We now have information regarding the Sonic Movie 3 line and the new LEGO sets if you're into those.https://nitter.poast.org/news_merch/status/1730381012427792852#mhttps://nitter.poast.org/news_merch/status/1785472641358274720#mHow do you feel about the movie figures, anon?I got a movie Sonic on clearance and didn't care for it at first but he has grown on me. I really like the design and the detail.
>>10991356>go to one store it's just a bunch of sonics>go to another store the 4in figures were replaced by the prime line
>>109771935" sonic movie sounds good. the 4" line from movie 2 had good articulation, and the 5" line for prime had some nice details. Hopefully they can improve the articulation for 5" and let the elbows and knees bend further for the movie toyline. Some people here really didn't like the prime line but I thought they're excellent, sonic and shadow especially. I hope the same will be the case for the movie toys
>>109924235" is too tall though. 4" was perfect because the characters were small. Also now im remembering how tall they were in Sonic X
>>10992491I think the 4" ones are ok but feel a bit small and limited in detail because of it. The 5" prime ones get the extra detail and articulation and just feel better in my hands. When I was a kid, I wanted toys about 5" tall, and now as an adult collector I still feel the same. I've always felt that the 4" line has a lot of wonkiness and I think their scale is the primary contributor to that. I think Sonic in particular is one of the wonkiest looking toys in that line too
>>10992423>>109924912.5" is, on average, the perfect size for most Sonic figs, especially since you've "4-inch" characters like Big, Vector, and Omega that look right with them, the playsets and accessories work with them.That said, if you prefer a 1/12 scale situation, 4-inch is the better option. 5-inch on its own doesn't really add anything, just an awkward size.
What's the best Buzz out there that isn't a rape price like the Medicom one?We've had some decent action figures like the Pixar collection or the Mirrorverse, but I don't think we've gotten a perfect 6" Buzz in his classic design yet. The closest is maybe the model kit or the revoltech.The current 12 inch disney store Buzz isn't as good as the signature collection but is otherwise acceptable.
>>10986987im terrified of yelowing the plastic doing that
>>10986992It's just a moment and you can use LED lights that barely emit UV crap.
Just get the revoltech one. It's the best one and for the love of god ignore the SHF shills.
>>10986987Ah, so it does. It's so faint that I never noticed, but better than nothing.
A buzz light year toy without a working “laser” or sound effects just seems pointless. The $30 Disney one is pretty good and nearly identical to the one I had 20 years ago. Though, for the life of me I can’t remember which exact one it was.
I recently had to repurchase the neca bootlegs to replace some weapons and noticed the huge drop in quality.I have a few questions if anyone can help.I heard that the people pumping these out actually got their hands on the original moulds, how did this happen?And I noticed the difference in the paint apps, can anyone tell me exactly how this process is done?Sorry about the low quality pic.
>>10980763seriously? did they work on the super7 tmnt line too?
>>10987497Why is your super expensive art print framed so shittily? Just cirious, whoever did it doesn't know what they're doing, like from a fundamental geomety standpoint
>>10993139Why are you so concerned about the geometric placing of a print?Are you autistic or on Adderall?
I've seen what can only be bootlegs of super7s on aliexpress, does anyone know if those are any good?
>>10974089Those figures are my Moby Dick. I wish NECA would reissue them one more time so I could cop, but it's looking like I'll have to drop almost 1k to buy these fuckers.
LGB Stainz Edition
>>10988159Steam is more common for British N. I do Z, imagine how hard it is to do steam in that gauge.
>>10993028I'm actually super surprised about that
>>10988080Makes sense anon. Any steam locos you'd want to see added to the catalogues?>>10988158>Southern PacificIt's still too soon ;_;>>10993028>>10993074Yeah there's far more steam options available for Britain in that scale. Graham Farish is a particular favourite brand of mine but there's lots of choice.
>>10993557To add to what he said, for Z, there is Märklin for steam, but that is almost entirely for German subjects. AZL has some too.
>>10985873O scale can easily be more of a toy than a model but it is also really easy to set up and take down and makes a good rug runner set.
Bo Peep is Woody's love interest in TS1 and 2. She's depicted as a porcelain doll. Despite this, she's seen to have a fabric dress and articulated arms.How the fuck is that supposed to work? She also has a layers of clothing as revealed in TS4. Who makes a porcelain doll into a night light?
>>10991056>Now Buzz on the other hand; there's no way he could have the folding pop out wings AND the karate chop action button on his back at the same time. Not to mention the karate chop arm is the same one with the light and sound wrist lazer.The Disney store one has the karate arm, wings and laser, but the karate arm needs to be locked upwards first and the back button just unlocks it so it makes the chopping motion, doesn't work with gears that move it up and down like in the movie.The main problem is the fully retractable helmet, that interferes with every other thing inside the body. Also accurate wingspan is absolutely impossible, as they cheat a lot with those in the animation.
