I know a lot of us here collect toys, and I know it is a huge pain in the butt when you know something's out but you can't find it anywhere in the stores around here. I've kept an eye out for things for a couple members here before, and I was wondering if maybe we could turn it into something bigger?

People could post lists of the toys they're currently looking for, and if people see stuff on the list in the stores around them, they could try to work something out via sending money for stuff and then shipping it to that person?

Obviously, people aren't going to be willing to send you money if you're some person nobody knows, but there are so many toy collectors that I know pretty well here already, so I think we could work something out. :)

So would people be up for this? Y/N? If people seem interested, I will get to posting my list. :)

That could be cool Ndi!

I've been wondering if a toy thread in itself would be cool for a while. There's a lot of things I see I like that aren't Transformers, like that Ninja Turtle figure I posted, but there's no real place to post that stuff here.

I always see Ponies around here, wondering if you have them

At FFS, we are nerdcore

Maybe we could just have a general epic toy thread (like the transformers one) and post stuff we're searching for in it too?

I love seeing stuff like the Ninja Turtles figure you posted, and I have so much fun getting nerdy over toys, so I'd be happy to see and talk about anything people would post. :)

Do you collect anything besides the ponies, or is that pretty much it?

I wouldn't say I collect anything aside from ponies right now. The last thing I was buying full sets of before this were when the SD Gundams were out. I do buy other toys I think are cute and neat, but I don't follow what's new or try and complete sets as much.

If this thread works out I imagine it'll be pretty tempting to, though. :)

I collect way too many things :o

Are you still going to get that Bumblebee figure when it comes out?

Absolutely! I am still really looking forward to it, I think it's amazing.

Did you see these pictures of it -





?

Oh, and did you like the Classics one? He's standing with that one here:

I think he looks neat in the pictures, but I haven't had any luck finding him in stores. Usually the stores around me are just full of the movie toys and that makes me sad, especially since I hate the way Bumblebee looked in the movie. I wish I lived closer to a Toys R Us because they never disappoint me selection wise.

Here's something Merl and I have noticed and I'm curious if it's true for other people- our Walmart never seems to have any DC characters when it comes to comic toys. Our Target, which is maybe a one minute drive away from the Walmart, always has plenty of Batman and Superman stuff, and sometimes more. Is this just a weird fluke or does Walmart hate them some DC comics?

I'd be up for it, but at the moment I don't really have any money to spend on buying toys so I can't really participate for a while. I can't afford to pick stuff up for people or to pay them for stuff they find for me until probably after December, and honestly the only thing I want at the moment is MP Starscream anyway.

The current DC Superhero action figures are hard to come by in general Ndi. People all over have a hard time tracking them down. My local Wal-Mart has them, as does the one I went to in Atlanta, but it's always the same figure, the Superman with a weird head piece, or the orange Doomsday. It's just a line with crappy distribution sadly. Knowing this, it's a very scalper friendly line. Since they're not eas to find, the people that run around late at night when Wal-Mart stocks or Target first thing in the morning or right before closing time when shelves are fresher buy up everything they find to sell online or in their comic shops for double/triple the price.

The real problem really is that the company just doesn't pack the cases well. Mattel does that! They ruined the recent He-Man line with their distribution. They packed tons and tons of the random He-Man and Skeletor repaints, and made the individual characters impossible to find. The repaints, Jungle Attack He-Man and Ice-Frenzy Skeletor and all that crap, clogged up the shelves, and the stores couldn't order any more, and thus sales went down, and the line got cancelled.

I don't buy toys but if you give me your mailing address I will send you a letter
...

Okay I won't.

they only toys I ever liked was Lego. I don't really collect it, but I still like it.

Okay, so here are the things I'm looking for. It's a lot because right now the stores near me fail at getting in ponies. Hopefully next time I can get out to look, there will be more!

Anyways I'm still hoping most of these will show up soon so no one needs to go out and try to get them for me, but if you do pay attention to ponies, I am curious if you have any of these guys in your stores yet. The winter ones are the only ones I really want to find right away, but I think I'm taking the DCIs for the two I need with me next time we go out that way so I can make sure I can get the whole set.

Okay, pictures!

I am going crazy waiting for these two sets to come out, but at least they should be on the shelves for a long time once they do. I just want to see them!

Do you ever look on hasbrotoyshop.com Ndi?

I'm looking for this:



Super hard to find

you know, i haven't bought toys in years. i can't even remember what the last toy i bought was.

I'm for your idea, Mandi.

I'll go look at the mall near my workplace if I have time. I'll let you know if I see anything. Hasbro stuff are quite easy to find over here.

(Ironically, my workplace is located on the same floor and the same building as that of the local Hasbro office. However, I have never socialized with their staff).

As for me, well, as most people here probably already knows, I collect some Care Bears and Kellytoy Strawberry Shortcake plushes (among many other random toys, mostly plushes). Right now I'm looking for the few remaining 8-inch beanies that I don't have yet from the New Care Bears line and a Lemon Merengue and Raspberry Torte plush (and a few others) from the Kellytoy Strawberry Shortcake line.

As for the last toys bought, I just finished binging on eBay on some Care Bears cousins.

One more request: If anyone's going Christmas shopping soon, can they please check if the Nintendo DS game "Strawberry Shortcake: The Four Seasons Cake" is selling at your nearby game shop? I seem to have a bit of problem locating said game online. NCSX cancelled my order because their suppliers are not carrying it and it's not showing up on eBay. I ended up buying it off YesAsia.

can't say that im much into toys either....

but the coolest game and commercial was for...

omg, yes, gator golf!!
although, i think this has it beat:

Well, I took a quick scan around the aisle at the shopping mall on my way home. Nothing (although I could've sworn I saw that pony with the cowboy hat). However, when I was flipping through the Toys R Us holiday guide while I was in the loo a while ago, I saw this (note bottom-right-most corner):

I'll go check out the nearest Toys R Us on Sunday and see what else I can dig up.

Do you ever look on hasbrotoyshop.com Ndi?

The christmas ponies are already sold out there, but they have the regular ones. Usually I don't have a problem getting everything from a normal set, it's the holidays I have trouble with. Every once in awhile a pony escapes me, though (I never found that one sparkly pony I linked you to ages ago).

I wish I was near a Toys R Us! Last time I was there they were selling $3 ponies.

