Robin Hood Ghost & Billy the Kid Ghost GC-04 (Ghost Change)

The next entry in the Ghost Change series contains the Robin Hood Ghost and Billy the Kid Ghost. These eyecons were typically used by Kamen Rider Ghost.


An interesting mix of an actual historical figure and a fictional character, these two ghosts are an unlikely pair. Yes both were outlaws but Robin Hood was a more virtuous thief whereas Billy the Kid was a vicious gunfighter. 


The Robin Hood damashii looks pretty much how you'd envision the ghost of the leader of the Merry Men of Sherwood Forest but Billy the Kid looks about as authentic as Marty McFly in Back to the Future III. It's a ridiculous approximation of a cowboy and I find it hilarious.

Police Ressha & Fire Ressha plus Cho Cho Ressha Gattai Cho Cho ToQ-DaiOh (Mini-pla)

Here are two out of the final three support trains plus as a bonus the combined form of the major three mecha and all the other combinations I haven't featured yet. ToQger was a series I really enjoyed and I'm glad I was able to collect all but the Shield Ressha so easily.



Police Train.

Thunderbird 2 (TakaraTomy Tomica)

Naturally the next entry in my Thunderbirds collection must be Thunderbird 2 piloted by Virgil Tracy.





Thunderbird 2 was always cool because it could carry different pods for a variety of rescue missions including Thunderbird 4 and the Mole. The old Matchbox diecast Thunderbird 2 had spring loaded landing gear and a working pod for Thunderbird 4 but this one is solid with wheels on the bottom.

Ultraman Hikari Spark Doll


Ultraman Hikari is the secondary Ultraman from Ultraman Mebius. He is a scientist and apparently that is why he's blue. Blue is for science and red is for fighting. I haven't watched much of Mebius yet but did get to the episodes where Hikari is introduced in his alter-ego of Hunter Knight Tsurugi. As a longtime Star Trek fan I'll admit the pointy ears appealed to me in his design. The hexagonal colour timer is a nice departure from the classic circular design while also being similar to Mebius' diamond shaped one. Also he's got a brace on his right arm instead of Mebius' left.
