…for this!  AKB48 is Japan’s leading girl idol group and they are here to perform their latest songs, play games with their fans, and provide autographed copies of their latest albums.  It’s indeed worth it for their fans to queue up for this opportune moment to get up close and personal with their favourite stars!

These Masters of the Universe Classics (MOTUC) Orko and Prince Adam action figures from Mattel are my toy hauls from the Sunday toy market at China Square Central today!  They are still MOC and I shall blog more about them once I removed them from their joint packaging, perhaps sometime this week.  Happy toys collecting!

MOTUC She-Ra Princess of Power action figure continued

Following yesterday’s posting of the same topic, here’s my Masters of the Universe Classics (MOTUC) She-Ra action figure out of package:

MOTUC She-Ra Princess of Power action figure.

“For the honor of Grayskull!”

“I am She-Raaaa!!”

The Princess of Power……

MOTUC She-Ra Princess of Power action figure.

……and the leader of the Great Rebellion!

The above photos show She-Ra wearing her Filmation style crown, that is molded to her face.  This is what many She-Ra fans will remember her as, from watching the 80’s She-Ra cartoon series produced by Filmation for Mattel.

Here are some more shots of her in my toy photo studio:

MOTUC She-Ra Princess of Power action figure.

The same action figure comes with another head.  This is She-Ra wearing her classic shimmering mask, as depicted in the 80’s comics and story books.

MOTUC She-Ra Princess of Power action figure.

The mask can be worn the other way around her face as well.  The gold battle axe design is a special homage to the classic comb that came with the 80’s She-Ra dolls.  The same for the gold shield with the jewel design.

One final look at the Princess of Power herself.  She’s so gorgeous, both in her classic and Filmation style heads!  No regrets from me in getting her!  She will be strongly contending for my annual ““My Most Favourite Toy of the Year” award for 2010.  The results will be known at the end of December 2010.  Till then, happy toys collecting!

MOTUC She-Ra Princess of Power action figure!

Yay, the 2010 Masters of the Universe Classics (MOTUC) toyline She-Ra action figure has joined my collection at last!  I picked her up from one of the many MOTUC toy sellers in China Square Central (CSC) today and here she is, the Princess of Power herself!

She-Ra’s currently still in package and I plan to keep her that way for a while before deciding to have her break out of it some day.  Meanwhile if you are keen to see the detailed sculpting, articulation, features and accessories of this figure, her toy review is available online now:

“For the honor of Grayskull! …….I am She-Raaaa!!”

Despite the functional and sculpting flaws of this figure, I can live with them, after all She-Ra fans like me have waited for more than 20 years for a Filmation style She-Ra action figure!  When I do pop in the Filmation style head (the second one seen at the bottom of the package), I’ll probably just leave that head on her permanantly.  I’m so happy today, hurray!
