The 3A Thread

[Darth Waller]

This is just disgusting...wow man just looking at that photo pisses me off. I mean I get their trying to save the world from all kinds of "bad things" that could come in but damn at least be a little nicer about it.
Regardless its still someones product that they paid for and there just like "i dont give a damn i'll slice it right down the middle" then they just slap it together or what ever and send it on its way like nothing happened.

I was pretty pissed for a couple days after I got it. I taped up the slice on the inside of the box, so it doesn't look as bad right now.

I'd write a letter of complaint. I'm sure that's not standard procedure for checking packages.

I would, but with my luck, they would stick me on the IRS audit list.

Can I ask how to find out when the sales on bambaland are? I haven't seen one yet at all. I really want to get cherry bomb when it drops but I am almost positive I will miss it.

Keep an eye on the 3A blog. They usually post upcoming sale times.

So i'm 7 months in to collecting 3A.

At the moment i've got:

4 AK figures - Tommy Red, Shadow 2, F-Legion & Fat Drown

3 WWR - Stealth Grunt, Bomb Square and RIP 003 Caesar

1 WWRp - Armstrong Monet

I've three more WWRp ordered, one APTK and another AK on the way.

So i'm a little all over the place for colour and size.

I've got somewhat of a display planned, i bought the KYU APTK as i thought it'd look great with the WWRp Gravedigger Caesar i have ordered.

So i Was just wondering do you guys stick to a pattern like only one line or one colourway or one scale? Or a piece of everything?

 

[gunm]

I have mostly AK and Popbot humanoids and almost exclusively 1/6 except for one Armstrong I picked up on a whim.

I'm about 3 months into my collection and, like you, have pieces from all over the place and there is no rhyme or reason to my colourways. So far, I have been able to stick to 1/6 scale WWR and AK figures.

Adventure Kartel:
4 AK zombs (2 retailer assortment, 2 Acolyte (first version))
1 Finger Gang #2
1 Ankou Johnson
1 Junglevet

WWR:
1 Caesar RIP 003
1 Iron Panda Dropcloth
1 Deimos Liberator Dropcloth
1 JEA Dropcloth

I haven't purchased any other type of figure since I started collecting 3A stuff. I am completely hooked. I just wish it was easier to get background info on these characters/storylines. I have most of the WWR books, but they barely scratch the surface.

I also wish 3A would rerelease figures (in new colourways) - it is very difficult for a new collector to pick up some of the awesome figures/robots.

^ i've usually just checked the wiki for more info.

I'm mostly getting AK & WWR too though that TK KYOKU keeps calling my name

I'm getting a detolf soon and just figure they'll look odd, well mostly the WWR as they're all different colours.

I guess as i get more i can pair them off

Yeah, me too. I've scoured the Wiki, but it doesn't seem like it has been updated in a while.

 

[Uncanny Web-Slinger]

^ true, just looked for something and could'nt find it.

Can a seasoned vet explain Shadow's body to meplease.

When Shadow 2 released there was a big debate about the body. My only dislike for the figure is the breasts, they are big and are placed very low.

Were the old bodies better sized?

 

[Mastter]

15 months and counting, and I have from Everything, 1/6, 1/12, AK, WWR, Popbot, 2000AD, etc

 

[Joekavalier]

Can't wait to get more of these. Got tommy red and a tq princess on the way. Wanted shadow 2 to go with Tommy but too much on eBay already. Also looking for a fighting jc.

Little Shadow has a better body on my opinion. Smaller breasts and no nipples. Not sure why Ashley felt the need to change it.

 

[dedguy]

I think they just needed to standardize the body, which is a bummer.

Where are you located? I might be selling my Shadow 2

Got JC today and he instantly became my fave AK. Another stuck handpeg, managed to get it out without damaging it so thats good.

 

[Mqhuynh]

Did anyone get their AP zombs?
I just got the 3 pack. Awesome stuff. The blind war zombs looks great.

 

[DpM]

My zomb was delivered on Friday. I was away so did not get it till today.
I ordered 1 blind and am in the UK. I got a Warzomb.

Not sure which one it is yet as I only had a quick peek but its one of the two with long sleeves.

I'm well happy as I wanted one of those the most failing that a zombot or NYCC zomb.

 

[Mqhuynh]

Nice score on the war zomb.
I didn't pick up any blind singles, wish I did though

 

[Victοr]

Can anyone give me some info into what 3a produces? Are their figures as good as ht,are they worth their money? Also,I asked them about spawn and they said that they can't say anything at the moment. What does that mean?

 

[Uncanny Web-Slinger]

Hot toys are licensed movie figures, ThreeA are artistic independent figures

 

[DeadLeaves]

They have picked up a few licenses lately. Waiting on rex! Plus real steel, Portal etc.

 

[dedguy]

Yeah they have quite a few licenses. They announced Spawn awhile back but there hasn't been any movement on that yet.

 

[Victοr]

Thanks for the info!
