My Resident Evil Figure Collection

[nemesis_lover]

yeah buying big bundles is how i completed my star wars collection early. It's just hard to find a seller with more then 1 moby dick figure at the same time and if they do its either a claire and mr.x lol, which aren't the ones i wish to get at this time. The way i see collecting is, secure the rare ones first, then go onto the common ones, because after going through the hard job, you just have a fun end to collecting because your picking up the easy ones If the dragon figures are dolls then i may leave them be, as i prefer statue type, like the nemesis and jill ones. I thought the william might not be a fake because it did look real, its just the box that made me think that it could lead to being one. selfish gene do you also know any gd places to pick up r.e figures at gd deals, even tho i doubt any sellers are silly enough to list them cheap unless there neca ones.

The Dragon Chris and Claire are dolls. I'm not sure about their posability, because I haven't opened my set. Planning to keep them sealed.

I'm not sure about the William G2. I sincerely doubt it's a fake, simply because when people make fakes, they tend to make a few of them. The paint job is pretty good too (on par with the other Moby Dicks, which isn't that great, but not the worst, like alot of fakes). I'm thinking that the figures are all like this, and then in a bigger box with the video containing it all. I'd live to know. Has anyone got one and opened theirs?

As for cheap Moby Dicks. It was a matter of right place-right time for me. A comic store near me imported two cases, which had 7 unique figures (Nemesis II, Tyrant T-002, Rebecca, Hunk, Ivy, Licker, Leon), which are the pricest ones to buy online. I bought them all at once, and got a small discount off the lot. In the end they were about $65 AU each, so about 35 pounds each?

The rest of the single figures aren't so rare in the US, so I just found an ebay seller who had them at a reasonable price, and asked him if I bought them all if he'd close the auctions early, and ship them together for me. It was another big hit at once, but saved for multiple shipping.

The two packs were harder. I found two when I was holidaying in Malayisa, and my father found another when he was in Hong Kong. They were between $25AU and $50AU each. I'd been turning them down for years, because they were all too expensive.

To get the final 2 pack I needed (Nemesis Carlos) cost me a heap. About $130 AU shipped. My complete collection of Moby Dicks took nearly 4 years to get, but eventually I got there.

Buying big at once is the way to do it. Even if a seller has listen them singlely, ask if they'll ship em together, and if they'll close early if you agree to buy all and pay instantly. It's a pain because it can be a HUGE whack to the wallet, but in the long run it's probably the cheapest way.

lol skunky i love how you got your type 2 etc for under $20 odd and i had to folk out over £100 to get mine , i must say you have a very unique glass cab, i like it very much. I think i'm having bad luck or something with r.e figures of late, as i've tried getting ahold of the big bundles, where you get a series or two in one lot, or a seller on ebay is offering 9 figures in one go. I alwasy get outbidded by $1, even when i bid with 30secs to go. Thats 6 times in a row this week and i feel unlucky. i guess the only gd thing is that i've saved a bit of cash but still I must ask, are those dragon r.e claire and chris any gd, as they look like dolls and i really don't like dolls, or are they like real statues? I also must admit i've never seen that william in that kinda box before,i would say its fake but then again i've never known a fake before, except the bloody ganado from r.e 4.

Awesome gear there Skunky. I'm especially jealous of the 9mm bullet packet. It's a PS2 memory card case isn't it?

Thanks S-Gene... Yep it's a metal card case with a flip lid and came with a biohazard bullet on a chain, with the box being a replica of the in game ammo pick ups. I didn't realize it was rare I've also got 2 Outbreak memory cards. A white one and the silver one that comes in a medical dish. At the time when I bought them, I needed more memory cards and getting them online was less than half the price of buying boring old 'normal' ones in the shops here.
Great score with the MD-G2 figure! I've looked at buying that SO many times but the price always goes up beyond what I want to pay. There's a dark version and the one that comes with the video. Looks like you got that one, without the video but it's still an awesome deal!!! $5 The packaging IS different to other ones I've seen. Weird.
I've always wondered what's on the video...
I also recently got the Capcom Girls set (just for Jill)

I'll give you £5 for the Moby Dick Rebecca Chambers

Actually, that's about how much I paid for it (but I'm not selling it). I got all the MD figures some years ago, before RE4 made the franchise so popular and the prices so high. Back in the days when it was still possible to find bargains online... Rebbeca, Leon, Licker, Nemesis type2 etc. I got em' all for about $15-$20 each.

Both figures are in a box and only the colored version has the video tape included.

I'm looking for a colorec and COMPLETE G2 figure if someone is interested ;)

EDIT : Is there anywhere a RIP of the tape ?

[TheSelfishGene]

I went looking for some new Zelda Gashapons. Couldn't find those, but I found this instead. It's an old Jill Valentine figure from the 'Capcom Gals' line, from 2001.


I also found this.


