Starwars I Like Outpost in SG!

Beside heading down to china town over the weekends, i also made a pit stop at IKEA for the second time with my room mates to get a few more stuff!

As i am waiting to get my collection started here, i decided to prepare some sleeves in my new room for my newly acquired figures in Singapore.

Whereby i got some great bookcase at very low prices, as seen below.

They each cost about SGD29.00 (model: Laiva Bookcase) and being IKEA they were fairly easy to put together!

But what's most important, i needed to start back my reviews!Which i got my new studio in-order.

I constantly have a fair bit of readers always writing in and asking how do i produce my picture, i will show you in my next few pictures:

1) The Base: i decide to get an VIKA CURRY TABLE table which cost a total of SGD 39.00 (SGD 19 table top and SGD 5 each for the legs)

2) Spot Lamps: Tertial & Work SGD 14.90 each! Its freaking cheap! and SUPER flexible.

3) The Bulb: i am using a 14w Philips Cool Day Light Bulb, which carries a white and blue coloring.
Nearly There... Here's one which was installed!

I Personally feel that one is not enough,i think the best is get 3 lamps which really offers great light coverage.

Its Completed! here's how the studio looks after its completed, you could add a background to have the focus more on the object.

Unfortunately i didn't bring any SW figures with me, so i had to use the Cobra Trooper for the Object.

Here are some sample pictures:

Picture 1: Slightly dimmer take (both light are position above the subject) and camera focus is on the weapon:

Picture 2: One lamp face the figure and another directly above it. i didn't set the camera correctly so the blue color has a higher output.


Well that's that,and i hope this helps!

i have made some a arrange for new arrival to reach me here in Singapore, so hopefully we would be seeing a few new characters.

Toyshop I Like: CHINA SQUARE CENTRAL (SG)

Hey Guys!

Its my Second week in Singapore! and there are still so much that i haven seen...

It was Sunday, so i decided to head down to China Town, to do some Shopping at the Famous CHINA SQUARE CENTRAL, whereby on Sunday they have a lot of part time toy vendors which open their stores at the flea market and the 1st & 2nd floor are filled with Toyshops,SWEET!

Here the picture of the Complex:

Here a look at the second floor of the complex and as you can see vendors stores below, which all sell toys!!!

i actually secretly snap this pictures, as Store Keepers in Singapore do not like people to take pictures of their stores as they find it very rude...

Even if i ask, they still refuse... however i still went ahead and snap this picture, as i had to show you guys:


There is no doubt that there were many stores, however in-terms of Starwars content the selection wasn't great, there just weren't that many special figures (Latest Figure) that i Hope for...that's just what i think.

There was actually a lot of 12inch figures (slide show & medicom) and transformers if your into those toys.

At the end of the tour/trip, i ended up buying a few 25th anniversary Cobra Troopers and i even scored a HISS TANK, as shown below>

After that i decided to drop by a TRU store at Orchard and the selection there wasn't any better, as seen below:
China Square Central is still a place that is worth the visit, never have i seen so many toy stores & part time flea market vendors, group in one area.And they really have alot of toys that would make you go, "Eh...I used to have that as a kid"

Sorry i couldn't show you more pictures.... will try to befriend a few shops there to try to get them, to let me snap a few more pictures of their shops!

Till Next Time! Keep Collecting!
