TheGhostOfRandySavage Posted February 23, 2020 Share Posted February 23, 2020 Any of you dude(ette)s into action figures? Β I've recently refound my love of all things Star Wars and have gone on a little bit of a 6" Black Series ordering spree. Looking forward to playing with them!π Vega 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rip Posted February 23, 2020 Share Posted February 23, 2020 (edited) Havenβt bought any figures in a while but if I do, itβs almost always anime related. Β I haveΒ more One Piece ones than anything. Β Followed by Dragon Ball Z. Edited February 23, 2020 by Rip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vega Posted February 24, 2020 Share Posted February 24, 2020 I used to collect in box Black Series 6" myself It's a really great hobby, but i had to give it up because i needed the cash for other things. And to be quite honest, I started the collectionΒ hoping that they would eventually bring out every major character in the 2015+ red line. When the split up the 6 bounty hunters on the numbered line, the store exclusive unnumbered ones and the archive collection it bugged me a little bit, my little ocd i guess Β I still buy the occasional figure though and have kept a few. The last one i bought was the sith trooper sdcc exclusive, fits to the other exclusive slip case editions very nicely and it's a great character design. Β This used to be my collection, they were all mint and in box Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know they don't keep their value as much that way, but I can't help myself. Trying to get myself to hold out for a Boba Fett reissue and trying to find a Mando!

diabretic Posted February 26, 2020 Share Posted February 26, 2020 I quit buying them about a year and a half ago (I moved and just never found a spot for them at my new place) , but I've got a decent sized collection of Black Series figures. I plan on buying that Baby Yoda when it comes out though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lexicondevil Posted February 28, 2020 Share Posted February 28, 2020 When I was a tyke, I remember the pre-order for the original Star Wars figures set. I remember thinking that they looked cheap and small, since G.I. Joes and Mego were bigger. I did end up collecting many of the original figures, but sold them a long time ago. Then when Power of the Force came out, I went crazy with those and also the dolls. At one point, I would wait in front of Kaybee toys in the mall, and when they rolled up the gates a bunch of us losers would run in and snag the new stuff off the shelves. One of the workers put a Boba doll out of reach and me and this other dude were jumping up to get it. Finally, I just climbed on the shelving and snagged it. It was comical. I ended up selling my boxes and boxes of unopened figures and dolls in one shot, thankfully. Long story short(too late), I don't collect toys anymore and hope to hell that I never do!

throughbeingcruel Posted February 29, 2020 Share Posted February 29, 2020 I recently got into Neca horror action figures. Most of them go up in value instead of dropping drastically like funko shit, and I really enjoy most of the franchises they work with.

Β I'm mainly just getting original trilogy characters (and Mandalorian). Thankfully the only figure that really sells over MSRP I have to get is Boba Fett and allegedly he's getting another release soon. I can't convince myself to get different versions of the same character either, so that'll save me some cash.

lexicondevil Posted March 9, 2020 Share Posted March 9, 2020 Oh, hell no. When I got rid of those toys it was a huge burden lifted off myself. I did buy another 8 cubby Kallax for records, though.π€ͺ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mameeshkamowskwoz Posted March 10, 2020 Share Posted March 10, 2020 The only action figures I ever collected (and by that I mean held onto as a means of entertainment AND investment) were the World of Springfield Simpsons toys. Β I had everything (including the Toyfare, Toys R Us, EB, etc exclusives) in duplicate; one opened to play with and one sealed. Sold them in a lot at some point when I was in college because I was sick of moving them around and made more money that I would have now I think. They were still in production and I think I quit between Waves 8 and 10. Β What made them so cool was the fact that they all had a chip on their foot and when you put them in a playset locking their foot in place you could press a button and it would play a quote of that character in that scene. As time when on, they made new playsets and that would allow for more phrases from the characters. It was super cool. Here's a decent overview diabretic and N8TRU 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hallowken78 Posted March 13, 2020 Share Posted March 13, 2020 I've been a hardcore toy collector for about 20 years.Β Β Action figure wise I mainly focus on horror, but I haveΒ recently started to dabble in the Star Wars Black Series.Β I also collect Funko Pops, which I cast a much wider net as to what I deem "fits" into the collection.Β Β So along with my record and poster collecting habits, my life is pretty much like a high MSRP rendition of hoarders.

KingTacoMunster Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 this is cool. and yea, im about the figures. horror mainly. IMO the NECA toony terrors are the coolest figures in awhile. simplistic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hallowken78 Posted March 22, 2020 Share Posted March 22, 2020 I really dig the toony terrors line. Β Itβs like seeing all my favorite horror icons reimagined in the style of a Scooby doo villain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
