SO MANY AWESOME FIGURES!


This figure is ROBOCOP EM-208 it's produced by THREEA and is in 1/6 scale. I think I will be ordering him next. He's up for pre-order.


Robocop 3.0 by THREEA is also a really nice figure! I don't know if I'll be able to order this one.


I still want Echo and Fives. I might have to order these guys next because they are probably going to sell out and they won't be offering them again. They already have newer versions of them. The price for both right now is $179! And they would go well with my Captain Rex!


Then there's Master Chief, there are several companies making a 1/6 scale version of him. This picture is Play Arts version. I don't know which one to chose.

Well, looks like I've got some decisions to make. I'd like to get all of them but, I can't afford them all and still eat. LOL

HALO 2 MASTER CHIEF BY McFARLANE TOYS


I only have 3 Master Chief figures. This figure that I just purchased yesterday is my favorite of my 3 figures that I do have.


Why is this my favorite Master Chief? The articulation is the best that McFarlane has offered to date. The other figures, also McFarlane have similar articulation but the armor doesn't allow for much movement. So, it doesn't really matter how many points of articulation they have.

 


Also, the paint job on this figure is amazing! There are silver brushing on the figure that show armor damage that look great. My so far...I can't find any paint slop on him either.




My entire collection of Halo figures includes 3 Master Chiefs, 3 Spartans and 1 Cortana.


Believe it or not...I've never played Halo. I've only looked at 2 Halo Movies. I've been debating over weather to purchase a Playstation 4 or the new XBox. I'm hooked on Mass Effect that I play on Playstation 3.






Here is a picture of all 3 of my Master Chief figures.


Thanks for stopping by my blog. I'll be posting a video review on this figure soon.

SIDESHOW AND THREEA PRE-ORDERS




Waiting on this pre-order that I ordered back in April 2013. Being a action figure collector requires lots of patience.



Just pre-ordered Commander Shepard. Now the wait begins.

I have been debating what figure I wanted to get next and then....I log on to one of the action figure sites I follow and see this!!! ThreeA is working on a 1/6 Scale Commander Shepard action figure! I have been praying for a decent figure from this game.

Mass Effect is my favorite game of all time! I was hoping for a figure from Neca or Mcfarlane seeing what they did for the Halo series.

I never in my wildest dreams (and they can get kind of wild) Imagined that I would be blessed with a
Commander Shepard in my favorite 1/6  scale.

I will definitely be preordering this figure when it comes available because I can't miss out on this one. I'm hoping we get an alternative head with Shepard's likeness. That would be awesome!
Now if ThreeA really wanted me to pass out (and send them lots of money). they should make the female Commander Shepard also. I always play as female Shepard. Guess that's because...I'm female.

Shepard is my Holy Grail of action figures and will be the star of my collection.

Thank you, Thank you, Thank you, Thank you ThreeA!

ACI WARRIORS


I am going to be so broke this year. (sigh) This figure looks amazing! ACI is the same company that I brought the bodies for my Tony Stark and Wolverine figure. I love the detail on this guys uniform. Absolutely amazing.




Loving this figure. Can't wait until he goes up for preorder.



Hope they don't come out with any other figures or I'm going to be in major trouble.

BRING UFC FIGURES BACK!

Okay. It might be to soon to start a campaign to bring back one of my favorite line of action figures but, it can't hurt to try.


UFC Forrest Griffin Kmart exclusive and mini Forrest deluxe figure.


Andrei “Pitbull” Arlovski 




The UFC figures have 32 points of articulation and a spot on likeness to the fighter they represent. The were made by Jakks Pacific and only costs $10! That's unheard of for figures of this quality.


I don't collect WWE figures. I did pick up this John Cena figure. (Only WWE figure I own.) No offense to WWE collectors but...the UFC figures are way better. They stand around 6.5 to 7 inches and have more articulation which makes for better poses.



And I think there are like...50 thousand John Cena figures. LOL If they can make that many John Cena's I  don't see why they can't make UFC figures.


I understand, I know it's a numbers game. I guess the figures weren't selling like they wanted so they had to stop producing them. I'm just in a small little town but, they were selling out here.


Chuck "The Iceman" Liddell

I for the life of me can't understand why these figures didn't sell. They were set at an great price point, tons of articulation and awesome likeness of the fighters they represent. And the UFC fights are enjoying a tremendous following! 


George ("GSP") St-Pierre 

Well, it may not do any good but, I'm going to start pushing to bring back these awesome figures and...also getting a 1/6 scale line would be nice. You never know.


And I don't mean a really big corny looking non-articulated figure.

CLOSE UP LOOK OF MY KITBASHED TONY STARK FIGURE



















I like my Tony Stark Kitbash. I think it looks pretty good. I'm thinking about doing another. The body came from Cotswold Collectibles. Its the ACI Medium Body Christian Ver 1. (Asian) The head sculpt I found on EBAY and the clothes I ordered from Cotswold Collectibles. (Very Cool Stuff)

The Wolverine I put together has the same body and I also ordered the Wolverine head from Ebay.




The clothes Wolverine is wearing I put together from stuff I had laying around from other figures. I might try to put together a more movie accurate look a little later.

1:6 SCALE CAPTAIN REX




I've been wanting Rex for a long time and now that they are reissuing him, I thought I'd better jump on the preorder. He's going for $169 at Sideshow Collectibles. I didn't want to order him right now since I am still paying on The Wolverine and Nathan Drake but, they won't start charging me until Oct. since it's a preorder and I'll be finished paying for the other two,.

I'm hoping to get an Iron Man figure before it sells out but, I won't order it until I finish paying for Drake and Wolverine. Hopefully it won't sell out.

I'd been wanting to start a collection of Star Wars figures and who better to start with than Rex? I've already checked out some reviews on You Tube from the previously released figure. Looks awesome! I love this guy!

I have been debating over some of the smaller scale Star Wars figures but in the end, I really don't like the smaller figures.

The only smaller figures that I will buy is Marvel Select, Figma or Neca figures because the likeness to the characters is amazing and the attention to detail is also.

Well, I don't know how much I am a collector on a budget anymore. It seems that lately I've been collecting higher end figures all be it, on a payment plan but still...

RAINY DAY



So, what do you do when it's raining and nasty out? I rearrange my figures on my desk. I go through my stored action figure collection and take out the figures I haven't seen in a while. I plan what direction I want my collection to go. And then I listen to the  rain and take a nap.

Yes I know. That's not Roadie from the last 2 Iron Man movies. That's Terrence Howard from the first movie. I don't have the newest one.
