Hobbylink Japan can suck my toe!

Just nak share pengalaman buruk aku deal dgn HLJ.com.

Memang aku tak selalu beli dari diorang, tapi aku standby just in case supplier aku yg lain habis stock. Lagipun, year end sale depa kadang2 dapat barang bagus.

Sayangnya, sejak bisnes depa berkembang, depa dah makin besar kepala; customer kecik2 cam aku ni depa layan cam nak tak nak je....fine, i'll just take my business elsewhere!

Sini aku lampirkan email aku dgn diorang:

I was trying to login to my account, when I was presented with this message:

"The account associated with that login has been suspended due to a violation of our service terms and conditions. If you believe this to be in error, or would like more information about this suspension, please contact our customer service department for assistance."

As I have not recently made any order from your website, can you please explain in detail what VIOLATION did I make?

Thank you in advance.
-boyarque-


Thanks for writing.

You share an address with a customer who has committed credit card fraud against us; as such, we are very sorry, but we will not be able to fill your order now or at any time in the future. Please find another supplier for your hobby needs.

Thanks for your interest in HobbyLink Japan.

First of all, thank you for your reply.

However, I find your reply quite rude.
First of all, none of you send me any emails to clarify on this matter.

Second of all, I DO NOT own any credit card!!!

I might have let this matter pass, but since you so arrogantly dismiss me as your customer, I'll make sure ALL my collector friends in Malaysia and in Macrossworld know about this insult.

Also, another of my friend is also facing this problem, and yet, he's using a legitimate credit card!

Thanks but no thanks!

MECHA GUY: YAMATO: 1/60 Macross 7 VF-19P - New Image

Great news for Macross valks lovers! Remember the VF-19 Kai? Well, some (like me) did not quite like the 'cartoonish' look but would love to have one of these....well, fret not! Now Yamato has posted pics of the upcoming VF-19P, obviously using the same revamped and improved mold!

The only drawback is the price point... Yen 22,000, yeesh!! That's almost RM 900 folks! Well...think I'll save up for the VF-4G Lightning coming out this December instead... (^_^').....

For now, enjoy the pics!

SBPA Dibatalkan !!!!


Hehehe....aku sebagai salah seorang penjawat awam, ketawa kecil baca ni. Bukan apa, sebelum ni kakitangan awam dah berbalah-balah disebabkan isu SBPA. Buat yang tak tahu tentang isu ni, ada sedikit petikan dari http://www.ammboi.com :

"Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak hari ini mengumumkan skim Saraan Baru Perkhidmatan Awam (SBPA) yang sepatutnya berkuatkuasa pada 1 Jan 2012 dibatalkan dan mengekalkan Skim Saraan Malaysia (SSM) yang ditambah baik. Perdana Menteri juga mengumumkan penubuhan sebuah suruhanjaya untuk mengkaji secara komprehensif sistem saraan untuk penjawat pada masa depan.

Perdana Menteri juga mengumumkan :

  • Pelarasan gaji sebanyak 13 peratus bagi Kumpulan Pengurusan dan Professional dan Kumpulan Pelaksana dari Gred 1 hingga Gred 54
  • Bagi Kumpulan Gred Utama C,B,A (sembilan peratus)
  • Gred Turus 3 dan 2 (lapan peratus) dan
  • Gred Turus Satu dan Ketua Setiausaha Negara (tujuh peratus)
  • Jadual gaji matriks yang dilaksanakan sekarang diubahsuai kepada gaji minimum-maksimum dengan kadar kenaikan RM80-RM320 bagi Gred 1-54 manakala gred bagi Jusa kekal mengikut kenaikan tahunan SSM.
  • Kenaikan Elaun Bantuan Sara Hidup (COLA) kepada RM250 sebulan dari RM200 bagi kawasan B manakala bagi kawasan C dinaikkan kepada RM150 daripada RM100.

Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak membuat pengumuman itu pada perhimpunan khas bersama penjawat awam di Dewan Perdana Pusat Konvensyen Antarabangsa Putrajaya di sini hari ini.

Berkenaan isu SBPA dan SSM ini memang sudah lama sangat baru selesai, namun ianya belum selesai sepenuhnya lagi selagi kita tak lihat sendiri Lampiran C yang dikhabarkan bakal menjadi struktur baru gaji penjawat awam dengan pengekalan SSM itu.

