Video: Toy Stores Inside V-Mall and Shoppesville, Philippines

If you a are toy enthusiast who happens to visit the Philippines soon, then going to San Juan City, Metro Manila should be on your itinerary.

Well saving the best for last, this shopping mall is a treat for toy hunters because there's a number of toy store chains inside the shopping center which are located at the V-Mall (Viramall) and the Shoppesville Plus.

Star Wars The Black Series: Ben [Obi-Wan] Kenobi

One of the most important characters in the Star Wars saga has finally made it's way in the Black Series collection-Obi Wan or old Ben Kenobi. Before we go further, there are already 3 variants of this figure which are the SDCC Exclusive, the 40th Anniversary and the black and red boxed figure #32.

Star Wars The Black Series: AT-AT Pilot

Even though this review should have been published months ago, the AT-AT pilot/driver is still a very nice figure to have in your 6" Black Series collection. He is one of the most iconic characters in the Empire Strikes Back movie that's why you can find him here again in my blog where I got the chance to review the AT-AT Driver ArtFX Kotobukiya statue.

Celebrate Your Kid's Birthday At Max's Restaurant

Recently we were invited to Chickie Boy's birthday party at Max's Restaurant, Scout Tuason branch. Chickie Boy is Max's very own mascot and I have no idea yet how old is he now. Well Max's Restaurant has been in the business since 1945 so we can assume that Chickie Boy just turned 72 years old. Hmmm... I maybe wrong because he's just a boy.

Elvis Presley Figure From '68 Comeback Special by Enterbay & Kotobukiya

One of my best childhood memories is a family video of me doing an Elvis Presley impersonation wearing a black leather jacket with a guitar while lip-syncing a song from his concert. I'm still a huge Elvis fan and a week won't pass without listening to his music.

Now that I am starting to shift on sixth scale toy figures, of course looking for an Elvis Presley figure is on my list. I don't own too much memorabilia of the King of Rock and Roll but having the closest representation of him is enough for me to look at everyday while listening to his timeless songs.

Whenever I go to toy conventions, I always admire the awesome displays of 1/6 scale figures at the collector's toy gallery. Every time I see my favorite Hot Toys characters, I usually ask myself "Would I have one of those someday?"

Hot Toys and Sideshow are known for making ultimate action figures in 1/6 scale which are sculpted close-to-actual character with great articulation, accessories including changeable head and hand poses. If you are into toy photography, having these bad ass figures will give you many poses and great close-up photos even in the smallest detail.

A Toy Hunting Adventure in Hong Kong

One of the typical characteristics of a toy collector is to find pleasure in discovering new and rare toy items in every place possible. When an opportunity strikes to go out of the country, we never fail to put in the travel itinerary to visit toy stores in the area.

Because of that, I want to share with you some of the toy stores I have visited in Hong Kong. Actually we were there for 2 days and toy hunting was just 3rd on the list. If you're just into casual toy shopping with no particular item in mind, a single day allotted is enough and that is if you already know how to get there.
