>those fuckhueg "rivets" all over the bodywhat the fuck were they thinking?is it supposed to be an armored car?
I just got a Sileighty and the axles are slightly but noticeably bent when you compare the spacing in the wheel wells on both sides. Is there any way to fix this without drilling off the rivets and disassembling the whole thing?
>>11646616you can cut the axles off by lodging a wire cutter behind the wheels and replace them with a new one, just look up those how to replace wheels without drilling diecast vids on youtube

I think I am one of a handful of people who actually know why this toyline failed in short The toy line was pure insanity somehow the managers did think that kids will love mutants who look like crap thrown together!The only colors are shit green, shit gold/brown and 4 of the mutants look almost identical meaning like generic crap thrown together.Not only this the mutants are fully unique (have their own molds)!!!!!!1111one one oneIf you did not know the original toy line did reuse like 4 molds they pressed differently colored plastic out.This is why the le skeleton scare glow literally has abbs and flesh on him! They only painted the skeleton in. This was super cheep to produce.However the 90s toyline decided to have these mutants. And wasted unique molds on EVERY body part they have.This character? Looks totally different in the show and is not even really named. Also all the mutants except 4 are background characters and one of them is not even drawn in model or his colors?The most memorable are>Flog (red leader)Comment too long.

>>11638396 I think that the weird retro apocalypse futurism - in a strongly Kirby way was part of it's charm. Thundarr rides over a desk in the middle of a swamp (that has stood there for a thousand years.) and the wood freshly smashes. SPEED BUGGY is petrified in a rock - but can still be driven. Subway posters for JAWS 10. And they are all mixed in with MASSIVE geological shift. It's literally A WORLD GONE MAD. and that makes it better. (and that's not even the aliens and cyber mages) This isn't 200 years in the future. Magic fucked things. what magic didn't fuck science and radiation did. the interactions are why it's like that and bits of the past preserved.
>>11638407 It's possible that you could reboot Thundarr today because it didn't have the toys then.
>>11638402I don't think having to feature specific characters in a series due to a new toy coming is a bad thing. aiming a cartoon to sell a toyline doesnt have to be bad. lazy writers might complain but when you have the talent you can add new characters and get a new spin on the series with it
>>11639154>That's how Harmony Gold stole Macross from Big West/Tastonoku with changing the name to "Robotech," re-editing the cartoons, and changing most character names.This is inaccurate. The way they stole it was they purchased the rights to localize Macross, but the wording in the contract was vague and so they argued they bought the rights to the IP it'self. They ended up settling for ownership of the distribution rights in the western hemisphere, but I think now even that is no longer the case because they haven't done anything with the rights other than sue people for distributing/producing anything even Macross adjacent for the past 3 decades. Now they only block any Macross content from the 80s era.
>>11637488it's like they wanted to be GI Joe and TMNT simultaneously
>biggest toy store in the city is closing>go check it out>this is their Marvel Legends sectionWhat the fuck
>>11644340I went to a Ross today that was filthy with NECA's. I'm not interested but I dropped a post to their GEN. They had DC, ML (not many), but a lot of Bandai and other imports, Transformers, I saw GI Joe's today as well, plus a ton of Beastmaster Super7, and some random ReActions (the Office and Parks and Rec?), so you're right. However, we have what passes for toy stores in my metro area, plus WalMart in the suburbs and Targets. In fact, this Ross was right next to a hge Target (about four small stores apart since Target has their own building).>>11644382Yup, I saved that picture to shitpost on Toddster Patio Gen here but I see if I blow it up you can clearly see the BA logo. Sabac also had a boring design. I've seen people do displays without any DC capes but using the pirate from Aquaman or using Swamp Thing or even Darkseid to tower over shit and it looks good, so I could see someone buying him but it's so fucking static. These are just cheap PVC statues.I just realized that the vehicle on the bottom of that display in the Batpatz Drifter bike, I just grabbed that off Target for $14, free shipping since I was buying other crap. I can see people picking that up cheaply if they understand it's just a generic Honda or similar bike, there's not even a fucking bat logo on it.
>>11645430Wouldnt mind getting Demona if i didnt have to shave her wings down again
>>11645711I was really impressed with how good some of those look. I keep seeing just The Black Noir and no other boys (maybe they never made any?) and I think it would make a great basic generic buck for a head minion or something like that in a crowd scene. But I'm not paying $17 because he's on some Amazon Prime show that I've never even really paid attention to the memes that stemmed from it.
>>11636190It's fucking insane. They'll make figures for literally who characters, but you'd be lucky to find an Iron Man or Wolverine.
>>11645989>literally who characterssome of that is contractually. some of it you have to wonder.I mean look at all the Metamorpho's that are peg warming all over the place half a year after the movie came out. They might as well have made a Jimmy Olsen figure.

