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.

Yeah, it’s difficult to get most of the TMNT stuff. I had a bit of luck having 3 Walmarts in relative close proximity, so I’ve been able to grab all the TMNT movie stuff for retail. I haven’t tried to collect any of the animated series NECA stuff because I’ve rarely seen most of them in my local Targets.
Yeah I havent seen any of those either. Sounds like a pain to collect!

If anyone is actively looking to get rid of any Jojo's Bizarre Adventure SAS figures, I'd be curious to see what you've got / are seeking

One of the favorites in my collection for sure along with Kenshin and Crymaria. Was happy to find it for a fair price.

Very nice. Megahouse does very nice figures and statues. I remember some very nice ones used to MSRP for around $60-90 and now they go more twice that or more. I was broke then tho

Yeah figure prices are insane now. Megahouse, GSC and a couple others still have some more affordable ones. I technically paid over retail but with the exchange rate differences compared to when it launched it was less. Most places are asking like double retail now...
There isn't a ton I would want now and I have some I wouldn't mind getting rid of. Might go for something from Monogatari and/or a Gilgamesh (from fate) figure. If I were wish listing something to get made I'd buy a nice figure of Ippo. Not getting that Orca Toys one that is like $300 retail most likely. Do have my eye on it in case one pops up for a bit less.

Recently got the 12" Joel to go with my Ellie, but haven't had time to set up an outdoor scene yet.

Just got these:{imgt}https://i.imgur.io/l...{imgt}

I normally dont buy figures this small but its the only figures available from the Power Rangers Battle for The Grid Designs.
Unfortunately theyre rather expensive at $34 each for what you get but I guess they look kinda cool. For the price, they shouldve at least added a 2nd head sculpt (without helmet).
There are 2 more that Im not planning on getting. Cammy and Ken, but it looks like they just recolored some other ranger sculpts and didnt even try. Lazy cash grab so Im not getting those.
