The Immortal Captain

2007 was the year we lost one of Earth's Mightiest Super-Hero, Captain America (aka Steve Rogers) was assassinated in the comics. What better way to honour the memory of Ol' "Winghead" than a new Cap statue sculpted by Randy Bowen. Actually, Bowen Designs released 2 versions of the statue: Classic & World War II. I'm glad that I'm able to get my hands on the Classic as quite a few shops got their orders cut, likely due to the added demand brought on by Cap's death. Personally, I prefer the pose of the earlier Cap statue that Bowen did, as it looks more noble and more befitting of the Cap. The details & paint on the new one is better done though.














This Cap statue comes with 2 bases which can be stacked to increase the overall height (as seen in the first photo) or used separately. I'm not really fond of the "booster" base as I feel Bowen overkilled it with the stars. It looks more at home at a circus than under Captain America. The other base however, is more appropriate for a American Hero, sculpted with what looks like a United States Presidential Seal. But, sloppy paint kinda ruins it, & it's not just on mine as I seen quite a few with similar plight.






Here's Cap with fellow Avenger, Thor:

"Dude, Get Your Own!"

My newest "Toy", a glossy new Sony Deep Red PSP (Playstation Portable) Slim & Lite.









If I didn't count wrongly, the PSP will be the 17th console I've ever owned. & of all the colours available, I gotta pick the hardest to photograph one. Heh


Yes, that's a Nintendo DS Lite strap (lol). My PSP is the basic package so it didn't come with any accessories other than the charger. Being the cheapskate that I am, I just used whatever strap I could find. I'm also using my Oakley sunglasses pouch for carrying my PSP around. :P

Actually I never had any intention of getting a PSP after I got my DS Lite. But, 1 game announcement changed my mind!


OFFICIAL WEBSITE

Being a big fan of the 2 God of War PS2 games, I just gotta play this one as well. I've read that Chains of Olympus will be a prequel of sorts in the GoW storyline, I can't wait! Release date: 4th March 2008, Kratos fans, mark it down!
