>>11302613Reviews I've seen say it's really good, though the hoodies are baggier.Speaking of those bootlegs, thought I was gonna be working on a CT tigerstripe Wolvie tonight, but it turns out it's a fucking Maf one. FML.
Anyone have experience with the Advanced Z line of Zoids? The new Death Saurer looks great. I'm not crazy about it being mechanical, but I want to avoid shit likethe Kotobukiya kits. They had to many micro parts and were stupid fragile.

>>11289902I have purchased every 2024+ city space set and I love them. My one real criticism is the lack of a 90 degree, T, or + junction for the hab pods. The only way to connect the pods to each other for a terrestrial space base is in a straight line, and I've been working on my own junction.

these fucks that came since 2020 with their brain cooked on TikTok are the cringiest fucks I've seen in my life, the same level as some die-hard Star Wars retards, after literal decades I once again feel ashamed of being part of the toy collector community due to these fucks.You can easily spot them using the word "bro, blud, skull emojis, aura" over and over again, the only shit that these fucks care about is how much a figure can bend like a pretzel and "heckin epic action posing" ACBA wasn't this cringe even at its worst,fuck this community
They're basically the tablet generation. Their fidget toys, pokemon, skibbity toilet, and maybe anime if you're lucky.
get a fuckin grip, youre collecting childrens toys

>>11291162
>>11275095>And MY GOD does he use the FUCK out of “bro” and “mf”. I suspect he’s not black because otherwise he would just say “nigga”, which is effectively what his usage of “mf” conveys.Not sure if he's pretending to be black considering that blacks tend to use "bruh" more. "Bro" is pretty racial neutral.
Soft toys, plushies and stuffed animals of all kinds! Did you recive any new plushie this Christmas? My mom gave me this big Hello Kitty. It's really soft although the clothing and ribbon are a bit cheap but it's a nice present nonetheless.Previews thread:https://archive.palanq.win/toy/thread/11243589/#11248979
do you guys pay much attention to specific plush brands? just last year I discovered the wonderful stuffed toys produced by german companies steiff and gund and fell in love. I cant put into words just how perfect both of their offerings are, but if you have money burning a hole in your pocket, consider looking into them.
>>11289484Yeah I was originally planning to just remove the teeth as I think that is the biggest contributor to the vibe but I decided to keep them. Sure it makes her a little spooky but it gives her character that I don't have in anyone else in my collection. Also I just got these recently and I think they'll be the last ones I get for a while as my room is basically full of plushies at this point. Midna feels nice but unfortunately she has a hollow pipe supporting her head which I feel when I hug her. Her mask tends to fall off quite easily but her hair is very soft
Finally getting 'em done. Working on clothes now.

>>11303417Variety.
>>11303417I like women and I like action. Action women may not make much sense, but it's a natural conclusion of those interests.
Speaking of women, what happened to the Lady Jaye Amazon series?
>>11303417>>why do people want female G.i.Joes?Because there are females in the military anon. Duh.
>>11303841Apparently the anon can't deal with this fact. I'm not even sure what "girl boss" means in this context.
What is it about modern LEGO that rubs me the wrong way? It's not just how 99% of everything is license-themed or pandering to AFOLs (although these are part of the problem). It also feels like they're giving you less while disguising it as more. The way that newer builds look and feel cheap and bare-bones while also bloating the piece count. Getting rid of baseplates and other single-mold specialty pieces to save money.Is anyone else seeing this?I know it's not just LEGO, other toys are suffering in this day and age. But I'm not going to pretend that THEY'VE STILL GOT IT like /lg/ does.
>>11299190>the lack of actual LEGO partsSometimes it feels like as if for every generic 2x2 or 2x4 brick there are 20 bracket parts and curved slopes in a set these days.
>>11300460Yeah. The problem is worse with other sets. I'm pretty sure LEGO Friends was not the first girl-oriented LEGO set but most of the Friends sets don't even look like LEGO sets (the not-quite-LEGO "mini-doll" figures don't help).In contrast, Belville had actual recognizable LEGO pieces and while their characters weren't LEGO-like it didn't evoke uncanny valley looks-like-Playmobil effects with them.
>>11275922i wish they made more small high quality sets for tinyroomcels like memost of their new sets don't even fit on my shelf and small sets are for kids>but lego is for kids!yeah...

Oh no no no!We would like to inform you that, starting January 7th, 2025, DHL shipping rates have been revised. The changes are as follows:- USA/Canada: An increase of approximately 20-30% compared to previous rates.- Rest of the World: An increase of approximately 3% compared to previous rates.
>>11288270By DHL? EMS? SAL? be more specific, bud
>>11288269Also, I like how Hobby Search just randomly decided to call me the whitest name in existence.
>>11280826The funniest thing, I checked on some sites, and PR, right next to the USA and one of their territories and the rates are lower. Very weird, since packages have to go through the United States, before making their way to PR.
>>11287942>Jan 25th?1st of Jan 2025. We ain't in year 1.
>>11277731Europe is fourth world-tier with first world infrastructure.
i want the industry to get to a point where components and electronics for toys are so inexpensive to make that advanced robotic figures like like this aren't just commonplace but cost no more than $50 each
>>11285478These things are no better that statues and only exist for punjabs to buy for their 4 year-olds so they can beat off to the $600 USD receipt
>>11285478>I want my toys to spy on me and my family!weird flex, but OK
>>11285478>advanced robotic figures>$50 eachLol. Lmao even.Commander Class Transformers are regularly $100 so good luck with that.
The problem here is no one here really wants this, most people here probably don't even want electronics in their figures, they want maximum articulationSo these electronic figures are all aimed at casuals with more money than sense who are impressed with relatively advanced but ultimately limited mechanics.
>>11285909Those things are actually useless as statues, once they power themselves off they literally go limp and can't even stand up anymore. The only thing they're actually good for is getting crowds at a store or con display, as they're not actually fun to play with and can't even display well as they have limited battery life. >>11286042I don't mind cool lights or unobtrusive sounds or some sort of actually fun motorized gimmick. I just need it to be a good toy first and foremost before you start adding in the bells and whistles.
Merry Christmas, /toy/! Last year, I made this thread with some free scans I found across the internet. It's time to remake it with some more stuff I found since then, so even if you were here last year, check the folders carefully.I tried to credit most of them, so you can view them on whatever profile they were found, maybe find more stuff that interests you, support the scanner etc.Note: I'm not sure those are all that printable, and most aren't articulated, so your mileage may vary.
>>11274988this is cool as hell!!
Hell yeah. Got any Star Trek stuff? Looking for scans of ships or characters from the Playmates range.

