What's the smallest, most pathetic toy you begged your parents for growing up?
>>11645367I liked gumball machine toys. I don't know why. I just did. They're a niche-market collectible today, but there's still a collector's market for them.
>>11645367I desperately wanted these Darkwing Duck minifigures that were a mail-in offer from Kellog's, but it never happened. There was a huge pile of gravel in my backyard that we were going to spread for a new driveway, and for some reason I really wanted to play with these in that gravel. Like I was fixated on it for weeks.
>>11646020I'm not even mad cause I loved the books as a kid and was of the prime age demographic when the franchise began getting really big. I even had a lego set with the goblins, it was awesome. But this thing fucking sucks. They really went full Glup Shitto with the toys when the movies came out.
>>11645457Those are cool anon
>>11645367I resent this question, no matter how small or 'pathetic' a toy might seem to a douche bag like yourself it can still bring joy and adventure to the imaginative mind

>>11646771He looks more like Billy from Predator to me. >>11647060Tele-Viper
>>11646892Personally I don't like "action faces" on figures. I've hated them ever since a lot of Beast Wars toys had them, and the Star Wars Episode 2 figures were particularly ruined by them. >>11646825Its obvious all about Quick Kick with a Beach Head repaint tossed in.
>>11647150>Personally I don't like "action faces" on figures.I think having the option for more neutral/at ease faces along with more expressive faces is good.
>>11646825Im notIm gonna pretend it's a new character and display both at the same time
>>11646771.....it was dangerously easy to order that set. Like even Amazon gives you more chances to rethink your purchase. But too late to go back now!>>11646825I plan on seeing if that Oni face can fit on the Beachhead figure so I can use him as some weird Cobra of some kind. Unless he's got Joe emblems on his arms...then he'll just be a really weird new Joe. >>11647060G.I. Joe has been 1:12 for about five years and probably one of the best lines in the entire scale. Definitely worth jumping into this line, though some figures may be harder to obtain then others at this point.
Since netflix is going to buy warner brothers, does this mean Mcfarlane will get a chance to get the DC license back? Also with the Netflix money can he finally get that Spawn movie made?
>>11642619orange man is going to block it
>>11644502They are a brain rotted cult.You only need to read a few of the replies to your post to see this.
>>11644571You are picking out little pieces and making points unrelated to what I wrote. The person I replied to responded to someone typing "whore it out" and then tagging "Spinmaster;" the response was partially correct in parts but then added "tiny companies" and combined SM and MT like they were identical or essentially similar. My responses was regarding that, and I used DC as a point of reference since I am very familiar with Warner Consumer Products. I disagree with your points about Netflix being merchandising wizards. They haven't even managed to show that they could create something like the WB shop, which WB mostly failed to make into a common marketplace thing like Disney or LEGO did with their retail, but has still successfully merchandised WB licensed goods since the 1950s. Ditto Disney, which if you want to talk about a company knowing how to "maximize licensing" - they are it. I'm not going to get into a back and forth with you if you want to lick Josh Simon's balls and call Netflix brilliant, that's fine by me. But any industry trades that report on Entertainment, including the merchandising, and industry publications specific to licensing and merchandising all say things like: >Netflix's "subscriber total exceeds those of its competitors, including Disney+ and HBO Max, but it lacks the consumer products and experiences that other streaming platforms offer."
>>11645416>Disney, which if you want to talk about a company knowing how to "maximize licensing" - they are itIs that why star wars and marvel are dead?
Why can't boomers make up their fucking minds anymore? They can't take their internalized regrets and remain silent like rational adults.
i want more series of collectible toys that are just like thisyou can complete a set of things with the same color or the same shape and end up satisfied, but with completing the whole grid as the ultimate goal
>>11635132
>>11635132Check out Wendy’s kids meals.
>>11635132The only thing i remember is Monster in My Pocket.
>>11645522>hey're illegal everywhere now.Lol wut? You serious? Not where I live lmao. Only thing I know of that are illegal without a tax stamp or license of some kind are blue tip AP rounds.
>>11645521Thanks for the explanation, very interesting stuff
>>11645503> Speaking out of my ass here but i imagine its cuz they actually are trained with that sort of thing and dont treat them like toysMaybe well-to-do rural hunters think like this but for the average low IQ Cletus it’s more a matter of having just enough neurons firing to realize that bringing a gun into a situation almost always makes it worse. If you pull a gun on someone, best case scenario is the cops get called, you spend a night in jail, and your criminal charges go nowhere. Worst case scenario could range from anywhere between going to state prison for life for shooting someone to death, provoking someone else to shoot you to death in self-defense, getting maimed by a stray bullet, maiming someone else with a stray bullet and paying hospital expenses out the ass, etc. Rural whites mishandle guns all the time. They just have enough of a functioning self-preservation instinct to keep them out of trouble most of the time.Black people don’t think about the future, though, they just see guns as problem solvers. Someone’s acting up, not doing what I want? Whip the Glock out. Situation gets worse? Shieeeet, man, I ain’t do nothing!
>>11639856Oola's fate was really heavy but it adds depth to a fictional universe to know that depressing shit happens. It's kind of cringe that some knee-jerking fanfic writer wrote a self-insert relative into the canon.>an anti-human activist who is consumed by the need to avenge Oola's senseless slaughterYeah, REAL subtle. Successfully trolled I guess.
>>11645767>It's kind of cringe that some knee-jerking fanfic writer wrote a self-insert relative into the canon.God, thats cringe. Reminds me of when they made tk-421 a flaming faggot even by my standards in some star wars book
I asked HLJ to ship some items on November 6th, but the order is still listed as pending. Is there something I have to do on my end to get them to ship it?
>>11636764Hlj is really getting worse and worse with time, I got a few things in PW and on Preorder but I'm bailing once all of that is shipped and paid for
They have a warning everywhere about everything taking much more time than before
>>11636764I've told this story in the figma thread but at least you're getting your stuff, they didn't even fulfill my 2b figma order 2 days after release, asked what's going on, they said there weren't getting any, they hadn't cancel my order so I asked nicely and to their credit they did Only for her to get in stock days later, oh well I had gotten it off amiami by then but still what a shit show
>>11636764Has anyone used their ECMS shipping option recently?
>>11636764It shipped!
Do they still produce the electric Thomas trains without the Disney/Paw Patrol faces? Seems like the classic looking shit is in rape-price territory
>>11640302The Plarail line still exists if importing is an option for you. I only have a few engines + 2nd hand track from FaceBook Marketplace. The new playsets are genuinely awful as the engines quite literally aren't designed to run on them properly, lots of derailments since their fronts aren't weighted.
>>11644481Damn, no more plarail in the states? Maybe when this tarriff shit calms down I can invest in it. I had those as a kid and they were awesome. The mattel line doesn't look bad at least.
>>11640302there are kid specific stores with less mass produced plastic garbage but it ain't cheap
>>11644786There's early Trackmaster aswell as Tomy, you can find loads of that stuff on eBay.
>>11644481Dremel the activation tab on the bottom off the new engines and they'll run on plarail track

