I was thinking about this earlier, but I wanted to know what nationality is your main focus for international collecting, as in if it came down to you only sticking with one countries joes, which would it be?
I personally like it all, but the mexican joes are my personal favorite, although my current focus would be the brazilian comandos em acao line, so I'd go with that. So, what about you?

I have some from china and quite a few funskool from India in my collection.
I would really like to get some of the Action Force from England that were never released in America.

I like aspects of them all. I was on an Action Force kick last year, but the line's too small to keep my attention. Now, my favorite is probably Argentina. The figs aren't hard to find, the line is fairly small, are relatively cheap and are a great mix of slightly different variants and full blown exclusives. Plus, the molds are almost exclusively '85 and earlier so they hit right at the heart of my childhood collection.
I still like a lot of the Brazilian figs, too, for the same reasons. But, I like the more compact nature of the Plastirama offerings as it more closely mirrors the figs I had in my childhood collection.

My main international focus is foreign figures that never had an American release, such as abutre Negro and escorpiao voador. I voted Brazil in the poll because I am currently looking for a kangor and letal figure. But after I get those two, my focus will shift to the UK and the Red Shadows. I currently have Baron Ironblood, de aco, invasor, Urzor, corrosao, poluicao, Satan, ninja ku, mutron, as well as many repaints of domestic figures released by funskool, plastirama, and estrela.

Takara. The packaging is second to none.
Loose, I think Plastirama has my money...

I vote on the AF stuff, and all the euro-exclusives, but I must add that the more I learn from the other lines, the more I love them.
