proteus · 01-08-2012, 01:28 PM

Ridiculously expensive,insanely limited editions,bizarrely obscure,or just something you missed when it came out,and never managed to pick up,post em here and lets talk em up!!!!

First up my ALL-TIME,ULTIMATE grail:

old B.O.B from the Mego corporation's Black Hole,mega rare due to him only getting a European Release,old B.O.B IS the figure i would sell a first-born child to own!!!!

MARS-1 Recon,designer vinyl figure...nuff said....

Last but not least,Toy Story Babyface Kubrick ,one of the RAREST of the Toy Story Kubricks,AND I FINALLY GOT ONE!!!! Now just the other two to go!!!!!

trebleshot · 01-08-2012, 01:47 PM

My standard answer to this question is a complete G1 Fortress Maximus, followed by the Car Robots/Robots in Disguise version and the other City-bots and -cons. Then, an MISB Alternators Swerve. After that, the Japan-only dino cassettes. My Non-TF grail would be a complete Power Rangers Mystic Force Titan Megazord.

Grails I've actually gotten would include the TRU reissue of Powermaster Optimus Prime w/ Apex Armor (now I have PM Prime and God Ginrai); G1 Sixshot, Omega Supreme and Sky Lynx; Marvel Legends Deadpool w/Doop; and the new AT-AT.

ElekTriC · 01-08-2012, 02:05 PM

well i had some holy grails. the first one was:

MP-04 Optimus Prime/Convoy and i have him! and best/nicest thing is that my parents bought it for me. I even wanted to pay half for him or full price but they said no. its oke.

The second one was a Hot Toys Iron Man. Didnt matter wich version it was. I just loved the design and loved the iron man movies.

Now i have a Hot Toys Iron Man Mark VI and a Hot Toys Warmachine and love them!

DogFashionDisco · 01-08-2012, 02:41 PM

I always had my eye on this 12 in. Sideshow figure. It is the Creature in the Black Lagoon, and costs a small fortune. I probably won't own it myself, but if I ever tracked one down for a good price I'd snatch it up in a heart beat.

BlackMagnus · 01-08-2012, 03:07 PM

Grand Max
Shadow Scythe
Black Zarak
Overlord
Lucky Draw Unicron

Botcon Boxsets and all attendee figs-

MARS-1 Recon,designer vinyl figure...nuff said....

DUDE!!! This seriously is 1 of those figures I've been trying find out what the hell it is, I used to go through the internet toy surfing through awesome pics and found 1, I only saw a side view of it, but it's identical to this cept it was red instead of blue. Any idea how big he is/going rate?
NVM, I checked ebay cheapest is $200+

I have holy grail items as hot toys mainly, would love to get all the Ironman figures, including mark1,2,3,iv,vi,warmachine, secret armours exclusive, but they're 100's-$1000, also 1/1 scale sideshow ironman headsculpt is a holy grail.

marvel legends- giantman baf
deadpool series 6, marvel legends 2pack deadpool, both versions
dragon man

marvel universe: giantman red variant, rest of the gigantic battles, nick fury mail away, sdcc figures.

behindthemask · 01-08-2012, 07:38 PM

here's a question for everybody, if you find that holy grail figure do you open it? or keep it moc?

ultraman zoffy · 01-08-2012, 07:48 PM

Radio Command Bio Robo (the toy on the right). My mom got me one from Japan way back in the '80s on her only trip back to the Philippines since she came to the U.S. as a kid. No idea how I'll ever come across this thing though... lol

proteus · 01-09-2012, 04:39 PM

Keep em coming guys SOOOO much great stuff in the thread so far!!

@behindthemask,glad i helped you i.d it mate,it was one of the first "designer vinyl" figures i saw(only in a book though!!) Unfortunately it was a good 12months-2years after it was released,so iv just been hunting since,i did see one one ebay for $50 once,but it was U.S shipping only!!!the blue,red and green are the more(yeah right!!!) common versions,the UBER collectible Recons are the black and grey colourways,especially the grey,im sure i read that there are only 48 greys in existence!!! As for opening,if it was MoC/MiSB id have to leave as is,if like the Mars-1 Recon it came in a openable box.....then WHOOOOOOO it would be OUT FOR SURE!!!

Crazy Jetty · 01-09-2012, 05:17 PM

My holy grail is the original Actionmaster Thundercracker.
While complete would be beyond awesome, I'd be happy with just the core figure.

jimster2010 · 01-09-2012, 05:59 PM

This is the first ever poseable Batman action figure by the Luis Marx company. There are very few in existence and ever fewer carded.

Jason Abbadon · 01-09-2012, 06:12 PM

I'd love to finish off my Secret Wars collection- I just need Electro....damn European only release!

Trigger peen! I think I'm calling them peens from now on.

I really only collect MU, but I'd love a complete MIB G1 Dinobots set.

I'd also like to have my MOMC Wave 1 Ninja Turtles back at some point. I sold those WAY too early.

Whats the deal with this guy?? Is he a store exclusive?? A bootleg??

Jason Abbadon · 01-11-2012, 05:10 PM

As i recall, "'Galactic Man" was in Radio hack stores almost a year before there was a Shockwave toy- and, obviously, he's the cartoon color, not dark purple of the official release.

Plus...trigger peen!

i used to collect TF's back in the day... "Shackwave" is the lone survivor and one of my grails.

Shockwave is not an original Hasbro design, as some of you know. the schematics were purchased by Hasbro from ToyCo, only H omitted TRIGGER PEEN for their kid-friendly toyline.

AstroMagnum = Galactic Man = Shockwave.

(the one pictured is dusty. mine is super mint.)

Jason Abbadon · 01-11-2012, 06:03 PM

It's a toy- it doesn't have to do anything!

SH0CKWAVE · 01-11-2012, 06:16 PM

"To Peen, or not to Peen..."

Jason Abbadon · 01-11-2012, 06:19 PM

Shockwave needs to work his legs- he's focusing too much on upper body.
