I really like the robot looking guys. If you were to recommend one to get, who would it be?

I personally am concentrating on collecting figs from the WWR and WWRp series. Which are the robots.
Out of all in these series...I really love the Berties.

The Brambles are really awesome too:

And you also have the smaller versions of the Armstrong group.

These are my favorites.


But there are many other figures from other series.

The Adventure Kartel series has Tommy Mission:

And the zombies:

And the Popbot series has the Tomorrow Queens and Kings are awesome too!
I think these are the ones ur referring to as the "robot looking guy"

If so.....i would get the Ascended one. But i think they're sold out.

Their are a couple more series....but I'm not to familiar with them yet. (Gimbat/Tigerfeet/Karma are the experts here IMO) I believe that all the series made by 3A are based on Ashley Woods original stories and art books.


The problem with 3A is that you gotta be on top of thing cuz there are super limited and once they're sold out, the only way to get them really is through ebay for ridiculous prices.


Here's a really awesome Flickr set I found with a bunch of 3A toys:

Damn you M.Crawford/Parker et.al, your current posting(s) of AW 3A makes me want to drop the HT banner and pick up this one late in the game...bye buy $$$

 

[dysfunctional]

I love the 3A stuff. Ill have my first fig in the next couple weeks hopefully . But i have a feeling as soon as it arrives ill i'll hooked on the dang things lol!

 

[minivader]

though 3A stuff are harder to get than HT figures, I think overall they are much more affordable and way more reasonably priced. The only thing I don't like about 3A is they sell some in sets. which, if you consider the price for a single figure, is incredibly cheap in today's price standard. But forcing a collector to have to purchase 4 or 6 or even 12 at one time really price out some who wants to buy them.

Thats what happened with me and the Ascended Popbot. That was really the only one I was interested in but it was part of the 3 pack.

I guess you can look at it as an investment....keep one sell the others.

 

[minivader]

yeah, but the initial pay out is hard for me to swallow since there are other stuff coming out. Looking forward getting the badass badbot though!

True that.....thats why I couldn't get the popbot trio....saving up for other goodies!

I was introduced to the line in Dec of 09 and haven't looked back. Once you read up on the universe and get the history behind the toys, 3A and Ashley Wood you realize how different and special they are from other six scale figures. I used to buy HT & medicom figures mainly now I rarely spend my money outside 3A stuff. (exceptions such as Kaneda & Bike).

Like its been said here before, if you want to save your wallet look away but if you love this stuff then do research and look into 3A as they are king

Sorry... but I'm new to it all too. I just posted it up HERE

 

[Wake]

I just recently caved in and bought my first 3A figs... well pre-ordered them anyway...

I have a Drop Cloth Commando, Drop Cloth Slaughter and Badbot on order.

 

[tigerfeet]

good choices...I have some dropcloths already and they are great fun, articulation is amazing and you can do some real cool character positions.......you'll enjoy them as an intro to the 3A bots.

as for badbot.......nice a classic figure

once it starts though.........oh boy....

oh and Bamboota a good breakdown of the figures and ranges....certainly opens the world up to new people

 

[theghostinside]

i need a tommy.....bad....

 

[Karma]

i'll be honest...i wasn't sure i was gonna keep tommy but once i got him, he's awesome
