They're usually fairly good about release dates, usually only three or four months late (unlike, say, Triad Toys).

 

[tigerfeet]

still enjoying the AK range though

[porkins73]

ahh, you are missing the Tracky JC to complete your JC gang

 

[joebad]

Haha, yeah I told myself I would just stick to the robed JC's.

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?

Am an avid collector of 3A/Ashley Wood products since 2010.
I'm first and foremost an Adventure Kartel collector. So I try to collect at least 1 representation of each character & version released. And when I meant "Version", there has to be some difference in the headsculpt ie Tommy & Tommy Red had different hairsculpt. Little Shadow & Shadow 2 had different hairsculpt and so on.
I'll collect a single character with different gear when my budget allows. ie Fighting JC, Mauro JC, Exegesis JC & Tracky JC etc.

Haven't found a proper way to go about in Popbot but I'm on the 7 Bones trail and am set to complete all 7 whenever available. Also following X'Mas TQ release and hope to get an X'Mas sample each year - if 3A decides to stick to this tradition. The rest of Popbots purchase are on a case by case basis. No particular color to follow.

Action Portable Popbot/Adventure Kartel - mainly I try to get smaller version of the 1/6 I already had. Just to pair them up for a nicer display. Recently purchase APTK Heavy Soh from Bambaland because I have the 1/6 version. Also managed to score a AP Tracky JC to pair up with it's bigger bruddar.

In WWR, it is just EMGY, Peaceday and Deimos for me. Stick strictly to these 3 colorways whenever they are available. On occassions, DW/NW depend on design. And also will get any de Plumes put out regardless.

WWRp is the same as in EMGY, Peaceday and Deimos but I'm more liberal for WWRp - probably due to the lower cost and smaller footprint - that any faction that predominantly painted in Yellow, Pink (Bromwich) or Blue will be considered. Also DW/NW colorway if the design gets to me. But I refrain from human character in this line as best as I can.

Good call
It is always good to know what you want and stick to it.
That'll make your collection more define.

In terms of what I get, I generally get most of the AK releases, they're cheap and a lot of fun as bases for additional customization. I also get a lot of the WWR stuff and go for white color schemes which mostly end up being Deep Powder. I also buy everything that's Popbot pretty much excluding all the TKs and TQs.

Well now you have to do the rest.

Nice pics Dpm & Nova

Talking about what people on here collect 3A wise. I just collect there 1/12 scale, I really like that scale because there's so much I can display & with out them all looking crammed in as I'm limited to display room. Colour wise I like to get as many different colours I can find when it comes to the robots.

Nice update knives - those are some great tutorials. I'm planning on customizing one of my WWR Dropcloths (can't pick which one) and those weathering tutorials are very helpful.
