How I Spent > $10K on 1/6 Figures (pics)

[metaphorge]

The Morpheus headsculpt is from a BBI Renegade figure. His vest and pants are custom made. The rest are from my parts bin. The Twins are bald Dragon figures that I repainted, glued some white yarn as hair. Their clothes are custom made.

Thanks for the info. I assume Niobe's and Persephone's heads are from the GG busts?

dude aren't you going to answer all the questions about the light sabers?

I'm honestly not trying to insult you buddy, (far be it from me to tell anyone else what to do with their money) but do you ever feel like it's a waste?

My meager collection riddles me with the guilt of excess from time to time.

Duckgoo, you didn't happen to get Triad's Theodore DXF? Been wanting to see more pics of him ...

 

[orbitingx]

I really like your collection, and all those lit cathode sabers are impressive

Awesome 1:6 scale collection & display, Duckgoo

How long did it take you to collect all these figures ???

I don't think it is a waste since I don't just buy figures just for the sake of buying.

I think about whether I like it and does it have investment value (e.g. Sideshow Exclusive, Hot Toys, etc...) before I buy.

When I am sick of a figure, I usually can sell it for a lot more than I paid or break even worst case scenario. For example, I have sold Hot Toys Hicks, Takara Casshern, and numerous Sideshow Exclusives for a lot more than I paid.

Trust me, it is a better investment than buying cars, electronics, dvd's, cd's, or video games.

I have the Triad Theodore DXF but it was boxed up when I took the pics. It is a sweet figure. But it was a little redundant for my collection.

I have been collecting for about 7 years now. I really need to slow it down, but Hot Toys keep putting out great figures.

I need to do a moving sale soon.

I suppose you're right, man---especially concerning the latter.

This impending global economic slump has me a little worried about my own collection I guess.

I'm sweating the day I wake up and everything's gone to s#$% and I can't move all of the plastic idols on my shelf.

All of that aside---you have a spectacular collection.

That's a good start, but I went in a different direction. My setup is a little more elegant than that. I am not trying to dodge questions about the cathode sabers, but I am in the midst of moving and I just don't have time to do a photo tutorial. I hope you guys understand.

I agree with you in that I actually liked Forever too (my favorite of the first 4 batman movies :O)
But....The Forever suit had nipples too...

I just cant stand Two Face....he's the Joker, only scarred...

Aside from that, a few ^^^^ty lines, and childish moments, its not a horrible piece of crap.

If it makes you feel better, I think my collection has made me more money than my stock/mutual fund portolio in the last 7 years.

Well, if you ever get the urge to photograph it, I'm all eyes!!!
