The arms look to big for the body but I can live with it. Anyone have any Strom figures, what the quality?
 
don’t collect action figures or anything, but i grabbed this Ghost Rider figure, still in box, for only $5 at a vintage pop up

idk anything about its actual value, condition or quality, but it’s a nice compliment to my Nicolas Cage movie collection
 
Was watching some collections on YouTube. Some people have entire rooms with display cases, completely filled with statues/toys.

They are almost like museums.

I’m a minimalist, collecting inanimate objects seems like a second job.

Each to their own!
 
I was feeling really bad about myself until I saw this thread. Anytime I'm feeling down about getting divorced I will come in here and be able to say, "at least I don't collect toys".

Thanks guys.
One point off for a low blow, bro. ;)
There are a few of us who can get away with collecting action figures & still be somewhat manly you know.
It's a tough thing to pull off but as long as I keep my superheroes & monsters stored away in favor of displaying my near-complete line of UFC figures. I can manage it though. LOL.
Seriously though, I still add the occasional new addition to my collections but I'm mostly just sitting on what I've got & watching their value go up. Although I did sell off about a third of my collection before moving to Arizona last summer. I got rid of some of my bigger investment pieces so I wouldn't have to worry about them being damaged during the move & I made a nice chunk of cash off of them.

I was just giving you guys shit, I'm an avid tabletop wargamer and probably have 100k worth of just Warhammer fantasy models.

100K? Now that's some serious nerdiness, bro! <Eek2.0>
I'll bet they look awesome though.
I had a full line of 1960s Aurora Universal monster models but those are a part of what I sold before our move. I could've made a lot more from them at an auction but I didn't leave myself enough time to go that route so I took a bit of a bath by selling them to a dealer but I made a bit of a profit from what I originally paid for them years ago.

I used to do commission paint jobs and one of my best clients was a store owner that liked to pay in store credit. So I have. Garage full of Warhammer, Warhammer 40k, warmachine/hordes, infinity, and more.

That looks great! Still in the box too! I'm not sure of the value, but as long as you like it, then that's what counts the most to me. I hope this is the start of a great time for you!

Very cool. Painting is a talent that I never acquired. However, my mother was an absolute artist at it so while she was alive I'd assemble & she'd paint them for me. So I know how painstaking a process it can be & the talent required to do a good job.

Funk Warhammer! I need a freaking slide-rule and a graphing calculator to play that game!

I'm sticking to Heroclix! :)

Storm Street Fighter figures look good and I think there are some youtube reviews.

I can't buy any Toy Biz old stuff that looks so crude compared to modern Hasbro Marvel Legends. I still have one Toy Biz Gambit from Kay Bee Toys unopened and it looks like shit compared to the recent Hasbro Gambit.
 
I saw a rumor saying new 6" G.I Joe Classified Wave 1 will consist of:

Snake Eyes
Duke
Scarlet
Roadblock
Destro

I will need at least Snake Eyes & Destro. Never had either of the originals.

Storm Collectibles are awesome. I have quite a few of their Street Fighter and Mortal Kombat releases and have nothing but good things to say about them. Their Injustice line looks very promising. I advise watching video reviews on YouTube before making a decision though, especially with figures that cost $90 and up.

Ordered one of these Lego Mando 4 person units... before the scalpers wipe them out and I regret not ordering one.
 
Got the Storm Bane in today and really like. The head is still small the build is quality.
