Thanks for the comparison shots! That's really useful.
Though it's going to have to be a future reference thing, all bjd plans may have just been put on hold...
Gah - the Hot Toys quarter scale Wantage just came to a head, I'd thought that I was safe because the version I particularly desired was sold out everywhere... Not so, and it's a UK-based retailer that I trust (I scored my Hot Toys Loki from them, and woah looking at the old invoice, it's hard to believe how cheap he was compared to current Hot Toys RRPs!).
I may have to do an action figure cull to afford this guy - the British RRP is ridiculously high compared to the US one, even at the current crashed exchange rate and accounting for VAT, but at least the site is a known quantity, and there'd no epic tax bill later.
Hrmm - if I manage to sell several of my 1/6 scale guys for the rates the scalpers reckon they're worth it might be doable, and it would have the handy side effect of clearing shelf space right? (Damn it's going to be working out who gets the chop that'll be problematic - a couple immediately come to mind, and then get dismissed by second thoughts, greed, and the fact that I was raised by two hoarders so tend that way myself despite best efforts!)
If I manage to successfully budget for this guy (£500GBP, wah!) I'm so going to do a photoset with equivalently scaled bjds, I've got a couple that would make amusingly ridiculous bedfellows.
