So Sideshow delayed my order because I changed the shipping address (since my office can't receive packages right now.) I guess that's nice for security reasons but I think ideally they should contact you quicker than 6 days when that's the case.

I never quite understood why so many people were annoyed by, and didn't like AnthonysCustoms, I watched him for a while and just didn't get that feeling. And then I commented on a video with a small correction to something he'd said. Hoo boy, did I understand what other people meant then.

I watched a single Anthony's Customs review when the Figuarts DBZ Shenron came out. He complained that the little dragon hands were articulated as opposed to just being solid. I have never watched another one of his videos. This only informs me that I've made the correct choice.

He's just a dude that needs to put others down to make himself feel good/thinks it makes him look good, but he's just an rear end in a top hat. All those people are pretty cool. I would add TMan978 to that list too, if not just because his Baltimore accent makes me chuckle.

Dawgstar posted:https://twitter.com/TheFullForce/status/1290651715319074817 I was in Target yesterday, they only had the Wave 1 Joes  I did manage to pick up the new wave of the McFarlane DC Multiverse Nightwing, Batgirl, the BAtman Who Laughs, plus Det Comics #1000 Batman. All look and feel pretty good, although the Batman Who Laughs' face is a bit janky. I'm really jonesin' for the Grim Knight and The Destructor (although it's a shame he's not to scale) so now I'm trying to figure out how to preorder the next wave online - it says it's through Walmart but there's no way to actually prepay, just that it's out of-stock and get notified when it's back in or is that  somehow? https://mcfarlane.com/toys/grim-knight-batman-laughs/ https://mcfarlane.com/toys/batman-earth-1-dark-nights-metal/

I went to a Walmart in search of some more MOTU poo poo and they had a full set of GIJC wave 1 and I pretty much had to slap myself to keep from buying them. Destro looks fantastic but I can't keep up with so many goddamned toy lines.

I'm trying to buy a drat house and I can't be just pissing away my earnings like I usually do, but cool stuff keeps happening. It doesn't help that I've spent the past couple months going through boxes and boxes of old toys, cleaning, organizing, and trying in vain to figure out what I was smoking when I bought some of that crap.

What do you all limit yourself to? There are so many lines that I'm interested in, but I only have so much money and shelf space. Mythic Legions is my main focus, but I'm allowing myself to buy MOTU and Conan (keeping the sword & sorcery theme). MOTU has so much drat stuff though. I have the Mondo 1/6 scale figures which I love, a few Super 7 Filmation figures, and the Mega Construx Castle Grayskull. So I really don't need to get into Origins, but if I find them in the wild I know I'll end up getting them.

I buy Hot Toys, figma and nendoroids of characters I like. I'm not a completionist at all, although once upon a time I had the whole Avengers team in HT (but with whatever my favorite costume of theirs was, or in a couple of cases just availability.) That is no longer the case after Infinity War, and especially Endgame. I also have other stuff (pops, Legends, the smaller Legends, Gallery statues etc.) of the ~5 comic characters I like most.

Grant DaNasty posted:What do you all limit yourself to? I wish I was more into domestic releases as they’re usually like 1/3 the price of the import figures I like. The S.H. Figuarts of a handful of characters from Dragon Ball. But since Goku is one of them, that’s...a lot of figures. A few characters from Star Wars. Mostly Black Series, but a few Figuarts versions. Batman, Robin, Joker and Harley. I try to have one depiction from each type of media: comics, movies, TV, etc. Nintendo/Mario/Zelda/Pokémon/Smash Bros. A lot of these are affordable, but the import Figmas are pricy. Gurren Lagann (2000s mecha anime everyone should watch) Random other anime/manga Figmas and Nendoroids. For space/time/money reasons, I’ve limited myself to only what can fit in my 3 Detolfs.

I place a lot of limits on my collecting, so I don't spend a lot, but I obsess over the few, rare things that fall within my parameters: Anything Blue Beetle (Ted Kord only) Anything Booster Gold Other DC: favorite characters only, 6" scale only (and I have no faith in McFarlane or DC Collectibles, so I'm done) Anything Daredevil (I try to stick to the classic red costume), excluding high-end collectibles Other Marvel: favorite versions of favorite characters from Marvel Legends (typically more modern comic versions of street-level heroes, and I feel very close to complete) Transformers: CHUG/Siege/Earthrise -- the best versions of characters I had and loved as a kid, or always wanted as a kid (Autobots only.) G.I. Joe Classified: favorite characters only (although I've wanted 6" Joes for 20 years, so this is the line that excites me the most) And AEW rekindled my love of wrestling after drifting away in 2005 after Eddie Guerrero died, so I'm looking forward to owning Orange Cassidy and Leva Bates action figures.

