fucking salty that GSC is releasing nendos I've wanted for a literal decade at the absolute worst time possible
>>11586154I know...
>>11580346besides steins gate Kyoma 2.0, what else got a reissue?
Asking for some help here. I'm working on a custom and still figuring out what parts I'll need. If anyone has these two, would you be able to show me this Captain America's face plates with this Thor's hair? Any Cap faceplate from this nendo would do, I just mainly want to see if Thor's hair is too bright blond for this beard.Thanks in advance
>>11588477Kasane Teto, Yui Hirasawa, Hitagi Senjogahara, Aigis, Panty and Stocking are the other 2.0 versionsPretty sure the two Mikus on the top row are rereleases

I dont know what it is, but toy collecting kind of sucks now. I find myself ordering stuff and then not really having time to enjoy what I buy.Imo there are a lot of factors.1. Prices are just higher, msrp wise.2. Shipping is higher3. Secondary market doubles or tripples price of anyyhing if you miss the boat.4. Toys you no longer want sell slow and ebay / sales taxes / shipping eat up a lot5. Companies double and triple dip now. Hasbro is the worst offender but Neca, super7, all do it. Like take bumblebee for example. How many variations did they release before releasing a normal yellow bumblebee? Three? Four? And even now they are about to release a 3rd or 4th seeker mold.6. Everyone is working more hours in this shit economy. Fewer hours at home to enjoy stuff. 7. All the older people in the family need constant help and attention. Every fucking weekend it would seem. 8. Too much stuff and its all expensive. There are what at least 4 companies doing offical tmnt stuff now? And Neca alone is doing cartoon, Archie comic, orginal comic and movie? And the main turtles in two scales? And its all $36 or more a pop?Comment too long. Click here to view the full text.
>>11589042>5. Companies double and triple dip now.Sure is newfagThis shit has been going on since the fucking 80s and 90s.>8. Too much stuff and its all expensive.Ooof, you really are a newfag, because there was waaaaaaaaaay more shit to buy in the 00s and 10s. I literally can not track everything i wanted back then when i was a poorfag. And when i had the disposeable income to pay for for the shit i do remember and still want, the prices are OUTRAGEOUS! And those prices became outrageous over a decade ago, because of how amazing those toys are.Even your complaint about the prices shows you're a newfag. We went from GI Joes being in two packs for $5-6 to them becoming $5 for a single figure from 2004 to 2007.Revoltechs and Figmas used to go for $24 back in the 00s and then jumped in price to $40-50 in less than 5 years.Marvel Legends went from $6 to $10 in less than 3 years AND their budgets were cut in half. Articulation and paint was noticeable enshitified in less than a year AND Hasbro actually killed the ML line from everyone not buying it.Economies getting fucked are a thing since fucking forever and now you're experiencing your first fuck over as an adult, newfag!
>>11590226What kind of prize do you get for being an old fag
>>11590300living when shit was cheaper, living in the wild west of the internet, living before karens started taking over the internet, living when kids were still allowed to go outside without a mask on, not getting arrested for being unaccompanied by an adult to a mall, having a career, seniority, and experience to not get laid off when shit goes down.But mostly owning more toys and experiencing /toy/ when it had a sense of community.That's the prize for being oldfag... buti guess it depends on the generation and years you were born. if i was 5-10 years older, i'd have been stabbed for leaving my house after dark. If i was even old enough to be a boomer... well, that's the golden age.
>>11590226I mean, OP's definitely valid on the prices at least. Just because they've spiked before doesn't make the insane prices hikes we've gotten recently easier to swallow. I've been collecting sixteen years. I was getting imports for $30-40 when I started in the late 2000's/early 2010's. I was getting Berserk, Attack on Titan, and Fate Figmas, among others, for around $40 shipped from Amiami back in 2014. By the time I was picking up the Persona 5 Figmas in 2018-2020, it was more like $60-70. Now we're looking at around $100+ after shipping unless it's a rerelease or a simpler figure.Figma was one of the first to really start getting out of control, but we're seeing similar price hikes in all import lines. Worse, and something OP didn't even mention, it's now more prudent to wait for reviews because pre-ordering's become a gamble with QC or scale issues. Do newer figures look and articulate better than figures from a decade ago? On average, yeah. Are they worth 2-3x the price? Imo, not really. Just glad I have a mostly complete collection at this point and am cooling off on the hobby. I'd hate to be starting out now.