I'll start looking at the new care bears stuff more, I swear you're going to make me want to collect those too. =p And I'll see if I can find the Strawberry Shortcake game.

i had aimed to start collecting japanese cute stuff like stuff from aranzi aronzo(http://english.aranziaronzo.com/) , sanrio and san-x after i get a job(thats mean after i graduate highschool ;_:).Re-ment miniature food is cute too...and japanese fashion dolls like Momoka and pullip is so adorable!!

i always visited http://www.thevalleyofthedolls.com/home.php to look at the cute dolls.

hey, ramchyld, what currency is that in that advertisement?

I saw ponies around all the Halloween displays this year, but they didn't look particularly Halloween-ish. Still, I was wondering if they were special somehow, or just there as ideas for what to give to girl trick or treaters, but I never go to ask you Ndi :(

I used to collect Koosh balls, but that was a LOOOOONG time ago.

The only toys i collect atm are the Stargate action figures. They're the only ones i care enough for to spend my very limited moneys on. Once i get my pay rise though, i'm gonna expand.

Looking forward to the new stargate range though, the 12" figures.

The Halloween ponies this year weren't super Halloween-ish, they were just dressed in costumes. The other one isn't too expensive on ebay though, so hopefully I'll be able to get her.

I wish I was near a Toys R Us! Last time I was there they were selling $3 ponies.
Well, the nearest one to me is a half an hours train ride away from home, so yeah. That's why I can only go during weekends.

Thanks. Well, you don't need to if you don't want to get started on them.


hey, ramchyld, what currency is that in that advertisement?
Malaysian Ringgit :P . You may wish to use xe.net to find out how much they cost in US$, but I think the current exchange rate is currently around RM3.40 to US$1.

My nearest Toys R Us is about 20 miles away. They closed the one in my town :(

It's not a big deal though unless there's something I want that's exclusive there, which does happen. In general though, Wal-Mart is usually a cheaper alternative.

Why have I not found a reason to post in here, yet? :o

If anyone sees the Plusle and Minun plushies and could get them to me for significantly cheaper than the $35 bucks I'd pay on eBay, that would be SWELL.

Mandi:


Took a second round at the mall again and found the two. Photographed using my cellphone's camera. Still planning to go to TRU on Sunday.

Mmm... 25 years... like Care Bears... Same age as me... No! I must not fall for ponies... must... fight!

Ndi do you get any of the big plush ponies, like Pinkie Pie?

Bastards

Here are some of the upcoming Iron Man movie action figures:











They look better than Hasbro's offerings for the three Marvel films last year, by a long shot

hey ndi did you know theres cookies on that things ass

Well, came back from TRU. No Chocolate Chipper or the other Christmas ponies, but found the other four ponies on your second list.


Triple Treat? I thought that was a toucan from Strawberry Shortcake...

hey ndi did you know theres cookies on that things ass

yes


Mandi:


Took a second round at the mall again and found the two. Photographed using my cellphone's camera. Still planning to go to TRU on Sunday.

They all look so cute! I hope I get more of them soon.

I found the new release Minty, Chocolate Chipper, and Paradise Island last time I went looking though, so I'm not doing *too* badly. I really hope I find more Christmas ponies!


Ndi do you get any of the big plush ponies, like Pinkie Pie?

There are some I really like, but I don't have any of them. I pretty much just get the regular ponies.

You need giant Pinkie Pie Ndi, it's like the Transformer crossover Pony and stuff



It's so cool seeing classic carded RAH Joes on shelves again. I wish I had the money to buy em all. They're hard as hell to find too :(

No, those aren't mine

They all look so cute! I hope I get more of them soon
Well, at least we know that one part of your list is already on the shelves. I'm not collecting the ponies, don't really feel like starting. But good luck on getting them all!


It's so cool seeing classic carded RAH Joes on shelves again.
Idk. I was never into GI Joes. The show scare the shit out of me when I was a toddler (I was easily frightened when I was a toddler).

Apparently

When I was a small child I used to collect those The Corps! things. And then I'd hold large-scale battles between them and have them beat the motherfucking shit out of each other and occasionally their legs would fall off and their heads and shit.

They were sorta like GI Joe.

They've sold those at Wal-Mart pretty much forever. They still come out with new ones.

are The Corps! a knock off of GI Joe?

are The Corps! a knock off of GI Joe?
As far as I'm concerned, yeah.

Not exactly a knock off, as knock offs are pretty much illegal copies or remolds of actual trademarked toys. These were original toys, but produced cheaply. The way they were made was definitely a copy of the GI Joe: Real American Hero style, but obviously it wasn't any threat to Hasbro as they still exist on shelves today. The style of them has changed a lot though. They seem to be more realistically sculpted military style figures now rather than the slightly cartoony military/sci fi mix GI Joe RAH has. When Hasbro released a new line of RAH toys around 2001 though, they featured a new style of articulation, which the CORPS figures suddenly showed up with too, so they're definitely still trying to contend and keep up with whatever Hasbro is doing.

Even though CORPS toys are pieces of crap, it's fun to throw them around every once in a while. Like against trees. And baseball bats. Playing baseball with the corps, bich

I know, I remember that these where $5 bucks a pop when I was a kid. :(

Out of all my G.I. Joes, I miss my color change Zartan the most. :(

The current price is still 5 dollars. The collector sets of 5 in one box are 25 dollars.

That's at Wal-Mart anyway.

Not the ones I've seen.
I've seen them as much as $9 bucks, on average about $7.

Where are you looking? They retail for $4.98 at Wal-Mart. That's my local store and elsewhere also. I know they're more at KB Toys, and probably Toys R Us as well. They certainly shouldn't be 9 dollars though, not at any of the bigger name stores.

That's collector mark up.
The only ones I've seen at Walmart are the 4 pack color variants.

VASTALIS WHERE YOU SHOPPING AT DODGERS STADIUM?

Oh, you mean scalper mark ups eh. Shouldn't bother counting those. That's why you can't find any, people are buying them up to sell back for more money. It's definitely a hard to find line, largely because of scalping, but between Wal-Mart and Target I've managed to find a decent amount of them for retail. Not all, such as Flint, but most.

$7-9 isn't bad though considering what some people are paying on eBay for a single carded figure. 20 bucks and more, it's crazy.

What 4 pack color variants are you talking about?

Sorry, I mean 5 pack.
The color variant is the pack with "Gold head" Destro. I forgot how the others looked, but I think Baroness had a purple outfit, and also the "Hooded" version of Cobra Commander.

Do you just mean that?

I'm not aware of any version of it where they're painted differently. There's a second set called Cobra Legions though where Storm Shadow is painted in his modern Valor Vs. Venom scheme and Cobra Commander is black, plus some different troopers.

The hooded Cobra Commander is single carded. The Destro with a gold head is a single carded San Diego Comic Con exclusive, and there's the 2nd caped one coming out single carded now.

