Little Plastic Man Top 10 Fave Awards 2009 - Number 1



And yes...we have finally reached the summit!
At number 1 is Hot Toys DX Joker!
This figure was supposed to stay in the packaging until I move house but because this is such an awesome figure I had to take him out to receive his Golden LPM.
This is truly one "HOT" toy!

Over to our roving report for more on the Joker.

LPM reporter : Hi everyone at the studio...it seems we have a situation here.
Studio : What happened? Please report.
LPM reporter : It seems that last year's No 1 does not want to give up his trophy.
LPM reporter : The bank robber Joker has pulled out his gun...oh no...it's a very tense situation indeed.
Studio : What a way to end the LPM Top 10 Fave Toys awards 2009! Until next year...cheers!

The Stand-Off!

Little Plastic Man Top 10 Fave Awards 2009 - Number 2



At number 2 is Sideshow Snake-Eyes.
There is a split between toy collectors over this figure...and I am on the "I love it!" camp.
This is Snake-Eyes man! The deadly silent killer.
Anyway I am so waiting for my pre-ordered Storm Shadow to arrive, so he can also take his rightful place beside Snake-Eyes.
You can read my review of Snake-Eyes here.

Over to our LPM reporter.

LPM reporter : Congrats on the win!
(after a long silence)
LPM reporter : Erh...he is just staring back at me.
LPM reporter : I think I better go. Ciao.

Little Plastic Man Top 10 Fave Awards 2009 - Number 3



In at number 3 is Hot Toys Major Alan "Dutch" Schaefer.
This is easily the best 1/6 Schwarzenegger sculpt I’ve seen this year.
Everything you expect from Hot Toys.
You can read my review of Dutch here.

Now over to our roving reporter for an interview with the man.

LPM reporter : Congrats on getting into the list.
Dutch : Thanks, we from the Hot Toys party were getting a bit worried as up to the 4th position, none of the Hot Toys figures were nominated.
LPM reporter : Due to the high price tags of Hot Toys figures, LPM was not able to purchase so many Hot Toys figures hence you guys are unable to dominate the list.
Dutch : OIC, but credit to the other toy companies for their excellent work this year.
LPM : You know...you are the only toy which I had a decent interview with. Enjoy your win.
Dutch : Thanks...I'll be back!
LPM : Please don't spoil it.

Little Plastic Man Top 10 Fave Awards 2009 - Number 4



Coming in at number 4 is Sideshow Imperial Shock Trooper.
I was actually not going to start collecting 12" Star Wars troopers, but I simply could not resist this figure. The Imperial Shock Trooper has the best armor paint (a close second is the Utapau Clone Trooper) as compared to the rest of the other troopers.
Now that I have this, I am tempted to get the Utapau Clone Trooper and I have already pre-ordered the Sandtrooper...here we go again.

This is another figure that I won't be taking out of his packaging soon due to my moving house in March. Pity...

Over to LPM roving reporter for an update.

LPM reporter : Congrats! Were you "shocked" to get into the list?
Shock Trooper : Yes...
LPM reporter : Was it a "shock" to the system?...hehehe
Shock Trooper : Erh...not really
LPM reporter : Tell me more of your "shockery"...
Shock Trooper : Erh...another pun and I will blast you with my blaster!
LPM reporter : Shocking!

Little Plastic Man Top 10 Fave Awards 2009 - Number 5



We have reached the halfway mark.
At number 5 is Takara Encore G1 Bruticus!
Bruticus is not my most favourite Combiners (my all time favourite is Devastator), but gets into the list because I think all Combiners are super cool!
You can read my review of Bruticus here.

Over to our reporter for more update with the robot of the moment!

LPM reporter : Congrats on getting into the LPM Top 10 Fave Toys for 2009.
5 Combaticons (all talking at the same time) : Yeah...su...love...hey I am talking...Shu...Hey!
LPM reporter : I can't understand...you guys need to take turn to talk!
5 Combaticons (all talking at the same time) : No...I am talki...my turn...hey...get ou...shut....!!
LPM reporter : Sigh...

Guess what!
Last year's No 5 is also Takara Encore Transformers!

Little Plastic Man Top 10 Fave Awards 2009 - Number 6



At number 6 is DiD WWII 2nd Ranger Marksman "Private Daniel".
What is there not to like about this figure?
Great head sculpt, lots of great accessories, figure portraying Private Daniel in the movie Saving Private Ryan and a nice & reasonable price tag!
You can read my review of this figure here.

Over to LPM roving reporter for a few words with the sharp shooter.

LPM reporter : Congrats! You must be pleased getting into the list.
Private Daniel : Thanks. I am very happy.
Private Daniel : Oh...one thing, please don't tell my Captain about my win. He is pretty sensitive, if you know what I mean...
LPM reporter : Sure...enjoy your win.

Little Plastic Man Top 10 Fave Awards 2009 - Number 7



Ok ok...I am going to be biased here.
In at number 7 is Little Plastic Man's very own toyline, F.A.T.S (Future Advanced Tactical System).
It is in the list mainly because it is one of a kind and it's mine! LOL!
You can view related paper toys news and my paper toys here.

Now over to our roving reporter for a quick update!

LPM reporter : Congrats on getting into the list!
F.A.T.S : Thanks. Paper is in!
LPM reporter : Yes and you are recyclable too!
F.A.T.S : Erh...we don't intend to be recycled

Golden moment for F.A.T.S (Future Advanced Tactical System)

Little Plastic Man Top 10 Fave Awards 2009 - Number 8



At number 8 is Mattel 12" Ghostbusters Ray Stantz.
Even though the head sculpt is weak but this is the Ghostbusters, man!
We never really had a proper Ghostbusters movie toyline before and I am happy that Mattel is producing 6" and 12" figures!
Another great and unexpected plus for this figure is the amazingly detailed light-up Ghostbusters proton pack!
It's a real pity I won't be taking him out of his packaging soon, as I will be moving house in March and I would rather him be in the box for easy transportation.

Now to our roving reporter.

LPM reporter : Congrats!
Stantz : If there's something strange in your neighbourhood,b
Who ya gonna call...Ghostbusters!
LPM reporter : Oh...will keep that in mind.
Stantz : If it's somethin' weird and it won't look good
Who ya gonna call...Ghostbusters!
LPM reporter : Sigh....

Little Plastic Man Top 10 Fave Awards 2009 - Number 9



In at number 9 is my kit-bash Eugene "Doc" Roe from the HBO Band of Brothers mini series.
2 main reasons why this figure is among my top fave toys of 2009.
1) It is my very first attempt at kit-bash.
2) I remembered Doc Roe best in Ep 6 (Bastogne) so to have a Doc Roe in his Bastogne attire is really great!

You can read my review of this figure here.

Over to our roving report for the interview.

LPM reporter : How do you feel about getting into the list, Doc Roe?
Doc Roe : Anything to get out of the cold in Bastogne! Ha Ha!
LPM reporter : Thats funny. Anyone you want to thank?
Doc Roe : I would like to thank Little Plastic Man for this award and also for kit-bashing me up. I do think I look good.
Doc Roe : By the way, know where to get a pair of scissors. I just can't find it.
LPM reporter : Erh...not too sure...Enjoy your win!
