Has anyone else heard of these guys?The same media company that makes The Toys That Made Us for Netflix has bought up a bunch of obscure toylines from the 80's and is trying to pass them off as a new interconnected universe for future comics/shows/movies. They're using shitty forgotten franchises like Biker Mice from Mars or Robo-Force and have also been producing new figures for them. It all seems like a giant scheme to get in on an already dead trend but I kinda like the absurdity of it.
>>10957446>5poaAbsolute retard
>>10957490What? They ARE 5poa. They're also shorter than the nacelle toys, which is another bad thing about them
>>10957496they arent 5poa. they're more like 8 to 10 poa. each robot had that hugging/grasping gimmick aswell as articulated heads and waists. >>10957415the manglors were worth it
>>10957503Why are you ban evading?

Bijou is adorable
Hamtaro had some top tier toys, I’m happy to have collected a few
>>10961799I wish she had got a nendo.
>>10961810Sad that I know what this is referencing.
>>10962098I make sure to pester Good Smile for a Bijou Nendoroid every now and again
Genuinely looking for some insight into why some collectors are like this. No hate towards in box collectors, but what’s the point? Is it because you potentially wanna sell them down the line? If so, that money could be invested in stocks or crypto and make you way more money and not take up space. You might as well just have a picture of the figure in your house, because that’s all it really is. Curious if there’s any here and if they could try to explain why. I can slightly understand exclusives or repacks where the whole point is the packaging but even then I’m not completely sure.At the end of the day, it’s your toys and you’re welcome to do whatever you want with them obviously but I just want to understand why. Also don’t attack any inbox collectors in the comments.
>>10956961I don't think zoomers and aoomers are the ones buying these action figures.
You don't understand, one day my power of the force collection will be worth millions!
>>10959534Plenty of modern toys go up in value, I could name you 3 or more that I’ve bought in the past year that are already worth more than twice what they initially sold for. I’ve seen it happen with Mcfarlanes, TBS, marvel legends, I could go on. Is it going to happen to every toy? Not even close, but a healthy knowledge of which characters are truly popular but don’t get a lot of toys makes it pretty easy to guess.
>>10961816Exception, not the rule. But I hope the values go up for you. It never worked for me. Not even once.
>>10951833A concerning number of those faggots buy multiplea of things and impact even the primary market, to say nothing of playing havok with things for folks who end up having to go secondary market for things for whatever reason. Hogging the stock is a faggot move to stay with, and it's worse when they're not even going to enjoy the things they buy, just hoard them 'till they end up a FWIW in one of those "this hoarder for killed when their heaps of stuff fell on them" shows
look at this fucking deformity, it's like they wanted to copy Mafex in the worst possible way, her chest looks like a teenage boy's chest, long arms, feminist nerd face with the teeth gap and everything, what the fuck this one looks like a Toy Biz
>>10960501Why are adults not protected from chemicals by societal regulations?

>>10961952This man.

HON3z edition
Where can I buy British models in the U.S? Is importing the only option?
>>10960611What scale? I see Graham Farish N scale engines on ebay all the time, and half of those are coming from US sellers.
>>10961001OO. Hornby and Dapol, as well as older Wren and Airfix, specifically. Bachmann is fine too. I like GWR, LM&R and Tal-y-Llyn for narrow gauge.>Captcha: GW4R
>>10953477If you do, make sure you show the progress in the thread anon! Lights can make a huge difference to a display piece. I'm no expert, but the items in the pic look very nice indeed.>>10953174I would say it mainly depends on what locos and rollingstock you are likely to run underneath. In my experience, the easiest way to do it is to measure trackside at the clearance you are planning and run some trains through it. It's better to have too much clearance than not enough!>>10955631I would suspect that it's the demographic that view model trains as simple collectibles to resell for a profit. Obviously, people are entitled to do what they want with the products they buy, but engaging in behaviour like you describe anon is hardly helping an already struggling hobby.Have any anons here built reasonably small shunting layouts? I don't have the space for a permanent layout right now and so am debating building a simple Inglenook-based layout in 00 scale. I've only ever previously built much larger layouts and so am wondering whether I'll get bored.
>>10953034Well, I more or less want a Ruston to turn it into the South Simcoe Railways #10. Planet Industrials was the one to make one, but its discontinued and Hornby's is the 6-wheel variant.

