I’ve currently been using nicer bookshelves I received for free, but I feel like they’re not the best for figures. I’m curious what other anons use for their displays.>detolfsI know, but don’t they not sell them anymore?
>>10951359I mean, I do have some displays like this, once you get 'too many' figures, you don't really have a lot of choice unless you have a home THAT big or with that much space. When I lived in San Francisco, I had a huge ass railroad flat and only one roommate and I brought my old Lionel train and literally had it on the crown molding that went up along the walls. Sadly, while I was away at school, my mom had moved things around in the old metal storage shed my dad had constructed in the back yard, and even though it had a proper cement slab, she allowed the boxes these were stored in to get wet and I could get the train set to 'go/turn on' any more. But they looked cool once I cleaned them up and removed the rust.That double parlor (essentially two big rooms with those sliding doors in between that you see on some of those period piece TV shows) would have made a great collectible room. It had a built in 'China Closet' that ran from floor to ceiling, so there would have been storage below, an open area, plus built-in shelves behind glass in at least two rows (sometimes three, depending on the size of the Victorian ceilings which could sometimes be 14 feet) for display.I would love to live in someplace like that today, even if I didn't have way too many toys!
>>10951359Wow great poses...
>>10950498the original limited edition statue collection enjoyers
>>10951359what about building the shelf was hard? I see a lot of reviews saying you need 2 people to build but is it possible for just 1?
>>10965293The instructions weren't very clear at points and they cheaped out on some of the less important materials which made it more time consuming than it would've been to build two detolfs. The finished product was worth the hassle, but I definitely wouldn't recommend building it alone, mainly for securing the two back glass pieces together. Maybe you could brace it against the wall, though, if you can get anyone else to help you, better to do that rather than risk something breaking.

So just found out the MMS Yomiuri Giants Godzilla 1954 isn't even going to be out until August lol.

Mafex Tobey looks good but let's be honest, the SHF is good, this didn't need to be Medicom's first NWH Spidey.When is Mafex tackling the MUCH needed NWH final swing suit? Neither the Legends nor the SHF are satisfactory.
>>10965631Medicom hasn't even shown a painted version of the other suit he wears in that movie so it's going to be a while
>>10965631Right when he gets a new suit for Spiderman 4 lol
>>10961460They both look bad but shit I didn't realize how much worse the Mafex looked until seeing them side-by-side. Why do both companies insist on using those retarded shoulders? Bandai's crotch design is also ugly as shit.

>>10962530Academy kit is okay besides the fact that fujimi would be about the same price (assuming competent distribution channels) if it was still in print today. The fujimi kit blasts the academy kit out of the water in regards to surface detail. Academy kit is missing alot of rivets and panel lines.Its the only F-22 kit on the market that gets the RAM surface mostly correct. Ilovekit+Hasegawa 1/48 kits overexaggerates the RAM surface while fujimi is much more flat. Plus you can the engine out of display.
>>10965323I agree, but then I never like these, imo, OTT scales. The whole point is that it is scaled down. I honestly unironically think a 1:1200 diorama showcasing the yamato leaving port on its maiden voyage would look better than these mega scales. I find the only exceptions to this are museum pieces, but then they have entire teams working on those as their job, and the models often include cutaways and crossections.
>>10959730Daaamn son, did you align the sticker with a hypodermic needle?
Haven't built shit in over a week. I just get home from work, crash out, sleep like four hours, wake up, play an hour of Helldivers 2, doomscroll another then battle insomnia till 4AM, then start again.

I recently found and bought a Summer Ibuki Douji Madhands Figure but my experience with resin figures is practically nothing. Can anyone give out some resources for these types of garage kits like where to buy joints,paints, etc or even stls of these joints. I'm just worried about messing up the figure.
>>10966100Madhands mentions in the instructions what type of joints you should use, mostly hobbybase ones you can purchase off of sites like HLJ or Hobbystock. You'll also need supplies like Pinvises in order to drill holes for the joints that can also be bought on the aforementioned sites.As for other things, you'll probably need to pick up some putty in case of airbubbles, which I recommend picking up Gaia notes instaputty for that.You'll need sanding tools as well because there will be mold lines you'll want to sand off, along with at least some sort of mask so you don't breath in resin dust. I use the 2mm Godhand sanding sponges of varying degress of grit myself.As for paints, you can pick up any hobby grade paints like Tamiya, Mr Hobby or Gaia Notes for that. You'll probably have to learn how to use an airbrush though for the painting. As well as paints, I HIGHLY recommend getting gloss clear coat to spray over the waterslide decals for the eyes, otherwise trying to apply them to the faces will be near impossible.Finally, take the instructions that came with the kit, and if you can, either scan or take photos of them and upload them to google translate to translate them for you, that helps a lot.Sorry for the word spew, but it is a complicated process, and I hope I was able to help a little bit.

