Not really a Hot Wheels person, but I can appreciate them going all out on packaging like this.

looking for figures with a poppy, cartoonish aesthetic, ideally along the lines of john kricfalusi stuff but anything will do.
Saw these on /tv/.I know it's Jeet ai slop (whatever you'd call it), but I think something like this would be a great starting point for visualizing a figure like that. I assume this is a soft coomer thread?

GIJOE was a bit distracted during PulseconReveals felt way light.
>>11156035>Robo don't know
>>11156069>What's wrong with it?His giant bulbus wrists, his terrible hips that can barely function, his dogshit neck articulation, and the awful face. >Any other figure with as many pouches as he has will be impededI have the newish GI Joe Classified 65th Anniversary Action Solider who's plate carrier is similar enough to Price's and he has vastly superior articulation to Price. And no, he doesn't look 2x better and his rifle is just black plastic meanwhile the Joe has a removable magazine and augustable foregrip. Piss off.
>>11156103>hips don't function>wrists that are no worse than a Figma and most other lines that use those types of jointsI don't think you own it.You're also completely wrong about Price's weapon, since it's dry brushed and has a few tampographs. That's 3x more paint apps than your average Classified glossy plastic weapon and most weapons in general. Earlier CoD weapons are even better painted, hence my buying those figures for their weapons alone.It's rare as hell to even weapons in general that aren't glossy plastic toy-looking even when they come painted like most Valaverse shit, hence me buying McFarlane and Mezco figures for their weapons alone. Yeah, i could add paint myself, which i do, but the paint they use at the factories is basically baked on forever.
>>11156124Believe whatever you want to, but that line is pure dogshit and you're an asshole for recommending it to anyone.

If Toys R Us weren't debt murdered, do you think they'd still be around? Is there room for a big box toy store?
>>11152790yeah, no.Like i said here, >>11143791 it was a common experience.You have no idea how many "talking tos" I had been given by old hags about who knows what when I didn't do shit. They just thought every kid was messing shit up.Fast forward a decade and retail had become increasingly full of teenagers who don't give a shit. Even "key holders" are teenagers nowadays, when it was almost always just old farts back in the day. Obviously, chain stores were more likely to hire young people, while indie/local shops were filled with aging workers who had been there for decades.If you didn't have opinion about nirvana while kurt cobain was still alive, you have no memories of how retail was like when the Silent Generation (and maybe older) was still working the counters and desks
>>11141159The reason TRU was making money wasn't because they were selling toys. Babies r us was keeping the company afloat. The toys part of toys r us was basically an afterthought
>>11151761Was it Smyth's? I saw it at a mall and it looked like TRU. or was it BR?
>>11154217Big NOPE.If Babies R Us was that important to TRU, more of the store would have been dedicated to baby shit. There would have been more BRUs too.Anyway, since TRU was a public company, we did know how shit broke down by their own reports.
>>11140455My local store now has records, adult books (aside from comics and manga), and home goods. It's kind of sad that it's like this -- the Transformers section went from half an aisle to just one small shelf -- but I'm happy they're around still. >>11140616They're kind of doing that already; they're kind of rebranding themselves as an "entertainment store". Just imagine if they invested more in Gunpla; that would be a boon for any collector.

>>11139239You aren't able to tell the difference once it's in your hands, so why does it matter?
>>11141453Depends on whether you're more skilled with physical tools or 3d modelling software.
5 years later and im still triggered by this
>>11144353To me it was the collectors that have to collect every single figure released of every line. Do you even care about the individual figures at that point? When you have shelves crammed full of figures and you literally forget about all the figures that are on the back of the shelves because you cannot even see at that point, just unseen plastic collecting dust that you forget about for years?RLM is holding up a mirror to those people. Those are people permanently stuck in CONSOOM mode instead of ENJOY mode.
>>11144353Good.Suffer, mousecuck.
>>11144851Meds now, election tourist.
>>11144463I didn't have any 80s kenner stuff but I did have a ton of the 90s toys and I gave them all away to Goodwill sometime after The Last Jedi came out. They were in kind of bad shape and missing a lot of accessories anyway, and the He-man like proportions didn't appeal to me as an adult. It was hard to let go but I felt like it had to be done.

