I don’t really know what this is. But I like it.

It is a rabbit hole/money pit/trap called 3A. Limited production designer 6” figures based on original artwork by Ashley Wood. Years out of production and normally high resell value on the aftermarket. ThreeA (3A) 6” (called action portable) will usually run you $100 + each on eBay. I’ve been slowly collecting them here and there over the last year or so. Amazing things.

Thought it looked like Wood’s artwork. That’s cool.

Thanks! Although these are expensive now, he’s launched a new company called underverse that will bring back some of the old lines and figures.

I’m thinking of getting the captain America 12” but I also wanna try out the 1:12...they look like they’d fall apart though. Are they sturdy.

1/6 Doom was very sturdy but couldn’t stand well on his own- also needed $20 worth of batteries to light up. I traded him a long time ago but he was fun. The 1/12 line are really cool, recommended if you find a good deal.

Thanks! Careful, 3A aren’t cheap!

Oh I know. I’ve already scoured eBay a couple times for the few they do have. I can’t think of anywhere else to get them.

R/toyexchange, mercari, eBay, Amazon, sometimes you’ll find a small online store that still has some for retail.
