    I FINALLY landed Hot Toys Vasquez!!!

    Boy, this one took me F O R E V E R to get at the right price...and finally snagged her at a GREAT price.

    If you look at the eBay Completed Listings since June/July...I bought the least expensive of ALL the Vasquez' on eBay, yeah baby...

    She's complete...and box included...everything is in MINT condition.

    I absolutely LOVE this figure...it has so many accessories...it's just awesome.

    The GUN...oh the GUN...friggin' BADDARSE!!! The GUN has the words..."ADIOS"...

    Love her chest/breast plate with the words, "EL RIESGO SIEMPRE VIVE"...which translates to..."THE RISK ALWAYS LIVES".

    My Superman collection is displayed in my glass curio...but Vasquez will stand by, next to my desktop...to fend off them nasty ALIENS...

    Cool, an amazing deal and a very nice example of the earlier Hot Toys figures.

    I remember seeing these when they first came out, and always wanted to at least get Hicks, but back then they were out of my price range, (I think they were around 100-125?)... After they hit the secondary market, you couldn't find them for under 500. Just makes you want to punch yourself in the head for not jumping at the original price.
    ALL HAIL MING!

      Thanks!

      You are not going to believe this, but she was $85 brand new back in 2006.

      And get this, I had reserved two figures from Sideshow, but cancelled the order because I had a follow up surgery, figuring I get her later...what a mistake that turned out to be, lol.

      Well, at least I finally got her at a great price, Vasquez is home now.

            Looks great. The only Aliens item I picked up was the power loader with Ripley. Used to have that one guarding my back in my upstairs office.

              "Used to have?"

              You have any idea how expensive that figure is???

              Holy smokes!!!!

              It is an awesome figure at that, would love to own one myself, but then I'd have to eat nothing but crackers for a long time, lol.

                I still have the loader and Ripley. They are just in storage limbo since I have moved and do not have a permanent office. If I ever decide to part with them, I'll call you, Hec.

                      Neat. Congrats, Hec.
                      You are a bold and courageous person, afraid of nothing. High on a hill top near your home, there stands a dilapidated old mansion. Some say the place is haunted, but you don't believe in such myths. One dark and stormy night, a light appears in the topmost window in the tower of the old house. You decide to investigate... and you never return...

                            Cool figure Hector...never got into the Aliens line...it would have been too hard to stop, so I never started.
