Man these come with a lot of good shit, like if GI Joe Classified figures came with random bullshit instead of guns, is this what Star Trek fans want? 1/10th scale seems strange. There's also this green alien guy who they're advertising with a floating head and the description mentions magnets too.>Like his two-dimensional counterpart, this 1/10-scale articulated figure separates into three portions using innovative magnetic connections, and can be placed behind a fence to recreate the episode where he was behind a fence Seems fun
Any Ship nerds in the thread? I've been trash-bashing a ship model for funsies, and it ended up looking very Starfleet. I was wondering what class it bears the most resemblance to, if any. My first thought is that it might do as a modified Nebula or a Miranda of some variety, maybe even a variation on an Intrepid if you squint. Mostly I want to nail down an era for the paintjob/registry numbers (though due to the crudity of the model, it might just have to be TOS/Lost Era regardless)
>>11625551call it a reinforced Miranda class battlecruiser
>>11625641If dommy Troi says so, then so it must be.

Are these really so profitable that companies shit out so many of them?I can't imagine who is buying these. They are extremely overpriced. Have zero play value or lose any play value after the unboxing. 50-90% of it is just packaging. The toys are often literal trash and shouldn't be even worth displaying or collecting. Even the gambling aspect is underwhelming bc the rare ones are still just trash.They seem very expensive to make but I can't imagine anyone paying so much money to get random trash.
>>11605756This line gives me ben 10 vibes, but Im too scared to buy more at the risk getting another recolor or the wrong gorilla
>>11605431I dont actively collect these but if i catch one on clearance then ill buy a few, they are fun to open and collect with a gf. Its a cheap way to try to share the fun i find in collecting and enjoying toys. But yeah, they are expensive and probably irritating to collect due the blind box aspect of them. I think zuru is doing a good job with their dino series but it seems like the mini line is their cash cow right now.
>>11614873God I wish they would just do a pizza line like they did KFC
>>11618513Foodies series 2 was mostly Pizza Hutt
>>11618520Youre right I guess I just want more pizza
What have you bought recently?Preorders?Upcoming releases?Thinking about grabbing Luke but not sure if I should wait for the Revo. Both of them have one face or another that feels wonky, and I think I like the effect parts more on the revoltech too.
>>11627315I need a Juri figure bad, someone with experience with this seller/site please talk me out of ithttps://onesixthkit.com/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=6555&search=female+fighter
>>11629070They’re doing her classic costume too. The figure looks boring either way.
>>11628821I managed to oil up the joints. Had to untuck the shirt up and pull the pants down. It's doable, but pretty annoying. One needs to be careful to not stain the soft goods.Now Terry can use his legs, joints are not to tight and not to lose, can hold poses perfectly.Sucks I had to do it on a ~100 buck figure, but hey, it works now.
>>11629088feet are too small. would not buy.
>>11629852but it comes with 6 interchangeable feetbut to be honest I want it to be as detailed as possible for the price. Of course if I had fuck you money, I would have bought the Premium Masterline statue for 1.3k. They don't show closeups of the soles but they do for the hands, and that level of detail is amazing, although way out of budget for me

My OC Toys base form Vegito has been stuck in transit since October 19th. The seller on Aliexpress told me that it was intercepted by customs. But when I asked him if it was still going to deliver, he said "sure". Which I guess means "yes". Now it's been almost a entire month and the package is still stuck in transit.Am I fucked or I'm just overreacting to this?
>>11621794yeah just request a refund on that one. I'd recommend skipping OC Vegetto at this point too.
you guys wanna go through this box of 3.75" figures I haven't looked at in 10+ years with me? I'm not gonna keep any of it lel

This was a fun thread OP. Thanks for the flashback to a time when I cared about Star Wars.
>>11610211I miss the Marvel Universe line like you wouldn't believe. I have a lot of these guys I should dig out but I never really got too into legends because of the price and scalping but I never had issue getting whomever I wanted out of these unless it was some fucking con exclusive. It was a fun line and I wish they'd bring it back because holy fuck does this no articulation retro shit blow.
>>11626656Like seriously how the fuck is any of this shit okay. I know they're cheap but so weren't the Universe. This is like Happy Meal shit.

