My mini ceiling fan collection

Alright, another post on my blog! This time I'll show you all of my mini ceiling fan collection from our childhood to now. Just let you know, if this hobby isn't popular yet.

Here is a little info about mini ceiling fan:

Mini ceiling fan is a type of the fan that uses a synchronous motor, so it doesn't work with a dimmer, or a regulator. Originally, the mini ceiling fans were always made in China with frequency about 220v 50Hz, and also there were 110v version of them.

Here we go! Started with the oldest one to now.

1. Unknown (probably Viar or HTC) oldie-type mini ceiling fan

Unknown oldie-type mini ceiling fan

This is my very first mini ceiling fan, even this is originally not mine. Originally, this is came from my cousin that now lived in his own house as for now. Before it broke, this fan runs fine, however this fan only lasted for around 7 years (probably). After this fan broke off, he replaced with a Shukaku mini ceiling fan. Then, I took this from his house, even this fan isn't working anymore to my mini ceiling fan collection, and I hung it as the ornament only (as for now).

2. Pair of Elitesat mini ceiling fans

These are one of the first mini ceiling fans that I bought back in 2009, while in my old house. Each fans has cost around IDR 20.000. I installed them in my living room of my old house. These fans runs fine, and blow decent amount of air. Then, some months later, I moved them to the bedroom (formerly that's my bedroom) of my old house. Unfortunately, after I took them down, I lost one of them, and the other one (that shown in pictures above here) survived. But, the one that survived has the blades broke off. Then, back in 2014, I just put this fan in my collection (along with my Sivicom), and I changed the blades of them with a better one, even the motor is a little bit inhibited.

3. Extend mini ceiling fan

Along with these Elitesat mini ceiling fans, this fan was also bought in 2009. It cost IDR 35.000. It's also the first mini ceiling fan with a bigger diameter. It works fine, however, the blades are cheaply made so that's why it broke off so badly, and it didn't last longer as the Elitesats. Sadly, in 2014, this fan was trashed, so I wasn't able to rescue it.

4. MEET mini ceiling fan

I'm not joking about this fan's brand. After 4 years later I didn't collect any mini ceiling fans, I just bought this fan with cost about IDR 20.000. This fan works, however, there is a problem for this fan. When turned on, sometimes it acts like this fan inhibited like this: startup-on-startup-on. At least, this fan blow good amount of air. Unfortunately, after some months later, one of this fan's blades was broke. For some reason I didn't rescue this fan. Instead of it, I just destroyed it with a hammer and the fire, and saved one of the blades.

5. Sivicom mini ceiling fan

Sivicom mini ceiling fan

Along with my MEET mini fan, I just bought this fan, with cost about IDR 18.000. This fan is most cheapest mini ceiling fan, among with the other ones that I have. This fan runs pretty well, even it has some buzzing noise.

6. Pair of Bright-G mini ceiling fans, in different models

Bright-G mini ceiling fans in different models

Well, after 2 years later I didn't collect any mini ceiling fans anymore, I just bought a pair of the Bright-Gs, even in different model. The first fan's model is BG-500, and the other one is FD-50-10E.  The first fan costs about IDR 30.000, and the other one costs about IDR 25.500. Both fans works pretty well, even the second fan wobbles a bit.

7. Niga mini ceiling fan

Niga mini ceiling fan

After some months later, exactly near the end of the year 2015, I just bought this fan, and it cost about IDR 30.000. This fan works well, however it's a bit wobbly.

8. GMC mini ceiling fan

GMC mini ceiling fan

Last but not at least is a GMC. After a new year 2016, I just bought this old-style mini ceiling fan. It cost about IDR 20.000. It works pretty well, and it's very quiet for an old-styled mini ceiling fan.

At least, these fans are the fans that I collect, with an exception for the Extend, one of the Elitesats, and a MEET mini fan.

This is what happens if the KFC provided PvZ toys...

For a further information of my actual Plants vs. Zombies collection (as well the origins of it), click here.

Hello everyone, This is our actual first post, as well my first Plants vs. Zombies collectibe explanation thing. This time I'll show you what happens if the KFC provided my favorite game, Plants vs. Zombies (on my story). However, the one that I research here is the ones from May 2013. Even it was discontinued forever, I still wanted to get them as the toys looks neat though, even these toys became scarce, and I didn't find it out yet.

Here is the picture of the ones that I meant here:

KFC Plants vs. Zombies

Here is a commercial video of these toys look like (the user isn't original due to Vimeo got blocked by government, for unknown reason)

Okay, here is my story of this blog before I found this commercial to this time.

