>>11659879At least it means the MGS Delta figs could turn out good. Even if they may be delayed.
>>11659883And then the whole top should be soft goods and at this scale when you get sleeves involved the end result will look silly. The vests on Genos and Luke are pushing the limits already.
>>11659879>technology overall improvedThe technology hasn't improved since the 00s when LEGO first started using it.All it is is a sticker that's placed over the area, heated and pressed.How good or bad it looks is entirely up to the designer who created the design. If their art style is shit, it'll look like shit. It's entirely a stylistic choice, for better or worse.Bandai when they first started used it as a replacement for paint apps. So it can look pretty shit since the print is pretty low res. This is why companies like DC Direct and Hasbro used the print as a supplement to actual paint apps.
>>11659883That’s a fair point. The other option could be a small joint like what was used for scarves/long fabric on figures like Vash or Psylocke, but that would have also been a bit odd.
>>11659620>original Figuarts ChunHow do they compare articulation wise? Slightly more articulated I assume.
Previous thread>11654157
>>11659554He could barely fucking move so I'm not expecting the figure to be able to do much.
>>11659572Buying toys as an investment is never a good idea. That said, almost all soft vinyl/sofubi are made in limited runs and generally go up in value over time. The maker matters less than how many were made in a run and how desirable the mold or colorway is.I have several from Marusan, Marmit, Bullmark and Gigabrain. I personally like the Marmit sculpts the best, but its all personal opinion. Soft vinyl is made to "look cool" and that's it. Base your entire decision to get one on how you think it looks, not how much it might eventually be worth. Keep the header from the bag and you can sell it later if you choose.
>>11659890>Buying toys as an investment is never a good idea.I know, but seeing the prices of some of the brands you listed make me want to consider it because damn some of them fetch a pretty penny, and doesn't help either this video may of been the reason why I kind of want to get into this game https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5neRq6wZodo&t=49s
>>11659930Some toys can appreciate in value quite a bit, but remember, you still have to be able to actually find a buyer willing to pay you. This means going to a swap or convention, or more likely using ebay. Toy buyers on ebay can be some of the absolute worst people on earth to deal with. You will get harassed and scammed at every opportunity. If you want to collect a toy, collect it for yourself.. not to sell it later.
>>11659961Well a part of me wants to at least own something I know for a fact is like a one of a kind figure or close to it that at least some form of value down the line.
Hi /toy/, I have a 25" NECA Balrog from 2004 and over the years it has started to warp and loosen up at the leg joints under its own weight. I'm wondering what would be the best way to keep this thing standing.>drill peg holes into bottom of feet and create a stand that keeps the legs from spreading apart>glue all leg joints (the articulation here is pointless anyway)>heat gun to attempt to fix the warped tail and/or warped legAny ideas?
>>11659373You've been trolling everybody in this thread that has an unfavorable opinion about the Balrog for days. You've been trolling the entire board all Christmas because you are sad and miserable. Don't pretend to be the victim now because you got some clapback on one of your shitty trolling attempts.
>>11659382>anyone who disagrees with me is a troll, and my opinion of everything I hate being shit is absolute!You are such a miserable person. It really is a good toy, and it's worth fixing loose joints to. And even the best-quality toys do get loose joints. You're acting like that's something exclusive to NECA while selectively ignoring that the toy is nearly a quarter-century old.
>>11659374>But you're ONCE AGAIN doing that thing you do where you decide that your opinion is how everyone should feel about a given item.I'm not the one attacking people because i disagree with their opinion. I'm telling the person attacking me that he is a miserable sack of shit. The person that, FOR ABSOLUTELY NO REASON, decided to tell me I'm full of shit because my experience with the figure matched someone else who had issues with it.
>>11659382You really need to get off the internet. It's rotted your brain.
>>11659385shut up man

