Transformers Beast Hunters Deluxe Class Wheeljack












Let's switch gear and take a look at Autobot Wheeljack turning to beast hunter, picking up falcon spear and a disc as its weapon. Adding some tribal and primitive element to the automobile. Cool that Wheeljack in this Deluxe Class toyline, still retains very much his original form, in it G1 colour scheme and that familiar head sculpt. The toy was given some deliberate tarnishes for a more weathered appearance. Wheeljack still looks very sporty in it car mode with its mechanism nicely concealed. Chromed wheel rims and defined tires' traction for realism. The weapons optional to be attached at the roof of the car. 

In robot mode, the toy is proportional, standing approximately 5"tall, well balanced with good articulation. This tough-as-nails outer space adventurer is newly equipped with enhanced beast-hunting gear! Decepticons beware, because this Wheeljack figure is just the Autobot to take any of them on! His beast-hunting gear includes a disc-launching Falcon spear that launches major destruction at the Decepticons! When the battle calls for speed, convert him to low profile sports car mode. Keep converting him back and forth so his Decepticon enemies can’t keep up!

Fate/Zero Gilgamesh Ichiban Kuji Premium C Figure





















Fate/Zero is one knockout prequel after Fate/Stay Night, so good that the storyline and fight scenes took anime standard to a next level. The tragic of individual characters casted strong deep impression and flashback of the anime. The recent Fate/Stay Night Unlimited Blade Works, seems to me at first like a remake of first Fate/Stay Night, but apparently with some changes whereby plot of the episodes is primarily based on the Unlimited Blade Works storyline in the Fate/stay night visual novel. 

Nonetheless, subjects and projects related to Saber aroused my interests. My favourite villain would surely be Gilgamesh! He doesn't just come in silver armour but golden armour, certainly not the servant hero summon for salvation but chaos... In Fate/Zero, Gilgamesh came as an archer class hero which in my opinion totally outclass other heroes having the aerial advantage and unlimited Noble Phantasms and treasures from the gate of Babylon. So overkill and badass that I kind of like his royalty arrogance and stylish medieval outlook. 

I immediately convinced myself this Fate/Zero Gilgamesh Ichiban Kuji Premium C figure is a must have the very moment I saw it during the Tokyo Otaku trip. I didn't go through the hassle of trying my luck but paying more to procure it. Manufactured by Banpresto and beautifully sculpted by Toitekku and Vortex, this PVC figure stood @ an awesome display height of 22cm (approximately 8" - 9"). Came with a black stand with white contrast magus summon signs and the word 'Archer'. Maybe its the humid climate of Singapore that mercilessly caused the gold paint to fade off a little. Still Gilgamesh is as looking good whenever I took a glimpse of Gilgamesh pointing his weapon (Ra).

Monoeye Groupbuild 2015 @ Omocha Mura Toy Village Cafe






































































































The day has come when colony of monoeye kits struck Omocha Mura Toy Village Cafe! Considering the first Monoeye Groupbuild by main organizer 'Stanley' with a total of 38 registered entries, not to mention other honorable entries who showed up and gave up on lucky draw to registered entries. Monoeye Groupbuild 2015 definitely is a huge success! Like we had mentioned before, entries can be any monoeye kits but even so, we had younger participants who came with non-monoeye kits and organizers accepted them as entries as well in the good spirit of Gunpla! Sieg Zeon!

In fact, all 38 registered entries participants went home with lucky draw prizes thanx to our sponsors! Monoeye Groupbuild 2015 is a non-competitive and non-profitable event aim to promote Gunpla as a hobby and most importantly a gathering to find joy, fun and meaningful interaction among everyone present. Trust me, we have veterans, very experienced modeler and even previous GBWC winners who had graced the event. I saw participants came together as group of friends, couples registered together and even as a family.

Personally, I had lotz of fun snapping pics of entries and people at the event. After filtering some pics, I still have one hundred pics to process! I hope you guys enjoy the pics and special thanx to 'Shuan', the owner of Omocha Mura Toy Village Cafe for providing the venue and Kenny Lim for setting up the lightbox. Last by not least 'Stanley' for organizing, all who helped out and whoever came for the event! You guys rock!
