Show your Toys!

[Tanuki]

No, not THOSE kind of toys...

Well, I'm a mad toy collector! I've been collecting toys since I was little, and though my mom made me get rid of most of them when I was younger, I salvaged some and rebuilt my collection by going to cons. Here's my collection as of Otakon 2010.

http://img517.imageshack.us/img517/9709/077rs.jpg
I'll do close-up pictures of the collection eventually. My favorite figure in my collection HAS to be the Protoman.

What are your gems in your collections? What gems do you WANT in your collections?

...anyone want that Jack poster?

[Mockery]

Haven't seen one of these threads in a while actually, good call. I'll post some of mine when I have a chance. I know I have some old photos of them lying around somewhere.

Anyway, pretty decent sized collection you have there, though I'm not familiar with most of those characters. Looks like anime-related toys for the most part?

[Phoenix Gamma]

Somebody really likes Kingdom Hearts...:rolleyes
I like your Protoman though :D I only have X right now and a capsule Bass figure, but I have that awesome Mega Man model kit on preorder. It looks way better than what Jazwares shits out.

I'm too lazy to take pictures of all my stuff right now. It's spread across my bookcase, dresser, and desk. I'll say right off the bat that Professor Layton is probably my favorite toy. You can give that guy any accessory and he'll make magic happen.

[Tanuki]

Okay, here's the promised close-ups.

The old MOBIP K-On! figures were really nice--figma released some better quality ones, but since I had already bought two mobips I bought a third one just for quality consistency.

I had to order that Blissey from China...

http://img690.imageshack.us/img690/5320/080dj.th.jpg (http://img690.imageshack.us/i/080dj.jpg/)
I've had the Clow Card book since I was ten. And like hell I'm letting go of it.

http://img24.imageshack.us/img24/4193/081so.th.jpg (http://img24.imageshack.us/i/081so.jpg/)

http://img697.imageshack.us/img697/9246/082vi.th.jpg (http://img697.imageshack.us/i/082vi.jpg/)
There's a story behind that random-ass mitten...when I was little I thought the mittens were puppets. So I named them Slushy and Slush-Slush. I lost Slush-Slush.

On a side note, Psychic Academy has got to be one of the worst manga I've ever read. It's like Twilight for anime fans, only less of a following.

http://img534.imageshack.us/img534/2383/083rq.th.jpg (http://img534.imageshack.us/i/083rq.jpg/)

http://img94.imageshack.us/img94/3483/086ep.th.jpg (http://img94.imageshack.us/i/086ep.jpg/)
I didn't want the Miku nendoroid petit...I wanted Haku. But it was from one of those random figure boxes.
And I don't like Kingdom Hearts as much as I used to, because the fandom is annoying as hell. I just thought the figures were really good quality--Play Arts tends to do a good job with figures. And speaking of Protoman, I'm waiting for Kotobukiya to release their new Megaman.

Heheh, sorry. I've been at school, then got a "job" of sorts (volunteering all summer), so my figures kind of got neglected.

[darkvare]

i have lots but i'm to lazy to post pics besides some are nsfw

[Dimnos]

Put em in spoiler tags.

[Mockery]

Ok, I found a bunch of my old toy photos. All the ones I've acquired in recent years are in storage at the moment, so I'll have to get pics of them later. Anywhere, here's what my collection looked like when I was still living in Richmond:

Robo Force! Man I almost forgot about those guys. :lol
Easily one of the favorite toylines of my youth. I made a Robo Force fan page (http://www.i-mockery.com/roboforce) a long time ago actually and eventually reviewed some of the other toys that were never released (http://www.i-mockery.com/minimocks/roboforce-unseen/). Check 'em out, I'm sure they'll bring back some memories.

THAT FREDDY! I love it.
Yeah, that was a good series o' toys. There's also a small Freddy toy from Matchbox up there too, where he's riding on a van.

That Spiderman is pretty amazing.
In an earlier apartment, there was this weird nook carved out up by the ceiling, so Re built an entire cityscape and had it backlit. We had that Spider-Man danging in front of it. It looked so awesome. I'll see if I can find a photo of it.

The lucky star figmas break very easily. Konata's arm wouldn't move at the shoulder, and I accidentally pushed it too far. Now her arm's held together by glue.

As for Miku, her stand's broken. The blinds in my old dorm suddenly collapsed atop my figures.

Yeah, Figmas don't stand damage too well...

