Restarting collection

I was obsessed with Bionicle when I was growing up and had an extensive collection beginning with the Toa Mata through to Glatorians. Unfortunately my mother was a major hoarder and everything I had was lost when our child hood house had to be torn down for health reasons. Now 20 years later I want to start collecting again and I’m looking for advice on the best way to begin on a sensible budget.

Help Identifying the Maker of this statue?

It says MX Designs on the bottom but that company does not exist. There is a company named MX Studios that make similar scale statues though no just cannot confirm they are the same.

This comes from the estate of a huge collector that frequented Cons so it’s possible it was a one off sale of a sample. Can anyone help?

Tainan & Kaoshiung Consignment Toy Stores

HI! I will be visiting Tainan & Kaoshiung in the coming months and I am looking for toy stores and shops similar to what Taipei has (Wan Nian Building & Taipei Underground Mall) and Hong Kong (In's Point), and Osaka (Volks [Photo])

I am looking for niche dinosaur collectibile figures mostly from Bandai, Kaiyodo, Gachapon, Tomy, etc. I usually have luck in finding these toys on 2nd hand/consignment toy stores sold through different display boxes of different collectors

Is there a similar place/store in Tainan and Kaoshiung I can visit? It's ok if it's not in 1 place, as long as its a toy store selling mostly older toys from other collectors.

Thank you!

5K Toys vs Big Bad Toy Store ???

To all the toy collecting experts out there what are your thoughts and/or experience from purchasing figures from either of these places? Could you all help me understand which might be a better option to buy from?
5K Toys, ultimately, has it going for $48+ shipping (who knows how much the shipping will be) while BBTS has it for $65.99. That $65.99 is already calculating the $6 dollar shipping into it, correct?
Any advise would be appreciated. Thanks in advance!

**EDIT **
My bad all, stupid me forgot to mention I live in Texas. Item would be shipped to Texas.

Help : Madball Action Figure Spares.

Hey Guys, i collected a ton of my old Toys from my Parents house this weekend. In my haul, amongst other things were my complete collection of Madball Head Poppers, including a boxed Roller Cycle, Foul Shot and Touchdown Terror. I noticed some of the head popping release pins were snapped. Does anybody know if you can get these anywhere so that I can repair them?

[Restoration Reference] Does anyone have a complete 1996 Woody that they can post pictures of?

(I wasn't sure what flair to use, if this is the wrong one, please let me know and I'll fix it)

As a kid, I had a 1996 Woody that I adored the life out of, I had it since I was 3 but it was stolen by a really crappy person when I was 10-11 years old and on and off I would keep thinking about it. Now at age 33, I decided to see if I could get mine back, and coincidentally this Woody appeared at a really solid price. I don't think this was my original one that was stolen (since I have no idea where it would have ended up after all these years) but I'm honestly really happy to have one back that looked like my old one :)

His hat's missing, so is his neckerchief, stirrups and his voice box doesn't work, but I went into this fully expecting to do some work to restore him. The problem is, whenever I try to look at references of a complete Woody, they're still in the box, so I can't get a good look at his stirrups and all his parts.

I know I could reference the movie, but I want to reference the toy itself, since he obviously has some differences to his film-self. I'm going to be modeling and 3D printing his missing parts, but I really need photos kinda like these to get some good references so I can keep everything to scale. I'm also going to carefully take him apart, since I need to wash everything, as well as repair his voice box and add some new lines too.

I'm not asking anyone who has their 1996 in their box to open it up, just that if he's already out of the box, some references would be amazing, otherwise I'm gonna have to improvise and I don't think it would be too accurate if I go by the film proportions, otherwise I may as well just customise the guy, but if it can be helped I'd rather not.

I have been on the hunt for this old toy for years, has anyone heard of it? (Poor drawing as reference)

First off sorry about the poor drawing I am going off of a 15 year old memories and mouse drawing.

I have been looking for this plush toy for years now and I just can't find it. I used to have it when I was little but lost it after a house fire when I was sixteen and I have been wanting to find it once more. If anyone can give me any info from on what it was called so i can look into it I'd be very grateful.

What Info I can remember

  1. I was told that I was given this when I was a baby/very young? That make the toy probably from either the 90's or early 2000's. I was born in July of 1996 so probably not much older then that.

  2. Unfortunately the tag was cut off and what text that was on it was long sense gone aside from the word "Flutter" on it's stomach.

  3. I don't think it was a beanie baby as searches regarding them have lead to nothing like it, maybe some off brand. It had beanies like them in its torso but its legs and arms where stuffed like its head.

Sorry if this isn't enough or if this isn't really right for this sub but if anyone has any info I'd be very grateful or can point me to somewhere that I could post this