>>11156056Two bucks doesn't even buy you a gallon of milk. Stop pretending a two dollar difference is the line between an affordable Shining Knight for the common man and the overpriced premium Xizor for elitist collectors. They'll both be collecting dust next to each other at Walmart.
when you're ready:>>11156062>>11156062>>11156062
>>11156061No one is pretending that. Facts matter, anon, just like the fact that McFarlane is scamming people with $30 "collector" editions vs 25 dollar Hasbro figures matters.
>>11156065All pricing is arbitrary, set by the sales teams to see how much they can squeeze out of consumers.
>>11156066True. For some 22.99 might be their limit for certain figures. For others they'd go higher. McFarlane is moving in the direction of making one line for paypigs and another for poor people, but the figures in both lines bear no differences.
I'm looking to get a replacement airsoft rifle for my broken g3. My field is semi auto only and my g3 busted and fires a 5 round burst on semi mode for some reasonI've been looking to replace it anywayI'm looking to replace it with this:https://www.evike.com/products/11844/Is this any good? I picked a relatively high priced one that would go good with my cold war era outfit. (pasgt, m81 woodland etc)This one's price seems good because I'm guessing that higher price = quality. There is also the CYMA m16a3 which is lower price but also looks goodNot sure if I should get this one either.. they look identical its weirdhttps://www.evike.com/products/30906/
>>11155497Better to ask in >>>/xs/
That is NOT a toy , that’s like a full on gun
>>11155581Do you not see the orange barrel tip, retard? Either way, it's not /toy/ it is /xs/.
>>11155497>>>/xs/airsoft>>11155581Airsoft guns like OP posted shoot lightweight plastic BBs at a low speed for playing a game (similar to nerf or paintball) and don't shoot hard enough to be actual weapons (some of the higher-powered ones can be tuned such that they'll damage eyes or chip teeth, but the common safety gear easily protects against this and maximum projectile mass and speed is regulated for gameplay). In contrast, air guns shoot dense metal BBs and pellets and can be used for target shooting and sometimes hunting, depending on the model. >>11155587/xs/ definitely has the stronger airsoft community but a thread on /toy/ focused on the replica and collecting side of airsoft rather than the performance and competitive side could work well.
>>11155497Oh boy I get to pull this one out of the attic...
My problem is that I have so many and I lose interest in them relatively quick. Months later I'll regret purchasing them and I feel like a hoarder at this point. If I ever move I'd have a ridiculous amount of storage for them. If I'm trying to spend money to make myself happy, it's only toys that I feel okay buying. Any anons feel like this? I hate this but I've tried everything else, nothing else is enticing to me.
>>11155424It's nostalgic for me, niggertard. Just like 90% of this board
>>11155431Bronies are not human, you are Chris Chan
>>11155382Try subscribing to Gamepass, PS Plus or Amazon Luna and see if you feel anything
>>11155355You ever think about traveling the world? I've been to a handful of countries and the toy scene is just so different abroad, even different States have something new.
>>11155656I don't have the time to play vidya like I used to. But it's worth a shot. >>11155661I've thought about it, I'm too poor to afford traveling though. I think the only country with a toy scene I'd be really interested in is Japan.
I'm going to Phoenix, Arizona for a week is there any good toy/collectible stores worth checking out while I'm there?
>>11152488dubs, damn I can't argue with that.
>>11152487Toy Anxiety has a decent selection, from high-end statues to loose figures, but it was a disorganized mess last time I visited.Collectors Marketplace is good for retro figures. It's almost like a mini Frank and Sons, where each section is stocked and organized by a different person.
>>11152487It’s America no the chains got killed by venture capitalism and the ma&pa comicbook shops got killed by Amazon/covid/trumpinomics
>>11152487>>11152804Seconding this. If you could only visit a couple of toy stores in Phoenix those two would be it. Note that Toy Anxiety is closed on Mondays and Tuesdays.A couple of other options in the general metro area are Zia Record Stores which do take secondhand toys along with books and media if you want to try your luck. The metro also has a couple of Bookmans Entertainment Exchanges which also have used toy and collectible sections like Zia. Book-Off also recently opened a branch in Mesa if you find yourself out there, they specialize in weeb toys/collectibles, but also have an aisle/glass case dedicated to western items. The mesa branch of Bookmans is also in that general area.If you have a passing interest in antiques, the North Phoenix Branch of Brass Armadillo is massive and has an eclectic pool of vendors. You can also chat up an employee over how haunted their building is. If you're in Glendale's old town, there is a half Vintage Toy Store / Dollhouse Store called Smilin Jack's Peddle Cars and Antie Em's Miniatures respectively. Specializing in vintage toys. It's a charming little store worth a visit if you end up stomping around Glendale. Tri-Force Collectibles and Drawn to Comics are just a couple of blocks over in the same old town district. They should also have stuff to peruse and those two stores are just across the street from each other.
>>11152804>>11154415Thanks for the tip.>>11152986Okay.
I'm a 26 year old man who loves Dolls and stuffed animals. Anyone else? We're watching Rozen Maiden right now. Post Dolls.
>>11137896>We're watching Rozen Maiden right now.Good taste>>11139047>>11146854>>11146912>>11146919You all realize the action figures you argue about on this board are just dolls under a different marketing term, right?
I just turned 32, male, and i bought two g3 monster high dolls.I kinda want to shrink their heads a bit with acetone like i saw one some youtube vid.I have a draculaura and an abby bominable. They're kinda sweet. Bodies always suck on these girly dolls that arent super high end jap dolls but these are cool and i like weird pastel skintones.
>>11152147>ruining your toys by shrinking their headsShame on you anon
>>11149991There is also material difference unless you are from the 60s. Action figures avoid cloth like a plague.
>>11137896>>>/jp/47797012 might be more your speed.

