Lovely! A step nearer the edge of a new cliff for me! :roll:
When confronted by a difficult problem you can solve it more easily by reducing it to the question. How would the Lone Ranger handle this?

There's a small part of me that wants to sell my Joe collection and throw myself at Sideshow/Hot toys. What ruins it is customs!

The 3 figures I have so far (Just waiting for Action Figure Supplies to hook me up with my Baroness) are jaw dropping good but they're not toys like Action Man was. You can put them in cool poses but the bodies are fairly limp and the accessories are resin based so they're brittle as hell. They look good in a show case but that's about it! It's been cool to check out the detailng and all the hidden straps, buckles etc but I'm scared to death of breaking anything! Don't get me wrong, I'll probably get more but it's a case of seeing them at a reasonable amount from a UK seller.

I know the feeling mate, every few months I think about letting my Joes go as there are so many variants it seems never ending. I keep thinking should I stop and collect something easier on the pocket and more achieve able!

Sigh.

Awesome, I have tried to keep clear of all these Sideshow items and especially this Firefly since I know this will only lead to an even bigger hole in my pocket ;)

He's a very Cool figure indeed, so far my favorite is Zartan (even though I love the Snake eyes & Timber pack). Zartan comes loaded with all the cool bits you'd expect plus all the weapons etc you remember from the comic. They seem to be improving with every figure and I have 2 more now on order plus (thanks to a heads up from wolforrest) I should have an exclusive Flint on the way!

A big thank you to Wolforrest for getting me together with yet another Sideshow figure, Flint! This ones the Exclusive that comes with his signature shotgun, here's a couple of quick pics, I don't have a case (Yet) to display them in but lets just say by the time I get round to getting one I may need 2 :)

Here's more stuff for the cabinet...when I get one. I have several more on the way which will bring my total up to 13. (Sorry about the poor pic). I'm pretty much done for money but there's still several of the slightly older SS figures that I'd love to get hold of (Beachhead, Dusty, Cobra Trooper).
