The latest plastic-trinket-you-don't-need from figurine masters First 4 Figures is so effing cool I almost--almost!--want to ignore its $225 price tag and grab one. It's Samus Aran clad in the Phazon Suit from Metroid Prime, and it is absolutely rife with that sexiest instrument of low-wattage illumination, the LED. 

No Caption Provided
I defy you to look at these pictures without kind of, sort of thinking about ordering one. If you do take leave of your senses long enough to place an order, do it quickly; the thing is limited to a run of 1500 pieces.


Every time I get to the brink of buying something like this, I keep myself at bay by asking myself what exactly I'm going to do with it. Since the answer is invariably "clutter my desk with it for a few months before putting it in the closet," it's not hard to reestablish self-control. For those of you who do make a habit of this kind of thing, what do you do with them? Do yours end up in boxes too? Do you have vacuum-sealed glass display cases all over your house, museum-style? If anyone's rocking a serious collection of nerdy items, I'd love to see a photo gallery.

I think, "How many games could I by with that 225 dollars?" Then the answers usually, "Way more than that thing's worth."

I've got a few nerdy items.  I'll have to nab some pictures.  I'm trying to set up a glass aquarium with notches cut at regular intervals in the case so I can insert dowels and then prop up the figurines with fishing string.  It's sort of a cheap man's display case, but I like the lighting and the size.  It's definitely going to take a while to finish, since I have to either replace some of the glass or buy an entirely new aquarium.  I also need to figure out what I'm going to do for the base.  I'm thinking about just using painted foam, but we'll see.

Probably the coolest game-related figurine that I've ever seen. My wallet cries at the very thought of purchasing one, however.

I'd settle for plain old action figures of all the bounty hunters they introduced in the later games.

So i keep all my toys and stuff ontop of a DVD cabinet in my room that stands at about eye level.

Yes, that's a copy of Silent Hill. No. i didn't pay for it.

So there are some of the nicer things i've got going in my collection. i tend to accumulate alot of these toys, working at a video game store and being a comic book geek. the shelf has the dubious title of  "gallery of bad impulse buys." but i like having a little shrine to the things i love and the reason i didn't lose my virginity until i was 18.

The $20 figurines i bought - In a box, in the closet.

The "figurines" i made are cluttering my desk, though. Not really figurines at all, just a bunch of copies of the same plaster zombie head yet to be painted.

So if i really want a figurine of any character i could just make one myself...in theory...and then procrastinate the notion until i don't care anymore. That's my system.

Though...i kinda do wanna buy one of those $80 figurines of my character from Rockband.

That's actually one of the better looking figurine things I've seen in a while. If they knocked off $200 then yes I'd get one to show off on my desk. Since it is $225 id rather just get a portable system with that kinda cash.

To justify that more they should have put a clock on the bottom of the figurine. I mean it's no DSi clock, but it would make a nice clock.

That is pretty cool. But where can I put it that it will be in a constant state of motion blur? Maybe whenever I look at it I'll just jerk my head to the side real quick.
