Side-Tracked: Recent Haul of TFs (188) - Titans

Haul from Taobao finally came... and I learnt an important lesson : Never buy through ezBuy agent after October... they thought they can handle with all the promotions they throw out since the 10.10, but they are proven very wrong, either too short in manpower than anticipated, or their current SOP is not designed to handle such big flow, and the good old quality standard never came back even till now... sigh... Anyway, count myself lucky that I got most of the items ordered... Here goes (for tokusatsu items, visit my other blog Kamen Rider Fever ... For Now ):

First up, the Ku Bian Bao a.k.a. KBB a.k.a. 酷变宝 Starburst... But we all know who he really is: Starscream (the MP 11 version) !!!!!! hahahahaha... Super big box, which totally just waste more volumetric shipping and up the shipping fee... hahahahaha... Costs about SGD83.35 (I stupidly accidentally choose the Express Air shipping which costs way more)...



And the contents... sigh, accidentally topple the whole tray and is now missing 1 of the bullet for the null-ray rifle...


Not the best of KO, but surely this is unacceptable... deformed afterburner... hahahahaha... sigh... anyway, not really bothered as it is seldom being seen... The long list of nitpicks: (1) Long back piece in robot mode (2) Gap between heel and cover make the figure easily flip back (3) head too tight to slide in/out when transforming (4) Nosecone cannot push in fully... *** For Nitpick (4), it might be the connector piece fitted wrongly (screw head should be on top); and has fixed it but forget to take pictures... Will put up a separate post for the fixing...


Also gotten the TR Brainstorm!!! Cannot wait for my local TRU... hahahaha... Costs about SGD44.05 ...


And also a loose TR Sixshot... Costs about SGD63.65 ... The joints for the knees and hips-sideways are loose, and as usual, superglue technique is used to tighten them... Loose version did not have the stickers applied, which is a good thing...

  1. What do you think of the Sixshot figure? It was at the top of my list, but hasn't appeared in the States yet. I bought a G1 original to keep me satisfied in the meantime.

    1. Overall is quite good, worth to get 1 in my opinion. In fact most of the modes are improved versions of the G1's. Of course, to nitpick, it could have better joints in terms of waist and fist rotation. But it is definitely a good figure.
