First 1/6 figure you saw

[Vortex]

Medicom RAH Boba and Jango Fett got me into 1/6 and then HT Bank Robber Joker started the obsession.

Going to go way back...

Somewhere around 1990, I remember seeing the 1/6th Billiken Nicholson Joker painted and on display at Golden Apple on Melrose in Los Angeles... and I was blown away. It haunted me. I bought it from the store once they were finished displaying it.

There were some amazing kits back in the early 1990s.

BR Joker was my third HT purchase however it was the first one to have the wow factor.

Back in the day . . .

I went to the local KB Toys in the mall on a Saturday evening and saw these.

I never looked back since then.

The first 1/6 figure I saw was the Kotobukiya Juggernaut. Bought it ...and then proceeded to buy the 1/6 Kotobukiya Hulk after that.

Ok, it's not a figure ...it's a statue. But that's how I got started with 1/6 scale.

Well, I did have a lot of Action Men who were 12" or so IIRC, but I'm not sure. I do distinctly remember someone giving me a big Spider-Man 2099 figure to play with. Checking the net, that was around 10" and it's an old ToyBiz figure. Funny thing, amongst the first Mnimates I bought was also a Spider-Man 2099. The first figures I saw on the 'net that I knew were distinctly high-end 1/6th stuff, were probably the early Hot Toys Iron Man & TDK stuff. It took a while for me to bite the bullet, and got myself a Big Chief 11th Doctor and later an HT SM3 SM. Sadly he had a broken ankle right out of the box and that put me off the hobby for a while. I have a feeling I'll need to buy a 2099 & hopefully a new and improved Raimi-Man at some point to close that chapter...

The French version of GI Joe man of action… was also the first one I got in '76.

Movie magic, an Australian collectible store in Bendigo, I've been obsessed with evil dead since I was around 8 and at the age of maybe 10 I saw the sideshow army of darkness ash for sale there while we were going on a family trip for something, boom I've been hooked ever since especially evil dead figures This was maybe 2002 ?

Bank Robber Joker from The Dark Knight. A teenager at the time, it was the only thing I asked for as a Christmas gift that year.

I had several touchpoints over the years until I fully made it my main collecting focus.
In the mid 90s as a child I had a phase for a couple of years that I bought Action Man. I had quite a lot of them, including some vehicles, clothing and accessory sets.
After I transitioned from playing with my toys to displaying them, my next 12 inch was the Marmit Sandtrooper around 2004.
Around early 2006 I got the Sideshow Part VI Jason Voorhees for cheap at a comic shop.
Then at the end of 2006 I got the Sideshow SW ROTJ Luke and ROTS Anakin, at which point 12 inch became my main collecting focus.
In summer 2007 I then got my first Hot Toys, Aliens Hudson.

Would have been one of these …

 

[Knightstalker]

Pretty sure my first 1/6 figure was the Kenner C-3PO back in 78. As for more modern stuff, I think it was either the old Sideshow Nosferatu or Army of Darkness Ash that got the 1/6 ball rolling for me.

 

[Antarion]

First "modern" 1/6 Figure I saw was the Hot Toys Joker. I was in awe but couldn'T underestand why it went for 300+$ It is just a toy right?!
But the realism had me and then it started

 

[Tommesbude]

My first 1/6 figure was hot toys captain rex. I preordered him two years ago, because he is one of my favourite characters. I thought it would be cool to have my fave figure in 1/6 format. Two years later, finally rex arrived. But in the meanwhile I got over 30 other 1/6 star wars figures and a lot more on preorder... Oh captain my captain, thank you so much for this journey :-D

 

[MPN212]

My first 1/6 figure was Sideshow’s first Part 3 Jason Voorhees. I got it around 2003/2004 and paid $34 for it brand new off eBay.

Been hooked ever since.

Cool tread. The first one I think I can remember would be Les Walker back in the day-06/07 searching for Indiana Jones stuff. It opened my life up and killed it at the same time. $$$.

 

[generalszabo]

HT Iron man mark 6 then IM2 black widow. Which led to a lot of iron men and war machine milk version which I still miss, I ended up selling every one to focus on statues...

 

[ebor]

Hot Toys Rambo M65 Jacket version.

The was a TV show in Canada on the Sci Fi chanel 2007 and they reviewed it.

I then entered the deep hole of 1:6 collecting-- an enjoyable but expensive ride.

 

[Darth Snoopy]

The first 1/6 figure I saw and bought was Hot Toys' Iron Man MK IV, the second 1/6 figure I bought was Hot Toys' IM2 Black Widow followed by Hot Toys' Captain America TFA.

 

[DeChino]

the first figure i saw in hand (and bought) was the hot toys joker. the first one with the terrible sculpt. i didn’t reallly care about the sculpt because i was so excited to get it around the time the movie came out.
