Be Excellent To Each Other

I like action figures. Curently, I am enjoying Revoltech figures. They're small, they look good and they have masses of articulation and come with extra hands and weapons and things. You can see photos of the ones I've got below. They're all from Patlabor, which is an anime thingy I've never seen. I just happen to like the designs best out of all the figures in the range so far.

What action figures do you love? Do you have nice photos to share?

Is the middle one calling someone a loser?

That's a giant droid with attitude, man.

I think he's ticking someone off.

If you look closely he's about to get kicked in the behind by the first guy, though.

Those labors are cool.

I like my Master Chiefs:

I've got fucking active camo, n00b-f4g!

My favourite of the moment is the Dawn of the Dead Stephen/Flyboy figure:

But the little peg that allows him to stand up on mine has bost. MR EYE LEAKAGE.

My 2nd favourite is my Ren and Stimpy Yak:

But his ankles are really weak and have snapped recently. I have bost all my best toys. MR VERY EYE LEAKAGE

I LOVE TOYS!

I'll post piccies of mine, but I've got several Gundams, Pete Fowler Monsterism stuff, Qee stuff... the list goes on and on. My visit to Japan last year was most awsome, brought back loads of groovy stuff, but not nearly enough as I wanted to.

I had a little model of a panda driving a panda robot. It was awesome and I miss it terribly.
EDIT:
This is it:


Right I'm off to find another one...

CASTLE LEGO.

Also: Action Force. The range of guns and vehicles were eye-wateringly impressive to a 13 year old.

I have a lego Imperial Guardsman keyring. This is sad. I lost it the other week, but found it in the pub again.

I have that, too. It's in my pocket right this second. I also have a Kubrick one and a big statue of one. As in about 12" high, not life size or anything. I love the design of those guys.

Just fondly remembering these:



This even had removable panels that you replaced with battle damaged bits. Tops.





An inventively cool vehicle. How many armed snowmobile toys have there been?





This was excellent. Many a day spent running round the garden with this hayoooooge aeroplane. And not long after Top Gun either, which was good.


Then there were all sorts of cars, buggies and even a 24 inch long cobra that we had too. Ah, those were the days. Having looked at the box for the F-14 above, though, I had no idea they made an aircraft carrier as well! That thing must have been ridiculously huge.


The new stuff seems to be quite cool:

My not very 'action' figures (though as you can roll them along the floor they probably have more action than most).

I've got a model Firefly from, er, Firefly too. But I think that's about it.

Sadly I don't any own any action figures (do the toy car versions of the Toy Story/Monsters Inc. characters from the end of Cars count?) although I'm most likely to get a Wall.E action figure when they come out.



I've fallen for the little fellow.

Is that the bastard lovechild of Johnny 5 and a dumptruck?

Oh, and I have a full set of magic roundabout figures


Oh, and about 80+ Smurfs.

I'd really like these:


They are little cow/milk related figures that come in little cardboard milk cartons.

You could totally recreate the video to Coffee and TV with those.

This thread has made me want to buy action figures for my computer desk. The only current accessories on it are a big scanner and loads of paper of the bill variety.

I've got Yangus and the Hero from DQ8. They're both lovely.



See?

And Blade Runner?

It's the lenticular acrylic "film clip" thingamy from the new 5-disk mondo-tin-o-edition.

ACTION FIGURES


I LIKE ACTION FIGURES


I LIKE ACTION FIGURES A BIT TOO MUCH


Hellraiser woman, Elizabeth Bathory, Automan:


Micronaut's Baron Karza (possibly the best toy ever) and modern Battle-of-the-Planets-bloke


I've had two complete sets of vintage Star Wars figures and had to sell them both. But I kept the rarest, Blue Snaggletooth:


My absolute favourite is the old Action Force / GI Joe stuff. GI Joe / latter-day Action Force:


Earlier UK "AF" GI Joe releases:


And my best thing, a complete set of early Palitoy Action Force figures with almost all the little guns (even the terrifyingly tiny pistols):


I'm enjoying the current '25th Anniversary' GI Joe figures too:


ACTION FIGURES!

Yay! I have a full collection of the Hellraiser series 1 and 2, a few of series 3 and the Elizabeth Bathony one.

Where did the Dr A. action figure come from as up till now I just thought you happened accross an action figure that looked identical(ish) to you, but now I could well believe that you got it manufactured because it seems your a Action Figure Maniac who probably isn't even a doctor at all and was just in a mental asylum for people obsessed with collecting little people* and then escaped and took the name of his Doctor whilst satisfying his urges with little toy people until one day its just to much and you'll snap again.

* children

It is John Simm from Doctor Who, with a beard painted on.

...and plastic bags.

I'm fairly neutral on plastic bags. They're a storage necessity, though.

Man I wish someone who looked like me was an action figure so I could do that. 'Cos it works it very well.

Also: Don't diss the plastic bags that's infinitely better than the idiots who never open the box.... grrr....

Indeed. I am immensely pleased that everyone here seems to actually play with the things. I doff my easily-lost plastic cap to you all.

I am very, very tempted to buy these, but don't know if I can really justify it:



I also really want this (if I could afford it, the whole set, but especially this):

I'm so impressed by the newest Transformers cartoon series that I'll have to pick up a few of the figures when they arrive in our shopses. I like Bulkhead.

Not really owned many action figures since childhood but two I do have -
From Duke Nukem...

and from Star Wars - DDR Edition...

Han Solo on a dance mat?

Was that from Star Wars the Holiday Special?

All these people with toys on their work desks, if I did that I would be ridiculed and have bricks thrown at me...Boo!

I only have the one action figure, it's Boromir blowing his horn missus and he sits astride my Minas Tiras money box next to the fireplace. The only other thing I have (apart from bloody tens of Heroclix models) is my model of Venom made by a rather talented sculptor mate of mine.



I'm hoping he becomes famous so I can sell it for mucho monies.

Ooooh Venom!

I've got a few Venoms, but nothing that nice.

Yes it is lovely...he also made a smashing model of Rorschach, unfortunately it waws just that a single model. The Venom figure was the largest batch he's done and that was only five.

Hnngh! HNGGGHHHHH!!!

Any chance of a photo? I think we need to see that, in light of the excellent Venom statue.

Have you swallowed your tongue again D?

Hellboy oh! Hellboy (I can't find shots of my other figures)


The Warners!


Pikmangs!



TIN! ROBOT!


That's all I could muster, all my figures are up in the loft at the moment *sob*

I found another:

Look, Steev - I have the same robot!

Huzzah!

(Mimi, your robot looks sad and reminds me of Marvin, what have you done to him?!)

I told him of war and famine. I told him of that fact that once we die our lives amount to nothing. I don't know what got into him, he just got a bit down after that.

Just tell him all robots go to heaven... sorry, i meant to say all dogs go to heaven, robots just get scrappedlol

Huh, figures.

Why is Lando Calrissian wearing a red dinner jacket? I hope Vader isn't going to be there again.

It's because Heath Ledger is dead

(WARNING: Sound in link)

That's Isaac Washington from The Love Boat. Excellently, due to the penny-pinching part-reuse of the manufacturer, the generic soldier figure on top of him has the same head.
