    Statues or Action figures

    Lets take a look........

    Statues-
    Usually highly detailed
    fragile
    expensive
    holds down papers nicely

    Action figures-
    Now a days can be very detailed and come with nice bases or accessories.
    Can be posed any way you want.
    Can be posed with other toys.
    Can be played with on the living room floor with your kids.
    Usually inexpensive.
    Durable, plastic Doesn't smash to pieces when the cat jumps onto the shelf.
    Can be customized to make other figures.
    Can also hold down papers if that is what you wish.
    Lo there do I see my Father.
    Lo there do I see my Mother and my Sisters and my Brothers.
    Lo there do I see the line of my people back to the begining.
    Lo they do call me.
    They bid me take my place among them.
    In the halls of Valhalla where the brave may live forever.

          Never liked statues, never saw the point. Someone said it best about them being pricey paperweights.

            I just see them as vastly overpriced paperweights that are artificially "collectible" (i.e. so called "limited" items made directly for the collectors market, I have no interest in stuff like that)

                Toys can be naughty or nice, depending on how you pose them. Statues are frozen in time.

                  I suppose statues don't fall over in your cubicle at work as easily, nor can they distract you with the incessant need to get just the right pose. Boss friendly. Another reason not to like them.

                    I only like statues if some else buys them for me as an unexpected gift. Action figures for sure.

                      I think statues/busts can look great if they're well placed in somebodys collection. The 1/1 scale Dracula, Frankenstein, wolfman etc from sideshow I'd like to get someday. As for collecting JUST statues, no interest for me, they aren't much fun to play with in a sandbox, so they hold no nostalgic value to me.

                          I have to admit, statues are better than action figures in the home defense department.
                          It wouldn't be the first time I whack a burglar with my 1/1 Hulk bust......

                            OK So add one to statues-

                              I love the sexy anime girl statues as much as the next guy who loves sexy anime girl statues, but action figures get my vote.
