Stormtrooper helmet Rapid Prototyping

My girlfriend is crazy about stormtroopers, to the extend that she wanted a 3D data of it. She spent almost a month to model this 3D file from scratch, with reference from all her collections and images over the web. With help of a friend, she manage to send it for rapid prototyping. A BIG *THANK YOU* to this friend that she has this chance to own this baby! Its quite proportionally accurate to me comparing to a lot of sculpt around. Its around 4.5" tall, in white resin material.

More images and other interesting stuff via her BLOG.

Toy Collections: Wall•E

U-Command Wall•E by Thinkway Toys.
This is a remote control figure with expressions, light-up eyes, original movie voice, sound effects and move around with its rubber tread wheel. It stands approx 9.5" which matches really well with my 12" figures on display. Really cute toy to play with or even just to look at it.

There is a better version of it which is the Ultimate Wall•E. It's around 1x bigger in size, with better details, more realistic movement, more articulations, more complicated remote control with more bla bla bla functions. I feel the sculpt proportions of this version is also better. But the price comparison is a big difference ($50< VS $190<). I would choose U-Command Wall•E and spend the rest on other toys. If you have the $$$, Ultimate Wall•E will definitely be the best. Thinkway Toys did a good job of the series of Wall•E, Scooby-Doo and Toy Story figures. I really love the "Master pieces" of the Toy Story figures, even with certificate of authenticity. Do check em up.

Just (31Jan) found out that my Wall E is without the rust weathering compare to the rest out there. Anybody know why is this so???

Toy Collections: Mega Voyager & Mega Winger

I love robot toys. Has been collecting toys for the past 2 years.
Found these from a flea market. They are in fair condition, dirty, yellowish, and lots of missing decals. Manage to clean them up, fixed some of the broken parts.

Something surprise me is the mechanical build of the figures are really good, strong and sturdy, even with these much of play wear. (Can imagine the previous kid played really hard with them)

They are mechas from the Denji Sentai Megaranger (電磁戦隊 メガレンジャー) series. Mega Voyager is a combination of 5 voyager machines, and Mega Winger transform to a plane. The wing of Winger can be attached to Voyager to become Wing Mega Voyager. Each stands approx 11" and 9".