>>11618303I got mine last night from WalMart, retailed for $19+, I had $3 in WM cash from the protein powder I buy, so it was about $17, when all was said and that gives me two Brainiac Drones for a display, not sure if I want three or four but if I ever see them for $15, yeah, maybe, so thanks.
Why do people collect action figures and leave them in the box? They have articulation and accessories and features that are meant to be interacted with. Just get a statue if want something to look at. Is it a speculation thing?
>>11612236Yeah last summer a guy at a toy show was selling a lot he picked up at an estate sale of Mattel Harry Potter and the Philosophers Stone toys still sealed and he had almost everything.I got the deluxe Hagrid for a reasonable price and the packaging was really well designed. The plastic bubble was sculpted like Hogwarts columns and there was folded printed cardboard behind to make a 3D effect. But unfortunately the glue holding it to the card was so dried up it was falling apart and the edges where beat to hell and the bubble plastic was beyond yellowing it was browning. So I opened it.
I have a few hanging on walls because they look cool and its the best place for them. Would be nice to see if the value increases but I wouldnt sell them anyway.
>>11615939>I have a few hanging on wallsThis is so bad.
>>11609671Yes, but a lot of the people selling this crap are selling it at scalper prices, like record stores and book stores used to as if they were out of print material. >>11614462Also this>>11615939Man - if this is really what you want to do, get one of those narrow floating shelves and display them ON that, leaning against the wall. Don't fucking nail or thumb tack or anything like that to the fucking plaster walls.
>>11616327Then the cardboard with eventually bow or curve.

Theyre selling bootleg spin master DC figures at five below now

I'm pretty sure this is official, Spinmaster is just bad

>>11617568>who cares about knockoff plastic garbageWake me up when China starts making bootlegs of the DC sets that LEGO refuses to re-issue, allowing scalpers to charge absurd prices for 'em.
The Kirby is very sticky. Is there any way to counteract that? It's made of that faux-rubber stuff that becomes mush if you leave it in its packaging forever.Also in completely unrelated matters: do you have any suggestions on how to convert the Astro to a Christmas ornament? I have another one I intend to do that with. I was thinking of using the mounting peg somehow but I'm not sure if I can find something that will fit in there that will also work to let me hang it from a tree.
Yes, it's a common issue with the Kirby and rubberized figures. To make matters worse, cleaning them the way other plastisizer leaking figures are reccomended to be cleaned by GSC(dunking in soapy water) is advised against because it will remove the layer on the rubberized material that gives it grip. You're meant to use clear tape to remove any grime and a clear water based lotion to clean it.https://lab.goodsmile.info/2021/11/08/%E3%83%A9%E3%83%90%E3%83%BC%E5%A1%97%E8%A3%85%E3%81%AD%E3%82%93%E3%81%A9%E3%82%8D%E3%81%84%E3%81%A9%E3%81%AE%E3%81%8A%E6%89%8B%E5%85%A5%E3%82%8C%E6%96%B9%E6%B3%95%EF%BD%9E%E8%A1%A8%E9%9D%A2%E3%81%AE/Japan gets really humid in the summers so plastisizer leaks are a bigger issue than some might think. I've gotten a few figures from Mandarake that were leaking in spite of not being mentioned on the listing which means it likely happened when it was in storage after it was first checked in.
So if something I own is having an issue with plasticizers leaking or breaking down, what can I do to prevent it from getting worse?>>11615823GSC?
>>11615823>GSC(dunking in soapy water) is advised against because it will remove the layer on the rubberized material that gives it grip.Yup. It fucked my kirby up.>>11617496>what can I do to prevent it from getting worse?Pray or do what that other anon said above you.I have 3 kirbies, My og one leaked plastic hard, my og robobot one goddamn cracked, and the 20th one is a ticking time bomb.
>>11617547In my case it's not kirby, it's a third party face/hair kit for Beast Deities Broly
>>11617570Already? that shit just came out recently. Otherwise soapy water is what I use for the one figure that I ever had with that porlbem outside of kirby.
