G-5600E-1JF releaed in June.

A new Tough Solar G-5600E-1JF released in Japan lately. This time the red line is gone and the display is adopted the classic model from 1987 with simple colour scheme. This might be released as export model in Asia market since it is not a multiband model. This could be my first Tough Solar 5600 :)

GW-6900BC-1JF

AVP2 Face Hugger in the house!!

Finally I got one of the item from my wish list, the AVP2 Face Hugger real Figure. I recall first saw of this cool stuff in a hobby shop more than a decade ago. It was a 1:1 scale g-kit plastic model without colour. In addition, the price tag was a killer at that time and now I can have it in reasonable price. Furthermore this is a painted ATBC-PVC figure. BRAVO!! Here are some of the pix I took by my cellphone...enjoy!