Looks like another event on Sunday too. This will probably have physical samples of whatever it is they're showing tomorrow and maybe then some. This was the place where Steve Evans first revealed the cardbacks for Padme and Shaak Ti when they were showing off the Gunship
>>11647589>Gift the GalaxyOh yeah I forgot about that. Did they not do it this year because I think it was supposed to be weekly reveals on starwars.com
>>11647667They did it since every major retailer had banners and landing pages for it, but I don't think anything new actually came out in terms of toys. All we got were preorders for some reissues like Battle Damaged Grievous for Black Series
>>11647652Gay
>>11647061You genuinely are a dumbass if you don't know what's actually going on with the franchise, and has been since Disney bought it.
what is this pls ty
>>11645114I think that's the stand for the glider for Toy Biz Marvel Legends Green Goblin.
100% this OP, good eye anon

Since new Lego threads are currently forbidden, how about talking about compatible products like Cobi, Pantasy or Funwhole (who comes up with these names)?
>>11640171Built Qman, DK and Bluebrixx and pretty much all of them have the same problem: 99% of the parts are made of ABS with complete disregard of the function.Balljoint sockets and C-clips pretty much disintegrated after a week on the Qman set and the chains you had to put together yourself on the DK one were the most brittle plastic I've ever seen on a brickbuilt toy, made even better by having the link on the stud piece only being attached on one side so you can put the other chain link through it - take a wild guess what happens when you apply even the tiniest amount of force.
>>11640272>>11640733They seem to be stuck in limbo right now. Mattel has the wheel but is refusing to steer it. Only time will tell, either they will start releasing new products again or will completely ditch everything and only do cars.
>>11640798I still have to wait a month till I get mine, but I agree. I really like the previous wave as well, especially these two.
Tomica/Plarail is expanding make brick versions of trains and building. Too bad they are mostly plain bricks w/ decals.
>>11643841That's a bit too simplistic for my taste. Looks like the sets Lego did in the 70s. In my opinion Lego peaked in the the 80s and 90s (before SW), but sadly, most producers of decent bricks cultivate their own whales with overly huge sets.
What are some fuckups that toy companies have made, big or small? Can also be ones that you never see anyone else mention.
>>11644841Hell, ABS plastic in general.Whatever that shit they churn out these days is, it's definitely not what it's used to be in terms of durability.
>>11640552Dang, that is sad. I hope the ones wanting Tron figures eventually get good Tron figures.Their Rancor crowd funding was fumble after fumble. I think there is a two part video series going through everything they did wrong out there.
>>11633196They didn't give her bicep swivels.
>>11645982The double joints are also absolute shit.
>>11646874So that's how she forms the morph ball...

Happy Thanksgiving everybody, group hug?
>>11634326It do be like that for the rookie Gly-bro, a bit lost in the wilderness, it took me around two years from the time I heard about Glyos to actually pull the trigger on something, I'd occasionally visit the Onell store and it was either empty or had some weird looking shit there lol, but, hey it's an indie toy line, the creator is the one who's packing/sending the toy! in your case I'd check ebay, there's a lot of listings and some nice little bundles for sale.Don't worry about the angry fellas here, I think they get frustrated playing nice on other Glyos sites and unload as anons on innocent bystanders here. I used to post customs and stuff but sadly they just got in the way of their arguments, kek.
>>11633435Is glyos like some kind of bionicle?
>>11634744sorta-ish...it a bit harder to work with, but has more possibilities and gives fuller figures with more character imo
Glyos is kill also why the fuck I wait so long to post?
Anyone got Infinite pre-order shipping?
