For me it’s Mego/retro style figures. They’re just absolutely hideous. The people buying this stuff are going to be dead within the next 10 years and it’s all going to the landfill/languish at goodwill.
>>11896772First day on this board?
>>11896768Staction garbage.
Super7 making GI Joes.
>>11896848these are just statues, not toys.
>>11896768Fukno Pops are still a thing. I remember news about how they filed for bankruptcy or something two years ago
>>11896848Man that polar bear would be way cool if it had joints
>>11896768Vote with your dollars, dip-shit. Toy-makers make what they can sell.
>>11896768It sells, doesn't matter what you think about it. People like it, people drop money on it.
>>11897134>do nothing>they still sellVoting is a sham.
>>11897304I guess you have to sit and be unhappy then, face the facts that people like things and they're not going to stop.
>>11896768multipacks. people fantasize and beg for them. you don't even get a volume discount in buying multiple figures at once anymore. they are demonic.>>11897134>>11897145>>11897308you know this thread is for posting things you don't like, not for throwing a fit and defending them, right? what toy related things do you think should end?
>>11896863I would love to actually like their Reaction+ series but they just don't look right. Maybe its the shoulders, idk but I just don't like the look of them. And at $26 a pop it's just not happening.
>>11897308Nta but there are many many things I dislike. I just accept it and move on, no need to dwell on things you dislike but can't change.
>>11897324Maybe you shouldn't have such shit takes on things?
>>11897435you like multipacks that much? why? what toy related things do you think should die?
>>11897554NECA. It should definitely die. It probably will die now that their golden goose is gone.
>>11896867They're figurines, not statues. Statues are higher quality.
>>11897569NECA's doing just fine, and will be around longer than you. Sad that this is what you waste your time doing.
>>11897681Honestly? With the TMNT licence yanked left and right from everyone that kept it going for all these years and those greedy corpos over at Mattel fucking things hard for everyone? I wouldn't count on it.
You didn't actually post mego/retro style figures though, you posted those weird Neca style children figures wearing those shitty retro costumes that we only wore back then because there was nothing better.But I agree they need to stop clogging 'collectors' isles with these. The charm is extremely limited relative to the gigantic scope at this point.
>>11897134>These things my local target isles since like the second wave>They keep making more anywaysAre they only popular in certain locations or something? Because from my perspective they are just making stuff no one wants, over and over.
>>11897324Yeah I particularly hate two packs that deliberately force you to get someone you don't want to get a character you want, or worse, when a character you would want doubles of, like a grunt, is stuck in a pack with a character you'd only need one of.
>>11897775Pic unrelated
>>11897767Honestly? You're quite the fool. Muppets and Sesame Street always draws collectors in. And there's still tons of horror support.
>>11897794Neca is in a better position than McFarlane. When they lose DC at the end of the year, it's completely joever.
>>11897435Necanon seething at milquetoast opinions once again
Yeah McFarlane's fucked. NECA has the Horror and other stuff to fall back on. I can't name a single other IP McFarlane has to cushion their fall when the DC license runs out.
>>118967681/12 and all of its supportersStay mad 1/12fags
>>118979231/12 was the best thing to happen to toy collecting since the action figure was created. Stay mad that real men don't care about your baby scale.
>>11897906>>11897919McFarlane did just fine before DC and will probably continue after. The sports figures are selling surprisingly well at my Targets.
>>11897919Uhhhh... Spawn? All the anime shit? Anime fans constantly assure me that non-anime media is dead and dogshit, so surely the anime licenses will do much better than DC.
>>11897957>>11897963Christ, you know how fucked I am to forget they did a Spawn line? I have the fucking figures looking right at me.
>>11897926The best thing about seething 1/12 retards is that all normies still consider you fucking losers who buy toys, and all non retarded toy enjoyers still have their eyesight and motor functions to enjoy actually decent toys that are 1/18, 1/24, 1/64, etc. You guys are legit just boomer dumb fucks too embarrassed to be seen with "toys" but meanwhile are the laughing stock of both the civilian world and the toy world. 1/12 collectors are the funko pop collectors of actual toy fans.
>>11897957Mcfart was a teeny company before DC and every time they tried something, even with popular IP (Dune, Witcher, Harry Potter, Halo), they fucked it up so badly they may as well just deliver straight to Ollie's and Ross.>>11897957The Bleach and other anime shit they did also heads straight to clearance outlets.
>>11897963Todd's anime shit always has this uncanny look that resembles what anime would look like if it was drawn by a Calarts student attempting to replicate the style of Jan van Eyck with a pack of cheap crayons.
