Well, I wasn't sure where to post this since we don't have like a "merchandise" forum section or anything so I'm just posting it here. Also, does anyone know of any sites that you can use to keep track of stuff like this? For example, something like Lister X but for figures?

What kind of figures do you all have/are you lookin for? What are your fav manufactures, designers, and so on. And also, I'm not including models since that can get an topic on it's own really.

My current list includes:
Beyond the Grave 8inch Action Figure by Kaiyodo (http://img132.imageshack.us/img132/5207/graveaa5.jpg)
This thing is awesome, tons of extras, the coffin sits on the figure nicely, guns look great fairly good posability. Great detail

Bleach gashapon: Kenpachi Zaraki (http://img183.imageshack.us/img183/7202/kenpachida6.jpg)
Well, I'm not a huge Bleach fan, but Zaraki is seriously awesome, and I got it for free anyway. In an arms-crossed pose standing upright. Looks pretty good.

Bome Vol.3: Oni-Musume 2 repaint by Kaiyodo (http://img221.imageshack.us/img221/7598/onimusumeyp5.jpg)
This is the blue cloth/dark skinned version. Looks WAY better than the original IMO.

Gundam Fix Figuration #0012 Gundam Mk-II Titan's version (http://img91.imageshack.us/img91/5627/mkiiil9.jpg)
Gundam Fix Figuration #0022 ZZ Gundam (http://img241.imageshack.us/img241/1306/zz1wu4.jpg) / 2 (http://img201.imageshack.us/img201/2323/zz2ef3.jpg) / 3 (http://img223.imageshack.us/img223/1361/zz3vm0.jpg)
Gundam Fix Figuration #0023 Hyaku Shiki (http://img228.imageshack.us/img228/32/hyakuhp5.jpg) / 2 (http://img179.imageshack.us/img179/6986/hyaku2lc4.jpg)
GFF: Zeonography #3005a Zaku II Type F2 (Desert Type) (http://img166.imageshack.us/img166/5316/zakuduc0.jpg)
The Mk-II comes with parts to turn it into a Barzam, which looks really great in this model version of it, so I tend to keep it in that "mode". I got the Double Zeta because it comes with it's full armor mode and that is just too sweet. Hyaku Shiki because it's the frickin Hyaku Shiki, but it has a nice bonus "Full-Armor" version. Zaku because, well, it's a Zaku and they're cool. I would have gotten the normal green version, but the place I was buying it at didn't have it, and the desert paint scheme is still nice.

Mabinogi: Nao Statue by Good Smile (http://img182.imageshack.us/img182/9196/nao1xw4.jpg) / 2 (http://img182.imageshack.us/img182/305/nao2cl3.jpg) / 3 (http://img91.imageshack.us/img91/2649/nao3cj0.jpg) / 4 (http://img221.imageshack.us/img221/4876/nao4nq2.jpg)
This one is NICE, the paint on the face looks really great for a pre-painted figure, something I've learned to be worried about. An awesome bonus, the black dress is semi translucent from the waist down. http://img221.imageshack.us/img221/2141/shiftygh6.gif

!StoryImageFigure! EXTRA: Seras Victoria from Yamato (http://img151.imageshack.us/img151/7646/seras2tc4.jpg) / 2 (http://img225.imageshack.us/img225/5527/seras3gz9.jpg)
Great figure based on a scene from the manga when she gains her vampiress powers. Looks absolutely fantastic

Trigun: Wolfwood Action Figure by Kaiyodo (http://img166.imageshack.us/img166/3219/woundedwolftq0.jpg)
While this figure is awesome, I cannot for the life of me figure out how to wrap the cross in the cloth. Also, it's the version where he has this gunshot wound on his leg, but it looks so out of place. I really want to get a normal version soon.

Vagabond: Musashi Action Figure Series #1 by FEWTURE (http://img221.imageshack.us/img221/3307/musashitz7.jpg)
Nice, but it's more of a statue with a slightly fixable pose than an action figure.

Virtual-On: Temjin RNA side by Xebec Toys (http://img225.imageshack.us/img225/2290/temjinrnazr1.jpg)
This is the Red version that includes his "Radical Zapper", a large cannon version of his sword. Unfortunatly, it(the "zapper") broke a while ago(I was young and it was a few years ago, alright? =P ) but the rest of the figure is still ok and looks just great without it anyway.

Virtual-On: Fei-Yen The Tiger by Xebec Toys (http://img243.imageshack.us/img243/5094/feiyentigerec5.jpg) / 2 (http://img243.imageshack.us/img243/1439/feiyentigerbackrg7.jpg)
This is the funniest thing I've ever seen in a figure. For those of you that don't know, Fei-Yen is a very female-sailor moonish looking mech. In this figure, they redesigned it too look like it's wearing a tiger suit, cat tail, cat ears and all. Weird.


New stuff:

Soon to buy:
GFF: Zeonography #3008 Gouf Custom
The Gouf, includes parts to make the 08th MS team version, easily forces me to buy it http://img289.imageshack.us/img289/1969/w00tub3.gif

Chaos Gate Jingai Makyo Ignis by Alter
I actually barely know anything about this character but she looks awesome and that's all that matters. Pre-ordered already =)


There's alot more I'm contemplating buying in the future, but those 2 are the "for sure eventually" ones.


Anyway, as you can probably tell from my list I by mostly Kaiyodo and GFF stuff, I tend to like the semi-action figure stuff so I can re-pose them every month or so. That also shows that I'm pretty lenient with taking stuff out of boxes, I mostly "collect" to look at them myself. It's no fun to just leave them in a box IMO. Just have to use canned air to clean em every once in a while.

I would post pics, but then I'd have to link to other stores since at the moment most of them are packed up and AN doesn't allow linking to other online stores. If you really wanna see a pic I can PM you a link to see em. Or does anyone know if it's all right to directly link to an image?

Let me second the !StoryImageFigure! EXTRA: Seras Victoria from Yamato and Trigun: Wolfwood Action Figure by Kaiyodo.

I also just had my shop order up a regular version of the Monev the Gale by Kaiyodo. I also had ordered and have a neat Wolfwood bust with him in sunglasses and part of his cross.

I have four of the Kaiyodo Evas (00,01,02,04) and the MP unit with wings. I'm tempted to get the other MP unit with the 02 base. It was still laying around my local shop.

I've also become addicted to Range Murata gashapon and figures. I've got both PSE sets and can't wait for the third. I also bought a small stature of a girl on a green smiley faced cube designed by him. That was aobut $45.

I also really like the Macha Masume figues. I got a tank girl and the black Russian jet girl.

I also got hooked on Type Moon Tsukihime / Melty Blood figures, namely Ciel. I hadn't even seen the series and I got hooked on the design of the character alone. I've also since caught Rider fever.

Oh and I gotta say three favorites are my Berserk PVC statues. I bought the Skull Knight real cheap somehow at Newbury comics. ($14). I got Black Sowardsman Guts for like $45 at a nearby anime shop. Then I ordered the Berserk Armor one online for like $70.

Also, I have some of the smaller gashapon versions. Guts, Caska, every single form of Griffith, the two kids.

Now if I had the money saved up and I could hunt them down, some of the Berserk model kids and statues that go itno the hundreds look amazing and can become quite collectable.

For now I'm rather happy with these.

There are a ton of other miscalaneous ones I'm leaving out. I should come back with pics.
