Herbie Fully Loaded Movie tshirt

This is the tshirt given out in Singapore to promote the Herbie Fully Loaded movie in 2005. Lindsay Lohan is the female lead who owns a Volkswagen car with a mind of its own. Did not really dig the movie but the tshirt is alright.

Men in Black 2 Movie Baseball Cap

This is a cool MIIB cap in black, MIIB is actually the sequel to the hugely successful box-office hit Men in Black. The metal MIIB logo on the cap makes the cap look really fantastic.

Asia E! Online Entertainment portal tshirt

This is an Asia E! Online tshirt that I won in a contest from the online entertainment portal a very lnog time back, probably in 2000/2001. I don't think they give out such tshirts frequently as prizes.

What do you get the Ultimate Star Wars fanatic?

What can you get for that Star Wars fan who eats, sleep and breathe Star Wars? He already owns the lightsabers, his prized figurine collection fills the entire room, movie posters from every episode of the saga adorn the walls and even the bedsheet shows Princess Leia with her famous buns (its the hair! Goodness)

Wait! Did I say eat? Yeah, probably even a fanatic wouldn't own a pair of lightsaber chopsticks? Trust the Japanese to think of everything!

The reason why Hollywood keeps making sequels....

Cineleisure Orchard Baseball Caps (2 versions)

These are 2 versions of baseball caps of Cineleisure Orchard with the centre's logo and mascot emblazoned on it. These were given out when the entertainment complex was opened in 1997. There was also a large-sized interactive talking mascot near the entrance of the entertanement complex but it has since been removed. They have also changed the logo to a new one.

Planet Hollywood Singapore Collectible Mousepad

I got this Planet Hollywood mousepad at a special movie event organised by Planet Hollywood and a local publication. I don't remember which movie was screened, but the screening room was nicely decorated, spacious with comfortable couches and bean bags.

Planet Hollywood Baseball Caps (New York and Paris)

I got these 2 Planet Hollywood baseball caps (New York and Paris) from the Planet Hollywood outlet in Singapore. I remember thinking then it was a bit strange to find these merchandise, emblazoned with other Planet Hollywood locations here in the local store. The reason is that Planet Hollywood operates like the Hard Rock Cafe franchise, that is, they will only sell merchandise meant for that particular city or country. Another thing to note, these caps were sold at a huge discount close to 50 percent of the normal retail price, so I grabbed them without hesitation. Later I found out about the imminent closure of many Planet Hollywood outlets worldwide, including the one in Singapore, so I guess that is the reason for the cheap bargain.

Hasbro Star Wars Episode 1 Figures (with Commtech chip)

I am not too sure how I got these two Star Wars figures but I'm aure I did not purchase them. I probably would have bought a Darth Maul or Obi-Wan Kenobi figure given a choice. I would love to get a Commtech reader so I can playback the speech from the Commtech chip. Anybody got 1 of those?

Stealth Movie Baseball Cap

There were 3 movie premiums that I won from a Stealth movie contest organised by a local publication. This baseball cap was one of the items, another item is a dogtag with chain which I have posted earlier. The last item, which I can't seem to locate, is a pair of cloth badges with the Stealth insignia. I will update on the blog once I manage to I find them.

Prince of Egypt Movie Baseball Cap

This Prince of Egypt baseball cap is an official movie promotional premium from 1998 and "Dreamworks Pictures" is on the back of the cap. I don't recall much about the animation movie but the baseball cap looks good. Its made in Bangladesh though.

Titan AE Movie Collectible Tshirt

From my experience in collecting movie tshirts, most of these items are mostly made in Large or X-Large sizes, and especially if they are made in the United States. These tshirts are really BIG, so I would not be able to wear them even if I wanted to, unless I possess the physique of a WWE wrestler, which I don't. This Titan AE tshirt is an exception, its a size small but I still cannot wear it as now its too small for me. Thats tragic.

Batman and Robin Movie Collectible Baseball Cap

This is a movie premium baseball cap from the 1997 movie Batman and Robin with George Clooney in the role of Batman. I like the cool red Batman logo on the cap, if you like this item then have a look at my set of nice Batman and Robin postcards.

Minority Report Movie Collectible Baseball Cap

One of my favorite sci-fi movies is Minority Report and I remember I was absolutely delighted to get this great looking baseball cap.The movie cap is still in mint condition with the tags still attached. This particular baseball cap is made in the States, which is quite rare these days considering that almost everything is made either in China, Bangladesh or the Philippines.

Promotional Movie Postcards with Advertisements

First up is a Legally Blonde postcard with an advert for Fresh Look colour contact lenses. Why did Ciba Vision choose this particular movie to advertise their product? I have watched this movie, there was definitely no conspicuous use of contact lenses. I suspect its something more subtle related to the central character in this movie. Reese Witherspoon pays the ditzy blonde on a mission to win back her beau, who happens to break up with her before he packs his bags to leave for Harvard Law School. She rallies her resources and manages to get into the prestigious institution in her own way. Perhaps that deserves a Fresh Look?

Well, what do you need when you are in a race? Speed, stamina and endurance. Yes, of course you need all those attributes. But what do you need most of all? A good pair of shoes or maybe....sandals. The makers of healthy footwear products, Scholl seems to think so and have chosen the Rat Race movie to advertise their range of health sandals. Sandals are not exactly suitable for the race but it'll pass.

This movie postcard from 2000, How The Grinch Stole Christmas was chosen by entertainment portal Asia.E! Online to advertise and create awareness of their website. This asian version of popular entertainment website E! Online was launched in 1999. The website targets English-speaking markets in Asia and featured news and reviews from Asia and around the world. There were few entertainment websites back then, and I regularly visited the website for my fix of entertainment news.

Eddie Murphy as Dr Dolittle is on this postcard, the movie of the same name from 1998. There's an advert for Spaggedies, an Italian Restaurant that still has a presence in Singapore. Frankly I don't know why the restaurant chain chose this movie about talking animals for their ad. Maybe that No Reservations movie starring Catherine Zeta-Jones would be more appropriate?

Down with Love is a romantic comedy that I enjoyed very much and I think the pairing of Ewan McGregor with Renee Zellweger is absolutely sexy. Obviously EverSoft, the maker of skin and body care products and boutique hotel, Hotel 1929 shared the same view as they held a joint promotion for this movie.     

On yet another postcard, this is Renee Zellweger in her most famous role as Bridget Jones. What is it with her, she seems to be a magnet for women's products? Here we have advertising for Nivea, the maker for skin and beauty care products. For body firming treatment cream no less. Not very flattering I think.  

The Full Monty is a movie I did not particularly enjoy, due in part to the terrible British accent. I know this movie got a lot of rave reviews but for me the movie was just plain boring. Hush Puppies had a movie tie-in promotion with free movie tickets for purchase of their range of underwear. I didn't like the movie but the Hush Puppies'  tagline is clever, don't you think so?    

Sandra Bullock is in this Miss Congeniality postcard with an advert for bods bodynits. Sandra is really klutzy in this movie but she definitely has a nice figure that I suppose many women would die for. If you ask me , I would agree wholeheartedly that she is beauty queen material. Style? She got plenty of that.
