The Action Figure and Toy Collecting and Discussion Thread!

Oh wow, they look so realistic ! !
Did you custom them yourself from scratch (like home customed BJD) or did you commission an artist ?

LOL for a moment I was very confused, I thought you were talking about the chestnuts looking realistic!
I see Scribble has pointed you towards Quantum Mechanix already. So far only Captain Picard is out for TNG, but more characters have been teased and hopefully will be available soon.

Here is a picture of the prototypes: https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-dwAKifw1...+The+Next+Generation+Worf+Picard+and+Data.jpg

We're also still waiting for Sulu and Scotty: https://www.figures.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/qmx.jpg

Well well well...The day I can find a beautiful Data figurine for sale, my money will go away very quickly XD

@Astra, at first when I saw that one car the first thing I thought of was Betsy!

But yours is black, not yellow.

Dear childhood friends:

Better than nothing but it's not very detailed ^^
I love very detailed collection figurines/dolls, they're just so beautiful to look at and pose !
That being said...I wish I could find that beautiful Data bust from the Masterpiece collection :

If yes, my money will fly by the window as soon as my fav character is available XD

^ Hi @TauCygna , sorry, but I have to check. Those images don't seem to be from an image hosting service, so I was wondering if you own those domains? If not, I will have to convert those images to a link so they're not hotlinked. Thank you.

Oops, no I don't. Sorry about the mistake, I'll convert them.

@Astra, at first when I saw that one car the first thing I thought of was Betsy!

But yours is black, not yellow.

It's not mine, I was in a hotel and these were decoration.
I regretted that I did not have Alfred with me so yesterday I searched ebay for tin model cars and I had no idea there are so many different ones! I have no idea which one to get!
I think this is one that could stand in for Bessie? It might be a bit big for my Third Doctor figure which is only 5" but the car is 14,5 Inches long: https://www.ebay.de/itm/Modellauto-...876361?hash=item4b340df209:g:ZWsAAOSwNnRYjeoc

Yes, those are the same. QMX are the only maker of 1:6 Star Trek figures. Can you believe it, in 50 years of Trek nobody ever did good looking collector dolls. We have to thank a fan who started out with these as a customizing project for himself and friends, and then it grew. Sometimes dreams come true!

Thank you @Astra

A few weeks ago I got this set of Bookends from a yard sale. It's a bit on the smallish side but they do look cool with my figures.

Wow, great find! I totally would have bought that too.
Too small even for your figures that are smaller than mine?
I once got some Greek aquarium columns and I just realized I never took a picture with them. I shall rectify that.

In the meantime, we traveled the world!

Thanks. They are my favorite kind of finds. And yes. That Link and Zelda figure in my picture are about 4.5 inches tall. Something like 3.4 inches might be better but it would still be a bit too small. But that's okay. I don't mind. I can't wait to see your aquarium columns!

Your travel photos are simply amazing. I love them all. Great photos.

I love miniature parks! This one had many German buildings but also famous ones from all over the world. Sadly most were out of reach for my figures, but I sneaked those shots in.
Hey, was it you that pointed me years ago to the Muppets kitchen playset? I may have accidentally bought it
I only wanted to show it to a friend and easiest is looking for pictures on ebay, and there it was, used for only 100 GBP... two of the accessories missing but for this price I could not resist.
So now I don't only have the Buffy library but the kitchen as well. Nothing left to yearn for? (It hasn't arrived yet)

Oh, and happy 4th of July!

I wish I had some miniature parks near where I lived. I'd probably visit them daily. It's probably why I aim to collect as many cool playsets I can. Congrats on scoring the kitchen! It really is a wonderful piece for anyone's collection. Hopefully the accessories you are missing can be substituted.
Lovely Kirk and Spock pic too. The detail on them as well as your miniature flag is top notch.

Thank you! The flag came with the Obama figure and it looks really great!
The missing accessories are one of three clear bowls (the middle one) and a butcher's knife. I did check with a youtube video displaying them all. I don't think I have particular need for them but everything else is there (the seller even added more pictures to the ebay auction on my request so I could check as at first I was missing more in her pictures). Can't wait for it to arrive!

In another forum we talked about the Buffy library and it made me get it out and play with it. Here's the first batch of many more pics! Wolverine jumping at whoever enemy is standing there. Someone in another forum said that he planned to use the set as the school for gifted children and I thought that was a great idea.

You're welcome.Mine came with all it's accessories, At least I think it did. though not pictured are the plates. though the only down side is the phone cord on it broke but I'm going to attempt to fix it one of these days. It's not too important though. Can't wait to see what you do with it. Your library set is fantastic. You did a great job with that photo set.
