I'm not a big fan of TDK Bane so he's an easy pass for me. If I were to choose just one, I'd have to go for Joker 2.0. He's the best bang for the buck. 2.0 comes with so many awesome set pieces/accessories.
Blue Dark Elf or Tanned Dark Elf?

I'm leaning towards the blue to stay true to the source material (since I also got the light elf). But the tanned elf looks fine too, augh!

How about you buy neither and save some money for a change?

But then again the head sculpt on Joker '89 is flawless!
Well you can't get Joker '89 without Batman '89
U know what, this can go on forever. Better stop while u can.

So I want to scoop up a few more of the Marvel/DC bishoujos... Does anyone have Elektra? I'm not crazy about her face, but the rest of her looks pretty great. Also have to grab PG since I already have Huntress.

PG looks great, one of my favorites.

She'll probably be my next one.
I'm also hoping (probably in vain) that they re-release Catwoman.

I want the white phoenix one. Green looks bleh with that yellow

Good luck with that. White Phoenix was the SDCC exclusive version. You've got a better chance scoring a Dark Phoenix.

The more I see that, the more I want that Joker. Then again I just can't justify spending $300 on it with my budget.

Search your feelings, Hitmon. You know it to be true.
The price is steep, but these little babies keep me going when I get stuck working extra shifts
Hot Toys hasn't said a peep since the announcement. I'm hoping after all the Iron Man 3 hoopla dies down they can move on.

Nice. mad expensive though
preordered the Dark Elf regular version. Way sexier than the Brown version to me for some reason. I dunno why that Elf keeps selling out. The face doesn't look that good to me.
I ordered both. =/
Might sell one off. I'm sure these are going to sell out. They are absolutely flawless and top tier.
Yeah, I love the outfit and the sculpt of the body, but the face totally kills it for me. A rare miss from Shining Wizard.
Razgriz-Specter
Member
Thanks.
yea, every time i see it in stock i decide to not get it. maybe she'll be worth money considering how quickly she sells out but i don't think i'll bother. got a lot of figures i need to get rid of first anyway.
She looks fine to me, but then, taste is subjective, haha. Shining Wizard's figures are also [generally] high in-demand, so that might be another reason.
Good man!
I'm tempted to order both myself, but considering the end of the year is already becoming full, I think I'll cut back and only order the Regular/Blue ver.
I'm not 100% sure, though, so I'll give it until tomorrow to decide. Either way, I'm definitely ordering one, just not 100% sure on which color [it's currently 90% Blue, 10% Dark Skin].

U know what, this can go on forever. Better stop while u can.
I got both Batmans so I want to eventually have both Jokers as well, I guess I should go with the one that will be rarer first which I think will be Joker 2.0 since Jack is still available after all this time
Packing for my move. Any guess on how many 30 gallon tubs I'll need?

Blue Dark Elf for me. I don't dislike the tan, but it has no relevance to the game or my nostalgia for it.
Also, don't get the complaints about the White Elf face. I think it looks great in combination with the pose. So serene. She evokes the source material much more than the Orchid Seed one does as well.
Edit:
Nice Persona collection you're putting together. I'm jealous. Not easy either, since the good figures are all over the place. I really wish Persona got better representation in the figure world. Had no idea High Priestess Rise and Chie were even coming out. Their prices are up there from what I can see. Is it because they're limited?
That Alter Yukiko is nice as well. The other one on mandarake is 19k. Brutal.
Speaking of Persona, I should be getting Art Works Aegis in the post soon. Really excited for that one, looks crazy good in pictures.

Any Toda Satoshi fans in the house? Gift have picked up his Saber Bride. I know his figures are as divisive as Welf face, but I'm a fan and I think he's outdone himself this time. Should look great next to Extra and Lily.
DeadRockstar
Member
Yeah, the faces seem to be the sticking point for people who don't like Satoshi Toda's sculpts. I like his take on them though. Saber's popularity means there are several good versions of her out there for people who want something more faithful to the source material as well. I have GSC's Saber Lily for that reason.
Also, today was nearly a figure nightmare. I received this in the post:
Luckily, the contents survived without damage, which is probably a testament to Mandarake's packaging.
Really need to get my display situation sorted out so I can get my collection out of their boxes.

I should invest in tubs. Probably better for storage than the plastic storage bins I'm using right now.

yea, he paid. He asked to pay on a Friday and came through. That was annoying. If he paid earlier i could've shipped it faster. lol
Speaking of which, I'm gonna try to sell most of my stuff on eBay first cuz I want a higher profit. So not gonna sell my figs here until I'm done there. I'll post my selling list here after I'm done there. I plan on selling the figures to you guys for lower prices.
i'm fine with any fees. I've jacked the prices so high it doesn't bother me. Also trying to get more feedback as a seller.

Got both as well, kind of prefer the brown skin one, but I love inkies to much to pass on the other. Man I seriously need to plan a trip to an Ikea, last two figures that I got are still in boxes because I'm out of shelf space...

Flatten all your boxes and bubble wrap all the figures and make use of the space.

How successful are you with prices that you consider high? I've always wondered if it would sell eventually but just require some patience. That's worked for me with a MacBook. I got the price I wanted, but it took 6 weeks or so to sell. Not a good strategy if you're in a hurry for the cash, but then a notebook computer is a more expensive item to begin with.
I've included Best Offer and have been accepting some of those if its good enough. Sold two auctions already last week from that. They still paid way more than what I paid originally so i felt good about it. Currently trying to get some money back and basically clearing out for space. I need space really badly in order to reorganize my displays. Old figures from years ago need to go.
I think my profits will explode when I finally post a few sealed Hot Toys figures up. The prices for them have been kinda insane. I'm just trying to organize shipping boxes. That's an annoyance.

I can't flatten them because I want to keep the plastic inserts for resale value. Not too worried about space, my house has a massive crawlspace where I can store the empty boxes inside the tubs (here's hoping the basement never floods). And tubs are cheap after spending that much on figures, about $9 at target. I'm thinking I'll probably need 4 or 5 in total.
