War machine bust or 5 HT figures?

[averone]

You could be like me and get BOTH!

In all seriousness though, when I'm in similar predicaments like you, I choose the higher end piece first because I figure its easier to acquire $200/figure over time than fork over an $800 lump sum on one large piece. That's how I look at it anyway...

COOL!!
Yes thats a good answer!!! GET BOTH!

Get both.

One way I am doing it is to layby the Bust through a vendor that will do it. And I will pick up each Hot Toy as it comes in.
I always say if you want something and don't end up getting it - you will regret it later and then pay more on the secondary market.

Good Luck

P.S. Nice set up jstep13. Very impressive.

FIVE 1/6 overpriced, loose jointed, rubber deteriorating, full figures < superbly painted 1/1 impressive polystone bust

Fixed see how easy that is

WAR MACHINE !

Jstep, where did you get the shelving unit for all the 1:1's?

Maybe its time to pose a few HT next to the bust! Im sorry, HT and the customs are so darn nice, nothing exactly like them, but when you got a collection of full size stuff and people come over to see everything their eyes cant help but be drawn to the big stuff! Now if I had a collection of HT and custom 1/6, thats something else, but when you got 1/4 and 1:2 and 1:1 statues, there is just no comparison

Couldn't agree more. Go for the WM bust.

Same situation with me but I'm after the 501st bust instead.
I imagine it would look fantastic but I can't help but think of all the figures I'd be missing out on.

Unfortunately there's no easy way to fix ur life if its meaning turned into "collect and store the polystone"

When I started collecting 1:1 I realized all the smaller things are just not as impressive as a life-size item. When people come visiting my room they always look at the 1:1 helmets and busts and rarely they realize there are smaller figures there.

So I guess I'm supposed to make my action figures fight together or something like that then ...man, some people can't take a joke. My life is perfect, but thanks for the concern.

PS: If you cared to even look at my collection link, you'd see that I have plenty of dollies.

1:1 bust is much more impressive to visitors when they see your collection....much more impressive than over-priced Barbie dollies.

Thank you!

It's the IKEA Besta unit. It's probably the most popular and "inexpensive" display (depending how frugal you are about upgrades) you can get.

The cons are they aren't terribly deep (so there are some statues and busts that won't fit) and they cannot adjust horizontally so if you have something wide, you are SOL. But it's worked out fairly okay for me so far...

I voted for the 5 Hot Toys figures, but after seeing pictures of the War Machine bust, I'm not so sure that I'd want to keep that vote. The bust looks simply Amazing.

Hey, people can do whatever they want. I was just pointing out to him that I have some too, so it wasn't a slag against figures. But he took it that way.

Yes understood!
Me too, just stating that you dont have to have a big gun to play with your figures!