This is the thread for opening our gifts and discussing anything you want to suggest or change for next year. Please take pictures of your gift!If your gift arrives late (especially if you're involved in the postal strike situation) and the thread doesn't last long enough for your gift to arrive you can email me pictures of your gift any time and I'll pass them along, it doesn't matter how late it is, I'll be around.My email: toysecretsanta2024@gmail.comFAQ: https://pastebin.com/jA4SUZUQPrevious: >>11247251
I know not everyone has posted their gift yet and I encourage anyone that hasn't yet to do so regardless of how you feel about the gift you received but there is only so much I can do in that regard. I'm mainly making this post to say that a few days ago the exchange officially ended as the last person that needed a gift received it. So everyone is done and we had no grinches this year.So my job is done but obviously I'll still be checking the thread until it dies. If you need to email me also let me know in the thread because I won't be checking my email as often anymore. Before the thread dies, if there is anything you want me to consider changing for next year, now is the time to make suggestions.
>>11290437>my anon got his gift, finallyOh!!! Thank you for another successful year, sorry for the yearly trouble.
>>11290437thanks again for all your workhaving done volunteer stuff like this, I know it can be a major and time-consuming pain, so that's appreciatedmy only suggestion is a post in October announcing the sign up in November, maybe with a new picture, perhaps one of this threads or last threads?I realize people should know and expect it but it can't hurt, especially since we have some announced future non-participants.
>>11288338This is quite a lot of text for someone who doesn’t know the first thing about what they’re talking about. You’re just trying to start shit but I’m glad you at least waited until the thread was basically over because we really don’t need people like you coming in here and trying to start drama with people for no reason.
>>11295595Thank you for playing.It was good for a quick chuckle.
This is 20 years of action figure engineering progress. How much more can these toys be expected in improve in the coming years?
>>11276188Baaaaased
>>11276209Definitely a better Cloud than the Bring Sharts.
>>11282978>>11283403It's definitely possible now more than ever to make a simple custom. It just depends on what style of figure you'd want to make him into.

Anyone else here likes to play with clay/plastiline? As in not doing anything too complex just messing around doing basic figurines and stuff. I made these with Play-Doh but I wasn't aware this type of plastiline cracks up when dried.
>>11275039they look delicious, anon
>>11287003Thank you!
I have some silly putty I keep on my desk in a plastic egg. It's fun to mess with and I like to sometimes mess with my toys with it and pretend they're stuck or make them leave footprints.
I made a lighter gondola today. It hasn't dried yet.
>>11291962You should make one out of fudge and icing. Nice Kommando Store Gondola plushie btw. I was thinking about getting the slightly larger version with dangly legs for my bookshelf.
ITT: Playsets you own, want, or had as a kid. Honestly always wanted this Peewee's Playhouse set. Saw it sitting in a comic shop when I was a kid for like $50, then as I got older I steadily saw the price rise and am practically frothing over the thing but have no room. It's really cool that it kinda scales to 1/12.
>>11284582It looks like it is the Ghostbusters firehouse but with different stickers. >>11285290That's the problem with most of the playsets. Commercials and images make them look amazing but out of the box and without the extra stuff art departments add in the commercials, you normally end up with two to three pieces of plastic and some cardboard that makes a bland piece of a house. Snake Mountain and Castle Greyskull were the only ones that were pleasing, and fairly sturdy.
>>11285628>It looks like it is the Ghostbusters firehouse but with different stickers.They look similar, but they're actually different. The Police Academy set is smaller. >Snake Mountain and Castle Greyskull were the only ones that were pleasing, and fairly sturdy.I gotta disagree. In the 80s alone there are a lot of wonderful GI Joe playsets, the Ghostbusters Firehouse and the Police Academy set the other anon posted, the Kenner Hall of Justice, the 80s Toybiz Batcave was pretty good despite having a cardboard backing, the Thundercats lair was pretty good too.
>>11285628C'mon, you at least saw a video on it or knew the PA playset had the sliding jail door button gimmick. And, it was 2 stories tallGhostbusters firehouse had the spinning pole, roof smile-jizz vent and was 3 stories tall.Get your eyes checked
Sometimes I'd go to my parents' friends' house and their kids had this Playmobil island, I always thought it was cool. Had a little hidden cave in the back.
The site of many a super hero/villain fight as a kid.
