Every time I go to the mall, I always spend a little time to visit a toys store. I do not know why I am doing this, but I really like it. It makes me feel happy enough to whenever I see all of the action figures and toys even I do not buy anything there. Sometimes, I spend my money for legos. It's quite cheap and need simple installation (I like to going through installation process, it makes me more appreciate the result), which is better than action figures in my opinion. As you know, I really like Iron Man. So I start to collect Iron Man legos from 2015 and these are my collection :
And, I am still looking forward for adding more to my collection, maybe Stroomtroopers lego later ;P
My birthday gift last year from one of my friends :D I named him, "Kid" because he looks very cute like a little kid
I send this picture to my mom for the celebration of Mother's Day last year. Kid acting mom.
Another properties that I bought besides lego! This is my room door's security guard with his fierce face, sometimes I like to change his style according to the season or celebration :D So, everyone that see him will celebrate & be cheerful. Actually, I buy 2 Iron Man mask. One for my apartment room's door in Malaysia and one more for decorating my room in Indonesia. Long-distance twins that separated. :')
Christmas time! HO HO HO! Do you wanna build a snowman, gurls?? :DD
So, basically I like to collecting action figures but do not want to waste a lot of money because of that. Do you know the craziest thing that I almost done last year? That time, I really wanted to buy this Iron Man lamp below. Once I saw it on a toys store in Pavillion KL, I directly planned to buy it a week later. It's really cool for me, his eyes can emit rays.
But, sadly when I came to that store again the salesperson said that this Iron Man lamp was already out of stock. I was so disappointed and tried to find it on another store. I went to every mall's toy stores in KL just for find this little crap, but still cannot found it. It's failed and someone suggest me to buy that lamp online. I did search it, but after that I was not really confident to buy it online. I never done it before. So, I questioned myself, "Do I really need this thing?". And suddenly I remembered one of my friends ever said to me "I believe that every things belong to someone. If it's gone or lose, I know that the thing is not belong to me." So I determined to stop this suck hunting.
If I think back about that now, maybe it will be the most stupid action that I took if last time I successfully bought it. God! It's for RM300 and I still wanted to buy it! :O What's wrong with my mind that time??
So, basically I like to collecting toys but do not want to waste a lot of money because of that. I am understand that it is not worth it for spending a lot, especially just for a display. For me, it's only a short-time happiness while I can bring it home. I believe there must be a time when I realise that I cannot do nothing with that thing and get bored.
To overcome this, I find another way so I can still collecting my favorite characters display without spending a lot of money. I tried to make Jake's papercraft and I like the result. :)
I download this papercraft template on : cubeecraft.com and I only spend RM1 to print it with color. Just it! Then I can start to work on my favorite characters from the head to the toe. Can you imagine how much that I should spend to buy an action figures? A lot!
All that you need to make this cute papercraft are just : the printed template, scissors, cutter, glue (additional), and an old newspaper for covering your work table from scratches. Below are the pictures of how I work with Jake's papercraft, everyone can do it because it is very simple:
1. Cut the outline with scissors
2. Cut the white line with cutter
3. Fold the alphabetic black part
4. Fold the black lines as well and glue the black alphabetic parts if you want the more solid result.
5. After folding and glue-ing result
6. Putting the arm onto Jake's body
7. Jake is ready to be display in your study table or anywhere you like :D
For all my readers that have the same hobby like me, which is collecting toys and figures you can do this as an alternative if you want to save your money :)
