Things I Want

Something strange has come over me. I've been looking at this a lot

If I'm ever going to get one....

I'm getting drawn to that too...and I have the MMS mkIV

I have a ton of Iron Man armors, including the limited gray one. I'm trying to figure out which one I want to keep and I'm gonna sell the rest.

What do your collections consist of these days? I have the impression that, like me, you're not buying very much.

The only Iron Man I've ever had was the original Mark III they made - their very first if I'm right. I even had the Mark I & II on preorder but, somehow - in my most undisciplined toy collecting period - I managed to rein myself in. And later I sold the Mark III, together with his pink panties.

Then The Avengers came out, it was good, and I told myself that one day I would at least have the Big Four in my collection to break up all the leather clad Terminators. I bought Hulk but left it at that. Knowing that these characters get made and remade constantly it didn't seem like there was any rush to buy the others.

But Diecast Iron Man Mark IV is looking pretty damn definitive. Dunno 'bout Thor and Cap....their Infinity War looks are not what I would deem the most iconic so I might have to look to previous figures.

 

[Lejuan]

Yeah, I think you could call the MK IV definitive. Mine doesn't seem to have faded much if at all, but the one thing I never liked about it is the plasticky lightweight feel in hand. This one would be a good one to get - I'm pretty much at one or two figures a year now. My superhero shelf is Iron Man, OC Batman, rami S3 Spiderman and Reeve Superman. I've never felt the need for Hulk or any of the others, but if a Ferrigno Hulk were available I'd be tempted.

 

[The Ween]

I started out going really strong but have cut it way back now. Most of my figures are in storage now and I just can't see getting a whole lot more then. I started out with just LotR things but branched out all over the place. It got out of hand. There's just too much out there now.

 

[Lejuan]

I'd sell a lot of my stuff if it weren't such a hassle. The ones that might turn a profit I don't think will be going up in value any more than they have now.

What things do you want?

Regarding collecting statues and figures:

* Storm Toys Terminator T-1 Future Tank 1/6; highest prio as I love Terminator stuff. However these are sold out and no-one is selling theirs.

And some others:
* Terminator bust Universal Studios Florida
* Sideshow He-man ex
* Sideshow Skeletor ex
* Sideshow Hordak ex (if they will ever make him)
* Curious to Sideshow's Mumm-ra and Lion-O


Regarding life:
Just a happy and healthy (and long) life for me and my whole family.
And a bigger house with more room for my collectibles ;-)

I am too. I want a Iron Man in the collection, but holding out that Sideshow offers him up in a classic look sometime.

Oh and $345

Yeah, well, that brought me back down to earth...

I've got the 2 Keaton Batmans, the 2 Nicholson Jokers, Reeve Supes, Hulk and Tobey Spiderman. Used to have the Origins Wolverine which I sold because I assumed a better one was imminent....I was wrong.

I feel that the MCU, some underwhelming films notwithstanding, is an achievement that warrants a bit more representation in my collection though, hence me delving into the Marvel section a bit the last week.

I started out going really strong but have cut it way back now. Most of my figures are in storage now and I just can't see getting a whole lot more then. I started out with just LotR things but branched out all over the place. It got out of hand. There's just too much out there now.

A lot of us seem to have a ''going overboard'' period when we branch out far too much. I can't imagine trying to buy everything there is now, absolute nightmare. I saw a post from Hot Toys on their facebook with a massive group shot of their MCU figures so far And god love the Star Wars completists.

I'd sell a lot of my stuff if it weren't such a hassle. The ones that might turn a profit I don't think will be going up in value any more than they have now.

I've a lot of stuff I want to sell but I've been procrastinating on it big-time. I think I've renewed my premium membership about twice since I last sold anything and its up in February again

I am too. I want a Iron Man in the collection, but holding out that Sideshow offers him up in a classic look sometime.

Well, it's expensive but since I'm buying so little these days maybe I could stomach it when the time comes...assuming I haven't gone nuts in the meantime with all sorts of spending that I'm not currently foreseeing/planning.

The only live-action Iron Man design I really care for at this point. Very tempted despite having the MMS already, but that headsculpt is very disappointing compared to the Homecoming one.

The Stark head? It looks decent to me but the last one I had was

 

[ebor]

...but damn wasn't the Mark III so impressive for the time (2008). I had Marks 1-VII (I still have MK 1, 2, 4, 6 and DC3) I will NOT weaken an buy any more Ironmen, metal or solid gold. I am done with them. Quite frankly my favorite is 1-3 style wise)

 

[GasparZizou]

Justice League or a Superman anime.

No re imagining, just a modern action, slice of life, sci-fi anime, with a bit of comedy.

I can already hear it; SUPAMAN, BATUMAN, FLASHU, WANDAWOMAN, MIDORI NO TORO (or GREENU RANTERU), MARTIAN TENTAI, AQUAMAN.

The word 'literally' erased from the English language.

 

[Lejuan]

Through common usage it is now accepted as an intensifier. Our battle is lost a-dev.

Are you guys both saying that word literally bothers you?
