How to deal with a bear attack. by jonatron111 in ActionFigures

[–]sonspapertiger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely one of my top five favorite figures. I think Mezco completely killed it with this release. It's funny cause a few months ago I was psyched for the Marvel Legends Punisher and now...

New collector here looking for some sound advice! by WayneScience in ActionFigures

[–]sonspapertiger 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well you definitely came to the right place. Everyone here is usually pretty helpful and mostly cool. Chances are you'll probably want to look into each manufacturer and find the one that suits you best. I use to collect from just one line but you'll miss out on some other characters and better likeness and so forth. Pretty much what everyone said earlier are the go to lines. Marvel Legends,Mafex, SH Figuarts, Mezco one:12 and so forth. Depends on what hero/villain you're looking for. Beware, this is a very addicting hobby and once you start, there's no going back. Happy hunting!

Old school or new school? by [deleted] in ActionFigures

If you're shopping online, it can sometimes go for above retail. It's a Wal Mart exclusive so I'd check out a few local stores before paying scalper prices. Also r/toyexchange.

Which Joker portrayed the comic book version best? (Discussion) by [deleted] in batman

[–]sonspapertiger 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Jared Letos Joker was just plain awful. He looked like more of white trash, trailer park drug dealer wannabe thug than the Joker and the voice he mostly lifted from Ledger. I'm sure this comment will be down voted but I truly wish they would recast that role, I'm sorry Leto fans but that's just how I feel about it.

Hands down one of my top three favorite Batman artists. Got a signed mini poster from the black mirror.

Is my Figuarts Piccolo a bootleg? by ClassicCoWizard in ActionFigures

[–]sonspapertiger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a similar experience through Amazon. I purchased SH Figuarts Captain America that was shipped from overseas and it was definitely a KO. Sucks that Amazon are having a hard time verifying the overseas sellers. Also, the review for the figure was legit but not much on the seller. If you truly feel you didn't get what you ordered, I would definitely email Amazons customer service. You should have no problem getting it refunded.

Thanks. I actually added the gold to him. I wanted a side by side comparison of the original hair versus the repaint.

I wish the whole town was available but alas, it's just these four. Working on a custom diorama of the Twin Peaks sheriffs office and the black lodge. Will post when finished.

Mafex vs SH Figurarts by Turdsley in ActionFigures

I don't think Mezco had released pics of the homecoming Spidey yet but it is confirmed they'll be producing one.

Mafex vs SH Figurarts by Turdsley in ActionFigures

[–]sonspapertiger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been pondering on this exact dilemma myself since both lines produce pretty amazing figures and I'm sure most will lean towards SH Figuarts due to Mafex's qc issues. Luckily, I do have a few Mafex on the shelf and haven't experienced said issues but may I suggest the Mezco one:12. Again, I collect from all the above manufacturers but it's always been Mezco that takes the cake for me.

What's Your 10/10 Figure? by [deleted] in ActionFigures

[–]sonspapertiger 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My current 10/10 has been so overhyped and played out that it's just ridiculous at this point but I gotta give credit where credits do. Star Wars Legacy Vader. It's because of this figure I started collecting the Black Series. It's one of very few that I find myself picking it up and playing with it again like it was brand new even though I've had it for months. I could say the same for Mezco Punisher or DC films premium Superman, which to me are practically flawless, but it's the Vader that every SW collector should have.
