>inb4 see you tomorrow Looking over the past year at the toys I’ve picked up and making my top 10 list, everything on it is objectively great engineering, articulation, paint, etc. But as I sit here looking at these figures, I feel nothing. Even picking them up and moving them around has about as much entertainment value as a fidget spinner after 30 seconds.I think it’s time for me to pack it in and sell everything, including my childhood toys. This isn’t a financial decision it’s a mental health one. Toys aren’t even an escape anymore they’re just another anxiety factor nowadays because you have to constantly be plugged in just to have a chance to give these corporations your money.I don’t know what I’m going to do to pass the time. I’ll probably start working out daily again and getting back in shape. But I’d just like to thank all of you except Jarret. Suck my dick you fucking faggot. I hope the rest of you have a very Merry Christmas. Goodbye.
>>11660864Model kit building is similar but you do develop a skill with building and painting them right.
>>11657027Go back to youtube comment sections, adults are talking
>>11660864>>11660879Why are you chucklefucks even here? Did you get lost?
>>11657027That's the fucked-up part. The overwhelming majority of people buying that shit are still White dudes even though the people who make that shit hate them and want them ethnically cleansed out of the fandom. And they always have excuses for why they keep going with "THEY'RE NOT TALKING ABOUT ME! THEY'RE TALKING ABOUT RACISTS!" No, dumb fuck. They're 100% talking about you, whcih they percieve as racist just because you exist and your kind created this hobby that those other fuckers covet. >>11660864>you get nothing of valueThat's of course arguable. I admit that I just tossed shit in the trash that I once percieved as having some sort of value only to re-evaluate that later, but there's also a lot of stuff that I'd never do that to. >>11661048metal videos always have the best shitposting comments.
>>11661052See you say that but then I see people like Prof and CGB and Amy all being successful within the brand identity and fandom thereof and they're all mayo-americans
Does it bug anyone else how much Kenner dropped the ball on the T2 line? The Endoskeleton is basically the only genuinely good figure in the whole line. I know it was common practice for companies (especially Kenner) to get creative with the designs, but the sculpt work and gimmicks basically ruin every figure. The Exploding T-1000 and Power Arm Terminator are tolerable but do weird things like making the T-800 sleeveless of the T-1000 half silver. I can understand what they were going for with the T-1000 but it would have made more sense to give him the power arm gimmick and make his alternate arms his various weapons from the movie (or make some up like a giant axe). Even as a kid this stuff bugged the hell out of me and I had no interest in the line beyond the Endoskeleton.It's just such a weird drop in quality given how amazing their Alien and Predator lines turned out.
What the fuck was Playmates thinking sculpting the upper teeth as a separate piece? It almost totally ruins a pretty decent figure. In fact why do so many companies sculpt the head with the mouth open? Kenner did it, NECA did it initially. It's weird.
>>11659556i always hated that t1000, thought he looked like joe pesci. Power arm t800, john conner, and the skeleton were the best, I didn't stick it out for the better ones, I got deep into crash dummies
>>11660326Back then it probably was a last minute scrapped action feature.
>>11659556T-1000 figure should have had the arm gimmick and come with normal arms, hook arms, blade arms etc. Or maybe he can look normal but turn silver in hot water. Seconding the giant mechs from the future scenes. Those would have been great.
>>11659556I thought they did a decent Arnold, a VERY, VERY decent John Connor w/his motorbike too. The silver Endo was nice, needing a good gun though. Liked the dirty, glow in the dark Endo too. They screwed the pooch on the cop, but still... there were some good figures there. ... ... ...in a bin somewhere, I still have my silver Endo wearing a leather jacket that came from some chinese keychain.

>>11660835That's the first thing that came to mind, it looks cool I guess
>>11660838>those feet
>>11660996>>11660977
Post action figures you used to fetishize as a kid
>>11658328I fanatically loved the movie Hook, so if they packaged a piece of shit with the Hook logo, I'd have wanted that too
>>11656768i'm still kicking myself for not picking this up mint in a bargainbin of my local toy shop years agothey became insane on the aftermarketand besides liking unreal tournament 2004 i would enjoy a (sloppy) 1/12 shock rifle
>>11654408OG Optimus. I was slightly too young to get into Transformers in it's heyday but I caught the show on reruns a few years later. My older cousin used to have a lot of the toys since he was the perfect age in the 80s to get them, but few survived his childhood.I used to really want an Optimus but they were not found any longer. My neighbors, these two girls somehow did have one in their pile of toys so I played with theirs for a while. I managed to grab the reissue one later on when Gen 2 came out.
>fetishizeNon-sexual or sexual?The original non-sexual meaning is more like idolize and project yourself onto.For me, it was Sci-Fi from the Battleforce 2000 line. I made him my own character stand in for myself. Even more than that mail away figure you could name after yourself.
>>11654412>>11656803This was my fav Technic figure.
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.
>>11658410You think he wiki'd that passage?

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.

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.

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.
