OMG!!!
Styer AUG!!!
hangmen, who do you have to kill to get that AUG!?!?!
blardy hell, i can never find one here.

^yeah, and not to mention left-hander friendly too.

Product review:
Ironic isn't it, for someone who was so anti VH (Very Hot), the Hot Toys clone to be buying a VH Navy Seal Night Ops Jumper. But of course, my actions are justifiable in the sence i'm a kitbasher reborn and that i cannot wait for Hot Toys to release their weapon set which it release date never announced.


crapy looking box, still it does the job of keeping it's content from spilling out.

overview
VH latest product is a figure-less Navy Seal Night Ops Jumper which means that the nude body is not included. at RM240 (from ultimate toys) for this thing, i wouldn't call it cheap although it's atleast RM50 cheaper from Hot Toys and RM80 cheaper from Toy Soilder which is famous for figure-less uniform sets.


no figure, parts and uniform only. comes with a picture cum poster.

quality
It's a no brainer that VH products are VERY MUCH inferior to big players like Hot Toys and Toy Soilder. The puny clip buckle on the helmet are nothing more but stubs. and those stubs broke on the very first day i put it on my figure. though i do have replacement clips buckle to replace those stubs, it's the people who don't and those who are still very new to this kit bashing to stay away from VH products at the moment. because to replace every single stub is not cheap.

This set comes with M4A1 carbine and a LAW. the weapons are not weathered. Not that i'm bothered since i like my weapons unweathered and clean looking. I've always wanted a LAW to complete a bash of mine which has been WIP for almost 2 years. As for the carbine though, i've scavange its parts to beef up a SAW.


LAW, the MAIN reason for my purchase

however, all is not lost. VH did a surprisingly well job on the body armor and uniform which is bbi/master craft like in quality. the only difference is the velcro used by VH doesn't seems to be sticy enough and keep pelling off. guess i'll need to replace that too. but overall sewing of the vest is clean and no loose threads (which dragon is famous of).

final verdict
VH is definitely not for amature or beigners since lots of parts need to be reworked. after all the time and money spent on improving it, might as well buy orifinal stuff from Hot Toys and Toy Soilder. Lastly, it's NOT CHEAP.

wow!!!
nice alien, lone wolf. the only thing missing is bodies of space marines.





bwt, there's some 1/6 backpack that i'm going to let go, because i've no use for it.
1) Hot Toys desert camo, near mint condition. with stuffings.
2) Very Hot navy seal jumper black back pack. with stuffings
3) Very Hot parachute (with spare)
4) Dragon olive back pack. ok-ish condition. stuffings removed.
any takers before i put it up in garage sales?
pictures will be uploaded later.

I'm so excited till i don't have the patience to shrink the picture. This is my first purchase of candy toys and suddenly it felt like christmas again.



opening the box...


Every smaller box comes with:
1/6 gun
gun stand
presumely manual (it's in jap)
2 chewing gum


Tadaa...
i've noticed that the scope was placed wrongly. it wasn't hard to remove it and refit it again. lots of parts are snap on.


after opening the other 7 boxes....
(I've decided not to open the duplicates since i'll be selling/trading them later)

Product Comparison

Red Horse (top) VS Candy Toy (Bottom)
The world gun collection is bigger compared to redhorse. however, i've difficulty gettig sharp image of both guns which the black color of both guns could be the factor. anyway, the candy toy looks better than Reh horse custom AK since the candy toy AK is weathered and quality of bbi standards.


Dragon (bottom) VS Candy Toy (Top)
it's a no brainer who's the winner here. again the candy toy PSG-1 is bigger than existing 1/6 weapons especially from old timers like Dragon. Although this PSG-1 looks better than my old PSG-1, it still cannot challenge Dragon's PSG-1 where the stock is adjustable and it comes with lense cover. but then again, it's a candy toy, can't expect much from it.


