Do you have a least favorite out of your collection? I have a few I think I wish were done a little better and those are my Hot Toys Thor,Dutch and Captain America,both the Thor and the Cap are the non Avengers versions.

So what are yours?
 
Boy, this is going to be a mess. Opinions are like *******s after all.

For me, it's got to be my MK V. It was my first piece and has become my least favorite. Followed closely by my MK III BD. I thought this would be my grail but next to the others, the proportions are wrong and the head looks funny. I only keep them because I am a bit of a completest. Particularly when it comes to IM.

FA Capt is one of my favorites btw. LOL
 
Of what I own, Sideshow Halloween Michael Myers, that's #1. I bought it about six months ago on eBay for a $50 BiN. Didn't give it much thought or research, just bought it. Looks quite crappy and sits now on a bottom shelf, towards the back. I might sell it one day. I like old Sideshow figures, simple paints and doll-like appearances, I like Mego, I like things that look off, but somehow that Myers figure for me still comes off as plain crap, nothing lovable about it.

There's also the normal HT Michael Jackson Thriller. That sits on the bottom shelf too. I hate the head on it. I'm pretty happy to keep that though, don't think I'll ever sell.

The HT Bruce Lee suit figure was strangely disappointing too. I don't know why - it looked great in the photos, it was cheap to buy, but then I get it in hand and it's just somehow meh... Other than that though, I'm happy with everything else I own.
 
Out of all the stuff i've physically owned, i'd say anything Medicom.

I don't own much medicom stuff but yeah, metalgear naked snake coldwar version:monkey4 went right back in the box after a few days and sits in my closet ever since:(
 
my least favorite was the toyfair batman begins.

didnt like the color of the cowl vs body and the possibility of something happening to the suit in the long run didn't sit well with me considering how much i paid for him.

hes gone now haha

also ss boba fett. i had to display him next to my iron man mark vi and everytime i looked at them boba would just bug me and i could never get him to stay in the pose i wanted.
 
man you don't like First Avenger Cap! :clap that's a great figure. the only one out of all the figures I've sold that I broke my no buy back rule for.

But I'd say least favorite would have to be my DCD 13" The Spirit. One of the few who liked the movie I'm sure and I just can't let go of that figure.
 
Probably my HT Iron Man Mark III. It just looks and feels cheap. After that, all my Medicom RAH figures (except the Daft Punk set and Rocketeer 2.0)
 
Medi Kamen Rider The Next Shocker Rider.

Bought Faiz as my first KR figure and it was so awesome I made the mistake of thinking this one wouldn't be a scrawny, plasticky pos like every other Medi I've owned.

I've boxed it up, but even stuck back in the dark recesses of my closet I can hear it screaming, "you'll never see that 200 bucks again - nevaaaaah!"
 
I'm not a Medi hater, and this is old news, but: I was cleaning my shelves and re-arranging my figures this afternoon. I own 6 Medi clones, and I've had them for almost 2 years now. When I moved them today I noticed that ALL of them had at least one broken joint and all they did was staying in my shelves in a static pose (ie., standing straight holding their rifles - it's not like they can do a lot more than that anyway). My Medi Boba and Jango Fett also broke at the shoulders without anyone touching them some time ago. I have replaced their bodies, but won't replace the clones'. So, yeah, Medicom is a pain to collect.
 
Sideshow Indy (Prometheus body? More like a dead posthumus body...like a rag doll, and that ugly paint job, had to spend another 50 bucks to get it painted)

HT Predator 1 (short, poorly sculpted predator face, not in a good way)

HT Two Face / Harvey Dent (sucked into Dark Knight Mania...impulse buy)

Takara Batman Begins (was the best at the time, i didn't buy the HT OC Dark Knight figure cause i had this, and in Hong Kong the Toyfair version re-release was unattainable under USD320 because of scalpers).

HT T-600 Concept version... thought the special edition face mask, the different gun, and the beanie hat, and base was so rare and unique. Funny how the novelty wears off quickly.
 
You mean Hot Toys Indiana Jones? If so undoubtably. :slap

Sorry, but I meant Sideshow's Indy. They messed up Trevor's sculpt in molding, making him look about 30 pounds heavier than Ford has ever been. Then there's the Barbie Doll paint, wind-breaker jacket, and a body that is so floppy it needs viagra.
 
SS Army of Darkness Ash -I want an Ash, and this is the only option for now