Most of the ones in the 5 packs are getting released separately as well, for some reason, but most of them are unchanged. So far I don't think there's been a single carded Baroness though.

That's what I saw.
I'll double check the next time I go just to be sure.

All I know, If they come out with the entire Dreadnoks gang including Zartan's brother and sister, I'm getting them.

I think they'll eventually remake all of the main ones. Zartan and Buzzer are already out, and a Torch/Ripper 2 pack is coming out soon. Zarana is pretty popular so I wouldn't doubt they'll make one of her too.



I wish I could've gotten that and the Destro SDCC exclusives this year, but I opted for the TF Alternators Rodimus instead!

Oh God! LMAO!!!
What, no Sgt. Slaughter and the Marauders???

Who knows! At first they were only doing a few waves of these, but apparently they're carrying on into next year at this point and they're going to plan a lot more given the massive fan interest so far.

I really hope so.
I'm definitely going to hunt down Zartan.

I also doubt it, but another figure I hope they bring out is the Cobra Snowboarder. That figure was badass!!!
They probably won't though, seeing as it came at the latter end of the figure run, during the crappy Mortal Kombat series.

If you mean Snow Serpents, they had some cool ones released in other recent Joe lines

Here's my thus far humble collection of the 25th stuff. I haven't purchased everything I've seen, otherwise there'd be a good bit more







Two Shipwrecks because there's a tattoo variant, one is a shark, the other an anchor. It's ridiculous, but I bought those at a KB Outlet store and I got one free, so I figured...why not!

WHY ARE THERE SO MANY TOYS DON'T THEY KNEW LITTLE KIDS HAVE ALLOWANCE AND CAN'T BUY THEM ALL GEEZ!

If you mean Snow Serpents, they had some cool ones released in other recent Joe linesYeah! Also, I remember having the ninja series, Also the Variant Gung Ho in Marine Dress Blues.

The thing I remember most about G.I Joes, was the Mail Order Exclusives. I had all kinds of Exclusives, like Super Trooper, Sgt. Slaughter, and others, including some vehicles.

Do you know if they're going to come out with any vehicles?

I think there was a design team guy that said something like "You can't have GI Joe without vehicles now can you?" or something like that at the last official Joe convention, so I think they're looking into it. I doubt there's going to be any huge expensive ones though.

If they do, I hope the bring out the Dreadnok Ground Assault car.
As you can see, I'm a Dreadnok Fan! :naughty:

THEY SHOULD HAVE A MILK TRUCK!

does any one used to collect pogs?

Fuck you









In this post: Hilarious upcoming Batman Toys

SCUBA ATTACK BATMAN
SUNDAY BRUNCH BATMAN
THE POWER IS OUT, GRAB A CANDLE! BATMAN

I'll post the ones that look good if you guys don't let the thread get buried again :o

I really want to know who the creative team is, or who approves those weird ass versions on any toy line. I don't know, I really believe they think kids are color blind or something.

My collection so far:
Cobra Trooper
Zartan
Lady Jaye
Flint
Beachhead
Shipwreck
Sgt. Stalker

I could've had: Cobra Commander (hooded), Serpentor, Firefly, Cobra Ninja, Cobra Officer, Shadow Storm (G.I Joe).
Unfortunately, I gave Cobra Ninja and Firefly as a gift, and I couldn't afford any more.

"Tests" show that kids do like wonky colors, and obviously that stuff sells because they keep making them

Vastalis - check your local Target, they're having clearance sales, and the GI Joe box sets are included

Wonky colors?

Monstructor (http://www.tfu.info/1989/Decepticon/Monstructor/monstructor.htm) original release, ftw.

Wonky colors?

Monstructor original release, ftw.
Oh, man. That nearly made coffee come out of my nose (note to self: Make sure to completely swallow coffee before reading a thread).

Yeah, it does look kinda weird for a Transformer toy. Almost like one of those knockoff robot toys if you asked me. If I wasn't presented proof that it was original, I would have shoved it off as a knockoff.

No, I'm serious. I love that toy.

Yeah, it does look kinda weird for a Transformer toy.

I'll have to show you some Transformers Generation 2 toys sometime then, you'll love em

No, I'm serious. I love that toy.
Ah, k.


I'll have to show you some Transformers Generation 2 toys sometime then, you'll love em
k.

Example:

1994's G1 Bruticus repaint



Look at all the pretty colors sexpot

Okay, see I do prefer the muted Bruticus colors.

It's almost not THAT bad, but then they throw in the bright red/orange Swindle and the day-glo Brawl and it's just, whoa whoa, what the fuck

"Tests" show that kids do like wonky colors, and obviously that stuff sells because they keep making them

Vastalis - check your local Target, they're having clearance sales, and the GI Joe box sets are includedI haven't been to target for a couple of weeks.
The last time I went - After Christmas Sale - they only had the Cobra Legions sets for $25 bucks - which I didn't have. I'll look though. Also the local Toys R' Us still has some left. I went there the other day, and they had 1 Shipwreck only. I'll keep checking there every week - they have a toy shipment coming in on Wednesday. Who knows? Hopefully I'll find a treasure trove, especially Buzzer.


Wonky colors?

Monstructor (http://www.tfu.info/1989/Decepticon/Monstructor/monstructor.htm) original release, ftw.ROFL
I remember that combiner. I always made fun of my friend for having it. It's like they ran out of paint and borrowed some from a baby toy line.

The Cobra Legion sets are currently $6 at Target - if you can find one

The Cobra Legion sets are currently $6 at Target - if you can find oneWHAT!!! :shock:

They're $33 at Toys R' Us!!!

Target's clearance is currently 75 percent off. Things are getting wiped out quick though. You might not find anything by now, but at that price it's at least worth checking out

I hope it's not regional,
When does the sale end?

It's not just regional. It's not quite a sale, it's just clearance to clear old stock, and all stores do this. It is however on a store by store basis - some have the clearance that deep, some don't. This is apparently pretty widespread though.

Since it's clearance, it doesn't really end - it just sits around till it's gone or they send it back to the company to make room for new product

That's probably why I found those Marvel Super Hero Squad sets at Toys R' Us for so cheap!

Prolay

Anyone collect the old power ranger zords? American or original sentai versions?

Not anymore

http://youtube.com/profile?user=JTMitchell87

This guy does a lot of Power Ranger toy reviews. I've never watched any due to lack of interest but he seems popular.

