Re: Video Game Collectibles

You're trying to make TGM spend money on toys.

Maybe I did for five seconds >.>

I believe both Feba and I have made offers to take that excess money and/or games and collectibles off your hands.

Re: Video Game Collectibles

I never played any of the Persona games myself, but Aegis and that other Persona character they got coming out are tempting. Though for some reason, the peg-leg thing she has going weirds me out

Re: Video Game Collectibles

I busted a gut at the peg leg comment! lol Hubby has a peg leg so stuff like that cracks me up.

But ya I pre-ordered the Metis figure (gives Kitten 'the look')....she has feet Ziero. lol

How's Samus coming along?

Re: Video Game Collectibles

Sadly I stopped progress on her about 2/3rds of the way in. I got a lot of her together, did most of the work on the legs and torso and started gluing things in place but when I was looking at it it suddenly hit me. That Salmon pink/orange she has goin on for her head/upper chest just will not work out as hoped. I stopped work on her until I get my lazy ass up and buy some paint supplies, mainly red for the two previously mentioned areas and possibly some green for her visor pieces (they're a little too clear). Once I get those two pieces painted up though (something I don't have much practice doing) all that will be left is assembling the right arm and drilling out the shoulder joints.

She's gonna stand a good 6" tall and have tons of articulation though, so it was totally worth it. When she gets finished, I'll only have to hunt down two more figures to finish my holy trinity of Super Awesome Cyborg Chicks.

Aigis only has feet when she's at school, when they're in Tartarus she's back on pegs again.

You're right, she needs a little paint. A little tip (if you don't already know), don't buy those expensive detailing brushes. If you buy a decent quality cheaper brush, you can just cut the bristles down to the amount and size you want and save some money. I have brushes that have one or two hairs only for super fine details.

So what are the last 2 in the Super Awesome Cyborg Chicks trinity?? Inquiring minds want to know! lol

Re: Video Game Collectibles

Thanks for the tip! I'll be sure to keep that in mind. My biggest issue right now is trying to find an actual hobby shop near me that sells the right supplies. It would be good to find one anyway as I really kinda wanna get into figure customizing anyway(there are things people do to Transformers toys that are just INSANE...in the good way ).

As for the final two, the first is the boss lady from Ghost in the Shell, Major Matoko Kuxxxxgi. Or more specifically, the version that comes from the Good Smile Gokin Tachikoma piece. The Tachikoma itself is pretty awesome, die-cast ratcheted joints and plenty of articulation and detail. But the Kuxxxxgi that comes with it is just perfect. Highly articulated, comes with both her Seburo sub machine gun, pistol and on top of it all she scales perfectly with the current generation of G.I. Joe figures. She blends in so well with them you'd have trouble realizing she wasn't one herself.

The other is the Battle Angel Alita. The only actual toy made of her was a special limited edition figure that only came with a side-story comic and cost like 80 bucks at release. However, she was frail, poorly made and fell apart if you looked at her funny. It was just way too much money to spend on a fragile toy and a comic I wouldn't be able to read.

But yea, those two and Samus have always been big favorites of mine and I'd love to get a hold of them in toy form. Revoltech is actually handling most of my favorite male characters right now but IMO Figma would do a much better job with the ladies.

edit:....wtf, the word Kuxxxxgi is censored? What the heck is a xxxx that it has to be censored. I've seen people drop F bombs left and right but xxxx is censored?

Re: Video Game Collectibles

Ya I have several Revoltech figurines and I've noticed a hit or miss type of attitude with quality. Sometimes I get the figure and think it's awesome but at other times it's just off...doesn't quite thrill me. It's still a good figure but just not as good as I expected.

Love the Major Matoko Kuxxxxgi figure! I can see how she would fit in with the G.I. Joe's quite well.

Nice Dak, but $300....whoo whee! lol I know there are quite a few high end FF figures out there that I'm mooning over myself. Odin and Sleipnir from FFXIII come immediately to mind!
