My basic collecting aim is to get some representation of every character I liked as I was growing up, which includes Sonic and Mario.

I'm quite keen to have them in the same scale, which as far as I can work out is either 2" or 5" scale. This means for Sonic that it has to be First4Figures (which also has the bonus of being Mega Drive/Genesis era Sonic), and for Mario, PopCo (or Goldie, the company seems to have changed names several times).

(I'm aware of the Jazzware figures but they don't seem to match the Nintendo figures quite so well.)

Does anyone else collect these figures? If so which scale did you go for - I've got the 5" scale figures, but I find myself umming and arring over whether to downscale - I've not got a lot of space and somehow 2" seems more appropriate as that's roughly how the big characters how big the character would be on a reasonable sized telly!

Then again the sculpts at the larger scale are much better.

Anyone have any thoughts or recommendations on the subject? Also, anyone else going mad waiting for the later waves of the Mario figures!? I'm sure I've had Wario on pre-order from BBTS for almost 2 years......
