Well, some of you know I'm a hardcore toy collector. I started with WWE figures and got bored of them when my interest in wrestling waned, and I still buy the odd one if it's particularly good. However, I recently decided it was time to convert my collection over to MMA, despite the fact that the average PRIDE figure costs five times what I pay for teh average WWE figure... That is a bit of a bummer, but when you actually get a likeness of your favourite fighter(s) in your hands, it's amazing.
Those of you who think this insane desire to collect toys linked to my favourite sport is too sad to take, leave the thread now. It;s about to get 'sadder' as I give you reviews of my collection thus far.
Firstly, I want to advise KAKUTO to you all. I bought from them for the first time, and had excellent customer service. I paid by paypal and somehow managed to screw it up with a link back to KAKUTO that I failed to click and it meant they lost the details of my order. A guy there called Roland e-mailed me to ask me exactly what my order was. This impressed me because some sites and some sellers out there would have been happy just to accept the money and either deny they received it or make up some bullshit excuse about it being your own fault. Roland was really helpful and e-mailed me a number of times to confirm my address and to send me the EMS number so I could track the parcel.
Another thing which impressed me, when the parcel arrived, on the Customs note, he'd written "used toy". It sounds trivial, maybe even sounds liek he made a mistake, but the truth of this is that UK Customs are absolute wankers and will charge you excise on just about anything. A friend bought a hoody from the iceman.tv site and had to pay
