kevinxabney Posted November 5, 2013 Share Posted November 5, 2013 Alright, these little bastards are ruining my life. I poor stupid amounts of money into lots of things - records, comics, video games - but recently I've been getting more and more addicted to these little vinyl fellows. Has anyone else fallen prey to these cute collectible demons? I currently have 30 + and still have quite a few to go to finish my DC Comics collection - and thats not including variant figures.

marc32137 Posted November 5, 2013 Share Posted November 5, 2013 I have like 10 of them, including 1 variant- an exclusive X-Men Deadpool I got from MegaCon earlier this year. And yes, it's very hard to not buy more whenever I see them in stores. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have the Poncho Daryl and the Blood Splatter Chase variant Poncho Daryl. I also managed to find a SDCC "exclusive" Rick Grimes Blood Splatter variant in a Hot Topic. Edit: Also I can't wait for that CM Punk one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kevinxabney Posted November 5, 2013 Author Share Posted November 5, 2013 Just bought Daryl yesterday. My gf really wants to get into the special variants, she just ordered 3 adventure time ones Variant hunting gets crazy expensive with these dudes. I'm just trying to get the basic figures for the DC series and a few of the retired ones are upwards of $60 already. I know some of the variant Batman figures fetch $300+ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kriss Posted November 5, 2013 Share Posted November 5, 2013 i've been thinking of pulling the trigger on the six TMNT ones that are out but other action figures keep getting higher priority. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
booyahachieved Posted November 5, 2013 Share Posted November 5, 2013 I have a few game of thrones figures. I'm tempted to buy more but I've been able to hold back fortunately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marc32137 Posted November 6, 2013 Share Posted November 6, 2013 I've been looking all over for the Johnny Ramone one at a decent price, but I don't think it's gonna happen. It was on Amazon for like $11 but I waited too long. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sinisterkidd Posted November 6, 2013 Share Posted November 6, 2013 I just want the adventure time ones.. And the tmnt comic con ones... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buffbloom Posted November 6, 2013 Share Posted November 6, 2013 Do you keep these in boxes or open and display them? I just bought some recently and haven't decided what to do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marc32137 Posted November 6, 2013 Share Posted November 6, 2013 Do you keep these in boxes or open and display them? I just bought some recently and haven't decided what to do. All of mine are open except for my variant Deadpool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevinxabney Posted November 6, 2013 Author Share Posted November 6, 2013 Do you keep these in boxes or open and display them? I just bought some recently and haven't decided what to do. The good news is: the boxes aren't sealed in any way so you can go back and forth. When I started I was displaying them opened - but once I got a decent amount I started displaying them inbox. I'll post a picture in a minute. I've been looking all over for the Johnny Ramone one at a decent price, but I don't think it's gonna happen. It was on Amazon for like $11 but I waited too long. Yeah, Johnny is the toughest of the Ramones figures to find - stupidly expensive at this point but I'm sure you could get lucky with it. I stumbled upon a series 1 Chase Variant Robin two days ago at a board game shop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevinxabney Posted November 7, 2013 Author Share Posted November 7, 2013 So here is a photo of my Pops collection as it stands.I started displaying in box after I got like 12 or so and at this point I'm close to 30 or so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laralaurent Posted November 7, 2013 Share Posted November 7, 2013 what are these and why do people collect them? caninesapien 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevinxabney Posted November 7, 2013 Author Share Posted November 7, 2013 what are these and why do people collect them? They are just vinyl "toys" - little collectible stylized versions of characters from tv/movies/comics/videogames. They are more or less bobbleheads or something like that. Most people get into them because they like the show or the movie or whatever the characters come from. For example I mainly collect DC comics and The Walking Dead figures.

Rip Posted November 7, 2013 Share Posted November 7, 2013 I love the Batman Beyond one. I don't collect these but I'd have a hard time saying no to that one if I saw it in stores. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
