Take a Shot with DASH and Win a Halo 4 Prize Pack

The world of action figures keeps getting closer and closer to the world of video games, and we here at Collector-ActionFigures.com are well aware of that fact.

Poe’s Pick of the Week: The Dark Knight Trilogy Play Arts Kai – Batman

I’m currently working on a review of the Play Arts Kai Batman: Arkham Asylum Batman, but in the meantime, consider this figure for your collection. “The Dark Knight Rises, comes Batman as a 10″ Play Arts Kai action figure with alternate sets of hands, various weapons, and a display stand. Window box packaging.” –PG

News from BBTS: We’ve updated our site with improved graphics, an auto-fill search function, and a new image viewer for the product images. Many more upgrades to our site and systems will be taking place over the next year, stay tuned for more. (more…)

S.H.MonsterArts King Ghidorah Now Available

S.H.MonsterArts King Ghidorah is now available at Amazon and Entertainment Earth, and should be available any day now at BBTS. I’ve opened mine and hope to get to a review eventually, but in the meantime I can tell you that it’s an amazing action figure but be very careful with the wings. They’re not really designed to “flap” from right to left, but rather, they’re designed to move up and down a bit. The special hinge at the base of the wings was reportedly designed to prevent the wings from putting excess weight on the joint, causing the joint to become brittle and break over time. Ironically, this design makes the joint weak when yanked around in other directions, so it’s prone to breaking. Whether or not that risk is worth the price is entirely up to you (though the good news is you can probably return the figure if you order through a U.S. retailer – I didn’t). Being someone who would have sacrificed his entire Transformers collection as a kid for super-articulated Godzilla toys, the risk was worth it to me, but I’m a complete mark for this line.

DASH – The Value of a Membership

New PGPoA sponsor DASH sends along the following update. –PG

The Value of a DASH Membership

If you still don’t see the value of a membership on Collector-ActionFigures, then we’ve got a lot to show you. You might think DASH is just about our giveaways, since we’re giving away Sideshow Collectibles Snake Eyes and Transformers Masterpiece Thundercracker prizes totaling in value at over $250 right now. Those contests are a great reason to Like DASH on Facebook, sign up for a free membership, and become a part of the DASH Collector’s Club, but they’re far from the only reason to join DASH today.

One of the real values in a DASH membership are the values themselves. The Catalog features more than 40,000 figures with associated loose and packaged values. Not only does this help buyers and sellers find the exact right price for their items, it also gives collectors and in-depth look at their collection and what it’s worth. If you’re looking to see precisely what you have and get an idea what your efforts have been worth, than a DASH collection report is the only way to do it.

This sample collection report shows a user with 870 items valued at more than $15,000.

The only way to get this kind of detailed collection report is with an upgraded membership on Collector-ActionFigures. Join the DASH Collector’s Club and finally take your first good long look at your collection.
