Terminator 2: T800 more pictures

seems to be what we'd be getting for this MMS release by hot toys.

Hot Toys' Next MMS: Terminator 2 T800 Arnold!!!

When he said he'd be back, he sure as hell is BACK. that aside, he's gonna feature an endo arm like the film where he peeled off his organic flesh from his arm.

A-W-E-S-O-M-E.

Force Unleashed 2 & Batman Arkham Asylum Sequel

Yes, as if movie titles such as Clash of the Titans, Toy Story 3, Prince of Persia isn't enough, we've got announcements in the Video Games department, namely Force Unleashed 2 and a Batman Arkam Asylum sequel whose project name has yet to be announced.

Pure AWESOMENESS

whilst not entirely unexpected considering the success its predecessors had garnered, i'm rather interested in Star Wars: Force Unleashed 2's storyline as i'm wondering how they're gonna bring Galen Marek/secret apprentice back to life. And yes, here're the whooping awesome trailers below.

Just the Voice Over with Yoda and Vader combined to contrast the DARKLIGHT side, just gives me the nerdgasms.








we're jam packed for one HELLUVA year in 2010 with epic movies, epic game sequels and events too! (in the music department) with more bands flooding into singapore for concerts.

Toy Story Official Trailer

Cue in the familiar soundtrack ''You've Got a Friend in Me'' by Randy Newman, and it sure can strike a chord and bring back fond memories from so long ago.



Everybody's favourite Spaceman and Cowboy are back! Apart from Jim Varney, the original voice of Slinky, who passed away from lung cancer, the rest of the original cast will be reprising their roles. This could possibly be the biggest movie for 2010!

With the anticipation of this long awaited sequel, a decade since the last, I can hardly wait for the toy line for this movie to hit stores!!! The sheer magnitude of reliving childhood days of 95' when the first movie came around would be something to behold.

Those repulsor boots have light-up function this time around! as is the chestpiece!


Stark's lookin' rather sharp i must say, whilst the resemblence is closer than previous iterations, something about the eyes just dont' hit it all 100% yet. but by far is the best we've seen!!!









The one we've been waiting for, for so long, i'm so gonna put this on the to-get list.


















Oh, if you hadn't realised, he comes with a backdrop of the workshop from the film,



And ''Dummy'' the fire safety/mechanical robot tony invented, is included too!!!

Hot Toys' Next Project ( Tony Stark Sneak Pictures )

This is the one figure many if not MOST collectors have been speculating about ever since Hot Toys released a youtube videofeed of their offices and some snippets of it featured one of their artists working on what seemed to look like Tony Stark from IRON MAN, with the prototype parts of the repulsor engines and such ( shown below )

Well, i can say for certain that we will most likely be seeing it announced sometime soon, and by golly, i'd be glad to have a spot on Robert Downey Junior headsculpt! Despite what most may have said, i still feel strongly that the first sculpt of Tony was a tad generic and missed the essential features of RDJ.

I'd wait and see for this upcoming release!

Gadget UPGRADES! Nikon D5000

As of late i've been fiddling with my new gadget for the past month, namely the Nikon D5000, got an additional lens for it to help supplement my use with the stock lens.

had been picking up tips and tricks from fellow friends who also owned DSLRs' too, and now i'm blown away to a whole new level of photography where i could finally adjust my ISO settings specifically, the exposure and whatnots.

A sample shot with my DSLR. Kudos to those who figure where this picture was taken. or what it is to begin with. =D Drop your answers in the comments section!

Many thanks to Paul Shi once again for his patience and expertise on DSLRs'

=====================

Meanwhile i've gotten started on my Stormtrooper Armor Project which was delayed for a month due to some complications with replacement parts, as some pieces were pretty banged up during shipping and some pre-cut sections were not up to standard. (Trust is a fragile concept on Ebay).

Aside from that minor speed bump, i've managed to find alternatives to those problems and am pretty glad to say that i've completed almost 40 percent of the armor in one day, Kudos to Mr. Kwoh, whose help sped up the process and with whom i couldn't do without.

Pictures of the process as well as detailed shots with my new DSLR will be coming right up!!! However in the meanwhile i'd be looking for ABS CEMENT as some of the hot glue i used isn't exactly durable and i might be stripping down some sections and rebonding it with ABS cement.

Now does anyone know where to find ABS CEMENT? I've tried local hardward stores from d.i.y to homefix to shophouses to no avail. any information would be appreciated!
