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.

Regrettable 99% of all Action Figure Fight League (AFFL) matches have been lost to history (thanks @bill )

Oh crap, Magic Knight Rayearth!!
I spent a lot of my high school days watching that dubbed in Spanish on TV. Good times.

My fiance broke off the wedding when she realized she had misunderstood when I said I bring home six figures every month.

I saw one last night at Walmart for just over $20, so not too bad!

That is the "deluxe" version that comes with the flame thrower and the petri dish. The one I got didn't have those.
If your local Wal Mart has them for $20 that is an awesome price.

Thanks for the clarification. Based on how much I spend on gas each week, I think both are reasonably priced.

I’ve been collecting some of those GI Joe classified figures. Pre-ordered a few coming out later this year. Easier and cheaper to get than some collections for sure

That Outback figure is really cool. Figures with beards!!
I've never been a big Dungeons & Dragons fan, but when I was a kid I had the Warduke figure:

I always thought he looked badass.
They just announced a new version that looks killer!

I instantly tossed in a pre-order over at Entertainment Earth for him. Arrives sometime in April.

Not sure how the market is for things released in the US but the rule for Japanese figure releases is you should generally pre-order anything if you really want it because there is always a risk it sells out.

Sincerely thinking of tearing most of the figs I have out of their packaging to make more shelf room. Most of them aren't going to go up in value and I'm just being stubborn.
However, these 3 sets I feel need to remain right where they are. It seems most still go for $50+ and I can't see them plummeting in value anytime soon.
Ahhh.... things of absolute beauty.
