Checked the catalog and there was no Sonic thread. Shame on you. Anyway, I just ordered the undisputed king of modern Sonic statues.
>>11835113Sonic 4 lookin
>>11836533No, he's like a head shorter.
>>11836946then why
>>11835832while i'd love better thought out articulation, i'd hate for them to make standard changes on the 4" line.we got a second knuckles which was cool. a new mold for metal sonic might come with corrected arm angles.personally i'm not a fan of any sort of waist rotation/ball joint on sonic figures. at some point articulation goes too far and sacrifices the character's silhouette. people loved jazwares articulation but when arms are tubes going into large balls for joints its strange/lanky.
>>11835832The lack of articulation is the exact reason I never bothered collecting them, I'd rather wait a million years for Goodsmile to do the main cast as Nendoroids.
What’s on the workbench, /toy/?Sculpts, castings, 3D prints, dioramas, mods, kitbashes, and repaint are all welcome!Post WIPs, finished projects, ideas, techniques, ask for advice, and most of all, have fun!HELPFUL TIPS:-Invest in a rotary tool such as a dremel for sanding/sculpting, especially a flexible extension tip.-Pin vises for drilling holes can be found at hobby stores like Hobby Lobby and are great for making peg holes.-For soft, flexible parts get Sugru silicone putty and Oyumaru-Hardware epoxy putties such as Waterweld, KwikWood, and PlasticWeld are similar to milliput, greenstuff, and apoxie, can be cheaper some times, and can be found at local hardware stores such as Lowes, Ace, and Home Depot.-Bootleg figures make great custom-fodder, especially if the legit figures are pricey.-Body-chan/kun, Figma Archetype He/She, Romankey x Cowl, and Sozai-chan/kun are great base bodies for import-style human characters.-For 3D models to use for editing, the following sites are good to bookmark:>cgtrader.com (free and purchasable models)Comment too long.

>>11839192That too. it looks bad twice. two reasons.you're right, the collar should be stiff. that's the tricky thing
>>11838733That depends on your imagination and ingenuity. I have this exact one from hobby lobby and use it all the time but not just for holding parts. I use it to hold wires together while I solder them, use metal dowels and wedge things between them when I need pressure to hold a glued edge together, it also functions as a stretching rack for hair, ribbon, or fabric that you wrap around the posts or pin down into the holes. If it's the same one I have, not the bottom of the base off glue something heavy inside of it so it doesn't tip over as easy being that it's hollow plastic
>>11839230>glue something heavy inside of itdifferent guy but fucking thank you, I knew something was off about this setup. next time an appliance breaks, which is decently often thank you very much planned obsolescene, I'll just take a heavy piece of metal and put it in there.

And it is noice indeed.Also included is the Jaguar Mk1, Custom '66 Toronado, Rodger Dodger 2.0, Aston Martin Vantage GT3, Alfa Romeo Guilia TI Super, and BMW M3 Wagon. The Jag and the BMW are all plastic, the rest are metal body/plastic chassis.

Shit sucks

>>11833139Is he seriously going to wash his car with the top down?
I never bought instructions from rebrickable before, how does it work? Only time I've bought instructions was off of OpenStuds bc it was cheaper, and the .pdf's all had my email watermarked over them. Does rebrickable do the same?
lol just lol. Why does this company absolutely refuse to improve their product to match modern standards?
>>11829815Why is he bowlegged?
>>11833449Because he's the John Hammond of toy company owners. He bought the cheapest sculptors money could buy. He 'spared no expense.'
>>11833311first off, it's just dumb on a conceptual level, all it does is make collectors go to ebay, secondly it's just a cheap tactic to artifically increase the price of a shit figure, and thirdly alt colors like this are better left as exclusives or straight up second releases.Fighting game figures comes to mind, player 2 colors are the same but they give them actual releases you can actually find.In the end it just shows how stuck in the 90s Todd is, he has refused to move with the time, is actively scamming his dwindling audience and making lazy choices ontop of it.Also card games get away with this because they actually make alt art and a pack of pokemon cards doesn't cost 30 bucks.
>>11833519More like he Chunked no expenses kek
>>11833549>and thirdly alt colors like this are better left as exclusives or straight up second releases.Okay i agree with you on this and youre right. I dont hate chase figures as much as others here but you got a point too

