Hey there!
I'm pretty new here. Got interested when I visited a LOTR exhibition with lots of cool statues and dioramas. I instantly knew I need some figures for my home. After some reading on the net, I went on to get my first statue: Weta Sauron. Was definately an excellent buy and I love it!
A few weeks later and I know I want to do a villains theme, because LOTR only wasn't for me. But now, here is the thing: I can't decide if I should go for premium statues only (and save a bit longer) or if I could be satisifed with good action figures too.
Atm Iam looking at mythos Vader compared to SS ROTJ Vader and also if I should go for the Asmus Toys stuff (which looks pretty cool) instead of polystone versions of figures like morgul lord, ringwraith or saruman.
Every time I want to buy an "action figure" my finger stops moving and my brain goes: waaaaiit. Why not go for a statue instead? Especially since I don't plan to get 50 different ones...just maybe around 10-15.
So how do you do it? Just buy what you like or do you prefer one over the other?
Are the high prices (yes, yes, always the same topic) for action figures ok compared to statues? I'm unsure...maybe some insight or simple thoughts from you would help me with my decisions on my future path of collecting villains.
