mini King Ken series

I am certain everybody knows that I am a big fan of the line of King Kens released years ago by James Jarvis. I reckon it will become on of those hall of famer toys and definite classics.

A sequel to the classics, came these.

I have no idea why they re-release this sculpt. Personally, I think these are a let down. Although they do come relatively cheap, apparently.

then came along King Kun

I struck a deal for a James Jarvis x Bounty Hunter black King Kun and he finally came by late this evening. I expected a lot from a piece, a result of this awesome collaboration.

The design speaks for itself. It is a much loved design and final sculpt, I have no problem with that. Quality-wise, there are evidently a few. The finish did not come out as clean as it should be: paintjob, lines, surfaces; they aren't top finish. I also thought that it should at least be a little more weighty, taking reference from the King Ken, it lacks the sense of good weight which sub-consciously implies whether it is a quality piece of collectible. In many ways, I would have wanted it to stand as tall as a King Ken.

Even more unfortunate, there is an evident cut at the back of its right arm, obviously by something sharp. Probably have to bring this matter to AMOS.

- fantastic sculpt, disappointing finish.

Last day out

So earlier today I brought my Orange King Ken out for a stroll in the garden. Never realized that he was in such 'good condition'. Love his orangey coat. He is probably the most vibrant one among all colourways, second to the white in terms of preference.

I will be saying goodbye to him. He will be missed.

some of my past collection

Be@rbricks, Kubricks, Soul of Chogokins, Macross and misc.

Most have been sold off, just unfortunately that I have lost interest in them. Only keeping the ones I really felt that I could not let go. And Be@rbricks have over-saturated the scene, and I foresee the same would happen to the vinyl scene but let's not get into that.

Moreover, I have not gotten my own place yet to properly set them all up. Believe it or not, I acquired all these from over three continents where I have previously lived. All the movings are killing me. And truth be told, these are all just temporary places for them. I have better ideas on how to display them in the future, patience is virtue, wherever I will be.