>>11151223I’m surprised it took them long to make a Violet figure besides a shity funko pop.
>>11151982He used to do an idealized version of himself but people made fun of him for it.
>>11151223This is utterly retarded
>>11151223Oh. Uh oh.
Would you reconsider LEGO if they dropped their faggy anti-violence policy and made kits of F22's and Abrams tanks and shit?
I would probably never buy lego ever again in my life unless I get kids. I got that bonsai and it looks cool but gathers sooooooooooo much dust and is soooooooooooo annying to clean. Just no man.
>>11151052Historical war >>>> modern war.
There are countless perfectly serviceable comparable brands at prices that aren't blatant price gouging. Lego is still operating under the assumption that they're the only player in the game when more and more people jump ship for other brands that don't openly spit in their customers' faces.
>>11151052Didn’t stop them with Fortnite and Overwatch.
>>11151052I don't need official sets to build tanks, troops, etc. I've seen tons of functional lego war machine showcases on youtube too. You know you're supposed to get creative with lego, right?Also the implication that medieval warfare isn't 'realistic' is pretty funny
What are the best bootleg action figure companies?
>>11155512Same goes for the Agent Venom, probably even more so.
>>11146529I bought this and I got an OP-01 fuckikg chinks
>>11145840I'll agree with the CT people. I've gotten some bootlegs in the past, and the AY ones were decent, but even they randomly broke, but my point is that bootlegs never feel satisfying to own. I got the CT Agent Venom and it's very close to the real deal. An excellent value at around 23-27usd.
>>11155657>but my point is that bootlegs never feel satisfying to ownThe best reason to buy a bootleg would be having a base for custom sculpting. The new bootleg Symbiote Spidey and Agent Venom are the only ones I’d own just to have as actual figures.
>>11155666Agreed. Ideally one would own the real deal, but for things like customs (or replacement parts) and effect pieces, the typical trashy bootlegs should work decently well.
