>everything i want now is street dated or a preorder>companies hold off everything in store for shitty "bomb" style drop events every 3 months or so with barely anything releasing in betweenAnyone else fucking pissed off by this shit? Target especially is infamous for this shit, as alot of figures have non manufacturer street dates now that target themselves arbitrarily puts on items for their shitty reset date. Its a recent move too like within the past 3 years or so its gotten to be the norm. Whats worse is that nothing new releases around christmas time at all now, despite 10+ years ago thats when all the new toys would usually come out. Intentionally baiting people for months on end with no new product in between just enrages customers imo.
>>11660667>Get another hobbyIve thought about it >Enjoy the toys you already haveIve been trying to do that more and it does hell>Be patientWaiting for things is excruciating for me. I have a very autistic perception of time where i feel like i perceive time slower then other people some days. That or im just a mentally ill faggot whos too hyperactive and therefore cant wait for shit>>11660724Alot of times ill forget about preorders too so that is always a hassle for me
>>11660667Fucked up on >>11660746 here and wrote hell instead of help Goddamn keyboard
>>11660746>>11660747You should ask yourself why you need all these toys. You dont have to answer me nor anyone else, but you need to know if that benefits you at all in the longest possible run. It almost sounds like you buy for the sake of buying, and only live for the hunt. But then youre just leaving behind what you have, thus making this whole collecting thing pointless. You should keep on playing with your current toys, and do what it takes to make them really earn their place there
>>11660768I already said im keeping alot of toys that i already have, but alot of stuff i really just dont want anymore>It almost sounds like you buy for the sake of buying, and only live for the hunt. Yeah that tracks, i really do impulse buy alot to my detriment>>But then youre just leaving behind what you have, thus making this whole collecting thing pointless. Its early in the morning and i feel retarded in the mind but i dont fully understand that part, could you elaborate?
>>11660746If you forget or don't keep track of what you have on order, that's on you bud.
How do you feel about buying toys of stuff from movies you haven't seen, games you haven't played, etc? Not just like, I collect Marvel Legends and I haven't read any of the comics featuring this character but she looks cool so I'm adding her to my collection. I'm talking full on, this is from a property you know nothing about, if anyone asks you anything based on the assumption that you must be familiar with the source material you'll just have to shrug.Like, I like this vaguely evil looking chick. Never played Final Fantasy 16, have no plans to, have no idea who she is or what her deal is. But cool toy, kinda want it.
>>11657126Buy what you actually like. If you like it because it looks cool, then you have a reason to buy it. It's better than buying 100 boring bitches like Mon Mothman or Jocasta Mi that you bought just because you like Star Wars. That was my mistake. I should have just stuck to Cantina and Jabba's palace because I like the freaky aliens.
>>11657126I will not only buy figures from franchises I know nothing about, I have actually bought figures from franchises I actively *dislike*. I hate Overwatch and Fortnite as games, but I love some of their character designs and have figures from both lines. Fortnite especially had a LOT of good figures across four distinctly different toylines. I've also gotten Figma of characters from Fate and Shield Hero despite not caring about the former and actually hating the latter, because I felt they'd work well in my JRPG party. Even back as a kid/teen, I grabbed two different Art of War Guts figures because articulated fantasy figures were so rare and they both were really cool toys. At that point I didn't even know what Berserk was and couldn't even figure out the character's name since it was in half Japaneses. I'm a toy "collector" first and foremost, everything else is secondary. If the toy looks cool or the character looks interesting...and the price isn't too prohibitive...I'll certainly pick it up.
>>11657386>>11658902There's 2 types of collectors and a ton of overlap. The first is "character" collectors, who just want a representation of whatever MCU, tv show or anime they like. This is why funkos exist, some people just want their character in some form.The second are toy collectors, who buy toys based on the toy itself, rather than the franchise it's attached to. I assumed there was a ton of overlap between the 2, like I buy all Classified because I love Gi Joe, but also buy shit I don't know about and looks cool, and then some military toys of franchises I don't know because it could fit with Joes.
>>11657482It's Boring as fuck tho, some movies are good but thats itGunplas are really cool tho, wish they make other model kits with that quality and ease of build
>>11657482Gundam is like every mainstream anime. It's story progression or action scene for 3 minutes, and dialogue for the rest of the 17. Gundam isn't even about the robots, it's about the pilots who do nothing whether they're driving them or not. Also all gundams look the same, they're either Zaku or the humanoids with forehead gold crests

