Bought three D2 minifigures from my local GameStop today. They are from a company called McFarlane Toy Store. I paid about 25 EURO/32 USD/250 NOK for each of them.

Left: A Titan. heavy armored character in Destiny 2. Basically a "tank" in MMOs.

Middle: A Hunter. Stealthy and usually utilizes long range weapons. Excels in close/medium combat fights due to their mobility enhancements. There are a WoW class which bears similarities to the usage. I decided to give it a Gjallarhorn

Right: Warlock. This class uses spells and ranged melee attacks to destroy enemies. Equal to Mages/Priests from World of Warcraft.

Reminds me of Star Wars

[Art Blade]

hehe, yes, Star Wars had a ton of franchise and loads of puppets

Damn, those figures are expensive. All of them together are worth about as much as a new triple-A game.

While I don't collect miniatures I am more drawn to the female anime character figurines. 

I do have a cheap mass produced Iron Giant that came with the DVD when we bought it.  He's prominently positioned to keep watch over our living room.

Cool little collection there GKID They look quite well made too.

He's not a game character, but I always fancied having a nice Robby the Robot figure for my desk or bookcase. I've seen plenty online, but they're either not as authentic as I'd like or they cost more than I'm prepared to pay.

I'm a stickler for authenticity. I don't want a garishly-coloured Robby, or one with incorrect details or cartoony proportions. There's a really cool one I've seen on Amazon from a Japanese company called XPlus, about a foot tall and poseable, cast in solid vinyl and very faithfully reproduced, but the cheapest price I've found so far was $180 USD (the one I saw on Amazon was going for $350 ) He's not available in Australia, so I'd have to chance it and buy him online. Just about all the other Robbies I've seen are either cheap and nasty, are finished in silly colours or bear only a vague, passing resemblance to the original.

There are model kits available, but almost all of them seem to depict Robby carrying an unconscious Anne Francis I'd prefer a Robby sans damsel. There is a company called Polar Lights who make two Robby kits, one including Robby's date and one without, but they're only about 7" tall when built, and being top-heavy they have to be affixed to the included rock-facsimile base or they fall over. I'd prefer a taller, free-standing one. They're not cheap either for model kits, about $120, and then I'd have to buy modelling paints, thinners, brushes, glue, modelling knife etc so I'd probably end up paying at least as much as I would for the XPlus one. Then of course there's the build-time factor to consider.

Thanks guys Yep, they look wellmade, despite being made of plastic/rubber. I might see if I can get my hands on Collector's Editions for upcoming games that I'm interested in. Putting the weapons in their hands was a little challenge, but I didn't broke anything

I hope you'll find your Robby one day, fragger

  Thanks mate!

Pretty nice. I have to resist anything like that by ignoring it as much as possible, because for me, it's a slippery slope and the next thing, I find I'm drowning in the stuff and keep looking for more as I MUST GET EVERYTHING. Visions of Gollum and his "precious" come to mind.

One of these days you're going to need to have a dedicated gaming room, GKID - a place where you can game, program, w0#k on rigs, keep collectibles, have a fridge and food available, and no one else is allowed to enter.

Don't forget bathroom facilities!

fragger, I've known abut this Robby the Robot for some time now that might interest you: http://www.hammacher.com/Product/10921

Spoiler

It's only $32,000 USD but you'd be the first on your block to own one.

If I can get a proper apartment in Hamar, I'll definitely do that

Don't you already have, GKID?
Everything else in the room is just slowly losing terrain until it ends up in the walkway
