wow I didn't know this exsisted within the cgc forum.

I collected video games for many years about 10 years ago and unfortuanantly sold all of them to pay rent.

Always regretted it and have slowly been getting back into it over the last year. No where near the 700+ I use to have but maybe one day (or not with how pricey games have gotten compared to 10 years ago).

Most of my extra money has gone to retro games instead of comics now.

Console list:

Omega CMVS (for playing MVS neo geo games)

Nes

Snes

N64

Sega Saturn

Sega Genesis model 2

Turbografx

Pc Engine Core Grafx

Most of my games are stored in a dresser right now due to all the dog hairs in the apt flying around but heres my collection.

My main focus right now besides Turbografx/Pc Engine is the MVS Neo Geo. Will be moving into a house within the next couple years and then my gf says I can get my hulk 181 of gaming...a neo geo arcade cabinet. Until then I just play on a CMVS.

Also want to venture into the AES of neo geo but wow those prices.

My first Sideshow piece and im blown away with this thig.

Need to mess with the cape some more but here he is.

He isnt leaning, just took pic at a weird angle

 

 

Wow. That's night and day. I had seen the comparison chart, but seeing an actual photo blows me away. The 1/4 are waaaay bigger.

 

My gut has always leaned toward the 1/4 scale, even though there seem to be fewer offerings, they cost more, and they take up more space. But man oh man, those must look frickin' amazing in person.

 

The above is a bad picture, but even the best photos I've seen of pieces I have from people with professional level cameras and picture-taking ability don't capture what I see in front of me. You'll hear "this looks way better in person" over and over, but it's absolutely true.

 

I've been buying statues since around 2002, and had tons of 1/6 scale, and I would recommend 1/4 without question. Less is more with these things. As far as there being fewer offerings, this is changing. 1/4 is basically an industry standard at this point, and more are always coming. That's part of the fun of the hobby for me; anticipating what's next, especially this time of year, since SDCC always brings with it new reveals.

 

 

Thanks for the info and the pics. I'm super excited to dive in, and am looking forward to reveals at SDCC.

 

I'm currently debating the Hot Toys Fett vs. the Premium Format Fett. Both look great. I like the idea of being able to post the HT version, but I'm worried that A) I won't be able to get it just right or B) it'll look like a toy with articulation points.

 

Regardless, I'm sure I'll have my first by Christmas.

or just get both and display them side by side. Hot Toys make the most amazing figures. I've never thought any of mine have looked like toys, the detail is insane

Any of you collect the Hot Toys movie figures? I was big into Bowen Statues back in the day, recently got into these statue/figures and I'm in love. I've got a growing collection of Cap and Ironman.

 

I started collecting about 2 months ago and have 13 Hot Toys now. Still waiting for my 1st sideshow pice to come in, DR Doom

 

I started right around when you did, after I saw the AV2 Cap they are releasing...they one got me hooked. I've got nine Hot Toys now and with the release of the exclusive "Tank" armor, I might make it ten.

 

I really want to pick up the Mark 5 "suitcase" armor but I'm afraid they might do a diecast version and I'd much prefer that. I don't know what to do.

Its addictive. I was set on getting Tank then realized I have Heartbreaker and 5 other Iron Man armors so I think im going to pass.

I also hate the 2 mini Iron Man figures that come with it, looks cool in pictures but im not so sure it would look great in your cabinet.

Aren't they the ones selling hot toys groot and hulk knock offs?

Is there a good statue run being made in the $50 area? I can't afford all these nice ones . I'm collecting the little lead eaglemoss ones but for the hero's I really like I like to splurge a little.

I own some of the Kotobukiya Marvels and for the price they look great, especially the hulk

Great detail on those pieces.

Unfortunately my camera phone isn't the best.

They are such amazing figures though

Just got these in today, very impressive in hand.

Didnt think I would like this set more then the AOU Captain America but wow this set is just so amazing

Preordered with the intentions of having a custom headsculpt. Not a fan of either sculpt.

 

 

 

I like the head sculpt in and of itself, but judging by the pics SST put up, it doesn't really seem to fit the body. Not sure what is off about it. Too big? Something, I dunno. But it's weird.

 

Still, altogether it looks like a really nice piece. I will probably hold off on ordering because I don't care about the exclusive, and with it being a character like Wolvie, the edition size will probably be through the roof.

 

I like it, and will probably order it, but not until after SDCC where we'll get a better look at it, not to mention, at whatever else SS has in store for next year. I tend to halt all pre-ordering/buying until SDCC is finished.

love it, ordered it

Here is my small corner of the room I get next to the cat bed in our apt.

I also get a small closet for all my comics but it's nothing fancy to look at

Yea I was really looking forward too get this statue in this month

looks like a loaf of bread to me as well. I think it looks great still, hoping they make the orange a bit brighter though in the release

Now just gotta wait a year to get this in

 

Yup. Also looking forward to the variant reveal.

Yea, hoping its not just a repaint

Now just gotta wait a year to get this in

Thanks for the info.

How and where can you order XM statues?

Looks weird

 

Yea, I'm not sold. I can't place what it is, but something's not right.

his face needs a lot of reworking.

Has earmuffs on now and the lines in his face arent right, it is just a prototype though so im sure itll get re-done

in case anyone is interested hot toys vision

Red Son Superman up for pre-order now

some new additions

So frustrating that Sideshow is capitalizing on the DD show popularity to continue to solicit the PF DD. They delayed this thing several months and now it appears that they did so just to build support after the TV series. If they're successful, it'll likely mean more delays.

They have to finish producing the fifty different versions of Ironman first.

 

Why are there so many ironman versions?

because people like me buy them

A few more Iron man figures to add

Also just bought one of these off Ebay

Also went ahead and pre-ordered the die cast Mark 3, hopefully my last Iron Man figure

Just got the Mark 42 in and should be getting Heartbreaker and Tony the mechanic tomorrow
