I actually got a toy for my Birthday for the first time in like 15 years. It's a large Star Wars Darth Vader Transformer that has four different modes!

Spoilers!
A friend of mine said if Vader looked like this in the movies, Luke would of pissed his pants and run away screaming. Yes, that is a flaming light-saber. I'm pretty impressed with all of the little details. All four modes light up and have appropriate voices and sounds effects. The second mode is a Star Destroyer. It all snaps together nicely and it's also very detailed. Again, every mode lights up and has sound effects that correspond to each different mode. This is Anakin Skywalker mode. In addition to the dual blue light-sabers, there's also a shield you can give him. Though the shield one doesn't look nearly as nice when lit. The last mode is a Jedi Cruiser. I like how different each mode looks from one another. This one fires those two missiles on top.

Ha, that's pretty great. I have one in storage where Darth transforms into the Death Star. Pretty ridiculous, but I tend to love ridiculous toys anyway.

As soon as I'm allowed to post links/pics, I'd love to share my collection with you guys here. It'll be a shitload of pics though, I hope that's okay? Think 30 pics... let me know if that is too much for y'all.

Mockery · #30

The more the better. I love seeing huge toy collections. Just make sure you embed the photos here in the forum rather than posting links to the photos.

Okay, cool. Thanks RoG!
Here goes:

These are some of the few figures I own still mint in package. Gotta love HOOK.

And here's some stuff that's not in glass cases (but on top of them):

And one more glass case:

And while not technically "toys", I also got these:

Plus some "MOTU" style buff 1995 Kenner STARWARS figures stashed away in boxes and a shitload of prequel toy stuff that I just don't really want to display any longer.
My roomie has 1:1 R2-D2, C-3PO and Yoda as well, plus more prop replicas, mostly STAR WARS. Maybe I can post some pics as well if anyone's interested.

How much money have you spent on glass casing?

obihahn · #33

Not that much, actually.
Right now it's 6 IKEA Detolfs plus one larger size glass case that I've had for a couple years and bought cheap.

Is that a Hot Toys Iron Man? I keep hemming and hawing on getting one every time a new suit gets announced, but it's never at a time when I can afford it

Nick · #35

Man, the one toy line I will always love is G.I. Joe. Anyone else like it?

darkvare · #36

i have some but they are from the sort of new era and they kinda suck, the bad thing is that some of the old ones i owned were thosse that had a rubber band holding them together and they just broke

Far from it, unfortunately. Hot Toys is the one brand I dare not start collecting as well. All the extra cost importing them makes them way too expensive...sucks, because they are the best 12" figures you can get.

My Iron Man is just a mostly static electronic 12" kiddie toy.

That's Dr. Evil in his space suit, McFarlane Toys "Moon Mission Dr. Evil":

Worst than the rubber band breaking was when their thumbs snapped off.

That might just be the best figure display I've ever seen. I really want to get one of those Samus Figmas, but I can't find one for less than a crazily high price.

Phoenix Gamma · #43

Maybe it's my illustration background, but it took a good 30 minutes and about 15 photos to get that shot just right

Samus is going back up for preorder along with Link pretty soon (or maybe it already has? I dunno.)

I think I paid $35-40 for mine before shipping, but the yen was waaaaaay stronger at the time, so you'll probably get a better deal once it's rereleased.

Some new acquisitions:

Mockery · #45

Ha I just noticed 'em now, but did that Stripe come with those movie candies, or did you just buy some miniature ones to stick in with him? Either way, great stuff.

obihahn · #46

Stripe came with all those candy goodies (mhhh...ZING, Milk Balls and Chompers...), plus that sweet saw blade he is holding to fuck up Billy with.

I think I need more Gremlins. NECA has a bunch of awesome figures to choose from.
