Um... because nobody's ever heard of it? I found them on there though and that's MUCH better than bidding wars. Thanks!

Oh wait:

"We are sorry, but due to legal restrictions, AliExpress is unable to provide escrow services to residents located in Washington State."

Balls.

It's $3 a figure in that auction/lot, I find it tempting since they look a gajillion times better than the upcoming movie classics even with the derp eyes.
I'm debating if I want a set myself they look great, but play wise I'm not sure. I have my classics, neca bootlegs, and 80s reissue turtles in moving boxes atm. While my 2k12 figures are within easy play access.

Seriously, half the fun of collecting action figures is creating little scenes with them in your display.

I assume most of you must be in your 30s too if you're into OT.

I collect and display them only.

A grown man who obsessively loves the TMNT can't use being a grown man as an excuse for not playing with their toys...

I agree. I just got my Scar Jo action figure. Now smashem bashem Bebop will kick her butt, uh maybe. Maybe Mikey with the sound fx will save her, nah Scar Jo has the win, but thanks for thinking of her, though she will never say that.

Okay I need to step away from the action figures, until next time. Displaying is fun, but playing is way better. I don't go all crazy like throwing figures across the room. I just have to have fun to jump out of myself for a while. It really doesn't happen as often as I would like.

I am close to that age. I don't look like it though; I look like I am in my early 20's, have the knowledge that says I am my current age, and sometimes I have to act like my shoe size because many things in this world are takin' way too seriously. I pay bills and buy groceries and work while trying to figure out what it is I was meant for. I think I deserve some down time sometimes. Everybody does at some point, we need to recharge to gain awareness of all around us.

I think it helps that I have no kids. No time for meditation like I am talking unless they are asleep, even then sleep would be a friend once they are out for a bit.

Anyway I can't wait to see these bootlegged movie star figures when I get them.

Sorry guys.. time got away from me on my days off last week (having a 19 month old baby kind of takes up a lot of your time.haha). So sorry. My next day off is this Wednesday and I promise I'll get some pics up. Rick

Enjoy your time with the baby dude. I am curious whether you are happy with the quality of them or is it complete disaster when you compare it to the originals?

I am also curious about the quality of the movie star bootlegs. I have been watching a set on ebay but I really don't want to spend money on them if they are crappy quality. The pics keep pulling me in though.

Sorry for the delay guys.. I'm gonna try to get them posted tonight. For the record, I am thoroughly happy with these bootlegs (even with their "less than great" paint jobs). In my opinion they are well worth the cost, especially for those that don't mind touching up the paint jobs.

Gimme a few hours...I'll try my best to post some pics and a little review. Thanks! Rick