Random part count growing greatly, what weird parts have you picked up anons?
>>11658947Never.
>>11658117Please explain how that instagram(?) post is related to Bionicle. If it's a code name for a fan project or something I'm not familiar with it and I seriously doubt they're going to officially add Bionicle to Fortnite.
Who is the most unlikable Bionicle character?>hard mode: No antagonists or Ahkmou
>>11659306No weird parts, only weird setsI'm stoked to put it to use
Just wanted to say that finally nintendo started caring and randomly put dozens of official plushes on their store in europe. I just bought a few, are they made with good quality? They are pretty cheap, 35€ for a giant kirby
>>11651637I know the build-a-bear Sanrio plushes have longer arms and legs than their usual designs. Their Kuromi also has a plush tail, and she has the usual seam on the back but no zipper.
>>11655325Thanks, this is the one I was looking at.
I keep seeing these 'RollyPet' plushes at stores and thinking I might get one. I eventually saw one that I couldn't resist, pic related.
>>11657746I love it. I want to squish it. Excellent choice anon
I love my Blue Archive plushes.
I didn't see any foty threads so I thought I would make one myself hope that's ok >.<Feel free to post your top figure(s) and discuss other anons'. I picked 5 for myself but you can pick more or less. These are probably my favorites from the year in order from 1-5>1. Black Series AnakinLong over due but wait was worth it. He is really well designed and face likeness is easily one of the best, if not the best in the line. I am sad I couldn't get the SDCC Mustafar duel set with the extra heads and hands but even without them he is fantastic.>2. S.H.Figuarts Romance Dawn ZoroZoro is really fun to pose. Double knees would have been nice but even without them you can get him into a lot of cool poses. >3. Figma LaiosIdk I just like Laios and I'm glad they are making Dungeonmeshi figures. They will make for nice comfy displays and I am looking forward to the rest.>4. S.H.Figuarts Rei AyanamiThis one surprised me how much I like her. She has really good articulation and all the joints feel nice and smooth. desu I am an Asuka fag and don't really even care that much about Rei so I might have put Asuka on the list instead but I won't be getting her before the year ends.Comment too long.

>>11658643I haven't opened any of the toys I bought this year. I think it's over for me I just don't care anymore.
>>11659698…actually, I need to seriously revise this. I was just looking back through my albums after realizing Rebecca Aster was released this year and damn. I gotta include some other guys.
>>11659860>I haven't opened any of the toys I bought this year. I think it's over for me I just don't care anymore.Yeah, honestly, I haven't been buying figures like I used to this year and a lot of what I did buy were statues or backtracking on older figures. The few actual 2025 figures I bought I haven't gotten around to opening yet.
>>11659856I've seen a lot of people putting Quinn Lee in their top figures for this year. I'm not familiar with Street Fighter so I didn't get her but I did preorder the blank which I'm looking forward to after hearing how good that sculpt is.
These are the figures I ejoyed the most this year, snail shell and blokees are just dunking over anything else in their respectives price ranges
What is there even to say about bionicle, except that it was intended as a 3 year theme, that quickly ballooned out of control?Why did we do a 2 year flashback arc?did the guy who wrote it really know the whole thing was a robot from the beginning? if thats true how would the end of year 3 had been changed?why is Makuta Mata Nui's brother, when the two are completely different species?is the red star really supposed to be a failed organ transplant?what happened on the southern islands, and why is it so mysterious?why was the mask of time and light so important? we shift all their power of to the mask of life, during ignition anyway.What was the glatorian reboot supposed to accomplish, if it carries all the baggage from ignition?
>>11651202
Did anyone else just like bionicles without the lore? like my favorite concept of them was just a bunch of robots waking up on an island. It was fun and mysterious; I'd see a cool scene from a commercial and that's all I ever needed.
>>11651846I am sure people liked toys as toys
Someone explain Bionicle to me. I'm looking for pure 2000s feel. What should I watch? I think I don't want a summary but rather see/read the entire thing. What have I gotten myself into?
>>11651865I know a lot a trannie fags like it. Other than that, It is pretty cool.
Show me your dollhouse. Pic related, it's my dollhouse before I turn it into something worth owning.
>>11659258It needs stairs so they can get up to the upper level. Also decorate it with art. People do make mini-paintings.
>>11659371Oh, it's not staying the way it is now. I have much more expensive and better dolls and furniture to put in it. I also have big plans for lights and exterior work to make it look like the home alone house

one thing I don't like about Tokullectibles is how long they send out the deposit reminders. I wish there was another way to do it outside of the email reminders
>>11658174i guess the suit design cheats too hard for it to be feasible at the price. its a shame though, it'd be a great little transformer if they put the work in
>>11659256It doesn't need to be perfect. There are TF that have similar treatment of bike parts and they look humanoid enough. Arms from splitting the seat is common for motorcycle TF too. I think it's doable unlike Auto Vajin's arms.
Have you guys had any negative experiences with Rider Figuarts in B+ condition off Amiami? I noticed quite a few ones I want have been going up for pretty great prices these past couple weeks, but I only got into Rider SHFs recently and they've all been A condition. I'm aware of what each grade means of course, but "opened with no damage visible" on non-SHF B and B+ stuff I've ordered in the past has ranged from "clearly opened once and never touched" to "clearly played with and put back in the box" for me, so I'm curious. Yes, I know it's very autistic.
>>11659689B+ is really good. amiami's really good about grading their stuff well. you really only get into 50/50s with C

