If money was NO object: Your DREAM figure purchase?

[BigBaragon]

I have reasonable access to pretty much any vinyl figure that I might desire, within reason, mainly due to having endless trade goods, decent connections, and a reasonably 'loose' income. I thought that this might be an amusing exercise, finding out what folks' have on their 'high-dollar' lists. Also, I'm sure that I will learn something, and maybe get a few good idea about what I might want for myself.

The only 'stipulation' is this: Only TOYS/FIGURES here, please. Can be vinyls, mechano, articulated, HG, the HUGE 2' bastards, etc. NO statues, busts, memorabilia, masks, suits, etc., please.

Personally, I already own several of my 'holy grails', (Kong, Baragon, Seesar..) but there are so many MORE that I want! (Most of my wants fall WAY under $100, though...)


Lets hear it!

[Cimmerian Dragon]

This is a no-brainer for me: I want the original Bullmark standard-size MechaGodzilla

If money was no object hmmm.

This is easy for me since I'll list more than 1.

1. Original release Marusan Plamodel Godzilla, MISB

how many are in existence, I wonder.

2. the complete set of the Bullmark Tin toys.

3. Marui King Ghidorah

4. Marusan tan/cream stomach Gorosaurus

[BigBaragon]

Great! Keep 'em coming!

Cimmerian, from what I recall of the originals, (Bullmark, Marusan..) arent they the 'baby doll'-styled ones? You know the style; the earlier figures were often not very accurate, and they had that 'chubby' vinyl dollie body - ? I had a few of 'em, had a VERY early-70s character that was in a bright AQUA-blue, I used to chew on him in the bathtub, heh. I always thought of him as GABERA as a kid, but hell, I was only 2-3 at the time, so.... They have their charm, for sure, and I love them, but as an adult I prefer the more accurate Bandais.

[Jomei]

I don't think there's much that I want that's REALLY out of my price range (ie 100-200 dollars for a figure, which I consider expensive, but not something I can't do every now and then). Maybe if I had that much money I'd get into vintage, but right now I don't feel that drive.

If I had a lot of money, though, I'd probably buy a bunch of the higher-end Bandais right now instead of waiting for good prices, and I'd snatch up some of the overpriced stylized figures I want that sit around on eBay.

Also very sweet.

I refer here to the standard-scale release, which is more than accurate enough for me, while also maintaining the personality of a slightly stylized sculpt.

None.

If money were no object, I wouldnt be buying overpriced bits of vinyl. I think I'd look at something cooler. Like fast cars.

[Cimmerian Dragon]

^ Sigh. Party pooper.

Alright, assuming I became fabulously wealthy, I concede that my first purchase would be a 1959 Impala (unless I found someone willing to part with a Cord 812). Then I'd start buying overpriced bits of vinyl. And guns. Many more guns (the other collection I cannot contain ).

After that Bullmark MG was out of the way, I might need to grab the new Zeem Giant 1964 Godzilla Model kit and the Kaiyodo 1/80th scale G'89.

you realize that by prioritizing where you'd spend your money, you've already re-imposed the notion that money IS an object, right?

[GIGAN05]

For me ... It would be the X-plus Biollante

If money wasn't an issue, my dream purchase would be this: http://www.hlj.com/product/KYD000088

I think it's more a matter of scheduling. You know, what do you want delivered first?

But yeah, Wataru deflected my line of thought for a moment.

Also, one more. I want this: http://www.ebay.com/itm/ALL-HAND-MADE-W ... 1e6830b635

[Captain Aktion]

All of them. If money were no object...

[Tyler]

I really like the Revoltechs, especially the Gameras. I'd get the Legion at the moment, but if they put out a Gamera '99, Iris and Hyper Gyaos I'd get those too.

[Poe Ghostal]

Can I say the Bandai 50th Anniversary Memorial Box, or do I have to pick just one?

[Rody]

All of them. If money were no object...

Ummmm.... You might want to buy an extra house while you're at it.


Personally, I'd love to get a bunch of Marmit Monster Heavens & Gigabrains. In particular:
MH Gigan
MH Varan
MH Anguirus '68
MH Ebirah '04
MH Titanosaurus (open tail)
MH Rodan '56 AND '04
GB Mosu-Goji
GB King-Goji
GB Hedorah
GB King Ghidorah

Eh, I'll just buy a nice out of the way museum on a pleasant tropical island. Money and no objects and what nots...

[Kaiju no Mura]

Bandai Creation Hedorah, Tendmasters Varan, and a Y-MSF Rock.

[Rody]

Y-MSF rock????
