Action Figure GAF |OT| Articulated figures murdered my wallet

I picked up the deluxe barbarian and Cador since I think he looks cool. Couldn't justify buying the trolls, though even if they're pretty dope. I think with 2.0, this brings my ML to about 15. That's way too many lol.

So I opened up NECA Shin Godzilla and I love it. It's pretty awesome for the price. Now I really want the Monsterarts versions but apparently it was a Bandai Web Exclusive and is now more than twice release price on the secondary market. So no choice but to wait for the next version with the repaint and effect parts.

But I'm jonesing for Godzilla/Gojira now. Anybody here collect Monsterarts Godzilla? Which is the best/favorite?
 
OOOHHH BABY ARTHUR LOOKS AWESOME

Some pics of Neca Shin Godzilla. For size comparison, the only other godzilla figure I have is Neca 2014 Godzilla, which I got in the same bbts order.

Get the Neca Godzilla 2001. It's still at a reasonable price and it's a beauty.

Man I wish I could go see Star Wars studio miniatures. I love that shit.

I've been lucky enough to see two major Star Wars model and prop exhibits, one in San Diego and one in San Jose. And also a Star Trek one in San Jose. Also one for The Muppets in San Diego with like everything from The Muppet Show and the first movie.
Would do any of those again in a second.
 
I was just considering buying the Nel X for a friend. Might go with this instead. Would an action figure be a strange wedding gift?
i gave a 400 valued macross valk for a gift and he appreciated it but the wife didn't know what it was. he keeps pristine =)

I only own one Godzilla Monsterarts. It's the GMK Godzilla, since he's my all time favorite Godzilla design. I figured, if I could only afford one, he was the one to get. I love the soulless eyes. He just looks so mean. I think Monsterarts did a great job capturing him.

Super Mechagodzilla is on his way to join the party. They were all pretty expensive, but I love them all. They are flat out amazing figures and I couldn't recommend them highly enough. Worth every penny. I just wish I had more pennies to own more of them.

Wow they look great! Yeah the GMK looks really good and he always stuck out to me due to his origin. I'd probably try to get Ghidorah at some point soon, but it looks like the prices for him and the mecha version are pretty up there now, unfortunately.

Curler pls buy the classic Arthur
and get the Gold one later down the line

Used my eBay coupon to pick up Figuarts Ryu and Chun-Li, along with a cheap classic Tomy Jigglypuff for my Smash figs!

I'm no diggeh. I am not saying get all the things.

Just both of these things.

Buy ALL THE THINGS. ALL OF THEM!

Diggeh ruins lives.

I definitely worked a couple grand off of your savings! Such is the way of Bro Horsemen.

Thanks. That was a mess. Double Trollble sold out so I just bought both trolls individually since the smaller characters I wanted all sold out and I planned to spend a bit over $200 anyway.

I did add Ignatius because you said so and made me go back to the site ;) I also got Baron Volligar since he looks like he would be Sir Ignatius' enemy.

Grats! Ignatius and Black Knight are both going to blow you away. I got a Stone Troll, Skapular, and Haloid Scaphoid, but the three Time Keepers sold out as I was checkout out. Rats!

Realized what would make Godzilla toys better: buildings/skyscrapers in matching scale.

Yeah.
I've seen crappy ones. And decent looking ones that were way out of scale plus expensive as fuck.

Goddam.

They didn't even have the Enterprise on display the last time I went to the Smithsonian Air and Space.
 
Wanted a Luke figure in the box to hang in my sons room so I got the 40th Anniversary Black Series farm boy Luke and I don't see why it's so hard for Hasbro to do decent faces. DC Collectibles does a decent job on the same scale and they are in the same price point.

Why bother putting effort into getting the face right when you've already signed a deal that limits your competition.

Yeah the only decently detailed/painted ones are scaled for X-Plus stuff or other 12" vinyls.

Bandai makes in scale buildings as well as tanks/planes/etc.

They look fairly sparse in paint though.


The Godzilla-specific ones are way up in price now. There's the Bandai Tamashii Act Option Building sets that are like ~$25, but those have no paint at all.

So I might try instead to figure out how to make my own.

There have been some really strong faces on the Marvel side lately, like GotG v2 Gamora, Nebula and Yondu. (whistling face)

Megaman X statue PO is up (...because the website has been hugged to death, lol). Feel free to try and go for it here: http://hand-made-object.com/store/gaminglegends/capcoms-mega-man-x/

Reminders:
- $599 USD
- 1/4th scale // 21 inches tall
- Does not ship to NA due to licensing (unless you can find a retailer who will ship to NA)
- Red and blue variants are still available


I won't be getting it personally but thought I'd give anyone here a heads up.

$600 and they couldn't come up with a good face for him. The screaming Mega Man face has always been bad on every figure/statue. Give up using that.
 
SHF Sora coming. Kingdom Hearts is getting quite a few non Square Enix figures now, I wonder if this is exclusively a Kingdom Hearts thing because of Disney?

It looks pretty good, but why can't they do other characters instead of just a bunch of Sora?

Also, I finished the Bandai Battle Droid + STAP. It's a great looking model that's a nightmare to pose due to extremely weak ankles and certain parts that fall off way too easily.

Yeah, that face is completely wrong. Even if I had the money I would never buy this. The light blue portions of the helmet are also wrong.

I mean, I don't like the open mouth either, but saying the face/helmet are completely wrong seems hyperbolic. The sculpt looks pretty accurate to me, although the face they chose is pretty unattractive.
