[EVILFACE]

Hot Toys: Power Loader
Medicom: Masked Rider Hibiki. He still is a Power Ranger Phag though.
SS 1/6: Masque of the Red Death Phantom
SS PF: Gray Hulk

HT-None
Medicom-Does my Custom Cody Count?
SS 1:6th-Darth Maul
SS PF- Doom

Hot Toys has none? Wow, maybe if you move out of mommies house, you will buy a MANS Action Figure.
Medicom hasn't put out customs.
Darth Maul? The boots sucks, so he is no grail unless you a Maul Sackswinger, oh wait. . .. .
Doom is a nice choice.

Yep, I have both the "Director" and Gunner ("Neo"). They both come in very non specific packaging. They also released a Tom Cruise figure from MI as part of their famous type line.

is that the neo you have hagging from yuor ceiling?

 

[galactiboy]

Yep, he's a good figure. Basebody could be better (but for the time a nice job) and the head sculpt is rather generic... similar to what the did on their Hicks figure. Looks like him, but maybe not enough to get sued

Clothing and weapons on the figure are great IMO.

 

[Rob]

Hot Toys: Hicks
Medicom: BLADE Ver. 1 & Comic Spiderman
Sideshow: Iron Man Comiquette

 

[rw23]

HT's: Superman Returns

[Scarlet]

[Ven]

SS 12": ?

 

[shaun]

Yep, that is a great figure:

Funny thing is the earlier picture you showed was from the review I did The cool thing is that you can sometimes find him for a pretty reasonable price.

I couldn't manage to find him for a decent price, but was lucky enough to get the bootlegged head. Oh what joy.



My Holy Grail

Hot Toys

Bought it the very first day it hit the shops and only regretted not getting another one.

Sideshow
Can't say cos I only collect their star wars line.

Medicom

The only Spidey missing from this shot I guess.

Isn't a Holy Grail supposed to be something insanely rare and expensive or unobtainable?? 99.9% of the stuff listed by everyone can be readily had for only a couple of bills or less. I'm happy you all have such easy to obtain Holy Grails

Here is a list of Holy Grails. Not my personal but some that actually stress many collectors out to the point of emotional breakdown and have put many into Instant Ramen diets and severe debt. Some of these pcs is not even a matter of $$$$ but a matter of finding someone who is willing to sell.

Hot Toys Holy Grails. The most expensive pcs are the desginer figures they did with Brothersworker and other artists in their early days. They can range in the upwards of $1000+ per figure and are limited to as low as 25-50pcs worldwide. Easily more expensive and rarer than any of the movie figures ppl have been listing so far. In terms of Movie figures the HK ver Scar Preadator seems to fetch decent money but I'm not sure what is the most grail as I dont collect any of them. The Neo and the Lucas dont go for that much. Can be had for a couple of bills or less.


Medicom Holy Grails. Not in any particular order-

Hidetoshi Tanaka- Only about 5 pcs are known to exist. One is in the Medicom Museum, another is in the Fila Archives and the other 2 or 3 pcs are in collections. I'ver seen it sell for upwards of $8,000+

Kankichi Ryotsu- One of the RAREST of all Medicoms. Less than 10 are known to exist. I've seen a guy pay $10,000 for one before.

Shocker Rider #1- The Rarest and Most Desired of all Kamen Rider RAH. Wonderfest Exclusive Limited to 300pcs. Sells for $700-$1000.

Shotaro Kaneda- Another Wonderfest Exclusive. Limited to only 300 Pcs. I've seen it go for as low as $800-$1000 and seen it sell for as high as $2500

RAH DX Rider Man- A newer pc. I wouldn't say it's holy grail as it can easily be ontained as long as one's willing to put up the cash but it does demand a good return. Seems to go for the most in HK. I've seen it sell for as high as $500+


Sideshow Holy Grails. Just speaking 1/6 dolls, From my experience most SST pcs are not that rare but interms of higher price dolls, Patient Zero is definetly up there. As for Rare Some of those Black and White Monsters seem to fetch a decent amount and seem to be really rare. Don't know enough about SS 1/6 as I dont collect much of them. Statues are a whole other matter but in terms of the more popular stuff, PF Doom EX and X-men vs Sentinel 1 EX seem to fetch the most return. I know there are other more obscure Sideshow statue pcs that are probabhly rarer and more expensive but I have no idea of them as I dont collect anything besides the Marvel.

 

[figuremasterles]

HOT TOYS: Predator 2, Jack Sparrow, any future Dark Knight figures. And accurate 1/6 ALIEN

MEDICOM: Spidey 2 Judge Dread, and I have to admit, Kaneda.

SS: Star Wars Ep 4 & 5 figs, especially Vader.

Hey Tendou, HAYATA!!!
I have a feeling Riderman's price will go down sooner or later with the fact that they are remaking ALL of the original Riders. Latest being a nother mailaway Rider 2 and Shocker.

 

[Darth Caedus]

Well, I suppose a holy grail for a singular person is something that they want beyond all others, so here's my list:

HT: Batman (have to have him to go next to my Supes)

Medicom: I would say Snake (he always looks such a BAMF...just got my spider-man, so he goes off the list)

SS: Doom PF, SO mad I cancelled him

 

[Tendou-Kabuto]

Hey Tendou, HAYATA!!!

While he does fetch a decent return for UM Medi series, I've seen Shin sell for around $250 and as low as $200 at times which is why I didn't include him since I felt he's pretty affordable and not hard to get.

Riderman will go down if they do issue a DX 2.0 This goes for V3 as well. Of course it's only a matter of time, now that they've shown 2.0 of New #1 and New #2