>>11643214Did kids in the '90s know who Elvis was? Let alone about his prime days
>>11647430Elvis was still popular enough in the 1990s. Lilo & Stich featured it and he's been in plenty of other popular things like that. >>11647287I think all of these (the Clayton Henry and the one or two others) are supposed to be art from the two Superman Blue And Red series they have done?And I think the entire project is a play on the Batman Black and White set of statues - of which there was a fuckton. It's kind of shame because those Batman B&W sold decently because some were reasonably priced, and under $100.These are glorified poly resin, e.g. plastic with attitude. There's no reason for them to cost more than the Diamond Select Gallery editions costs.
>>11647637Why does Rossman look bigger? Optical illusion due to the packaging?
So are these dedicated joint tightening liquids actually worthwhile or is floor polish good enough? Does it work better? Does it last longer? Does it do less/more damage to the figure long term?
>>11644485NTA but as others have said, keep in mind how 'wet' you are getting your PVC and keep in mind how long it might take to dry. So rather than 'squirt' or 'drop,' being sparring with an applicator (or a q-tip, or applicator like tool - I've used those plastic toothpicks or kept and used those individual plastic flossing 'clips?' Working it in yes, but then once you get what you need, try to get it dry as fast as you can, even if it's not in a visible place. Good luck!
>>11644485>>11644485You dont, but it's always better to pop it out. Especially if it's a ball joint that goes into a socket. If it's a ball joint that you manage to pop out, it's better to use the water texture. It leaves a transparent flexible layer that creates more friction. For other joints, you can apply the reducer. Of course, always start small, if you need more friction, add more and let it dry. I usually apply it, pose it, put it back in my display and forget about it lolThe more you can dismantle a joint, the better. Pic related, Zodd's shoulder joint was loose so I completely dismantled it for better results.
>>11642291Are there fake of these? I'm eyeing on buying exactly this but I wanna be sure I get the authentic brand
>>11645241Kiki doesn't disclose its ingredients or have a MSDS, so how do you even check its authenticity?
Just use elmers glue
Thoughts on the old Resident Evil line from Toybiz?
>>11645102>I hope a company makes figures of Dr. Caligari and Cesare from The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari one day.Silent Screamers line has them
>>11645251I had the Nosferatu from this line as a kid. The action feature where his skin turned purple in the sun was pretty cool.
>>11638790>>11638791Love that Licker
>>11645251Those are cool!They got a bit too creative with Dr. Caligari imo, but Casare looks pretty close to how he looks in the movie.
Which McFarlane Blair Witch is a better design?
Discuss your tin soldier collection or any other toys made of tin!
>>11643665>>11643679>>11642841TFG apparently stands for Troll Faggot General
I like tin figures but i don't own any
I miss the tin train that belonged to older family members (think mine had been an uncle's?) and were passed down. It still worked and I remember my dad telling me about rust and taking care of it and that I could pass it down. Other than that and wanting toys not to just be non-stop plastic, have no real opinions.
I didn't see a customs thread so i figured I'd just ask. I have a lot of experience printing my own figures but even with high quality stuff like PETG or ID resin I'm getting fed up with the joint wear from printed materials. Do you anons have any recommendations for prefab revoltech / figma style joints? that way tolerance isn't an issue and I can just sculpt and print the in-between parts like I'm used to. Thanks. Now I'm gonna bump the thread with some pics of my last custom.
>>11644644Yes, my TV Evas that I got two years ago all broke almost immediately.
>>11644644Did you see any signs of leaking plasticizer on the surface of the joints? Maybe that's made them brittle, or maybe it's because of UV exposure.
>>11636855Are there any legal issues in regards to action figure joints? If I wanted to sell my own figures and made a mass produced mold with these things for articulation would I have to get a lisence from their manufacturer?
>>11647062>Are there any legal issues in regards to action figure jointsNo. But you sound very green. Do you have any idea how much it would cost to have any figure mass produced?
>>11647010Nope, at least not the liquid, yellow shit variant that people bring up; just the "usual" PVC-gets-kinda-sticky-and-attracts-dust one.And as said, it's ONLY that kind of joint.All the white, gold, red, yellow, etc. and matte black ones are perfectly fine.

Does anyone know why the Blade Liger has 2 copies of the instructions included?The only difference i can find is a white block of text on one and it being a heavier material.Am I dumb or just blind?

>>11645595Hit it with some matte topcoat, it will make it look a lot better
My fancy metal parts arrived today. Now the question is, do I start with my recirculation wing zero ka or Hi-Nu ka?
>>11640163>>11640226Did they improve the joints? Maybe I'm thinking of another kit but I remember this looking a bit more segmented.
Lets talk about Tamagotchi Friends and other digital pets :3 uwu
>>11645499Alternatively you can spend $30ish and build yourself an ACOM. It's super easy, took me like 20 minutes to assemble one from parts and flash the firmware. That's what I did. So now if I need to battle another device I don't own, I can using codes from Humulus website. Unlocked all the various backgrounds on all three of my Color devices that way. Honestly, the thing is so nifty and cheap to just build yourself with an arduino, a bread board and some resistors and wires that it's a must have for any Digimon vpet collector. You can spend a bit more for a pre built device that's a bit cleaner and easier to physically use since many have actual prongs instead of just wires, but they're not really worth it imo. Building one is just more satisfy8ng too.
>>11644901>4U4 Ultimate?
>>11645800Also should I swap the buttons/frames of the Nature Spirits and Nightmare Soldiers to LARP as their .5 equivalents?
Managed to avoid all spoilers for Jade Forest and raised my first tama to adulthood. Of course I got Horhotchi somehow.
My sister loves Tamagotchi's for some reason. She has like three.

