This year I got big into collecting figures from JPT Design. They did this excellent female Samurai a while back JPT's sensitive application of materials is stunning. Their new ninja figure is the best example of their workmanship This was the next figure by them, which I lovingly call...

I did not place an initial order, but I think the John Robinson Lost In Space figure takes the cake for this: 12 years The one I personally put a deposit on and will get soon is the D.2050.I Banshee Stealth Warrior (Light Version) https://www.bigbadtoystore.com/product/variationdetails/104689...

Anybody ever bought from these guys before? Beautiful stuff, but pricey https://wpolah.com/shop/

The Museum of Modern Art in New York only displays about 5% of it's collection of 200,000+ artworks. What is your display to storage ratio in your collection? When I lived in Brooklyn, I had an 1100 s/f apartment and displayed roughly 40% of my collection. When we moved to Portland, we got a...

it is possible to buy the ribbed strapping material used with many modern soldier figures in bulk? I would love to find a source where I can get colors other than black or green. I have at least one figure I would like to mod for this, and possibly more. If anyone has a source, please give a...

First and foremost, I go for character design when I want to build my collection. I like unique pieces that make a statement. It's difficult for me to keep track of all the new characters coming out from video games, streaming platforms, etc, primarily because I avoid social media. During Covid...

Kind of in the vein of Rogue One in that the story dovetails into the existing cannon. Hear me out: In Infinity War, we never saw any footage of Thanos devastating Xandar to get the Power Stone, his first Infinity Stone. Would be really cool to flesh out all the places and different cultures we...

I got the final figure installment the other day, so here are all four of the Heavy Armor Defense and Ground Suppression Force from Black 13 Park. Amazing set of accessories on all of them, and a minimum of four heads each

I have several: Astronauts. I cannot get enough of them. At this point, I think I am up to 10 astronaut figures Exoskeletons. These continue to fascinate me, but I feel I have not yet found the right one. I only have two or three of these so far Animals. I paid a fortune for a...

To me, 1/12 scales seems like such a compromise. I understand that for some people, they save money and space, but is that 1/12 scale figure really the best character representation in your collection? I have previously collected things like Burger King toys or whatever just for the novelty of...

These turned out to be harder to find than I thought Any recommendations?

I got my Wong figure from OSK yesterday. It was a bare-bones figure at a good price, with good details. He could have come with more gesturing hands, but other than that, I am happy with the figure. I was glad some third party agreed to tackle him, as his character is very important to me...

I assembled this figure from many different suppliers, most notably the Black 13 Park head that can be partially removed to show a cross section. He has no name, just 2 big butcher knives hanging off his shirt.

https://buzz.robosen.com/ I have the Robosen Optimus Prime converting robot and it's amazing. I am sure this one will be too

Every time I open up a new figure, I think about how many man hours it took to get this to my doorstep. These things are a combination of mass produced and handmade, which makes me think more hands have touched our brand new figures than we may realize. The extreme amount of detail is what drew...

I have been looking for one of these for years. I got Japanese model kit of one that was OK, I was just hoping of a boombox from the hip hop days of yore: I picked this one up from BBTS. It is also a really crappy sounding bluetooth player, but has a super nice weight to it and the detail is...

I don't collect to re-sell; I have not done it since I started collecting 1/6. I do, however, like to make each figure my own and/or follow the lead of some of the excellent customizers on here by repainting/weathering/adding detail. I have not touched my Pennywise yet, but it occurred to me...

I really like the articulations on this one from lego! I was considering getting instructions from Brickvault on another AT-AT: AT-AT & AT-ACT Combo - Minifig ScaleDefault Title But this licensed one from Lego is half the price and a similar scale: AT-AT™ 75313 | Star Wars™ | Buy online at the...

I feel as if collecting 1/6 scale has provided me life lessons in re-calibrating general expectations and life priorities long term. This year, I moved cross country, sold my old apartment and bought a new house as well as a car. The amount of coordination getting all those individual tasks done...

This is a collaboration between Dark Crown and Maze Toy Studio. Looks a lot like they were influenced by Black 13 Park. This series evidently is about the Cthulu mythos. The first figure in the series is a diver. Lots of diecast metal and quality materials. Honestly, I have been looking for a...