Isu bayaran tunggakan bermula 1 Januari 2012 juga kirim salam sahajalah. Dah namanya SBPA dibatalkan maka sudah tentu tunggakannya pun dibatalkan jugak. Pastinya ia boleh dianggap sebagai tidak adil untuk penjawat awam apatah lagi tempoh masa menunggu ini sepatutnya penjawat awam (yang gaji SBPA terdahulu naik banyak) sudah menerima kenaikan gajinya dengan gembira dan suka hati.

Apapun syukur tetap kena bersyukur. Cuma sedikit pesanan kepada pihak yang ‘berkenaan’, lain kali kalau nak buat sesuatu tu bawalah berbincang. Jangan main syok sendiri sahaja. Sekarang kesibukan anda berbulan-bulan tu hanyalah sia-sia sahajalah."


Masa ura2 dulu yang CUEPACS mintak kerajaan naikkan gaji kakitangan awam sampai RM1800, aku dah argue dengan rakan2 sejawatan. Aku rasa permintaan tu tak logik...kalau berdasarkan pendapatan negara kita sekarang ni, memang tak mampu. Tapi mereka beria-ia mengatakan tuntutan itu patut, dan macam-macam la alasan depa bagi, termasuk isu BR1M pun depa heret sekali ( which is a moot point actually, sebab BR1M mekanisme pembayaran dia tak sama dengan pembayaran gaji kakitangan kerajaan yang lebih bersifat kekal ).

Tapi cam biasala, bila kita argue benda yang tak best, apatah lagi melibatkan gaji, ramai la yang melenting, sampai fakta depan mata pun dah tak dipedulikan. Aku ingat lagi, lepas dah malas dengar depa menegakkan benang basah, aku cakap "Bukan apa, aku tak mau CUEPACS ni terlampau mendesak kerajaan dengan berbagai demand, last2 nanti Datuk Najib kata, sudahlah! Batal je la SBPA ni kalau banyak sangat cengkadak!". Dan balas depa "Takkan la dah announce boleh batal...hahahaah!".

La ni, terima je la apa yang dapat dengan penuh kesyukuran....Allah dah bagi rezeki tu gunakan sebaiknya. Takdakla sampai RM1800, tapi memadai.

Dan pada yang sempat buat loan guna payslip SBPA yang 'terlepas' beberapa bulan yang lepas...kalau dah lebih 60% potongan tu, sendiri mau ingat, jangan dok gebang kat meja kantin dok bising gaji tak cukup ye....

New Master Grade Releases????

Oh my Oh my Oh my Oh my Oh my Oh my Oh my Oh my.....baru je aku upload posting sebelum ni, terbaca lak dari blog Gundam Guy yang Bandai akan keluarkan dua lagi Master Grade baru!!!

1. MG 1/100 RMS-108 Marasai!!!!


2. MG 1/100 Blitz Gundam!!!
*belum ada pic

Aku mmg suka dua2 ni, lagi lak Marasai....sebelum ni asik2 Zaku je...heheheeh...Go Bandai!

MG 1/100 Gundam Unicorn Full Armor Ver. Ka

Wallauweiiiii.....dah 2012??? Lama giler aku tak update blog aku ni..hehehe...sebenarnya, sebelum ni server ofis aku block akses ke blog2, rumah lak pc aku dok wathal....so hilang jap semangat nak blogging nih.

Anywhoooo....tadi try2 boleh lak masuk blog aku ni, so meh aku share sket aku punya WIP (work in progress) model kit ni, Bandai Master Grade 1/100 Gundam Unicorn Full Armor Ver. Ka.

Ni gambo kotak:


Ni gambo isi, punya banyak runner :



Untuk pengetahuan semua, Gundam Unicorn boleh tukar mode dari Unicorn mode ke Destroy Mode. Untuk Destroy Mode, kit ini agak istimewa, kerana psycommu frame yang berwarna 'clear green' tu boleh bertindak balas dengan LED! Ni sample gambar dari blog GundamGuy:



So, aku suka coat model gundam aku dgn matt coat utk nampak solid dan 'real'. Tapi aku taknak la coating tu kena pada part 'psycommu frame', sebab akan hilang la efek lutsinar tu.

