Hot Toys and other 1/6 scale figures!

KalEl - smart move, waiting for the new one. Hopefully it'll have slightly better articulation, and maybe articulated fingers like the more recent Iron Man releases. I understand ED-209 will have more articulation in the legs than the original.

Dkaris - I had no idea Medicom were actually making Evas. I've had a look at pics online, and although they seem to be light on extras/accessories/gimmicks (at least, from what I could see), they look to be the best Eva figures since the SoC Specs.

I was a bit hesitant at first, the use of rubber in 1/6 figures is something many collectors tend to steer clear of, especially some of the older Hot Toys releases. However after reading about the Medicom Evas on a few different boards I felt a bit more confident, For now the only units available are unit 1 and 2, and also an awakened version of unit 1, which is an exclusive (bbts has it for $400)

I'll photograph my eva 02 when it arrives =]

Where are you guys picking up your 1/6ths? Only stores that I know of in Sydney (as in brick and mortar stores) are Hobby co, which are decently priced, and Game Infinity which are quite pricey but do get some rarer stuff.

As far as online I've found Popculcha is good for hot toys mostly (over $100 free shipping AUS wide) and someone also recommended another site i've never personally used, http://www.shopforme.com.au/

Please do

I've bought my two 1/6s on eBay (and will probably continue to do so, if I choose to get more), but I've passed by HobbyCo and Game Infinity and seen their stuff (I'll admit to being tempted by the figure of Terminator 2 Arnold at HobbyCo).

Dkaris, you're lucky to have an Iron Man Mark VI - I've been looking for one, and they're very pricey these days, both online and at Game Infinity.

honestly I think mk VI is very fragile. lots of parts feel loose and flimsy. I don't have any other iron man figures so I'm unsure if is a one off or if they are all similar. My personal favorites are the Predators. They are such solid figures =]