For Ndi:

People even do My Little Pony reviews on Youtube

This gal in particular is pretty cool:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rg91rvkhrqc

Sort of friends on there via other people, she's nice and doesn't have many subscribers so DO IT

See Ndi if you got a camcorder or webcam or something that could totally be you, you could be a youtube star just off pony reviews

Shit I bought yesterday:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2a4Ti55mAtw

Dude, you sound just like me whenever I justify my small spending sprees.

I've said time and time again that I retired from collecting, and only collect stuff for enjoyment rather than value, but then I see a bargain, and everything goes out the window! :p

Yes, YES

Joe 25th Viper :D

Is that a collector's club exclusive?

If it is, I really need to join!

Nope. They just tend to get previews of things first

Official pics of all four of the comic Turtles:

Official pics of all four of the comic Turtles:
All of them have the same colors and the only difference is the weapons? Hard to swallow for me. Too used to the TV series/Movies version where each of them have distinct mask colors.

Their heads are all unique also. There's been millions of Ninja Turtles toys with the different colored masks and designs from the cartoons. It's about time we finally get comic accurate versions.

The only thing I don't like about them is that they look like Bobbleheads.

I wonder if they'll make a Usagi Yojimbo comic figure.

BUMP!

Yes, this is an intentional Double-post!


I'm trying to save it from dying a slow death down the recesses of GD...
...also, just seeing if Ktulu has any new info!

http://www.gijoeclub.com/

You can see a bunch of Joe previews there if you want to look through it

Cool, Thanks.
So they're bringing out 3 Vehicles:
Cobra Hiss w/Cobra Driver
G.I. Joe A.W.E Striker w/Crankcase
G.I. Joe Night Specter w/Grand Slam - I used to have the v1. S.H.A.R.C w/Deep Six.

Depending on the price, The Cobra H.I.S.S is probably the only one I'll get unless they bring out the v1 S.H.A.R.C version.


I just remembered another toy line I used to get as a kid.
Do you guys remember the original M.U.S.C.L.E (Kinikuman) figures?
I used to have a bunch, but now I only have one that I found when I moved. I painted it and turned it into a Key Chain.

Or how about Monster In My Pocket?
I had a few of those too. My favorite figure of my collection was The Hunchback. As most of my toys as a kid, I don't have any of them left.
They're all probably buried somewhere all around my old house. :notgood:

i remember monster in my pocket

i liked roc

Well, I've never heard of M.U.S.C.L.E until I read about it on X-E.

I just did a search on X-E to see if I can find that article I read and came across this article instead: http://www.x-entertainment.com/messages/musc.html

LOL

I went from the 4-pack straight to the 28 pack.
Now I just have 1.

RAMChYLD has the right idea. X-Entertainment is your one stop shop for all 80's toy nostalgia.

I'm not as connected to the community as I used to be, but the content is usually top notch. Matt Caracappa owns the interwebz.

BUMP!!!





I might as well bump this to show all the Legendary Comic Book Heroes Series:


This is the Pitt series which includes: Ripclaw, Witchblade, Super Patriot, Savage Dragon, Madman (Freakazoid is a ripoff of Madman) , and Judge Dread.
Each figure contains an additional piece for a bigger figure - in this case Pitt w/ Timmy.

So far, I have them all except Ripclaw and Judge Dread. Hopefully I'll find them. If not, I'll try and find the individual Pitt pieces on Ebay - It's pretty much why I'm collecting them in the first place.




This is the 2nd line, The Monkeyman series.
This set includes: Star, The Darkness, Stryker, Ann O'Brian, Marv, Madman v2, and Judge Death.

Just like the Pitt series, each figure contains a piece to build Ann's partner Monkeyman.

http://i208.photobucket.com/albums/bb240/vastalis/AnnOBrienVariant.jpghttp://i208.photobucket.com/albums/bb240/vastalis/JudgeDeathVariant.jpg
This series contains 2 figure with variants. Ann O'Brian, and Judge Death.
I have both Judge Deaths, only 'cause I found them on clearance.
If you look at O'Brian, she closely resembles Jillian Anderson from X-Files.

What sucks is that I like the Monkeyman figures more, but Pitt is one of my favorite characters.
What to do!?

The next series are 2 double-packs:


Body Bags: Clownface and Panda

and


Conan vs. Wrarrl

I would love to get both sets, but as of now, they're pretty expensive so I'm willing to wait.


After seeing the level of detail they put for these figures - almost as good as McFarlane Toys, I can't wait to see what other figures they come out with.

RAMChYLD has the right idea. X-Entertainment is your one stop shop for all 80's toy nostalgia.

Same. I was never that connected in the community, but no doubt I used to stop by often during my college years a lot just to read up on the articles and have a good laugh. Admittingly, I stop by less now, but when I do, I usually spend quite some time catching up.

I've been wanting those myself Vastalis but I've not felt like spending 10 a piece on them. I only have one so far. They're not hard to find here. I'm hoping they'll go to clearance or something.

Cool thread Ndi ;). I've been a toy collector for the past ten years (mostly just anime toys though).

I always wondered though if I'm one of the only ones who opens them, but puts them on display on her shelves :p. I don't intend on selling them anyway. My best friend Angela (she's 25) does the same thing.

Also I've been looking for this Moby Dick Rebecca Chambers action figure from Resident Evil. It's soooooo rare, I've seen it on ebay go up to $300 :eek:!

Not by a long shot

i opened all my transformers

Oh man, you're gonna hate me when I tell you this!

I went to Walmart today, and I just snagged:
Super Patriot masked variant.
Savage Dragon "wife beater" variant
Madman - I got it for my nephew.
Witchblade - Got this 'cause it includes Pitt's upper torso which alone looks like a bust.
and
Judge Dread

for $5 bucks each!!!

Now I only need Ripclaw and I'll complete the set! :D

I would've sold them out just so I can get the Pitt pieces and give the figures to my nephew, but I also had to buy some Motor Oil and Power Steering Fluid. :rolleyes:

I left them with a Super Patriot unmasked variant, 2 Savage Dragons - both variants, and a Madman.

Not by a long shot

Sweet deal :D.

Lol I've known a lot of people who would look at me weird and keep asking me "Why'd you open it!? o__0!?"; for example that was my friend Charessa when we were at AX last year. That was when I bought the new FFVIII Squall action figure.

Sweet deal .

I removed the tags of my Care Bears and give them all a hug before putting them into storage.

Sweet deal :D.

I was like that too.

My friends and I would snag all kinds of collectables, and when we got home, we would look at our stash and fight the temptation to open them.
One time my friend actually did, and I was like "You're stupid, you know how much that's worth".
He's like: "Hey, it's not like we're trying to make a profit with the stuff we collect. We're fans, and I don't know about you, but I'm never gonna sell my stuff"!

