Tomorrow will mark the start of the Chinese New Year of the Dragon, and what better way for Hasbro to cash in on the fans’ excitement by releasing a Transformers Dark of the Moon (DOTM) Ultimate Optimus Prime toy that is adorned with images of the Chinese Dragon on it!

It’s selling now at a discounted price at Singapore Toys ‘R’ Us (TRU) at SGD 139.90 (usual price at SGD 169.90).  Take a look at the multiple detailed photos of this toy in the video review above and see if this toy is to your liking.

For me I’m not keen on getting this limited edition of Optimus Prime, but for the completist DOTM toy collectors, this may be for you.  And with this, I wish everyone who celebrate Chinese New Year, a Happy and Prosperous Dragon New Year!!  Huat Ah!!!

I thought I had posted the toy review of Transformers Dark of the Moon (DOTM) Human Alliance (HA) Soundwave on my blog but it looks like I haven’t, despite the toy being available in local retail stores for over a month already.  Hence here is the toy video review:

DOTM HA Soundwave toy review (rather long but detailed review here)

Selling at SGD 39.90 each at TRU & local departmental stores here, but very hard to find.  If you are still at it, happy DOTM toys collecting to you!

Merry MLP toys shopping!

As the popularity of the My Little Pony (MLP) Friendship is Magic (FiM) cartoon series takes root in Singapore, the basic single pack pony toys of the Mane six pony characters become harder to find in the local departmental stores.

Hence, the next alternatives would be getting the larger toy sets that contain the Mane six characters, such as Fluttershy here.  This is a nice gift set to consider for a child or MLP FiM fan this Christmas:

G4 My Little Pony Twilight Sparkle’s Twinking Balloon - SGD 39.90

Available for sale at major departmental stores in Singapore.

Twilight Sparkle’s Twinking Balloon toy video review

I have this set and I really like its changing colored lights and music features, and not to mention I get a basic Twilight Sparkle and a Spike figure from it.

Some of these Twinkling Balloon sets come with yellow frills between the balloon and basket sections while others have pink frills.  I chose the yellow frill for mine cos I feel yellow looks more cartoon accurate.

Merry toy shopping!
