It's a pleasure to meet you all.

[Sojourn]

Just thought I would stop in and say hello to everyone. I have been lurking in the shadows of this forum for a couple of months and decided to finally take the plunge. I used to be an avid collector back in the early 90's, but marriage and kids tapered that off a little...lol.

I recently got back into collecting. My first purchase was the Medicom RAH Son Goku and Piccolo, and the recent Son Gohan. I am anxiously awaiting the arrival of my Hot Toys Wolverine. I guess you could say old habits die hard, but when they resurface they come back with a vengence!

I have a couple of questions for you long time collectors.

I still havent released my figures from their coffins and I am wondering what is the best way to display them. I have been searching the internet for individual 1/6 display cases, but have had no luck so far. I am a little nervous about "exposing" them to the elements without some sort of protection, and I hate the idea of having them forever boxed.

What is a good site to find out of stock Hot Toys figures in the U.S. I am extremely interested in the Iron Man figures, but I am wary of E-bay.

Thank for your time, and I hope to see you all in the forums soon.

Welcome!

Many 1/6 collectors use the Detolf units from IKEA.

Welcome! I agree with Darth Waller - those Detolf cases are great and classy.

 

[Sojourn]

I actually looked at those online as well, unfortunately I live on the East Coast and there are no IKEA's out here

How about individual display cases, ie. per figure?

 

[ecekat]

Well, concerning that......I'm thinking it will require a bit of "creative" subtlety on my part lol. She already thinks I'm a big kid, so it shouldn't come as that big of a shock.

Being thirty-five I could almost feasibly pull it off as a mid-life crisis......

Hi Sojourn, welcome to the SS forum!

If you are looking for the HT Iron Man figures, Faken is selling off both of his M2 and M3 figures.

Check them out here:https://www.predatorstuff.com/

They are almost 1/4 of the way down the page

He did a video review for both:

M2:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L2yvr_FvPPY

M3:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=darlNFY76Ig

He's in Canada, but shipping isn't too bad at all. Send him a PM if you're interested.

 

[Sojourn]

Thanks for the heads up Chargersfan57

 

[Chargersfan57]

Yeah, no problem man.

He's a cool guy, and it's for a good cause.
