50,000 yen for an action figure?

ok, so what's the story behind them? CrowsxWorst? I guess this one is a limited edition with crazy tatoos on his arms ala BrothersFree, but for this kind of money, I don't see all the hyper-realistic gear you get ala BrothersFree...

I'm always surprised how much some of those crowsxworst figures go for. I saw that same figure (I think that version just came out or something) with bids over 30000.

I think "worst" is the manga and "crows" is another JP lifestyle brand? Something like that...but yeah, they're pretty much just action figures. Of course who am I to judge what people want to collect, lol.

They're only distributing the RAH line from Medicom, nothing else though.

Haha. At superfest this weekend I won a ticket to buy that toy twice. It was awesome. Both times people came up to me and offered me $80 for the ticket to buy it. I didn't even know what the hell it was I would have given it away rather than buy that thing.

Yah, I sold both. The toy wasn't being released for 3 hours and it was $100 I think retail.

Plus, look at it.

HaHAHaHA!

That's rich.

I know a lot of collectors think we're crazy for dropping COIN for what they see as 'bath-tub squeek toys', but yeah----look at it.

That action figure is pathetic. McFarlane figures have more articulation and are more interesting, for crying outloud.

Hehe -- My girl says the toys I collect look like something from Toys R Us.