Konami (top) VS Candy Toy (bottom)
The FAMAS that i got for comparison is from Konami's Metal Gear Solid 1 action figure which is 21C in detail, but it uses high quality plastic which gives a seramic feel to it. Being put side by side, it doesn't take much to tell which is the winner, the candy toy beats konami's FAMAS hands down i terms of quality and details. the only complain that i have is the mag for the candy toy famas is loose and keeps dropping. something that can be fixed with some glue.


Dragon (Bottom) VS Candy Toy (Top)
Another no brainer to guess who's the winner here. in terms of scale, the candy toy didn't differ much and almost the same with dragon's P90. unlike the earlier PSG-1 comparison.

Bottom Line
Yes, it's no where near Dragon's or hottoys quality. but RM168 for 10 weapons, that's RM16.80 per weapon and the quality of it is acceptable (for it's price).

Wifi-one
here's the hot toys bag that i was talking about.

interested?

Dragon olive green back pack. the stuffings in the main compartment has been removed.


othe bags to let go: very hot black backpack picture will be uploaded later

a bit too late for that now
btw, it's a bubblegum. sourish taste, reminds me of another type of gum i used to buy when i was a kid.

Jackygwh,
the secret weapon is VERY rare.

four of us LYN-ers also didn't kena, imagine how rare was that?

wow... cool collection you have
especailly the SWAT

well, guess all your questions had been covered by hangmen perfectly. But since you already have a wide range of figures to start out with (Dragon SWAT) and your huge range of CY-girls, i think it's the matter of time your 1/6 instinct kick back full throttle.

like what hangmen said, Very Hot toys are mainly for kit bashing. and as for the nude figure, you can't pose much with it. same goes for hot toys rubbery figure.

WTF!!! RM80
I can't believe i spent RM220 on a limited edition F15 pilot from bii while i was still in school uniform. vincent, name your source please.

OMG, that's Bran Rayan. you lucky devil. everytime i went there, all the goodies are snapped up by those in his 'caller's list'. plus if i'm not mistaken, there's never any figures sellng for less than RM180 at that time. (unless it's closing down sales which i regretably missed)

that people would be me. since at that time i'm still schooling and my monthly allowance was just enough to cover for one dragon figure (bbi sucked at that time), if i decided to walk to school and not eat the entire day for a whle month.

wifi, do you have higher res of those pictures?

anyway, here's the customized SAW that i did by cannibalizing parts from VH M4


plus, i manage to find parts to pimp the M4 that i traded from wifi

nothing specticular, just added a bipod.

last but not least, i got bored with the 1990 Desert Storm Delta Force skud hunter commando and decided to make him into an SAS jungle commando instead

and yes, i kinda messed up the jungle BDU. it's actually american. Hard to come across british parts nowadays.


here's a teaser of what's coming up

inspired by hangmen's desert commando he bashed some time back.

Sharp eye indeed. Plus your understanding in weaponary could rival our local SF.


I'm not too sure what to call them. Maybe just guns for hire. The gernade fella is a CQB/demo/breacher crack commando. what better ways of clearing room with frags and flashbangs.

the other dude with a berret is just a regular joe. toobad i've ran out of bacalava. his head looks too small for the berret. also tuned for CQB and speed entry with minimal gear especially the legs. don't want those knee pads slipping off like what happens to the rangers in Iraq.

OMG!!! how many of those RM70 "sniper eye" figure did you buy?
you got so many of them O__O

argh... it's in china now? Looks like Hong Kong is loosing grounds fast.

hmm.. do i need another SAS? oh, the delima...

I don't have either.

update, i'm selling my weapon rack (total 10 of them), the one that comes with world collection set. PM me your offers.

sure, help yourself

-added-
wow, after visiting you blog and OSW, that's a pretty awesome bash. i thnk you have better pics at those sites especially the one where it shows the gernade strap across the chest. really wanted one of those.

i don't have anything new to bash. since i'm quite content with them now.

yeah, boots. i've got lots of them. about a surplus of 6-7 pairs.

anyway, from your list
i'll post things pu for trade later.

hong kong?
what about guagzhow, china? (not sure if spelling is correct) there this OSW member who went there and got shit loads of loose gear from there. judging from the way he buy those stuff, its got to be cheap.
