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.

That’s pretty great. I think I would have made Raph the wolf man though. He’s just that much of an butt-hole.

Sorry for the poor photography but I totally forgot about this preorder from moooonths ago and was pleasantly surprised to see it show up outta nowhere:
I've got that one as well, but haven't opened him up just yet. I've got the whole line pre-ordered, so I'm looking forward to the others later this year.

Hell yah, they all look like great figures. Like Feeb alluded to, some of the character choices are a bit weird though. Leo as Igor is a decision haha. But they all look great as actual figures, I may need to throw a pre order on the others.

I also still think it's weird having to pre-order action figures but this is the world we live in I guess. Ride or die.

Yikes. That is weird. Figured he’d be Dracula.

Here's some pictures of one my recently set up shelves. (Ignore the torn off window frame and trim we had to tear down because we found water damage, gotta fix all that, ugh.)
My 2nd shelf is in progress, but here's part of the TMNT section on it:
Eventually once we remodel that room, I'll be installing some better shelves for display. For now though, this is what I have to work with.

Haha yes, it’s the 90s Kano and Liu Kang 3 3/4 figures I grabbed from @mcorrado a while back! Smoke and Reptile are on the opposite side attacking the GI Joe HISS vehicle

I used to have the old Liu Kang figure at that scale. GI Joe style right? My sister bought it for me and I vividly remember playing with it in a Christmas tree one year haha. gosh darn, that just flashed me right back in time.
Also yes @Dasgessabel very cool photos/collection!

yep that's them! I need to get the rest of the line at some point just to round it out. I had them all when I was a wee lad but they got handed down and lost at some point.
And thanks! I've been building it up for a while, but got many more additions to come. I like to save all the boxes of the ones I open though, so storage is becoming an issue already.

I didn't even see them when I looked at the photo! Those are awesome! Glad you like them and they made the display.

What are those three golden figures front and center in the first photo?
I almost thought they were Destiny figures for a second. . .

They are Golden Legion figures from JoyToy:

I want to eventually get some more JoyToy figures, but they're fairly pricy for 3-4 inch figures.

Real cool stuff @willyum @The_Prophecy That's the Capullo Batman statue right? I have that one too if so. Good stuff.
Sorry for the extremely late reply. It's a Kotobukiya ArtFX+ Batman. All it says on the box is "Justice League," and 1/10 scale. I bought a lot of 7 (I believe) Kotobukiya ArtFX+ statues from someone on CL 3 or so years ago, and that was part of it.
This is the one right here. https://www.amazon.c...

I just ordered the 1/4 scale (Movie) Shredder to go along with my turtles. Got it at a reduce price due to the box not being mint, which I dont care about. Ill have to leave it in the box for now since I dont have space for it on my displays but I couldnt pass on the discounted price. I hope they make a 1/4 Super Shredder from the 2nd movie.
Also preordered one of the 7 inch Last Ronin figures from Neca. I dont normally buy figures that small but it looks pretty good.

Not sure if anyone wants these but Target pre-orders of Python Patrol Viper and B.A.T. went live again, along with Outback:
https://www.target.c...
https://www.target.c...
https://www.target.c...
They also added a lot of the new ones coming out, just search GI Joe classified on their website for those to come up. One note about target preorders though, they charge you up front - they call it an authorization charge but it renews before it falls off every time, and sometimes it renews 2 or 3 times before the others go away depending on your bank, which is stupid and highly annoying. I don’t typically preorder much from them for that reason. But these are target exclusives and sold out on Hasbro, so options are limited if you want them.

Also got my Spirit and new Storm Shadow figures in the other day, I’ll take some pics at some point and post them up. Spirit may be my favorite of all the classified figures currently, just an amazing piece.
