this is exactly why im feeling a bit torn on this decision. while I like the figures since they do make pretty good representations of characters I love on screen into a display, I feel like if I "had" to drop something from my collecting, this would be on the lower on my spectrum. however that doesnt mean that it makes dropping the 1:6 sideshow figures any easier.Bum said:To answer the initial question of 1/6 line? I've gone away from it. Not to offend those who collect ONLY the 1/6 line because I have done so as well... but I feel that the PFs and statues have a little bit more 'collectible' feel to them. They WANT to be displayed, unlike keeping them in their boxes or plastic covers. They're conversation pieces which bring out a certain common denominator from "i remember that comic book" to "i remember that in Star Wars...". i would rather give up the rest of my 1/6 line than to let go of the statues....except for a few pieces on either side.
Its just that Hot Toys and Medicom are really making me have to start choosing because those two companies alone can put a substantial dent in a wallet and the kicker is, the stuff they are releasing makes it near impossible for me to pass up on some of those items. Not to mention the other higher ticket items that are my first priority like prop replicas.
I just don't know if I should stop collecting the SW 1:6 line and keep what I have now, or just sell everything off. If I sold everything off I'd gain back a good $600-$700 and that could come in handy with some new stuff.... what to doooooooooooooo?!?