>>11898148>Mcfart was a teeny company before DClmao this isn't true you just didn't care about what they were making
>>11896768Stands. Fuck stands, let people buy them separately if they want them. Stop making me pay for stands!
>>11896768Mental illness in the collecting community needs to die. I'm sick of it. You don't have to be some drooling schizophrenic who thinks everyone lives in his walls to enjoy action figures, but for whatever reason collecting action figures draws out the most mentally damaged. We really need to open the asylums back up, lock up half of you never to see the light of day again, and then move in with our lives. Giving you schizos internet access was such a fucking mistake.
>>11896768Neca retro figures are such garbage.
>>11898153>Todd's anime shit always has this uncanny lookWell, yeah, it's anime. It's grey aliens in technicolor troon wigs. No noses, razor thin jaws, identifiable only by decoding the array of hair pins they wear. Uncanny is sort of the name of the game.
>>11897794>Muppets and Sesame Street always draws collectors in.And yet they still won't make Elmo.
>>11898679at one point in time I wouldve thought this was hyperbole but after seeing how many board schizos /toy/ has compared to most other boards, I can agree with itlike any perception I had otherwise was destroyed that one time I saw a 1/12 weapon accessory thread end up staying up for like a week or two cause 2 fuckers literally screeched at each other back and forth for like 200 or 300 replies about some nonsensei've yet to see that on any other board, at least so distilled
>>11899976And I'm glad it makes you upset.
>>11899883Nah, they're pretty awesome. Which is why they sell so well.
When is NECA Scar King?
>>11900577You are such a lame troll
>>11900565It doesn't, if I wanted Sesame Street figures I'd just buy the Blokees. I just find it hilarious Randy's retardation stops him from making guaranteed sellers. Can't wait for him to lose the license and then blame the company for being "Hard to work with".
>>11902374And yet everything has been a guaranteed seller, in spite of your pathetic trolling. I guess you really don't know anything!
>>11902376So why don't they make another guaranteed seller? Surely Randy's feefees aren't more important than the massive profits they'd make from making THE most popular Sesame Street Muppet?
>>11902374See, Elmo would take up shelf space. Due to a gentleman's agreement between Playmates and NECA, NECA can't make an Elmo Figure. Times have changed since 2019, after all.
>>11902377Nobody wants Elmo, quit shitting up the board with your weird ass crusade.
>>11902408i want a neca elmo. speak for yourself.
>>11902418You don't even collect toys
>>11902374Actually the Henson Shop has been incredibly helpful and accomodating. They all agree there's no reason to do Elmo though. Far more important characters that people want first.
>>11902424Way to give yourself away as a NECA employee. Pretty sure that's advertising, which is against board rules, is it not?
>>11902423i have more toys than you
>>11902441Very, very doubtful.
Yes, people are clamoring for Monty, Wolfgang the Seal, Harvey Kneeslapper, Professor Hastings and Irvine. Elmo is such a non-character, NECA won't do him, clearly.
>>11902424That's super cool! Good thing Sesame Street isn't owned by the Henson Shop! It is it's own thing.Henson's in charge of: Fraggle Rock, Emmit Otter, Christmas Toy, Dinosaurs, Puppet Up!, Happy Time Murders.Sesame Street is owned by Sesame Workshop.Muppets, Muppet Babies, Bear in the Big Blue House, and other Muppet centric movies and shows, are owned by Disney.NECA-Anon lying again to make himself seem smart.
>>11902452Well hey, good thing there's never going to be an Elmo, otherwise you'd really be mad, huh?
>>11902444post your collection then. we're all waiting. let's see some toys big dogg
>"Y-You see, NECA asked Henson Shop about it a-and we will never get Elmo in NECA! You're so mad!"And NECA will never touch the TMNT OR Godzilla IP again. And that makes you VERY very VERY upset.
>>11902459They literally still produce Godzilla toys, and TMNT is only off limits for a short (relative) period. You really should keep up to date.
>>11902456quit shitting up the board with your weird ass crusade
>>11902452Not lying, just enjoying watching you writhe about coming up with more bizarre delusions about who does what.
>>11902460>They literally still produce Godzilla toysthe packages literally say "not a toy" on both the kidrobot plushes and the neca headknockers.
>>11902461I don't have a crusade. I'm enjoying the figures we're getting and you're the one that seems stuck on Elmo for some bizarre reason.
Then again, someone who couldn't tell a neca bootleg from the official figure behind it and then praised the bootleg? Probably not a good person to get 'inside neca facts' from.
>>11902466You mean the low quality image you posted about a bootleg thats only difference is some messier paint? Not the own you think it is, but you getting hung up on something stupid like that is pretty much your MO.