It's in a damaged box, but it only cost me 580yen (about $5!).
I've never seen a Moby Dick G2 in a blister package? I understood that they were in window boxes? Am I wrong? The package says 'Figure video', but the video isn't included. I thought even the grey editions were in boxes? I also understand the grey edition doesn't have the video?

The box damage


'Figure video'


And if anyone is interested, the Zelda gashapons. I found them in Den Den town, but can't find any info about them. Can't even find them online.

I finally took a few photos of some of my RE gear. I've got my figs in a cabinet I refer to as my RE-shrine. I had to get a 2nd cabinet for my other RE stuff like the games, guides, books, comics and various gear. I've also got a lot of posters and some t-shirts that arn't in the pics. It's by no means 'complete' but my RE collection has been building up over the years...
The shrine is set up with the 1st shelf being mostly RE, REmake and RE-Zero, the 2nd shelf RE2, the 3rd shelf RE3 and the 4th shelf RE-CV and RE4.
pic1 is my RE-shrine.
pic2 is a closer view of shelf 1&2.
pic3 is shelf 3&4.
pic4 is cabinet #2.
pic5 is part of my lounge/game room. You can see the cabinets on the far left, rows of games (yep, there's a few), my old tube tv (kept for playing gun games) and my new BraviaX LCD on the far right.

Umm, hi. Could you please tell me where you live so I can come and steal all your figures?

Seriously, that's bloody impressive. Well done. I'll give you £5 for the Moby Dick Rebecca Chambers

Awesome gear there Skunky. I'm especially jealous of the 9mm bullet packet. It's a PS2 memory card case isn't it?

Now, it's not often that I see a piece of biohazard/resident evil merchandise, and I have absolutely no idea what it is, or roughly when it was released. That happened to me today. I saw this.





She was 19,800yen, so about $175USD. Very pricey for what it is. But I figured if I didn't buy it, I'd be kicking myself for eternity.
I asked the shop vendor a bit about it (well my friend with me did). They said it was made by a local, and authorized from Capcom in a very limited run. The one I have is numbered 0009. The other one in the shop was 0035. On the box it says it was made by VOLKS.INC, which is actually the name of the shop I bought her from.
Although pricey, she may just be the rarest thing in my collection at the moment.






The same store also had the Dragon figures, 8,600yen for the pair. I grabbed those too. Years ago I was soooo close for paying about $100 each for them, but declined. I think getting those both for what I consider really cheap, helps me justify the above Claire... Just a little...

Now it's miso soup and curry rice til pay-day

Hey guys someone interested in this two "Bottlecapfigures" I have to sell ?

The first is thisone :



And the 2nd :



Both are sealed, only the box is opened to identify them.

[nemesis_lover]

thats what i hate about getting into collecting these late, all the moby dick etc are too expensive, gd old shildo who has that amazing collection seems to have no problem with getting them lol. I just wished they were only like £7 each and they sold them in game and toy shops for you to just go in and buy, but i guess those lucky ebay sellers have me and a some others hooked. ANYONE GOT ANY MOBY DICK MOC FOR SALE, except i would prefer uk sellers, as postage can ruin the buying experience. Next figure to make should be Barry, i have no clue why they haven't made one, like the first series of r.e by toy biz, made chris, jill, forest etc but no barry (or wesker ). What would be the one figure you would want to see? Also do you think its better to only have one of one figure, such as only have one wesker or one nemesis type 2 etc, i kinda prefer that, as it makes it that much special to have in your collection.

[Dot50Cal]

ah thats the limited edition single pack. i've seen that one, its just that if the claire 2 pack was around that would be pretty cool to have. Dot because you seem to collect unique items, how much would you pay for the proto that you listed of that tyrant?

I got out of that game a while ago What really sent me off was the prices a former Palisades employee wanted for prototype figures. They are insane (and still on ebay to this day). Stuff like that is just really demoralizing to me. I have a terrible habit of wanting to collect everything in a series. The figures eventually became too much money (especially the Palisades ones) so I bailed out

I have photographs and some info on how the releases all came together, I really should form them into a feature soon.

[TheSelfishGene]

ah thats the limited edition single pack. i've seen that one, its just that if the claire 2 pack was around that would be pretty cool to have.

There were two packs of Jill and Hunter, Jill and Drain Demos, Jill and Brain Sucker (I forget which costume was packed in which), and Carlos and Nemesis I.
I'm quite certain Dot's correct, in that the Chris & Tyrant 2 pack was only released in the Resident Evil packaging. They were also released as singles (but I'm not sure under which line).

After that the two packs were abandoned, for the single figures (with the above mentioned overlap, and single Nemesis I). They must have never hit production, because I've never seen a two pack for sale, sold out, or advertised anywhere (other then the back of the early boxes).

I dont think they ever did a Claire x Nemesis 2 pack. I do know a 2pack with Chris and Mr X made its way out, but IIRC it was a "RESIDENT EVIL" branded one, which might explain things.

The Green Nemesis Type 1 you are talking about is from a Limited Edition pack, where its just him alone in a single package. The color on him is more green.
