Specific figure - surprise focus collection

Post by AaroKin »

I just purchased an Episode VII Constable Zuvio off trade me last night and it made me think about how many I actually owned.

I liked this figure from the first time I saw him and have picked up one or two when I've seen him (usually on sale). I spent a few minutes this morning going through my packed up collection and managed to drag out a few Zuvios and was really surprised on how many I own lol I found eleven figures but I know for sure I have another five or six tucked away in boxes. I think it's time to stop on the Zuvio buying but that's proving a bit easier said then done.

Has anyone else discovered an 'unknown' focus figure within their collections or is it just me haha

In a couple of instances, an accidental focus has become an intentional/active one for me.

Although I love the vintage Hammerhead figure, I didn't initially make an active decision to hoard an army of them... but one day I just realised that if I put all that I had in one place, there were quite a few. Thereafter, pursuit of more became a hobby. This is an older photo... more have been added.

Hammerhead is a cool figure.....Ive been trying to find one looking to his right for a while now but so far no joy. Do you have one in your collection?

Did you paint the orange one yourself?

Mine if you exclude troopers would be Darth Vader, i have like 3 black series, 1 bandai 6 inch, one samarui vader, and another on its way, as well as about 6-7 3.75 versions of vader.
I think second would be Captain Rex 5-6 of him 3.75 i haven't found him 6 inch at a price i'd pay.

Oh i also have a bunch of obiwan kenobi's i wanted his newer clone wars release and the 10x loose was cheaper than normal, so i guess i have around 20 obiwans but not all the same type 10 of the one though.

I was driving through Hamilton yesterday and stopped off at the Farmers store at The Base shopping centre.

I was lucky enough to rescue five more Episode VII Zuvio figures, four of them are in rough shape but I couldn't leave them there to go to waste.....five more added to the collection lol

Fun :) I haven't actually seen a Zuvio on a shelf for a while, come to think of it. TBH, I'm not even sure we've one in our collection (probably should remedy that one day).

The starting point for pic uploads is the "Upload attachment" tab below the post text area and "Save draft"/"Preview"/"Submit" buttons. It's similar to the process on the old forum software, but IIRC might even be one step shorter. You can just click "Add files" and select the file on your computer, and then, optionally, use the "Place inline" link to embed the insertion code (if you don't do that last step, pic appears just below the post).
