Figures you regret buying

[devastator's balls]

Yavin Luke anybody? I took a dump on it.

 

[Valfar]

Anything from Bayformers 1+2, aside from HA Bumblebee.

Only the G1 stuff never gets old for me.

I think collectors of the 90's all collected the same crap. NBA cards, Marvel cards, Comics, McFarlane figures, and ugly SW Hasbro figures.

Oh Jesus, how much of that crap is stored in my parents' attic. I actually collected a lot of those Marvel Toy Biz figures, too (they suck, but were the best we had at the time). The only toys from that time that I still like are the Batman: Animated Series figures.

Yeah, hence the reason it's all going for pennies right now instead of the cash some of us thought we would make out of it.

Ignorance and youth are bliss. Getting older/wiser and realizing your collection of junk that sits in your garage isn't worth sh** sucks!

Perfect example, I did a couple of toy shows back in the late 90's and I had two McFarlane Malebolgia figures. Everyone remembers those bad boys right? At the time the figure booked out at $75. Not bad for buying it for $8. Had multiple offers that weekend to sell it for $40 or so and I passed on each offer.

STILL have the 2 in my garage and can't move them for even $.99 on Ebay. Sigh.....

Agreed, the Batman stuff was the only decent stuff to make it out of that era, for the most part.

I've just decided to part with all of my "toy" Batman stuff. Going to load it up in one auction and post it on Ebay to see if I get any takers.

Got to clear out room for more 1:6 scale stuff!

 

[ironmann]

HotToys V1 joker and V2 batman!

 

[Cheungkinmen]

I regret buying the New Masters Of The Universe Classics figures and the subscription. I found my new love in the 1/6 scale.

 

[monkeydad16]

Star Wars Power of the Force 12" line.

 

[Chigger58]

HotToys V1 joker and V2 batman!

I lucked out here and my first 1:6 scale figure was the Joker DX and of course I saw the DX Batman at the same time and preordered that. VERY thankful for this as the week before I went to a local shop that had both for quite awhile and they had happened to sell out of them just before I went to go purchase them. I was bummed at the time, glad in the end.

Took a lot of will power to not start here but after just selling pretty much all of my new G.I. Joe stuff (which I was REALLY into) I'm so glad I never started MOTUC.

Star Wars Power of the Force 12" line.

Another just sold, but I just parted with, no...got rid of, over 18 of the single figures and my Han on Tauntaun. I still have the Luke and Han as Stormtroopers and the Luke and Wampa but that's it. Didn't get near what I paid for them but it was nice to recoup what I did. Now the other two are going to be garage sale items and will probably go cheap but at least it's out of the house!

 

[dcflake]

Eh? They did, they made at least 2 as I can recall - Neo and Trinity from the lobby scene.

Oh my mistake.

I never picked them up as they were never avaible at the stores where I was so I forgot about them. Still, the line up was missing Smith and Morpheus.

Lucky I got rid of all my 90's Star Wars and Toy Biz figures and even the Marvel Legends, while they still had value.

Still have some boxed Famous Covers in the attic though, equally as worthless

 

[niennumb1]

Most regret - my hundreds of Star Wars '95-'2005. What a waste. Couldn't even get rid of them for what I paid for them when I quit the line.

 

[ebor]

Not a damn one! it's like women (from a hetro-male perview) good, better, best.

 

[Protozaius]

I grabbed a lot of Hasbro SW for kitbashing. Oh man.

Oh boy, you too! I have scores of 12" Hasblow Star Wars figures from BOTH trilogies. All have been tweaked with in one way or another... and all unsellable on eBay.

Just boxes and boxes of them.

Also I started buying those Toynami Futurama figures when they first started up. Stopped about wave four. Should have never started it tpo begin with. Might sell those on eBay soon... but I don't expect to get much for them.

 

[SanShouXMA]

I had once bought a bunch of Kamen Rider and Sentai RH/SH figures to be customized with some 1/8 scale base bodies. Did a few and then discovered 1/6 figures. So now I'm stuck with a crap load of figures. Many doubles. UGH....

 

[Ursus3978]

Takara Batman Begins.
The rubber suit on mine started ripping under the arms fairly soon after I got it. I wish I had saved the money and gotten Hot Toy's V2 of the Begins costume.

 

[Darkseed]

I don't own a lot of these brands but "most" of my SS and Medicom figures. I have a few on display, the rest are packed up.

Are you serious? Have you not seen what Fry and Zoidberg are going for?!?!?

 

[LoveMinusZero]

I kinda regret buying my ep3 ObiWan and maybe my medicom clones, not because they suck but I have two sideshow clones now and I just like them better.

Ummm, no.