We always talk about this, and it made me question my reason for collecting stuff.
I started collecting because I was a fan, and I wanted stuff that I thought was cool to have.
As time went on, I met a friend who was a true collector, and after I described my collections, he began telling me that they were worth money, and showed me some price guides. I was in shock, because my stuff was worth about $500 - $600 bucks. This soon turned me from collecting stuff that I like, to collecting stuff that's worth money - regardless whether I liked it or not.
Finally, I started looking at my collection, and began wondering: "Why the hell do I even have half of this stuff, I don't even like most of this crap"
So I began trading stuff at conventions.
I've traded most of the crap except for the stuff I shelled out a lot of money for.
I'm not gonna let someone get a bargain on me.

Now we know where all the Joes are being shipped to

NDI WHERE ARE ALL THE PONY POSTS

I feel silly posting a bunch of stuff because no one else here is into them!

Merl got me a new pony the other day but I haven't opened it yet because I am not sure where I want to put it. It is cute though!

Here's pics of my new FFVII action figures that came in the mail yesterday.

I feel silly posting a bunch of stuff because no one else here is into them!


NDI THAT IS BS - POST STUFF ABOUT PONIES

Stealin' an ebay pic so you can see the pony- she is not on the Hasbro site for some reason.



One of the Valentine's Day ponies this year is a unicorn so I really want to get it, but I never seem to see the Valentine's ones in stores. They're way harder to get than any of the other holiday ponies.

Eh, I was into ponies. Specifically, I was into Megan. I found her HAWT :naughty: . It's too bad none of the toys look like she looked in the TV series. Otherwise I would've at least one by now.

Haha, I loved Megan too. I still have the Sundance from the Megan and Sundance set, but no Megan. I want to rehair her though, because pink pony hair ages alot over 20+ years. ; ;

I always see holiday day themed toys at grocery stores and drug stores more than I do at places like Wal-Mart/TRU, do you look there Ndi?

I hear that from a lot of people, but I never see them there! I think it must just be the area I'm in.

For a while every supermarket/drugstore had at least one of the same pony. I wonder if Massachusetts just got a crazy surplus of that one pony or something.

That happens! People always say "LOL THAT TOY SUCKS IT NEVER SOLD" and others are liek "uhhhhh it never even came here" - distribution of toys just varies from place to place, it's really weird

Like that picture I posted with the GI Joes. Those are relatively scarce usually, but at that one Wal-Mart it's like WHOAAAA

I agree with Ktulu. But outside the US, it's usually at a macro level, sometimes nationwide. You'd be lucky if you can find one store carrying a few Care Bears over here in Malaysia, while they're in available in abundance in neighboring Singapore (how do I get my Care Bears? eBay).

I collect action figures, but I suppose that's not the purpose behind this thread. All I know is that I turn to http://www.action-figure.com/ http://toynewsi.com/ and http://www.superherotimes.com/ for news, http://www.mcfarlane.com/ for discussion, and http://www.cornerstorecomics.com/ for purchases. I just thought I'd share, I have no affiliation with them. ^__^

Toys in general are the purpose of the thread

They'll cover the action figures at Toy Fair there

Thanks to you Ktulu, my memories of good ol' Bucky have came back ;).

Yeah I still have some of them actually, I know the Bucky O'Hare itself is in this old football chest I had as a kid, stowed away in some back room of our house

I had the toad air marshall and my brother had dead eye duck

I thought I'd post a few note-worthy toys of mine.

Here's 2-D standing in front of my Demon Days vinyl records

Some classic Movie Maniacs

Bender. Fry is somewhere in my closet.

My new Final Fantasy VII Play Arts

Some of you may have seen my custom Bumble Bee

Transformers glamor shot.


Much of my Final Fantasy collection


Super Mario alarm clock radio

Me giving the thumbs up

Some of my Final Fantasy figures being silly

I consider my car to be my toy

Some more Transformers

Marvin Straight, those are cool pics and that's a cool FF figure collection you've got ;). I did take some new pics of some of my FF action figure collection which I'll be getting up soon.

And you pig. You've got the Selphie figure doing the robot. lol XD.

And you pig. You've got the Selphie figure doing the robot. lol XD.

lol. I'm sorry. Was there another Final Fantasy girl you would like to see me hook up with another Transformer? Perhaps Tifa and Barricade? Or maybe Rinoa and Ironhide? I don't have the 2 figures, but if I did I'd hook up Vaan from Final Fantasy XII and C-3PO from Star Wars.

Good stuff Marv Skraight, we should have a pajama party and play with toys all night sexpot

Good stuff Marv Skraight, we should have a pajama party and play with toys all night sexpot

I AM HEREBY INVITING MYSELF

ps ill take pictures of my toys later

i have a box of g1 toys i grew up with

I'm down for the pajama toy party. Penguin, you are moar then welcome to show up. While we're at it, we should all build forts. I'll bring chocolate milk.

And you pig. You've got the Selphie figure doing the robot. lol XD.

He took those for ME. I was a very happy customer. Unfortunately, I only have 08 Bumblebee, so I can't recreate it myself ;_;;

I just bit the bullet and finally ordered my very first My Little Pony:

This is a stock pic from the seller's eBay store page, I'll take pics once it arrives.

All those videos on it on Youtube managed to convince me into buying it. Looks so cute with it singing and all. Too bad most of the videos were foreign language versions (I've extracted the audio for the clip with the German version of the toy singing Dance Dance Dance, because it's damn funny if you mondegreen the song into English).

As soon as I get around to cleaning my room (which isn't any time soon, I'll clean it later... Later-Later), I'll post up my collection of stuff, from toys to comic, Resin kits to Car models, and even Die-cast cars from 1:64 to 1:24.

Starscream wearing flip flops FTW.

It finally arrived. Pretty fast, took only two weeks.


The obligatory ponybutt shot:


Pictures of my room? Well, I already took them, but I have them on private mode in Flickr. Maybe when I have the time to sort through what I want to make public.

Lovely ^^.

Now the ponybutt looks especially cool with the dress hehe XD.

Just ordered these:

That whore Selphie just couldn't keep her paws off of poor Bumblebee.
I'm lusting over that epic Diablos fig. I only wish I had the gumption to have purchased said fig back at Mediaplay when it and the Odin GF figs were popping in and out.

Marc are you planning on getting liek all Revoltechs or just the Eva stuff (which is most of them) or what

Marc are you planning on getting liek all Revoltechs or just the Eva stuff (which is most of them) or what

Just Eva and Transformers Revoltech.