>>10993953Can you go into more detail why? As someone who doesn’t really know about the internals of toys like that.
>>10993975It's literally just basic physical limitations; There simply isn't space for all those things to exist at the same time. The helmet has to go somewhere. The mechanics for the karate chop have to go somewhere. The wings and the mechanism that releases them have to go somewhere.It's not something that requires an engineering degree to figure out. Holy shit just stop to think for two fucking seconds you fucking retard.
The weird cerberus sheep always freaked me out of some reason. It/they look like they live in abject conjoined misery.
>>10993983Not only that but also the electronics, speaker, batteries and all the wires. Just too much crammed inside the body already.
Any exo squad figures fans?I absolutely love their engineering and designs. It's so much fun and I always liked when mechs had pilots inside that would hold on to something to control their mechs.The TV show is a well written show from the 90s that features serious themes like death, politics and even fascism.
>>10993330look at the little fish bulbs for his toes! come on!
>>10993330I vaguely remember owning oen that looked pretty much exactly like this one as a kid, except it was green with purple stripes and had a big pincer. My brother definitely had the big jet one from your previous pic, though.
>>10993352that sounds on-brand; they repainted them into the ground as the IP faded into obscurity
>>10993362After a bit of Google searching, I found it - this is most definitely the toy I had as a kid. I completely forgot it came with all this stuff, but seeing it now, I also remember it coming with a little clear green 'microchip' that you could plug into the suit's back. Don't remember what the little black things in the lower left corner were for, though.It's cool to see this nonetheless - I had completely memory-holed the series all these years.
Sucks that apperently Universal/Dreamworks owns the IP which means if it were to somehow get a reboot it would be nonstop fujoshit like the recent Voltron show.

>>10993347>People today are fed up with cape-shit and because the comicgaters live in the past they can't fathom a comic without cape-shit. I did some research with primary school / junior high kids at some point. The moment I mentioned "superpowers" most of them literally rolled their eyes. The moment I mentioned "female protagonist" they almost lynched us, both the boys and girls. Something like Kamen America is the antithesis of what the younger generations want.I want to say there was a poll recently stating young folks categorically do not want remakes of old properties. Stands to reason this would extend to comics.There are plenty of "superpowers" in manga, but the stories also tend to have actual stakes. There are no stakes in what passes for mainstream American comics.
>>10979268This is more expensive than a figma.>>10993347People love super powers. They hate capeshit due to oversaturation only. Comics don't sell because editorial oversight keeps the status quo to tightly. Oh you want to read xmen? Well you have to read 5 issues of this side story, and 10 issues of this seemingly unrelated title, oh and the story finished under the wolverine title. Then read issues 1-3 of the special summer gala, but not 4-6 since theres a time skip that spouls what happened in x-force 22. Also there's gonna be 10 different 'first issue'. Oh and most of the story gets retconned and reinterpreted 2 years later to completely change the outcomes.this Oh you want to read Demon Slayer? Read volumes 1-25.
>>10993560I was talking about Western Comics specifically. Read my first post:>>10992906>Comics (Western comics) is a dying mediumI also mention manga here: >>10993347>>10993578100%Because comic book creators live in the past for them superpowers always equals capeshit. Harry Potter has superpowers, it is not capeshit, and at some point it was more popular than all the capeshit put together.The kids I talked to weren't against superpowers but they didn't want the powers to be the main focus of the story. They were ok with lowkey powers like "talking to animals", "animal tamer", or "his best friend is a tiger", stuff like that.>>10993879>Comics don't sell because editorial oversight keeps the status quo to tightly.This falls under point 2)Comment too long.

>>10993879Literally just read creator-owned titles
>>10993879Demon Slayer is trash
Pic very related
>>10984749I used to do that. Instead of buying Warhammer 401(k) figures for $12 each I'd buy dollar store army men and paint them into armies.
>>10974576Just saw these at a store I went to!!!FACT!!!
>>10988039Why are you in every thread?
>>10979699Shit sucked anon. People want the actual robot masters and Mega Man characters, not Man of Action's OC's.
RUBIK'S BROS, WE MADE IT
i both love it and hate it, which is why i preordered it
Jolly fellow
>>10986936Is this guy's face supposed to look like something?
Damn, this would be perfect for the mrs. Maybe i can find a pre order since you say its sold out.
>>10993924it’s still available at amiami, the link the one anon posted
>filled the bath with warm water and pleasant foam>sat down with candles in a cozy atmosphere>playing with top tier shark toy>tfw i'm 36HOLY SHIT BATTUB BROS WE CAN'T STOP WINNING!tell your batthub stories. Did you have any batthub fun lately?What is your favorite bath tub toy? Have any recommendations?What is better and more fun? Ships and boats or sea monsters?
>>10978372Sometimes I'll grab Mer-Man but I don't really play with him. Baths are either for fucking my wife or just relaxing after sex.
