I am an action figure JUNKIE! I have figures from lines such as...
Masters of the Universe, Thundercats, GI Joe (#.75" and 12"), Max Steel, Action Man, and other figures I just happen to think look cool. So, anyone else here into Action Figures?

I think I used to have a Skeletor with no arms or legs. Maybe it was my brother's.

we used to have pretty much all the he-man figures, including there castles, one which had a really cool mircophone on it. but that was pretty much it, they all got given away when we got too old.

I got some tiny models to stick on my monitor. I bought a Ghost in the Shell Motoko Kusanagi model so I'd have the miniature Fuchikoma toy that came with it, also a Megaman Legends Kobun/Servbot keychain, a FF8 Seifer keychain, and 4 Digi Charat Gashapon (Capsule Machine) models.
Here's a picture I found on my webspace of a couple of them: Kobun & Fuchikoma (http://www3.telus.net/anapan8/kobnfuch.jpg)

I too have a lot of the 'original' He-Man. I have a 40 litre container full of the figures including zoar, battlecat etc. I also have Snake Mountain and Castle Greyskull. The top honour goes to the Eternia set tho. Its like twice as big as the castles with a train and stuff and you can attach the other two to either side.
I also have a hundred or so original Kener Star Wars Figures from the 'movie attachment' releases (ie.. with "star Wars", "Empire Strikes Back", "Return of the Jedi" on the cards.. not a lot of the "Jedi Order', or "power of the Force" sets etc) with a few of the sets that went along with them. Including the original Death Star one made of Thick Cardboard. Man I loved that thing.
I also have the Raiders of the lost ark Figures, Buck Rogers Figures, the Micronauts 'beasts' (I never got into 'normal' micromauts, but the beasts were cool) etc..
I even Have "Village People" figures and..
Daniel Laruso and Mr Miagi From Karate Kid!!
Man.. I could make a fortune if I sold all this crap haha!!
I also have a whole room full of Lego ranging from about 1976 to around 1990.

I have some old GI Joes from my childhood, other than that, I only have the LEGO Millenium Falcon & figures, that I have been hoping to rebuild accoding to my own design. Too bad I cannot find the time to do it. :cry:

I was big on collecting DBZ action figures a few years ago. Nowadays Runescape has taken me over. I have thought about how pointless the game is even though in some ways its fun, but I guess I just want to be better than the rest of the other players while trying to be the best. At the moment though I've been playing Halo for the PC which is pretty fun. That got pretty off topic didn't it?:confused:

I have some Digimon figures as well. The red and blue dino Mon, the blue dog Mon, and the yellow drilling Mon. Sorry but i forgot the names. :doh: (Now I remember, I bought them at Walgreens [a drugstore])

When I was in first or second grade, I had the complete first two or three sets of Pokemon cards. I still have them somewhere (I don't know where.) Maybe I'll sell them someday when they're hard to find. Thinking about how mass produced they were, that will probably take a while.
Sorry about that. I got carried away. I also had action figures of them!
I currently collect the Astro Boy figures. They're cheap so I figured... Why not? n_n

Walgreens? Where I live there's a walgreens on almost EVERY CORNER!!! There! I said it. I feel better now. :)

Pokemon was loved by many in my area for a long time but nowadays it's not as popular with the people I know. :eek: Even though alot of people I know say that, I finally make them admit the truth. :lol:

I brought the Japanese yellow version to school one day and all my friends were begging for turns! They practically got in line as soon as I announced it's presence. Strange, huh?

astro_mcfly, not to be personal, but what state do you live in? If I'm breaking a rule I'll delete this message because right now I'm going to check the rules. You don't have to answer if you don't want to, It's ok.

My dad had ordered the Japanese gold version for me before it came out in english. I loved it!

Aww, I shoud've named my other cat Tobio.
But Tobio was a boy.....and my cats are girls:doh:
Should I have named her Uran? :p

He said something before about living in London... Or am I mixing that up with someone else?
DrFrag
22nd June 2006, 05:24 PM
His profile says "Planet Delta a far Planet away from earth". :lol:
astro_mcfly
22nd June 2006, 05:31 PM
Maybe that's why he couldn't find anything. I'm guessing that there may be a high protective tarrif for those on Planet Delta. "BUY DELTA." ha.

Oh, I'm not sure of the status of Astroboy action figures there.

I collect mainly action figures/models and videogame related plush toys, nowadays. Hea. I have so many that some are in storage. I wish I had room for them all (or the faith that my cats wouldn't chew or eat them). ^^;
Most prized action figure? Hmm... My Luke Skywalker in his Rebel flight suit or my Rockman Dash 2 Rockbuster model. B) (And if you are wondering, my prized plush is either my Sonic the Hedgehog doll (without the voice button version) or my Mr Driller "Driller C" ^__^ ).
astro_mcfly
23rd June 2006, 09:59 AM
I know I have a pretty valuable figure somewhere, but I don't remember what it is. I have five Astro Boy plushes from Japan that I got for my birthday, but that's not a figure. '.' ... So I'll keep on thinking and get back here as soon as possible. (That sounds like an answering machine, ha!!)

Nice Deviant Art pictures Breakman!

Thank you very much. ^_^ I checked out Breakman's and I thought it was rather well done. Eileen's got one too. n_n

23rd June 2006, 05:49 PM
If you count little 1.5" figures, I have nearly every Digimon toy of that size. I'm still missing about 8 of the 55 sets that were released.
Latu
24th June 2006, 02:48 AM
Heh heh, that picture of Astro in Kimba's signature is from Astroboy Omega Factor. He's getting ready to use his........machine guns.....that come out of his butt.;)

Funny thing is, it's alot easier to change Mario into Dr. Elefun than you would think. :p
Breakman
25th June 2006, 05:53 AM
Kinda off-topic, eh Latu and Mcfly? ^^; Thanks for the compliments nevertheless! B)
dose any one have Atlas figures
I only have the 2003 version action figure... I don't know if there are any other Astro Boy related action figure series that has a Atlas figure... I want to say yes, because I think I saw one on Ebay before but I don't remember...
You know, Kimba's username reminded me of an action figure that I wish SOMEBODY would make... Kimba the White Lion figures! Now that would be awesome! B)

I must move soon, so I guess I need to sell my old GI Joes & other action figures. Too bad I pianted their hair & pretty much made them unworthy of collections.:cry:

I started collecting Star Wars figures for my son... but I buy them as much for myself as for him. I've gotten a bit carried away & In less than a year he's aquired more star wars toys & vehicles than I had in my entire childhood! I hope I don't spoil him! I've been trying to find Astro Boy figures too, but there's nowhere around here I can find anything like that. I have a box of 3 inch "sof-bits" figures from Japan on order... I was determined to find an astro figure for him that was to scale with the Star Wars toys so we could play with them together.