BBTS was sold out of Optimus and Megatron though.

So I got Unit 00 and Unit 02 instead.

I got the new Easter ponies yesterday and I am so excited to open them!

I have to start getting ready for a doctor's appointment soon, but I'll track down some pictures to edit in when I get back. :) If I forget to, poke me!

Don't give BBTS your money, they're hoarders/scalpers and are often over priced, especially on shipping

Go to hlj.com IMO

They currently have Megatron in stock - roughly 19 dollars (1900 yen)

Shamelessly heisted photo of the Easter Ponies:



Congrats on getting a pony, RAMChYLD. :) What is her dancing like? I haven't ever seen her out of the box.

Do you act out scenarios with your ponies Ndi

I was looking at hlj!

No Optimus though?

I ordered from BBTS because I figured the shipping would be cheaper, the eva figures themselves were only $20. US moneys tho so probably like $25.

I will give hlj.com another look now.

ongrats on getting a pony, RAMChYLD. What is her dancing like? I haven't ever seen her out of the box.
Well, she doesn't really dance (as those videos on youtube will tell you). Apparently, Hasbro's definition of dancing is "choreographed movement of mouth, head, tail and occasionally, the skirt". So yeah, all she does is just stand there, sing, turns her head every so often, move her tail and shakes her skirt every now and then. I bought it more for the musical enjoyment than for the dancing tho, so it's good. (I really liked all the songs I saw on the German version featured on Youtube and was curious about how the songs are like in English, if they are the same songs at all).

I just mean in general, BBTS has a lot of shit prices and bad practices!

The Megatron is 19/20 at HLJ and 25 at BBTS jftr - and when they restock they do "early bird specials" where if you pre-order then you get them for like only 16 or 17

Nope. :( We never seem to get Valentines ponies here. They're usually really cute too.

All the other holiday ponies show up no problem at least. :)

Are those them there reasonably priced? What are ponies supposed to cost? I assume it's less than 10 a piece right?

No, they're definitely marked up.

Ponies cost $5 a piece. Every once in a while, one will be a little cheaper (Family Dollar ponies are $3), and sometimes they have ponies that come with a bunch of extras that are marked up, but those particular ponies sold for $5 each.

Holiday ponies getting marked up on ebay is nothing new, though. =/

And the auction is all "Buy it Now and save!" luls :(

All the stuff I collect is always heavily marked up on ebay too

:( (http://www.bigbadtoystore.com/bbts/product.aspx?product=LGO10029&mode=retail)

Also as soon as Masterpiece Starscream showed up at US Retail - for 50 dollars, they ended up on BBTS for......100 dollars, wee! I actually e-mailed them asking what the fuck they were scalping that shit for and they were just liek "WOT R U TALKIN ABOOT"

I remember those, except mine looked like a certian Grandprix track I can't remember the name of.


Actually I was a few years ago collecting those Highway35 hotwheels.

If anyone can find cars #3,5,7,10,11,12,18,23,,25,30,31,32,

Please let me know.

I had all but #3 at one time but my little sister in a fit of rage when I was at work opened them all up through most of them out the second story window and chipped the hell out of them.

I even had the Zed 36 car, and a car #8 with the gold painted sides that are stupid rare. as in like worth $200. but she was smart enough NOT to destroy those, I just sold them because I needed the money.

S

I knew they loved my sister more. Why I always get the blame when she does something wrong (yeah, explains a lot on how I ended up the way I am now).

Then again? What's a car city carpet? My household never had carpets (marble floors).

Thank you, I take full credit

man ktulu you did a nice job on those sculpts

I know, right?!

revoltech hotrodimus or starscream ktulu

which do you prefer?

Penguin, I want to live in your room.

My mini-figures:


The Big O (A wonderful set by the masters at Kotobukiya.)
Final Fantasy IX
The Lord of the Rings
Lupin III (...I need more Lupin toys.)

My plushies (because every girl needs them):


Those Sonic dolls are really old...I'm surprised they haven't disintegrated by now.

Anyway, I have a few McFarlane sets as well but they're all boxed up in my closet at the moment. When I get some more shelf space I'll set them up.

Penguin, I want to live in your room.

You should see Ktulu's room.

MachineScreams why the fuck is Tails bigger than Sonic

Hay Pengoon I would go for Rodimus over Starscream

Those Sonic dolls are really old...I'm surprised they haven't disintegrated by now.
Good quality plushies can really last. I have a plush dog from when I'm born (which is roughly 26 years ago), and it's still mostly solid (except that it's been practically ripped apart and put together again a few times in it's life, and it's cotton stuffings has become very stiff).

I also have a couple of Sonic plushies that I need too get pics of ^.^. I also used to have that same Tails one.

Oh here are some of my Resident Evil toys.





Of course you can see some of the FFVII statues in the back and the Cowboy Bebop toys in the back XD.

Why is the licker going for Leon's crotch

Coz Leon is hot..

(http://imageshack.us)

Lol you guys are silly XD.

Seriously though because the Leon figure couldn't stand up on it's own and I was trying to place the two figures together since they both came in the same package (like Jill with the spider figure and Claire with the zombie figure). I was also trying to keep the gun pointed at the Licker.

Yeah. He wouldnt be able to hold his shotgun with one hand either. If he could, im sure RE2 woulda be easier. Coz he could have had a handgun in there. :p

Lol yeah XD. Too bad ToyBiz made the figure like that :rolleyes: XD.

*Sigh* I used to have quite an admirable RE toy collection, now all I have is my Mr. Redfield figure :swoon: BTW, who's the chick sitting on the barrel in your RE/FF toy collection Dot?

*Sigh* I used to have quite an admirable RE toy collection, now all I have is my Mr. Redfield figure :swoon: BTW, who's the chick sitting on the barrel in your RE/FF toy collection Dot?

Oh that's Ashley Graham from RE4. I decided to buy a box of the RE4 mini figure sereis 2 where you don't know which figure you're going to get and wouldn't you know it, I got Ashley Graham ><. I'm glad you like the collection though ^^.

Lol you guys are silly XD.

I have all those :D

Dot, take a pic where one of your Chris figures is accosting the Tifa one :D

Oh since Misty had picks of his Evangelion figures, now I gotta start getting pics up of my Evangelion toys XD. I have a lot, but no pics yet.


