Wow, is that Evil Dead, the first one? XD Awesome selection friend..if I could, I'd take a pic of my FF1-12 collection, not much of nething plenty more have, still a awesome owned(to date) series. I also have a different brand FFVIII action figs. I own Squall n' Zell. Some of the coolest things you gotta look out for, because you'll never just "stumble" upon them....maybe.

Re: Video Game Collectibles

I wish I had a room for collectables like TGM's (And the money to buy them for that matter ) I still want that FFXIII shiva bike.

Capcom is only allowing pre-orders within Japan for this.

I would have sooooooo gotten this otherwise.

Ya the funny thing is, all the stuff I've posted is about 1/100th of my collection. I could open a friggin store. And I don't know if thats a good thing...I know my husband doesn't think it is! So many set backs lately, I started to go through everything and document it in written form and with photographs...simply because I end up buying doubles because I forget what I have!

Love the Star Wars chopsticks! I have my buddy picking me up 2 sets for my son's friend. He's a huge SW collector and I thought they'd make a cute birthday gift.

Re: Video Game Collectibles

This is the FFVIII Guardian Force Gilgamesh.

This is the FFVIII Guardian Force Odin. This is my favorite out of the set. This is the way I picture Odin and Selphir when I think about it.

I love this Tiamat figure. It's huge and really gorgeous. I think the Bahamut (the one that Zeiro posted) is little better looking but this Tiamat is no slouch.

My nephews have Gil and Odin, even a clear Cerberus, but they have the Bahamut version of the Tiamat figure (same mold, different colors) and I have to admit, I like him a bit better then the FFX version. He's smaller, but a bit more articulated. I also have Ifrit and Shiva from FFVIII buried somewhere from the GF collection. Always wanted to get my hands on Ultima Weapon, but could never find the bastard.

And I certainly know of the "pains" to collecting toys and collectibles. While only a small portion of my collection is video game related, my place is literally filled with all sorts of different action figures. I mainly stick with Transformers and G.I. Joes (and it's a great time to be a fan of both right now) I pretty much buy anything that catches my eye and falls in my price range. Though I would easily go broke if I didn't try to budget myself to a certain spending limit every month, there's a lot of cool toys out there nowadays.

I bought the BioShock 2 special edition. It has a bunch of great collector's stuff in it.

Ya I have all the GF's both clear and colored and both US and JP versions. Ya....told you I was a collection hoarder. lol Ya I have the Ultima Weapon too, in fact, I think I have two. I just remember two huge ass boxes and thinking of selling one because the 2nd one was taking up premium collectibles space that I could be using for other shit! lol But me and selling something is worse than pulling teeth.

Ya I know what you mean about a lot of cool stuff out there now! I haven't told my husband but the gas/electric bill is a month behind because I had to have FFXIII first print, FFXIII LE Soundtrack, FFXI TaruTaru mini figures, and FF Creatures Kai figures. He even bought me a box of the taru figures for our anniversary. lol I always make up for it with the little pittance I get from some of the volunteer work I do. They pay me for gas and such and then I just save it up and pay off shit I charge........or get behind on.

I bought the BioShock 2 special edition. It has a bunch of great collector's stuff in it.

There has been some really sweet stuff thats been released with games. The GOWIII game is going to have a very nice looking chest coming out in the LE version. The ACII release had an awesome BIG Altair figurine. I'll buy the LE version and then sell the sealed game on Ebay if its something that doesn't interest me but I still want the goodies that come with it. lol

Re: Video Game Collectibles

One of them Ultima weapons could net you a small fortune as the only two on ebay are going for 3-400 each mib. The GF collection was really cool, and I wish they would have done the same with summons from other games as well. I would kill for an FFIX Ark or an FFXI Ifrit. My nephews also had the Diabolos kicking around...that was the one I was forgetting. Cool toy, but couldn't stand on his own for beans.

I can't say I ever spent bill money on action figures though. I've been there with the whole bein broke thing and I can't say I was a fan. I'm pretty picky in what I buy...and pretty cheap too. But it's easier to be cheap when you mainly buy stuff right out of toy stores as opposed to imported collectibles like the GF figures. Shipping prices alone can be crazy these days, especially on big toys.

Unfortunately I don't have a picture of him, but in my game case I have a little Kain guarding my games.

3-400!!?? ARE YOU SERIOUS!!? /em runs off to check Ebay!

JESUS! Wow....I didn't know yesterday if I had 2 because I didn't bother looking it up to see the picture. So seeing the picture now on Ebay, I can definitely say I do have 2 of those. Man....I have been putting off taking stock of all my collectibles but maybe I need to get on that. No need to have 2 of them... LOL You guys always alert me to shit that I have thats selling for a lot. Feba told me about my sealed Ico's going for $60-70 too.

Was there a FFIX Ark figurine? I don't think I've seen one! I do have a Final Fantasy Master Creatures Ifrit, it looks like this:



It's not a large figure but its nice.

Ya shipping from Japan is insane. I remember the year FFVIII was released and all the GF's came out. I collected a couple on my own but I asked my friend in Japan to pick some stuff up for me. I gave him a huge list and asked him if he could pick up a few. lol The poor guy was like in his mid 50's then and I would giggle just thinking of this guy going around buying all these toys, especially since he was single. I was shocked when he told me he got 90% of what was on my list because I knew the shipping was going to kill me. He put all of it in 2 huge boxes and shipping was $275!

Re: Video Game Collectibles

Ouch, you probably paid just as much for shipping as you did for the toys themselves

And they never made any kind of figure of the Ark, but personally, I was never much for statues and smaller figurines. I like action and articulation in my toys! It'll probably never happen since it seems FFIX wasn't as popular as the other games, but if they could make a transformable Playarts Ark I would buy it without even a second thought.

Re: Video Game Collectibles

I'd be right behind you scooping up an Ark for myself! I really wish I had parameters like you do for my collecting! LOL If it has FF on it and was made in Japan, its pretty much sold. I even bought a Matchbox panel truck that someone resealed after they put a FFIX logo on it with ViVi.....or the homemade FF buttons....or my moogle hat....I need FFA...


Oh ya, found some pics of FF toys from the recent Toy Fair:








And any video game related collectible is not safe from my attention.....especially Chrono Trigger items!

Re: Video Game Collectibles

Finally got around to getting pics of some of my other FF figs. First up are the original FFVII "action" figures:



Next, a couple of mascot types that were packed in with the FFVII and VIII figures:



And finally, the FFVIII Shiva I mentioned earlier:



Again, I don't have many video game related figures. But if you wanted to see Transformers, G.I. Joes or other random figures I could totally make that happen!

Also: Bonus pic because it's too awesome to not share.

Re: Video Game Collectibles

I was moving some stuff around and came across this collectible. In Japan, when you turn your points in for SE products, you get to choose from various items not available to the public. (Like Nintendo's program) This is one of the items you could select:





LOL Got my Record of Agarest War for the 360....the Really Naughty Limited Edition!
