Highlights of the episode for me
Seeing Unicorn transform again (3 times!), more than justifies me scoring both versions of GFFMC Unicorn.
Delta Plus!
Unicorn taking control of Kshatriya funnels and turning them against Marida.
Newtype intercourse!

I put this together using Enterbay's BL 2.5 body, custom head and costume purchased from various shops at China Square Central.
This bash is good enough as an economical substitute for a GOD Bruce Lee figure for me. Here's the figure with an Onitsuka Tiger Mexico 66 yellow/black. More on this shoe when I feel like it.

I initially wanted to pass on this SDCC exclusive, but having scored Hot Toys T-1000, the additional T-1000 head that came with this figure was too difficult to resist.
I did pick up the normal version of Hot Toys Sarah Connor earlier, but I think the sculpt and paint on this figure has that beat. Also, the rooted hair turned out quite well.

I think I purchased this last year and put his straight into my shelf, next to his son.
The only reason I scored this figure is cos I'm a fan of Sean Connery.
Here's earlier pictures of his son.

Scored this while it was on clearance, and it turned out to be quite a fun toy.

Quite sad that Hot Toys never completed this line, as I would really like to have decent 1:6 versions (movie or not) on my shelves.

Many thanks to Open The Toy, Shengtai and Metro for the invite to this event.
Here are the sections that I thoroughly enjoyed.
Evolution of Gundam features every incarnation of RX-78, and it is an excellent walkthrough that examines how each version of this iconic mecha improves on the last.

One of the figures in my backlog of toys, Leonidas is photographed without most of his accessories as they're packed away somewhere. I picked him off the shelf for this short series of photos.
I'm impressed how far Hot Toys have come with their skin textures and rubber muscular bodies.

I'm happy with the head sculpt and it is an improvement over Silken Floss.
The leather outfit serverly restricts her poses, regrettably. The overall impression I have of the figure that it is very similar to CY Girl's Sky and Blaze, with tight costumes and limited articulation, but with a very good head sculpt.
