First featured here, I was quite pleased to score this figure, cos of it's awesome headsculpt.

Yet more free items, courtesy of Weston, who gave these away with every World Cup shirt purchased.

My team is in a mess these days, but it was nice to get this as a gift.

Pretty useless promotional items at the time of posting, but anything free is always cool.







For these promotional items, you need to purchase S$150 worth of Puma items. I obtained mine by acquiring the Italy Home and Away shirts. Only Ghana and Uruguay are flying the Puma flag in the last 16.





Hopefully they'll see some light of day during the Euro 2012 qualifiers.

Earlier mentioned in this post, here's a quick look at Argentina's pack.

Earlier seen in this post, here's more pix of Spain adidas 10/12 Home Baby's Kit.

Thanks to Wife for the awesome iMac!

Spain and Germany adidas 10/12 Home Kit Youth size for Wife, Spain adidas 10/12 Home Kit for Kaelen.

I picked Spain cos Kaelen doesn't wear light colours well, i.e., he pukes and drools randomly, which means trouble for me cos I hand wash every football shirt.

These sets caught my eye way back when they were announced in December 2009. Made my move to score them when I was offered quite an amazing price for both sets.

Hot Toys is proud to present the 1/6th scale Abigail Whistler Limited Edition Collectible Figurine from the Blade: Trinity movie. The movie-accurate Abigail Whistler collectible is specially crafted based on the image of Jessica Biel in the movie, highlighting the newly sculpted head, multi-layered stereoscopic hair sculpture, highly-detailed costume and weapons.

Dear Son,

In the year Dad was born, the greatest Star Wars movie was released, Liverpool FC won the league and John Lennon died.

The year you were born in happens to be a World Cup year. While Dad has addressed the events that happened in his year of birth by collecting related memorabilia, he deemed it fit to collect World Cup 2010 replica football shirts to commemorate the year of your birth.

In time to come these will be yours, and Dad hopes football will be one of the things we have in common, as father and son.

I was quite excited about visiting Football Fever! at Singapore Philatelic Museum ever since I heard they were going to curate it.

With a history dating back to 1930, the FIFA World Cup has become a shining example of how a sporting event can become an inspiration for millions of people globally. Celebrating the heritage of this year’s South African event, the first ever on African soil, adidas presents a truly unique series of packs that will appeal to football fans, adidas enthusiasts, collectors and memorabilia fiends alike. There are 5 country packs in total, namely, Argentina, France, Germany, Mexico and Spain, while for the first time ever a jointly packaged project featuring offerings from both the Performance and Originals departments at adidas is made publicly available. Beautifully packaged, each box set contains two jerseys containing the team jersey that will be worn at this year’s tournament and a historical version from great moments in the competitions past. The boxes themselves feature incredible attention to detail with hidden magnets to secure them together and built in display cases.

A tribute to the West Germany adidas 1990 Home Kit, this shirt seems to be moving quite fast, with limited quantities and sizes at sports retailers round the island.

I didn't bother to read too much about the background of this figure. It's supposed to be a concept or rather Hot Toys' interpretation of HR Giger's creation. I scored it cos I felt I needed at least one Hot Toys Alien figure in my collection. So I settled on this fellow.

Scored this from Hasbro's 2 figures for S$25 promo.
