Muahahahaha! Finally! I had managed to find the 10" and mini The Flash action toy figurine in original red color, with the help of Hubby. Boy does he have sharp eyes or what! And now, I would say that my collection's complete. Well, not quite... There's still a porcelain limited edition version, which I presumed to cost hundreds of dollars. Hubby had given me the red light so I doubt I can buy it. We saw one in Bras Basah the last time we went, and I must say that it was really beautiful.
Anyways, this morning trip to China Point Square(or China Square? I can't remember, hehe) in Chinatown proved to be fruitful. I bought the 10" The Flash and the mini one, a Mandarin Spawn 2 and Hubby bought a Transformer in the form of a lion. And I saw another type of toy which I would like to add in to my toy collection. Those vintage robot toys really appealed to me. They looked charming and exuded a kind of vintage elegance, very old school and I definately have not seen them in my younger years. We saw one in one of the shops that costs over 1.6k SGD! Wow, phew! But it looked really old. A bit rusty and dusty. I think I will try to look for one in HK. Erm, not the 1.6k vintage piece though.
Then there are also PVC figurines from the hit manga and movie, Deathnote, for preorder. Very comical and cute. Maybe I'll look for those in HK as well.
I think I have developed a liking for vintage stuff. I saw some vintage lighting in one of the antique shops and I thought that it would be interesting to put one in our future home. Those antique shops really brought back some of my childhood memories. Some of the toys and things that I used to see, were in the shop, and when I saw them, they looked so comfortingly familiar.
So when will the next trip to China Point Square(or China Square) be, Hubby?
