Hey man depends on what you are after when it comes to how expensive the hobby is. Nexus has some nice figures and statues that can suit your wallet.

My first piece of advice is to decide on what you want; is it normal toys like the action figures you played with as a kid or high-end figures like Hot Toys or statues. Price increases depending on which you are after.

Next piece of advice decide on a manufacturer that you like if you decide on high-end figures or statues. For figures Hot Toys is the most known and sought after, but you have Prime 1 and a AAA that do some very nice figures. Part of this is what you want, if you want Marvel Movie figures, especially Iron Man, Hot Toys is your manufacturer. If you want I know a guy that I bought a couple of HT figures from so can PM you his number.

For statues Sideshow makes insanely detailed but stupidly pricey statues, but so does Prime 1. Kotobukiya has two line the ArtFX which range from R1k to R1.5k and are easily sourced locally online and in store. Their more high end stuff is pricey, my Black Panther was about R4k IIRC and goes under the moniker of FineArts.

For all your needs, especially second hand, I suggest two FB groups. the first is Shire's Geekbay and the second is Action Figure Trader. Guys use those two groups to advertise whenever they are selling their collections and you can get some good deals there.

AAAHHHHHH!!!!

Very nice

Try that comic shop on Beyers Naude they stock a lot of this range. I hate the shiny quality to these designs

Will keep a look out for you

Thanks guys!

They are, but they must just fix their piss poor bases!
Those magnetic bases are terribly weak!!