>>10961081Nah. UK. Sucks to find them here, even with online retailers.
I heard that they're using a new factory now.
>>10961667Ahh. Its like that here in canada especially edmonton. But for the rest of you guys whats happening here. Ive had fei long for less than a day and the "paint" or something is peeling off the flame effect. Just got up and came into my office, and looked and ita all ghey and stuff.
>>10961882Mine was like that when I opened it. Paint on such rubber probably isn't ideal.

>>10954438I picked up the blue and green cars. Jesus Christ they are garbage won’t be getting those again for parts or else wise. I hope you’re doing okay anon.
>>10961819That's funny, I literally just uploaded a build of the black car. It wasn't my favorite build, but it was the first one I got without a single faulty brick. Well, scratch that, only 1 faulty brick. But still best QC I've gotten from their sets. This set had a few parts I've been looking for including two silver binoculars and silver flat tiles and those Droid arm clip pieces in black. I'm hoping the red car will yield as many useful parts. I scoped some translucent orange for headlights and am excited for those wedge pieces. https://youtu.be/et-v2UtU8No?si=XjJ8ynUHFI0wLsio
>>10962357I was wrong i got the red and green and the green was garbage but the red I was surprised by and went together great…. Qc is definitely an issue but I’m still impressed and appreciate the find and you anon looks like the garbage is firing back up time to flood the moc thread with mocs and start again. I’ll watch that video soon I enjoy your videos and am glad you’re doing well. Keep up the good fight!
>>10951143I like how it uses the Mega Bloks Pyrates symbol.
>>10962357I hope you get that yard work done and enjoy the folks! I’m gonna go out later and see what’s worth seeing with the fake legos. I can’t stand all the infighting lol and buying fake legos sticks it to everyone! I’m nothing if not a contrarian but I like your vibe and wish you success and happiness in honesty.
I wanted to start a thread to talk about historical figures or similarly themed figurines.Freeing has published the table museum collection as well these neat iron maiden figurines, and i want more of this.Figures based on famous historical objects are something i wish more companies would do
>>109612765.78"/147mm or so. Officially non-scale.
>>10959886I liked how he was different from the knight on foot with slightly altered armor, big pointy sollerets, and long horse riding spurs. The horse itself was also pretty cool. Wish they'd redo them at a slightly altered scale or make different European armors at least.
>>10959565These look cool. Is there a historical basis for the ark of the covenant looking like that or has Indiana Jones just cemented that look for it.
>>10961304Mummy thicc.
>>10961736I mean, there’s chapter(s) in exodus that goes over every finite detail of the arc and the tent it was housed in
Would you let Anthony unbox and preview you?

>mods deleted the Scott thread because the retrospammers were schizoing out about their boyfriend again.Lol, lmao even. I find it funny they waited until the thread was detailed by discord drama
>>10961689I mean the thread still reached bump limit before the mods finally deleted it. Funny how it gets deleted around the time that Junkman makes a video about that thread and buys an ad on here.
>>10961786Lmao, Junkman read my comment calling him a retard.
How is AliExpress?
>>10958344Like EbayDepends entirely on the seller
>>10959647Mr Stark I don't feel so good.
>>10958344Very handy especially if youre living pacific side (Australian here) cause shipping is free. You can find all sorts of discontinued old gacha, surplus and genuine American figures like black series, surprisingly decent bootlegs (except for figmas, all figma bootlegs are fucking shit) and their own products are getting better and better each year.Their non Lego brands are better priced and offer more variety than Lego ever will and their anime action figures are basically import quality now. Aliexpress is often the best place to get either.
>>10960563
>>10960464>I'm not even confident these were KO because I think they were factory rejectsyeah despite what others say alot of the time these more obscure figures are just rejects (resaurus comes to mind despite what people say there was never bootlegs of wave 2 of their adventure line)happy to answer : ) have a good one anon
Found these awesome accessory packs. They look so fucking cool but i live in europe.Anybody got these? i used to buy Neca stuff just for accessories but these packs have literally ALL i need.and their boxes are accesories on their own like Coffin or Arcade Cabinet
Lame Can of Beams ripoff with lower quality
>>10960942Yeah, they seem pretty cool. Robo reviewed both of the arcade cabinet ones if you want a closer look. https://youtu.be/mNAnu0Nd51Y?feature=shared

