ENTERBAY is a company that produces high-end (meaning EXPENSIVE) 1/6th scale collectible figures. They penetrated the market by first releasing the Game Of Death Bruce Lee figure that was in the region of RM 1000. Highly sought after, highly collectible with only 3500 pieces produced.
High impact. The fans went nuts. Hell, even I would like to have one if I could afford it. Not that I can't, but that's another story altogether.....
Bruce Lee # 1 had the edition number etched on a metal plate on the body. The box was made of wood which in turn can be assembled into a diorama which was one of the Japanese wooden screen doors in a scene of the movie.
The figures also came with a variety of changeable hands as well as accessories. The best part about the figure is that the hair was one solid, removable piece.
Why? Because the eyes can be moved around to "look/stare" into different directions. And you'd wanna do that with these figures as Bruce Lee has a real intense look/stare.

They also produced several other Bruce Lee figures from his other movies. In my opinion, they actually got better. I could see a better Bruce Lee likeness in the next 2 versions that were released. I think the prices were slightly cheaper as it didn't come with the transformable wooden storage box to diaorama.
Bruce Lee # 2 from ENTERBAY was from the movie "The Way Of The Dragon". If memory serves me, this was the one where he travels to Rome, and fights Chuck Norris.
Bruce Lee # 3 figure, is from "Enter The Dragon". At this point, ENTERBAY introduces Version A and Version B. The difference is the facial expression, one with an open mouth, one with closed mouth. The different versions also come with different costumes and accessories.
According to ENTERBAY, this is what fans can expect:
Somewhere between Bruce Lee figure # 2 and # 3, ENTERBAY diversified and released their first, non-Bruce Lee figure:

I thought it was interesting. After all, Jet Li is a martial arts superstar who also has a few American movies under his belt. People did ask, why Jet Li first and not Jackie Chan?
Then it looked like ENTERBAY would go on expanding their non-Bruce Lee line-up and they announced their next figure - Jay Chou. Yes, that JAY CHOU who is a singer/ songwriter/ actor/ director.

So - ok, no longer a martial arts star (although I think he did have some scenes in his last movie "Kung Fu Dunk") but interesting nonetheless.
ENTERBAY has once announced the next figure and no, its not Bruce Lee, Jet Li. Not even Jackie Chan. In fact, this next figure isn't even Asian. The next figure by ENTERBAY is .....

I shit you not! Mr. Bean of all people! Why ENTERBAY?! WHY?!?!?
I guess there are many Mr. Bean fans out there. Anyway, its something that I most definitely am NOT getting. For sure!
It's a going to be a long weekend for me. Yay. We have Good Friday off, and then we'll be getting Monday off as well as its Easter. So far, the weekend has been non-productive. As it has been for sometime now.
Finally got around to getting the new PC a couple of weeks ago. Was actually aiming for a fairly decent ACER at Harvey Norman, mainly because of the interest-free installment option as well as their promotion for a free 1GB RAM upgrade. I had originally set my budget for around RM 2500.
We actually shopped around comparing specs and prices at Harvey Norman as well as Courts Superstore that opened recently near The Curve. HP computers have beautiful screens, beautiful CPU casing designs but killer prices. Lenovo had an offer for a free upgrade to a 22inch Widescreen LCD, but the whole set up looked a bit cheap.
The specs were:
Unfortunately for them (or me in this case), ACER was having some problems with their shipping and the PC was getting very irritating to use with all the flickering due to a the graphic card. We decided to go to a shop and had a CPU custom built to match the ACER's specs. Of course the price was cheaper as well.
Somehow, I ended up upgrading the Hard Drive as well as the Graphic Card and ended up spending about RM 300 more.
The new specs are:
The irony of the whole thing is that after spending RM 27o0 - I haven't even used the damn thing yet! Now how's that for an impulse buy? The only thing I did after installing the operating system was to run High-Definition "The Dark Knight" trailer on it. Watching HD on a 19inch Widescreen - WOW =D
I expect this to last me another 4 to 5 years at least. In the meantime, I think I might get some damn fancy games to try out on the new PC.
Daphne told me there was a new dessert at Burger King, some Hershey's dessert. I decided to check it out the other day.

Not overly sweet, but nothing really special. Give me a TGIF's Mocha Mud Pie anyday!
A friend showed me the shelves and shelves of books that she had.
These are the 2 books I've bought within the last 7 years. I kid you not. It's pathetic. I used to rent and borrow books. Not anymore.
The Lord Of The Rings book I got in Melbourne after watching "The Fellowship Of The Ring". I just wanted to see what happened after the movie, and couldn't bear to wait a full year until the then-scheduled "Two Towers".
I bought Dan Brown's "Da Vinci Code" because of the hype it got both good and bad. It was a good book, exciting to read plus I learnt something (which I have yet to clarify). Apparently, The Knight's Templar were some of the first people who introduced a form of banking and "ATM" like withdrawals! They used official scrolls and letters to withdraw their gold from other branches when depositing them at different towns/temples that belonged to the Brotherhood of the Knights Templar. Or something like that, its been awhile since I last read that book.

Now, these are my kind of books. Funny - looking at the stack now, I thought I had a much larger collection. I guess I thought wrong.....
Another 2 1/2 days off - sometimes, a 4 day weekend does seem to drag on forever.
I've never really been a big fan of G.I. Joe as a kid. Sure, there were plenty of action figures, vehicle sets etc but I don't remember every buying any of them. As much I could remember, it was about a group of soldiers who were always fighting the bad guys.
Now that I am older, and have developed a slight interest in military and special forces (mainly due to my toys), I did abit of reading and found this.
The leader is called Duke, a dude with a blonde crew cut. But the most interesting character I found was the character called Snake-Eyes. He wore a black costume and looked like a ninja. And lets face it, black colours are cool, even ninjas are cool. A black ninja, using guns. Ultimate coolness. It's awesome.
Today, a couple of images of Ray Park in costume were found online.
Now that's awesome. Ray Park is a master in Martial Arts, so it makes perfect sense. In case you're wondering, Ray Park became famous for playing Darth Maul in "Star Wars Episode 1: The Phantom Menace".
He was cool for being dressed in black, being the covered with tattoos as well as horns on his head, and also being the first and only Sith or Jedi to wield a double-bladed lightsaber. That an the fact that he duelled both Qui Gon Jinn and Obi Wan Kenobi simultaneously! Now that's AWESOME.
Now that I know Ray Park is in G.I. Joe - I might check it out.
It's difficult being Michael Bay, the director. He received death threats when he made extensive changes to the movie "Transformers". His movies has been called crap among other things. They say the only thing good about his movies are big explosions. There have also been reports of him being an ego-maniac etc. Basically, he isn't a very well-liked guy.
Me, I have nothing against Michael Bay. In fact, I enjoy his movies very much. His movies are the kinds of movies which are action-packed, GUY movies. Say what you want about how shitty his movies are and all that, the fact is his movies make a shitload of money. Shitloads of money.
I was reading a movie blog yesterday and came across this TV commercial that stars Michael Bay. Apparently, the writer was giving credit to Michael Bay for making fun of himself in the commercial.

G.I. Joe is about a military special forces group saving the world from a terrorist group called COBRA.Source

As I wasn't really a fan of the cartoon series, comics and toys, I didn't pay much attention to G.I. Joe until very recently. They have started filming on the live-action version of the movie.
