Re: What Are Your Favorite Retro Gaming Figurines?
I don't have any and do not intend to ever buy them. I think they're a waste of money & space and just collect dust. My advice is to save your money and use it towards a game or system, a car, a business, or a house.

By that logic an artists painting is not worth buying because it just sits there and gathers dust. Granted that these things are no where near as unique or intricate as a painting, BUT they should still command some value. Just the value of a plastic ornament <£5 not £50+

I had every single one when I was a kid. They were really sweet. I have no idea where this disappeared to though!wip3outguy7 wrote: Another random Solid Snake from MGS2 who is part of a set released only in Japan.
And a boxed Mcfarlane Maryl from MGS1:

I was at a Japanese import shop today (looking for games, but damn so expensive) and some of the detail in the Final Fantasy figurines is insane.

I'm seriously thinking about purchasing the Samus statue from sideshow collectibles.

Even though I'm not into FF, I bought one of the big FFX Bahamut figures because it looked cool.. It was on top of my monitor when I still had a CRT. It's unfortunately living in a box now. That's the only game related figure I've picked up that's coming to mind. They're all in boxes right now due to lack of space and whatnot.

Re: What Are Your Favorite Retro Gaming Figurines?
I would kill for a complete set of TF2 figurines. But there's not one, just one of the Heavy and it's waaaay out of my range.
I was excited when I heard that they were releasing Beatmania figurines but the girls had sunglasses instead of bras and it ruined them completely.
However, I'm thinking of getting some small Pokémon figurines and build a small diorama. The problem is that the Pokémon are not to scale and that can create problems.
Meanwhile I have been thinking of getting some plushes. Pokemon plushes seems really cute, too bad that Jumpluff is incredibly rare and fetches absurd prices. I was going to get a Taiko no Tatsujin plush but when I got to the shop they had just sold it. Dammit, it was a very cool plush =/
