Threezero Game of Thrones Jon Snow Ver. 2.0

[dantes2501]

Can?t justify buying another head just for the neck. Will find another slim body with neck close in color, but congrats for everyone who missed out. It?s a great head for sure.

It's a neck adapter, as in the sculpt will be the same as the first run, they'll just add a neck adapter suited for the 3Z body on the side.

 

[Wor-Gar]

I never got the 1.0 so I'll be happy to grab this 2.0

Heads up, re-issue of Eleven's Jon is coming, with a neck piece to fit the ThreeZero body

Great! But I'm having some mixed emotions here. I've been placing a lot of orders on stuff recently and just when I think I'm done, something else drops! I already have the Eleven sculpt but would love to have another because I'm thinking of sending it out to be repainted to bring some more life to the sculpt.

Yeah... welcome to the hobby.

It gets worse. You'll spend more.

Yea, I've been pretty good at not overdoing my collection and haven't purchased anything really for a few years now as I avoided the Marvel explosion. Just got the itch lately to get a few more pieces.

Same. I've downsized quite a bit in the last year. I'm down to only 2 Detolfs from 6 for 1/6 stuff and that's not including PFs, DCC statues and transformers I've also sold. But, I too have been getting the itch for a few select items. After not having spent so much money in the last couple months, it's had to know what to get next. The last figure I 'bought' was purchased purely with Reward Points.

 

[Wor-Gar]

What's replaced the 1/6th in 4 of your detolfs?

Downsizing is not kicking the addiction.

Nothing. Once I got down to only two detolfs, I took the other 4 down and put them in storage. I only have 12 figures currently, two on each glass shelf with a few masterpiece transformers at the very bottom sections.

Downsizing did help but I think there is always going to be something that catches your eye. It has been nearly a year since I sold a lot of my collection. I started at the end of February 2019 and went on until about May. Then sold a few more around September. I bought the deluxe EP3 Obiwan with SS RPs on Cyber Monday. I also have $100 in RPs at Alter Ego Comics that I do not know what to do with. Not a lot has impressed me enough to actually buy except the recent Last Samurai by PopToys and new Superman PF. I also like to customize but that is a slippery and expensive slope which is why I sold nearly all of my custom figures :

I think there are several phases a collectors goes through. I'm at the end of the "buy buy buy" phase where I need every 2nd figure release ! and got more into the: Get the really cool ones and otherwise try to spend the money on customizations. Even if those are expensive, in the end you have 10-15 really great OOK figures instead of 50 "standard" ones.
Well nothing against standard figures really, they getting better and better, but I don't have the space for all of them anyway. So why not concentrate on some absolute must haves and try to improve them?

But I admit, if I had more space, I would probably still buy more figures haha

That?s my point; I already have the sculpt so no need for myself to double dip, but I?m happy for those who just want to use the 3z body and grab this new run of the head. Shame 3z can?t just give us a decent head unless it?s Tyrion lol.

I've been through just about all of the collecting phases at least once, at one time or another. I've gone crazy acquiring figures. I've trimmed down the collection down. (In some cases, later picking up figures that I had previously sold off...)

I'm currently at the phase where I'm "trying" not to purchase one-off figures. Meaning that they need to fit into a current display/collection/line. I'm also "trying" to be even more picky with purchases.

My current major collection lines are:
1. Star Wars
2. Lord of the Rings
3. Terminator
4. Nolan Batman
5. Aviation/Space/Military History

Minor collection/lines are:
1. Alien/Aliens
2. Matrix
3. One-off figures and Sci-Fi in general

Unfortunately, I've got a large number of those "one-off" figures, mostly in the Sci-Fi genre. Added to the mix are custom built figures that fall anywhere in any of those lines.

And as Gipetto noted, just when you think you are out, something catches your eye and you're pulled right back in...

I do the same - and my new strategy is the following for non-main themes or because you can't show them all off at once anyway:

I try to figure out either the most famous 2-3 characters or my personal favourite 2-3 characters from a certain genre/movie/game etc. and place them together on a shelf.

-> I love Game of Thrones, but I still only got Jon Snow and Daenerys and a 1/6 Iron Throne.
-> I also just preordered the Mandalorian and will shelf him together with Baby Yoda once available. And if season 2 brings us more famous chars, I will get one more
-> For Lord of the Rings I have Gandalf and Aragorn, would get Sauron if there is one. Thats it. Atm Saruman is in his place

I think having groups of 2-3 Figures is much better than one offs you like or trying to max out every theme (because of money and space).
If I will ever buy an Indiana Jones I would probably place him together with a Terminator and a Jack Sparrow as "famous movie figures"
In this last example you can also see the downside of my strategy: Instead of buying one figure, you buy three haha

 

[davejames]

It seems like every time I try to downsize, I just end up splurging even more on figures later. Which makes it not much different from dieting I guess.

And yeah one-off figures like John Wick are always the hardest to find a place for in the collection. You try to group them by "theme" as much as possible, but it still doesn't really work that well.

 

[FlyAndFight]

There's also the fact that many of these on-off figures are amazing. I've got the DX Jack Sparrow unopened in the shipper box because I haven't a place to display him properly and I don't want to get rid of it. To be honest, I've got a couple of dozen of figures still waiting to be released from their boxes. I'll most likely start trimming the collection once I get tired of seeing these boxes pilling up... (Sorry to hijack the thread.)

I've got Jon 2.0 on pre-order and it looks like I'll just have him and Tyrion 2.0 to represent GoT. I'm cool with that.

 

[Wor-Gar]

I've got the DX Jack Sparrow unopened

Still one of the BEST figures HT has ever done.

 

[Bucky Underbelly]

Got my 7-day notice from Sideshow. Should have the figure in a couple of weeks ...

 

[FlyAndFight]

Agreed. That's why it's difficult to let go.


And I received notice today that final payment for my Jon 2.0 will be due on Feb 21st! (From SS).

Really feel like a moron for not getting the Nut Pizs sculpt on One sixth kit when I had the chance.

Why? The Nut Picz 2.0 is coming with added 3Z neck adaptor.

Is that a fact or are you giving me false hope Wor. Lol