SO aku ambik keputusan untuk panel-lining dan pasang decals pada outer armor dan add-on parts terlebih dahulu, spray coat semuanya, dan baru pasang pada main body, with the frame... :)

Kali ini, aku baru sempat siap unit Jabber Base Type 94 dulu:







K, sampai sini dulu...nanti siap aku update lagi....kalu takder aral aaa, hahahaha...

Misi melantak sakan~Return To Ipoh


Weekend lepas, mak aku ajak bercuti di Ipoh. Aku mmg asal orang Ipoh, so agak nostalgia la perjalanan kali ni...lama weh tak balik!

Kat Ipoh aku lepak kat rumah Mak Teh, adik kepada Mak aku. Dia ni la yg bermurah hati sponsor segala makan minum kami selama dua hari dua malam di sana....terima kasih daun keladi la jawabnye... :p
Meh ikut aku breakfast dulu....



Haaa...ni lokasi pertama aku, sudah tentu la sarapan pagi! :)
Dah lama aku ngidam mi camni, kat tempat lain takdak, kalau ada pun yang non-halal ler...yg ni yg buat mi dan segala jenis fishball dan fishcake adalah akak kat atas tu...seorang Cina mualaf. Dia ni bini no.2 tokay, dan sama2 meniaga dgn bini no. 1...aman harmoni you!





Aku order mi kicap...power seh! Dan mmg tak lengkap la kalau aku tak order satu mangkuk extra fishball! Kari melekat! Padahal set mi kicap pun dah datang dgn set sup fishball dia, hahahaah!


Ha, set roti bakar dia pon mengancam weh....dah macam bijik mata terjojol! Untuk pengetahuan anda, telur tu dibakar ye, bukan direbus....fuhhh...



Next, tak complete pi Ipoh kalau tak pekena.....NASI GANJA!

Rilek, rilek...hehehe, ni 'ganja' halal punya, urine test confirm tak kantoi! Dari aku remaja belasan tahun sampai la sekarang belia 'puluhan' tahun, Nasi Ganja tetap maintain kepopularitiannya...siap beratur pun sanggup tuh! Masa aku sampai nasib baik line tak panjang lagi, heheeheh...



Terletak di Pekan Ipoh, di simpang trafik light, betul2 seberang dari Balai Polis Ipoh.



Hehheehe...ni la dianya, cara bungkus pun masih klasik~ Plastik dan suratkhabar!




Tu diaaaa.....mana nak dapat ni kat Kay El....ayam goreng pedas yg spesel, sotong kari yang segar, sambal kelapa yang menangkap! Eh....aku bedal dulu la yer, Bismillah....

So, anda gemar membaca?

Hi all...lama dah tak update blog ni...bz semedang...

Mana taknya, ofis sibuk dengan 5S. Haih....

Anyways, antara hobi aku yg lain adalah aku suka membaca. Komik, novel, ensiklopedia, apa2 jelah yang menarik. Walau dgn medium sekarang yang makin canggih seperti Blu-ray lah, wayang 3D la, IMax la....membaca pada aku still jadi pilihan.

Mana taknya, aku ni penakut citer2 seram dan ganas. Ganas ni pada aku sampai tahap mayat bersepai, berdarah, kaki kepala tercabut....heh, tapi dgn membaca, aku boleh experience semua ni. In fact, aku kalau terlalu khusyuk membaca, sampai tahap aku boleh visualise citer-citer tu semua dalam kepala.

Ok lah, sebenarnya aku nak berkongsi dengan korang semua beberapa link yg menarik, boleh buat layan sementara tunggu waktu rehat atau masa-masa kerja tengah tak banyak tu kan. Ye la, baik membaca dari mengumpat, ye tak? Kui3...

Nah!:
Graphic Novel ; dan

Batman vs The Thing?

See ya!

Revoltech ARX-8 Laevatein has arrived!!


Yesssss!!! Just like the title say....the action figure I have been waiting for appeared suddenly on my office desk!

Since I bought this using SAL shipping from Hobbylink Japan (HLJ), I was not expecting it to arrive so soon! It only took 9 days total! Thank you HLJ! Owh, you guys can still get this figure and many others ( I also buy my Macrosses from HLJ ) from HLJ's website, http://www.hlj.com/ .

Anyways, I can't wait to open up the box and see what the figure can do. I'll make a review later on.

