>>11934736Yes, it has axles similar to an Autoworld or Greenlight model. The wheels don't touch the wells so it rolls pretty smoothly.
>>11934670made in the same factory
>>11934607>>11934608R33 Kaido is also ugly. However I love Kaido Silverado.>>11934670Mini GT is a brand, Kaido is a sub-line under it. Same how MSZ is a toy diecast brand but they have CCA sub-line for premium ones.
I do like Kaido's Fairlady but I'm also biased because the Fairlady Z/240Z is my favorite car of all time.

Hi all, we are back here again, Halloween coming up, lets get those spooky toys out and take some pics. Memorable mentions: Nurse dissecting a skeleton... I liked the picture and was wondering where all the blood went. Avengers Assemble! No more needs to be said. Conversing with Kong shot, the background looked great!House on desk, very impressed with the house, did you build that btw? Also Casey Jones looks so chill...Resident Rambo!Goku and Kong scratching their behinds, ha!Comment too long. Click here to view the full text.

Updated the office display
Odds we get a grader or steamroller in the new City construction style? Last steamroller was a shitty 4+ set in 2024 but I don't believe they've ever done a grader. Would love a paving machine but no chance in hell of that
>>11935796Steamroller would be cool, I could be wrong but I feel its mostly been cranes, digger and cement mixers recently
Got 5 pounds of bricks or so, randomised a bunch of parts but still found some good stuff it seems, got some octagons and other shit

man, how has ‘soth not been arrested yet for the shit he does
>>11927064The DC general is almost fucking unusable at this point. I'd hoped VF would fuck off when McFarlane stopped being able to make figures, but he has explicitly stated that he's just gonna keep posting pictures of his shitty display forever. The fact that he treats the general like his own personal live-journal and keeps posting off-topic toys should be enough to get him banned, but it never works.

>>11935905i referenced saiyan saga ocean dub, not funi. and japanese voices for dragon ball are fucking trash because everyone sounds the same. a conversation between 8 people just sounds like one person talking to themself. goku and gohan are literally voiced by the same old bitch and she doesn't even alter her voice between characters. it's shit and you have shit taste. but it's ok. it's your right to like garbage. not mad at ya.
>>11935687his face better not be this fucking glossy on the final version
>>11936050they never strictly focus on one part of the story at a time. we’re getting DBS figures mixed in with these new releases and even a random namek figure like recoome.
>>11935765The kai voice for freeza is incredible. Gohan and Bulma do sound like shit. Bulma's va sounds like shes using a different mic or something. From what I know she's a work place hag who got the Broly va fired over false allegations. I miss the old Broly voice so fucking much.

