Kidrobot for Swatch watch

I initially didn't know whether to post this here or at my other (more personal) blog, but since there's a toy involved, I decided to put it here to stay true to the whole "toys and figures" thing haha.

Boyfriend bought me another Christmas present: a KidrobotXSwatch watch that I've been eying for quite some time now. I didn't buy it because I just received a new Swatch for my birthday this year.

Happy happy~

Inside the plastic box~

There are 8 designs in this series. The one that I got is called Love Song by Tilt, a French graffiti artist. Each one comes with its own Dunny that has the same design as the watch.

Side-by-side

DUNNY. Really colorful Dunny.

The Dunny isn't made of vinyl as I expected it to be though. It's made of plastic, seamlines and all. Quite light too. The paint job is decent, however, so it's a plus point.

Here are a few other pictures of the watch (along with my Strawberry Switchblade):

Jack of Fables: Complete!

Was finally able to complete the rest of Jack of Fables TPBs.

Got the following yesterday:






And the latest Kikomachine book:


Thinking what to buy next. All the books above can be read in one day, so I find myself needing more books. I might buy Greek Street later, all 3 volumes and hopefully, Fables Vol. 16 is available too.

Why must it take so long, Peter Jackson?

Otakai Christmas Party and other hauls

Without finding anything else to buy at the Toy Fair (and Megamall in general), me and the boyfriend decided to go to Greenhills. Otakai's Christmas party was scheduled at 7PM in GH, so we decided to kill some time by doing some usual rounds. Kamadoma (an Otakai member) was with us -- met him as we were going back to the Toy Fair to get some exchange gift items and some prize solicitations from uchihaitachix (another Otakai member who has a booth at the fair).

Without further ado, the Greenhills rounds hauls:

 
Playskool and Hallmark Han Solos

 
Umbrella Academy Volumes 1 and 2 
Zoro from Wasabi Toys
 
1/4 scaled Han Solo from DST FINALLY! 


Size comparison with the 3.75" Han Solo

That last one there was a blow and it took me less than 5 minutes to go back to Maxicollector and purchase the humongous Han. Cannot resist. Really.
Then it was time for the Christmas party. My name was picked for the raffle and I got this:

My very first Figma! (The one beside it is the fig the boyfriend got for the exchange gifts)

The party was a blast! Food always tastes better if you eat it with good company :)

Anyway, I forgot to post these hauls from last week:
