written by My Chemical Romance lead singer Gerard Way and drawn by Gabriel Ba.
Comes in a nicely designed but fragile packaging and style follows the art closely.
I actually got 2 of White Violin because she also come with the hardcover of the comic.

Kidrobot Gorillaz CMYK set.

They got a new album out. :)

Ragnar's Maltese Chimp (Gin).

Electric Tiki statue based on Ragnar's art. I like.:)
Avaiable in 4 flavors, I mean color and limited to 1200. I got #2 of 250 of the Gin edition. :)
Thankfully it didn't get broken like my last statue..


The girl looks so 90's. I like. :)

Sunday@Toyz Inc.

A cafe called Toyz Inc just opened recently in Lintas, located at 1st Flr. opposite the driving range.
It has toys, beer and shisha.
Friends been raving about it, and I just been able to go that Sunday.

I am interested in toys and comic(in case you haven't noticed. lol.)so this is relevant to me. :P

The decor is nice.



I wonder if those are actual comics in them frame..

A place called Toyz Inc. gotta have toys right?


Momoko dolls. These cost a pretty penny. A lot of pretty penny.


Pulips dolls. Cost more than a penny.


MIGHTY MUGSS!! I WANT BLANK WHITE!!
And will be getting it, I hope. They do sell some of the toys. Ask the management about it.

They need more food on the menu though. And since they don't have a lot of food choices, they also need more things for the customers to do other than just shisha.
It works if it was just a pub, but I want more. :P

The place is still new, still have time to improve. I'll still be going just to drool all over the toys display. lol.

(Sorry for the lack of pics. Went late-ish and was busy with friends.)

Broken Big Baby. Courtesy Of Customs.

I got my Hellboy package yesterday. Got a big "Inspected By Customs" sticker on it.
Opened the box. Looks like Hellboy was just thrown back in there. Looked fine though.
Until I saw a bit of something embedded in the protective styrofoam.
Then another.
And then another..


See that missing bit on the gun?


Here it is.

GAAHHHH!!!

Seriously what is the use of Customs?

A Small, WET, 3 Day Weekend.

3 Day Weekend Yay. Wasn't really up to much, but had fun though.

Dungeon And Dragon session. And we did fight a dragon, in a dungeon.

Not that dragon, but a dragon. A small one, but a dragon anyway. A chuckling dragon.

Did want to check out a miniature painting session, but I didn't.

It's at JustWarGame at Karamunsing Capital (the one opposite Karamunsing Complex, above Old Town Cafe) No. B1-3, 1st Flr, Blk B.
Operated by SeerFounder, who has an impressive collection.

Eliza Dushku is WET. Really.

See?
She lends her voice to the main character.
It's a fun-ish game. Very kinetic, as in sword to the neck, bullet to the gut, wall running kinda kinetic.
The game has some cool moments, such as when you had a gunfight car chase on the highway while jumping car to car. But control is a bit wonky.

There was also a Ultimate Frisbee thing, but day was hot and I had Korean drama marathon. Really.

Horn And Claws.

Something different from me this time. Instead of Japanese girls, I have..American men.
Okay maybe not so "American men" since Wolverine is Canadian, and Hellboy is..Hellboy.
Anyway..

Hellboy from Kotobukiya/ARTFx.

It's vinyl! And it's huge!


Based somewhat on the Katsuya Terada cover art for the Japanese version comic.


There's some weird shading work but the hell with it. Look at that detail!


The base is unique..I can't think of any other word to describe it. Other than Ouch.

Wolverine from Hot Toys.

Very much poseable, but the leather jacket actually limits it a bit, being bulky.


They did a very good job on the detailing.


Doesn't look like the protoype pic much..the prototype looks a bit cuter.
But it does look a lot like Hugh Jackman.
