Toy Soliders Thread: Because being a man child is okay sometimes. - General

Hello Facepunch! I was recently searching through Facepunch and realized there's no thread for toy/figure/doll/collectible collecting so i figured I'd make one. So feel free to post your favorite toys, post your collections and post what you want to see next. Useful links (will add more): [URL]http://boards.4chan.org/toy/[/URL] I bought this little guy before Christmas and it's awesome, Japanese figures seem so much better then the ones we get over here. [QUOTE] [IMG]http://i44.tinypic.com/35b5tth.jpg[/IMG] [/QUOTE] I haven't seen the Anime but i'll probably watch it now!

I collect DC stuff when I have the money. No camera on me but for Christmas a year back I got a Flash and Superman Figure and before that I picked myself up one of The Question when I was on a Justice League bend. I also got the Megaman Kit for Easter two years back or so, and bought the Jungle Fatigues Snake after playing through Peace Walker a bunch. If I had more money, and a proper shelf, I'd probably get more. It's a nice hobby.

I used to collect WH40K Tau, I wouldn't play, I'd just enjoy collecting them and painting them in neat designs. I stopped when I let my friend put some together for me and he accidentally glued half the arms on upside down.

You might want to fix "Toy Soliders" in your title.

Are we going by /toy/ standards and including model kits/Gunpla? Because I've got a pile of those and it'd be nice to have a place on Facepunch to talk about them, but the only action figure I really have is a Figuarts Zeronos.

Maybe Zangetsu when he gets his made.

I got a few Evangelion Revoltechs this year, including the 4-figure boxset.

[QUOTE=Slippery-Q;43366842] ABSOLUTELY NOTHIN'[/QUOTE] That toy war movie was so stupid and funny.

[t]http://i.imgur.com/jaPpoky.jpg[/t] Got OOO TaToBa this christmas, definitely understands all the shit people say about his ankles now. Probably gonna go for Abyss next because apparently the Ryuki body is real good. [editline]31st December 2013[/editline] Figuarts are basically the best figures, but their choice of series are pretty limited. Great news if you're a Rider or Sentai fan, though.

I'm half tempted to show some of my stuff, it's mostly anime related (Figma's) though so... not too sure if you guys are keen on that. I also have a few old Crash Bandicoot 3 toys on my shelf. But their missing most of their props, i was kinda young when i got them, bare in mind.

I'm really into 1/6 stuff myself, Sideshow and Hot Toys mostly, but I also really enjoy making customs.

Well I don't know about soldiers, but I have what some would call 'collectibles'. Because I can't be arsed taking pictures, I'll just grab what I got from the interwebz: My newly beloved Tornado.

Done. Dusted. I want to build my layouts again.

I have a lot of miniatures, seeing as I even work in a hobby shop. Mostly wargame stuff, a few diorama things. I've also got a good number of action figures. Hoping to get all the TF2 ones once they've all been released.

Also, the new Gaim and Bananarama/Baron figures look fucking amazing. I hear Bravo's getting something but I don't think it's a Figuarts. Still waiting for Zangetsu. Or Griton.

Those are great representations of the Gaim and Baron suits, but those are suits I [I]hate[/I] because of the shoulderpads. I'm just hoping to get Baron Mango or Kurokage out of the series. At the very least, the main four (Orange Gaim, Bananaron, Budou Ryugen and Zangetsu) will all be mass releases, I'm certain.

I hope we get Energy Zangetsu, he's basically the only Energy rider who looks decent. Also, I hear Budou there. That means you're watching Tv-Nihon subs. For the love of god change to Aesir subs. You'll thank me later.

Do model cars/diecast go in here as well?

I've got a fair collection of the NECA Predator figures. They're well constructed, if a bit stiff.

Do dragon models count? Only one model I have is of dragon, but his upper part of face sadly was broken by my sibling, so he looks like he's shut up now. Oh and I have real life size model of crocodile.

My bedroom is overflowing with toy cars. I have nearly 200~300 Hot Wheels, Matchbox and 1/64 models from other brands in my room. And that number is steadily increasing.