Dot, take a pic where one of your Chris figures is accosting the Tifa one :D

Haha that'd be funny XD! Or one where Chris is doing that to Jill or Leon to Claire :naughty:. Marvin straight did something similar with his Transformer figure and Selphie.



the REALLY happy couple




I have all those :D

Nice ^^. Yeah my friend Angela has almost all of them too. I hope to track them down on ebay and collect them all one day ;). I also wanna get the newer RE4 Ada Wong figure.

This is an old shitty picture of my Transformers Armada collection. Not anywhere near all of my Transformers mind you, this is just one series



Luls they barely fit on that table and they're so crammed in you can barely tell them all apart :o There's at least 40 or so figures there though. It's also just a bad picture, I need to take a better one of all my stuffs

Lol that's okay XD. Pretty cool collection though ;). If I gathered all my toys together, I betcha I couldn't even walk in my room which isn't too good :/.

Selphie is such a jezebelle!

That pic was made SPECIFICALLY for ME!!!!!!

They really do. I still have the Care Bear collection that my mother started for me when I was born. Most of them are over twenty years old but are still in perfect condition. The only one that shows any real signs of aging is my Bright Heart doll. I loved that freakin' raccoon...

I also used to have an impressive collection of Pound Puppies. I have no idea what happened to them though. :\




Hey, Dot. Who manufactured the Dr. Salvador mini-figure? I must have him!

He's made by Agatsuma Entertainment

They just don't make them like they used to. I just noticed peeling paint on the eyes of my Jumbo Cheer Bear this morning (it's the new 2007 model, barely a few months old). Either that or it can't take the high humidity climate >.>

My toys:

My "babies" (computers) on the east corner of my room. Pretty much most of them are hand-me-downs upgraded like mad and/or had been my main machine at one point in time.


A majority of my Care Bears stuff fits into these two cubbyholes in my new cupboard.

Top hole holds the first 10 Care Bears (2004 Play Along Toys reissue however, 5 talking and 5 non-talking), all 3 2007-reissued sing-along pals, a smart check-up Tenderheart and a Share-A-Story Share Bear.

Second hole holds all 15 (according to Play-Along Toys' collectors list) 2007-reissued bears in beanie forms, and 6 cousins (Loyal Heart Dog, Proud Heart Cat, Gentle Heart Lamb, Brave Heart Lion, Lotsa Heart Elephant and Swiftheart Rabbit) in various sizes (Loyal Heart, Proud Heart, Brave Heart and Lotsa Heart are 13", Gentle Heart is 10" and Swift Heart is 8").


Strawberryland! I have beanies of most of the characters (made by Kellytoy) and their pets (made by Ban-Dai), 13" Custard and Pupcake plushes (both by Kellytoy), two talking Strawberries (by Ban-Dai), a talking voice-recognition enabled Apple-Dumplin (by Ban-Dai), Honey Pie, Orange Twist and Milkshake fillies (by Kellytoy), and a talking Spot the Dog plush by Kids Gift thrown in for good measure.


The main space of the cupboard is occupied by various ride-on toys (including a talking and singing Lumpy the Heffalump rocker without the rocking base buried somewhere inside), a Squawkers Macaw, A large Spot plush, the Sing and Dance Pinkie Pie, a large plush Clifford that barks.


The cupboards. What you saw inside was the cupboard to the left. The one to the right holds way more plushies inside. It wouldn't be wise to open it as the plushies might pour out in an avalanche.

Top of the cupboards. Yes, DDR:SSC dance mat. Yes, Powertouch. Yes, Genesis clone. Yes, dead PSOne.


My bed, yarly, seriously. I sleep with jumbo Spot, Cheer Bear, Share Bear and Strawberry Shortcake plushies. The gargantuan Strawberry, tho, usually sleeps on the chair in front of my computers :P

And yes, Baby Strawberry Shortcake mobile. The reason for that being there is rather twisted, complicated, and involves my aunt failing to record the premiere airing of a new episode of the show for me.


My 26-year-old wonder plush, grubby ol' Rufferto "Ruff" Aniandres XXVIII.


The Strawberry Shortcake Sweet Talk Playset. I got part of it locally, but had to eBay the rest in from the UK. It's a RFID-based toy that is capable of detecting whatever related action figures you place on the base and trigger the appropriate voice clips.


A wider view. Yes, I was (and still somewhat) collecting Tuneyville Choo-Choos. Started about a year ago.


DS, meet V.Smile.


More ride on toys, an Actimates D.W. (excellent alarm clock, that), a Care Bears musical box, and a V.Tech Sort & Learn Van that I felt inclined to buy because of that cute puppy on it.


The Aero-RAMChYLD Imperial. Picked it up cheap, but the music box has been changed from the Spot one to a generic one that plays "Where oh where has my little dog gone".


A Furreal Friends Butterscotch Pony. Because I can't resist a large robotic pony that I can ride on. Too bad it's legs can't really move tho.

So I ordered Disney's "Sleeping Beauty" off of Amazon the other day (and received it much quicker than I thought ;)) I began to ponder on the whereabouts of the Dragon Maleficent plush-doll I purchased sometime ago back at Disneyland around '00 or '01.

So...since my parents went to their usual party spot for the weekend; Wendover (or as we call it "Poor man's Las Vegas") I decided to do some detective work. I went upstairs into the crawlspace and upon initial inspection I was apalled to find my Dragon Maleficent plushdoll ontop of a crudely packed gateway box, with no protection from heat, or water-damage at all.







I was a little miffed since that thing cost me like $30-50 at the Disney toy store at Disneyland. Luckily though the most damage was dust spots, some hairs, and nothing too serious.

Also during my inspection I came across my old VR-Troopers canine plushie pal "Jeb", who says things like "Atta boy", and "Virtual Reality is cool." I got him at a KB Toys in California (I swear that's where all of the rarest toys are found :()



Lastly, aside from a large collection of closet bunnies (that looked like roadkill from years of cramped boxed contortion and neglect) I came across these!



My Nintendo Promotional beanies that Babages (Now Gamestop) was selling for a while back in '98 or '99 (either a Smash Brothers or N-64 promotion idk). I think I have them all unless they came out with a Luigi or a Toad plushie (but honestly, who cares about Luigi anyway?)


Look at him fly!






Bowser using sumo moves on Mario ftw!


The Gang easily gets wasted on cheap store-brand imitation Cola.


Going through the box of stuffed animals really brought back a shitload of memories. I remember now that I had a pretty big bunny collection, which is even bigger now (with the inclusion of my Skelanimals :)). I really hate it when parents take it on their own to go and box all your shit up and throw it away in a dark corner in an attic somewhere only to be neglected, and eventually forgotten about for decades (which is what happened to my stuff :().