For me it is generally comic based Marvel Legends, particularly looks from the late 70s through the early 90s which is the looks of characters when I got into comics. DC I tend to go with particularly good comic based Batman stuff and Green Lantern. I am really tempted by the Batman: the Animated Series stuff though. Wrestling I generally stick to iconic looks of favorites from the late 80s/early 90s again when I got into wrestling or getting figures of my favorites from the indies from the last several years. The new AEW figures look great too. Other than that it is random stuff that I like; Japanese Nintendo figures, the Heroes of the Storm figures from a few years ago. There is a ton of stuff that tempts me, the Storm Collectables video game and other license figures, the Mafex Michael Jordan, Neca licensed stuff, a ton of Transformers. The problem is not enough money and especially not enough space.

I'm in the process of moving my collection to what would be 2.0, and I've spent a ton of money trying out different toy lines and franchises until settling in what I like. Got a ton of lines I was buying into... Marvel legends Spider-Man, X-Men, and Cosmic / FF Figuarts Star Wars NECA TMNT Mezco Marvel Mezco DC Mezco Gomez / Rumble Society Figuarts DBZ Figuarts Street Fighter Figuarts TMNT (what a sad death) Amazing Yamaguchi Marvel (sold these already) Mondo Batman Loyal Subjects TMNT A couple of Hot Toys Masterpiece Transformers 3rd party Transformers Hasbro G.I. Joe Mythic Legions (dope if you are paying retail) Treasure X (everyone should buy one of these for the experience) And a bunch of other random one off figs. I just ordered the Megalopolis Madball figs, and am on the fence with the Super 7 Thundercats. This is a sickness. Edit: if I can get some time I'll have some stuff up for sale here one day soon. It's been slow moving with a new baby.

I nearly went back for those Joes but the idea that I'll likely never find the Target exclusives was enough to keep me from doing it. Currently I collect Transformers (pretty much anything Hasbro releases in the main line) 3rd Party TFs (too many to keep track of) Masters of the Universe (just jumping back in, this is going to get expensive) I dove into Lego Dimensions pretty hard, I have every single one of the packs Tron Legacy stuff. Sonic Screwdrivers.

Since I don't have much money or much space, I've been very effective downsizing my collecting lately. Last year I only got something like 10 new figures total. I mostly got superhero/videogame imports (S.H. Figuarts, MAFEX, Yamaguchi a couple of Storm Collectibles) and Mezco One:12 figures. Fortunately for me, I don't really like ML/Black Series and NECA figures are really hard to get here in MX, so my options are more limitedNanigans posted:

I stick with Hasbro releases of transformers mainly, but I've preordered the Joes I was into and that's about all I can afford both financially and space-wise. There's a Punisher legends release on presale from bbts with Frank on a chopper-style bike that I'm trying to tell myself I don't need to spend 70CAD after shipping and exchange on. I would bankrupt myself collecting Batman and Punisher toys.

I'm in a bit of a transition period with my collection, where I'm trying to get rid of a bunch of stuff from my "buy anything I like!" days. Right now the only things I actively buy are: NECA movie TMNT NECA Turtles in Time series Chun-Li stuff Some random overpriced Play Arts Kai/Bring Arts figures from games I really enjoy (FF, Nier) The Meisho Star Wars line Marvel Legends for 90's X-Men (I collected this line broadly before narrowing down, and now I'm kicking myself for not grabbing 90's animated Storm and Jean) All that said, I think I'm going to stop collecting both NECA lines now that they're dogshit to find in person, and the shipping from NECA's store is highway robbery. Going to replace those with some random Megami Device/Frame Arms figures, I think.

I don't really collect entire toy lines anymore, and I don't even really buy toys often at all, I just pick and choose really nice toys that I like, generally if it's a character I care about and it's really well-executed. Currently the things testing my resolve extremely badly are the new Thundercats series from Super 7 and the new MOTU guys. I want to collect them all. I'm having to really hold myself back!

