ToysField Kuma is this ball jointed bear designed by Ootsuka Katsutoshi that can stand on its own. Its limbs are highly flexible.
In 2010, Medicom created a be@rbrick with this design, and the ToysField Kuma 100% be@rbrick emerged.
It even comes in a box that is similar to how the original ToysField Kuma is packaged in.
Am back from my short trip to Singapore and am feeling so moody thinking about going back to work tomorrow. Come to think of it, it's not really the work that I dread but rather that certain someone who's such a pain in the neck. Anyway, that's not the part that I want to blog about today.
So... yesterday I went to this flea market at China Square Centre (CSC), Singapore with my sister. As I mentioned in previous post, I have never gone for any flea market for toys, so not sure what to expect. However when we reached there, I could imagine that the one in CSC seems to be near heaven for toy lovers.
Although there are other stalls selling antiques and other stuff, the majority of them are selling toys. Coupled with the toy stores that they have in the building, I could imagine how every toy collector would feel... like a kid in a huge candy store!
I tried looking for be@rbricks but there are not many of these stalls and stores that are selling them. All the stores and stalls there seem to be focusing on action figures. Hmm...maybe be@rbricks are no longer so popular??
Anyway I got myself these 2 from the Dunny 2010 series, each selling for only SGD10. I couldn't find any dunny in Klang Valley but I would think they will cost at least RM30+ each. So I think this is a bargain.
I have been eyeing this for a while now for the simple fact that it's wearing the same spectacles as I am, which is also the very same reason why I have it as my blog's main picture.
Finally got it from Action City, Vivocity in Singapore today. It's the first be@rbrick that I get from the Lion City but will it be the only one? Hmm....lets see about it.
Planning to check out the toys flea market at China Square Central (CSC) tomorrow. I am sure it will be an interesting experience. I have never been to any toys flea market before as I only picked this addiction hobby up recently.
Have you ever just shopped for the sake of forgetting some frustrations that you encountered at work? ...and then regretting your purchase when you got home?
If yes, then you would be able to relate how I am feeling now.
I went to Sunway Pyramid after work today, and ended up purchasing these 2 Qee Redrum 2.5" Key Chain Collection. They are from the same 2008 series and with the same design except for the colours of the body.
They are actually really cute... but what I couldn't get was, why buy two? I am not even collecting Qees! I could have just picked one from the other series!
What about the key chain part?
Well there is a separate key ring that's attached to this plastic hoop thing which comes with each Qee.
I am not sure how to attach this to the Qee to make it a keychain, but I suspect it's through one of the Qee's hands. However it would come off very easily with just a slight tug. So no matter what the box says, this is definitely NOT a keychain material!
Oh well... frustrations make people do silly things. One lesson I learned from these Qees...
"All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy"
I finally found the information on how to attach the key ring to the Qee to make it a keychain.
Let me try this when I get home. Pity the Qee though as it would be hanging on the neck as a keychain.
Yay! The 2 100% be@rbricks that I ordered from Hobbycrazy, Thailand arrived today.
Ashley Wood Bambalad 100% Be@rbrick
This was released in the 2005 San Diego Comic-Con (SDCC) exclusive.
Tim Biskup Alphabeast Calli 100% Be@rbrick
This was also released as a San Diego Comic-Con (SDCC) exclusive but a year later i.e. in 2006.
One of my online orders reached me today from Hong Kong! Hooray!!!...
tokidoki is a lifestyle brand created by Italian artist Simone Legno and his business partners. This brand is Japanese influenced and I have to say, the designs are pretty kawaii (cute).
In 2008, this brand collaborated with ToyTokyo, a toy store to come out with their very first be@rbrick - the Be@rbrick 100% Tokidoki ToyTokyo Soccer which is limited to 1,000 pieces. I became an owner of one of those pieces today.
Be@rbricks and online shopping are really a very toxic combination! Click click here, click click there, and I am now waiting for my be@rs to arrive.
When are they coming to daddy??? Daddy's neck is becoming very long already!

My be@rbricks collection has gotten a "big" addition today - the Tokidoki LA Robber 400% be@rbrick, my very first 400%. I am sooooo ecstatic!
This be@rbrick is a limited edition with only 500 units worldwide. It was released in 2009 by designer Simone Legno.
Here are some pictures of this beauty.
This is Axel. He was born on the 11th Nov 2005. He used to have his own blog Axel the Pug but as his daddy (me!) found it hard to maintain 2 blogs, his stories is now a part of fishdiary resurrection.
