Sideshow Featured Collector Angel Almonte

Location: Spring City, PA

I started collecting about 17 years ago with McFarlane figures. I happened to notice the X-Files Fight the Future figures while in Gamestop, and it was an instant hobby. I was amazed at the details and accuracy, and how they brought back memories of movies, games, and anime I enjoyed.

I originally focused on 6 inch figures by McFarlane and American McGee until I received a 1/6 scale Joker from my loving wife as a Christmas gift in 2009. I wasn’t aware of the high detail in larger figures and more articulation, giving me the ability to do better poses.

I’ve been a Batman fan from such a young age and jump at the chance at any quality figures. I like to collect figures from movies I loved seeing and gave me the feeling of bringing me back to being a child. Aside from my main Batman display, I like Star Wars, DC Comics, Marvel, pretty much anything that catches my eye.

His favorites

It’s hard to name a favorite, but I do love my Sideshow Darth Vader, and my Batman display table as my center piece.

His wishlist

As soon as I can I am adding Sideshow’s 1/6th Deadpool to my collection and the Red Son Batman Premium Format Figure.
