I'm still upset about that Mark XLIII price.

New 52 3.75 from DC would be great as long as they don't explode being removed from plastic like the Injustice figures.
This is awesome. Banjo is one of my dream figures. Too bad there's only ONE in existence (DKR Banjo) and it's pretty rare and expensive >_<
I need a Spider-Man, Batman and Banjo and that's a wrap on this hobby for me. I have no more space in my room for these figures, unless they're something small like amiibo.
I have wanted these for a while but I'm not sure if I'll ever end up getting them with so much out so soon. I just remembered too that I have Hot Toys' Raiden (Revengeance) on reserve at my local Forbidden Planet, no way I'll be able to pay for it when it comes though.
That DCC 3.75" line has been handled so poorly. If they had general retail releases and higher QC just a couple years ago, I'd be all over them. Look leagues better than those awful Infinite Heroes or Multiverse figures. Still gonna be hard to pass up New 52 Flash and the Rogues, if enough get made.

Someone with every Sigma 6 there is. Packaged, and unpackaged. Package variants. One of a kinds. Yep.
When I was a kid my dream was to own every G.I. Joe that existed. Needless to say, I couldn't afford it on a paper route.
When Sigma 6 came out...I gone dunnit!

Are there any good Canadian stores?
How do those payment plans work? Do you have to pay it all before they ship? Do they schedule it to where all the payments are made before the release date?
I kinda want to pick up harry and ron and later hermione once she's announced
anyone have these?

One of my favorite toy lines. Lt. Stone and the Cobra Firefly are still some of my favorite figures I own. 8" scaled figures deserve more love.

Watched this bad boy transfer hands 3 times before it landed in mine. From a flea market somewhere in Asia, through 3 ebay auctions, then onto me from a fellow member at Joebattlelines.

Will probably need to read up on the link but I think they may be making a variant based on their appearance in 4. But not 100% sure and yeah it would be so awesome if it weren't so expensive lol
Right now I currently have my DC Play Arts Kai Variants set up (sorry for the shitty shot):
And a Jehuty Riobot:
I have Superman, Zod, Captain America Golden Age, and Winter Soldier Hot Toys sitting in their boxes because I have no space for them at the moment. And I just pre-ordered the Iron Mark and Captain America Age of Ultron Hot Toys figures. I also have a pre-order for the Three A toys Master Chief. I'm absolutely addicted.

For what exactly? Since the loony is crap against the USD now I try to stick with Canadian only seller to at least save on duties.
If you are looking for Hot Toys there's Starbase collectibles (facebook name is Mariusz Rittmeyer on facebook, he just started charging in USD though so you're paying a bit more, but his shipping is 19 dollars USD to anywhere in Canada and you don't pay duties.
I find most stores that sell Hot Toys are usually significantly more expensive but might have to look into them more now with the exchange rate.
I'm about to pick up Igor so trying to see where I can get him for the cheapest probably going to spend at least 600 bucks at the least

I bought that guy strictly for Timber and have no shame about it. The snowboard was so stupid yet so great.

Typically no issues with quality on the figures. They struggle with facial likeness though, so getting two helmeted figures gets around the weakness of the brand for sure.
okay... well that's interesting. i wasn't sure if they sent you the figure after the first payment or what. obviously having it all paid off before it ships is more ideal for everyone though, I can see.

Well, on the bright side I have very tempered expectations for facial likeness on pretty much any figure that's not from the Movie Masterpiece line. Hot Toys set the bar too high lol.

Ah yes. But that packaged one there, is a one of a kind. The figure was never released packaged like that. When it went to retail, SE had his balaclava on and timber wasn't in an action pose like so...

I'd be interested in hearing opinions on HT's diecast figures as well. I'm considering Iron Man MK3 but the official set of pictures shows a relatively limited range of movement, which I assume is representative and is seemingly less than the non-diecast versions. It's not a huge deal as long as I know beforehand.

Here is my Thrasher Batman. I like this pose.
The packaging variants/one of a kind packaging stuff is always a fun rabbit hole to fall down exploring. Reminds me of the Power of the Force era of Star Wars stuff: good times.
While i'm still pondering over some Hot Toys orders, thought i'd share some other orders i made recently before pre-orders closed
Three S.H. Figuarts!
Vader
Storm Trooper
And AoU Iron Man
My passions mostly lie in 1/12th scale and while SHF are a bit smaller they are close enough for my liking.
Marvel Legends and 6" Star Wars Black Series are where most of my figure funding has been going lately.

I'm planning to get the Joker figure. Heard about some fragile limb issues, though.Also really like the Animated Series line so far.

I honestly don't see why what material the figure is made of would affect it's mobility for something like Iron Man. It's the figures with full cloth or rubber costumes that hinder joints that would make me worry. For example, I was extremely disappointed at Golden Age Captain America's range of movement for example. He can barely move his arms, and it really limits the poses that I can put him in.

I have the diecast Robocop and I have no issues with his range of movement. He's a little stiff out of the box but for general ability to put him in a good pose, he's fine.
I decided to eat the higher costs for this order because i'm really curious what some articulated japanese star wars figures would be like compared to my black series.
As for the Iron Man, I already have the SHF Iron Man and War Machine they did a while back. They are some of the best done in that scale.

Pre-ordered this one too.

Yeah it's the kind of stuff that's easy to become obsessed about. Some of the package variants I have no idea why I bothered buying. But they're there. That Snake Eyes however is a one of a kind. My best guess is that it was a mock up that was never used when the toy eventually went into manufacturing. It's the only thing in the line that's part of my collection that I can say is one of a kind.

Part 2 of the collection. There's more but I'd take up 4 posts worth and I've got a good bit in storage until I can free up more space in my den:
I'll throw up three more pics of my Eaglemoss collection and call it quits. There's more - a ton of stuff in storage and a ton of smaller stuff like amiibo's, etc.

Hot Toys figures look so cool, but I would probably be really selective with which ones I get. Some of the MCU characters look so much like the actors that it kind of creeps me out. lol
Wait this is rare!?
I loved that toy as a kid and it is still sitting in a box somewhere back at my parents house. It came with a go-kart and a missile thing you could fire from the front if you pressed the wheel. (that missile I had got totally destroyed by now)

Posted this in the other Figure Thread but I figured I'd post it here also.
