Hobby Shops For Otaku @ Bras Basah Complex

Most of us would know that Bras Basah Complex is known for getting books and art and stuff but do you know that you can find Gunpla/Toys/Marvel statue hobby shops over there as well. I had recently gone down to Bras Basah Complex, 'Hobby Complex' to get my supply of paint can spray and plastic gun parts for Gunpla mod. This 'Hobby Point' outlet was previously @ Suntec City before it shifted over to Bras Basah Complex. It's one of the three outlets, other known outlets to me is at Century Mall Tampines and Tiong Bahru Plaza. They have a wide range of plastic model kits from Gunpla, mecha kits, military kits to vehicle kits.  Trading figure and gashapon also available. Find them level 3.

Proceed to level 4 and you will the long existence 'XM Studios', where you will see superheroes statues, some really big ones, professionally done. A shop that had been going very strong with great support from comic fans who look forward to see their superheroes come to reality in great statues. Get ready to be impressed @ 'XM Studios' this STGCC 2014. 

LINE Plush Toys ( Moon Brown Cony )

Are you a LINE App user? It's similar to Watapps, in a more relax and leisure way. The most interesting component of LINE would surely be those Emoji-like pics known as "Stickers". Uniquely to LINE are some iconic characters like Mr Moon, Brown the bear and Cony the rabbit, in different expressions to describe your current mood. LINE had proven very useful as Guild Chat when I was playing 'Immortalis' on iPhone back then. These cutie plush toys were gift from a close friend when he returned from his Japan trip. They are good for display as well as armaments hung on bags.

Gundam 00: 1/400 Scale Ptolemaios

This is one of those carrier model kit which I had gave serious consideration of getting but forgave due to space constraint. Nonetheless, I had invested my money on a Playstation 3. Still is gave me great pleasure of reviewing Stanley's 1/400 Gundam 00 Ptolemaios Model Kits. Says on the box that it's a preprinted kit. It come with some stickers as well. Unfortunately, the sticker for the command bridge was black so I had painted chrome green over it. My apologies for the not some even surface. 

According to Stanley, the model itself was easy to put together when assembly duration of less than 3 hours and holds together very well, apart for the mechanism at the nose area. With an astonishing size of 630mm in length when assembled, it's a beautiful on display and worthy purchase which probably cost 300 plus Singapore dollars by now. 

1/400 Gundam 00 Ptolemaios was released in November in line with the introduction of Gundam Figure. Included in the set is miniature figures of Gundam Exia, Gundam Dynames, Gundam Kyrios (flight form), Gundam Virtue. Each figure can be stored in their own shuttle with opening/closing hatch. Each shuttle can also detached from a revolvable ring around the Ptolemaios. 

In additional, the first batch that was released came with a transparent shuttle for more elusive effect. In the anime, these shuttles would become GN Arms for the Gundams. Another gimmick of the model kit is the mechanism at the carrier's nose which can open up with flip over and attachment ram for recreation of anime scene of Gundam units catapulting off.
