that Ganondorf is 1/4 scale, though. It says 23" tall, which I'm sure is the reason for the high price. Probably a lot heavier, too.

Yeah, F4F stuff is Polystone. It weighs a tonne and is heavy and solid enough that you could easily bludgeon someone with it.

Hey geek gaf. I'm currently in the middle of a MGS fan binge and want to pick up some figures. Specifically I'd like to get get one figure to represent each games: MGS-MGS4, plus PW. That's five figures total. What are the best figures for each game, if money is no barrier? Any advice appreciated!

New Hot Toys Snake and the Boss 12" figures seems to me they're the best looking figures.. :)

For MGS1, you can look at the Play Arts Kai lineup from Square Enix. They have Grey Fox, Solid Snake and Meryl.

Hot Toys have Naked Snake and Boss from MGS3.

I'm hoping for Hot Toys to come up with their own version of Grey Fox one day.

Got my Samus figma's last week, they are hella rad. Won't post pictures because there are already a few on the thread but they truly are spiffy.


Next up this month, Tekkaman Blade and Evil figmas and a couple of Yotsuba& Danbo variants. Shelves bulge - wallet weeps.

HT Avengers Nick Fury has landed!! Alert geekGAF, shit just got real.


Good sculpt. Unique looking enough where they didn't make the faces too flawless and 3d model looking.



Suit case for Tesseract lights up!


Nice amount of accessories along with different poseable hands.


Pending full Avengers team collection.

Just do it big.

The hot toys figures that people have listed. . . . . maybe the Square Enix Play Arts . . . but definitely the Three A Rex with Kubricks :)

Get the LED set "Dioder" (should be the same name worldwide). They stick underneath the shelves so you just need to tuck the cables away.

They light up pretty well too:

Haven't completed an order with them since I had to cancel because I found a better deal somewhere else, but they charge you at the time of shipping. At least I believe they do.

They charge you at shipping time, but at preorder time they put a non-refundable charge of the first $40 of the purchase (at least this is how it's working ont the new premium line)

Just got this in the mail today. I think I'm done collecting Marvel Bishoujos unless they announce new ones. The remaining ones I don't own are just variants, or figures I don't really like, or characters I don't really know.


I have
Psylocke
Emma Frost
Ms. Marvel (original and binary)
Black Widow
Phoenix
Jean Grey
Mystique
Scarlet Witch
Storm
Rogue

Now the question is, do I start collecting DC bishoujos? There's a few I really like. Wonder Woman, Poison Ivy, and Huntress are all top notch.

I would say yes. I have Batgirl (black ver.), Catwoman, and Poison Ivy, and I think they look amazing. I'm just waiting for Harley Quinn and Huntress to round out my Batman universe.

Same here although I do plan to pick up Huntress and possibly Power Girl. I have Batgirl, Catwoman, Wonder Woman, and Poison Ivy from DC along with the Christie tekken Bishoujo. I am really looking forward to seeing the Street Fighter Bishoujo's more than anything right now although I would jump for the chance to get a Starfire Bishoujo if they were to release one. Not enough room for all these!

I hope they reissue Catwoman. I'm definitely going to pick up Huntress and Harley Quinn.

And this just arrived! Woot.

You say that as if all comic heroines didn't have big boobs to begin with. They aren't any more sexualized than the source material.

That's true. I guess it's "Anime Edition" then. They look pretty cool.
