Never sell a figure unless it falls in the "I'm okay if I never hold this figure again" category. Half the time I end up using other lesser figures to make the newer figure better. As in the case of all these Gambits we've been getting to make a hodgepodge "ultimate" 90s Gambit because they're never going to give you a perfect version of him. Plus if it's even a character you mildly like just stick them on another shelf until you decide what to do with them. Core X-Men I never sell unless it's something like a costume or an era that does nothing for me, like Krakoa.
Absolutely. It's happened with trade paperbacks a couple times as well. *sigh*
Sadly, as a collector of various media this has happened in almost every area (but most recently with a figure a couple months ago)--not that I thought I got rid of an item, but just totally forgot I bought it in the first place. The only place this hasn't happened (yet) is with books, though, I did almost re-buy the What If... Into the Multiverse v2 omni recently.
Okay, I'm at a loss here; what is this? I understand lomos is Spanish for loins but, um...
How so? I've abstained from ordering him and don't plan to do so, but I'm genuinely curious how they managed to improve the figure. I thought it was exactly the same as the BaF aside from the headsculpts and color? Btw, I really like the newer bear head over the original, but not enough to drop $40.
Oof, I have. Mostly with figures that I either didn't have room for in the display or took off the shelf and put away for whatever reason. Happened a lot with movies as well at the secondhand store we have here. I'd forget about it, see said figure in the wild and go "Oh, I wanted that one" and get it. Only happened a few times, but it was embarrassing every time. Part ADHD, part me just being a goober. It's really the only time that "make a list" has ever helped me- I now have a log of everything I own so I can reference it if I ever need to. Well, most of the time. Sometimes I forget I made the list.
I have only one thing to say to that:
The plastic feels sturdier, the fur is cast in a sharper, more eye-catching way (the other one is so flat and glossy), the head sculpt is a LOT better with the hinged jaw so he's not perma-screaming. Like part of me ordered the new one because the old one feels like the hips were going to snap and break at some point and I didn't want to be without and Ursa but this one just feels like better material top to bottom. I'll need to do some test poses because I don't think it's REALLY more posable than the original, but just the quality of the parts used is a noticeable improvement.
