Topic: Gaming Tat (...Return of the Tat!)

Since the Spider-Man Collectors Edition is up for pre-order in some places and features some pretty standard tat like, DLC, Artbook, in game costume items and a statue that will never look as nice as it should, I wanted to start a new thread!

What's your favourite or most anticipated gaming related tat (or highly valuable merchandise, depending on your point of view)?

I'm not really all that in to the buying of special and limited editions of games these days and I generally hold a fairly curmudgeonly attitude towards most of the ridiculously priced games that come with stuff as I've just seen far too many 'tat in a box' so called special editions for ridiculous money.

I have partaken in the (even fairly recent) past though, and still have a couple of bits of game tat that I quite like.

The Infamous: Second Son special edition was pretty cool, and I use the hat and game case jacket even now.
I also still have the Temple of Osiris tat, the little Lara figure is nice.

As for future gaming tat, I'm quite looking forward to getting a Feisar Totaku - possibly tomorrow!

@Kidfried I only have a Superman s/ tattoo! I had intended to get a Ikaruga thing and a Talisman (Games Workshop) but never committed.

I like stuff, but not usually at gaming special edition prices unless it's really, really nice.
I got the Bloodborne one, which was actually lovely stuff, but sold it for an offer I couldn't pass up!

I have a stress ball that's in the shape of a brick from The Last of Us. I'm not even kidding.

I have an absurd amount of gaming tat. Mainly Final Fantasy related but some other stuff too. I've got a lot of action figures including but not limited to: multiple different versions of Cloud, Tifa, Sephiroth, and Vincent, and then the rest of the standard FFVII figures, every single FFVIII action figure including Guardian Forces, the entire cast of FFIX (the ones that were released, anyway), Rikku, Yuna, Paine, Judge Gabranth, a plush Vivi, Cactuar, and Moogle. I've got a set of Tetra Master cards from IX, every single character from X as a keyring, a replica of Squall's pendant from VIII, numerous strategy guides and art books from VII, VIII, and IX, including some in Japanese that I can't even read.

It's all in a box collecting dust.

I also have some Persona art books which I really like.

Yeah I thought this was about Gaming Tatoos too 😂!

I don’t own too many gaming related items.
I have a framed Uncharted 4 poster (~120cm in height), Kingdom Hearts Collectors pins, Disgaea 5 sound track, but my prized possession has to be my Persona 5 Steelbook.

I’ll be purchasing my first collectors edition later in the month as I’ve preordered the Yakuza 6 After Hours Premium Edition- which I’m very excited for! Not in the least because I broke my ‘drinking’ glasses a few weeks ago.
I think if more ‘gaming tat’ had an actual function/use I’d buy more .

@RogerRoger My desk junk consists of a little light up Enterprise I got from Waterstones - which is far nicer a thing than it has any right to be at £8!

I remember the Arkham Knight debacle - it was rather a shame as I had a couple of friends who'd ordered it. Though after the [insert correct Arkham game name here] crappy resin batarang should've put them off that.

@Kidfried As for music stuff. I do have the P4 Dancing All Night Disco Fever Edition with the soundtrack. And the Shantae Half Genie Hero Risky Beats Edition - though they were purchased more for the Vita physical copy than the stuff. And for the good cause of the Axiom Verge Multiverse Edition

@get2sammyb at least it's useful tat!

@johncalmc Haven't really seen much FF7 tat. My mate had a few of the Advent Children figures and Cloud's bike though. That was pretty nice.

@Fight_Teza_Fight Yeah, the Bloodborne writers set had me with visions of writing Byron-esque poetry with a quill in blood-red ink...

Wait.... Is that Flashback Anniversary Edition ONLY on Switch?

Tat denial sad face...

@KALofKRYPTON There's quite a bit. They released a series of action figures alongside FFVII - from memory, all the party members - and then later they released bigger, more intricate versions of Cloud, Tifa, Vincent, and Sephiroth alongside Advent Children. There were also smaller versions of the main cast that were some sort of Coca Cola promotion, and a bunch of other rubbish. Long story short; I have a lot of it.

@RogerRoger Nice. I'd like to bring the TOS Bluetooth Communicator to work to get more use out of it - but there's no chance in hell I'd take it or anything else of actual (commercial or sentimental) value there.
The little enterprise is by Running Press. As I say, for the price it's a decent little thing. They do a Galileo too that looks alright.
They're releasing a Next Gen Tricorder soon. I might get that.

As for game tat... I still have the Heavy Rain origami and a few shmup gashapon...

most of mine is FF related (shocker!) although i have a few others like the Lord of the Rings War in the North collectors edition, you know the one with the big Troll Statue

OH and i don't think this counts but i have a limited edition Dragon Ball Z PS2 controller and a few Amiibos

I only have a few things like that cause honestly I don't care for that stuff. Don't gete wrong some of it's nice but honestly it's just more stuff that just collects dust in the end. With that said I do have a few things.

A Street Fighter X Tekken Mini Arcade Bank — Got it from pre-ordering Street Fighter X Tekken it's pretty nice and solid it's probably the only thing I have like that that I use since it holds my loose change.

A mini Winston figure — Got that from pre-ordering Overwatch

WoW: Cataclysm, and Mist of Pandaria Collectors Editions. Got them mainly for the art books because well to be honest I though they looked cool. Also got it for the in game goodies which IIRC were mounts and pets.

I almost forgot my actual favourite gaming tat...

@RogerRoger I got the WipEout steelbook too - for some reason I just assumed that the game would be in it...

I have a Mr Drippy plushie from Ni No Kuni and I've donned him with a velcro N7 fabric patch from Mass Effect so he's now Commander Drippy. I've also have Oliver's spellbook from NNK which is really well made and still has that new book smell.

@ApostateMage you made Drippy in to Windsor Davies! Good work!

So - of the first wave of Totaku, the Feisar ship, Crash and Evan are already out of stock on GAME's website.

All were in stock this morning. May actually grab one on my way home after all...

I picked up a Feisar FX350 Totaku.

Nice little thing. I can see these being pretty popular - I certainly wouldn't mind an AG Systems and/or Quirex version too.

My local GAME had all of the first wave in stock, though only 3 of Crash.

As I expected, they're not up to Amiibo or Disney Infinity quality; Paint applications look decent enough but there's a fair amount of inconsistency. I would think that the WipEout ship suffers most here due to the logo heavy design. I looked at the half dozen or so in stock as best I could and picked the best example.

Glad I didn't buy online and got to look at them.

Anyway, here are some quick shots in package and for scale.

@KALofKRYPTON Ha! I used to buzz off him.

I don't have a ton of gaming tat. I've never owned any collector's editions of games, primarily because they're usually out of my price range, and I'm usually too poor for the ones for games I actually want. I have some assorted gaming merch, but not a ton.

There's some gaming shirts, a Mario shirt from Merchoid, a shirt with the PlayStation buttons running down the side from PlayStation Gear, a black V-neck with Captain Quark's logo from Redbubble, and a Sonic themed shirt from Insert Coin. Also from Insert Coin is an airliner bag designed like the original PlayStation (Probably my favorite). I also own a Keyblade keychain which is hanging on said bag, a full replica Keyblade, and a funko pop figure of Nina Williams from Tekken.

I'd like to expand my collection at some point. Hard to do that when I'm living in a dingy apartment, though.
