Takara - World Smallest Transformers Series II - Optimus Prime

Saturday, March 28, 2009 0 comments
This is the World Smallest Transformers range from Takara and certified by the World Guinness Record. As you noticed, I mentioned only the name Takara and not the usual TakaraTomy. Wanna guess ? Well back then Takara was still an individual company before it take over Tomy around March 2006. After the merging they are now one of the largest toys company in Japan only to be shadowed by Bandai.

This was sold in Chong Hock Music Center back then around 2004. Each costing only $15.90. Now as you can see, price for this stuff had sky rocketed at eBay and other collectors section.

For the next few days, I will feature all the Transformers I had collected for this ranges. Todays featuring will be Optimus Prime.

The Series II collections with secret

Prowl, Sideswipe, Thrust

Optimus Prime, Megatron, Jazz

" Autobots Roll out "

Optimus Prime with weapon and leaflet



Comparing the size with our BND 10cents

Yes, its transformable too!


Asking price for Optimus Prime in eBay is about BND60-70


What have we got here ? White Optimus ? No, its ULTRA Magnus! one of the hidden secret character of Series II collection

Side by side comparison


" Did you know eBay asking price for my character now is over BND$150!!! " said Ultra Magnus







next preview.....Megatron !

OK, this is something not link to my hobby collection but it is something that caught my attention when I was shopping at a local supermarket recently with my wife. Check out the cool color of its packaging and all those japanese words that I don't even understand ! The manufacturer is called Namata and apparently they are licensed to produced these delicious food in Thailand. You guys got to try the green one, best of the best almong the three.

That little Optimus Prime is one of my favorite Transformer collection. It is from maker Takara who makes ChoroQ, this one is one of their discontinued Transformer ChoroQ Optimus Prime, cost about $20 from Japan.







p.s my first Transformers post !!!

Advan Super Racing Ver.2 Wheels in 1:1 & 1:24 scale

Tuesday, March 24, 2009 0 comments
This is a collection of a set of 1:24 wheels from Aoshima. The maker of the actual wheel is from ADVAN and this particular model is called Super Racing Ver.2. Reason to show this to you guys is because I actually own 1 set of the real rims. And it is nice to see hobby maker made a 1:24 scale of it. I decided to grab one and keep it for collection sake. Colors are different though, mine actual wheels were sprayed in Gun Metal Grey whereas the Aoshima 1:24 is Racing Red in colors. I will probably spray it to match my wheels colors soon.

One of the reason I bought it is because of the nicely printed box

Instructions and details

Wheels, tyres and decals

Look at the realism compare to the actual 1:1 wheels
