Happy Meal - Justice League toys

Meet Batman 

and his three batarangs .

Yes really ....batarang .

( Sounds like an indecent word in the Malay language )

One in his hand , 2 on his back .

Milo - mobile drink station keychain

Isn't this the cutest ever ?

Did not get the much bulkier vehicle collection when they were out but this is just too much to say no to .

Ya , all of us have memories of the Milo van but while I think I'm old , I can't recall ever seeing this wheel station . 

Sunsilk - 2016 Thermal flask

Went round searching for this just now .Upon inspection ,

I ......

Kellogg's Cornflakes - 110th Anniversary heritage tin

Isn't 2016 turning out to be a bumper year for the tin collector ?

Released just in time for Deepavali , there are a total of 4 designs for you to drop your saliva into your big mixing bowl over ! 

Your amma or pati will love you to death if you get this for them with your pocket money haha . And then they'd shower all the guests with get extra murukku and more mutton curry than you can eat . Yay ! Win win for everyone .

First up .

Boy and his pet doggie having fun together . Oooo ....whooshhhh . Hold on tight .

If you don't mind me saying , that's a pretty updated hairstyle for a boy from the golden age . 

Shell Heritage collectible canisters

Since it is their 125th birthday , Shell Malaysia has come up with commemorative collectible tins to mark the occasion !

And if you've been following my postings , you'll know I really love all those tin and metal containers and stuff.... so this is such wonderful news to me !

Believe me when I say I tried to ignore this but failed . Faile- ed .

Meet Week 1 ...the roaring 1920's .

Chloe ( The Secret Life of Pets ) cup - MBO Cinemas

 Wasn't going to watch the movie twice , hence when I lugged this around the complex , just before watching the Train To Busan zombie flick , some people laughed alright seeing how I was in my fat cat tee at the same time .

Who cares....

 Anyway , all you similar kindred spirited cat fans out there ( we understand each other mee hee eow ) , this cup which is actually a sitting drinking bottle is super adorable and something you'll want to look out all the time .

The original figurine at a famous toy store will set you back MYR 130 ish or so.

Whereas this drink and movie ticket combo , costs less than MYR 40 ( tip : sign up for their membership and you'll get a popcorn f.o.c. upon presenting your card ) 

The Secret Life of Pets figural clip - GSC

Near impossible to get , I attempted 3 tries before landing Chloe the supercat lazy fatcat .

Lipton - Limited Edition Tea Caddies tin

Been sometime I've seen something unique in tin form . Always a sucker for anything im a tin in case you didn't know .

And then this catches my eye .

Stylus free Samsung ballpen

Indeed I was very startled when I received this pen today .

Given away as a free gift , one would expect it to be lightweight and something you chuck to the back of the drawer after a couple of rounds of jottings .

Kit Kat - Metallic Oriental Bus

Well , well , will you take a look at what Kit Kat Malaysia has in store for us Kit Kat lovers now .

Sanrio Characters and Transformers Robots in Disguise - 2016 Happy Meal

Regular readers will know how I have been lamenting about the quality of Happy Meal toys that gets from bad to worse with each passing year . This batch is no exception .

However , seeing how there are so many out there ( me included ) who will buy a cheaper priced Sanrio toy , well , you can't help but go out there and get one for yourself now can you ?

Week 1

The first of a 4 week series , if you drop this comb - toy , I am a hundred percent sure it will crack , thus try keeping it away from kids .

Milo and Nescafe magnets 2016

I'm one of those people who enjoys a cold cup of Milo straight from the beverage dispenser .

Somehow , the fountain action seems to make it taste better .

Long story cut short , that's how I ended up with this....

Pikachu mug by Meiji Thailand

Had to chug down 3 bottles of Meiji milk just to get this one cup . 

With such vivid colouring and almost perfect character representation , you can say it was worth the effort .

Nescafe Oh So Creamy White Coffee - Flavour of Spring

You should see the tin editions for various coffee brands available in stores now .

Klassno has a rectangular one out and Kapal Api has a most gorgeous Blue Mountain something something pull tab tin container in stores too .

