Unfortunately the parts missing are the pieces that come with rebecca, nemesis type 2 and Claire Redfield (RE02 Type) aall of which are pretty rare and very expensive. God id love to get my hands on the type two nemesis.
    I have the twisted leg that comes with Claire but nothing to attach it to

    Yea Nemesis Type-2 would sure be nice.

    The mouthparts are separate in one of the two packs. I forget which though - except it's not Carlos nemesis.

    You're gonna be mighty upset, but collecting all 16 only gives 6 of the 7 spikes on nemesis back. I bought an extra figure that came with a spike (T-02) to finish it.
    EDIT: My list excludes Chris + Mr X. He was only released in the USA I believe.
    Thanks man, I could really use that list for my RE/BH figure archive site I'm working on. It's ridiculous that you have to buy an extra figure just for a spike. It wouldn't be that big of a deal if they were regular priced figures, but affordable, they are not. At this stage, I'm not even worried about the little rib spikes/tentacles I'm missing, I just want some big chunks of him. I basically have both legs, a back tentacle and the large front tentacle...now if I could only get the torso, arm, or head. Btw Gene, is the mouth/beak thing part of the head or is that also sold separate?

    Cool man thanks, I also ordered Chris last night and I know for a fact that he comes with a Nemesis leg thanks to one of Dot's old pics when he first bought some Moby Dick figures years ago. When I say leg, I mean the one that actually resembles a leg, not the jumbled up twisted piece of flesh that is his other leg lol. 11 down, 9 more to go, 10 including Nemesis Type-3. I'll be 40 by the time I get all this damn things

    Also for anyone that's trying to keep track, Pink Vest Claire comes with the twisted leg, Biker Claire comes with a tentacle and Regina Jill/Brainsucker also comes with a tentacle. A list of the nemesis parts associated with each figure would be mighty helpful.

    Just bought the EL Gigante figure to complete my Biohazard 4 agatsuma set as well as the Moby Dick Mr.X (I'm probably aiming for Chris next just because those two are the cheapest to find other than the Claire figures). All I need now is Leon, Chris and Rebecca and I'll have all the humans figures, but I still have quite a few B.O.W.'s to collect.*sighs*

    Can you tell me what Nemesis part comes with Mr.X? (if your package has arrived and you've decided to take it out of the box of course) I hope to god it's finally a piece of the torso or head. I have all these damn parts and yet none of them connect to each other, a tentacle, another tentacle, a leg, etc.
    It hasnt arrived yet but I would be happy to tell you what part comes with it. It should be here any day now. Im actually more excited about the nemesis part than the figure it self. I'd love to one day own the whole thing. Ive seen the full figure go for upto about £500!! I think it was that corndog guy selling it actually. His prices are ridiculous, even for prototypes (reminds me of the proto tyrant from RE Zero, god id love a figure line from that game) dont think id ever spend that kind of money on a figure.

    I thought I was the only one! That dude always has things that I want (and not just Resident Evil stuff), and he is ALWAYS way too expensive. If you actually read his page on eBay, it says something about all proceeds going to help his youngest son's medical bill. I can't remember exactly what he has, but I think over $2,000 for an action figure is just legions beyond unreal.

    Example: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Resident-Evi...item58902d5c13

    I realize it is a prototype, and those usually are a lot more expensive than the actual figure, but still, I'm sure he didn't pay over $500 for this. Secondly, based on the number of prototypes he tends to have on eBay, I would suspect that he either works for an action figure company or has access to someone who does

    I think realistic prices would help Little CornPuppy a lot more than these outrageous ones.

    Even as a massive Ashford collector/obsessor, I have no desire to own the Palisades prototypes of Alexia or Alexander. I am interested to know who would ever be in the market for something of that calibur.

    ...$1000 for the actual Ashford music box...Then we'll talk, but in Corndog prices it would probably be closer to $9,999.

    Didnt know where to post this and didnt want to make a topic for it but thought it was funny and had to post it. My house boiler broke down last week and needed repairing. Anyway the British Gas guys came today and fitted a new one. They had to lay some pipes in my room and my mother said the one guy was asking about my RE collection. Wish I was here to speak to him he must have been a hardcore RE fan because he went through all my stuff. He took my Chainsaw controller out of the box because he didnt close it properly and my RE lighters are laying flat as opposed to standing up and my games are a little shuffled round. I dont know any RE fans in person wish I was there to talk to him bout it.

Regardless of who the character is, I cannot see paying over $40 for a figure of that quality that isn't even that old.

    HUNK and Rebecca seem to be the ones that are always the most expensive. Just a quick search through eBay found a Rebecca for $375. If anyone pays that for an action figure, there is something seriously wrong...But this is coming from someone who spent $400 on one of those Dead Rising jackets...Even still I can't see it for an action figure.

    I think i was lucky as the two figures I bout went up to about £20 each including shipping. I would like to say id never spend over £40 on a figure but i did spend £80 on a William G2 black variant.

    I got really lucky last year and found a guy on ebay who sold me HUNK, Carlos, Nemesis Type-1, Jill (RE1) and a Beta Hunter for $380. Whew, dodged a bullet on that one because I would never pay that much for a single figure, thus I never thought I'd own HUNK or any of those more expensive figures.





    I finally got a RE4 chainsaw controller (PS2 version) as well as a mint condition copy of Resident Evil Gaiden, a Biohazard Leon doll and the Nemesis mask. Not too bad for my first purchases in a while...my bank account is taking a beating though The good thing is I shopped smart and got all of the above for about $170.

    Just bought two boxed moby dick figures. I got claire and Mr x (first form) from ebay for a pretty damn good price. Rebecca was on there to but damn was she expensive!!

    Anyone interested in buying the Code Veronica guide book? I bought it thinking I never had it and turns out I do. Take £10 for it.
