Keroro-Pla Musha

My addiction towards Kerorro started with the God Keron, and slowly, but sure, I started to collect this gundam-ish toy. Not really robot per say, but it works the similar way, I mean, the way to build/construct this thing.

With the latest addition of Giroro and Dororo that I bought from Yadobashi - Japan, I got this line up:

Oh yea before continuing to the main topic, I'd like to post the non musha lines first :D




The Musha-line is actually good one, kinda resemble those old Japanese warrior thing. The first one is Keroro himself, Musha Keroro - resembles a mushashi or something samurai-ish. Notice how this line can be 'transformed'. Oh yea, Keroro's armor and Tamama's armor is swappable.




The next one is Ashigaruhei Tamama. It's more to a peasant for me.



The next one is Kururu Yabui, doctor/surgeon/barber Kururu.



The next one is Giroro Rounin, this is the outcast.



The last one is Dororo Touryou, ninja-ish thing.



The next ones are the Musha Keroro Robo lines, it's quite good from what I saw/heard. Can't wait for placing my hands on them. Full Story

Random Toys

I went to Japan from 21st June - 1st July, and got some random stuff for display. Toys are much cheaper there, especially I able to manage to get some used goods - oh well I don't mind.

I bought the mai hime dvd and Arika figure for less than 2000 yen each. The next ones I bought were 2 boxes of Keroro pla model kit and 2 boxes of pokemon karakuri castle set. The other thing I bought was Miyu - blue suit.

Oh yea I bought this thing as a gift, the shinkansen N700 series - origami, I couldn't really make/fold it well *sigh*.



During my random shopping to Comics Connection (not in Japan obviously), I managed to find and buy these :D. They're supposed to be sold out everywhere, so no harm in buying for 'stocks'



During the takashimaya toy fair, I bought the Megaman toys series (featuring Megaman Battle Exe and Megaman X 8), quite cheap, and also another 2 Gash card/book game thingy.

Gyouten Gattai! Keroro Base

仰天合体！ケロロベース (Gyouten Gattai! Keroro Base - literally translate to 'amazing combiner') is another combiner which I bought recently, although it's kinda expensive because it's rare and I had to order it from online auction. Well, by now I have a lot of combiners. Lets categorized them then. Lets see.. I have those that can serve as playable track, base, and robots. So, I'll name them track combiner, base combiner and robot combiner, is it good so far? ^^

Back to topic, I've ordered a base combiner lately, and actually it was shipped - delivered to my house earlier, but I didn't received the message, so I actually took the item myself on the last day. Lucky me. If it's not taken by that time, the items would be returned to the seller. I was actually quite angry since I was overseas, thus the post office should not act like that - even though it's their policies *sigh*. Anyway, I still got my item in the end, so nobody's hurt ^^.

This is the pic when they're combined together

The first piece is Keroro & A parts



This is actually the 'backbone' & head cover piece, which serves as a lift. When it stands by itself it becomes a lift as shown from the picture. When combined, it also still becomes a lift from the main control room to the weird robot thing.



The second piece is Giroro & B parts



This is the left ear of the giant keroro base which serves as Giroro's control room, also furnished with the red tent.



The third piece is Tamama & C parts



This is the body piece which stores the robot thingy.



The fourth piece is Kururu & D parts



This is the right ear of the giant keroro base which serves as Kururu's control room, also furnished with the 'robot' I've been talking about.



The last piece is Dororo & E parts



This piece cover the most thing, head, arms and legs. By itself, it serves as the 'base'.



And this is the final look of the giant keroro base when they're combined together.



Overall, this is a really neat toy which is fun to play with! Full Story

New Camera - Olympus 1030

Oh well... I bought a new camera. Why did I buy it? It's still confusing me as well. Anyway this camera is supposed to be crush proof, shock proof, freeze proof, water proof, etc. So I should not be worried of scratches, or drop it from up to 2m, or bring it underwater.

One Piece - Thousand Sunny

I don't watch one piece, perhaps one of the main reason is that I don't like the character design, so I decided not to follow this series.

However, since I love combiners a lot, and this series decided to release such toys, I also decided to buy one. It's quite nice, quite detailed and complete, and perhaps the fans will know how much detailed the toy is.

There are 5 pieces of the trading figures to combine into one pirate ship called Thousand Sunny.



Piece 1 (Luffy) : The figurehead can open to reveal the Gaon cannon, and a button can be pressed to launch it. The mane can rotate (but not according to wheel).




Piece 2 (Chopper) : The infirmary, got Miny Merry II figure, which can be played as sliding figure.



Piece 3 （Zoro & Sanji) : The deck, got crow nest, the flags, and is it restaurant?




Piece 4 (Franky & Usopp) : The soldier dock system -> 6 compartments, with Shiro Mokuba I and Submerge Shark III. Completed with Franky's weapon development room and Usopp's factory.



Piece 5 (Nami & Robin) : The aquarium bar and bathhouse.



And the complete Thousand Sunny :