Before I sign off, if you are curious about this mech, please check out the manga Full Metal Panic. It's a fun read, full of action, romance and comedy!

Owh, and to all Muslim readers, SELAMAT MENYAMBUT AIDILFITRI!!!

Ku Sendiri Lagi...

Well, it looks like I am all alone again.

Nah, I still have my mom, my sisters, my two kids from my previous marriage.....but now I'm missing my other half, someone to share all my joy, my sorrow, thru thick and thin....

There was someone before, but then, as fate would have it, she's going through a phase which makes it illegal and immoral for us to pursuit our relationship...and sadly though what we had was beautiful, it had to end...

No use lamenting now, just try to pick up the pieces and move on ( though I hate when this happens ). To my beloved, I can only pray that things work out the best for you, and please forgive me for all the wrongs I've done to you and let's cherish our happy memories together....Allah's willing.

For now, jom layan lagu ni:

www.youtube.com/watch?v=yxnPqsEaBhg


Jenuh aku mendengar
Manisnya kata cinta
Lebih baik sendiri

Bukannya sekali
Seringku mencoba
Namun kugagal lagi

Mungkin nasib ini
Suratan tanganku
Harus tabah menjalani

Jauh sudah melangkah
Menyusuri hidupku
Yang penuh tanda tanya

Kadang hati bimbang
Menentukan sikapku
Tiada tempat mengadu

Hanya iman di dada
Yang membuatku mampu
Slalu tabah menjalani

Malam malam aku sendiri
Tanpa cintamu lagi oh..oh ho..ho
Hanya satu keyakinanku
Bintang kan bersinar
Menerpa hidupku
Bahagia kan datang

"13 Alasan Tipikal Wanita Yang Enggan Menutup Aurat"

Dipetik dari email yang diterima dari seorang sahabat, boleh dijadikan panduan untuk diri kita semua.


"13 Alasan Tipikal Wanita Yang Enggan Menutup Aurat"

Salam A'laik. Pernah nasihat dan tegur kawan-kawan anda yang tidak menutup aurat? Jom kita tengok apakah alasan yang selalu digunakan wanita yang enggan menutup aurat apabila ditegur kesalahan mereka itu. Dan apa jawapan yang mungkin sesuai untuk mereka.

1. Semua yang tutup aurat, kompom masuk syurga ke?

-Yang pasti, tak tutup aurat, kompom masuk neraka.

2. Tudung labuh pun macam baik sangat. Buat dosa jugak. Mengumpat orang.

-Bila Iblis tak mahu ikut perintah Allah untuk bersujud kepada Adam, dia menyalahkan perintah Allah itu. "Apahal pulak aku kena sujud, aku lebih baik dan mulia". Samalah dengan tudung. Tudung pula yang disalahkan, " pakai tudung tak mestinya baik..bla...bla...bla..."

3. Macamlah kau bagus sangat nak tegur aku. Kau dulu lagi jahat.

-Tidak tersabit larangan dari Nabi untuk seseorang yang bahkan baru masuk Islam untuk pergi berdakwah kepada kaumnya. Maksudnya, dakwah itu tuntutan. Selagi kau Islam, dakwah tu wajib walaupun kau sendiri tak berapa betul. Sekurang-kurang dia insaf dan bertaubat sekarang.

4. Walau kami pakai seksi tapi hati kami baik.

-Adakah kau mendakwa diri kau mempunyai hati yang suci, iman yang tinggi dan kononnya ia sudah cukup menjamin maruah diri kau tanpa perlu menutup aurat?

5. Pakai jarang ke ketat ke, itu hak kami. Kalau tak suka jangan tengok.

-Adakah kau berani menjamin bahawa semua lelaki ajnabi mempunyai hati suci dan iman yang tinggi untuk menahan godaan syaitan serta nafsu yang membuak-buak?

6. Kami rasa apa yang kami pakai tak seksi. Terpulang kepada individu yang memandang kami.

-Seksi atau tidak, kau tetap berdosa walaupun hanya menayang sehelai rambut kau.

7. Walau kami tak bertudung, kami tetap sembahyang dan puasa.

-Apakah ibadat kau diterima? Kau yakin cuma dengan berpuasa sudah cukup untuk menjamin kau masuk syurga?

