Been away...

the Cock & Bull pub @KK waterfront,the waitress were hot with their skimpy waitress outfits,not too skanky...on last night in KK we came here for drinks,KK we'll miss you.
oh so this is 1Borneo...meh its alright i guess but if your used to the shopping centres in Singapore then this is pretty standard big shopping mall as they get. Funny thing is the roast pork or 'bak gua' shop there doesn't 'sell' any roask pork in the shop just the dried sotong and meat floss etc. They take orders & customers can pick up at the shop when the orders are done somewhere else then sent to the shop. Odd. I managed to get some for CNY in Segama under the pedestrain overhead bridge,yes remember that the ONLY place to buy proper roast pork or bak gua in at Segama under the pedestrian bridge.
KK old town area...
...near Mt Kinabalu...seeing Mt Kinabalu for the 1st time made me realize how small we humans are yet how big our earthly problems are...the air is literally air-cond cool.
Suria Sabah the new big mall in KK old town...still pretty empty as most shops not yet moved in.
the last late lunch break we had @ Lawas on the way back,after 2 straight days of rich shiok meals this simple Indian restaurant economy rice meal was a welcome treat.
Hotel Promenade facing KK bay area,sweet place to stay.
Api-Api centre,view from my room on the 6th floor at night.
and of course KK Toys at Api-Api Centre,mind you they close on weekends...just had a quick look inside...its an ok so so la toy shop with a wide selection of stuff with a very small range of 1/6 figures mostly Bandai RAH figures..i can tell the price is bit high. So NO toys haul this trip...gotta keep $$$ for my damn car repairs @$#%&*

Gayang seafood near 1Borneo,places like these are in secluded places but are usually damn good.
this is China wine...sorta like sake...its W.M.D(water of mass destruction) cos the alcohol level is 52%...anyways this was our last big dinner together before heading back the next day. Am surprised that i am actually sick of shiok fresh seafood in my life.

Mt Kinabalu Heritage resort & spa
dinner at 'Super Tanker' restaurant on the outskirts of KK town,that's the restaurant exterior but not sure which signboard is theirs.
Soon Seng restaurant in Lawas
the best damn steamed fish for the WHOLE trip no joke*

haven't been to KK in years so this past weekend work trip there was cool..drove up there and back mind you...

so cheers to KK...will miss you.

BaSTARDO

Hot Toys Aldo-definitely better gear & better likeness..BUT..

DML's Aldo

DML' Col Hans

As you can see DML has gone one up by producing & releasing much earlier both an Aldo & Col Hans figure for their Cyber-Hobby exclusives line. But i think DML's version has captured the perfect Aldo exaggerated 'i'mma gonna cut you' grin,the HT one is more of a hero facial expression still a pretty good likeness of Mr. Pitt.

I started this 1/6 hobby with DML's line of figures...at the time these guys pioneered the 1/6 industry & i STILL am convinced DML makes very detailed and fantastic 1/6 weapons. But sadly they don't have the popularity & in demand market as HT.

I liked the movie Inglorious Basterds with its signature Tarantino-ness style of pace,quirkiness & plot twist but KillBill vol.1 still tops my list as his best flick.

Ultra Galaxy Legend


The movie trailer.

The roadshow to promote the movie in Japan.

A very cool MV to promote the film,me likey.

Ultraman & UltraSeven in mime mode promoting the movie.*cute.
Tsuburaya has come to its sense & realized the only way to revive & generate popularity for the Ultraman series has been to re-introduce the old-school classic original Ultraman characters or in this case the original Ultra brothers as well as to focus more on the story line concerning the actual home world of the Ultras.

i have always looked forward to a movie where ALL the Ultras appear together with a storyline connecting their home world,its the same thing about finally having a look at the Predator home world in the most recent Predator/Alien movie-that was cool.

i am dying to see this new Ultraman movie Ultra Galaxy Legend but i have yet to find a link to stream/watch it online,the movie has been out since mid December 09' and yet no links found. It features the series first ever evil Ultra who's been banished & locked away until now.

so if ANYONE knows if there's an actual link to stream the actual movie (apparently the movie is based on the latest series of the same name) please PLEASE let me know. in the meantime as with the previous Kamen Rider post here are some screen-shots from the trailer as well as a very cool MV featuring Misia? And yes i am a huge fan of the old-school Ultras & Mebius is such a pussy always needing his big Ultra brother's help.

based on this trailer alone i think Ultraman Leo looks coolest with his Bruce Lee moves.

