    Anyone else embarrassed by 1/12 figures? (Meeting chaired by the President of the Collector Freaks Kylie Minogue Fan Club)

    I'd love your advice on preparing a proper prototype if you know all about that stuff. If you're really knowledgeable and can help more than just a couple of sentences then of course I'd pay.

    Anyone else embarrassed by 1/12 figures? (Meeting chaired by the President of the Collector Freaks Kylie Minogue Fan Club)

    I go through periods of doing that too. I bought the NECA movie Turtles. Yes I loved them as a child but it was a craze and did I really need to pay £100 for 4 figures I had no idea where to display (which have now ended up in the box I mentioned I was going to start up at the beginning of this...

    I can turn anyone into a Kylie Minogue fan given the time. She’s had so many incarnations, dabbled in so many sounds and art that there’s plenty for everyone. The campy stuff, which I’m not actually a fan of, is just unfortunately her work which gets the most attention.

    I think that’s part of it for me actually. I want my office to look nice, sleek and as devoid of stress as possible. The 1/12s make it look messy whereas the 1/6s and my music/vinyl collection look gorgeous together. I collect slightly less common stuff too. No Marvel or DC (other than a Reeve...

    Mate, I've got the massive cartoon style She Ra statue so everyone knows she's there alright. She was my first love when I was four years old so the nostalgia is mandatory.

    Haha, no, it's too cheap girl's toy. I wonder what it would be to make a proto and try and licence it. I know her management well.

    Even though I don’t swing that way Kylie, especially in the 90s, was among the most beautiful women in the world. In her. 50s now she still looks amazing, but obviously it’s a little different. I’d love to get a custom made of her. There was actually quite a cheapy doll made of her back in the...

    That’s the answer! I’ll put my dogs down, that’ll solve the problem. Thank you! :LOL:😂🤣

    Haha, the replies to this post are brilliant (for the record I HATE The Locomotion.) I’m not ashamed, I just felt a pang of embarrassment when I went into my office the other day and saw the 1/12s on display. It just seems too much, only for me personally of course, I know large 1/12...

    Great song. And to illustrate how actually fascinating and experimental she’s been over the years, get a load of this:

    What a vile thing to say. I did nearly die and Kylie pulled me through. Just kidding. Don’t worry, I’m not a ‘yaaas slay queen’ gay. Kylie’s genuinely a brilliant artist. I’ll just have to teach you the ways of the Minogue.

    Anyone else embarrassed by 1/12 figures? (Meeting chaired by the President of the Collector Freaks Kylie Minogue Fan Club)

    Yes, I think I overstated the ‘adult pursuit’ thing. I suppose I just meant the 1/6s look just a little more like collectibles rather than toys, whereas the 1/12s do look like toys you can’t let go of (take no offence 1/12 collectors, I’m talking about a small number here rather than large...

    Marty Mcfly BTTF 2

    Anyone have one for a decent price, rather than them damn scalpers asking for £800?

    Anyone else embarrassed by 1/12 figures? (Meeting chaired by the President of the Collector Freaks Kylie Minogue Fan Club)

    I keep my hobby stuff, primarily vinyl, 1/6 scales and statues in my office, proudly. They feel like adult pursuits, for the most part. But then I sometimes partake in a NECA or similar 1/12, or get given them as gifts, but they feel more like toys. I’m 40, it feels a bit tragic for a so called...

    Queen Studios / InArt to do sixth scale figures

    I NEED Paul from DUNE. I’m obsessed with that entire project and he’ll fit in nicely with my small ‘curated’ collection (yes it’s a wanky way of saying I’m selective but I just don’t want 500 Batmans.)

    Hot Toys Back to the Future II - 1/6th scale DeLorean Time Machine

    Does that look like a new BTTF II Marty, or just the original?

    Big Chief Studios James Bond Series

    He looks good there! I think this is a case of ‘don’t look too closely’ and it actually works quite nicely on display.