[Fathom Zero]

i like small soldiers too, Darkvare

[darkvare]

i had another small soldiers but it was stolen :(

Then you have ham hands. 10 figmas and not one broken part.

Now that I think about it, Miku and Konata were my first figmas, so that might explain it.

But yeah I am a bit of a butterfingers.

[robo_rob]

Seeing as my toy collection is mostly in boxes in my basement at the moment, hows about I show you all the exclusives from this years BotCon?

http://i141.photobucket.com/albums/r76/robohate/IMG00512.jpg
This is the 2010 box set, the theme is G2 Redux, but it's a mix of G2 (one based on a never released toy, the other the first BotCon exclusive from 94) homages, European G1 toys that were not released in the US, and a guy from the Robots In Disguise cartoon being worked into the classic Transformers cartoon universe.

http://i141.photobucket.com/albums/r76/robohate/IMG00515.jpg
This is Slicer, the Attendee toy exclusive. Basically you have to preregister with the 'Primus Package' to get this toy. It's a homage to Slicer, who was a European Actionmaster. OR He can be used as a Shattered Glass Wheeljack. Shattered Glass is the theme of the 2008 set and is a mirror universe type setting. The fan club and convention organizers like to re-purpose toys as needed for fiction, so Slicer here can serve as two different official characters.

http://i141.photobucket.com/albums/r76/robohate/IMG00514.jpg
This is the first of the add on Souvenir toys for the set. You get the boxed set and attendee toy by preregistering, then there is others to pick up at the convention only, whats left are sold online. This is Rapido and Cindersaur. Rapido was G2 Autobot who gets one great homage here and Cindersaur is based on the G2 Firecons. The Firecons were 3 Decepticons from G1, who in G2 were released in Europe only, but just as a duo. Cindersaur here is a homage to the missing third Firecon.

http://i141.photobucket.com/albums/r76/robohate/IMG00513.jpg
This is the larger of the souvenir sets. It's Doublepunch, who was a European Actionmaster Elite (Actionmasters who transformed). Also is Scorch who originally was a European toy that came out in the time between G1 and G2. Lastly that little white square (sorry for the fuzzy cellphone pics) is Shattered Glass Ravage. OR it can be a new Glit toy, Glit being from the Japanese TF KISS toyline (its pretty gross, lots of implied rape)

http://i141.photobucket.com/albums/r76/robohate/IMG00516.jpg
Lastly, the troop builder pack of the set, a 3 pack of Sharkticons. The pic aint so great, so here is a better pic. LINK (http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Image:Timelinestoy-BC2010Sharkticons.jpg)

In fact, here's better pics and decriptions LINK (http://tfwiki.net/wiki/BotCon_2010)

[robo_rob]

http://i141.photobucket.com/albums/r76/robohate/IMG00517.jpg
Here's some Kabaya Candy Models. G1 Optimus Prime, Classics Optimus Prime, and Star Saber. They transform too.

HI GUYS!

[Fathom Zero]

OMG AWESOME

[Mockery]

Seeing as my toy collection is mostly in boxes in my basement at the moment, hows about I show you all the exclusives from this years BotCon?
Damn, I haven't seen any of those. Then again, I've never been to BotCon, but it looks like they did a nice job on the figures. I'm particularly envious of your Sharkticons. Always loved those guys :O

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

Rob, did you ever end up getting that Grimlock you were talking about?

[robo_rob]

Damn, I haven't seen any of those. Then again, I've never been to BotCon, but it looks like they did a nice job on the figures. I'm particularly envious of your Sharkticons. Always loved those guys :O
Yeah, each year there is exclusive toys that range from brand new characters to classic characters made from existing toy molds recolored and sometimes with new parts. Since 2005 (new people took over operations) each year is a big ass set that has a central theme. This years hit the ball out of the park for me in terms of awesome. Last years had a guy named Landshark that was a homage to Chevy Chase and his colors in vehicle mode looked like the station wagon from Vacation. That was awesome.

[robo_rob]

Rob, did you ever end up getting that Grimlock you were talking about?

Oh yeah, I've had him. However, you can score one at Toys R Us now for a lot cheaper than I got mine AND he comes with his accessories from the Marvel comics version of the toy.

[robo_rob]

Here's the newest Optimus Prime toy, based on his appearance in the current TF video game and book. It's nifty, but transforming him induces an act of rage that makes me wake up wearing purple shorts and wondering what happened.http://i141.photobucket.com/albums/r76/robohate/IMG00522.jpg

Probably turned into this...

