Update: Kabaya Brave Candy (Gum) Toy - King ExKizer

... or King ExKaiser, as some people spelled them as... This candy/gum toy kit contains many small parts and some of them drops out quite easily, so not recommended to smaller kids...  When assembling, some joints (eg. tight-covers that swivel, double-hinged joints for the big robot shoulders, etc) also need trimming for better fit, so do be aware...  Anyway, here it comes!!!

ExKizer with King Loader in vehicle mode... Exkizer seemed a little too small, weird proportion...


ExKizer, disengage!


Super small ExKizer in vehicle mode, closed-up picture to shows the lion-head logo...


After a "perfect transformation" (i.e. no parts-forming), ExKizer is now in robot mode, measuring about 2.9cm from head to toe... extremely tiny... the shoulders can move about due to the ball-joints but with limited range, and a single knee-joint for both legs...


ExKizer and King Loader, ready to combine! (note: King Loader also has a "perfect transformation", but extreme extrmeme care must be taken, else parts will fall...)


Combine to form...


... King ExKizer! ... Articulation-wise, the head can turn 360 degree (theoretically), and a little tilting up and down. Shoulders cannot rotate but the elbows can be bent though, so can make it hold the sword upright. Legs can open up (sideways) for the typical leg-open-big-big "Oppa Japan-robo Style". Feet can move up/down a little due to transformation...


Its actually quite tiring to assemble these small sized kits, so might be retiring for a while before I resume to assemble the other 2 kits... To be honest, I bought this set of 3 kits primarily for this King ExKizer only, as I already have the original-sized KO J-Decker, and I don't really like GaoGaiGar... nevertheless, they are quite good display pieces...

Bedok CC Flea Market - 17th Feb 2013

Annoucement:

Hi friends (in Singapore)! Bedok Community Centre will be holding its monthly flea market on 17th Feb, 8.30. I will be putting up a stall/place to sell some of my KOs and authentic transformers and other stuff this time. 99% are not MISB though, but many are just opened to test the transformation. Some are already fixed on loose joints etc. Come and have a look! See ya! =)

EDIT: Time of the flea market is 8.30am - 12pm.

Update: KO "Kabaya" - Spychanger Optimus Prime, G1 Sideswipe

They are finally assembled...

KO "Kabaya" Spychanger Optimus Prime
Wonderful little KO.... and it doesn't have awkwardly coloured parts from the 2 coloured kit pieces... Joints are quite tight, but spent some time figuring out how to assemble the arms connector-pieces... This KO measures approx. 6cm from shoulder to feet ( and roughly 5cm from head to feet)...


Vehicle mode...



KO "Kabaya" G1 Sideswipe
White colour G1 Sideswipe!!!!!! Hahahaha... Due to this KO's colour combination, this KO looks so weird.... Had to fix up much some loose parts though, as well as fix up the old stickers and make some new ones.... luckily have my Selleys Plastic Glue... It measures roughly 8cm from head to feet... The head sculpt and transformation is not good, but this is due to the original Kabaya toy design... Anyway, good enough...


Vehicle mode... Still feel this looks better than the robot mode...

Update: KO "Kabaya" Undersize Titanium Soundwave

Titanium Soundwave has shrunk!!!!!!! Hahaha... Finally decided to assmble this little fellow last night... Not bad, many joints are quite tight... and it has the "perfect transformation" too... Initially the feet points out to the sides in robot mode, but after some cutting and fixing, it now points to the front, lucky... Also have to drill a hole on the shoulder to mount the "shoulder missile pod/ gatling gun"... Cute little TF! Hahaha...



Robot is about 5.5cm tall...


Cassette player mode... The chest cannot be opened, similar to its oversize KO counterpart...


Can store the guns at the back!



Up next: (Most probably) KO "Kabaya" Spychanger Optimus Prime...
