Old Thread: >>5512206Kratos Kratos Kratos Kratos Kratos, Kratos, Kratos. Kraaaaatos.Holy shit seriously, Kratos. If you hate God of War and think Kratos is the worst character ever, because he is, holy shit this figure. Also a lot of other stuff, Aliens and Gremlins and Eggs, and Batmen oh my!Tamashii Talkin' shit, apparently. As if we don't get enough of that on this board, right? Also Kratos. Let him into your life. As always, please try to play nice.

Tried to replicate that xeno pic every fucking MySpace page had on it in, like, 2005. Didn't do too well.Anyway, fucking aces figure. Even better than the Isolation Xeno. This guy can actually stand up without using his tail.

>>5529777>You just sound like you're only judging the figure based on a picture on the internet. Like the people who say the figures aren't sharply defined because internet images of a glossy plastic figure in strong light is their proof.I own it, keep talking out of your ass though.>You're stupid. How am I stupid for not wanting to paint a figure I have on display? Or are you lacking in reading comprehension skills as usual.>You should use an ultra flat color instead. Or primer. Any medium color will do. It's why the prototypes always look so sharp, because they're made from matte materials.Funny how you just called me but proceeded to type up something that implies there's no matte black. The only black I have is matte, and that's what I was planning on using. I'm using black because it requires the smallest amount of coats to fully cover a piece, a primer requires several coats.>Says the guy who believed swirly metallic colored plastic and seams are mold issues.Where and when? I specifically mentioned indented swirls, which aren't color swirls, and I never said they were a mold quality issue. The mold quality issues I'm mentioning are consistent errors between releases, and because you're too blind to notice them yourself I'll point them out between the mk VI and IV I own.>LOL, such reaching.Here's what i said on the matterComment too long.

>>5529166> Hurrrr why you post in toy discussion forum a discussion about toys.
>>5529877>>5529869To the degree he's stating?>lightsaber is slightly bentCAN NEVER BUY>edge of mask warpedFOREVER RUINED>fingers warped from chinese kids putting object in hands wrongwaaaaah its horrrible!!!!That's autistic, because things like that can be fixed without any tools, just common things found in first world countries like a boiler to heat up indoor plumbing water.Whereas things i complain about? I'd have to buy tools and materials to fix poor sculpts and cheap print jobs.But again, that's the point, right? The point is that people are calling others autistic for expecting quality sculpts from their toys, even though it can be found in cheapo kids toys.Comment too long. Click here to view the full text.

do you guys feel like the pokemon mentality of gotta catch em all ever influenced you in any way to treat toys more as an achivement than a hobby you can enjoy like video games?
>>5529369there arent much to discuss about toys at this time. we got our Kirby nendos, our bowser jrs and waluigis. we could talk about the new amiibos, but thats more on /ttl/
Is 2007's greatest meme worth picking up? I noticed he doesn't have nipples, which is a bit problematic.
>>5529882ARE YOU SPARTA!!!
>>5529848I really wanted to army build them. but that price tag is fucking ridiculous. 1 is good enough. the other 299 died.
>>5529842>he doesn't have nipplesno belly button eitherto me it looks like they originally sculpted it to be musculata because they never saw the movie, and then just decided to paint it flesh tones instead of bronze
>>5529842>This is Sparta was 9 years ago
>>5529842This has 200% more nipples
Had this little monster arrive in the post today,Well chuffed with him, sooooo many joints and sliding bits.And most importantly, CLICKY JOINTS
>>5529555Is it listed officially? I hope the Felyne will be available too. I only want them.
>>5461574Damn I'm seriously tempted, largely because of how much it reminds me of this random concept-toy called AMBU from the guy who designed TF Classics Bumblebee.
>>5529816yeah them and Get Ride AMdriver are two lines I'd love to collect if I ever had the money and space to do so;http://www.geocities.co.jp/Playtown-Dice/4403/sonota/amudora/amudora.html
>>5529816>xebozfound the anon who cant stop crying about how vadly that failure of a toyline sold. you better start using actual relevant toylines such as mugenbine, busou shinki and legos
>>5529923What is that?>>5529648It looks like your laptop is a bootleg.
Anything related to Star Wars goes here, Japanese or western audience, old or new, custom or gaming piece, toy vehicle or action figure!
>>5529689Is it cause the proportions are completely fucked, and the articulation setup in the hips makes it look like they're disconnected from the body?
>>5529689Yeah it's the same as the FO trooper kit, looks good in some poses, odd in others
>>5529695Bingo.

