off the shelf: doc hudson from cars

02.04.2017 No Comments

I absolutely love Cars! Mum + dad has been buying me diecast Cars ever since I was a little tot in hopes of completing each and every character from the film and its sequel. So far, I already have a handful of them, including Lightning McQueen, his mate, Mater, Sarge, Fillmore, Luigi + Guido, Red, Sheriff, Finn McMissile, Holly Shiftwell, + Italian racer Francesco Bernoulli.

For last Christmas, my parents got me another Cars diecast to add to my collection ~ Doc Hudson.

Here’s a short background about Doc Hudson from Wikipedia:

Doc Hudson {voiced by Paul Newman in his last non-documentary film role} is Radiator Springs’ local physician. His license plate read 51HHMD, which is a reference to his year and track number (51), model {Hudson Hornet} and profession {medical doctor}. A racer-turned-mechanic, the character has Newman’s blue eyes.

Did you know that Doc Hudson is based on the real-life Fabulous Hudson Hornet in NASCAR competition? It was introduced in 1951 and manufactured until 1954.

Mum + I were off to the mall one afternoon after school for some errands when I asked if we can drop at the toy section. No mall visit was ever complete without dropping by this part of the mall. No, I do not buy toys all the time, but I enjoy browsing through the display of latest toys and spend time checking for my favorites, like die-cast cars, action figures, among others.

While doing her own browsing mum stumbled into these books that are up at discounted price that day. Planes is one of my favorite films, so we opted for this Disney Planes book, which we got for half the original price! A great deal, right?

This book tells the story of the first Disney Planes film. It introduces us to a crop duster, Dusty Crophopper, who has big dreams of joining the Wings Across the Globe race. Many people laughed at his seemingly impossible dream but Dusty never gave up. He joined the qualifying rounds but failed to make the cut, but one stroke of luck got him in the race and went on to race around the globe along with his idol, Ripslinger, and popular racers like El Chupacabra, Ishani, Bulldog, + Rochelle. With the help of his friends, Chug + Dotty, and his mentor, Skipper, Dusty went on to win the championship to prove that anyone who does not give up on their dreams is bound to achieve them one day.

Planes is a spin-off of another popular Disney franchise, Cars, which is my most favorite! A sequel to the first film was also shown not too long ago, it was called Disney: Fire and Rescue.

Reading about one of my favorite films is such a great way to pass the time. This is my current bedtime read. What is yours?

It has been a while since I last shared about my postcard collection. Mum + i were not as active in postcrossing as we are the previous years, but we did manage to have a number of awesome swaps, including these avengers postcards sent to us from China.

I may not have told you before, but I am a big fan of Avengers and I have seen their films on the telly loads of times! They are all my faves and it sure was a treat to receive their postcards in the mail.

The guy mum swapped with had numerous Avengers cards + we are glad he agreed to swap with a lot of them, so I can have a bunch of Avengers characters in my collection. I received Ironman, Captain America, Black Widow, Hawkeye, Hulk, Nick Fury, Black Widow, + Hawkeye. I was not able to take photos of the Ironman + Hulk cards, but I will make sure to share them with you next time.

Jollibee Kids Meal Toys, announcement, collection, toys, my favorite things

Jollibee Kids Meals will make our Christmas even merrier with the launch of their new toy offering ~ the Jollitown Build and Craft Blocks! It features 3 sets of colorful blocks and pieces that kids can play with and build different structures using their imagination and creativity.

Here are the toys included in the Jollitown Build and Craft Blocks series:

1. Super Shapers ~ little artists like me can press a button on the side of the pen tower to reveal the pen tip. We can usee this to trace stencil images onto paper. We can also slide our picture in the photo frame slot and the other container can be used as a desk calendar, or as organizer for our school or arts supplies.
2. Jolly Stamper ~ kid designers can decorate our own Jollitown memo pad using the stamper with 2 stamp design plates. Pressing a button on top of the tower will also activate a light to reveal Hetty’s image.
3. Fun Tracer ~ we can easily trace Jollibee’s face onto paper by turning on the switch on the Fun Tracer to project an image of every kid’s best friend. We can also display photos at the back slots and use the 2 main boxes as storage bins for our pencils, crayons, or other stuff.

I thought these blades and swords are a great addition to anyone’s toy collection, especially if you are a fun of ninjas + samurais. Also, these swords will make for an awesome addition for great costumes, especially during Halloween or parties!

I bet having one of those cool Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles swords will be cool. Would you like to own a sword or two?