>>10965758Because people buy Diamond Select toys that are 7", not 6"Go see the Warhammer thread right now where they've been crying that they're actually making their figures 1:18 instead of 1:21.People bitched a ton about how McFarlane switched the Halo scale from 1:16 to 1:15 and that was about 1/4/th of an inch difference.It's bad business to switch scales in the middle of a toyline.Also, what current McFarlane line is 6"? I thought they gave that up after 2020.

Bandai is hinting at a Tamagotchi Connection rereleasehttps://twitter.com/TMGC_net/status/1783677376741638325They're referencing a western Connection V3 commercial, but promoting it in Japan, so the device is potentially an amalgamation of the whole connection/plus era rather than a 1:1 rerelease like what they did for the P1/P2.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1wMB99LrW5Q

Anybody order the LWO pack? I’m thinking about selling the Rey and Zelina when it comes in
>>10964103Becky i got for $2 a few years back, its actually just teela/evil lyn aka any female but chyna. I saw rocky johnson in a 3 pack box set, a cody, and a ultimate roddy. The aew figures still contain a bunch of released guys and a nyla rose. And even with a reset the same old faithful superstars hang on. Which is kinda funny now when i look back at how excited i was to find papa shango way back on release.
>>10961733I had alot of the Hasbro (1990-1994) figures growing up but it's crazy to look at a checklist and see how many I missed. Distribution got really bad right around the wave with Rick Martel in his pink shorts (when he was "The Model"). The line basically dropped off a cliff. Ocasionally I'd see Kamala but that was about it so I moved on. One figure I was always mad I never found was the Mountie. I thought it was hilarious how he'd zap his opponents with that cattle prod.
I use ebay a lot for my gunpla and Star Wars collection. I notice some new type of retard scam. You order something but the retard seller never send it. He even gives you a tracking number that never moves. What you lose is time by wasting weeks to get a refund from ebay. Some people just want to see the world burn.
>>10965041Well then, that's definitely the seller being a retard in that instance.
>>10963984What I have seen lately is they just give you a tracking number that is legit in your general area from their local carrier that was signed for.Ebay's system will close out your complaint as delivered. You then need to reopen and hope you get someone there at Ebay with more than 5 brain cells and bit of comprehension.seller - Signed for and delivered you ahve itme - wasn't delivered to meseller - Is signed for go pick it up thank you.Ebay - Was signed for issue is closed.Someone at the USPS was nice and told me the street it was 'delivered' to.

>>10963984>selling figure on eBay>reasonable price, not suspiciously cheap but still beating out competition>no activity for weeks>look at sold listings to see if I priced wrong>people buying listings that are more expensive than mine as recently as a few days agoWhat the fuck? This isn't some super expensive figure that people would go out of their way to manipulate the market, and mine isn't priced so cheap that people would be scared it's a bootleg. I have a perfect seller rating and I use all the same keywords and data as the people selling.What the fuck am I doing wrong?
>>10966174You're not Chinese. eBay has prioritized Chinese listings for over a decade. What's worse, fees there are a fraction of what we pay here, so they're fucking US sellers basically just to fuck them.
>>10966188Nope. These are US sellers just like me.

>>10964968I hear 1 to 1.2 eye-lengths is good spacing for the eyes.
>>10965911What?>>10965979Use actual varnish then. Or you painted without primer?
>>10965979Assuming you're priming your kits before painting and using a strong topcoat then this usually isn't a problem. What are you topcoating with? The typical lacquer topcoats (Gaia, Mr. Hobby), or specialty stuff like Alclad Aqua Gloss should be your go-to's
>>10966081Primed with Mr Hobby surfacer 1500, then topcoated with Mr Hobby's UV Cut topcoat.I did hear in one of these threads that Mr Hobby's surfacer wasn't that good as a primer though, so that might be it?
>>10966102Nah, their surfacer is jim-dandy in general for our purposes, especially on surfaces that aren't seeing a lot or any friction so long assuming you've layered it thick enough and thinned it appropriately. For the paint itself and the topcoat the only issues I can see with them is not thinning enough (and thus not biting into what's below them well). The topcoat might also need to be layered more depending on how thick you put it on previously. I'd definitely recommend checking these specifics out on some good ol' plastic spoons.
