Next thing I know, I'm all in on all the different TMNT sub-lines. I realized (probably too late) that I was spending tons of money and taking up tons of space on an IP that I really wasn't that deeply connected to. I had to break the habit of buying toys solely because "they look cool". Given limited resources, I decided only to collect the things that mean something more to me. I have much more love for DC, MOTU, and GI Joe, so those became my focus.

New toys are always on the way!

That's a very good idea. I absolutely agree. You should collect what you love.

For example, Star Wars has never been my focus. I have very few Star Wars-related figures and objects in my collection. Almost all of them were gifts. Star Wars is a big brand and popular. But I don't collect it.

There are many popular series, but I've never collected them just because they're popular. Everyone needs to create their own collection world.

Their own desires, their own ideas, and their own imagination.

I can't wait to see your new toys. By the way, what do you think of the Neca holiday version of Chucky? I really like the figure and am considering buying it.

Well said.

The Chucky? It's a pretty neat idea. I decided to pass on it, since I sold my Child's Play collection, but it is a cool figure.

Congrats ! Eradicator's sun glass is not clear plastic... This is why i passed on Booster Gold and Blue Beetle two pack. If Booster Gold's sun glass were clear plastic, i would be willing to pay that crazy second market price to scalpers on ebay.

I know. The lenses are a big bummer.

The new toys look great. I think I'll have to buy the Western Batman.

When I see the Pee Wee figure, it always comes to mind. NECA should make a detailed Mr. Bean figure now, and there should be plenty of accessories.

Congrats.

[SpasticPlastic]

The Western Batman is a fun figure.

I agree about Mr. Bean. I think NECA would be the company that could do it properly. I'm very excited about their recently announced classic Munsters figures. I have the Diamond Select ones and I really like them, so I wasn't really thinking I needed more. But, the NECA ones look so good. Hopefully they do the whole cast.

[Dotanuki]

Superman The Movie figures !!! But their quality is terrible....... lol I would be all over it, if Mafex made a Superman The Movie line.

Count Von Count !!! the best version of Dracul by far.

I thought i was done with collecting, but the curse like collector blood... lol

Wow, as always, you've added some amazing pieces to the collection.

I'm seeing a lot of figures from the Flip series. I think the range is quite extensive. Unpainted figures are probably just what you're looking for. It's a great opportunity to create your own characters.

Congratulations.

[SpasticPlastic]

Thanks!

Kite-Man lol

Yeah, i read that crapy Tom King, Batman run. Kite-Man part was not that bad though. Hell Yeah ! lol

I got the 3rd party Mix Max Deathstroke figure just an hour ago or something. I am super excited, i got nothing to look forward to on the mail as an international order for a long time.

[SpasticPlastic]

You'll have to let me know how that figure is. That's the Stab of Hades, right? I've been tempted more than a few times.

[Dotanuki]

Yeah, it is the Stab of Hades. The box of the figure has no window, but if the box is not sealed, i will take a look inside without touching anything.

As far as i can see from the reviews, the figure looks fantastic, but the articulation is not very good. The armor pieces block movement. If you are like me that what matters for you the most is how good the figure looks, then i advise you to pull the trigger.

I got the reissue one btw. I realised that it is reissue after i ordered it and i got no problems with getting reissue figures as long as there is no difference between editions.

LPZZ and Inart are also making a 1/12 Deathstroke Action Figure btw. So if you miss the Mix Max the Stab of Hades, there are those to look forward to at least. Oh ! Revoltech Amazing Yamaguchi is also making a reissue version of their Deathstroke.

I already have a Play Arts Kai and Mezco Deathstroke. If Amazing Yamaguchi, LPZZ and Inart Deathstroke all turn out good, i will probably get them all as well and build my Unholy Deathstroke Army.

[SpasticPlastic]

Articulation is the factor I consider least when buying toys. As long as the figure can stand up on it's own. I watched a review of Stab last night and for some reason the cloth goods looked baggy or something. I have seen photos of the InArt and LPZZ ones, they do look fantastic. Hopefully they don't cost a ton with import fees and tariffs and all that.

[Dotanuki]

The Cloth Goods of Mix Max Deathstroke is a bit baggy, but i have never seen any company manage to make tight fitting cloths on any 1:12 action figure.

[SpasticPlastic]

Fair point.

Gold Label Gold Batman... lol Well, Todd will keep on pomping those Batman figures as long as they sell.

I ordered LPZZ Arkham Knight Game, Batman. It is the best Batman figure out there so far from all the videos, i watched and all the pictures, i saw and there is such a demand for it... That makes it even more appealing for me so i couldn't resist anymore. I will get the Arkham Origins Game, Deathstroke as well, but i am not sure about Arkham Knight Figure. If they put an unmasked Jason Todd head as good quality as the Bruce Wayne head that comes with Arkham Knight Game, Batman then Arkham Knight figure would be irresistable for me as well.

And how many Arkham Origins Game, Deathstrokes do i need... I even got a Prime 1, 1/3 Statue of Arkham Origins Game, Deathstroke and i keep on getting Arkham Origins Game, Deathstroke collectibles...

I am not the Deathstroke Collector, i should be... I want more...
