henkei ghost starscream is mine!

who says ghosts are scary?


my goodness its been a month since i last blogged. after exam season was over i was on year end leave, which means had to rely on poor internet connection hindered any attempt to update the blog. anyway now that i've started working again hopefully i can blog as usual.
`
think its not too late to wish everybody happy new year 2010. may all out dreams, hopes & wishes for 2010 come true & all things well. as a start i wanted to blog about the kabaya candy toy that i got recently but forgot a few photos, so that will have to wait...as a substitute i'll annouce this : henkei ghost starscream is mine! finally after a long wait he's in my grasp...or kinda. i got him last sunday from chupa, a fellow forum member of sembangtoys, a forum for local toy collectors. the price was reasonable & cheaper than other sellers that i know.
`
unfortunately its still misb as i decided to open (along with other misb) when the toy rack is available, which i hope will be around this year. so there's only 1 photo here. but not to worry as i've posted pictures of the figure in my previous posting, so head there to see ghost ss in action if you haven't seen him already...

henkei ghost starscream

been busy lately, final exams coming up next monday & 17/12...so i guess blogging will have to wait. as a short entry latest photos of the upcoming henkei ghost starscream is available at tfw2005 (click me & me to read more). as a note the figure is only available by pre-order using the form attached in the transformers generations 2009 volume 2 magazine...the other way is to order from any hobby shop takes offers the pre-order. the figures looks very nice & exciting. glad i placed a pre-order for it early this year...hopefully the price won't be that expensive.

ehobby d-22 black starscream

at last black starscream



released in 2001, hard to find these days


today i'm gonna blog about another rare & exclusive piece that i managed to acquire that will stay misb - the ehobby d-22 black starscream. this figure was released in 2001 together with ghost starscream, the transparent version of the figure. being a starscream figure as well as an ehobby exclusive made this item highly sought after by fans especially g1 fans. the downside is its high price and limited availability.

robot mode & face closeup



f-15 fighter...nice


i was fortunate enough to get hold of one at half the current market price. because mine will stay put in its box i'll use photos taken from tfu info (click me to go to the site)
`
parts that needs assembling - hands, launcher, rockets & null ray cannons



more parts - wings, vertical tailfins, landing gear & horizontal tailfins



there's not much difference between this figure and the normal figure other than the repaint. the colour scheme is loosely based on the 1997 machine wars starscream which was also black except for the addition of gold colour. articulations is still limited to the shoulders and you still need to piece together the parts aside from simple transformation to form the robot or the f-15 fighter. basically its a normal diaclone based g1 starscream in black and gold.
`
i don't intend to get the clear version of this figure because i have something more interesting in mind...but that's another story
