Welcome to Uniqlo!

One of my favorite products from Uniqlo is their range of UTs, especially the ones featuring Anime and Japanese Science Fiction Heroes. Here are a few very hard to find UTs of Kamen Rider Ichigo (Masked Rider No. 1) and Ultraman. They can't be found in Singapore Uniqlo (I actually asked them and they say they are not bringing in...) and are also quite hard to find in Japan. Thanks once again for my friend who got it for me on his recent Japan trip!

Detail of the Cyclone Bike on the left sleeve, brilliant touch!

Detail of the Jet VTOL, the Science Patrol's usual mode of transport in the original Ultraman series, nostalgic!

Uniqlo UTs actually cost cheaper in Japan than in Singapore. They are very affordable and well designed and hopefully, they will keep up the good work and produce more of these gems!

My Ultraman Collection


Here are some of my Ultraman Gasahpons and Soft Vinyl Figures collection. Enjoy!


It was quite a chore arranging them. There were a few times where Ultraman Ace fell down a few times and started a "domino" effect and brought down some of his brothers with him. But once done, I am rewarded with a magnificent display of the Ultra heroes in my living room : ).

Ultraman Cola Drink!




Looking at these series of pictures, one wouldn't guess that this is actually a can drink designed with the red and silver stripes of Ultraman on it, nice!




This is actually a cola-like drink by a Japanese drink company DyDo. My friend Sze Huat gave the can to me after his recent trip to Japan. (Thanks Bro!) The one that he gave me is of Ultraman Zoffy's design. Here's how the back of the can looks like...





It shows the data on Ultraman Zoffy and also of all the designs of this series of drink. All of them look top notched! I brought out my Zoffy figure to take a pic with the can.



Zoffy : Hey where did the can go?

It is now proudly displayed in this plastic casing I got from Daiso at $2 a pop, Swee lah!