So, we'll be able to torso swap this with some bare skintone 2.0 figures and make true mermaid right? Mermaid is one of the few mythical I'm missing in my shelf
>>11660335Yes they showed a photo of them doing exactly that in their isntagram
>>11660123Shirtless Orc pirate with the Jacob Marley coat was very much on my wishlist. As for Legion Builders, I hope they drop a Reinforcements 3, they suggested some surprises in the January sale but at this point I have very low expectations. >Flat is justiceI'm a fan of some DFC as well, but I never saw that phone dial torso as being remotely female. I just think the ambiguity was more about his race then his gender, but if I'm wrong I'll be happy to admit it if they ever v2 him. >>11660335Pretty much any 2.0 torso will work on the fish tail, it's honestly the main reason I got her. Getting extra torso and arms and heads are easy, getting extra crotch pieces and legs, that's always the tricky part. That said, here's hoping they drop a new army builder with this body to make this swap with, because the only recent options are all kind of pricey. Though this might make that Female Orc Legion Builder set all the more valuable.
>>11660397Is there a figure with hair like that but red?
>>11660588Not with that head no, but there was a red head in an accessory pack that could suit your needs. So far the head in the other post has been used four times, the blond head in the pic from a cosmic head pack, the original white hair/white skin from Thraice, a black hair/blue skin version from Azza 2 and a blue hair/orange skin version from the Cosmic figure Kalian Shunn. It's probably one of the best female faces they make on the market, but more should be coming soon so hopefully we'll get more variety.

>>11660424He refuses to do number ratings logically. He should just give figures letter grades between A and F since that is what his rating scale is based off.
>>11660549He actually prefers aesthetic far over articulation
>>11660553as a high level trade off sure but when he's dogging a figure for basic mistakes it's usually incompetent articulation, characters with badly set legs, terrible range in the torso, lollipop necks, etc.
>>11660549He doesn't care about limitations if he likes the sculpt/the company.Also this is the same guy who used to be (is still?) against toe hinges and butterflies because "they don't add anything and only look ugly".His articulated figure line that he was going to wow the entire world with is also dead in the water.

>>11661188The tramp stamp won't magically be elsewhere.There are guys arguing it's because she doesn't come with a stand.Back to the face issue, looks like you can pop out the inside to remove the paint easier.
>>11661195That looks cursed. But good to know.

Good for you dude.
>>11660402Thanks! Dude, it's so fun to just stare at, lol! I love LPS so much and I finally have the magnum opus of plastic animals. I gotta get more honestly cause just this is so much fun
I love variant rabbit holes, thanks to those that collect and publish this info for us lazy anons to find. I made this thread to see if anyone has random variant sites, pics, fun to share.
>>11660344There are days where it's hard to rationalize what I spent to friends and family. It's even harder with "YEAH I GOT THIS FIGURE ALREADY, BUT THIS ONE HAS A BLUE SABER AND A SLIGHTLY-DIFFERENT COLOR OF HAIR!"
>>11660344there's a bunch of power of the force oddities, there's a proto stormtrooper with a viewmaster like feature drilled into his head, it kind of works, also potf Chewbacca was originally supposed to be flocked
>>11660344I do like a subtle variant! The original Beast Wars Cheetor comes in green-, blue- and red-eyed versions.
lot of news today for FNAF toyswaves 3 confirmed
So do none of the Toy Chicas come with the black eyed beakless face? Seems like a major missed opportunity since that is her attack animation and coolest look.

I see they now branch into Bayverse too, I saw many Transformers G1 AMK Mini Series figures at my local store, are they good? I might get them. I like that they are cheap and wonder if the quality is good.
>>11657895They should've go with a darker color plastic for that Megatron. It looks unfinished in that picture.
>>11657895Nice
>>11658036Agreed

>>11657434Merry christmas fren
OK honest opinions, please. I had gotten a shit-grade Bandai FF8 Edea as a place-holder until a better one came along, (and it did). So now that I have two I decided to paint the placeholder one all-black in place of the Bandai paint job. Ignoring the frayed capes and missing crown pieces, does it look better in all-black or how Bandai painted it?
>>11658675Sorry about the shit picture. For some reason my camera phone wanted to focus on the high point of the base of the dress then blur everything else.
FITHOS
>>11658675Feels like a mix of them would be better, the original paintjob gradient starts a bit early and ends very light. Conceptually I like the right hand side more.
>>11658682kek
For me I exclusively collect domestic live action capeshit figures
Transformers mostly. Like I think the only thing that comes close is Hot Wheels cars as a kid, and I think those might have been surpassed in number by robots at this point.
>>11654238A bit of everything. Marvel, Dragon Ball, DC, Pokemon and Kamen Rider. I only buy characters that I absolutely love.
>>11654238My collection when I was a kid:>Sylvanian families>1/12 dollhouse stuffMy collection now:>Sylvanian families>1/12 dollhouse stuff>figma>shf>revoltech>snail shell>sentinel>basically any figure from a show or manga I like that will fit with my dollhouse objects >sometimes transformersI just really like setting up scenes with my tiny furniture and such.
>>11654238Primarily collect Monster High dolls. I've also got a few statues of certain characters I love. Tried collecting action figures for a while but realized I'm not really into the small stuff so only have a handful left.
>>11654238Half random figs from pop culture - Mars Attacks, Universal horror etc.Half random generic non-IP stuff (XesRay, D13) or figures that at least looks generic. I quite like plain figures, like a simple lizardman or a skeleton.
