Is Mega actually fucking dead now? Will Mattel Brick shop EVER put out anything other than Hot Wheels? Why is Mattel rebranding Halo sets if they have not announced anything new? Will they ever do anything other than Halo?Previous: >>11622600Best sources for Mega news:https://www.instagram.com/bryan_mcx/?hl=enhttps://www.instagram.com/megaplayants/?hl=enArchived Threads:https://archive.palanq.win/toy/search/subject/Mega/
>>11657596ThisI'm surprised they held onto the license for so long. Considering that Mega and Lego have shared the following licenses:Pirates of the caribbeanMarvelTMNTThe only place where Lego has outdone Mega is obviously Marvel
>>11657634Don't forget about Spongebob Squarepants
What do you guys think about the Narnia and King Arthur lines?
>>11657698coo monsters, the Narnia line had some cool beastmen iirc
Mattel used Mega as a loss leader for years. I love the details and possibility as well as the size and would have welcomed civvies. Also the Beyonders and Vikings had potential if developed. But there were constant fuck ups. The shifting scale of the HALO figures as well as lines that just died. I am particularly disappointed in the lack of Scully for x-files and lack of more Colonial Marines (and possibly a Ripley and power loader.I will buy Chinese knock offs (missing the modified sets like the Fire fighters though. ) but wish there was more variation (men with hair and female bodies) . The custom parts coming out of Mexico are amazing but postage is butt-splitting rape. If they don't license all their IP's to LEGO they could come back. Also a deal with HASBRO to use G.I.Joe and Thunder cats would be amazing
I'm usually not a buyfag for figures this expensive, but I loved this movie. Could some more experienced people tell me if they often go on sale? I can't see myself spending $300 on it but if I could get it for $150 or even $200 I think I'd cave
>>11656037Rule 2 states "no Japanese figurines."It doesn't say anything about western statues.
>>11656295Didn't know they made them, thanks!
>>11656037There's no board for statues and other collectibles.
>>11655496So, is this the most popular character in the franchise now? Haven't seen the movie yet, but she's pretty much all I've heard about from it.
>>11662999Yes and she should absolutely be the protagonist going forward, she sells torn between two worlds better than anyone else
Blokees have been making great strides lately and making good use of their licenses. What does /toy/ think of them? I find their rate of growth quite impressive especially for the quality of their pseudo-model kit figures.
>>11662940If they do female Rivals figures they’ll probably be faithful to the game’s aesthetic, which is already better than anything Hasbro attempts with its Gamerverse stuff.
my first blokees. while you dont need tool to build it, the guide book fucking sucks. a lot of unlabeled parts. as the figure itself its exactly what you get for the price, decent range but cant do extreme pose, the orange color is somehow different. on top its doff middle glossy and the hip is doff again. good enough for not so favorite toys
Got Scyther in yesterday. He's really cool and pretty easy to assemble. I wish the legs had a bit more articulation but given the design he's very fun to pose and he looks great. Also the base with the bamboo is neat.
>>11658370Don't they have a superman figure for the movie?
>>11657092Nothing from them interest me but the Marvels Rivals stuff. They are a little bit too pricy outside of China too....
Happy New Year anons. I picked up this horse figure a few weeks ago in a loose fig bin specifically for this character and buddy of mine wants to do the same but I can't ID it. It's a 1/12 scale and has a hidden button on the rear left thigh for galloping action. I'm pretty sure its not a yotijay or any version of Shadowfax that I can find. Any help is appreciated, thanks!
Toybiz Arwen Rider set from LOTR. There were a bunch of them.https://www.ebay.com/itm/166198102823

>>11661374I keep forgetting the email. Please forgive my idiocy.
>>11661376So each of those square cubes is a BB figure? And I take it this is someone else image, not yours? No judgement, just curious.
Anyone got a kith mvc wolverine?
Does anyone have an SHF Power for a non-rape price?
>>11662135Yessir! There's a few sub-lines like Megabox and Infinitybox also, but what's shown are regular BBs. Also no its not my pic.
What are you asking Santa for this year? For me it's the Lego UCS AT-AT.
>>11658146Jarrett isn't Santa, son. He's real, which is a darn shame.But he's not giving up his clout.Since that all he really wants from this board or reddit.
What happened

