    Anyone?

    I only have the Helghast Sniper that came with Killzone 3 Helghast Edition, but after just a couple of hours playing Borderlands 2, i'm thinking on getting Claptrap. That little robot is hilarious.

    Then i saw Gordon Freeman (HL), Isaac Clarke (DS),... Ended up thinking about starting a collection.

    Any suggestions or advices? I'm not really interested on those big statues and expensive items really.

    You should check out NECA toys they do nice quality figures from movies and games. Decent pricing not very expensive

    That's what i did. Claptrap, Gordon Freeman and Isaac Clarke are all from NECA. The price is reasonable and the figures seem to have a good quality.

    I love action figure. I have a couple of the Hot Toys ones, specifically STARS Wesker and the brown AVP Alien. I also have a brand new T2 Exoskeleton. I collect a lot of Gundam models and a bunch of the Robot Damashi figures. Right now I am looking for some Soul of Chogokin SPEC Evengalion figures. I currently have EVA Unit 01, Unit 0, and Unit 2. Always looking for more!

    I'll post pictures shortly.

    I have some Transformers - a G1 Optimus Prime (reissue) is on my desk right now - but I'm not really much of a collector. I like the look of the new McFarlane Master Chief figure though...the helmet on the one that's posted above looks a little weird, reminds me the costume from that painful MadTV skit :witless:

    Ordered 2 new NIB figures so those are on there way. There was a bunch from the same line on another website that were not in box for 99cents - $1.99 and I picked out about five, shipping came to $88. No thx.

    I only collect G1 Transformers, does that count as being a collector?

    I used to collect Starwars toys up until Ep. III, but now I limit myself to imported Godzilla vinyls, with the occasional super robot or other giant monster-type characters.

    I also have a full set of the Primal Rage figures from the 90s.
