(statues and figurines are welcome too)
I searched for a thread about these things, but it seems one doesn't exist. I'd just like to know if anyone else collects toys, figures, collectibles or whatnot. Basically any kind of miniature plaything or something for display purposes.
I've been collecting some Power Rangers and WWE figures on and off for a couple years now. Unfortunately, I didn't keep the packaging because I was totally unaware of how much these things can go for even when they're been open. I've tried to keep them in the last few years, but space limitations forced me to throw some away, notably my Mystic Force packaging which I was very fond of.
I've also got a good portion of those Mario figurines that have been on the market for a few years now. I'm missing a few alt Mario/Luigi poses, but I'm good with just one of them. It does bother me that Peach hasn't had a model released while Daisy was in the second wave. Seems kind of backwards to me.
Recently, I got some Marvel Universe figures as a gift, Green Goblin and Union Jack. They're small, but I love the detailing and the articulation on these figures. I want to start collecting them, but 9 bucks for such small figures is just too much for my budget. Checking some stores, it doesn't seem to move much (at least not as much as those Beyblade sections that empty out fast) so I guess I'll just wait until a few of the peg warmers get handed off to Big Lots or Ross.
My most recent figure was my first SH Figuarts, this super poseable figure line from Bandai Japan. I chose to go with a Pretty Cure figure because the Bandai America Samurai line will be producing non-Mega Mode rangers soon and I already have a few Kamen Rider figures coming in from a local dealer. As for as PC goes though, it has no merchandise outside Japan so it became the obvious choice. Gotta have a magical girl posing with my henshin heroes.
Would anyone else love to show me their collection/point me towards the cheapest Delta Megazord I can buy?
