All that Jazz.
Or at least, the G1, World’s Smallest Transformers, Binaltech and the movie versions of the character.

Protoform Optimus Prime in traditional colours.
A fan-repaint. A valiant effort but the colours are the least of the toy’s problems.

Movie about toys, for toys.
Transformers fans will see the movie. The truly hardcore Transformers fans will apparently take their toys to see the movie.

Michael Bay, your Optimus Prime sucks.
Oh wait, sorry.

Emotion figures

Takara Action Hero Pro Ryukendo

A photo of Takara’s Action Hero Pro Ryukendo in basic form.

Action figures are thus named because of the joints which allow them to be placed in various poses. With enough articulation points, however, you can also convey emotion through body language.

(Some figures go even further with swappable heads that display specific emotions.)

The Action Hero Pro figure has a whopping 40 points of articulation including some which are seemingly there to enable very specific poses. I doubt the orz pose seen above was one of the poses the designers planned for the figure but it can pull it off as well as many others.

Magaki Ryota, the character designer of Eukrante and Ianeira, points out the accessories can be recombined in various ways and encourages fans to come up with new combos. There’s also an error in the instructions.

Al-Quran for the PSP.
I haven’t tried it myself but it apparently makes use of the PSP’s browser and the Flash plug-in.

Puzzle Quest: spelling it out

My Puzzle Quest campaign continues.

My Druid is now at level 30 with 139 victories out of 219 battles fought.

The battles take place on a 8×8 Battle Grid filled with icons. Gameplay involves matching icons to form 3 (or more) in a row either horizontally or vertically.

To win, you’ll have to reduce your opponent’s health to zero by matching skulls. Matching other types of icons will provide mana, experience or gold.

Juxtapose and go, “Hmm …”

The Star: Lina Joy loses court case

And just below that:

The Star: Bangladeshis altering MyKads

Well, it made me chuckle.