You've never had a figure this cool or this Jewish since
Odd question but this seems like the time/place to ask. As I kid I had the electronic Bull T-Rex toy and it came with this dude in a cage that it could swallow. Was this supposed to be a character from the movies? If not, who is it? I've been wondering for a few decades now.
>>11590272He was just a random figure meant for the Bull to devour. I do remember a jptoys review saying he has a passing resemblance to Mike Meyers lol.
>>11585284God how I hated the human "good guys" in JP3.InGen was far more likeable specially the T-Rex hunter. I wish he had his final showdown with meth T-Rex in the city.
>>11590364Fuck, I mean JP2: the lost world.Getting old sucks.
>>11590272From my experience, randos are usually based on someone working at the toy company
Did anyone else pick up any of the Sonic x DC figures yet? My Target had all of them except Amy and Shadow.I only bought Silver but I might get all of them now since he's really cool.
Went back to Target today to see if they put out WW Amy and HOLY SHIT!!!!!! The first new 4" I've seen in 2 years!!!I don't even like Trip but I'll still get her because I'm fucking starving over here..... vgh....
Also they put out a bunch more DC figs. Only the 2.5" Superman/Knuckles 2 pack was sold out. So I got Sonic and Amy. Also I didn't realize Shadow didn't come in a single pack yet so I have the whole first wave of the 5" now.
>>11586122im one of the lucky ones completing this line. Saw a Big Pecky at Gamestop and just got that too last week. It's all impulsive because it's the cheapest toyline out there right now. Only character i don't have is Mephiles, but I don't really want one
I posted this in the DC thread but I'll leave it here too.I got the Sonic x DC 4 pack today, as well as the Shadow/Batman 2 pack which I'll probably leave sealed. Honest thoughts on the 5" 4-pack figures:>Physically feel amazing, high quality>The moment they're in your hands they fall apart>Different arms and legs of all three sonic characters started falling out and felt slippery to click back in>some fall right back out after putting them back on>One character's hand wouldn't swivel and I had to twist it which almost snapped the hand off the wrist (didn't want to boil or use hair dryer, I was still in my car in the parking lot)>Darkseid is great for what it's worth, good articulation and little flawsToo bad I dont give a fuck about himAlso Shadow's chest is massive and it is kinda off putting. He also has slightly less shoulder articulation than Sonic and Silver. Their bodies look and feel so good, it's a shame the limbs crumble off even worse than jazwares. It wasn't even just unattached, Sonic's leg joint itself actually opened up fully and I had to push it back together

>>11590573Should eventually try modeling some of my own because lol, weird funny weapons, swinging the chain
>>11587821iirc the piraka spine/ tail is due to some other creature attaching themselves to the spines of skakdi, it's native to their island but doesn't exist outside of it since vezon never went to the home island, he never got the spine
>>11590599that's so gay, I hate gregshit so much
what's up with people on ebay selling really common parts for exorbitant prices? guy selling G2 masks for 10 bucks
>>11590599Thats a shitty reason, just saying that Vezok took the spine in the divorce would be better

>>11588009I guess it means the demographics for people who online shop at launch and people who buy when they feel like it are different.
>>11591210Is this a real pic? They look like they're just floating on the table.If real I'm surprised the new mold doesn't share the same size creep we've been seeing in other 86 figures lately. I actually prefer this because if they do Sunstorm I can grab him and he won't look too out of place with my ER seekers.
Am I doing something wrong, or does Sideways' shield thing not actually tab in where it looks like in vehicle mode?
>>11591258Between the price hikes and talks of serious global war, his hobby doesn't have much longer.
>>11591231Impossible because those look molded. I was pointing out how the sides of the window frames are the same color as the windows
What smells do you associate with different Sanrio characters?For instance:>cinnamoroll: burnt marshmallow with a hint of talcum powder >little twin stars: Mac and cheese with dryer sheets or chlorine pool smell>pompompurin: Flan and browned butter with sweet coffee>kuropi: Apple juicebox and cut grass

Robot toys discussion and pictures hereThe last robot damashii thread has died a couple days ago and no new one has been made. MRD Lupus Rex is getting a retail re-release (april 2026), pre orders sold out insanely fast. I'm assuming it has better tolerances than its first run. MRD Marchosias was teased too.
>>11587483One of the tamashii stage act, they're in stock on HLJ. Or a chink base off aliexpress with the same peg diameter. Gunpla action bases work too

