Joy of Toys

Just take a look at our glass display cases at the Cove and you'll be able to tell Grimlock and I are kids at heart. Grimlock is a fan of transformer toys, and we both collect Bearbricks and Kubricks. Be@rbricks are released in series; 10 in a series but we only collect the Artist and Pattern in the series. Many of the Kubricks figures are licensed representations of film, comic book, or video game characters. We only get those which we've a particular liking for.

Grimlock's transformer toys take centrestage in our living room:



Frame-ups of Our Be@rbricks and Kubricks in acrylic boxes which are placed on the otherwise ugly-looking aircon pelmet:


Beannies and some other soft toys and collectibles, mostly my presents from Grimlock:



Grimlock used to collect comics books - these are lined up on a wall in the bomb shelter:

Some of the collectibles are limited editions. We've no intention to sell any of them. Over the years, we've become more discerning in our acquisitions. Now that we've run out of display/storage spaces, our buying has slowed down quite a bit too. Gratification comes from reminiscing the association that the toy brings, and getting to own a piece of that association. And toys have a lot to do with creativity and imagination.
