A blue Ket

U is for Ugly Dolls.

I simply love Ugly Dolls. I had done a review on them not too long ago.
Series 3 is now out and I got my hands on a blue Ket.
Series 3 includes Babo's Bird, Kaiju Ice-Bat, Ket, Nandy Bear, Ninja Batty Shogun and Pointy Max. They are all available in 2 colors.
Another plus point is that they are not in blind packaging so you can pick and choose which ugly doll you like.

Series 3


When I first saw the new series, I fell in love with Ket.
I will most probably pick up more from Series 3.
I am aiming to get Nandy Bear and Pointy Max.

How do they keep on coming up with such simple but super cool designs!!

A Shy Boy

T is for T-Boy

T-Boy is designed by Shin Tanaka.
Shin Tanaka is a master of the paper arts.
His paper design has a strong graffiti element.
He first started off creating life sized paper versions of his favourite sneakers because he could not afford them. This caught the attention of the shoe companies he was imitating...well the rest is history.

One of his more popular paper designs is T-Boy.
T-Boy is a shy and curious character and pulls his T-shirt over his head when he becomes shy.

I was excited when I heard that Shin Tanaka will be converting his paper design, T-Boy, into vinyl form.
I am glad that I have finally gotten my hands on it.

I have always loved the design of T-Boy since I first saw it in paper form.
Now I have the vinyl version. Hahaha!
I love the fact that Shin Tanaka, a paper artist, was able to bring his paper design into vinyl.
I can only wish that one day, my paper design can also follow in his footsteps.
I can only dream...LOL



The design of the packaging is cool.
You can see elements of his papercraft background!

Little Blue Fellows

S is for Smurfs

La La La La La La La La La La La...

The Smurfs are a comic and television franchise centered on a group of small blue fictional creatures.
They were created and first introduced as a series of comic strips by the Belgian cartoonist Peyo on October 23, 1958.

I remember when we were kids, my sister and I would wait eagerly for the weekend so that we could watch the Smurfs cartoon.

My sister used to collect the Smurfs toys when she was young.
She still have some of them and have passed them down to her daughter to play with in her dollhouse.
I borrowed them for this review.

The Smurfs toys are made by Schleich and they are still making the Smurfs figures.
Schleich also makes animals, knights, dinosaurs etc.

The Smurfs figures stand around 1 to 2 inches tall and are moulded as one piece, hence there is no articulation.
They look extremely cute and each figure has a dictinct character.

There is decolourisation & wear and tear in the figures but they have really stood up well against time. They are around 20 years old.
Good Times!

A 3D Smurf movie will be out later this year...I wonder if there will be a toy line for it?

Clumsy Smurf




Handy Smurf




Angel Smurf




Angry Smurf




Black Smurf
The Purple Smurfs (original French title Les Schtroumpfs Noirs, literally The Black Smurfs) is the first album of the original French-language Smurfs comic series created by Belgian artist Peyo, first published in 1963.
As the story goes, one of the Smurfs got stung by a black fly that turns his skin jet black, drives him insane and reduces his vocabulary to the single word "gnap!" He bounces around and bites other Smurfs on their tail, which turns them into black Smurfs as well!
This story was later used as the basis for an episode of the Smurfs cartoon, though their skin color was changed from black to purple.
I can still rememeber that episode!

Q

A woman ruler

Q is for Queen.
There are many types of queen but for this post I am zeroing in on fictional female sovereigns who are the official ruler or head of state.
These characters portray the strong and determined personality of a woman.

Queen Amidala
Padmé Amidala is a fictional character in the Star Wars science fiction franchise.
At the tender age of 14,she was already the Queen of Naboo and was already fighting to end her planet's occupation by the Trade Federation!
She is seen as a determined and strong character who is not afraid to see justice done and will do everything in her means to achieve it.
She later married Anakin Skywalker (who later became the famous Darth Vader) and borned him twins, Luke and Leia.
She died at childbirth.



Queen Serenity
Queen Serenity is the mother of Princess Serenity or better known as Sailor Moon and maternal grandmother of ChibiUsa (Small Lady).
She is portrayed as being a good ruler.
Having sacrificed her own life long ago, she appears only in spirit, as a sort of hologram.
Queen Serenity acts as a guide to help the Sailor Senshi remember who they are through Luna.



Sheena, Queen of the Jungle
Sheena is a fictional American comic book jungle girl heroine, published originally by Fiction House.
Her main power is the ability to communicate with the wild animals after having grown up with them since being orphaned in the jungle.
She was proficient in fighting with knives, spears, and bows, and improvised with makeshift weapons.
She was the first female comic-book character with her own title, with her 1937 (in Great Britain, 1938 in the United States) premiere beating Wonder Woman #1 (December 1941).



Queen Hippolyta
Queen Hippolyta is the mother of Wonder Woman.
Hippolyta first appeared in All Star Comics #8 (1941) in the same backup feature that introduced her daughter, Wonder Woman.
Her role was that of the Amazon Queen and mentor to Wonder Woman.



Queen of Sparta
Gorgo, Queen of Sparta, was the wife of King Leonidas I, who fought and died in the Battle of Thermopylae.
In the movie 300, she had an important role in the events surrounding the war with Persia.
She was always supporting her husband and even scarificed her body so that she could get an audience with the senate to convince them to send an army to aid her husband.
She was the one who killed the traitor in the Spartans' midst.



Bomb Queen
Bomb Queen is an American fictional comic book character, created by Jimmie Robinson.
The Queen is a villainess who has eliminated and banned all superheroes from the fictional city of New Port City.
She rules the city as a benevolent dictator; the limitations she has placed over the city's criminals have made her a popular leader.
For that I think she is cool!



My Wife
What can I say...
The Queen of my Heart!!!