Before I saw the KFC Plants vs. Zombies commercial, I thought the KFC toys are look ugly and silly in my opinion. The first time I saw that commercial, back in 8th May of 2013 (if I'm not mistaken). I was asked to my parents about this commercial, but my parents didn't know that commercial. After 2 weeks later, the commercial was gone and replaced by a Man Of Steel, which makes me sad...

Well, after I moved from my old house to my new house, I just forgot to remember these toys, because I'm fan of this game. Then, after my house installed the hotspot, I just checked it online about my favorite game as well. 

The keyword that I always find to now, in Google or anywhere, which always "kfc plants vs zombies". I wanted to get them, but unfortunately, none of the users that sold these toys. This made me sad, a bit. Then, I typed the keyword "jual mainan kfc". None of the users that sold these toys too, except someone who sold KFC toys from different cartoons and games including one of these PvZ toys. After some months later, this user no longer sold that. I also checked it on Google+ on user who got 5 of those, it's initials is "I-T" (I censored it to prevent spoilers). I asked him to get one of his Peashooter on Pumpkin, but he didn't with scarcity reason. I was discouraged about that...

I also find it on Instagram, and there are several pictures of these toys. None of them were sold them, except for the likes as well.

Even I was discouraged, in July of 2014, finally I found 3 of these toys. These are the same thing that I meant here, except the Zombies in Skull... Then, I just borrowed the Cabbage-pult one to review it again in my house...

After 3 weeks later I own this toy, my mom sent it back to the original owner. Too bad, after I borrowed it, the kids destroyed them, which makes me sad again. Then, I just bought some of those "chinese ugly" Ancient Egypt figure set from a someone's online toy store, like this picture:

Ancient Egypt figures

To be honest, I don't like most of these figures, except for the Cabbage-pult, Bloomerang, and the Iceberg Lettuce. But fortunately, KFC just released the second one like this:

KFC Plants vs. Zombies 2

However, I honestly don't like them a little, even the zombie figure looks awesome than the other toys. But, after a year later, I just bought the rare figures from e-Bay that seems to be like this picture:

K'NEX Plants vs. Zombies Series 2

It's a K'nex Plants vs. Zombies Series 2! 

Even I got complete set of it, my favorite one was the Snow Pea. Sadly, the Snow Pea's stem was missing for unknown reason, and the bag that bagged it was stapled. Because of that, I just made the stem made of the ice cream sticks, and the straws. I also wanted to get different set of the K'nex from e-Bay, but I don't have enough money. By the way, I satisfied with this set, even this set's quality is seems cheapos like my old Ancient Egypt figures, especially the attacking plants. If you use it alot, it would left the some kind of dirt on the body. I tried to clean it with any cleaners like floor cleaner, LCD screen cleaner, and also glam (or known as Minyak Kayu Putih) oil, but it doesn't work at all, which made me a bit sad. I did two videos of this set, and here are the links of them:

Part 1: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fi2IM2teuQo

Part 2: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=acaov_fUdKA

The first part I unbox it was the Cabbage-pult, then the second one I unbox it was the Snow Pea. In the end of the first part, there is a bonus of the ceiling fan at a drugstore which always belongs to our habit.

After several months later, I also bought another K'nex Plants vs. Zombies figure, which was like this:

K'NEX Plants vs. Zombies, Series 1, Sunflower

Even this is a previous series of it, that got replaced by Series 2, I actually found it for several bucks from eBay. The good thing about this toy which was included the K'NEX blocks to build a ramp to mount this toy on, that made me much appreciated for this brand.

Oh wait! I also got another figure that looks like this below:

K'NEX Plants vs. Zombies, Series 1, Bloomerang

This figure also has the same generation as the Sunflower. Even though I already have one from Ancient Egypt figure set, I like this one more, since it has a cool ability to flick the boomerang projectile. However, I have no idea when I get the regular Peashooter one, since all of the international online shops (like eBay, Amazon, and many more) no longer sold that, sadly...

Here is my video of opening about the Sunflower figure, but you must skip the first clip, due to it's actually one of my experiments about my mini ceiling fans on my channel.

Well, at least here is our story about what happens if KFC provided the neat Plants vs. Zombies toys. Guess what? I ended up got a K'nex one.

Here is the picture while first time I got a Plants vs. Zombies figure toy (KFC Plants vs. Zombies Cabbage-pult):

And here is my current Plants vs. Zombies figure toys in my collection looks like. Notice the Snow Pea's stem isn't original, and there are some of the figures that isn't shown anywhere in this picture:
