View Full Version : Video Game Figures

A lot of us collect video game figures... I've collected odds and sods throughout my life, mostly fighting game characters. I've recently decided that, money and time willing, I'd like to make them my secondary focus (TMNT being the primary).
I'm mostly interested in the Revoltech Street Fighter Online line... most especially the Chinese literature characters that are from the game, since there's no other figures of them. I hope they do all of the characters from the line eventually, such as Batsu and Akira, and Cyborg 009. The game may be crap, but the character designs are interesting. I was hoping that at least Shin (the only completely original character in the game) would have made it into SF4.

I don't have a lot of my video game figures displayed yet... and I'm sure I've got some still at my parents' house. I'll try to get something this weekend, though. Savvy?
I was really excited about the SFO figures at first -- I love the CvS2 Chun-Li that High Dream made, but she's 7" and I wanted a more accurate 6" Chun (since the SOTA version is pretty slight). The SFO Chun has some thunder thighs on her, which is how things should be! Unfortunately, the SFO figures are in a 4.5" scale, which significantly diminished my interest in them.
If the scale (and lack of paint detail) don't bother you, though, I hear that they're pretty great.
EDIT: Oh, but if we need pictures, here's one of a few of my video game figures:

SOTA Vega, Sagat, and Balrog with the Jazwares Bison -- since I can't afford the SOTA one, this one will have to do. I think he looks decent enough, but I still need to make a cape for him! :)
Here's another shot with the Jazwares P2 Bison (and some crappy energy effects):

Good times. :)

Ah, the Kings of Shadaloo.
Did anyone ever release figures of Dudley and Elena? They were my top choices in SF3.
Nope -- I'm not recalling any SOTA SF3 figures off the top of my head. I remember there being an Alex in the old Resaurus line, though.

I believe SOTA made Remy and Ibuki....
Oh, you're totally right! I completely forgot about Remy, and I have a tendency to associate Ibuki with Pocket Fighter rather than SF3. :)

Kind of disappointing... Remy was my least favourite character of SF3 >.< I like Ibuki and Alex okay, but I want my posh British boxer and healer capoeirista.

Does anyone get the Neca stuff?
I have the set of main characters from RE4 (Leon & Krauser) and the 10th Anniversary Line (Chris, Hunk, Jill). I'll probably snag the new Chris for RE5.
I also have Raziel from Soul Reaver, and Altair. As well as the SOTA Re-issue Anniversary figures of Ryu and Ken.
A **** ton of Halo 2 and Halo 3 figures
I probably have far too many to remember actually....

I've got a NECA Crimson Viper on her way to me.
I've got to ask - they never made a Tofu Resident Evil figure, right?

He was the variant Hunk figure.

... You're joshing me, right?
I have a lot of SOTA figures, I actually had the chance of completing the collection in p2 costumes and fairly cheap but I decided not to a few months ago and I now regret it so much.
I moved to Mexico so I had to sell a lot of my stuff so I don't have as much stuff but I still have a lot of Pokemon figures but man my Pokemon collection before moving was HUGE. I also kept a few Megaman figures.
I have very few mario figures/plushes I kept a few Sonic ones a banjo plush and thats all I can remember from the top of my head videogame wise.

I've got my video game figure shelf set up... I have a few figures in transit, so that photo I referred to won't be happening until I get it completely stocked. Sorry.
I will tell you, though, what's on said shelf:
-Cold Snap Sub-Zero (Mortal Kombat Deception)
-Protoman (MegaMan)
-Retro-Roto Protoman (MegaMan)
-Rush (MegaMan)
-Pikachu (Pokemon)
-Command Mission X (MegaMan)
-Ludicolo (Pokemon - he's holding Surfin' Leo's surfboard in reference to a sight gag to Gotta Dance!)
-Dr. Eggman (Sonic X)
-Scorpion (Mortal Kombat Trilogy)
-Mario (Super Mario Bros. - it's more like a plushie with a plastic head, but he stands well)

Only figures I have are some Final Fantasy Play Arts (FFVIII) and some Zelda Gasphons that are big for Gasphons, thus being in scale with most of my figures. Any others that I have are randomly in my other toys. I know I have a handful of the old MK figures (the 3 3/4" scaled ones). Wouldn't mean having more of them. Also wouldn't mean having some of the GI Joe Street Fighters (though most of them are ugggggggly).
So I picked up the NECA Ryu -- he's pretty cool! Here are some pics of him with other figures in my collection:

I love how well he can hit the Hadoken pose! Not to mention other game poses as well, since the double-elbows allow for more accurate Shoryukens and whatnot. :)

I might have to pick up that Ryu...
I just received Jazwares Johnny Cage in the mail today... he's not bad. He can do poses of most of his specials, including the Shadow Kick, Shadow Uppercut, Decapitation Uppercut, Torso Rip, and most importantly, Ball Breaker.

-Dr. Eggman (Sonic X)
Ugh. Was that that horrible Toy Island Sonic X figure? I swear, that was the biggest waste of money I ever wasted. The articulation sucked, the plastic it was made out of sucked, and it had visable screw in the back. I really wish someone would step up and make decent Sonic toys, and remember to put Eggman in the line up. Seems everyone disses Eggman when it comes to merchandising.
So, anyone see the second wave of Pop Co's Mario line in the Toyfair picture site? I really hope those get released... even though I don't have any of series 1 yet.

Yes it is, and it is pretty much ass. Cost me $2 at a Big Lots, so I can't complain too much... especially considering how much he fetches on eBay (http://toys.shop.ebay.com/items/?_nkw=Sonic+X+Eggman&_sacat=220&_fromfsb=&_trksid=m270.l1313&_odkw=Eggman&_osacat=220).
What I hate is, I was looking for some sort of decent Eggman figure, that came with Eggmobile... not only could I not find a figure like that, but I can't find any Eggman figure other than the one I already have, period!

I swear... I saw a plush Eggman at a Japanese toy store sometime 2003 or so, and then I never saw it again. No love for the Eggman, is there?

There's a couple of Eggman plushies (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&Item=120382134788&Category=158768) (I think they're all the same one) on eBay... I'm just looking for a good figure, as stated, preferably with the Eggmobile. This Kid's Meal Toy (http://cgi.ebay.com/SONIC-CRASH-BANDIT-COOT-TOY-from-1993-WIND-UP_W0QQitemZ150328477013QQcmdZViewItemQQptZLH_Defa ultDomain_0?hash=item150328477013&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=72%3A1205%7C66%3A2%7C65%3A12%7C39%3A1%7C 240%3A1318%7C301%3A0%7C293%3A1%7C294%3A50) is all I can find. How can the series' chief antagonist get shafted so badly?
I recentley got a Fire Flower plushie for the missus.
Also purchased one of the SF4 figures too. I got C-Viper.

Ah... the only Robotnik toy based on the Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog series.... I really loved that one when I was younger.

Totally. Still... he's getting shafted pretty hard if all we've got is the rubbish Toy Island one, the plushie, and the Kid's Meal toy....

I keep going to this place that sells Japanese toys, and I keep asking, "Do you know if they're ever going to make an Eggman Keychain?" I keeps seeing Sonic, Knuckles, and Tails... I swore I saw Rouge the Bat and Big the Cat... I dunno... maybe it's the furry community that killed any of Eggman's shots at popularity...
That said, I'm disappointed they never made a King Koopa figure/kid's meal toy/ etc. that looks like the DIC animated series one. of course, Nintendo never really embraced the American cartoon versions of their characters the way Sega did... Though I do remember seeing that Koopa on a water game they released a couple years back.

Like I said in the other thread, I've got a lot of Halo figures, some random things from other series, like Gears of War, Brothers in Arms and Kingdom Hearts, but it pretty much ends there. I do have a lot of random game merch, most of it revolving around Nintendo. I've got a couple framed Japanese OoT artwork prints, a lot of random Mario junk, and a bunch of Animal Crossing odds and ends, including some totally awesome little houses, complete with furniture sets, and a Tom Nook.
I don't tend to like little knick-knacks very much, which is probably why most of my stuff is framed and hung on my wall. Stuff like a map of Morrowind signed by some Bethesda guys; a map of Cyrodiil signed by Todd Howard; a small poster of Sam & Max Season 1 signed by a few guys at Telltale; an art print of Company of Heroes signed by some of the art department, including Nicholas Carota and Roland Longpre who I believe were both senior art supervisors; the aforementioned OoT Japanese artwork prints, and one of my favourites, a Viva Pinata 360 faceplate signed by Grant Kirkhope.

On the Subject of Dr. Eggman... somehow, i stumbled upon These (http://www.miltonknight.net/robotnikmodel1.html#toys) via the website of the character designer for the AOSTH Robotnik....
says that they're Australian... but those plus look... WAAAAAhhhhgggghhhh....
Like the sippy bottle though...
EDIT: Apparently, they're from an Australian Sega Theme Park. They also had merchandise of SatAm's Sally....
Sweet. I've got 'er in transit, myself.
I've had to borrow one of the NECA TMNT stands to get her to stand properly. Those high heels are a pain :P.

My favorite video game toy figures are Resaurus' exceptional 1998 Quake II line. The Strogg Tank is still my favorite toy sculpt of all time. That is one beautifully-ugly hunk of cyborg monster.
You can see pics of all the figures at this web page I made dedicated to them:
