What was your first 12" figure?

[EXOTICLEX]

Mine was Vader. I bought him off of ebay since I discovered SSC long after he was sold out there. I left him in the box for a long time before the addiction began. 25 figures later and I am hooked.

One of the freaks here helped me out with the light saber photoshop and I kept his other saber on him just so I wouldn't lose it.

The Kenner Chewbacca from the 70's. Lost his bandolier in less than a week, I used to carry it around with me everywhere. I guess that really dates me.

Yeah I had both of those and some of the Planet of the Apes
I think they were all sold under the Palitoy brand over here the same as Action Man. I was watching the Video I posted and it showed an Evil Knievel which I also had. My Mum and Dad were not that well off, but my Grandma used to spoil me rotten

DX01 Joker!

Just started last December myself. Currently I'm up to 15 with 4 more on preorder (T-1000, IM WM, IM MK IV, Ghost Rider)....almost going to have 20 in one year!

Wait...that would mean the Iron Man and War Machine figures would actually have to make it out in this year....

 

[Dorgmal Snow]

Oww mine was probably and action man but the one I remember was Steve Austin.
Chuffin loved it so much. Would love to have one now

Just goes to show nothing is new anymore. Palitoy was doing the "eagle eyes" way before PERS.

Amazing...

 

[Dash]

It was either Kenner's 12 inch Luke Skywalker or Chewbacca.
Too long ago to remember which!

If it was Mego those were technically 8" weren't they?

Mine I believe was a variation of one of these:

As for SSC it was Jedi Luke

 

[foolkiller]

Mine was 12" Boba Fett from Hasbro. My first modern 1:6 scale was a BBI SAS figure. The rest is history.

 

[Dorgmal Snow]

Ahh so many great toys, we were lucky kids

 

[unsung hero]

If it was Mego those were technically 8" weren't they?

Mego did make some 12" figures too, but I don't think Hulk was one of them. Superman and Spidey for certain.

I think for me, it was a G.I.Joe back in the early 70's. First Star Wars was Kenner's Large Size Luke Skywalker.

The funny thing is, what got me back into collecting 12" figures was an urequited desire for the Boba Fett Doll back in 1980, I wanted it so bad, but my Parents were never able to find it.

Flash forward 17 years or so to me finding a Boba Fett 12" (new version) at the toy store. I snatched up two of em and found that I just couldn't stop. Something about the toys from that movie are like crack to me.

 

[Glennfett]

the old 12inch Boba Fett

[devilof76]

Kenner Darth Vader. Still have him, with the original cape and half of the original lightsaber. I got a repro and now he's as complete as he will probably ever get. I really wish I had the box.

Col Steve Austin and Bigfoot WTF
