Maybe this is just me on this board, but when asked what my primary 'geek passion' or whatever you want to call it is, I would say Ima toy collector. yeah im a big Macross fan, aI love comics and anime and Sci Fi and all that, but when it comes down to where most of my $$ goes, it's toys of some description. Usually, but not always, it's based on something else Im a fan of. I buy Stargate figures soley because I dig the show. But at other times it's the cool toys that inspire me to try other things. Gundam was a recent example, as was Saint Seiya a year ago.
Soi let's talk toys! Yeah Macross has a whole forum for it's stuff, so we dont need to do to much on those here. But what about stuff like NECA's recent Ninja Turtles line based on the original comics? Those guys are my pick for Toy of the Year 2008! or what did you think of the change to Hasbro Marvel Legends as opposed to Toybiz? DId you try the Legendary comic book Heroes line? What do you think of Indiana Jones Lego? Share the plastic love folks!
(The PG kind, not that kind Exo indulges in.)
As i said i just got NECA's TMNT set. I bought the 4 pack because it was a cheaper option, but am now considering a second set of the stand alone figures. These guys are AMAZING! Highly articulated, awesome weapons and design, great sculpts and paint....basically these are the TMNT toys i have wanted for 20 years! If you are a fan of the old comic, check these out!