>>11902460'K. When's NECA King Ghidorah 2019? When's Shimo? Scar King? Suko? Titanus Doug? Rock Claw? Titan X? One-Eye? S.P. Rodan? S.P. Anguirus? S.P. Godzilla forms?
>>11902464>I don't have a crusadeyou troll everyone who wants a neca elmo. you troll everyone who criticizes neca. you absolutely have a crusade and you make this board worse. we just want toys. elmo toys! and you can't stand it.i want elmo and i will support neca when they make it.
>>11902469When's Playmates not around?
>l-low quality i-imageOh here's the full image then. That's ONE fine figure. "Still a good figure"- You, in July.
>>11902470This is true delusion
>>11902471>P-Playmates won't let themYet Playmates is letting Hiya, Super7, Funko, Bandai, Bandai America, McFalane, and several other toy companies are just fine making figures?
>>11902468>bootleg thats only difference is some messier paint?thats just typical neca qc, hardly surprising you'd think it was good. nice to know that the bootlegs are virtually as good as the real thing. thanks for the recommendation!
>>11902472No, it wasn't me, but what exactly is your issue? That is a good figure. What was incorrect about the statement? You really are upset over nothing.
I feel like I've been watching you schizoids argue about Elmo for months now and I still have no idea what the point of contention even is. I doubt either of you really care.
>>11902474Where's Hiya at on store shelves? You psycho. And Super7 and Bandai are all shoved into the collector sections just like the TMNT from NECA was. Playmates doesn't want the competition. It's the same deal.
>>11902477somebody with a bizarre crusade insists that neca will never make an elmo figure. that's all. they very obviously will unless their license doesn't allow it.
>>11902479lying is a sin, lil dude.
>>11902477someone with a bizarre crusade insists that neca will make an elmo figure. that's all. they very obviously won't because it's not a wanted or high priority figure.
>>11902482Yet you haven't proven them wrong.
>>11902481>I'M NOT THE PROBLEM, THE OTHER GUY IS AND I JUST BAIT HIM CONSTANTLYOk buddy.
>>11902487And yet they've still been making Godzilla toys, including plushes, accessories, and the Ben Cooper costume. But then you fundamentally don't understand how any of this works, and rage about it.
>>11902488ok, where's all the monsters that have been in the godzilla series since 2020?
>>11902487well you see, they have the license, its just that they dont use it because they came to an agreement with a different company not to use it, while making totally different products than action figures which is totally not a different license bro please believe me
>WE, the fine employees of NECA, are wasting over a million dollars every year since 2020, by sitting on and renewing the Godzilla license! PLEASE stop asking for 2019 Ghidorah. :(
>>11902488they've been making godzilla products, but not godzilla toys. super7, playmates, and bandai make plenty of godzilla toys tho.
>>11902490They are using the license, what are you talking about? You know they have to have the license to make and sell the toys in stores, right now, right?
>>11902487I mean, you keep hanging on to bizarre bullshit to keep trolling about. You have no purpose on this board other than stirring shit. You're a psycho.
>>11902495K, where's 2024 Godzilla from Godzilla X Kong new empire? Where's Shimo and Scar King?
>>11902493They've been making Godzilla toys, too. It sucks that you have to keep making things up like that.
>>11902495wheres the godzilla ultimates they suddenly stopped making? why is it only things labeled "not a toy?" sounds like they cant make toys to me!
>>11902498When does Playmates go away?
>>11902501You are very dumb
>>11902499show me a godzilla toy they've made that doesnt say "not a toy" on the package or label.
>>11902501Being willfully ignorant on the matter does not do you any favors. Playmates got off NECA's back about TMNT, and Playmates didn't have any competition with Godzilla. It was a very good trade off.
>>11902499prove me wrong. you won't. everything in the post you replied to is real verifiable facts about toys.
>P-PlaymatesDon't own the Godzilla license either. Bandai and Toho do. And they want money. So multiple toy companies can make merch of Godzilla.Except NECA, who's apparently just sitting on the license.
>>11902505godzilla toys in a separate aisle are no different than turtles toys in a separate aisle. you have no proof of any of your claims. you are a troll. please quit shitting up the board with your weird ass crusade.
>>11902507Playmates causes a lot of trouble for a lot of companies. It's sad that you ignore history like this. And they're not sitting on the license, they're making toys and other merch for it.
>>11902509OK, so you can show me the Shimo NECA figure, yes?
>>11902508>godzilla toys in a separate aisle are no different than turtles toys in a separate aisle.It's quite literally the same situation. It's all about leverage, and it's why the TMNT line was able to expand so vast and more avenues and options were able to open up. I get that you're a 12 year old, but it was not as easy to get the TMNT toys as it was now. And that was because of the restrictions Playmates had on NECA.
