What's the smallest, most pathetic toy you begged your parents for growing up?
>>11650521my brother*
>>11645367Hex bugs
>>11645367I never beggedI never had pathetic toys although I didn't really have many toys to be honestSmallest, cheapest toys were likely things like knock-off versions of whatever was a hot wheels in those days.
>>11645533I had them too, at one point I did become super obsessed with them as well. A part of it was really just the collection of all different characters, they even got the Simpsons IP at some point and they made some interesting shit like one Christmas they had a race track kinda like hot wheels.And just like that as soon as they appeared they were gone from everyone's memory. Tbh that's also when my toy collecting started to decline
>>11645367This pullback toy duck that wiggles its butt as it goes. I think I got it at a Sav-on
Why doesn't Hasbro remake this? This was so goatedPower of the Force is peak toy line, best star wars line ever made. Like, Mcfarlane remade Super Power collection so why not?
>>11650772I agree 100%.Right before Phantom Menace was actual, unironic PEAK Star Wars. Shadows of the Empire was the last time every piece of Star Wars media was great
>>11650772Kino
>>11650772neat
>>11650772I remember seeing this in stores and my 7 year old self didn't give a shit since it wasn't from the movies...then I played SotE and wanted it so bad but couldn't find it.
>>11650772It really was, I got a N64 for christmas in 1996, then in January my parents take me to see Star Wars A New Hope, It was the greatest thing I had ever seen, I went to the store and they had tons of figures of characters that i had no idea who they were and I could only imagine. It didn't take long since the next month The empire strikes back came out in theaters and I was blown away, I got some toys and love the first two movies and then bam out of nowhere just a month later Return of the Jedi comes out, I watch it and fucking loved it. Got more figures as well to go along with the movie, including some Shadows of the Empire toys, at this point I knew who all the characters were but didn't know who the SOTE guys were, and then I realize one day that there's a N64 game called that so I get it for my birthday along with the VHS trilogy of star wars (which were actually the non-special edition versions, as a kid I just thought they removed stuff from the VHS releases which is why there was no jabba in ANH for example). So much star wars in such little time. I was hyped as fuck for The Phantom Menace, hell the whole world was, but the toys, the video games, they didn't hit the same despite me still being a kid.
Do you have figurines that you buy because you're a fan of Fomo or "for the future, in case I can't afford it later?"And every now and then, you remember that you have this toy, and it makes you feel better?For me it's some Lego and Sonic figures. - Sonic figures distribution is so bad that every non-standart character has a diamond rarity and skyrockets in price. I saw picrelated toy only once in my life and i knew for sure i won't open it because it's a true treasure to me (my fav game after Sonic3 is Sonic Heroes that has this toy as a main villain).- Lego - i just don't have that much space but i for sure know that it's better to have this set now than try to buy it later with it not being just expensive but having an expensive 20-30-40 eur shipping as well.Do you have such examples?Please tell! (i will show more of my stuff later in this thread)
This is a JAKKS Pacific Thread now.Just pick this guy up at WM and the fuck was Jakks thinking not giving her the egg accessory?
>>11651917i got an egg for her
>>11651917Considering jakks gave Yoshi one all they had to do was not paint spots on it.
>>11651917I've seen things I shouldn't have featuring this character...
>>11651962acetone exists. I'm sure everyone has at least one Yoshi egg laying around.
What is there even to say about bionicle, except that it was intended as a 3 year theme, that quickly ballooned out of control?Why did we do a 2 year flashback arc?did the guy who wrote it really know the whole thing was a robot from the beginning? if thats true how would the end of year 3 had been changed?why is Makuta Mata Nui's brother, when the two are completely different species?is the red star really supposed to be a failed organ transplant?what happened on the southern islands, and why is it so mysterious?why was the mask of time and light so important? we shift all their power of to the mask of life, during ignition anyway.What was the glatorian reboot supposed to accomplish, if it carries all the baggage from ignition?
>>11651200
>>11651202
Did anyone else just like bionicles without the lore? like my favorite concept of them was just a bunch of robots waking up on an island. It was fun and mysterious; I'd see a cool scene from a commercial and that's all I ever needed.
>>11651846I am sure people liked toys as toys
Someone explain Bionicle to me. I'm looking for pure 2000s feel. What should I watch? I think I don't want a summary but rather see/read the entire thing. What have I gotten myself into?
My kid is obsessed with this green poofter. What are the highest quality toys of the Grinch available?
>>11648303 People with kids have no friends because taking care of the kids eats up all our time. Checkmate.>>11648327Google only brings up trash toys. I'm hoping you homosexuals know of obscure figures from Japan or something.
>>11648292The Jim Carrey movie had a surprisingly decent toy line. I had the Santa Grinch as a kid.
>>11648447Fugggg that slutty Who in the red dress.I've never understood the concept of hot glue until this moment.>my coom grew three sizes that day
>>11648459
>>11648447Wow, somehow I never knew these ever existed. Grinch even has way more articulation than I would have thought.
Apparently Storm does still have the ability to release Mortal Kombat figures--they have not lost whatever license they had--as they are reissuing Nightwolf. Does this mean they could actually release new MK figures or did the line not end up doing so well by the end so you'd think they're just trying to get the most of their molds?Also I never noticed how ugly their knee joints are...
>>11641608knees are terrible
>>11641608eh, I feel they could roll out the Cyborgs and Ninjas again and make cash so I'm unsure they be motivated to roll out new figures
I wish Storm would do some more Soul Calibur. Quitting after 2 characters is pathetic. Why even aquire the license and start making them at all if you aren't going to give it a better effort?