I may as well show off Jack, and my other skelanimals buddies.


(Left to Right: Jack, Diego, and Shadow Jack :D)


Jack-San is such a poseur

Maybe it's just me but I find those Skelanimals plushies to be fuckin adorable. Whenever I go to Hot Topic at the mall they always seem to introduce a new skelanimal pal (last time it was either a cat or a monkey). This last X-mas really sucked shopping wise, because I had to choose between Shadow-Jack, or a set of Skelanimals tree ornaments. I'm glad I went with Shadow Jack, you can't hug a tree ornament when you're feeling like an emofag :love:

At FFS, we are nerdcore
Indeed. You frighten me with your hardcore nerdcore.:shock:

Haha Ill have to get all mine together and take a load of photos,

The only thing that im missing which I really want is a set of the sailor scout figurines but they dont sell em anywhere near me :(

We need this thread pinned.

That pic was made SPECIFICALLY for ME!!!!!!

Here's a vid: http://ca.youtube.com/watch?v=kPJHqmkucAM

Manaphy!!! <3<3<3!!!

I want this, yo



I'll look at Target tomorrow. Only rely on eBay as last ditch effort, and such~

I have not been buying much these days just because of lack of room, but I am trying to figure out something because there is so much awesome that I want.

I was torn over whether these belonged in the transformers thread or the toy thread, but I had plenty of other stuff to post in this thread too so I figured I'd do it all at once.

Marvel Transformers Crossovers!







There's a hulk one in this wave too, but I am not really interested in it so not posting. If someone else thinks it is cool they can post. I am really curious to see what characters they might come out with in the future, though.



Mighty Muggs are also pretty much the cutest things ever and I really want some. ; ; If I see Wolverine or Lando in stores, I am pretty much grabbing them on site. ^^



I am pretty disapointed with the regular Dark Knight movie figures, but there is some other Batverse stuff coming out I am pretty psyched about.



There is a nice Nightwing figure coming out in that wave too. Trying not to post too many pics because I don't think many people here care about Batfamily stuffs. ; ;

I also keep seeing a Red Tornado figure from that line that I really like, but I want Young Justice figures for him to hang out with!

And of course, since this is a Ndi post, ponies~



This is the only one I feel really BUY ON SIGHT about right now, but she hasn't showed up in my stores yet. Here are some others I will probably pick up!

I will stop for now before I turn this page into *too* much 56k death. Someday I will find a way to make room and have the money for everything I want. SOMEDAY.

is it ok to post pictures of toys even if there are scarse and overshadowed by videogame boxes?

Ndi that Venom transformer is awesome.

Ndi that Venom transformer is awesome.

No it isn't.

The iron man one is the best one there.

B-But I like Venom... =(

Ndi that Venom transformer is awesome.



He has my favorite transformation, I think!

I've thought since they were first shown the Marvel TFs look a lot better than the Star Wars ones in general, they have better robot modes by far

Didn't find the the Dawn figure, but they had 6! Brocks! They even had both variants! I so would have snagged the one with Croagunk if I wasn't after TF animated figures :)

You can see my voyager class Bulkhead here (http://forums.ffshrine.org/showpost.php?p=1088493&postcount=3173) and here (http://forums.ffshrine.org/showpost.php?p=1088502&postcount=3175).

Double Post, mang~

I got her!!!!!!



Here she is with Buneary!



Here she is relaxing =)



Here she is with my new Pokeball!




I saw the Wolverine Marvel Muggs, too!

Mighty Muggs are the best thing ever. I wish I could afford to collect all of them

Semi zombie thread. Needs moar posts

My SSC-mania has definitely got the better of me:

Me with a pile of jumbo plushes!

ACK!

Why did you post?

because i felt like it.

Let's nerd this shit out

GI Joe Combat Heroes, same line as Galactic/Robot Heroes and Superhero Squad from Hasbro. I think these are some of the best of the whole line

that Stormshadow is epic.

I've already got the first one they put out - Snake Eyes and Timber, from SDCC. It's pretty cool. I'll definitely be getting the rest. THEY SEEM SO INNOCENT WITH THEIR 5-6 DOLLAR PRICE TAG.

I believe those are wave 2, I'll have to dig up pictures of the first set.

Hasbro really has me by the balls. I wanna collect those, the Marvel ones, the TF ones, the Mighty Muggs of all three properties, the regular figures of all three properties....etc etc etc

I should buy stock in their company

So I am almost thinking about buying some joes.

Goddamn it.

:(

I WANT EVERYTHING

Man I used to have these 3 GI Joes that I took everywhere.. I had no idea how many people actually collected toys. It's not surprising, and actually kind of cool.. If I ever start collecting I'd probably go with hotwheels.

I WANT EVERYTHING

LET'S BUY STOCK

I completed da Ares Build-A-Figure from the recent Wal-Mart exclusive Marvel Legends wave

BUT WHO CARES

And I summon..... CAPTAIN CONTRIBUTION http://www.wowwee.com/products_robotics.php

Prty neat

I dids some photos with my favorite Snake Eyes figure - an update of my favorite one from the 80s line :D















And with the 80s counterpart:





I want a better camera :( I have some fucking Uniden camera. Uniden is a phone company. What? The pictures are always blurry to some degree so I have to sharpen a lot and it's kinda obvious :o

omg :swoon:

ktulu man

i just figured out snake eyes is posed on a bunch of oven trays

Yep, is this discovery good or bad

he looks like hes in some sort of burnt out warehouse or some shit

I figure it's more interesting than HERE IS A WHITE PIECE OF BOARD esque backgrounds, and better than the weird kitchen shit like jars and dishes that would actually be there otherwise

I have unopened Legend of Dragoon action figures in my wardrobe

I hope they're worth something :S

I honestly don't know Lukey :o

I just put a toy on eBay for the first time, YAY. Mighty Muggs movie Iron Man. I hope it sells :(

I never got my Pete Wentz doll.

GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR.

Is this thread serious? you guys really play with these dolls? =O or are they just sitting somewhere as decoration?

What dolls are you referring to?

The ones at Hot-Diggity-Doll, they have all the dolls.

Never got my Plusle and Minun, either, BUT THAT'S ANOTHER STORY ALTOGETHER.

Yay that's pretty cool

BTW that Iron Man sold for like 40 bucks :D

I still need to buy Iron Man :o

Do I dare buy Donatello if I see him? Maybe~

This too :D

I'd like to think that the TF and Joe anniversary lines have helped kick start this. TRENDS.

There's He-Man going on as well. The new Skeletor goes on sale tomorrow. Too expensive for me though.
