Lego 76405 Hogwarts Express

 Lego Again! 

New Hogwarts Express train! 

This set shows much more detail than previous version and has lots of mini figures - 20!   There are four scenes in this set: 

1.  the journey begins where Harry, Ron and Hermione met in the train

2. Prof. Lupin was with them

3. Luna saved Harry

4. Harry Potter's boy was ready to school

However, I did check the review about this set. It showed that >50% customers didn't like it, because

1. doesn't fit the normal track!!

2. not motorized 

3. too expensive


After reading the reviews. Mmm.  I am not going to get it. 


One more thing I notice that it is still in stock.. You can kinda tell if the set is popular or not. For example, Delorean from back to the futrue. It was sold out right away!  Even it was released a while ago.

S. H. Figuarts Friendly neighborhood Spider-man

Very interesting.

I just shared the HOT TOYS 1/6 Spiderman (Tobey) yesterday. Today, Bandai just announced one of their brands, S. H. Figuarts, will have this Spider-man. The difference is that the Bandai figure is about 6 inches, while Hot Toys 1/6 figures is about 12 inches. 

Although S. H. Figuarts is smaller, the quality and the face of the figure is doing an excellent job! They are going to release three generations of Spiderman (again!?  Just like Hot Toys is doing). Think the other way, S. H. Figuarts is cheaper. It is about $9000JPY, compared to Hot toys (3 times more expensive). 

Here are the images

Here we go!




You see the face! It is a mini Tobey! I am wondering if the mask is soft and wearable.




A ha! Three Generations!
