On a related note, i saw some amazing 18/19th century japanese articulated action figures in a japanese museum, they were carved from ivory and had a lot of the joints you'd expect in a 3 3/4 scale figure nowadays! was amazing, and ofc japan would have to be 1 of the first places with those. Also had articulated crabs etc

Whats sad is, even kenner star wars figures from the 70s will long outlast these kind of 1/6 HT figures. stone lumps, ivory lumps, plastic lumps all seem to be more durable than modern accuracy granting materials

The rubber band keeping my 1970s 13" Chewbacca's arms together finally gave out about a year ago. That's about 35 years, and if I could figure out how to put in a new rubber band in there, he'd still look brand new!

Do you actually play with your "toys?" I mean, hold one in one hand, another in the other and make "Pew! Pew! I got you!" noises?

Um.......... yes?

I hope it will be hammer time some day soon, i check the damn blog every day for the blurry picture of his foot!

In case anybody is wondering, we're discussing a far manlier figure than HT luke

Total thread de-rail, but I swear to god, if ThreeA would hurry up and produce some more 2000AD figures I'd stop spending money on Hot Toys and throw it at them.... F Fks Sake! 3 years and 3 1:6 figures! Positively glacial production!


What?

Sorry?


HT Luke?


Yeah, yeah, he's the ugly spug down the hall.....

 

[Niceman]

Um.......... yes?

Then yours are toys.

When it costs more than $100, it's NOT a toy.

Fixed.

I write novels. I justify my collectibles by telling myself they're there for inspiration.

Alternately, you could argue that they're artwork.

Herp derp. it's a toy. dosn't matter if it cost 1$, or 1 MILLION dollars.

Just an expensive one.

Some people feel the need to tell themselves they're "not spending "that kind" of money on toys. they would be fools/immature/whatever " if they did.

Expensive cars are toys.
Boats are toys.
Firearms CAN be viewed as toys, albeit very dangerous ones.

A toy is anything you obtain to bring yourself amusement.

Stop deluding yourselves.

You're using the word toy in the widest sense possible if you include boats and cars. You might also include paintings, furniture, and clothing at that point...

Well, of COURSE they're luxuries, but I'd hesitate to call decorations which cost hundreds of dollars and are never played with "toys" in the normal sense of the word.....