Please tell me nobody is actually bathing with their toys here.
>>10984750I sleep with my toys for first two or three days after i open the box.
>>10987894What toyline is this from? Gives 70s vibes.

>>10995173>if they are targeting artsy afols with designer furniture why did they replace architecture with tourist crap?Because they're not targeting artsy afols with designer furniture.They're targeting people who want to be artsy afols with designer furniture.These people think that type of stuff and style is hip and cool and what to emulate it. However they're idiots and things like a artistically designed houses don't really appeal to them, so instead they're drawn to stuff like well know landmarks and pop culture icons.
>>10996180https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=IOhabIuDdXg>we always meant to have imperial walkers in the background. I understand you’re too young to remember when they updated the old versions and you’ve probably never even seen return of the Jedi where they didn’t cover David Prowse with Hayden Christianson. It’s okay to be young and stupid.
>>10996393>cover David Prowse with Hayden ChristiansonNever happened mate.They replaced force ghost SEBASTIAN SHAW with Hayden Christianson.
>>10996440Come on dude I’m trying to bait the guy in a dead thread don’t be a buzzkill.
>>10996393I loved the part where they had chimp eyed palpatine, that was pretty good
>In-universe toy made of rubber-plastic mix>Give her a plushy
>>10992954>>10992961easier to adapt fer for an onahole, what are you complaining about?
>>10993140Yes and noThere's more real and solid stuff like Amnesia: The Bunker or Iron Lung or Mundaun or Signalis or other upcoming games like Retrospace are "real" horror games, what you're mentioning are all "pop" horror games ala FNAF which are basically catered towards a very different type of audience usually looking for jumpscares or so forth rather than someone actually looking for a genuinely frightening or unsettling game. Twitter is full of real horror indies which often are ignored or don't get a lot of coverage.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5V3Si-MbUao

>>10995613>other things in the same rough size as a shuttleSpace station, Asteroids, UFOs?
>>10996071>lol, no. A kid today would be bored to death by G1.My nephew is 6 and he loves Transformers. He came over my house and saw the original G1 show on my Plex server so he asked to watch it. We didn't make it through a single episode before he lost interest.Retarded manchild toy collectors are already out of touch with their own generation, never mind younger ones. Unsurprisingly, "OLD THING GOOD" doesn't actually hold up in practice.
>>10996071>>10996489Maybe your nephew is just a stupid retarded kid with your stupid genetic stock. Don't blame G1 because your kids are stupid retards with autism.
>>10996489Transformers was never meant for 6 year olds, it's for slightly older children
>>10995799Always loved how gruesome Dinobot's transformation looked - he always looked like he was tearing his own ribcage open, which matched up with how his toy had exposed ribs (from his robot legs) there.
Noob here, gonna give selling on Ebay a go, i have a full set of 5 figures that are packaged in the style of those retro star wars figures. I know i'll get more money for the full set of 5 but i feel like packaging them/shipping them is gonna cause some issues. Do i bite the bullet and box all 5 up in a big box or stay safe and sell them separately?
>>10974388Why not try the bst here? You will have to pay taxes if you make too much on ebay.
>>10990070like I'd trust anyone from here
>>10990002>21 watchers>100 viewsi mean you would think it would sell at that point
>>10990927it probably will eventually but that could be years
>>10974388Just sold something for $145 and it has me a bit paranoid since its my first time selling sonething above $50. If somebody does a return claim and sends me the wrong item what are my options?
How does toy feel about sofubi
>>10987275Bandai MMS vinyl is nothing to sneeze at. Lots of great sculpts there. Low price does not automatically equal bad.
Sofubi falls into two categories and two categories only:Toys you don't like at all but are availableToys you do like but are impossible to getAnd for that reason, I'm out
>>10991620This is kind of by design thoughAlmost all sofubi has such a tiny market, it's all super niche stuff or experimental toys by artists. For a lot of them you'd be hard pressed to find 100 people interested in buying. So yeah, they make them in batches of 10 or whatever to sell to whom they can. Lots of people that dip their toes into sofubi making never make more than their initial 1 or 2 figures because they literally can't sell them, even a few dozen of them, to recoup their costs and make it worthwhile to make more. It does mean that when someone comes out with something awesome that demand is going to outpace supply. The guys that choose to hypebeast instead of scaling up their operation accordingly can be frustrating, but I'd say only a very small handful of sofubi makers are truly unattainable, and of those only a small amount are actually making cool toys.
>>10986768Also worth noting the actual process of making them is EXTREMELY technical, time consuming, expensive and has to be done by hand. It involves some black magic with making a mold by electroplating a master sculpt, various dips in hot chemical baths (with the chemical formula being a closely-guarded secret) and then meticulously painting everything with special paint. It's not like they're just making a silicone mold and pouring resin (which itself is an expensive process)- sofubi production is an art form.
>>10992400There is a good documentary about this on youtube. Very cool shit.
