i have to explain that i dont like toys anymore and collectible figurine isn't a hobby that i used to have BUT (here the tale commence)

last week my brother told me that he bought me something, i wasnt aware of what it was and he didnt want to told me the thing but that i was going to get it this weekend.. what was it, a video game cd/dvd, a new bass guitar, a new car, a cereal bowl, the point was that i wasnt able to put the finger on it....

Saturday morning ( 2h O'clock, well im a crazy guy who dont sleep during weekend ) i was playing megaman and my bro showed up at my place and he told me do you want your gift now? i told him -> sure why not !

he gave me a box with that inside

I've maintained for years now that McFarlane Toys makes the best stuff ever. EVER!

yeah McFarlane's toys are the best ever, but i wasnt thinking that i was going to possess one someday..

True, McFarlane has great sculptors on board, no arguements there. I just don't agree with his policy of sacrificing articulation for sculpt. If you want to make statues Todd, just do it already and stop pretending by occasionally throwing in a wrist joint.

I used to have the Solid Snake figure from their MGS2 line. I personally believe he's the reason most decent action figures (when I looked, wasn't able to buy) retail for 8 or 9 dollars, when "in my day" I remember being able to get a TMNT for 5 bucks. Now, 40 dollars for a Transformers: Energon Galvatron? My only rationalization is "because it's cool".

My reaction exactly.

I still have my Psycho Mantis toy (still in the box, since I'm a dweeb), but I don't really have too many other McFarlane toys. My girlfriend has the cowboy spawn toy, along with one of the Ghost in the Shell toys, but I can't think of anything else we may have.

They may look cool, but I still prefer the old Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles toys.

Actually I remember really liking the rubbery TMNT Movie 1 figures.

yeah, to make a long story short, that family was fucking crazy.
