>>11854726I used it a lot for old loose Zoids parts, until I discovered gorilla mounting putty
>>11856256They used graphite to color the webbing during production
>>11856366what like mixed into the rubber?
>>11855525>>11856131I mean, this (not mine, but someone on the Joe's Gen) is all just moving gear around and subbing heads, which is pure kitbash, unless you start to do painting and flesh tone matches, which the dude, to be fair, may have done, but I personally would consider it appropriate to post on this thread. I was already working on something like this with the camo head from the current movie and trying to see what can be subbed from both lines and elsewhere. I also have some fantasy figures I want to try some Classified gear or Marvel Legends weapons and gear - and especially some of the comically oversized McFarlane weapons, like that Frankenstein gun, and just ordered a Mattel movie figure from the 2017 Wonder Woman movie. It was only $10 bucks remaindered at Walmart, which fits my fodder buck budget, to give me a female body to go with the male body I already have fodder parts for.But if I like how these all end up looking, I might try the OP suggestion of looking for cheap KO fantasy figures for fodder bodies to do an entire shelf's worth of display characters. Kind of like a nuclear holocaust middle ages. >>11856242>>11856285>pretty impressive>>11856267>should be a gunmetal colourI agree it looks good, it's often hard to tell by himself and it might get less shiny with age and "shelf-wear" - I'm about to try panel lining a cheap spare Peter B I got at a Ross, but I am using the fine point Sparky because after a month of searching, I could not find a fucking alcohol or metallic, gundam or gundam-equivalent marker in hand that had a fine enough point. And enough people were saying on the ML Gen that they had just used the fine point Sharpie and to just add a finish coat so it wouldn't smear and be even more permanent.
>>11856354museum putty (which you can find at Lowe's and home depot) is also great for more permanent (but still not true fixes), but VERY sticky. I use cheap office supply blu tack putty or the cheap 3M or generic brand poster adhesive you can get at Staples or Target for most everything else.PICREL has both arms broken off, and poster adhesive is what I use, for display posing. Obv it needs a permanent fix, which I have been too lazy to attempt - since no one really offers one good solution, particularly for these older DC Direct type ABS plastic figures.
Found this burried in my garden, anyone know what toy line it's from?I'm guessing something Planet of the Apes related.
>>11851718Pretty sure its Robbie Williams
>>11851718Yeah it's from the 2001 Tim Burton movie, but it doesnt look like anything from the hasbro line. My initial guess was some fast food tie in from the movie but the only place that had planet of the apes premiums was KFC Mexico.
>>11851718General Thade from POTA based on the armor
>>11851835You're right, it's one of the four KFC Mexico figures.
How come nobody talks about Webkinz on /toy/? Did nobody on here have one as a kid? It was HUGE. I knew many who had Webkinz.
>>11843212My dad used to mock me and call me a faggot for owning a rainbow rabbit webkinz
>>11846583Ganz is unironically a horrible jew company and the new game and toys are a much bigger scam
Ugly
>>11843212They were fun I had like 50 of them
Golly, musta been like... twenty years ago that me and my sister were playing that webkinz game. She got the cheeky monkey from a friend and that's how I got interested in it as well, picked up the chihuahua despite not really liking chihuahuas. If I still had him I'd get a little sombrero and poncho.

>>11854615I thought they'd have the Doctors out
>>11857245Same, not even proto body sculpts without joints is concerning. Are they just gonna do monsters first like Jada's Scooby Doo line? Or maybe it’s pending likeness rights or something with the actors

