The extracts show that it will shape up to be a bloody good read and I'm personally loving the Sgt Pepper-ish cover montage.

60/09 Promotional items from adidas Originals Singapore stores in 2009.

Cool shots of Hot Toys 1:6 Batmobile in this video clip.

Desmond dropped by last Friday and here's what he had to say.



Good chatting with you bro, sorry you had to make a long journey back to the west.

Thanks to my Guru for the headsup on this item.



Being an adidas fan, I'm quite game for this, but I hope they don't get a C&D before this hits the market.



It would have been perfect for me if the adidas Originals logo, rather than the Performance one that is used on all the items, but this may be as good as it gets. Also wish the black cargo pants was changed to a 3-striped track pants. Would be much cooler.









Hope this set turns out good.

I've other 1:6 licensed adidas items, which include...

1:6 adidas X Kobe Bryant


1:6 adidas Superstar

Fairly large vehicles seem to be a trend in my collection these days. Hopefully this rounds up my spate of recent acquisitions. Learn more about the Imperial Shuttle on Wookiepedia.







Here's the shuttle with its wings fully extended.





It's currently docked in between my Millenium Falcon & Dendrobium.

According to the official site...

"The Reds today announced they have secured the biggest sponsorship deal in their history, with Standard Chartered set to appear on Liverpool shirts for four years from the start of the 2010-11 campaign."

While more money in the bank (hopefully not solely the owner's pockets) is always good, their logo is going to look quite dodgy on LFC's shirts.



I hope they have alternate corporate colours or are ok with using white.



Here's G&T getting friendly with their new sponsor. Would love to score that black adidas tee.



On the other hand, I'm happy that my LFC supporting Muslim friends no longer need to pay extra to remove the sponsor's logo from their shirts, or pay much more for the player issued shirts.

I only have two shirts from our previous sponsors before Carlsberg.