>>11933919curious, what would you use an ab crunch for? in my mind, the reverse one is more useful, for flying poses.
>>11933910People shit on Floro Dery for this, but for the requirements of TV budget animation it's reasonable. Having to have the animators constantly use circle templates to pencil and ink the wheels would've been hell on time constraints
>>11933994>"konnichiwa, dude!"
>>11934010>People shit on Floro Dery for this,Nah, what people "shit on" is the toys that try to copy Floro Dery's designs, because all it does is add extra steps and fake parts to make the toy look worse.It bothers me less now that we have Missing Link to uphold the other end of the scale, though.
>>11933913>The fact you used a Vampire Hunter D pic as a means to make people think you're into old anime instead of a classic transforming robot show like Combattler or Voltes speaks wonders, too.THANK you. Hate people who do this shit.
For me it was the SHF Ultraman Z Alpha Edge form. I don't have my copy with me at the moment, but I bought this initially because I wanted to use action figures as drawing references. It didn't work out well because the articulation isn't the best and I mostly draw hot babes anyway, so I guess it was just an excuse for me to buy a toy from a show I liked. What about the rest of you?
>>11929856Panty twink Zero > diaper boob light ZeroThis probably belongs in the hot takes thread but it's true
i am not proud about this.
>>11930618You should be, Kotal rules and McF's MK line was great.
Slowly picked up this line over several weeks, although I missed out on Red. Looking for that missing figure led me to eBay and Yahoo auctions to complete the set, for better or worse.
Had plenty of toys and even some of those early Play Arts Final fantasy 7 toys but I was not a collector I was just a kid, later a friend of mine brought a The Amazing Spider-Man 2 legends spidey to high school and was absolutely enchanted by it so I bought The Pizza Spider-Man like the best next thing >>11929450And this when it came out, I still have Warrior no longer have Pizza
For a few years now, action figures made by many Asian companies have been going out of their way to have the ugliest upper-leg articulation imaginable. What's confusing about this trend is that, rather than being some radical innovation, it's mostly just a regression back to the ugly spherical thigh swivel of old ToyBiz, Marvel Select, or early Marvel Legends figures. Putting articulation aside, from a sculpting standpoint, I find these designs hideous. It looks like the characters are sticking their legs inside a larger pair of legs. What's even dumber is that it makes no visual sense for the upper legs to go inside the lower legs. If anything, it should be reversed - large segments descending into smaller segments. If you want to see a proper implementation of this concept, check out the Nottaa NT-04 female body figures.The really unfortunate part for me personally is that Storm Collectibles switched to this hideous articulation scheme midway through their awesome Storm Arena toyline, even though they never used it before. While it can look okay with certain baggy fabrics, like Nash's or Gouki's (I still prefer the straight cut from the Ryu/Ken/Dan figures), it looks terrible on everything else. I've been waiting years for a company to make really nice and affordable 1:12 scale Darkstalkers and SNK figures. But that damn monkey's paw had to curse them with the worst legs I've ever seen. Even some domestic companies have been flirting with this articulation scheme (see the MOTU Chronicles Evil-Lyn above). Thankfully, Mattel wisely eschewed this scheme with their new DC collector's line. Hopefully it stays that way.What are your thoughts? Do you find this articulation scheme as off-putting as I do? What is your ideal leg articulation scheme?
>>11923770I'm not really seeing the issue. Are you upset that figures have cuts?
>>11931444Why does it look like the top pieces the thighs attach to are on backwards and that's supposed to be the back rather than the front?
>>11933562I think he's upset the cuts are abnormally shaped rather than straight lines
>>11929867It could be the case of you being used to the look of cheaper domestic figures so your brain interprets them as the "correct" design.
>>11935602Imports also just had normal cuts until this new wave of weird designs
The Toybiz Bat cave is probably the best Bat cave to date.

Why come DC can't have good toys? I'm not even loyal to any comic universe and I would love a mixed shelf of either one, but it seems that Marvel has always had the superior toys since the Toybiz Legends to this very day

So I have this idea to use legos in my projects.For example I have some ideas for a raspberry pi zero that involve a microphone or camera.I looked how much I will need to pay for them on https://www.lego.com/pick-and-build/pick-a-brick?query=2x4And it is very cheep(I suppose there is a minimum order or a shipping fee this is not a problem). I want to order them because I am not going to look at rainbow vomit all the time if I go and get them from good will (I buy black only).So I want to make a raspberry pi based microphone to listen to people or a camera to listen and watch.My main problem was that if I want to place this in some enclosure I will need to spend $$$$ to keep them in place and after it is finished there is no way to change things inside and I need to spend more money.So why not use legos?I am not a lego fagot so I have no taboo about using knives and glue on legos.Comment too long.

When will ever get someone with the balls to step up and make these mass market blind box toys illegal or force the companies producing the nto reign in the fucking packaging on these things already?The stupid fucking junk toys are filling up our landfills alongside east asian fast fashion crap like from Temu and Shien.These toys are out of control with all the giant useless plastic shells these things come in, and they are packaged inside in excessive amounts of throw away wrappers. Its all crap and these stupid fucking things are accelerating the rate we are destroying our enviroment for them.
>>11927884"opening" the package is part of the experience. I payed money for all the steps, gimme more stepsTreasure X made you DIG for dat figure! lol among other series they made you do stuff like disect an alien bug with goo in itI'm more upset with the randomness and the need to purchase many of them before you get the one you actually wanted. thankfully there's society things that "help" with that (ebay, flea markets, sometimes-code-on-the-box, etc) but it's super annoying to have to figure out a new thing just to get a tiny figure you think looks neat. can't I just buy the figure?! whoops I just said I liked the extra steps, didn't I? d'oh!
>>11927884They have codes on them, so they are not blind if you spend 5 seconds on Google. Get the ones you want.
>>11927884Nay

I fucking hate the blindbox/bag gimmick. Especially when they also made Cat the rarest of all the figures. I would have bought the entire wave if they were available individually.
I wouldn't mind blind bags/boxes if they were used in an army builder sense.Like, if Jakks Pacific made Mario enemy or Badnik blind bags for three bucks a pop, I would go for em. Worst case scenario? I get another goomba. You can always do with another goomba or Motobug or something.Powerups would work too.Give us blind bags where doubles have a purpose.