Do Americans have these fucking things? They're called Ooshies, they're small rubbery pencil topper type things. They started off being given away at Woolworths then they started showing up at regular retail. There is no game or action features, nothing but just these... things.Woolworths only carries the ones based on Disney owned properties, but they make characters from other companies for retail lines. I don't hate them, but I do think they're kinda pointless and a waste, I also think kids don't give a shit about them at all because a couple weeks after the initial craze they started clogging up toy sections at thrift store.
>>11849975Super Hero Squad. I'm right there with you on Imaginext. It saddens me to see how badly Mattel's let the entire brand just sort of slide into obscurity. I rarely even see the DC stuff now, it's largely just Jurassic World nowadays. I also still consider Playmobil the most heinously underrated toyline of the last few decades. Just a shame how things work out sometimes.>>11850010That's not the issue at all. The actual problem is how low effort the dogshit made for "them" is. That's why they dont care about toys anymore. Everything is some flavor of funko pop or lego.>>11850087Agreed. Nobody gets Apocalypse's face right anymore. It's been a major problem since the mid 2000's.
>>11850331I hadnt even considered this but you're right on the money. The same will be true of that marvel line rotting in ollies right now. I dont get why they dont settle for a sturdier keshi rubber .
>>11850334>They're good for the intended audience of like 3 year oldssetting the bar VERY high I see
>>11850568I'm setting the bar literally where it's designed to be for these toys. They're designed for pre-schoolers, so they have rounded friendly designs and they are durable. The fact that it lends them a sort-of chibi desk toy appeal that adults can enjoy is just a bonus. The best part is they aren't cheap disposable shit made out of soft rubber or brittle plastic.
>>11849627We've had lumps of plastic 'collectible' trash for ages. Monster in my Pocket, Trash Bag Bunch, Trash Pack, Polly Pocket, Littlest Pet Shop, Crazy Bones, arguably Funkos. They're dirt cheap to make and don't require any articulation engineering. You just hope some squeaker on YouTube causes them to become a fad.

>>11857242The only one throwing a tantrum has been you. You got BTFO'd instantly and you're still unable to understand why you're wrong. Sucks to be you.
>>11857250The only one that got BTFO'd was you. You tried to claim that the figure was made from parts that already exist. Nothing you say is right. Nothing you say can be trusted.
>>11857250>You got BTFO'd instantlycan you post where that happened or prove anything you've said? because it sure looks like you got proven wrong and all you've done since is shitpost and troll. do you even buy toys?
>>11857308It is made from existing parts. Not only that but the construction is the same between legions to allow for the part swaps. Moron. It is not an early prototype, and you not knowing that is laughable.>>11857436Sup shitposter, you have no reason to be here.
>>11857308>The only one that got BTFO'd was youNo, that would be you. On two lines no less.
Is buying the CoolProps Thomas even worth it? I'm kind of a die hard fan of Thomas & Friends. The teal edition that released this year is on doorzo for $6,500 and it's unironically one of the rarest pieces of Thomas & Friends merch that exists. The normal one without Annie and Clarabel costs $1,950 on doorzo. I'm thinking maybe I could by a bachmann ho scale teal and normal thomas model and buy the kato face pack to slap on the models and call it a day. But I don't know I've always wanted a replica of the TV series prop since I was a baby so I don't know. Iv'e always worried about making a 3d printed version because I live in a very hot climate and fdm can warp.
>>11845833This but unironically. You will benefit greatly and will have way more satisfaction having actually built something yourself. Buy a car for the difference in price, idk
>OP wants a screen accurate prop>anons suggest 3d printing lol sure is poorfag on here, as usual
>>11845637In a similar boat to OP, except I don't care for the LBSC Thomas. I was considering buying the $2k regular Thomas a year or two ago, but never did. Someone had one new in box within my country and would have worked out about 10-20% cheaper than buying it brand spanking new from the website, but eeeeh didn't really want to dump that much into something which isn't 100% absolutely perfectly accurate. Like I'm not rich, but I have manchild disposable income on tier with furries, but I'm too much of a jew to really splurge on shit.I wanted to get into 3D printing myself so was considering making my own, as I've seen many people do, but again it probably won't be perfect either so I don't know.I'd really like if Bachmann would release dummy/roller/static versions of their N scale range, as they seem to be the most accurate "cheap" model one can buy. I found my childhood collection of ERTL toys, (which I strongly preferred over the Tomy Plarail range as a kid), as they were more accurate, but yeah the scales are all over the place, that's why I feel like Bachmann dummy locos for <$50 a piece would be the perfect model range for Thomas and co.
I give up on this. It's not worth it anymore.
>>11848023The OP post is literally about whether it’s worth spending that much, that’s going to naturally lead to people talking about cheaper alternatives. One guy even mentioned buying replica castings from the screen used faceplates.