Do they still produce the electric Thomas trains without the Disney/Paw Patrol faces? Seems like the classic looking shit is in rape-price territory
>>11644786There's early Trackmaster aswell as Tomy, you can find loads of that stuff on eBay.
>>11644481Dremel the activation tab on the bottom off the new engines and they'll run on plarail track
>>11641089>they make the jeeta train pull an elephantkek
>>11650714The ironic thing about Nia is that her face isn't "ethnically correct". She's supposed to be from Africa, but her basis was built in England.
>>11651433The real African engine ran out of coal and water and then rusted in place while her African driver and fireman wandered off and within minutes forgot that they had ever been railroad employees.
Just wanted to say that finally nintendo started caring and randomly put dozens of official plushes on their store in europe. I just bought a few, are they made with good quality? They are pretty cheap, 35€ for a giant kirby
Just ordered Daisy, Peach, Rosalina, and Pauline.
>>11650867Oh whoa, there's a Pauline plush? I'm behind on my Mario plushes.I wish they'd bring back the Kirby plushes. There are still quite a few characters and power-ups they haven't made. They are very nice, totally recommend them for anyone into Kirby.
>>11651330Oh yeah I gots a Kirby. He’s the size of a fucking beach ball.
I'm looking for a Kuromi plush that has longer arms and legs and a tail that isn't flat felt and doesn't have a zipper on the head. Does this exist?
Does anyone remember the tv show or video game from where this figurine comes from ? i ain't talking about the aggron on the leftIt should be something from 2005/2010 , but i have very little memories of it...
>>11641835>muh matcheven after being told what it thought was a match wasn't a match? fuck this crypto/AI clown world bullshit
>>11641835>It searches by association. In this case it saw a brown robot, found the first brown robot, and assumed that it was a match.Yes...thats called lying, bullshitting or being stupid.And we've shoved this dumb bullshitter into everything
>>11644811>And we've shoved this dumb bullshitter into everythingwhat's even worse is they've dumbed it down so that we search multiple times and see more ads = absolute fucking clown world
>>11640699this has to be the most knowledgeable board ever.

Respect the toy business.
>>11650160I ordered surfer Sting but IDGAF about the other AEW shitters. More old school for me.
>>11649645I hear he loves to watch people hot glue the figures of his wife.
>>11649645That's awesome
>>11649664i feel bad for him, he's gonna be left holding his dick on that one, I'd rather they try BCAs>>11650160it's mike kanik's thing, I think his brother is some super successful guy, but yeah, if matt got signed, he wouldn't be able to get figs from any other place but mattel
>>11650211Is that really true?
The release of WW2 Logan got me itching to make a quasi-historic WW2 display. Unfortunately, there don't seem to be many 1/12 scale figures or props that fit that aesthetic. I'm not looking for slavish historical accuracy (the new Gamerverse Nick Fury works nicely as a kind of special operative), just figures that look vaguely era-appropriate. I've looked thru all the Marvel Legends and GI Joe Classifieds, so please try to suggest figures from other toylines (new and old). Also, I'm open to any kitbashing ideas, so long as they limited to basic part swapping.
>>11641402>I just want an army of Nazis. We all do.Speak for yourself. Unpopular opinion around here, but I hate Nazis, and I have no desire to display them anywhere. That goes for all Axis powers too. I do make exceptions for fictional fasc-ish characters like Red Skull or Hydra soldiers that are relevant to a comic-themed display. Haven’t decided if they would be included, since they would only be a small portion of a display that’s primarily Allied-focused.
>>11641649>IM A FUCKING FAGGOT LOOK AT MEWe know anon.
>>11641402Bean Gelo made a great series some time ago, to bad the line died.
>>11641726Since when did somebody expressing their opinion warrant such a childish response? He clearly stated not all of us want an army of Nazi' troops in response to somebody's blanket statement about the entire board. I don't want Nazi troops either and I read My Struggle and some of it makes sense up to a point when the wheels fly of at high velocity.
>>11651227Go back. You aren’t ready yet.
Hi, I was wondering if there was any particularly odd toys that you own, or wish you owned. In fact, I saw a really cool video on the subject :) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fh8M3OA0ksgI really like when he mentions the skyscraper transformer, because i've always wanted the jizai toys mock-up. I also think in retrospect, Lego Vidiyo was really cool!
>>11641781Buy an ad you raging faggot. Your videos are shitty. Glad you wasted you life and money getting your shitty degree.
>>11641781Going mask off here huh? Well at least we can stop with the whole pretending you found the video out of nowhere. Seriously buy an ad if you want to advertise your channel.
>>11641781>I swear half this board is underage, because no adult has time to argue on this shit.three quarters of this entire site's userbase is whiny children, this is nothing new
>>11641752These are solid toys, just look a bit too shiny plasticy for me.
>>11641781You spamming this board continually keeps on degrading it, the ride never ends
Toys are hereby declared illegal, immoral, unlawful AND anyone found with a toy in his possession will be placed under ARREST and thrown in the DUNGEON. No kidding!
>>11640090Throw me in jail then, because Sexy Ice is too good for me not to play with.
>>11640649"figurines" is 1,000x more embarrassing than "toys"
>>11640090Is this Chorlton?
>>11640090You guys joke, but toyppression is a real and ongoing issue.>Pic related
You're in luck! There's no toys around this here parts!
Am I weirdo if I kept all my toys naked as a kid? Threw their clothes away and imagined them having fun being naked 24/7.
>>11639684>Am I weirdo
>>11650080those are child bearing hips
>>11650085Qurk Chungus Barbie
>>11639684I thought that was normal kid behavior.
>>11639684Stripping my Action Man was probably the first hint I was gay