>>11832418I wish Blade was still on sale. Sold out too quick on target
anybody selling figma dread samus or am I waiting for a reissueAlso, got hot toys Iron Patriot for sale 220 shipped. Trench foot and the guy from his pack too also for sale, 35 bucks shippedNot sure what elsejackburtonbst@gmail.com
>>11832629Wrong thread.
>>11832460Yeah, their sale didn't last long.I am hoping the Luthor Corp lab 5 pack which was on deep discount and many stores had recently re-stocked, will finally be put on clearance at below Ross prices, because $20 is still too expensive when I all I want from that 5 pack is the Lex battle suit figure. I'd pay $20-25 for two of those kits, and donate the rest to a toy drive since I don't think you could even give away more Metamorphos and Terrifics for postage payments!>>11832629Yep, this is the wrong thread to BUY or SELL, as >>11832926 stated (although to be fair, OP made a confusing image).You want this:>>11803492
>>11830563I mentioned this the last time you tried to do one of these 'toy sales' general - that you need a better OP image. I get what you were trying to here, but I think you just confused people.Maybe something like what the Custom General guys do?
Bakugan is getting a 20th anniversary celebration in 2027. The 2026 Last Vegas licensing expo had a Bakugan booth showing off prototype statues and funko pops. AFAIK no proper Bakugan toys were shown as it was for merch licensing only. It's been making me think what Spinmaster could do if they actually are making new toys. The possibilities are kind of exciting as this line seems to be targeting adult collectors instead of very young children like G2 and especially G3. Off the top of my head the possibilities are:>Reissue: re-release of B1 main characters and maybe ONE deepcut like Leonidas. Would have some sort of marking like gold foil G-power to identify it as a replica. Would use reverse engineering like the recent Star Wars and Transformers vintage figures as the original molds have been destroyed. >Premium re-release: Similar to above but with some sort of gimmick like Premium paint, LED eyes or full Die-cast construction. >“Masterpiece” Bakugan: High end redesign that aligns closer to the animation art. Similar to Bakumorph or Bakutech but with modern engineering and adult collector budgets at B1/B2 size. >Preview Bakugan: The first release of G4 or the movie toyline in a chase color. This is probably the most likelyMerch only anniversary: Nothing but the statues and funko pops like in the merch leak, just designed to gage adult interest in the brand. What would make you pick up Bakugan again after what happened with G3?
>>11826434It finished downloading. It was not anywhere near as bad as I was bracing myself for but it is definitely a dubbed anime from the mid 00s. I fucking cackled when Dragonoid had a monologue to nobody going>IF ONLY THE HUMAN THEY CALL DAN COULD UNDERSTAND THAT BAKUGAN IS NOT JUST A GAME AN EVEN LARGER BATTLE IS TAKING PLACE IN MY UNIVERSE, VESTROIAOne of the first things we see post opening credits is Dan's mom doing yoga by the way.
>>11831243To be fair, Bakugan is not just a game. An even larger battle is taking place in Dragonoid's universe, Vestroia.Also let me take a minute to ramble a bit about the anime. I know it's a show for kids but:>"one day, cards started dropping from the sky"OK, I'm on board. Inciting incident. Please continue.>"we invented a wicked new game"No you fucking didn't. First of all, if cards really did start dropping from the sky all around the world, the military of every country would be called in. You wouldn't keep your cards for more than a week until they were all taken to some DUMB for analysis. SECOND of all, you can't make two kids agree on the rules for freeze tag, you can make a world-spanning game ruleset that everyone agrees to? Horseshit.>But anon, it's a kid's cartoon. There's no need to call the military, and it's written by the japanese. They have a higher sense of social cohesion and rules followingComment too long. Click here to view the full text.
>>11831481I only watched a handful of episodes at the start, but the very first episode IMMEDIATELY removes all hopes Bakugan ever had of being a "spectator sport" like Duel Monsters or Beyblade, or even Pokémon.Why? Because, as you can see in the very first episode of the series, when you "Gate Open", you and your opponent get sucked into a pocket dimension where "time freezes". Later in this conversation Dan claims that time doesn't freeze, it "slows down but keeps moving". Sure, whatever. But the flan pudding or whatever Dan's mom throws up in the air is still in the air by the time the brawl is over.This MEANS that anyone looking at the two people who are about to brawl, the only thing they see is two morons scream "gate open" and a millisecond later someone's cheering. It's like a coin flip. If you don't brawl yourself, or are "invited" to spectate inside the time freeze dimension, you have NO IDEA what the fuck is going on. I don't know exactly how far into the series this idea is dropped (I'm pretty sure it's dropped at least) but it raises a lot of questions.I'm sure the battle dimension is so they can have Kaiju battles without collateral damage to buildings considering 9/11 was still fresh in people's minds, but even G2 created a "battle bubble" people can see into, and that just winds time back to the original state, so they can break anything they want and it just fixes itself after the fight.>"wow anon, you must be super fun at parties"No I'm not.
>>11830649>Mantris>Mantonoid>MantidBakugan naming is so weirdly inconsistent. You'd think they would maintain the "noid" suffix on everything because they it matches Pokémon/Digimon and they mostly evolve into humanoids but they never commit.
>>11830022Cum

