Today on Across the Toyverse, Scott and I are talking accessories. What a figure comes with can make or break a figure and sometimes be the deciding factor on how we choose our figures. How many at a minimum should come with the different lines we collect for the prices we pay is something all collectors struggle with. We also discuss Godzilla Day, the Mezco One:12 Collective Deadpool, and stop the show to try to order the Mezco Hulk. Additionally, we talk about the things we are loving and hating this week in action figure collecting.

How long will this line last? How expensive are they? Do I have the space to display this new line? We all have questions we ask ourselves when we decide whether or not to start collecting a new toy line we'd previously sworn not to do. So today, Scott and I share the thought process that we go through when deciding to start a new toy line.

On this episode of Across the Toyverse, Scott and I tackle the question, what is more important in figures: aesthetics or articulation, or a good balance of both?

So sit back, enjoy, and join us Across the Toyverse.
