Poor fag, that s $25 fig anon, poorfags get the 5" $10 DBZ figs.

>>11488457
$25 figures are poorfag figures anon. How poor are you?

>>11488479
>$25
>poorfag
$25 is a lot of money. Anything over $15 is a lot of money.

>>11488451 (OP)
That cell legit looks better than the SHF one. Not trying to bash SHF so don't think I agree with that retard. Is this the only case that dragon stars works better than the SHF version?

>>11488514
Lol, lmao even. I could fart away $25 and not notice it. If you're this broke, you shouldn't be collecting toys.

>>11488585
Fart on me. Fart on me twice.

>>11488457
Ironically, those $10 figures actually better posability than the $25 Dragon Stars.

>>11488585
There are collectors of all budgets anon, let's not be an ass about it.

Marvel Legends because I like having characters like Psycho-Man and Prowler, who companies like Mafex with never ina million years make.

I’m a NEET but started collecting imports this year lol. Chipping away at my savings by buying several figures around $100. Luckily I don’t have any other expenses because I still live with my parents so I can afford it. And I’ve been selling off old stuff too so it sort of balances out. I still feel guilty about it though. I wish I could get a job and feel a bit less guilty about spending so much money on toys but it’s impossible. Being a wage slave is literally a luxury in current year :(

>Perfect Cell

>>11488451 (OP)
Do you think Perfect Cell 2.0 will ever hit the budget SHF series? Perfect Cell is cool and all so having a decent one would be nice, but he's not a character I care enough to go 60 in for. I buy expensive figs so it's less price (though aftermarket on Cell 2.0 is still a no) and more I don't care enough for X to spend Y. If he'd never hit the budget line then I may just pick this up at some point.

>>11489044
No. Budget releases are reserved for the main character and maybe his rival. Goku, Naruto, Tanjiro. They bank on people buying these at places like Target and Walmart, getting into the line, and wanting to complete teams or whatever and having to resort to paying regular SHF pricing. You got Deku for $30 but also want Bakugo to hang out with him? $70-$80 at retail, not even the secondary market. So no, don't expect Perfect Cell 2.0, if they even ever actually make him, to he a budget release. $65 at the minimum.

>>11488682
Don't feel bad, there's no cure for stupid, so you're right at home with your fellow brainlet gook worshipers.

to be quite honest with you guys, I've come to the conclusion that if I want to invest money into my hobby, into collecting figures, might as well buy some good shit even if I have to invest a bit more money in it. If I have to buy less but better products then that's a good deal in my book

>>11489044
>>11489069
Basically what the other reply said, it'll be 60+ at least at first. In the really long run they might make a Best Selection or stripped down release to sell at the $35 price point at retail. But the $60+ release will always come first and the stripped down version may or may not exist. The budget halo Frieza was originally a more expensive figure.

>>11489087
That's the conclusion most people in this hobby and statue collecting eventually reach if they're in it long enough, I think. A cheap figure now and then is fine, especially if you like D-listers that have no chance of even getting made as higher-end figures. But money will keep coming in, while space will keep running out.

>>11488451 (OP)
The kids' toy Valen action figure has embossed and gold painted logos that are part of the sculpt while the SHF has shitty decals. Are budget figures becoming too powerful?

>>11489087
Same. I'm extremely poor so I decided early on that it's best to avoid cheaper figures. My collection is probably smaller than most here, but they're almost all imports (Revo, Mafex, Medicos, Storm Collectibles). I spend a lot less than the average Hasbro/McFarlane consumer and I never feel the need or urge to "complete" lines or get every variant out there (cheaper figure traps).

Why is it always "oh, you must be poor" instead of "oh, you must have different priorities"?

>>11496136
It's the Lex Luthor thing. People can't imagine anyone being different than themselves.

>>11489439
>But money will keep coming in, while space will keep running out.
I've decided to only get characters I know and really like, not just what I think looks cool or whatever. And screw team building.

>>11496136
>>11496150
Even if they are poor, so what? Gatekeeping in a hobby where you're collecting toys has got to be the most cringiest, labotomite mentality I've ever seen.

>>11496164
Eh, people like to make themselves feel better by tearing others down.

>>11488682
>Luckily I don’t have any other expenses because I still live with my parents so I can afford it.
I don't wanna be too much like a parent here but shouldn't you be saving to move out?

>>11496164
I won't lie,but we need more gatekeeping in hobbies. Otherwise your community gets infested by trannies, women, and faggots that don't actually care about the hobby and are just doing it for social media clout.

>>11489734
What the fuck, that's insane

>>11496248
That would kill enthusiasm and just make elitist echo chambers. Everyone starts somewhere, gatekeeping ensures fewer people get the chance to. That's how you kill a franchise. You may not like like Mutant Mayhem for instance, but someone does.

>>11489734
They'd better be for that kind of design. Who the hell wants a chocolate sentai?

>>11489734
Can those hips even move with that cut and sculpt?

Cheap toys are just funnier

>>11496450
*funner

>>11489734
To be fair, looking at it, that is about the only thing it has over the SHF.

>>11496451
you weren't wrong. It is funny that there hasn't been good cheapo Turtles since 2012

>he thinks toy collecting is for poorfags
holy gamer entitlement
if you can drop $25 that easy for the worst figure of the worst DBZ villain then you're definitely not poor.

>>11496938
>the Perfect DBZ villain
Ftfy

>>11488594
Yeah at least the $10 figures can keep their legs intact during a kick

>>11489734
why does a better sculpt and a few more points of articulation multiply the price by 4? realistically these cost about the same to produce

>>11489734
>shitty decals
Those are prints and they are accurate to the show, dumbass

>>11496260
Yeah. Did I forget to mention he also has drop-down hips? :)

>>11496929
Im thinking of replacing them with to new 6 pack smooth skin remastered turtles

>>11488451 (OP)
I was at $5 Below today and came across their aisle of knock-off LEGO; I almost grabbed one but it's all franchises I don't like. I'll probably do Secret Santa again for the last time and in case I get another Turtle fan this winter, I might go back and grab the off brand TMNT kit.

>>11488457

Poorfags buy these at Ross or Ollie's for $5.99
