Hello figure Gaf. What is the most you've ever spent on a figure? I am eyeing the Berserk black swordsman on Ami Ami but it's the equivalent of £185... Plus whatever import tax I get hit with. But I wants it...
 

Oh wow. Aqua is great. And the figure looks mostly good too! Will strongly consider getting. Terra soon?

AQUA FIGURE YESSSSSSSS

PLAY ARTS KAI NOOOOOOOOO

I would say let's see it in Bring Arts but god knows how Sora will turn out!

lol yeah real talk, I have more stuff ordered and on the way. I broke bad.



I'm not really interested in collecting all the suits or building the hall of armour. I like Iron Man, but the extent of my fandom only covers getting the first red & gold armor, the latest red & gold armor (Mark 46?), and Tony Stark himself.

Tony Stark should be easy to get still. May have release in the US, otherwise Nippon Yasan had it last I saw.

It was Hot Toys Raiden. That's really as far it ever should have gone. Then SHFiguarts Hulkbuster took the spot. Ummm, now Chogokin Megazord is taking the crown. Hopefully it won't change any time soon! I do need SHF Pink Ranger as it's the one I am missing, but even that won't take the top spot.

Hot Toys Vader. The ANH version with all of the electronics. It was $300 after shipping I think.

It will be Hot Toys Hulbuster, its 850 USD bucks which is like $1100 Canadian :(

Hot Toys Hulkbuster by a wide margin that I hope to never match again.

$365 for one of the Iron Man armors.

I wouldn't be opposed to spending more as there are some statues I'm holding off on.
 
$460 for the HT Iron Man Mark IX + Pepper Potts set. However, I'm planning on getting the Hulkbuster. Though, I'll be using all my rewards points which should get it for more than half off, so I don't know if that'll end up costing me more than $460.

$535 for the Captain Marvel exclusive premium format figure, this is with shipping.

Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.

$70 shipped for Figuarts RotJ Luke after my preorder was canceled. I've only been back to collecting this stuff for about 14 months, though.
The most I paid for a 3 3/4" figure in my original collecting run was $35 for a carded POTF 1985 Amanaman.
I'll be buying the Neca alien queen from Aliens in May and that's going to be $100.

Hot Toys Obi Wan at $210 but currently paying off a HT Luke on Flex Pay which is $10 more I think so eventually that one once I has it.

480 for the Hot Toys Tumbler.
 
Disgusting.

If 4A ever releases their 1/12 scale RoboCain figure then I'll break my spending record bigly. Thing will probably be almost $400.
 
Got the NECA 1/4 Deadpool today. If I'd have gotten him last year he'd have probably topped my list of best figures that year. Pretty much perfect. Most fun I've had posing a figure in quite some time.

Square's new Bring Arts line starts off with Kingdom Hearts III Sora in August. Can't say I like the name. Play Arts would've been better...oh...right! A better alternative than "Bring"... action, super poseable.

Anyway, looking forward to what they bring to an action figure line! Pray they don't inflate the costs to stupid levels like they did for PAK.


Edit: Yep. Will get that Spidey. Not the best, but been waiting for a SHF Spidey! The head should be smooth without webridges. Whole suit has it, which is a bit offputting, actually.

Weird name but I love that they are doing 6" scale now.

Ordered that Sora with lightning speed.

1:12 scale collectors please support this line! Imagine getting a Cloud, Noctis or your fav FF characters in this scale again. When they moved to the bigger scale it killed me inside. Glad they are testing the waters at a more acceptable size.

When do you guys think Hot Toys will make toys for the Star Wars prequel trilogy? Been watching the clone Wars recently and I remembered how cool a design General Grievous has, and that show actually made him a legit interesting character. His MagnaGuard were also cool but I doubt they'd get figures.
 
RIP MGSV :(

Just wanted a Venom Snake figure at the very least.

Won't be for a while, if ever. Episode 3 Anakin was actually suppose to be the figure to release after their DX07 Luke but we never saw it nor heard about it since. The only figure from the prequel that they've shown in the 1/4 Episode 3 Vader. Not sure if we'll ever get anything else from it.

Sideshow did a Grievous figure like 2 years ago that actually wasn't bad. You can look into finding that if you want Grevious.

Guys, Revoltech Spidey is so, so good! This thing poses like mad. Looks very, very cool. A must for Spidey fans and anyone in need of a Spidey that has crazy articulation. Can't wait for Venom, and also hope they do Black Suit Spidey.

Elsa is also quite good, thankfully. Wasn't expecting much but I'm happy with the turn out. Would be interested in a Disney Princess line for sure.

After multiple delays Mezco ships out Daredevil and The Punisher back to back. Why are you doing this to me Mezco!
Should have pre-ordered the Deluxe "fully loaded" version like me!

Looks like it will ship later. More time to spread the burden!

Though if it actually does ship this month I'm gonna be hurting, hah. I already have Daredevil and Green Arrow in my pile of loot from the last few days.

Cool spider-man. What size is he? Fits with Figuarts and Figma? Don't know much about revoltech.

Yeah, just got mine as well. Never had one of their figures before and you can do crazy poses. Kind of scared to move those joints for fear of breaking something, though. The exposed joints don't bother me that much in person

About 6 inches. Should fit fine with the SHF and Figma stuff, maybe a little tall (quickly measured against SHF 4th Hokage and SSJ Vegeta).

ZOMBINE PLS I pine daily for him

Also, in other big news, FIGUARTS NAPPA IS FINALLY FREAKING COMING OUT IN AUGUST AFTER YEARS OF BEING DISPLAY ONLY



oh and a Vegeta reissue in July but NAPPA

Nice. Dunno if I'll get him, but Vegeta is a definite! Hope this Vegeta doesn't suffer from loose joints like the original. Wonder if it is going to feature a "Premium" paint application to differentiate from the original, bit like the Cell due soon?

Edit: Ah, Vegeta is new body style, so there's the immediate difference.
