Nothing wrong or off about my Arnie either!
A perfect figure to start of your Hot Toys collection with methinks!

The T2 Arnie figure is probably the figure of the year so far, with 300 King Leo being next IMO.

Made a quite trip down to Ikea this weekend and got me another cabinet.
I don't like having more than three on each shelf and with Abigail, T1000, War Machine and Berzerker on the way, things are gonna get crowded again fast.
Behold "the cabinet of cool"!

Dude, that's not "the cabinet of cool"...
It's "The Cabinet of Extreme Awesomeness"
Looks great! Definitely a nice way of displaying your figures!!

SO BE IT
Hmmmm, Hot Toys huh? My first HT was either their George Lucas or MI Tom Cruise. Horrible bodies but sculpts with great promise.
I was not much into military but their ALIeNS line was an attention getter. I missed out on Hicks but was able to secure the others. I have since customized all the Hicks gear and only await his head. The Aliens and Predators easily grabbed my interest later and found a way into my collection.
Ironman MIII was a no brainer and offsets DC's Batman Begins and Superman Returns HT offerings.
Then there's the odd loose nude figures but the line that really made my millennium has got to be:
PLANET OF THE APES

I love those detolfs! Too bad I live nowhere near an Ikea and they won't ship those to me.

Same with me - but you can achieve great display options with custom perspex shelves and they don't have to cost a lot. Having said that... I'll be in Sydney next week, might have to take a trip to the Temple of Domestic Goodness.

My first Hot Toys came at once: T-800 and King Leo. I worship at their feet at least twice a day. I haven't bought any since 'cause I have to watch my pennies and I am choosy about my character selection - but I have pre-ordered Bruce Lee and can't wait for CR Superman. Where would we be without Hot Toys? Not only are their figures so awesome, they drive up the quality of their competitors' products too no doubt.

I love the LSB Galactus! Sadly for me I'm just gonna have to settle for the 19" Hasbro Masterworks one for the time being.

Thanks guys! Yeah the Ikea ones rule but they weigh a flippen tonne. I would b interested if they will ever make display cabinets using lighter materials.
Loontentoys on ebay has both Leonidas and Blade for sale. They are more expensive than what they were when they first came out but still a good price I think.
Hey that Hasbro one is truly wicked man.
If I didn't have this Sideshow one, I would've snapped up the Hasbro SDCC exclusive version. The big bilster card was just amazing!!

I recently had some relatives over ..one being an 8 year old kid ..he wandered into my collection room,and of course i followed to make sure he did't touch anything ..i was expecting him to say something like"Cool your so lucky"or something like that ..He actually went on to say he wasn't really into action figures ...an 8 year old kid said this to me..
O ..Eamon what are those white things? the things you have some of your figures standing on in your detolfs.

That's the kids to day. I had the same response from my two nephews. I even went a step further and let them mess around with them for a little bit. They were "uh that's cool." Now my brother on the other hand who is 39, (Today as a matter of fact. Happy birthday Jeff) was like holy ****!?!
Makes me wonder if the only people buying figures in the stores are adults?
