What Else Do You Collect?

[at543]

Yes they do! Puro figures from Charapro are wonderfully detailed and painted, but they lack articulation because they were designed to pose a certain way. Each wrestler has a pose of their own.

Ultimo Dragon has the same sculpt, but several paint variations. Here, is a review done on Ultimo's red costume:



There is also a sparkling blue variant.

Mitsuhara Misawa has gone up in asking price, since he passed away. The most recent mold of Misawa has him posed with his ring robe. There's also a two-pack set with him and Keiji Mutoh:




If you prefer HIroshi Tanahashi of today, unfortunately the most recent figure of him was during his earlier years when he wore red trunks and white boots:



If you're interested in collecting puro figures of your favorite wrestlers, I recommend shopping on ebay. My favorite seller is coloradorocket. He lists items periodically, so check back on him from time to time. There are also some sellers from Japan. Due to the rarity of some popular wrestlers, they can go up to $30-$50 loose, a tad more for those that are sealed.

I'll be happy to share some photos of the wrestlers I have, if you're interested.

So I got a Sandtrooper for a decent price.


Definitely not the droids I was looking for.

[MekaGojira3k]

Wow, this thread has been neglected BUUUT
I got these two for 8.00, which I think is a great deal.


Alsooo

Every once in a while if I see an original USS Enterprise item or one from the movies, I'll jump on it. Just love that ship.

[Shin_Edda_Robo!!!!!]

Woah! I see you've been the Combiner Wars Bug MG3K! I got mine during the weekend!

Waiting for the other Stunticons and Aerialbots!

My first DB Figuart. It's kind of awful that I kept putting off re-watching the show until now (I've been planning to for YEARS), because now everything is crazy expensive.
Luckily a local shop has a couple for MUCH cheaper than they are going online (Krillen, Piccolo). I'd like to find an Android 17 to go with the 18, but I've given up on anything else from before. At the same time, I might track down some of the DBZ toys I wanted as a kid but could never find.

[Baltan II]

Man... do they have another 18 and Krillin while you're at it?

[MekaGojira3k]

[MekaGojira3k]

Oh, and a crappy pic of Bossk

Luckily I got 10 dollars off on these yesterday. So woo! for that. I imagine they don't reissue these DBZ figures all that much, right? I saw in Diamond they were offering SSJ Goku, so I may order him from my comic shop.

[Baltan II]

Much like half the MonsterArts, almost the entirety of the Dragonball Figuarts line is made up of Tamashii Web Exclusives, so they basically NEVER get reissued. Only SS Goku, Piccolo and soon Gohan have been reissued.

I'm still tempted to ask if you'd be so kind as to middleman those two, but that's also over half the cost of Mecha KG. Stupid fiscal responsibilities.

I got into collecting Funko's Mystery Mini Science Fiction figures. I chose to stop buying these blind boxes as soon as I got the martian from Mars Attacks.

[MekaGojira3k]

oooh, I want the Metaluna Mutant and Robbie the Robot

Oh, and I found some Jurassic World stuff...it was the only thing in the store that wasn't LEGO. Well, there were the hand puppets but they look awful.

Here's a comparison with the AMAZING Allosaurus from the JP 3-D line back in 2013


So, Indominus isn't awful. For 20.00, he's actually decent. He comes with a tiny man and one of the pods from the movie (although I keep calling it a Trouble Bubble...but G.I. Joe this is not). Anyhow, the sculpt is decent he has a biting attack and a slight kind of thrashing attack (like the Allosaurus from the 3-D line). It doesn't work all that well, but whatevs. Sure, the best scenario would be to get stuff like we did in 2013 (I still kind of hope the movie/toyline is a smash hit and Hasbro offers the remaining 2 dinos from that as an exclusive somewhere). The hollow plastic kind of reminds me of the electronic dinos, but it works well here. No electronics, but there's a springloaded dino-damage gimmick which I think is kind of inspired. The attached piece from the 3-D one is cool, but this allows for quick exposure if you were say, well...the age these are meant for and fighting. The blood around the I-Rex's mouth is sloppy as hell, but I can live with it. Especially since the finer details on the eyes worked out well.

All around I think this is better than JP3's stuff.

Except the Tapejara. I loved that toy.

[MekaGojira3k]

I got another JW toy


Also got Marvel Legends AOU Captain America and Batroc

[MekaGojira3k]

Got the big I-Rex, here's a photo of him with his other large Jurassic Park cousins. (Unfortunately what's left of my JP T-Rex was thrown away by my father)


Also, CLEVER GURLLLL

[at543]

That first pic is really cool! I never thought Gorosaurus and V-Rex would naturally blend with the group.

[jellydonut25]

Jurassic Dinos are girls, homeboy. Her, she, etc.

[MekaGojira3k]

[MekaGojira3k]

Got the Figma Guyver. I'm a little displeased with the head articulation, but it's cool so have a Guyver figure after all of these years.

[MekaGojira3k]

More Dragon Ball stuff


wOO!

Found Android 17 on vacation for 40.00, so that was pretty great.