Kamen Rider Decade: All Riders vs. Dai-Shocker




i've just finished downloading this new Kamen Rider movie and just browse through quickly,even-though its got no subtitles (damn) I'll still have a watch later for the action. I LOVE the old-school classic Kamen Riders esp KR1,KR2 & KR V3,love em BUT sorry not a big fan of the new riders.

other then Ultraman i do like the classic old-school Kamen Riders and I'm trying to find a link to download the latest Ultraman movie Ultra Legend Galaxy Mega Monster Battle but to no avail,so if ANY of you guys find a link to watch in stream or download (but not torrent i hate it) please let me know. In the meantime here are snapshots from the Kamen Rider movie with all the cool classic Riders and all together.

TQ!!!

if i had these cylon babes they would give you all free lap dances...

at least 1 person(s) in 99 countries have visited my blog considering i don't expose my blog too much...most of my closest friends don't even know i have such a blog.

i am humbled that a person from as far away as French Polynesia has seen my blog,Merci whoever you are.

10,043 page-views as of 6pm Friday 15th Jan 2010...since using a tracker from august 09 and i started this blog for fun in early march 09 so actual numbers could be higher if we're counting.

i know my numbers are nothing compared to the ones of my fellow local toy bloggers but i am bit low profile yet 99 visiting countries and over 10k page-views means something to me and i dedicate this post to you all-THANK YOU!!!
interestingly enough my single highest visited post so far was this one with 129 visits and 252 counter views whatever that means.

http://actfigsstuff.blogspot.com/2009/09/action-city-plaza-singapura-branch_06.html

but funny enough the first post that received over 60+ page-views was this one:

http://actfigsstuff.blogspot.com/2009/08/something-differentgod-this-milf-is.html

and its got nothing to do with any of my hobbies at all LoL.

Anyways its late and the office is getting creepy so I'm out of here.

Gotta post more..yes?

the life size R2D2 and Yoda statue window display at Simply Toys Plaza Singapura,my nephew posing for reference. So if Yoda was real life this is how tall/short he would be.

below are hp pics of the fantastic displays inside,most toy-shops in Sg frown upon picture taking in their shops so no choice can only use my hp to tapuk tapuk (malay for inconspicuously) snap these when they weren't looking.
i love the all white initial Boba Fett design on this miniature bust.

the Predator head & masks is 1/1 scale,it looks awesome i tell you.

so are these replica lightsabres,all 1/1 scale.

below are pics from a swords & armor shop next door,these are not miniatures all 1/1 life-size. Only in Sg such shops can do business,here? You wait long long lah.
these are the only toy-shops pics from my recent Xmas Sg trip from last year (gosh!) cos traveling with a 4 year old boy its not a great idea to go to too many toy shops. Anyways I've covered some major Sg toy-shops in my previous other posts below:

so you guys know i usually just do 1 posting per week maybe...I've been wondering if i should blog more often...perhaps not on 1/6 theme but on other stuff,my blog is called actfigs & stuff after all...but i seldom post preview pics of new toy releases..perhaps i should? i don't know...with my humble amateur hobby blog approaching 100 countries visiting & 10,000 page-views...maybe i should? i don't know...what do YOU guys think?

Terrence Howard as U.S. Air Force Lieutenant Colonel James "Rhodey" Rhodes in pararescue gear from the first Iron Man.