>>5527565Im sorry anon, atleast you sound like a good person for trying to make your kids happy. You sound like a great father>>5527644Kek
I had no friends at school as a kid, my only friends were my toys, videogames and TV. Luckily my parents always got most of the toys and games I wanted and got to watch all the TV I wanted as well.As I became a teenager and developed social skills I grew out of all three of them but after High School I kind of fell back to depression and getting back to videogames and toys cheered me up while I was down and definitely helped. Even after I was out of depression I was still into it even if my interest waned but......now I'm about to get married and one of the sacrifices I'm having to make is getting rid of my collection since I don't have space for all this junk and while it has been a bit hard to get rid of some stuff I also feel a bit liberated. Once you realize she is the one I had no problem selling stuff. Of course I'll still keep some stuff, about full bookshelf worth of games/toys that I love but I just don't need rooms full of this stuff anymore.
>>5522004I was in a particularly dark phase in my life 3 years ago. Never felt suicidal, but I'm the kind of person who needs something to fill that void, ya know. My relationship with my girlfriend of 8 years went south, my job was fucking shitty, and I just overall felt like a complete failure. Spent a few months spending what little money I had on toys and still never really felt like the void was being filled.Actually clicked on /fit/ instead of /toy/ one night while drunk and after reading a few threads, decided to give a recently opened (cheap) gym a try.Been going for 3 years now. Best shape of my life, confidence out the ass, and working out/setting a daily schedule gives my life meaning.Maybe you could try going to the gym. Not sure what kind of shape you're in (I was pretty chunky...lost 45 lbs since then), but don't expect to be lifting anywhere close to bodybuilding standards. Set a goal and work towards it.Being /fit/ really helped me with self discipline, self confidence, and all that good stuff. Give it a try.
>>5527702well as long as it's your choice and not her making you do it, then it's fine to do so

>>5529854I should clarify that you apply the lacquer thinner to a cloth then wipe the pieces off with said cloth, not to let it soak in lacquer thinner, that'll just melt the fucking things.

Anyone know of any figures with varsity/letterman jackets?
>>5521803If I want to match the game's stylized look, I'd probably sculpt some of the masks. I'm sure there's some cartoony chicken figures out there to take the heads from, too.El Diablo looks good, but he's not coming out until next year, so I was hoping people knew of some alternatives with the same kind of jacket.
>>5521384>with varsity/letterman jackets
>>5521931Any in 1/12 scale?
>>5521470God why did these turn out so... Eugh?
>>5521384I would like to know this too

>>5528058Hobby Boss is just like Trumpeter, so expect poorly-research, hastily put out kits from a chinese manyfacturer. That said, some Trumpy / HB kits are alright, but their quality is lacking in comparison to other Chinese and Japanese manufacturers.
What's the best way of going about painting tanks with these types of tracks? Fit them to the road wheels and assembling them separately?I was doing a tank kit and I had assembled everything at once. Make it kind of hard to get in to paint some of the finer details.Does anyone have any tips?
How do you store parts and accessories for figures? I have a ton of figures and I keep a lot of my parts in zip lock bags, but I'd like to get some storage containers to more efficiently store and possibly transport them. Any advice?
I stick them in those little plastic boxes that come with Revoltechs, but I never have had to move with them. I would probably seal them in that then a plastic ziploc type bag around it and put that in a box with other stuff, I dunno.

>>5529561I call it "toothing," but there's probably an already existing name for it. Basically I create a cavity, and off the cavity I put in (alternating) angled recesses at an appropriate depth. Then, with a viscous epoxy (i.e. JB Weld), I fill the angled recesses and the cavity using a fine tipped tool and clamp it tight with dental rubber bands. Since viscous epoxy like JB Weld "moves" during its initial mix stage, it reduces pockets forming between contact areas and when cured has few flaw areas. It won't be perfect, but it will allow me to keep the old joint and it should withstand normal amounts of pressure. The hitch to all of this is whether or not POM will reject bonding to the epoxy, but that's where the "toothing" comes in and at least provides an internalized grip between surfaces.Worst case scenario, an already broken joint stays broken and I learn that I can just use "toothing" on normal plastic projects like before.