>>11659259Do you have link to a specific video? I found the RSC review but he didn't compare it to the Actic Gear RSC, he compared it to the Actic Gear Next Burglarydog which is significantly different from the regular Actic Gear Scopedog. However, I noticed that the lower torso hatch of the Toyrise opens, which Actic Gear doesn't do.

>>11652334Can somebody give me a link to a grass mat like the one in this nice photo? I've ordered like 5 of them on different places and they are always look so awful and fake on camera
What's kinda disappointing about the Black Suit Tsuna is that his Dying Will Pill canister is a pre-order bonus, itself a semi-iconic item because he uses it a lot more than Reborn shooting him.
I guess I'll repost my nendos here. I ordered Saya, so Madoka will finally have a logical pairing
Merry Christmas you filthy animals
>>11658144Money that I'm not going to spend on anything fun, it'll probably end up going to house stuff. I also got some chocolate, a Visa gift card, a Fallout t shirt, a couple pairs of sweatpants and Marvel Legends Maximum Deadpool. I was tempted to buy myself a ML X-Men 97 Sentinel but I can't bring myself to pull the trigger. I ended up spending like $35 ish on Steam games.
>>11658144Should I feel weird?
>>11658144Volumes 1 and 2 of the Superman Triangle Era omnibuses. Ombusai. Omnibus editions. I always had random issues as a kid so I've wondered my entire life what the actual storyline was up to the death and return arc.

Post action figures you used to fetishize as a kid
I scraped the paint off her tits (flesh colored mold), came on it then buried it in my backyard because I was embarrassed that I went through so much effort to see her naked.
>>11658013I like how Peter Pan has a jet pack with grappling hook. They knew how to accessorize a movie toy into something kids would want.
>>11658328I fanatically loved the movie Hook, so if they packaged a piece of shit with the Hook logo, I'd have wanted that too
>>11656768i'm still kicking myself for not picking this up mint in a bargainbin of my local toy shop years agothey became insane on the aftermarketand besides liking unreal tournament 2004 i would enjoy a (sloppy) 1/12 shock rifle
>>11654408OG Optimus. I was slightly too young to get into Transformers in it's heyday but I caught the show on reruns a few years later. My older cousin used to have a lot of the toys since he was the perfect age in the 80s to get them, but few survived his childhood.I used to really want an Optimus but they were not found any longer. My neighbors, these two girls somehow did have one in their pile of toys so I played with theirs for a while. I managed to grab the reissue one later on when Gen 2 came out.
>inb4 see you tomorrow Looking over the past year at the toys I’ve picked up and making my top 10 list, everything on it is objectively great engineering, articulation, paint, etc. But as I sit here looking at these figures, I feel nothing. Even picking them up and moving them around has about as much entertainment value as a fidget spinner after 30 seconds.I think it’s time for me to pack it in and sell everything, including my childhood toys. This isn’t a financial decision it’s a mental health one. Toys aren’t even an escape anymore they’re just another anxiety factor nowadays because you have to constantly be plugged in just to have a chance to give these corporations your money.I don’t know what I’m going to do to pass the time. I’ll probably start working out daily again and getting back in shape. But I’d just like to thank all of you except Jarret. Suck my dick you fucking faggot. I hope the rest of you have a very Merry Christmas. Goodbye.

Why does everyone on this website have to trauma dump? Get a family.
While OP's obviously being melodramatic, really getting tired of some of these too cool for the room replies whenever topics like this come up lately. You're on a hobby board. Of course the focus is going to be on aspects of the hobby and wanting to talk to others that share it even if it's insignificant in the grand scheme of things. No one's here to discuss heavy shit like their struggles with cancer or nasty divorces.
>>11656611Good call anon, I am going through this myself. I'd usually prefer having space than a bunch of plastic junk that could go away with a house fire.
