Watch Star Movies #TheWayYouWantIt!

Let's get out of my toy room for a while and relax while we watch my digital cable TV. Without the invention and wonders of a television set, we may not fully know and enjoy the super heroes, science fiction and movie characters we idolize today.

I remember during the 70-80s decade, we were limited to a number of channels and you can see some video noise due to its dependency to the antenna's location.

Imagine if you could watch different channels worldwide and enjoy them in the best picture quality without interruption. I think your family and friends will never know the meaning of boredom but instead quality entertainment at home anytime.

Now these are made possible by SKYcable where you can watch 180 channels worldwide in key cities where you can enjoy be updated with what's going on around the world. That is seeing what other nation see in the comfort of your own home.

My Photo Entry for Star Wars 6" Black Series


"Bad boys do have a way with women"

This is my photo entry for the Star Wars 6" Black Series. After tapping my imagination and creativity, this idea finally came to my mind. As we all know, Princess Leia has always been one of the sexiest girl seen on science fiction films. This made me wonder what could have every men in the movie set imagined when they saw Carrie Fisher on her slave outfit?

The picture above depicts some funny moments that could somehow entered the minds of some Star Wars men-character IF a digital camera already existed. It could have a built-in x-ray or super high definition camera feature that can be quickly transferred to their Comlink or Holographic devices.

By the way, the contest runs until February 28, 2014.

Hope to see you soon for my next toy review of War Machine from Iron Man 2.

MAD Magazine Alfred E. Neuman as Superman



One of the best comedy magazines I grew up with is Mad magazine. Every issue is worth the bucks because from the cover page only, you will never miss a laugh with their official fictional model Alfred E. Neuman.

Alfred E. Neuman first appeared from a postcard that is pinned in the bulletin board of Ballantine Books which later caught the attention of Mad editor Harvey Kurtzman. "It was a face that didn't have a care in the world, except mischief," recalled Kurtzman. From then on, Alfred became a sensation!

Jakks Pacific's 31" DARTH VADER


Giant Darth Vader
"You don't know the power of the dark side." -Darth Vader
Now here is one popular villain/hero when it comes to science fiction characters - Darth Vader! I've been a Star Wars fan ever since I was a kid and my first Star Wars action figure was the 1983 Kenner's Return of the Jedi Darth Vader. From teenage to adulthood I have collected various forms of Vaders until one day I saw a giant size Darth Vader being sold online. Having read and watched some figure reviews, I was finally convinced to have one. So after a couple of months searching for this figure locally, I got mine from Toys R Us.

Marvel Select THOR : The Dark World Figure Review


Marvel Select Thor Dark World

I got this Thor figure from one of my favorite ebay stores who offers free shipping and discount. I regret taking a photo of it while it was still in the package because of excitement I guess :-)

Anyway presenting Marvel Select Thor : The Dark World! I was actually waiting for the right time to buy a more good looking Thor since I really don't have one until Marvel Select heard my prayer. For me, this figure is the best among the previous releases. Why? Read on and I'll tell you why.

Neca E.T. The Extra Terrestrial Galactic Friend E.T.


Neca E.T. Galactic Friend
Neca's E.T. Galactic Friend Series 1
Here is one awesome figure that brings back memories from a 1982 movie-E.T. which means Extra Terrestrial. I actually saw this Steven Spielberg film not on the big screen but on a betamax player! The unique look of this alien creature that represents ignorance, friendliness and good heart made me say "I want one!" I even remember my mother who calls my uncle E.T. because of his face resemblance which never fails to make every one laugh.

There were already E.T. toys in the 80s being sold in cinemas but of course not as good as the new ones. They come with a blinking finger and an illuminated heart between its chest. It was powered by a 9 volt square battery.
