My very first Garage Kit Pinkies arrived, with some other Pinkies

Holiday is never good.

I ended up splurging on many more Pinkies.
And here are the catch, delivered straight from Japan using EMS.



Garage Kit:

• Pinky Fighting Vehicle Tiger 1 Kampfwagen VI Aust P


• Navy Chan


• Army Chan


• Jie Chan (normal)


• Jie Chan (sailor)


• Mari Chan (that one with anchor)

Normal Pinkies:

• Pinky Chara: Animate PC1003


• Pinky P003A (the old repaint)


• Pinky collaboration Alien Invasion PKA001

What I do not like is that they are suppose to arrive on Monday! However SpeedPost Singapore never take instruction written on the remark to call me before making deliveries, and they must always waste petrol making 2 failed delivery attempt on the same day, before slipping a failed delivery attempt notification under the door.

Moreover, when I reached home I immediately tried to give a re-delivery instruction to my office address (using speedpost website), but I failed, apparently I tried too soon. Only after I re-tried after 9 PM, then I can successfully give a re-delivery instruction. So un-user friendly. Why must it be so late, the item is already undelivered and I already has the notice! Sigh.

Pinky Tank, my version

I went to a toy fair and found a package of 1000-piece construction model toy, branded "best-lock construction toys", which "can be used with other brands" and it has been "registered in the U.S. Patent an Trademark office".

I have no question about the 1000 piece claim nor interested in counting it, but it is compatible with other brand, very obviously Lego. How true the last statement is really a big question.

For 1000 pieces it was originally priced at SGD $119.95, but I bought it at a discount in a toy fair for SGD $49.95. Needless to say, I end up with 2 boxes. Because I needed to spend a minimum of SGD $100 to get a SGD $15 discount, I end up buying another 3 same roadblock pieces because I think I can use the parts to make a house. Thus I end up paying SGD $94.90 for over 2000 pieces of Lego compatible bricks.

Here is the result of 2 nights playing with it. I was waiting too long for the Pinky Fighting Vehicle (pinky tank) released in Wonder Festival 2008 (Winter) so I created my own version.

Pinky Power Tank patrol rolling by and suddenly the crew heard a "click" sound.


"Who is that!?!" the alert commander asked, as she turned the turret and the missiles towards the direction of the sound.


Mama-mia, a paparazi at work! Drop that camera or we will shoot!

Isuzu Emi is finally mine

I want this one for quite a long time, and was eyeing others with envy.

Today I spot the whole series (pack of 3) of Tenjo Tenge Pinkies sold at China Square (a shopping mall in Singapore's Chinatown) and my heart stopped, for a while. I asked for the price and it was not that expensive. I do not have enough cash with me so I wonder around and waited for my figurakuen otaku to come. When Taesake came, I asked him about that since he know the local price much much better having been a Pinky collector much longer than me. He told me that he know the seller and helped me bargain. In the end I only need to pay $120 for it, and furthermore, another member, shiawasekun told me that he would not mind buying box 1 & 2 (Aya & Maya) since he actually own box 3 (Isuzu) and now has a chance to complete his collection.

LUCKY! Not only I now have Isuzu, I also do not have to bother looking for buyer for duplicate Aya & Maya.

This is the benefit of joining forces with fellow local otaku.

Here is a shot of Isuzu together with brownies and 2 scoop of ice-cream.
"Yum yum, forget the diet" said Isuzu. "Anyway I have a secret skill of keeping in shape" she added.
