A pretty good D-Arts Terry Bogard Figure. Hopefully they do some other KOF characters.

A damn sight better than those awful KOF 2k figures that were being sold at gamestops back when. Anyone remember those awful things?

Here's most of my stuff, I'm in the process of moving to a new place so some of my things are still boxed and others tucked away waiting to be sold in order to pay the new bills :lol:

That's awesome! You've got some of the unpainted Series 4 monsters! I never got any, they're really hard to find. :)

yeah I got all of these from bids in ebay, although I only spent the money for the early edition monsters.
When I was a child there was like a stamp-card album with first and second series of the monsters and It was totally awesome, if you wanted to you could give away your album and exchange it for a blister of 4 of these... totally not worthy, so the moment I got my first credit card I got these as my first internet-international buy through ebay to make it up for that pending subject from the past. That big blister with all those monsters inside cost me less than 30pounds shipped to Argentina, GREAT DEAL indeed.

I don't know what it was, but Monster in My Pocket were such addictive figures. They were like a non-videogame version of Pokemon back then. I got so excited to find a 25 point monster in those mystery packs, and I could tell you the name of any of them.

He's something you'll enjoy. I found this plastic suitcase while cleaning out an old closet awhile ago. I used to keep my MIMP figures in it...

It says:

Scary Suitcase!
creepy Monsters inside
Do not open unless your ready to
get scared!

sorry, this is a droopy marker!

:D I love that my 7-year-old self had to put in an apology for the bad marker after hyping up the frightening suitcase.

Link don't work Dom.

Thinking about picking up a Medicom Tetsuo on ebay, they're pretty affordable for a nice 1/6 scale figure.

That Snake-Eyes looks psycho. The only problem with it other than the excessive (for me) price, is that at 12 inches, a toy ceases to be an action figure and instead becomes a doll. Especially if it has cloth clothes. As cool as it looks, I don't think I am prepared to turn that corner.

I used to think that as well. Once I got a really nice 12" figure in hand and started posing it it became very clear that the size combined with high quality clothing was on another level from anything and raised the bar quite a bit as to what I expect from a nice high end collectors toy. If there's something you really want and have the cash or can get someone to hook you up with a nice gift go for it, you won't regret it.

Plus high end shit is limited so it may be $150 now but 2 years from now it may well be $500 and you'll be kicking yourself.

Oh, I absolutely agree.

Figures these days are incredibly posable. I have a couple from Medicos' Jojo's Bizarre Adventure line, and they can do all sorts of movements, expressions, etc. Another one that blew me away was S.H. Figuarts' Tiger & Bunny line. The articulation on my Origami Cyclone is simply phenomenal.

But until someone like D-Arts does a Samurai Shodown line, I'm happy with my pre-posed Iroha figure.