I'm not going for Klassno because it is instant coffee powder ( I prefer 3 in 1 ) and Kapal Api is way too pricey no matter which mountain their beans grew on .

Enter Nescafe White Coffee 's with cherry blossoms or Sakura depending on how one interprets the picture .

Cocon - Gummy in a golden tin

Cocon is a Malaysian brand which is very popular for its mini pudding packs .

 As such , I least expected them to carry such a product , in fact I was never was aware that they started producing soft gummies until I found this inside a hamper .

So , I'm admiring the tin and that's when I notice the very faint yet delicate floral pattern on the top and bottom most corners of this curved container , cover included . 

Nice !

The Kungfu Panda 3 figurine cup by MBO Cinemas

Another amazing piece of movie merchandise by Zinc .

Colour is right , size too. 

 Yes it costs a hefty MYR 22 ( not including gst ) but when you hold this in your hands , your jaw will drop at the incredible resemblance .

 Even though the movie is only due in March , you must go get it ASAP as there is absolutely No repeat .

It's suuuuuper cute , looks E-X-A-C-T-L-Y like the movie character and if you're having a bad day , his silly smirk should cheer you up .

Location : MBO Cinemas , Malaysia

Happy Meal - Happy Policeman

Happy the mascot was introduced in 2014 and it got off on a wrong footing with kid reviewers . 

When it comes to this range of toys that have been just released in Malaysia , even though I don't like the faded red colour , I find it oddball funny to look at .

Turning the P & G ONG Zodiac glass bottle topper into a dangling charm

A good majority of us Malaysians love our lucky charms super cute . However the year of the monkey has seen some rather ghastly representations that are not appealing in the least . Cute ? Pulez lah hah . When it comes to what I have seen so far in Penang retail outlets , only Tesco 's cartoon monkey  makes the cut. The rest are meh , one cut out mascot along Kelawei , huh damn ass ugly and so scary to look at . 

So , I've been hunting and so far I absolutely don't like what I see . Those decor sourced from China sucks !

Until I had a bright spark moment after well...read on and you'll find out lah .

Recently P  &  G has been giving away zodiac glass bottles and I had to wait like around 3 weeks before I found the Monkey . If last year , the tingkat carrier was unopenable , this year , haiya , as luck would have it , they so phobia already with us achi achor kaupeh kauboo them , until jeng jeng jeng... if you are not careful ah , the lid for the glass bottle will slip right off and piang , there goes your pineapple cookies .

Ya , your kids will grin at you like this. You like meh ?

Not all bottles have this problem. The problem is , we have to take what the customer service gives us . Take back and exchange ? And find out the monkey is no more . Errr..nope . No thanks.

Mission - Malaysian Celebrity Chef series , 2015 recipe books

It is now 2016 , but only now have these recipe books made their appearance in my area .

When this happens , I sometimes wonder what the end retailers are up to . Why they hide these free gifts with purchase so long and only take them out loooooong after the promo period is over . 

Baffling . 

Anyway , there is a reason why I am featuring these 2015 books in 2016 .They are worth pursuing for the recipes themselves , the easy feel , overall layout , nice anecdotes and pictures included .

Garfield On The Go - 5 reasons why you should go and get those 20 Guardian stamps

Update 10/1/2016 :

 Don't bother looking for this bag on Penang island or the mainland . It is sold out !  You may try bugging the outlet staff for the display unit , but some might not sell it to you. Also , you may have to register in order to buy this , so don't waste anymore time . Put your name and contact details in folks .

******

Earlier post :

If you take into account the amount you have to spend just to collect the 20 required stamps . That's a minimum of MYR 400 . Fuuu.....plus the extra MYR 129 you have to top up just to purchase this bag , once you calculate the outlay , which is a minimum of MYR 529 , just to get this rather small handcarry ...hey , it seems like this is not going to be worth your time and effort . 

At that cost , you might as well buy this from luggage shops or better still go on a budget holiday to Langkawi and still have enough left to buy a nice luggage bag, right ?
