FOUR!!!!!!
WELP
worst possible scenario happened. Apparently some friends of my folks visited, with kids, aaaaand (you can see where this is going)
I wouldnt say they went APESHIT in my room, but jesus christ man, why do they always go for the figs WHY
results: busted paint, scratches, even a dent. Pretty much all the damage you could imagine besides breaking a limb or something.
hold me GAF, fuck kids.

My BF has been MADLY in love with this Momohime figure for awhile. I collect lots of figures, but he really only wants a select few and Momohime is one of them. I'm sooo glad she is being re-released and have been watching updates like a hawk. Alter figures are so great, I know he's gonna love this fig when he gets it!

........because they are toys?
Some people might get upset by that notion but really that's what figures are. Kids won't make the distinction between your geek toys vs their action hero figures like Ben 10 etc they might have at home.
I know your pain, brother. *hug*
I know why, I was being overly dramatic
Dear God... I need that.
(For the record, was mega hyped for TL but hated it in cinemas... Grew to love it on bluray3d at home).
Time to go harass HotToys for more TL stuff... Hell oven OG Tron stuff.
haha my friend was showing me the link to the burton 89 suit version and my first reply was "call me when they do a returns suit one"

May I suggest finding some small solace in buying new and exciting figures?
That or a savage beating.
yeah, I like both suits but the returns suit is more angular and badarse looking.
I have a similar appreciation of the TDK suit over the BB suit.
I'm like that as well. I ONLY want my Bishoujo Tekken figures from Kotobukiya but this one Momohime catched my eye. I think it's one of the only ones that's stylish that I have seen so far.

I just got one of these from a local auction site. The box has been opened, but it's in great condition and it cost me $25 only. They're quite rare I understand.
Nice catch. I was hunting for the Samus up until the Figma was announced. I'm assuming most people will go for Figma Link from now on, but it's always nice to have a collection.

Well well.
Holy fucking samurai gundam!
I do, the most recent addition to my collection has been. Had to wait almost a year for it since I ordered it in June in 2011.
welcome to the club! It's such an awesome statue. It's definitely my favorite polystone statue in my collection.

Good to see I'm not the only one collecting classic toys at the moment, just got this lot all in the mail the other day.I just got one of these from a local auction site. The box has been opened, but it's in great condition and it cost me $25 only. They're quite rare I understand.
Been wanting to ge a hold of Vehicle Voltron for the last 20 plus years. Soo happy to finally get one and for it to be in and for only 100 Aus for all the Vehicle Voltrons there was a pretty epic snag on eBay.

It would be nice to start a thread on toy collecting in general. I know that this thread sometimes takes on those duties but something else would be better.

Saw on FB (and tumblr) but OMG Hot Toys making an Agent Phil Coulson figure!
I'm so excited for this... Like ridiculously excited.

Man, that looks amazing. Any word on price? Will this be available through Sideshow? I already have the Play Arts Noble Team set, do I even need this thing?!

Got my Hot Toys Sam Flynn w/ Lightcycle.
The camera over exposed the glow a bit.
My godddddddd. I must have this!
Katherine is up for preorder. Not sure if want. I like the character and I like the pose, but not sure the quality is there to justify the cost. I have a feeling it will end up on sale after release.

FFFFFUUUUU
I don't want to get into figures. I really don't! But things like this keep trying to break my resolve down and make me weak!
Who makes this figure?
Try to resist as long as you can because as soon as you buy your first many more will follow.
Sale will happen next week on Wednesday 9:00AM (Hong Kong Time); Tuesday 9:00PM (EST US); Tuesday 6:00PM (PST US) at bambalandstore.com. No word on Sideshow having some but US/EU merchs will be able to order from 3A on the Carter figure at least.
Price is $200 each with worldwide shipping included, at least that's usual of their toys. That is a steal for a figure with lights, magnets, fully articulated fingers.

Yeah, that sounds about right. Still waiting to see when AK Cherry Bomb drops.

Unfortunately, it's a Garage Kit (unpainted, unassembled) made by a someone (or a group) who goes by MINE: http://www.tcct.zaq.ne.jp/bpbka400/mine.html
It looks like it will be at Summer WonFes 2012, but I can't quite make out whether or not it'll be for sale or not.

Frequently, good, unofficial GKs get turned into legitimized & pre-painted figures. Keep your fingers crossed on this one, but given that Gravity Daze/Rush isn't a HUGELY popular, or particularly ecchi title, I wouldn't keep my hopes too high.
My greatest sadness is this Selvaria action figure GK that never got productized:

I keep praying that I'll see a figma of her pop up one of these days.
Thanks for the info! For now, I'll be happy that it's a garage kit, as that means I won't even think about owning it. *heh*

oh yes...
Yep, like I said earlier, I am ridiculously hyped for this. Needs to come with 2 packages of mini donuts for accessories.

Buy it.
I didnt regret it for a second. Momohime is a gorgeously detailed figurine and nearly flawless.
Dont even hesitate. Its sublime.
I need to rebuy it. Mine broke after she fell off the shelf after the stand came loose. Is it just me or is the design not that secure? I don't see why it needed to be separate in the first place.
Looks great, I'd love to get one of these.
I never had this problem with any figure yet. Are you sure you didnt put it somewhere where it may have slightly melted off-balance? I put a new light in the curio to prevent that from happening. the halogen that came with it would have ruined my figurines.

Enterbay 1/4 Batman. Suit looks good, but BW head doesn't look accurate enough for 1/4 size. Nose and eyes are a bit off.
Comes with three cowl heads with different expressions, BW sculpt, and bunch of accessories.

POP and Max Factory are both so hard to tell, I bought a bootleg Nendoroid Yoko at C2E2. I refuse to buy them from a vendor unless they can prove it was direct from the company.
