You've Got Mail!: Toy Expo VIP Night Invite

Two days ago, someone in Facebook was asking toy bloggers to send in their full name, email, and blog site for a chance to get invited on the VIP Night of Toy Kingdom's Toy Expo. Just for the sake of trying, I did send in my details and blog site without really expecting on whether or not I get an invite. However, when I checked my email after I got home from work today I saw this! It's an email inviting me to the VIP Night of Toy Kingdom Toy Expo on August 22 at SMX Convention Center! I never even thought I'd receive an invite or even a reply from them! 

 However there's a dilemma. The 22nd of August falls on a Wednesday, which means I do have work on that day and I only get to go out at 5pm. (darn it! why not put the event during the 2 day holiday -_- ) So I'm not sure if I can attend the said event or not.  Anyway, to be invited is an honor itself, and whatever happens, if I do attend or not, I'm glad to have been given the chance. As a French phrase goes, C'est la Vie!

REVIEW: Marvel's Jubilee

It's been a long while since my last review, and I've been itching to do more. My initial plan was to do a complete take on the Wave 18 and 21 figures however getting employed got in the way of things and messed up my free time (Though I'm not complaining, it's hard to live a bum's life broke. Having a job guarantees you more money for more plastics. Lol!) So without further a do, here's 1/3 of Marvel Universe's Wave 21 lineup, Jubilation Lee.

TOY HAUL: 1:18 Harley Davidson Chopper

I've seen a lot of my fellow collectors pick this one up for their MU figs especially for Ghost Rider which everyone's having a hard time finding a ride that fits him. I didn't find the urge to get me one, since I already have a bike for my Ghost Rider that came from an old Toybiz figure of mine. However, my stand to get one changed when I saw these:

TOY HAUL: Iron Man & Spider-Woman Comic Pack

I started collecting Marvel Universe figures first before I even started to read comics. I vowed to stick to one figure per character so as to avoid overspending. I remember the time I got hold of an MU Spider-woman (Jessica Drew) figure from Toy Kingdom. I have no idea who she was back then, and what her story was. All I know is that I have yet to own a Spider-woman figure and so I did purchase her right then and there.

TOY HAUL: Malaguti Phantom F12

   Finally got employed for my first job last week and started working Wednesday. Being employed in a learning institution just literally behind Greenhills Shopping Center gives me the privilege to check out every hobby and retail shops every after working hours, and that I did. Everytime I go home, I make sure to pass by Greenhills first to check for some good finds.

TOY HAUL: Marvel Universe Multiple-Man

I was finally able to complete my X-men related figure checklist yesterday. Got these items from a fellow collector who's selling them as a set. I was really eyeing this set from the time he posted it back when it was sold for Php 3,000. However I wasn't willing to pay more than SRP for a loose figure. After weeks, he posted the same item but at a lower price. I immediately put a dibs on 2 figures, and fortunately two other collector dibs on the remaining 3 as well. I was the one who meetup with the seller since I'm just a 15 minute jeep ride away from the meeting place. Got there on time, and was able to bring them all home with me until their respective owners get theirs from me. Seeing them together on hand feels great since I'm not really an army builder type of collector and seldom do I see these many of the same figures right in front of me. If I had a choice, I wanted to keep them all, but for my pocket's sake I'd stick with my army-of-two vow. Cheers!

REVIEW: Ultraposeable Spider-Man

This review might be a bit late for toy collectors, but it is just in time before the premiere of the new The Amazing Spider-man movie starring Andrew Garfield as Peter Parker. With just a day away, I decided to do a take on the Ultraposeable Spider-man figure.