8. Sukahati kamilah nak pakai macam ni. Kami tak susahkan hidup orang lain.

-Kau sebenarnya dah susahkan bapa, abang, adik, suami serta orang lain dengan menarik mereka ke neraka bersama kau disebabkan mereka tidak menegur dan gagal mendidik kau.

9. Apa yang kami pakai, ini antara kami dengan Tuhan.

-Berani cakap di dunia, berani ke kau cakap macam tu depan Allah nanti? Lawan perintah Allah, Neraka tempatnya.

10. Kami pakai seksi macam ni, sebab ikut arahan photographer/pengarah filem untuk disesuaikan dalam scene. (ayat artis)

-Sanggup patuh arahan mereka daripada patuh suruhan Allah?

11. Bukan kami tak mahu menutup aurat, cuma masih belum sampai seru.

-Mati tidak mengenal usia. Tak takut ke mati dalam usia muda? Tak sempat nak bertaubat nanti.

12. Takkan nak buat perubahan secara drastik? Slow-slow la..

-Boleh ke cakap kat Malaikat Izrail nanti, tunggu kejap! Lepak la dulu. Jangan ambil lagi nyawa aku.

13. Tutup aurat tu bagus tapi kami tidak mahu hipokrit kerana tidak ikhlas melakukannya.

-Kalau begitu kau sebenarnya memang hipokrit kerana tidak ikhlas beragama Islam.

“Wahai wanita, setiap ciptaan tuhan yang berharga di dunia ini akan terlindung dan amat sukar untuk diperolehi. Di mana kamu boleh dapatkan permata? Tertanam jauh di perut bumi, tertudung dan dilindungi. Dimana kamu jumpa Mutiara? Terbenam jauh di dalam lautan, tertudung dan dilindungi oleh kulit kerang yang cantik. Di mana kamu cari emas? Terperosok di lapisan bumi tertudung dengan lapisan demi lapisan tanah dan batu. Tubuh kamu adalah suci malah lebih berharga daripada emas mahupun permata. Oleh itu kamu juga perlu bertudung dan melindungi diri kamu.”

: Menegur memang ada caranya.. Maaf jika aku terlalu kasar dalam menegur.. Manusia.. Tak pernah lari daripada kesilapan.. So, terima kasih pada yang menegur. Aku tidak akan sama sekali melenting. Aku bersyukur bila ada yang menegur sebab itu tandanya orang sayangkan kita.. =)

Hanya sekadar renungan....

X Men : First Class.....A Class Of Its Own

Hi guys n gals! Aku tak pernah buat entry pasal movies nih, tapi kali ni aku cam terpanggil lak untuk mengomen/mengomel. Well, dari tajuk entry je korang dah boleh tau, aku baru tengok citer X Men terbaru ni. Berbeza dari siri X Men sebelum ni, ini adalah prequel/reboot.

Prequel kerana dia menceritakan macam mana X Men ni bermula, reboot kerana Penerbit dan Pengarah mahu mengolah cerita X Men semual, selepas cerita yg agak 'phail' pada siri X Men Last Stand.
.
Ramai tahu X Men diketuai oleh Profesor Charles X. Xavier dan Brotherhood of Evil oleh Magneto, tapi mungkin ramai tidak tahu asalnya mereka adalah rakan karib....agak tragik kan? Well, cerita kali ni pengarah explore dengan lebih mendalam perhubungan akrab antara mereka berdua ini, dan juga hubung kait dengan karekter2 lain ( hint: Bakal makbapak NightCrawler ada dalam citer ni ;p).

Setting cerita dibuat sekitar tahun 60-an, lengkap dengan senario politik dan masalah sosial semasa. Kalau korang perasan, ramai pengkritik bebas tak puas hati dengan elemen-elemen racism yg wujud dalam cerita kali ni ( aku tak mau reveal, korang tengok sendiri baru puas, heheeh ), tapi tu la, kang aku cakap depa ni mengong, marah...tapi, again, THIS MOVIE TAKES PLACE IN THE 60's, YA FOOLS!!!

Memang la era tu, terlampau banyak berlaku diskriminasi kaum dan gender! And the director and actor sure play their parts well! Kudos to Michael Fassbender dan juga Kevin Bacon, sebab dialog2 mereka, yg memainkan emosi karekter lain, telah menyebabkan the 'so-called' critics bising! Hahahaah....

