I mean all kinds of detailed figures of Batmans, Wolverines, Zombies, Aliens, Predators etc. etc. for reasonable price. I'm looking for an european online shop that ships worldwide, but who knows, maybe there are american ones that will be cheaper including shipping fees.

I'm trying to extend my colllection, so far only Anime figures and Iron-man with War Machine (ordered from amiami and one other shop I can't quite recall at the moment). Will appreciate any info :)

Nice collection!

I've got a couple figures from conventions I've gone to. Local shops around town might have some too, though they may be a bit high in price.

I used 2 buy toys from a comic book shop called MKI

 

I used to buy Metal Gear Solid, Final Fantasy, Wrestling and Gears of War figurines from them.

 

My friend used 2 also buy her Living Dead dolls from there.

 

Sadly I sold my collection coz I was moving :(

Online is all fine and good, but more often than not in my experience a locl shop is generally better for price (no shipping) and you can actually have return policies of need be, or even order in figured you want.


It is perfectly acceptable to fear and admire a being you could not possibly understand.

I do agree with you (even though I'm not a action figure collector). Buying them locally would be cheaper and possible more fun.

Get a 3D printer and make your own, then you can have ALL the characters!

 

of course a 3D printer is about 2k so guess it depends on how many you make as to whether it is cheap. Make one thousand figures and they are only 2 dollars each! (well disregarding the cost of filament)
