when did you make the figure commitment?

[freestylex06x]

ever wonder how many people are like us and willing to dish out $100+ for a single figure? when did you first make the jump to the "big leagues" of cashing out for a single figure and why?

i poped my cherry with the snake eyes exc. figure, well i got into figures because i loved G.I.JOES when i was growing up. that and the chance the joe line is going to be the next big thing (patient 0).

Hot Toys CP.

 

[EVILFACE]

Hot Toys Battle Damaged T-800 Terminator. I think I was $100 shipped of the bay.

Still my favorite figure.

 

[iron.jedi83]

medicom RotJ vader and luke. but now that i got SS's version of vader on order, the medicom will go bye bye

 

[Kabukiman]

Hot Toys Joker will be my first figure priced higher than $100.

 

[NewGoblin23]

I still havent spent more than 100 dollars for a figure. All I have right now is a spiderman 3 venom I got for 75 dollars. I still cant come up with the courage to buy a figure for over 100 bucks but that will all change once the Medicom Sweeney Todd and Batman come out

RAH Rei Ayanami, for a measly 120 $! Not bad, and such a beautiful peice, it was all downhill from there!! Been lovin' it ever since...

 

[RJMacReady16]

I dabbled with $50-60 for a long time.

HT Batman Begins v.1 made me take the leap. Shipping and all it cost me about $180 back then....

 

[pixletwin]

Medi-Vader (ROTS) was my first big $$$ figure.

 

[Kabukiman]

RAH Rei Ayanami, for a measly 120 $!

That was going to be my first, but I chickened out. Now I feel silly for doing so.

I used to collect the Hasbro Star wars figures, I have all the main characters apart from Chewie, who I still haven't got yet. I started collecting the Wizkids Horrorclix figures, but I always really liked 1/6th scale figures.
Sooooo, I was browsing through some toy sites and came across MWCTOYS.......and the rest is history.
First was HT RPD Leon, i think he was about £90 shipped from HK.

 

[Fives]

My Medicom ROTS Vader was my first over $100.00 figure.............i've lost track since then. ( and i tought sideshow star wars were expensive!!! ).

 

[freestylex06x]

what is the average age around here? I hear stories of wives and such so im interested. I always have trouble finding funds to buy the figures I want, what about you guys? Do you guys set a limited every year or what because it seems like too many good things are coming out at the end of this year all at once. (HT Dark Knight Line, Iron Man, etc)

 

[pixletwin]

I think the general concession was between 21 and 35.

 

[PRIME]

Im old ,got married bought a house but you know i dont wanna grow up im a toys r us kid

 

[CelticPredator]

16 here. Dont know what that tells ya about the age...but hey.

 

[Batman5]

I would have to say Medicom Batman Begins figure followed by their Luke Skywalker. After that I have lost track between Medicom, Sideshow, Hot Toys and DCD. I will say I had an awakening when I was willing to buy Medicom's Spider-Man 2 for $255 shipped. I don't think I will be willing to go that high again for one figure. But hey I'm young, no woman or child to worry about... just that wonderful text book bill.

For me in came in 2's, first Sideshow's T-1000 & T-800, then shortly after that Sideshow's Friday the 13th 6 & 7.

However even shortly after that my interests shifted to Hot Toys and i've never looked back. The first time I passed the $100 mark was my HT Rocky IV piece, $120 delivered. The most i've ever spent was about $215 for the Takara Bats delivered and after a bastard customs fee too.

 

[The Mike]

My first "E-Ticket" 1/6 figure came with the HT Superman Returns v1. Have never looked back.