I was going to make a card bot thread but I was too lazy and dont know shit about them. These look cool as fuck and I totally missed out on these because I never knew where to get Korean toys. Any cardbot guys here? Did the line get even cooler?
>>11588801The one on the left looks cool. There's one burger shop that has POs for them, rest is all ebay, amazon, aliexpress. Aliexpress is probably a good place to get them if you're not in burgerland
I don't collect figurines so I have no clue what brand is the best at the moment. There have been many entries to the franchise by now but I am looking for the original from the first movie. I know with these things the sky is the limit so I am looking for something that is/was widely available and under $200. It's for display so movie accuracy and detail is most important. I am not in a rush so I am willing to wait for an upcoming release if it's worth it.
>>11587958NECA
>>11588560Really?This is stylised and incredibly inaccurate
>>11588013>The Mafex is by far the most accurate, articulated Big Chap you can currently buy. I’d recommend that one.This.
>>11589827Don't listen to this tard
>>11589891The NECA figure is inaccurate, that’s a fact.

>>11585285Red and blue are much the same, though their flavour of schizo omits the Desert Storm guys in favor of a couple WW2 Brit 8th Army types, fittingly enough.Pretty good set overall, lots to enjoy though would be better appreciated as an add-on to existing armies rather than a starter set.
>>11583236Just wanted to punctuate this, got the delivery today(!) and they didn't just send me the missing piece... they sent an entire extra accessories pack. What can I say, Timmee is awesome.
>>11586716>Timmee is awesomeIndeed! They've even brought back their Daniel Boone/Davy Crockett frontiersman figures for a limited-time bag. I'm thinking about getting one for Christmas to go with my CTS Mohawk warriors for some Creek War or Boonesboro fun.

>>11590656Are they all different versions? I think SHF has the best "ugly" SS4 face and I believe is slightly buffer, DF being taller scales better in my mind, and BHT having more flush colours might fit what GT would look like without film degradation.
>>11591271Nope all 3 are official, but middle is using DF arms and right is standing on DF rock. The DF I ordered was missing the smirking face when I took this pic, but since then the AE seller sent it to me, so I am using the SF face plate on the official head and it fits perfect.
>>11591286>SF face plateI mean DF
>>11591271Another SS4 goku day 1 collector here, akshually there are differences in the Gokus they released, back when they first released i grabbed 2 off of amiami and a year later when the reissues came i ordered 2 again via tamashii france and let me tell you, the reissue ones appear of lower quality than the day 1 units, at least paintjob/plastics wiseThe day 1 units faceplates for example have a matte look and appear closer to actual skin whereas the reissue ones have a cheap looking glossy plasticky look to themAlso some of them are more prone of falling apart/losing limbs than others it really is weird. Later i also got the DF version and let me tell you that one is a bit larger than the official ones but the hair and paintjob and faces just look a bit more accurate to the source material than the official ones (there are also Youtube videos that compare those directly)In general this discovery let me to always order reissues of my favorite figures as soon as they appear on amazon just to compare the quality to the original release and to help me decide which one to keep and which to send backThere was a similar story to the LSS Goku and the SS Trunks that had unnamed fixed issues that the original releases had
>>11591289To add to that i will also grab multiple of the new SS fighter of rage goku and only return once SS4 Gogeta is finally released and then abandon this shitty line for good.The Dragonball IP is dead and buried and Toriyama only made daima to piss on his fans one last time before he peaced out.

>>11588542>>11588543>>11588544Can't wait to see where this goes. You know what you have in mind for the end result?
>>11589008Yes. It's a wagon version of Small Bloc which is meant to be a pinewood derby muscle car. I don't believe either are actually related to Fast Fish/Drift 'n Brake though.
>>11589053>Small Bloc which is meant to be a pinewood derby muscle car.Yeah, the illusion has been lost on a lot of the repaints that don't carry over the all-wood coloration. That said, as someone who made it all the way to Eagle Scout, an actual pinewood derby car would have been open-wheeled, and had black plastic wheels. Kind of a shame they passed on the opportunity, given how rare any open-wheeled casting is.
>>11588922That's rad. I really need to go to my parents and dig out all my old shit. There's gotta be at least two or three shoeboxes full up in the attic.Here's so old MBX stuff salvaged from a house fire at my Aunt's though. It's kinda hilarious how much better this Beetle casting is than their current one.
>>11588542>>11588543>>11588544nice! Always love seeing customs. Be sure to share the final product.>>11588597There's a zamac version of that Jag that looks awesome, and I'm kicking myself for not looking harder for it when I nabbed the zamac Volvo 240 from Wal-Mart. I didn't realize the zamac versions were Wal-Mart exclusives. I went back two days later and everything was cleaned out by scalpers.