The fully custom one from the Ray Studio video is quite beautiful as well, wish something like that existed officially.
this is going to be interestingI'm going to build next the Sinanju Red Comet 3rd party kitbut I also got for it the diecast inner frame and I'm suprised by how easy to assemble it has been so far, compared to the one made for the MG Strikebarely halfway and already feels chunkier than most Metal Build figures
>>11854037It's a beautiful design, that much can't be argued. Its only real flaw is that the show's writer is a hack who relies too much on overdramatic bullshit.
>>11854063I want to grab a red comet, I heard it's ridiculously complex.Couldn't be any more complex than Osiris though.
I saw a silhouetted video from premium bandai on Youtube and confused it with the G-Self. It had a large RG behind it. Got excited for a second...
Let's have a thread about playsets!
Here's two more that I have.
I had this one too. Loved the lil AT-ST. You could pop its "head" off to make it battle damaged.
>>11852557Right but we were talking toys>>11852560That's depressingly undersized. I get large playsets havent been a thing in years but at the very least I'd have expected something the size of the 2012 tmnt sewer lair.
EVERY kid I knew (but me) in the 80’s and early 90’s had that Ghostbusters fire house.Also the 1989 TMNT Sewer playset.
>>11855449Still have just about all my micro machines, plus some more I randomly found at a garage sale or two (all those Desert Storm ones notably). Also had the oversize Humvee that came with a micro version of itself, can see the latter at the top in green.

>>11857515I dunno, the Fail of Cybertron shit design raised the bar pretty high on hollow Swindles. You'll have to come back missing at least twice as much as that for me to even see something amiss.
>>11857405Jews go to Valhalla?
>>11857515>>11855491Preordered it...and im a poorfag (i have just 500 bucks left).i'd rather have Vortex and Swindle and probably will finish Bruticus someday. than miss Swindle and will be left out...I know it's a bad decision but...what else i have... there is no other choice.
>>11857439>especially because his TM toy is one of the coolestYeah, he, Megatron, Tarantulas,Terrorsaur, Rattrap, and (surprisingly) Waspinator had some of the coolest Transmetal toys of the bunch. In comparison, I never really cared for Cheetor's, felt Airazor's was kinda lame, and thought Primal's had a bit of a lackluster transformation (though it looked cool and is definitely my preferred version of the character). Pretty much all of the TM2s were awesome, though.
>>11857405Okay anon you just made me snicker on several counts. I'm imagining nebbish jewish vikings now.
I've reached a point in my plastic addiction where I have enough named characters and now I want some generic archetypes that are good/modern quality (pinless joints, face printing, etc.),1/12 scale, and are actually generic without some distinguishing/unique design element or paint scheme. I am kind of surprised such a toy line doesn't exist, it feels like a big market that's missing. You could have themes likeReal world heroes>firefighter>astronaut>police officer>doctor>scientist>scuba diverHistorical figures>pirate>cowboy>viking>samuraiComment too long.

>>11850397The cops are alright but they really should have just made them full on swat team members instead of the weird in-between beat cop and swat/riot gear cop
>>11850397>firefighter is very much a generic firefighterI thought you meant the mostly red guy but I was trying to find where an accessory I got came from and ran across him on Walmart. It is a neat figure, one I wouldn't mind owning, but I'm not going to get raped by a Walmart marketplace scapler for something that probably didn't sell that well on store pegs in the first place.
OP, you're thinking of Big Bad Toy Works ''NPC'' line
>>11850397What we all wanted
>>11855601this figure is okay, the torso joint is totally worthless thoughyou also can't really swap other heads onto it unless they're from other figures in the line
I have become obsessed with the figures that come with the Star Wars Micro Galaxy Squadrons vehicle lineI don't give a fuck about the vehicles themselves, I'm simply infatuated with scaling down a realistically proportioned and articulated figure into something so tiny and collectableAny other toy lines feature one inch figures like these?
>>11851577china
>>11851577Genuinely asking, do people still not know how to use their phone to AI scan a photo and have it search for the exact thing and where to buy it? Like every single android and iPhone can do that for the past year at least.
