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

[RJMacReady16]

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.

That I believe. Especially in this market.

My low-risk retirement has actually earned less than what the bank would've been paying me

anyone here buy two of everything to have one in display out of box and one as a box or resale figure? im beginning to run out of money to buy two of every 1/6 figure.

Incidentally Duckgoo, which Neo headsculpt do you prefer out of GG and TT?

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 understand but I'm not looking for a full out tutorial. I just would like you to answer the three questions I pm'd you the other day. If there's a better way to do it, please share with your fellow Freaks...not sure why this is such a highly regarded secret around here. They're just toys and we all would like our collections to look their very best. I could see if we were competing in a contest or something

I honestly think Lee's gonna kick your ass if you don't tell him about those cathode sabers...

I used to do that, but lack of funds put a stop to that quickly.

I personally liked Triad's Neo headsculpt better, but my wife thinks the GG sculpt is better. She has a good eye for human likeness. Also, I think he GG sculpts were made from digital scans from the actors. You can't do much better than that.

I think Triad's headsculpt is more flexible and can be used for other Keanu movie figures like Constantine or Speed.

Very nice collection! I hadn't seen pics of Leon from The Professional before - that's a sweet figure. I love that movie.
Your SW figures looked awesome with all their sabers lit up.

True, though the results haven't always been spot-on. Just goes to show how critical the paint job can be.

I just wanted to know three things:

1. Where you order your cathodes...they seem more in scale than others I've seen.

2. What saber hilts are you using? SSC, Hasbro or custom pieces?

3. Are yours cordless? If not, can you briefly explain how you power them.

I think if I have this info, I could figure out a way to do it.

Thanks!...Nice collection by the way. I would kill for some of those pieces.

 

[MrStayPuft]

I think my two favorites would have to be the Green Goblin and Leon. It even comes with his plant!

Awesome collection!

 

[SOLIDSNAKE]

[Zoolander]