Anyways, aku boleh katakan kali ni, efek khas tidak segempak tiga siri movie X Men yg awal, tetapi takpe, sebab ini menyebabkan kita dapat memberi perhatian penuh kepada plot, character development dan krisis dalaman yang mereka hadapi, serius!

Dan tidak lengkap sesuatu movie kalau tidak ada cameo kan? Hehehe...korang jangan sekali-kali kelip mata sepanjang movie ni, ada je benda yang berkait.....

Finally, aku takmo citer lebih2, nanti yang belum tengok jadi spoil la pulak kan...so cukup setakat aku boleh bagi 4.5/5 bintang...it's that good!

What's $ 50 To You?

Got this email from a friend. It is actually a 'chain-mail' spam, but I found the story touching nonetheless, so maybe it's worth it to share with all of ya.....




A woman came home from work late, tired and irritated, to find her 5-year
old son waiting for her at the door.

SON: 'Mummy, may I ask you a question?'
MUM: 'Yeah sure, what it is?' replied the woman.
SON: 'Mummy, how much do you make an hour?'
MUM: 'That's none of your business. Why do you ask such a thing?' the woman
said angrily. SON: 'I just want to know. Please tell me, how much do you make an
hour?'
MUM: 'If you must know, I make $ 50 an hour.'
SON: 'Oh,' the little boy replied, with his head down. 'Mummy, may I
please borrow $ 25?'

The mother was furious, 'If the only reason you asked that is so you can
borrow some money to buy a silly toy or some other nonsense, then you march
yourself straight to your room and go to bed. Think about why you are being so
selfish. I don't work hard every day for such childish frivolities...'. The
little boy quietly went to his room and shut the door. The woman sat down and
started to get even angrier about the little boy's questions. How dare he ask
such questions only to get some money? After about an hour or so, the woman had
calmed down, and started to think: Maybe there was something he really needed to
buy with that $ 25 and he really didn't ask for money very often.

The woman went to the door of the little boy's room and opened the door.
'Are you asleep, son?' She asked.
'No Mummy, I'm awake,' replied the boy.
'I've been thinking, maybe I was too hard on you earlier' said the woman.
'It's been a long day and I took out my aggravation on you. Here's the $ 25 you
asked for.'
The little boy sat straight up, smiling. 'Oh, thank you Mummy!' he
yelled. Then, reaching under his pillow he pulled out some crumpled up bills.
The woman saw that the boy already had money, started to get angry again.
The little boy slowly counted out his money, and then looked up at his mother.
'Why do you want more money if you already have some?' the mother grumbled.
'Because I didn't have enough, but now I do,' the little boy replied.
'Mummy, I have $ 50 now. Can I buy an hour of your time? Please come home early
tomorrow. I would like to have dinner with you.'

The mother was crushed. She put her arms around her little son, and
she begged for his forgiveness. It's just a short reminder to all of you working
so hard in life. We should not let time slip through our fingers without having
spent some time with those who really matter to us, those close to our hearts.
Do remember to share that $ 50 worth of your time with someone you love. If we
die tomorrow, the company that we are working for could easily replace us in a
matter of hours. (Very True) But the family & friends we leave behind will
feel the loss for the rest of their lives.

Yammie Love ( blatantly ripped off from Puppy Love, lol!)

This is too funny for me to let pass. The original song, Puppy Love, was sung by Paul Anka in the 60's. According to wikipedia, the lyrics relate the plight of a seventeen-year-old taunted by accusations that feelings for his/her beau are "puppy love", ending with the refrain "How can I ever tell them this is not a puppy love?" .

Well, a good friend of mine, Gordon Sim, who is also a fan of Macross, have quite a beef with Yamato, the current producer of Macross toys. Their product quality sometimes sux, which lead to my friend's lamentation. This bastardization of the song Puppy Love is aptly named: Yammie Love! Hit it, Gordon! XD




And they call it yammie love


oh i guess they'll never know


how a broken valk really feels


and why i'd still love them so



And they called it yammie love


just because they're a small company


Tell them all please tell them it isn't fair


to waste my monthly pay



I cry each night


my tears for stressmarks


broken parts, plastik in pain


i hope and i pray that maybe one day


they'll sell a version 2 once again



(Chorus x2)



Someone tell me please


is there answer from japan


how can i tell them oh how can i tell them


This is not a yammie love



*Credits to Gordon Sim for the funny lyrics. (At least I think he write this)

RUSSIAN ROULETTE

A South African delegate visits Russia on a State visit.

