Converse Mega Sale 2009

Photobucket

Dec 3-6 at SM Megamall Megatrade Hall 2

Come in Early to avoid long lines.

KG 4 Sportspick's Fail Shoe

Photobucket

The Garnett 4 figure is one groundbreaking mold for the mcfarlane nba sportspicks series. This is the first time that a player is depicted on his warmups rather than the usual jerseys.

Photobucket

However, upon checking the KG 4 there is something wrong with the foot. Since Adidas has never made a shoe like that. It turns out to be one of LBJ's Shoes. Which means obviously, the mold was originilly intended for LBJ. Here is to hoping that mcfarlane will change the shoes into the TS Commanders before it gets released on feb 2010.

Philippines Byahero Keychain

Philippines Traveler/ Byahero Keychain by Team Manila for 60 bucks. Pretty cool design for a cheap price. I'm not really into keychains before, but this one looks good, especially on luggages when traveling abroad. .

Slam Dunk Collection

Photobucket

It has been more than a decade now after slam dunk has ended. 5 years after the last epilogue was shown. The series may have ended, dr t may have created more new basketball titles like vagabond and real than continuing the series. But the story remains is in a class of its own. If Boxing has Rocky, Hockey has the Mighty Ducks, Football has the Replacements and Karate has Daniel Larusso and Mr. Miyagi, then Basketball has Slam Dunk. The series has been so Iconic that most of the time the Japan National team plays abroad, the slam dunk's theme. (team pilipinas gets anak and noypi played overseas).

With that, Slamdunk merchandise and collectibles are hard to come by, most of them even bootleg stuff. Collecting memorabillia from this series is tough.

While it is hard to get an authentic slam dunk jersey made by banpresto/bandai. I got to grab a hold of customized jerseys thanks to Jerseyhaven, distributors of jerseys of the most popular amateur and commercial leagues in the Philippines.

sakuragi hanamichi

I got a shohoku Sakuragi Hanamichi in Iconic Red and Black Away. It really matches the Black/red AJ1 retro From the Jordan defining moments 63 points package, which also played a very important part in the story.

Photobucket

and Kitcho Fukuda jersey, white is a better color for ryonan since they only wore their blue jerseys once in the story (and another in the opening)
Photobucket

Its been 4 years since summit media, re-released the slam dunk manga made by chuang yi. Last year I was lucky enough to get the back issues at 35 php a pop. Too bad I could not find 3 of the 31 issues (the summit version)

tensai

The last is a customized mcfarlane sakuragi hanamichi, yes, I'm still new to this customizing an NBA mcfarlane figure so please bear with it, but I figured out that I want a large scale figure of the guy. The base figure is Juwan Howard.

Overall, this goes to show that even when a series has ended a long time now doesnt mean its the end in collecting.

flight club x nba

Check out these kickass shirts by flight club

Photobucket

First up is the Mambass. Not interested. It looks like the GI joe's enemy emblem. The character looks like a villan for some cartoon. Villan is very fitting.

Photobucket

The second one is sir charles, The 90's suns jerseys are smokin. They are even much better looking than the ones Nash and shaq are wearing. A rhino is a real good interpretation of him because of being an undersized pf. That is, his past self. If it is his present self, it should be a pig. But nonetheless a really good design.

Photobucket

Up next is his airness, as a black cat. Most likely due to the sly quick cat moves. Nice  design as well
Photobucket

The next one is the worm, depicted as a flamboyant tiger/ (hyena?) which has tatoos and dyed hair.

One is a cat and one is a hyena, shouldn't a cartoon bull be more appropriate?


Photobucket

And the last one is none other than KG! Depicted here as a wolf, most likely due to his timberwolf origins wearing the C's Alternate road uniform. I Want it!Overall, great designs by Flight club, if only it would be readily avialable.Score: 5/5

Remembering Ninoy

Photobucket

26 years ago, a senator became a hero by returning to his homeland. The dictator thought his death will silence the crowd but nonetheless sparked a revolution which led to the latter's ousting.