>>10961023>Can of BeamsWay too expensive.
>>10961028Robo Don' Know? :O
They're making Jenny toys
>>10954211>>10958137god, is it fucking necessary for all youtooz to have those awful ^^ eye things? no wonder people hate these things
>>10954211>>10954237Only thing I remember about Jenny is when she got fucked by those rock beasts and that it made me horny. I'm now going to coom my brains out. The end
>>10955007You must be 18 to post hear, assuming that earliest memories kick in at three years old and Nicktoons was airing DBZ 2008 to the mid 2010s, you are no older than 16 years old.I know, because I am 19 and even I can remember when DBZ was airing on Toonami. It ended in early 2008, so my memories are slim and fuzzy, but I remember it airing then. Then i remember seeing promos of it for it coming to NickToons along with Yu-Gi-Oh (which was short lived) and a new Speed Racer Cartoon.
>>10961192The weird thing is they break the rules whenever they feel like it. The South Park ones don't have it. And the XJ9 ones are trying to repurpose them as eye shine.
>>10956018Personally, I think the Miku one just looks better. Better pose and proportions. So i don't plan on getting this one.
Any modern versions of Pixel Chix with a LCD-Screen in front of a real plastic background?This type of see through display seems criminally under utilized.
I only know of Bitzee aswell, kinda different but I'll appreciate any type of innovative electronic toy.
>>10956257How is Bitzee? Gotta say they look pretty kino, tempted to bag one for myself and maybe as gifts for little cousins.
>>10957345Decent, but collecting and taking care of few pets gets boring fast. We are getting more versions soon
>>10956255i always wanted one of these but mom wouldnt buy them lol. She didnt buy me hardly anything sadly enough
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?
>>10950488It’s just our version of Hummels. I still have a really old Detolf that I just rotate my display into, but I do kinda need something else.
>>10950488I've got 7 detolfs, a Neutype double door cabinet, a wall shelf, and two book shelves that I put a row of figures in front of the books. Other than a third bookshelf which can be accented with figures like the others, that's all I plan to get. The Neutype(picture isn't mine, just an example) is what I went with after detolfs became $130 and while it was a bitch to build, it looks better than the detolfs imo since it doesn't have the railing on the sides. However, there are some bootleg detolfs on Amazon that also forego the rails. I tend to prefer cabinets since even without dustproofing they let in so little dust for it to be a non-issue, though there's something neat about figures being out in the open and being able to tweak their poses at the drop of a hat.
>>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
Welcome back.To start, some figures are expected to be hit with delays, so be ready to wait a bit more for the current figures to release. Marisa is one of the recently delayed releases. Its possible Shamrock might be delayed too since we've had no updates on him yet. In figure news, Marisa will once again be delayed to May as mentioned by Daibadi themselves as they are fixing some issues on her final production model. More info on Torin has been released by Daibadi themselves. He is finishing up her final model and has finally shown the new Gun Hands that was mentioned a while back. Each hand will have gun barrels at the fingertips and she has an updated bow for the back of her skirt. No other info has been given for other releases at this time. If no delays occur, we will hopefully get Shamrock by the end of this month.As always, here is the assistance e-mail for those who need it, so if any problem should arise, feel free to contact them over at "user_support@mile-stone.jp" or the shop you purchased the figure from.]Here's the discord link: https://discord.com/invite/y3avf89TFhLast Thread:>>10915367Previous Threads: https://archive.palanq.win/toy/search/subject/polynian/
>only a week left in april>no shamrock reissue updateHe's getting delayed once again no?
>>10960622yup. at this point i can't even think of a single daibadi release that wasn't delayed.
>>10953005Did the gigadick trap release yet?
>>10960970No. Currently due out in May, likely will get delayed.