>>11826469>nigga has figures in his bathroom cuz he doesn't have space anymore.Saw his 2020 collection video after reading this and it's true, damn...>>11827939>>bangs teen groupiesI really doubt this, his house is a shithole and he doesn't look wealthy enough to get chicks because of money.
>>11833209>really doubt thisgroupies will fuck anyone anywhere because they're easily influenced. Even rock and roll groupies were getting fucked on nasty tour busses and shitty motels. Your problem is imagining these groupies as high quality women from respectable households and not isolated terminally online girls who latch onto big personalities. They meet Rocco and get high off knowing someone vaguely popular on the internet and want to be with him because he's a somebody and they're nobodies, and having sex with him makes them more notable. In the grand scheme of things, fuck not really, but they're deluded.
>>11825629go back to plebbit if you want karma points
>>11825364I kind of fell like when a collection turns into piles and piles of shit dropped everywhere, one does not know what they have any more. does he even know what exist inside that pile to his left? Is it really some amazing find he really wanted when it's buried under about 50 other things?

Official /RAPT/ General - Big laughs edition.Welcome to the RAPT general.This general is mainly for these franchises. You can talk about modern lines (except for NECA), but the main focus is on the older vintage stuff from Kenner, Toy Island, etc.Discussion of the films and other media is also welcome.Discussion of other similar films and toylines like Rambo, Last Action Hero, Congo, Demolition Man, even Waterworld, is cool. Especially if it pertains to part swapping, customs, or features for wishful toylines you'd like to see.NECA posting is off-topic, and should be ignored, but because NECAnon is a loser troll he'll keep posting anyway. But at least it keeps the thread bumped so post as much as you want asshole.Previous General.>>11818423

>>11832313Looks a little too big for my taste but interesting.Wake me up when Ali Express has KO kits for sale for a few blocks or these end up at a 5Below or a Ross.Only thing I have seen so far is that stupid Bldr Chainsaw Man. And it's overpriced at $19.99 at Ross.
>>11837928IMO I think it was already well worth it at 30. Guess this confirms they havent done well and why there havent been more. The Freddy not continuing the same system style is also concerning, I really think of all the attempts at a figure system bldr put the proper effort in making an effective library of dedicated joint and core parts that offered a lot of moccing potential.
is mezco worth investing my money in? I'm considering saving up for iron man
>>11828926>considering saving up for iron manNAH>>11831491>I don't think their QC is spottyNTA, but even retailers will tell you it's spotty. I've had scalpers selling shit on eBay tell me that one of the reasons they break up and sell some of the cape shit figures NEW, but in parts, is because they can actually make a profit that way, because even selling the complete figure at a loss doesn't make a sale. And in this case, we were talking about a Superman figure, which no one has yet brought up here as spotty QC and a quick check on the first few pages of results at archive.palanq.win/toy/search/ doesn't cough that figure up much where it's more criticism of looks than QC, it apperas.
>>11831749>I've had scalpers selling shit on eBay tell me that one of the reasons they break up and sell some of the cape shit figures NEW, but in partsThat's not because of spotty QC though. That's because it's a character or design that not everyone is willing to spend $100 for or is from a shitty movie. Even when One:12 was new and hyped, lots of figures didn't move at retail price and had to be put at half off and still wouldn't sell. Wolverine, Star Trek figures, etc.I'm a big One:12 fan, but I'm pretty picky and don't like all of the Mezflair that's put into the designs. Sometimes i'll regret not buying a figure, because it turned out that the Mezflair actually looked better in action poses vs the static prototypes shown at conventions.And seeing these figures in person is a huge must, because they tend to look better, since high res internet photos/videos will blow up details and colors you wouldn't see unless they're inches away from your eyes.So despite me knowing this, i still pass up some figures, only to regret it later.
I've never loved their Marvel/DC 1:12's because I despise cloth on action figures and they'd just stand out too much with the rest of the ML/MS and DCUC/DCD's I have already. I do have and enjoy their non-capeshit characters like Popeye, The Shadow & Doc Savage.
>>11828926Mezco Iron Man figures are pretty nice. A lot of die cast, very premium feel and vintage suit designs. I like them a lot.
>>11828926just get megos (1/9 scale) or make your own soft goods for 1/12 figures. Trust me, you will have WAY more fun.

>>11839002ugly boxes that won't fit his collection.

>>11839002I have just ordered akuma, but in honesty i grew up on new challengers and never played any of the games after (i thought alpha was lame) so him along with evil ryu and ken aren't characters i am familiar with. The barrel accessories look kinda cool though. We really need the barrels, car, and pile of bricks ;)
