All you gotta do is have boundaries and prioritise what you want...my Hot Toys habit has slowed way down recently, but there are still some I really do want.
The itch never goes away
I personally prefer smaller figures than the 12" Hot Toys. 6" Figuarts are the sweet spot for me.
I want to get the Yoda and display it with an X-Wing.
I recognize the awesomeness of Hot Toys, they just aren't what I desire in toys in general.
For me Hot Toys are for characters that I really really really like. Figuarts/Figma/Nendos are for characters that I like. Funko Pop is for compulsive buying.

Why have I only found out that there is a Robocop versus The Terminator line????
I know they're reused sculpts, but the paintwork is amazing on them.
Yeah. Those are super-cool looking. So many toys, so little money.

Has anybody got any ideas for displaying figures? (Quoted to shrink size)
Any suggestions on how to make these look a bit more display-like?
Sorting out my room, and can only seem to have them looking cluttered
or they all fall over all the time.

You can get tiered shelf organisers from some stores that have a kitchen section. They can help make good use of depth height. I've seen them used as affordable and effective ways of displaying figures...even Hot Toys. You could potentially customise them into a sort of diorama.

Cheers, will have a look round on pay day for something that fits in the shelf
Local pawn shop has this Mark 42 for $240, it's so tempting! D:
An action figure gaffer who flew too close to the sun no doubt.

Do it. Such a unique armor and probably my favorite armor I own to this point.

One of the best armors they released, go for it at that price.
Also organize it in a way that makes sense and don't over crowd your shelves. You have one that has two figures and then some that have a ton. Don't feel you have to show EVERY figure, just the ones that look good or you like.

MAFEX Suicide Squad Harley Quinn and Joker: http://news.toyark.com/2016/05/23/mafex-suicide-squad-harley-quinn-joker-205018
You know, we've got pictures of these figures months out, but there's still no pictures of Mattel's DC Multiverse Harley Quinn, even though she's supposed to be out within the next few weeks. I'm getting the Deadshot and Katana figures from that line, and might get Harley...if she looks good. Might also get Captain Boomerang. Not sure about Joker (not a big fan of his look) and Batman (especially since he's just the Batman v Superman one again, but with new accessories), though I'd need them to finish building Killer Croc...

Joker is scheduled to be out in December, and Harley in January. I think the DC Collectibles figures (Harley and El Diablo) are out around the same time. Not sure about the S.H. Figuarts. I wonder if any of them will end up doing the whole team.

Those Turtles sets! NECA pls
MAFEX is really knocking it out of the park with their DC figures. I can't wait for the comparisons with the rest of the companies.

As someone who actually has the TMNT arcade board, I was excited until I saw those pictures up close. I really don't like the way they did the pixelation paint scheme on these.

Perhaps, but not necessarily to the extent that it's clinically diagnosable though.

That Harley and joker look neat. Will have to wait until I see the movie to see if I like them enough though.

Well, the movie is out several months before those figures, so I don't think that will be a problem. Hah.
Civil War Cap - Battle version
I don't really like the box art :S
But usually the main line has nicer artwork, this looks like rescue cap.

Gorgeous, have the shf one.
OMG, those TMNT figures. preying on my childhood. might consider depending on prices from resellers.
MAFEX Harley looks awesome. might pick that up depending on price as well.
Is it me or is the Chris Evans head looking kinda weird with that HT Cap Battle Ver? Seems like too many airbrushing shadows in that pic. i agree that the box art is super lazy. it's like they made it in 30 minutes.

What are the prices like on that? It's an exclusive. I think BBTS wanted $180.

It's finally happening. Holy shit. They're getting into TV series.
Hope they expand this to DC and give us figures from The Flash.

I've never bought a Hot Toys figure, but...TV figures would tempt me hard. Especially Supergirl and Flash figures...
I was talking to my younger brother about this the other day. We thought it'd be awesome to see a Daredevil figure from them.