Holy crap, Leader! Make up your bed. :)
That is a most impressive collection of toys! The last picture looks like you went to a toy store and just decided to buy the entire rack.

I have to say that Brobee sticks out the most though. Looks like he made Raph hang himself.

[The Leader]

:lol

I never noticed how Raph looked in that picture. Also, those pictures are a year old and some of the stuff in there is gone. :( I still have most of it but I think I got rid of most of the Spawn figures on the top shelf of my book case, among other things.

[Nick]

I don't think I could stand having a mess like that. :(

[Mockery]

That room is what I call SENSORY OVERLOAD :O :O :O

Hell of a nice collection, but it definitely needs some organizing so it doesn't look the aftermath of a three-way brawl between a toy store, a yard sale and a bedroom. I'd be wary of walking in there out of fear of stepping on some o' those toys.

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

The closest those two would get to sex is making their dolls hump.

[The Leader]

You're just upset that you don't have any dolls.

[Zhukov]

In primary school, a male friend of mine and I used to make our transformers have sex. Is that gay? Arcee was not involved if that helps.

[Phoenix Gamma]

What about her sisters?

And it's only gay if you liked it. It'd also make you a robosexual, which is a way bigger concern.

[robo_rob]

Only if you drew pictures and wrote fic.

Since Rog liked those BotCon toys, here is a few more. Sorry about the blurry cellphone pics.

The 2005 set, there was add ons with this too, but they are in a box thats under a box, thats under the ark...

And for the hell of it, one of the 2000 exclusives and a good view of my basement, which is where the bulk of my TF collection resides. One day, I'd like to get them back up in their own display room again.
http://i141.photobucket.com/albums/r76/robohate/IMG00537.jpg

[dextire]

Those are some great Transformers! Do you ever actually transform them, or do you just leave them pristine in the box?

[robo_rob]

I usually take them out, right now while my collection is sitting in a basement, its mostly boxed up. The BotCon ones I can pop right back into the boxes.

[robo_rob]

http://i141.photobucket.com/albums/r76/robohate/IMG00539.jpg
Since the Masterpiece toys are pretty popular here, here's a add on for the Optimus Prime one that came out in 2004. It's a hand that can fit onto OP's arm over where his hand is (duh) and holding a little Spike pvc. This is actually an official ad on, like the trailer originally was. Most MP add on kits are 3rd party.

Speaking of MP, those rat bastards just had to do Rodimus Prime when I'm broker than shit...

[Phoenix Gamma]

I got my Mega Man model kit in the mail the other day. Took about 2 or 3 hours to put together. Love 'em though. Came with three different faces, a buster gun, and small and large bullets to shoot. Oh, and a sweet E Tank!
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v298/PGamma/P1030648.jpg

Gotta touch up the marks where I cut, but other than that, this was really easy to put together, and he's got great articulation. Finally a good Mega Man toy.

[Sam]

I just got that Mega Man too.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v47/electric_shellfish/2010-09-26_13-58-20_579.jpg

[Phoenix Gamma]

YES!

I love the angry face cause he has no eyebrows so he shows anger by puffing up his cheeks :lol
Also recreating all his old poses is fun. I made him slide and was all WOAH SHIT IT'S LIKE IT'S REALLY MEGA MAN.

[MarioRPG]

ahahaha, that E tank is awesome.

[The Doctor]

Where did you purchase the Mega Man? Also, was there a Samus one? I saw an article that pictured Mega and Samus.

[Phoenix Gamma]

Uh, Mega Man can be found on a few sites. I got it off of a site called amiami (http://www.amiami.jp/shop/?set=english&vgForm=ProductInfo&sku=FIG-IPN-1223&template=default/product/e_display.html); they sell Japanese toys for really good prices. But I think you can find him on a lot of other sites. Look up "Mega Man Kotobukiya Kit". First result got me Hobby Search, which isn't too bad of a site. They ship internationally:
http://www.1999.co.jp/eng/10117409
You don't need to paint him or glue anything, it all snaps together. You just want something to cut the pieces off though and maybe a hair dryer to heat up the tabs after you cut them. Roll is due out in December and Protoman sometime early next year I think. Really great kit, really easy to assemble.


