The Toy Collecting + Figure Photography Thread

A thread for us forever-kids who dig this sort of thing to talk toys, figure photography, collections, etc. Show yours off, I wanna see em.
Obviously not my photos (you can find some of those in the thread), but look at these things:

Friggin neat. I should preface this thread by saying I tend to lean toward nostalgic properties/toys and I'm not all that "in" on the figure collecting scene. There are just certain pieces that I need and this TMNT/Power Rangers mash up is like smashing two huge aspects of my 90s kid childhood into one gorgeous project. Only one I'm not mega into is Tommy as the Foot Clan soldier (the Tommy head isn't in the photo). I dig that they brought at least one Power Ranger character into the TMNT world instead of vice versa but Tommy doesn't strike me as a Foot guy. That Shredder/Green Ranger mash up is a legit dream fig though.
But yah, share photos of your stuff or just talk about the toys (upcoming or retro) that interest you, etc etc.

This just came in the mail for me for Christmas:
It's a Figma set of Sega consoles for Figma figures:

As soon as I saw the Dreamcast and Saturn I knew I had to have it.

@Sid_Ceaser What exactly is a Figma figure? Never heard of those.
Anyhow, glad to see folks are still using this thread to share toy stuff, love seeing them.
I have a question: do yall tend to keep the majority of your figures packaged or do you "let em breathe"? For years now I've always kept mine in their packaging. But boy, is that starting to take up space, and for figures that haven't really changed in value or anything. Not that value is why I keep them packaged, I just like to have everything together as it was released, but lately I've been REAL tempted to just rip the plastic off entirely and display the figures in their full glory.
Buddy got me this guy for my birthday a while back and I finally opened him up the other day. It was very satisfying to tear him off the card:

Figma is a line by Max Factory and Good Smile
https://www.figma.jp...
Very extensive. Lots of stuff.
I keep some of my figures in their boxes hung up. Others I have opened and had on display and tossed the boxes. I have plastic shopping bags filled with various figures that have decorated shelves over the decades. Now all just hanging out in a giant plastic orgy in those bags.

Yah those, and Figma in general, seem to be badass. I may need to try to get my hands on a few of them.

Good Smile and Max Factory are good companies. GSC has some really high end stuff as well as really good budget options. They cover a big range.

I’ve bought a couple of Figmas on discount: Skyward Sword Link at GameStop and Gridman from Madman (anime distributor in Australia). Yeah, they’re pretty nice.
I’ve also got a few S.H. Figuarts: Sailor Moon, Super Sailor Moon, Sailor Mercury, Super Sailor Jupiter, Sailor Venus, Mario, and Kamen Rider Kuuga Rising Titan Form.
Also have several Nendoroids: Kirby (regular and Ice), Meta Knight, Waddle Dee, Isabelle, Professor Layton, Luigi, and Mei from Overwatch (I don’t play Overwatch, just thought she was cute). And to the surprise of absolutely no one, I have the Phoenix Wright and Miles Edgeworth Nendoroids preordered.
Hoping for a reprint and decent deal on Beam Kirby and an eventual King Dedede Nendoroid.

Nice! The Nendoroids are definitely cute. The only two I have are Geralt and Ciri.

I need a re-issue of the Lina Inverse Nendo. Not about to pay the going rate for that. Didn't care for the scale figure of her that released last year.

Yeah, still kicking myself for not picking her up a few OMGcons ago simply because I’m cheap.
@Lunar Rayearth figmas!

Man, it’s one of my all time favorite games and quite possibly my favorite rpg. If you’re a Star Wars fan, definitely check it out - I think there’s a remaster on the horizon coming up hopefully
