Trees’ Collectibles Pt.11 (for Rob)

September 4th, 2009 by Trees

 

Hello again! I’m back with another Trees’ Collectible and I have to say this one’s for you Rob! I’ve heard you mention a few times now how the one collectible you wish you had picked up was Bioshock’s Big Daddy collectible so…..here you go!

Big Daddy
“help…my piss bag is ful!”

So I acquired this little guy when I purchased the over-hyped and hugely underwhelming disappointment that was the Bioshock Limited Edition. Remember what was promised in that thing? Let me refresh your memory:

Bioshock LE

Looks kick-ass doesn’t it?! So you can pretty much imagine my reaction when I got home and opened my Limited Edition box to find a regular 360 jewel case with the game and a music CD with 3 shitty “remixed by Moby” songs on it. Oh, and that Big Daddy figure was duct-taped to the back or something. Either way I was mad. Besides the bait and switch scam though, the Big Daddy figure itself is a very cool collectible.

The Big Daddy figure (man-doll) is a pretty solid and well made. Not sure what he’s made out of, feels like metal or concrete or something. You could definitely kill a small animal with it. It’s about 5 inches tall and weighs in just a little over a pound. Overall one of my newer favorite collectibles!

So that’s it for me. It was fun to write another one of these up. Maybe since I’ve gone through some of my older stuff it’s time to start buying some brand new collectibles. Wonder how much a Final Fantasy Wonder Swan Crystal would cost me on eBay? Hmmm…I need to look in to that. Latah!

    Thanks Trees.

    If you are running low on items to feature how about inviting forum members to show off their collectibles?

    Really?! Yeah we got boned over here. It seriously was just a box with the Big Daddy in it and the regular 360 jewel cased game with a crappy music CD.

    Damn I wouldve been pissed! How much was the LE? Did they ever give an answer as to why they screwed us (well, you) over?
