my scattered toys

I'm not sure why, but my henkei Bumblebee seems to always find himself stowed away in my backpack when I manage to travel somewhere. This one was when I went to the Philippines for a friend's wedding. It was in a resort-like place with a beach and a swimming pool. So, while I was away doing random wedding-y things, Bee woke up, and decided to do his usual waking up things. Even in unfamiliar surroundings. But since it was quite the walk to get there, he waited until I got back and hitched a ride in my pouch. I guess he really likes riding in my bags? I dunno. The wedding color theme was yellow. Someone thought that maybe Bee might've been part of the bridal entourage. He managed to escape bridal duties, but being bright and yellow and most importantly, being a TOY kind of attracted one of the kids in attendance. Poor bee. It took a little while before the kid finally found something else more interesting. Bee probably got sand in all sorts of different parts...

This is the 13th comic from my old comic series, My Toys are Alive ! All that candy can’t be good for Grimlock! But maybe it isn’t bad, either. This comic was made and posted originally a few days after Christmas 2011, hence the tiny Christmas trees and the candy. Grimlock is always looking for candy in my apartment and usually just takes a tiny nibble or so before Prowl or someone else stops him, but this time he gets to consume an entire overflowing jar. But is there something special in that jar of candy? Why is it labeled ‘Do not eat!’? Hmm! Hope you enjoyed the comic! --- Post-comic notes: Hasbro Masterpiece Grimlock was gifted to me by a very good friend during my birthday in 2010. He is a huge Grimlock fan, and the only Transformers toys he collects are anything Grimlock-related. I can’t exactly remember when it was, but for sometime he wasn’t having any luck finding a Titanium War Within Grimlock, and I got it for him on his birthday. He often asked me why I wouldn’t bu...

On my second viewing of The Dark Knight Rises (awesome movie, by the way!), the cinema was selling a popcorn and soda combo that came with a projector pen. Yes, I am well aware that cinema popcorn is highway robbery in disguise. But I like my movie munchies, so there. :P Anyway, about that projector pen -- I thought it would just be a random pen with a flashlight on one end, and the writing tip on the either, except that since this is a TDKR promo, it would have a Batman logo on the side. When I got home and tried the flashlight out, it projected a Dark Knight Rises Bat logo! Freaking awesome! I now have a personal mini bat signal. :D Woot! Batman and Robin were more than willing to pose with the new toy. Here’s Batman with a solo, err, trio shot of bats. Even Catwoman wanted in on the action. Something about black also being her color, and loving shadows and being adaptable. Yeah, something like that. She actually wanted her close-up picture featured instead, but she was in a...

This is the 12th comic from my old comic series, My Toys are Alive ! I love the Transformers Device Label series – real gadgets that look and transform into a Transformers counterpart. This comic features Device Label Broadblast (aka Blaster), as well as World’s Smallest Transformers Blaster. And here, we see a little bit of what maintaining the long distance relationship between Optimus Prime and Elita-1 is like. If you’re interested in seeing a few more pictures of Device Label Broad Blast, check out our small album of pics in our Facebook page , with special guest appearance from Device Label Ravage! :D

This is the 11th comic from my old comic series, My Toys are Alive ! Bumblebee ended up traveling with me when I went on a short trip overseas. He was happy to stay in the hotel though.

So I may or may not have watched The Avengers movie at the cinemas about 8 times in total. Of course, I had to take them home! They have yet to meet the rest of the gang in the apartment but they saw my wallpaper on the computer and wanted their pictures taken with their likenesses. I wonder how they’ll fit in with the rest of the minifig crew? Anyway, here they are. First up, Ironman, who quite possibly has the most dramatic pose of the bunch: Now for Black Widow. She doesn’t come with pistols of her own but we found some for her to use from my little minifig parts box. I was kind of hoping her hair would be shorter and redder. Look, it’s the Captain! And here’s Hawkeye. I kind of wished they made a minifig accessory for his quiver. You don’t see it in the picture, but it’s just painted onto his back. A nice touch but an accessory quiver would have been heaps cooler. The Hulk doesn’t suit up. And here’s Thor. Lastly, it’s the villain guy Loki! I really really really e...

This is the 10th comic from my old comic series, My Toys are Alive ! The Autobots are always looking for an excuse to party, and since the apartment-dweller usually celebrates in some way during the christmas day itself, they postpone their merrymaking to after the holiday. They do not compromise on their enjoyment, though! And of course, the Decepticons get jealous. Note: This comic was originally released post-Christmas holiday period! Don’t worry, we aren’t into the habit of making Christmas-topic thingos in the middle of the year. O.o Enjoy!