>>11659303nice one anon
>>11661490I mean it's doing better than that Tron Hasbro Pulse.
>>11661680I'm in the opposite boat, you can't substitute for the real thing.Yes, modern toys may be objectively better, but they're still only stand-ins. Masterpiece Optimus Prime is not the one you played with as a child. They do not evoke the same emotional response vintage toys do.Reissues and knockoffs aren't the real thing either, but at least they're close enough.
>>11663155Real glad this is gonna fail
>>11663167For me it's the pricetag.The fact that you could just get the Soul of Chogokin Godmars for what they're asking for this is ridiculous.

how bout some playmo
>>11663124Wut?
which LOTR movie had the best toyline?
>>11660671
>>11660671My mom used to work as a housekeeper, and when people would leave shit behind in their rooms after checking out, they'd keep it if it was interesting.One day she came home with that line's Gandalf the Grey, and found the rest of the accessories the next day.His hat is molded to his hair, and his bags slot into little holes on his belt, and he has a hexagonal stand with a bit of the Middle Earth map on it.She gave it to her brother, who's always been a big LotR fan.
I bought a bunch of the Toy Biz elven warriors recently but my main fix is Games Workshop's Middle Earth strategy battle game.
>>11661325Nice
>>11660656I wish the LOTR toys were better. I have fond memories of them but in hindsight they weren't great.
Do you have any /toy/ related New Years resolutions? Spending limits, completing a set, getting that grail? Share your future goals!
>>11663011It's always the same. I only buy what I like, except I don't think ill be shopping internationally anymore with all these tariff uncertainties
>>11663011>anyI only plan to deaccessioning everything valuable that I don't want - which is quite a bit. It's not really a toy thing because I'm also workign on getting rid of a lot of things. I've actually been lean for the past decade plus because I was in a studio and had no space. Now, I have extra closet space and extra shelves, etc., and it's time to get back and get rid of crap - and that includes more than toys. I already donated a bunch of things to a Vietnam Vet's charity, they even came and picked everything up.Any grails are generally absurdly scalper priced on the secondary market, so I wait for them to fall in my lap. If they do, they do - if they don't, BFD.I apply spending limits and then gift cards falls in my lap. Most incomplete sets I care about are also similarly a grail situation so again, not going to give in to scalpers. When I see people who paid absurd prices this past summer for shit I am finding on deep clearance today, it's funny. Sad but funny.
Beyond. Epic. Win.I've wanted this for FIFTEEN YEARS
>>11659753I was kind of skeptical but I watched a youtube review and it actually had quite a lot of features.
>>11659753I have this but for some reason I removed almost all of the stickers when I was a kid. I wish I didn’t do that.
Congrats, anon. I can't stand the new ones, though. The Kenner line had soul.
>>11659753Hell yeah OP. Always great to get something elusive.

Why did the CIA think making Osama bin laden dolls into a fusion of darth maul would be a good psyop to scare kids? It just makes him look cooler
>>11662341I doubt that the CIA did that. Back in the late 90s/early 00s you could buy 1/6 scale figures of all the world's villians. Even ones like Hitler. It was all sold under the excuse of "historical purposes."
>>11662368>I doubt that the CIA did that. Kek thats what you thinkhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Devil_Eyes
>>11662341>cia doing stupid shit that has the opposite effect of what was intended business as usual really
>>11662341So the George Bush doll had a villain to fight, obviously...

Will there be a shirtless seph figure with the ultima weapon as a bonus, or am I hoping too much?
What do we do to stop shf from getting worse each year while raising the prices. There hasn't been a SINGLE release without issues in years now. The new goku is practially a landmine of QC issues and let's not even start with how low quality the one piece and mha line are...or god forbid, the berserk figures.

Post action figures you used to fetishize as a kid
>>11654412>>11656803This was my fav Technic figure.
>>11660968Freddy Mercury?
>>11656607>(my god, I didn't realize how badly these early Digimon figures aged)Isn't that thing like an inch and a half tall? Doesn't look bad considering.
>>11658326That's awesome.
>>11661477Fair point. I guess my nostalgia just made me remember those figures as better looking than they actually were.