NECA's gonna go fucking bankrupt if they keep shelling out over a million dollars to use the Godzilla license and not produce merch for it.
>>11902512They've been producing merch for it.
>>11902511>it was not as easy to get the TMNT toys as it was nowseems a lot harder since mattel just put neca in their place and took the license away from them
>>11902511That's cool and everything. But Playmates had to answer to Viacom. And Viacom likes money. So they went 'Hey, multiple people can make toys of this IP'. It's not like the 90s anymore.
>>11902515And yet, you're wrong. Because as your fellow troll just pointed out: >>11902514 all it takes is for one company to want things their way to disrupt things.And Mattel didn't put anyone in anyone's place, nobody is keeping the TMNT license. But now we know that this seems to be temporary.
since 2020, when neca stopped making figures of godzilla, for some reason, there's been:>2019 ghidorah>2019 behemoth>2019 methusulah>2019 queen muto>2019 scylla>2021godzilla>2021 kong>2021 mechagodzilla>2021 warbat>2021 doug>2021 rock claw>2021 skullcrawler>2021 hellhawk>godzilla ultima>godzilla aqualatis>godzilla amphibia>godzilla terrastalis>2021 rodan>2021 rodan form 2>2021 jet jaguar>2021 kumonga>kamanga>salunga>2021 anguirus>2021 manda>hanega>zenbunga>2024 godzilla>2024 kong>suko>scar king>shimo>drown viper>2024 scylla>2024 tiamat>wart dog>odo island godzilla>minus one godzillaand several dozen more.
>>11902521Yeah, Playmates is in the way, on purpose. You keep ignoring that.
>>11902517did neca suddenly announce new tmnt toys?
>>11902523nope, just their delusions.>>11902522playmates has no say in who makes merch for godzilla, toho does. why is that so hard to understand?
>>11902522yet it hasn't stopped other companies from putting new godzilla toys in the same stores as playmates
>>11902525Yes, and it was explained to you why that is the case. Yet curiously you keep ignoring it. On purpose.
>the wikizilla neca page has been edited>to the same exact thing neca anon is claiminggee, wonder why.
>>11902526you've provided zero proof, only delusional defensive trolling. mattel took the tmnt license from playmates and neca, surely an ultimate godzilla should hit stores any minute now. unless of course you're just a weird little freak with no evidence of anything you say
>>11902528I mean, NECA didn't put out a figure of Minus One Godzilla...
>>11902529yet super7 and bandai sure didn't have any problems! hmmmmmmmmmm
>>11902528>mattel took the tmnt license from playmates and necaAnd Super7, and Mondo, and Joytoy, and Linjihung, and Bandai, and McFarlane, and Hasbro, and on and on and on and on.
>>11902531When the fuck did McFarlane have the turtles? Like, I'm hearing about them touching the turtles IP for the first time. Was it the Batman x Ninja Turtles crossover?
>>11902530Super7 isn't in toy stores and is limited to collector areas, just like NECA was with TMNT. Because of Playmates. And Bandai is only in collector areas too. Because of Playmates. Also nobody can stop Bandai, Bandai kicked Revoltech's shit out when they tried to do Godzilla. Because -one company- can cause a lot of trouble for other companies.
>>11902531two of which have had no problems selling godzilla toys in the same market as playmates! hmmm one even sells turtles! strange! almost as if playmates is irrelevant
>>11902532No, the batman x TMNT figures were DC Direct, which were awesome.McFarlane did Page Punchers of the IDW TMNT. They were not awesome.
>>11902536>They were not awesomeSo...McFarlane in general?
>>11902532you can buy mcfarlane turtles toys in walmart and target right now
>>11902535>have had no problems selling godzilla toys in the same market as playmates!Again, you're ignoring everything being said just so you can troll. You aren't arguing in good faith. You never were.
>>11902533>Super7 isn't in toy stores and is limited to collector areasinstant contradiction right in the first sentence that's crazy mani can go to walmart right now and buy godzilla toys from super7, bandai, and playmates. not neca. probably because neca said they couldn't do it anymore years ago.
>>11902539You say 'You can'. But the real question is 'Would you?'. It's fucking McFarlane.
>>11902544Again, ignoring details just so you can troll. Bandai and Super7 are not allowed to be sold in the toy aisles and are restricted to collector areas. Because of Playmates.
>>11902547Bro? They're toys.
>>11902549Welcome to the legality of terms and loopholes with toys in how they are sold, where they're sold, how often they're sold, and who can sell them.You'd lose your goddamn mind if you actually paid attention.
