I got out of 1/6 when prices first hit 3 digits. That said though, NECA 2 packs are heading that way and they're 7"!Thats where we at these days, arround 500 per figure seems to be the standard for rooted figures.

It’s still available anywhere (not named Spec)?really contemplating if i wanna spend $1200 on the 2-pack... at $600 a figure even if its rooted, its a lot more than i initially intend on spending. Help lol
Spec but they seem legit from what ive researchedIt’s still available anywhere (not named Spec)?
How are you guys holding up?
All these Inart releases on Christmas time... JND's Joker, and now Hot Toys drops Jack early...
Crazy.
Yeah. That's not mentioning customs (Lest we get in trouble).just another day
i only really collect horror, batman/joker stuff and mild star wars. my wallet is safe but customs on the other hand... lol
im only expecting star killer, 4 pack phoenix, jnd, hot toys ledger for nowYeah. That's not mentioning customs (Lest we get in trouble).
I'm also selective with what I collect. But a lot of the figures releasing now are heavy hitters that appeal to the same crowd more or less.
Ledger, Phoenix, Sparrow, Atreides..
Not your average schlock.

Pretty annoying to be honest. I have three things on order, JND Joker Type C, Inart Joker 4-pack and JND Aragorn 1/3. Trust that both the Inart and JND packs which cost a lot by themselves already release in the same schedule...
And here I thought Joker 4 pack (and 2 pack), Ron and Paul all around the same time was some form of reckoning…what you got going on is apocalyptic…
It's a lot worse if your collection expands beyond these like your typical bandai and similar stuff. The last 2 months have been brutal and add the holidays, I have no words left for it.
I was talking about where prices are heading. I paid £99 for my last NECA 2 pack, which is a lot for what they are. The last 1/6 I paid 2 digits for was an HT Bruce Lee and he was £75. There's no way I'm buying any 1/6 for what they cost now.Cant even think of a 1/6 scale figure that was priced at 2 digits, maybe way back before i got in the hobby. But in all fairness you cant compare inart to neca, not even close.
In Asia, the lowest prices for 1/6 are around £100 but that's just for third party/unlicensed. Hot Toys prices in UK is straight up robbery which can be 3x HK prices, in HK a HT figure averages £200 / $250 USD. If you're unwilling to go above £100, then probably HT is not worth above that to you, but I'd say you're not aligned to what the actual value of Hot Toys is and you're better off with other brands or third party 1/6.I was talking about where prices are heading.

These days, I get my kicks in smaller doses courtesy of 1/12 and 1/10. That said, even prices on these are starting to creep up to where I'm less comfortable. I did, however, just discover a Chinese company Fondjoy that makes licensed and nicely priced 1/9 figures. They currently only do DC, but they may expand. They do a nice Batfleck from BVS and will hopefully follow it with a Cavill Supes, we will see...In Asia, the lowest prices for 1/6 are around £100 but that's just for third party/unlicensed.

And it's a question of what your requirement is. If it's just a simple representation then something like Marvel Legends can suffice, if it's a highly detailed replica then you got Hot Toys and Inart, and that's certainly worth more than £100 (to me).
I don't need to collect horror because I already experience horror every time I have to pay Inart, Hot Toys and Jazzinc invoices.just another day
