Your Statue to Figure buying Ratio...

[Brent Peconi]

While we conregate here on this board for the purposes of talking statues, what is the other budget for figures like?

Is it for every 100 you spend on a statue, you spend 10 on a fig?

Or do you just buy what you like and deal with the consequences later?

What are the figure collectors buying habits along with thier statue commitments?

[Tetragrammaton]

Pretty much gave up buying figures expect for the odd one once in a while.

Something had to go (due to maoney and space) and action figures were it for me.

I buy mostly BD, then when a piece or group of figures comes out from McFarlane then I only buy the Baseball or Hockey figures, and as the new sets of Military figures are released I just order them from the website.

I have quit collecting figures at this point. I cpllected them for years and they all it just got to be too much. Statues and busts were the natural progression away from figures.

I still cannot help but check out the action figure section everytime I go to Target or Wal-Mart. I may not buy them but I still enjoy seeing the new releases.

The only exceptions I made this year was the Clash of the Titans rotocast exclusive from Gentle Giant and the Batman Long Halloween figures.

I try to keep it to statues/busts, but those pesky Marvel Legends keep bringing me back in. I don't get every one of them, but when there are characters I like, I buy those. I refuse to pay inflated dealer/scalper prices for figures, so that helps keep the prices down: I only get what I can find in the stores.

I used to collect figures. When I design the home bar I want some day, I figured I could work them into the design.

That was until I discovered busts. Busts were the product I really wanted but didn't exist. Now I get all busts and FS and no figures.

I will say that the figures today appear to be superior in quality and design than the figures just 10 years ago.

I but back on figs - just Hulk and Iron Man

[Vartha]

I buy What I like mostly Figures, and that are related to Thor, I would like to pick up a Lord Thor bust if a cool one came around. I just don't like what has come out, and I think Issue 57 would make a great Statue, it's such a classic Thor pose.

[PAINKILLER]

I will never stop buying figures, its my love, my hobby. I just got into statues with the sideshow ex Luke at lastyears SDCC. Now I have 6 Sideshow Premium formats, some Bowen and other assorted companies. I think Im going to stick with SS but I will never stop buying toys.

[Vince-Vell]

Only figures i buy is Sota Street Fighter figures and only statues/bust that i can afford and cant live without.