Toho owns Godzilla.Playmates answers to Toho.Nothing you say can change this fact. If Toho wants NECA to produce figures, they'd still be doing it.
>>11902553Which they are, which is why you can buy a Ben Cooper Godzilla figure, plushes, and other toys.But Playmates may answer to Toho, but Playmates can still and DOES prevent other companies from doing as they see fit freely. They've done it for decades. Do you really think nobody touched TMNT for all those years because Playmates was being kind and willing to play ball?
>>11902547okay, and? neca sold their godzilla figures in the collector aisles just fine until they lost the license.
so when's neca titan x?
>>11902553Ah yes, the "la la la I can't hear you!!!!" defense. Very adult.
You mean the same defense you've deployed since it's been pointed out NECA LOST THE GODZILLA LICENSE IN 2020?
>>11902555They made a deal with Playmates to not get in their way with Godzilla, and Playmates allowed NECA to do more with TMNT, including more freedom in how and where they could sell them. TMNT used to be incredibly difficult for people to find and buy, and it got better and better because of this deal. History is your friend.
>>11902554>Ben Cooper Godzilla figurenot a godzilla figure>plusheskidrobot, not neca, and literally says not a toy >and other toys.bobbleheads? says not a toyif you love all these so much, surely you'd be collecting and posting them, right?
>>11902561prove it. you won't.
Why would Henson's Creature Shop, who don't own the rights to, or are in charge of, Sesame Street Workshop, know if NECA's doing an Elmo figure?>>11902561Your made up history, just because you scream it loudly, doesn't make it true. Show. Proof.
>>11902562>not a godzilla figureIt is. Cry as you might, but it is.>kidrobot, not neca, and literally says not a toy Yes, it is NECA, and plushes literally are toys. You are once again falling for legal terms because you are so angry.>bobbleheads? says not a toyYes, they're toys. See above.
lil dude thinks if someone puts a trendmasters figure of godzilla on the shelf, that trendmasters suddenly comes back from the dead and owns the license.
>>11902564>Show. Proof.History is proof. You putting your hands over your eyes does not change what happened all these years when you weren't alive. Stay mad.
>>11902569See, that's HILARIOUS, cause I'm actually, older than NECA itself. By almost ten years in fact! Now show proof, and quit your projection, stop your deflection, and post your fucking collection.
>>11902568You're the only one saying that.
>>11902570So you choose to be old and ignorant? That's really quite pathetic. History is proof. I suppose you think it was just dumb luck that TMNT figures from NECA magically poofed into retail one day, huh?
>>11902573No. Because Viacom saw NECA's works and went 'Hey, we own TMNT, not Playmates, let's have NECA make figures of them!'.
>>11902566neca says they're not toys. i will take their word over yours, including when they said they cannot and will not make godzilla figures anymore
lil bro's still learning to read.
>>11902569you're putting your hands over your eyes when you say some agreement is keeping neca godzilla toys out of the collector aisle they've always been in despite other companies putting their godzilla toys there.
>>11902577You silly little boy, so very wrong. The strong sales and interest allowed NECA to work with them and Playmates, and that's when Playmates made it so NECA could only sell them at retail -as exclusives- and -only in a collector aisle- and -only in two packs- to keep them at a price point and style that wouldn't interfere with Playmates.Again, exactly what they've done with the Godzilla setup and other companies.>>11902579It's adorable how you choose to stay ignorant.>>11902580>despite other companies putting their godzilla toys there.Nope. They are off in the collector aisles. It is only NOW, in 2026, that both Bandai and NECA are being aisle set in toys. And that is only because Playmates is severely weakened after all this time. But they're still a pain in the ass.
>>11902586>They are off in the collector aisles.and so were neca's godzilla toys during their entire run until they lost that license. History is proof. You putting your hands over your eyes does not change what happened all these years when you weren't alive. Stay mad.
>>11902591That's great dude, I accept your concession on the matter. I hope someday you'll learn from history.
>>11902593>no argument or proof otherwisei accept your concession. you have yet to prove a single thing you've claimed. you're just a troll.>>11896768i think neca and it's weird defender needs to die. the toys are usually fine but they're not good enough to justify this behavior
I hope the TMNT thing NecaSperg talked about is true and NECA gets the license back, honestly. I WANT Movie III characters, I want a Mitsu. I want Shrieka and the 'EVERYBODY HATES ME' alien. I want the rest of the 2012 Lineup.
>>11902448the only people willing to buy Sesame street toys for NECA prices are old fossils who think nothing muppet related is good since Jim Henson died.
>>11902705Ooh, right for the fucking jugular. Lmfao
>>11902705not wrong