As for Samus, there's just a Resin Kit by this guy Dimension Driver. It'll cost you a shitload though. I'm looking at one for $50 on ebay right now which is actually really ridiculous. But you need to purchase your own joints and dremel them in. Ends in about 5 hours if you fancy yourself a handyman:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=170542743756&ssPageName=ADME:B:WNA:US:1123

Bandai's supposedly releasing a Samus figure sometime in the future. They recently announced a list and she was included, so I'm totally excited for that. But other than those and the piece of crap from Nintendo Power, you're not gonna find a Samus figure right now :(

[darkvare]

are these kotobukiya do it yourself stuff?

[Phoenix Gamma]

Kotobukiya is the name of the company. They mostly do statues of stuff like Marvel, Star Wars, and a random assortment of Japanese shows. Really pretty stuff; kinda pricey, but you get what you pay for.

Mega Man is part of another line of kits the company puts out where all you do is take these plastic sheets and cut the parts off and snap them together, then if you're hardcore about this kinda stuff you can paint them or maybe just put a finish on them. Depending on the figure it can take awhile, but Mega Man's pretty simple when you look at the instructions and only took me about 90 minutes to maybe two hours cause I was really concentrating on making clean cuts as I followed the guide.

http://www.1999.co.jp/itbig11/10117409n.jpg
Each piece is numbered and each sheet has a letter so it's super simple for anyone to figure out.

Thanks Phoenix!

[Kitsa]

I have boxfuls of he-man, thundercats and voltron stuff I need to do something with.

[The Leader]

Give them to me. I will pay you.

[The Leader]

Seriously. I will get you baby stuff and pay for shipping and do sexual favors.

[MLE]

Kitsa, I seriously need to talk to you about the voltron toys. I'll pay shipping and do art for you.

[MLE]

I'm totally serious. This is for a heartfelt present for someone else.

[The Leader]

I WAS HERE FIRST

[The Leader]

AND I WAS SERIOUS FIRST

[Zhukov]

Kitsa, send me everything you own. I can pay you in chocolate money.

I am dead serious.

[captain516]

I HAVE NOTHING TO PAY YOU WITH BUT MY UNDYING GRATITUDE
seriously though, I'm intrested

[MLE]

See, I wasn't a greedy fuck and I just offered for a specific toy. You all tried to jump in for EVERYTHING. Also, you all want it for yourself, and I want it to replace a cherished childhood toy for someone that's very special to me.

Also, she never said anything about giving away or selling actually. She just said she needs to do something with them.

[The Leader]

I bet she's going to make art with them or something dumb like that.

[Dimnos]

She is starting a website meltedchildhoodmemories.com :\

[Sam]

KITSA I WANT YOUR VOLTRON FOR THE SAME REASON MLE DOES.

[Tadao]

[stevetothepast]

Kitsa send me your old silverware, I keep throwing mine in the trash instead of washing it.

[darkvare]

kitsa put that stuff on ebay starting at a 100$ and may the best win

[Kitsa]

I need to get the boxes and see what I've got, we can go from there.

But since he turns into a kinda boombox looking computer in the current video game, he has a pretty easy to figure out fan mode. Or just a third mode they left out of the instructions.

His guns even fit into his chest and look like cassette spools.

Kids these days suck. They should know what a tape deck is. I didn't grow up around a victrola, but I know what one is

Cant he turn into a working mp3 player? How do they explain the name soundwave? Transformers suck since they made a cartoon out of it.

There is a working MP3 player Soundwave toy, but they keep insisting on making him a vehicle of sorts. He is the communications officer, so the name still fits in some way. Of course the whole novelty of being a tape player who's tapes turned into little dudes is pretty awesome. I doubt they'll ever get over that.

I regretfully didn't keep my childhood toys but I'm slowly trying to start up a collection again (including non-sports trading cars). I will post what I have soon.

Llast toy my friend made 4 me.

A mighty fine mirrored collection, Ex Leper! I especially like the Martian Leader. :)
Can you tell me what the mutant frog/lizard thing is?

[Ex Leper]

I took the pictures on Photo Booth, I really should have taken the time an reverse them. I will for the Secret Santa.

As for the mutant frog, I will have to ask my friend. I will update this post when i found out.

Sadly the Mars Attacks toy no longer speaks :(

[Ex Leper]

The frog is from the House of the Dead video game.

Oh yeah, you get two of them with the Johnny figure.
Cool stuff, man. :xmas1

One of my virtual friends did a Secret Santa between the two of us last year. The Frog was in the box he sent, he has the other one. I told him he should join the forum, he said he would when he gets his internet back, but who knows when that will be.