I basically just grab sixth scale stuff that interests me, if I can afford it. It's expensive but cheaper than statues and I can pose em differently if I wanna. Granted like 90% of em are in a box or shipper at the moment, but when I get my poo poo together and clean my house and put up some shelves, you bet your rear end I'm gonna have to dust like a motherfucker.

For me my collection has become a little more streamlined over the last few years. I really started out as mainly a Marvel Legends collector with some Dragonball Z figures thrown in here and there. But as NECA started to release more figures from movies I like I started to grab stuff from them too. My favorite part of my collection is probably my Spiderman stuff. It used to take up an entire Billy bookshelf from Ikea but I spread it out a little bit to take up the top rows of the two bookcases I use and I like that a lot more. https://imgur.com/xzYRAgg Being able to split all the figures into the villains, symbiotes, and non Peter Parker related figures has really helped this collection feel a little bit more spread out so you can see everything nicely. I'm also close to having all of the Revoltech Spiderman figures but Spider-Gwen is quite elusive for a price I can actually afford.

I only have a few things I collect and it's sporadic rather than trying to piece together complete sets. The one exception is the current WWE MOTU line which is a merging of two of my favorite things. I've always collected random Universal Monsters figures and merch since I was a kid and fell in love with those movies. I have random MOTU figures from scooping them up over the years. As much as I'd love to get into the new Origins line, seeing the mad dash to buy them as soon as they're available and tales of people going to every Walmart in their state to find them... I just don't have the energy at this point. Aside from that I just buy what looks cool and if I have room for it. I have a smattering of horror figures, wrestlers, Destiny figures, McFarlane sports, etc. My white whale has always been the McFarlane JAWS set. Just waiting on the right deal to come along.

I've posted my collection a few times before but it has somewhat themed shelves: -NECA movie turtles -Random tv and movie figures from stuff I enjoy -Video game characters -Nintendo characters -Star Wars Then my two detolfs are mostly mutant/X-Men containers, with the bottom section dedicated to Avenger heroes and villains.

I basically keep things to “stuff I actually care about” which is surprisingly very helpful despite how vague it is. For example this gi joe stuff, I basically don’t care about it at all so beyond a couple characters I won’t collect any of it. And I have no desire for complete waves unless I really care about the build a figure, like that Appcalypse wave last year.

You can preorder MOTU Origins: Man E Faces, Scare Glow, Trap Jaw, Orko, Man at Arms, and Beast Man right now at Walmart.com . The screwed up thing is that each of the links will take you to the WWE Masters of the Universe Snake Mountain ring. So click here and you can add them from the search: https://www.walmart.com/search/?query=masters%20of%20the%20universe%20origins&typeahead=master  edit: Someone posted this in the MOTU Origins Facebook group. It shows the stock of MOTU Origins and Master of the WWE Universe stock at Walmart.com. https://www.bleeples.com/ edit 2: Now they're gone except for Beast Man.

Yeah I don't collect a whole lot outside of a few flagship characters I love. I'll buy an Optimus Prime, Batman, or Spider-Man related toy if I have enough affinity for it. I also don't mind having a good quality knock-off if it saves me a considerable amount of money. Thankfully I'm not into the MCU, Star Wars, Ghostbusters, MOTU, most anime or most team book characters. I've never had a completionist streak, so I keep it to stuff I'd actually want. I haven't been as excited for a new figure since the announcement of the Spider-Man retro wave.

I moved to solely 1/6 figures and I went a bit hog wild on them for a while, but I'm working on scaling back my collection and only buying figures I immediately have a strong response to, rather than "that looks kinda cool." For example I'm hyped as hell for the upcoming Hot Toys classic Spidey, since it's still somehow going to be literally the only 1/6 classic Spidey suit in existence. Unfortunately for my wallet I got it in my head that I wanted one of each Avengers character and hoo boy that quickly got out of hand. I've also decided I'm not going to be expanding my display space, so I'm forced to work with what I've got, which limits things.

I just got my set of wave 1 Super 7 TMNT ultimates, and I am seriously impressed. I have only opened Splinter and Baxter so far and they are fantastic updates of the toys I had as a kid. Baxter is huge! I'm glad they included both a cloth and rubber tunic for Splinter, I prefer the rubber; it has more of that toy feeling and the cloth feels out of place. Having gotten these I am now solidly on the gently caress NECA team, so I will be selling the neca turtles I have. Nice thing about these Super7 ones is I can actually buy them.
