Fortress of Testicular Fortitude

This better be the ultimate Bats ever.

I hope this pair of kicks are able replacements for my pair of Nike Air Force 1 black/black which expired after one year of abuse.



































I've other adidas Superstars in different scales.



1:1 adidas Originals Superstar II white/black


adidas Originals Superstar Mini Museum Collection


1:6 adidas Originals Superstar white/black


Goodbye to my dearly departed black/black Air Force 1s.

Here's a closer look at Liverpool FC's 2009/10 away kit.

















The 08/09 UEFA Champions League training tee had a similar colourway.



The 09/10 away kit is the second black shirt used in the adidas era, with the first being the 07/08 Euro Away Kit.



Reebok produced the first black kit in Liverpool FC's history in the 2002/03 season.

Prior to this, I've owned Black/Black and White/Black Air Force 1s, but nothing beats the classic White/White colourway. Scored this for half price at Royal Sporting House at Suntec City.





























Here's pix of my other pairs of Nike Air Force 1s.

Thanks to Henry for pointing out the availability of this item to me. Desmond has reviewed this set earlier. Here's my photos.



K-Toys is, at the point of writing, a previously unheard of company from China. They were probably shooting for this look with the maroon shirt.



Thanks to Henry's directions, I scored this from a shop at In's Point for HKD250. The set comes in a plastic package, similar to Saturday Toys' and this card.





I didn't use the shoes that came with the set, as the shoes that's meant for a True Type ankle joint doesn't fit as the groove isn't carved out enough.





I think the jacket is oversized and the pants are quite tight a fit.















They've included studs on the tie and shiny buttons on the shirt. Nice touch but I would have preferred better fitted tailoring.













It's the same price as Hot Toys' Men's Suit, about S$10 less than Saturday Toys' suit, that comes with a body. It doesn't have much in the way of value for money and could have been tailored and manufactured better.



Here's pix of 1:6 Tony Stark Kitbash with Hot Toys Men's Suit...



... and pix of Iron Man Mark II & Mark III.





Here's pix of other 1:6 suits.

Originally inspired by adidas's collaboration with Vespa, this kitbash ended up as a multiple brand showcase.

Specifically, of 1:6 Polo Ralph Lauren T-shirt, Hot Toys Camera, Saturday Toys jeans, adidas Superstar white/black and New-Ray Vespa.

Sideshow's Stormtrooper is sporting adidas Originals Mini Museum Collection white/black Superstars.

Global streetwear icon, adidas Originals is proud to announce a unique collaboration with one of the world's best known and loved brand marks: Star Wars. This stellar Spring/Summer 2010 collection fuses iconic Star Wars characters and scenes with classic adidas Originals footwear and apparel silhouettes.

Expect to see Darth Vader and stormtrooper graphics on select iconic Originals styles. Other key Star Wars characters and memorable moments from the films will also be represented in innovative, cool ways.

The Spring/Summer Star Wars collection will be introduced at retail beginning January, 2010. Select retailers, as well as adidas Originals Stores worldwide will carry the collection. The collaboration will also contain a Fall/Winter 2010 line as well with new characters on different select footwear and apparel.

I previously seen the Darth Vader Superstar but I am not sure if it was ever released.



The classic white/black Superstar colourway is an obvious choice for a Stormtrooper version.



Heh, adidas could well go all variant mad on us and come up with Utapau, Shock, 501st, etc, colourways.

Hot Toys is proud to bring you the latest T600 figure from the Terminator Salvation movie, this early Terminator Infiltrator stands approximately 35 cm / 14 inches high, and true to 1/6th scale.

The easy recognized and weathered T-600 also features:

• Over 25 points of articulations


• Removable and simplistic rubber mask, non-removable gloved hands and boots


• Tattered clothing to hide its endoskeleton


• Eye light up function (cell button battery operated- battery included)


• Accessories includes Grenade Launcher, Gatling Gun and Ammo Pack with harness


• Environmental and skulls featured display base

I've had this 1:6 Vespa by New-Ray for quite a while, but never took as many pix of it as I would have liked, so here goes.

I like the Vespa's design, and it would be my two-wheeler of choice, if I had a motorcycle licence.























I like the details on this model, which is an officially licensed Vespa product. The body frame is made of die cast, which gives it a solid feel.

It's a very cool model and best of all, it fits 1:6 figures.
