karamazov80 Posted February 8, 2011 Author Share Posted February 8, 2011 Thanks Venom. I guess it was too much to hope folks here would try to dissuade me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minivenom Posted February 8, 2011 Share Posted February 8, 2011 HAHAHA!!! I tried twice, and twice you issued a rebuttal. Don't hold me accountable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karamazov80 Posted February 8, 2011 Author Share Posted February 8, 2011 Those were half-hearted attempts at best At least, that's how I read them. . .you know you have a real problem when the most blatant attempts to dissuade are read as support and reinforcement Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minivenom Posted February 8, 2011 Share Posted February 8, 2011 Well, if it makes you feel any better, I get comfort reading your posts and knowing that you're farther gone than I. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luke314pi Posted February 8, 2011 Share Posted February 8, 2011 I say if you are going to get $700 worth of enjoyment out of it, then go for it. It's not an unreasonable price for a 1/6 scale custom of that level of quality. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

karamazov80 Posted February 8, 2011 Author Share Posted February 8, 2011 I'll buy one of your P1 Preds if you need help funding your addiciton... It is not beyond the realm of possibility that I would sell my, er, remaining spare But I've decided to offload figures I don't take out of their boxes anymore first, and so far that's working pretty well. I sold off most of my Transformers Classics figures, and DCUC and Marvel Legends might be next. If/when all that sells, I should be in pretty good shape! I want to unload some of my excessive Minimates and Kubricks, but I'm too lazy to take all the pics and list the auctions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
youbastards Posted February 8, 2011 Share Posted February 8, 2011 Are Marvel Legends moving at all? Let me know if you have any luck selling them, as I have about 16 plastic bins full of unopened Toy Biz Legends that I would love to part ways with...

karamazov80 Posted February 8, 2011 Author Share Posted February 8, 2011 I have not a clue yet, as I haven't researched them. But I do know Legends Face-Off Cap is going for a fair price, relatively speaking: http://completed.shop.ebay.com/i.html?_nkw...g=50&_rdc=1 Sadly, that is actually one of the few figures I wouldn't want to get rid of.

youbastards Posted February 8, 2011 Share Posted February 8, 2011 Time to dig these out and piece the off one by one. I think I have that Face Off Cap figure both loose and MIB. Series 6 Deadpool is bringing pretty big bucks too, I have him loose and MIB. I think I have 3 or 4 of the BAF Sentinels too, those are going for around $50.

karamazov80 Posted February 8, 2011 Author Share Posted February 8, 2011 I have a feeling my Palisades Muppets will be worth a small fortune once the new movie comes out, but the wife will not allow me to sell those She's also made several other figures of mine "off-limits" for re-sale, which makes my life a bit more difficult.

Webhead Posted February 8, 2011 Share Posted February 8, 2011 LOL, my wife encourages me to part with anything I can... +1. Mine calls everything figurines because she knows it pisses me off. She doesn't know about my 1/6 figures because I don't have a display case to put them in. She'd definitely use the word "doll" if she saw them.

karamazov80 Posted February 8, 2011 Author Share Posted February 8, 2011 I guess that's the double edged sword of a spouse having sincere support and appreciation for your hobby. I don't get criticized for any of it. She actually gets angry if I suggest selling certain things I think part of it is--she knows I have an obsessive personality. And if it isn't this, it's gonna be something else. . .better the devil you know, I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shanester Posted February 8, 2011 Share Posted February 8, 2011 My wife is kind of the same way as yours K80. She really doesn't collect anything but she knows how passionate I can be about my stuff. It seems like decades ago now, but I sold off a lot of my complete vintage GI Joe Adventure Team and Action Man stuff to buy her a nice engagement ring. She loved the ring (and said "yes" of course) but was not happy about me selling my stuff to buy it. She was especially upset because I sold my Action Man Argyll and Southerland Highlander as it took me years to complete, but she got over it...

My wifey actually likes it when I sell some of my hobby stuff, although I am also lucky because there are certain pieces that I told her that I was going to get rid of to fund my hobby and she literally told me that if I got rid of my favorite piece (Sideshow Doc Holliday 1/6th figure) she would physically assault me. It was sweet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

youbastards Posted February 9, 2011 Share Posted February 9, 2011 Well, I got my Hot Toys Mark IV Iron Man today, my first venture into Hot Toys 1/6, and I'm really impressed with everything! Except for the fact that the thumb on the right hand (with moveable fingers) snapped right off when I tried to bend it... I don't know if it was sitting outside on my front porch in the cold too long, I didn't have any problems with the fingers on the left hand. Does anyone know if there is a way to contact Hot Toys to get a replacement directly (their website is really slow to load for me), or am I stuck going the third party route? I checked Toy Anxiety, but they don't have any Mark IV's broken down. Any other suggestions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karamazov80 Posted February 9, 2011 Author Share Posted February 9, 2011 Those hands are pricey on the secondary market. You can contact HT at the following: cs@hottoys.com.hk But it may take them a couple weeks to get back with you. Note that you'll most likely have to provide a receipt and picture if they allow a replacement/exchange. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

karamazov80 Posted February 10, 2011 Author Share Posted February 10, 2011 (edited) Toy Anxiety of course, Monkey Depot does breakdowns, and, uh, I don't really know of anyone else. If DocHolliday shows up soon, I'm sure he could give you some other options. Update in-progress Dude figure: I think I've gotta go for it with him. Here was Rainman's last figure, btw--Dexter. http://www.rainmanart.kr/goods/images/20110121112836cont.jpg Edited February 10, 2011 by karamazov80 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
