Sonic Adventure 2: Battle Joyride Studios figurine on eBay..

Sonic Adventure was a great game, too bad they never made a sequel...

The Matrix was a great movie, too bad they never made a sequal...

I wonder if Jennifermew64 will ever post here again or that she(he?) just signed up just to make this one thread in a fultile attempt to troll this board.

[Blount]

I don't think I've ever seen anyone registering after me and making more than one, two posts tops. That said, it's most likely a joke account.

The fact that prototypes fetch a more handsome price than finished versions of some types of products still baffles me to this day. I guess I was just never much of a collector.

[Shadow Hog]

Well, for video games, you can often see cut levels or content - that alone makes such a thing valuable.

Meanwhile, for toys, you get the same toy, but without paint...? How that could possibly be more valuable, I haven't a clue.

[Blount]

Obviously it's because you can paint it using any colors you want and have a model of your own Sonic fan-character!

[Jennifermew64]

Are you people truly this oblivious as to why prototype models of figures are more valuable than the thousands and thousands of standard figures sold in stores?

It's a collecting aspect, hence why these things are for COLLECTORS, god damn.

[Neo]

I know! I'll fill thousands of plastic vials with my own semen and put them up for sale. Then later, I'll sell empty vials, except only a few dozen.

I'll make millions~

EDIT: And then I'll auction a single, cracked vial, except it's signed by Peter Molyneux me

I just imagined the Comic Book Guy's voice saying all that, and I laughed and laughed and laughed.

Because people don't want to buy unpainted ugly figures? That's what I always thought, anyways.

YAY YOU CAME BACK *CLAPS*

[Ngangbius]

Oh boy! Oh boy! She/He sounds like one of those young, blindly optimistic Sonic fans that we haven't seen in awhile here. I hope she stays long enough to make another inane thread such as "Which Sonic character is your favorite?"

Oh I know it's rare. I'm just not impressed that this is what you are spending over $200 for.

[Oompa Star]

I'm finding it hard to believe that this item is real. Why would anyone package an unpainted prototype figure and call it a collector's item?

[Shadow Hog]

Speaking of random eBay items, I find it rather annoying that a SNES with no cables goes for $30. Broken. To get a SNES that actually works, has cables and controllers, it's something like $50+... and even then, no games included, generally.

Still better than buying it new back in the day, I'm sure, but I was expecting a bit cheaper, given the prevalence of emulation.

[cjmcray]

I once had an unopened Amy Rose Sonic Adventure figure (Resaurus line) that I stupidly sold on eBay for $35.
It's now damn near impossible to find and probably worth more than $100

Is it? I've still get the whole set (except skiing Sonic) in still unopened packages, but I've never been able to guess how much they're worth because I never see them online anymore.

That was just a guesstimate. Resaurus figures are impossible to find in their original boxes, not to mention the much rarer Series 2 line, so I imagine it being pretty expensive.

[Jennifermew64]

You people have(had) unopened ReSaurus Sonic figures and you're questioning collecting value? :/

[Dr. BUGMAN]

Sonic toys is serious business.

Personally, id love to get my hands on a really, really butt-ugly Sonic rip-off toy much more than i would a valuable collectors item. Rip-offs based on franchises that i like are my passion, and searching for and purchasing the ugliest ones i can find is a hobby that's both fun and usually very, very cheap. My favorite ones so far are a Mario toy with green skin that is riding a car with a sticker on it that says "kids happy moment", and an indescribably repulsive Michaelangelo (the Ninja Turtle) toy that looks more like the aborted love child of said turtle and the elephant man... that has spent some time in a micro wave oven.

[Shadow Hog]

...okay, now you've got me curious. I'd like to see pictures of these two abortions of toy making.

And id love to show them, but sadly i don't have a digital camera, nor a scanner. Id draw a picture of them in Paint, but i don't really know how to attach pictures from my own computer (as opposed to from the internet) to message board posts.

What, ive just been to busy with more important things over the years to have found the time to acquire the knowledge about computers and other digital thingies that most other people posses these days. You know, important things like collecting rip-offs!

She's so cute. <3

"Forget savings, bonds and stocks! Build your retirement funds today by hording incomplete action figures in your closet now!"

Honestly, how do you live with yourself, never taking your toys out of their packaging? For shame!

[Dasher]

This reminds me of the SA2 Shadow plush that reached 1000 dollars...maybe higher.

You eventually save up a lot of money when you never leave your bedroom well into your 30s.
