Today's list comes from Singapore-based collector Bjorn Lim (IG @kopiwriter) who has a sweet list featuring both new and older releases, international and asian toys, and even a customized collectible too! Words and Images posted here belong to Bjorn, as are all features to their respective owners, in this series :)
(#10) Choco Hunter Tomorrow Queen from ThreeA
WHY: "For years, I have been tortured by how the Junko and Ayako TQs are hard-to-own holy grails. Then, ThreeA released the Choco Hunter TQ which sports the Junko TQ head sculpt! *Shed tears of joys*"
(#9) Young Gohst (Party Favours) from Ferg and Grody Shogun
WHY: "Press one button and this awesome figure will start its spinning party lights. It totally blew my mind!"
(#8) Alice by Delos Nim
WHY: "After unboxing this, I believe in love at first sight. This figure is BEAUTIFUL."
(#7) Retired Hero by Black Seed
WHY: "Cute, chubby ninja turtle in retirement mode. It brings back sweet memories of my childhood."
(#6) Gangsters Kingdom Diamond 3 from Damtoys
WHY: "C'mon now, this dude is Danny Trejo - the quintessential Mexican badass! That's why!"
(#5) Custard Hair Killer JC from ThreeA
WHY: "Fighting JC is one of my favourite Adventure Kartel characters. Ashley Wood had given him a new look, and he has been reborn as the Shit Got Real JC. This is my preferred version of the Shit Got Real Fighting JC, out of the other available versions. And yes, I have all the other versions of Fighting JC. :D"
(#4) Greasebat (NYCC 2012 MPH Exclusive) from Jeff Lamm
WHY: "This is my favourite colourway of all the greasebats out there. It is one of my holy grails which I was extremely fortunately to score on eBay. I was jumping with joy when I unboxed it!"
(#3) Rebel Ink (secret blue chase) by Secret Base
WHY: "Why: This is the most dope colourway of Rebel Ink, imho. The fact that this is a mystery colourway which was randomly put into orders made it an even sweeter score!"
(#2) Customied Munny by NervisWr3k
WHY: "I love the colours. I love the details. I can look at it all day long and still be awed."
(#1) Halloween Inc Platinum King by Instinctoy
WHY: "Toys are meant to be fun, and this figure completely nailed it. I love how it came with a remote control for me to play around with its flashing effect. The colourway is awesome too!"