>>11644636I guess this is using the high kemo ct face with swapped out eyes here?From the figure on the box cover art, it looks like it.I wish they hadn't used the sorta pink colored one when it seems what were getting is actually just white. It's really confusing, especially since the wolf girl comes exactly as she's been shown off
>>11644640So glad I ordered the brown wolf chick.What of these is painted anyway? Like is that all the base colors or will we have to do any painting ourselves?
>>11645812I'm pretty sure the actual figures seen on the box art (>>11644850 and >>11644587) are unpainted; the painted version of the cat has some pink blush in it that's not seen in that image, so that's got to be how the assembled kit looks out of the box.
>>11645812how did you order them? from the official website? i thought you couldn't order those if you live in the States
>>11646742Hobbylinkjapan has them for order.
Saw this lot of accessories on ebay and I have these gloves too and dont know what they belong to.
>>11642796I forgot about the Sin City figures. Neat.

>>11643919Thanks for the (You).
>>11643490your left or my left?
>>11645956Left of my (You).
I found this little purple peice on the floor when looking for something else. Can't seem to place where it came from. Any ideas? I have SHF, Figmas, Snail Shell if that help
>>11645283A grenade pin
>>11645283Hear me out, it looks like its possibly an old-fashioned police stick thats not meant to be an accessory on its own but just meant to clip onto a belt and the ring is hinged so that it can move to accommodate articulation if that makes sense.
>>11645283Looks like a Star Wars or fantasy toy related chain pin. The peg into the wall, than connect the chain in the clip.
I thought it was one of the handles to the door on Shrek's outhouse. It's about the same size.
>>11645283Is it possibly a tool to adjust eye position in a figure's faceplate?
>theyre bringing back POTF2 proportions on darth vader Welcome back 1995!
>>11645665I'm happy to say that I have not seen that, but steroids definitely do create creepy clit dicks.
>>11644848I really think we should just be 3D printing our own ships nowadays, they were always too expensive for what they were and the shapes are perfect to come out of a printer without any problems.
>>11646533Yes, because you can definitely model, 3d print, clean up/sand, and paint a ship that'll look at least as good as the official ones and do it for less time money and /or time
>>11642575>>11644103That's also due to having lots and lots of collectors hording them up back then too. Loads of guys bought up whole waves of those things assuming they would eventually become millionaires off their collections.
>>11646685One of the saddest sights is this large estate sale store in my town, it's basically a store filled with loads of old antique merch and furniture from everyone's dead elderly relatives. And every so often there will be a huge haul of perfect in box figures coming in. I realize each time it's some collector died and the family sold off their stuff to these guys. Lots of late 90s Star Trek, Power of the Force, Episode 1, and Hotwheels.

>>11647510Is this gonna be the first stuff you're purchasing? DranBrave and PerseusDark are both fairly meh and you can get the TT offical stadium from amazon US now, so I'm not sure I'd recommend the battle entry set, likewise for a string launcher you could just grab the Hasbro red PhoenixWing that comes with the string launcher and get a good bey with it.I guess the big upside to the battle entry set is getting a couple winder launchers with it, but at that point I'd at least recommend the U set since you get a WizRod and 1-60 out of that.
>>11647524Wizrod is out of stock everywhere, and if I buy on ebay or amazon, the shipping is horrific. If I do see it in a ship, I will definitely be picking one up. The reason I opted for the entry set was because the other stadium options I have available are the green hasbro one, the super expensive motorised one, and the hasbro one that comes with the mammoth bey. Again, amazon and ebay aren't really an option due to the ridiculous shipping costs and currency conversion. Phoenix wing does look cool, but I'm not too keen on the coloured metal beys because the paint will eventually chip off and look bad. This is the main reason why I reluctantly passed on getting the dranzer, drigger, draciel, and dragoon beyblade x versions.
>>11647536>Wizrod is out of stock everywhereWhat do you mean, I was talking about buying the TT Battle Entry Set U instead of the C one, that set comes with WizRod as one of the beys. Where were you planning to buy the battle set from?
>>11647750Its actually bloody difficult to find any physical shops that stock the proper stadiums. The only TT stadium I can get is the entry set C. I had a look at the green hasbro stadiums, but they're so cheap and flimsy. They also don't have a cover, so I can't see that getting the seal of approval from the wife if I want to buy it for my son.