One evening, after dinner, the host of the party invites the South African delegate to participate in the game of Russian Roulette. Before he got a chance to answer, he was drawn into a sideroom. Here he was given a gun with only one bullet in the magazine. He was instructed to spin the magazine, point the gun at his head and shoot.

Now obviously he did not wish to carry out this dangerous sport but he did so as for not to offend to Russian's "ritual". Luckily he did not get the bullet but was clearly very shaken by the experience. Some time later the very same Russian paid a return visit to South Africa. Now the South African felt that he could get his own back so he drew the latter into a side room. "Now it your time to play SOUTH AFRICA'S roulette. Go into this room and there you will find seven women. Any one of these will give you a Blowjob...""So, what's the catch?" asked the Russian....

HotToys IM2 Mark VI

Hi all fellow friends and collectors! Guess what? I finally received my Mark VI!! Wohoooo.....

Heheh, yeah, so what..... Anywhooooo...to jumpstart those who are new to this collectible arena, HotToys is a Hong Kong based company which specialises in producing 1/6 scaled figures, from movies and videogames. So far their products are of high quality, hence sought after by all collectors.

I already got my War Machine ( see past review ), so it's only logical for me to get the main suit from the Iron Man 2 movie, the MARK VI! Without further ado, let's proceed...

THE PACKAGING





The packaging is almost similar to War Machine's, with the outer box-sleeve depicting the character. Metallic finish gives it that exclusive feel...




I said similar, because this time, a special base is also given, to recreate the final scene where Mark VI and War Machine goes up against Whiplash and the Hammertech Drones. Cool!


ACCESSORIES







Optional battle damage armor, extra base, extra palm/fists including a pair with articulated fingers, Tony Stark head in armor makes this a worthwhile collection. One point of caution; the 'function stick' supplied is TRANSPARENT in color, so if you are not careful while taking out the manual, you might drop and lose it...you have been warned... :P








Display Stand and Action Base



Tony Stark's head. Excellent sculpt.






DESIGN/GIMMICK






Overall design is superb. Almost 100% likeness of the movie hero. Articulation is not really the high point since this figure is made more for display value. Having said that, the available range of motion is impressive enough. I'll show you later on.







Mask on, mask off! I could swear that's Tony Stark/Robert Downey Jr. himself wearing the armor.









LED on both palms, head and chest.





Okay, remember what I said about the range of motion? See the hip? It's actually extendable, you can twist the body at almost 45degree angle all around, making more dynamic poses possible! I just love this feature. And the groin armor it actually made of flexible material, I think rubber, so that it does not interfere much with the leg articulation. Great job!








For those who are into photography, you will know joy with this figure... ;)




"I promote world peace!", or is it," Teh tarik duer, buih lebih!"











To those who thinks that Mark VI wimped out to War Machine's arsenal, fret not, cause this suit comes fully loaded, babey! Take a look at above pics.






At the hips is the hidden chaff/flare dispenser. A simple twist will activate or deactivate the device. But on my unit, the left part is a bit problematic. See the 'thorny' parts there? It tend to stick out with even the slightest twist and turn on the thigh. I heard from a friend of mine, http://www.superheroesbase.com/, this is a common issue though.










Another nice gimmick is the flaps on the back and leg calf. My complaint is that the large back flaps could not stay flush with the main body...but nothing serious.













Pairing it with HotToys War Machine.....absolute fun!




Now, let's look at the 'battle damage' option parts, ok? ;)


'Battle damaged' MK VI





Mask.


Chest armor







Right and left arm.






Thigh armor.







Here is the overall look with all the optional battle damage armors installed. I guess this is where HotToys really excell, since with this nice addition, you can get TWO whole new look with just one figure! And the addition of the diorama-stand really spice up the display. I have a whole lot of fun just taking pictures for this review. XD



I guess that's it then. I try to be really short and straight to the point, so that I do not bore you with tiny, nerdy details...haha! Out of 5, I confidently give this figure a 4.5/5. If not because of the minor issues, Hottoys could have made the perfect score. Seriously, what are you waiting for? Go get one already!




" You don't wanna regret missing us in your collection, pal....."
