I'm getting increasingly annoyed with GIJoe Classified having lots of points of articulation with subpar range as the norm.I just got Road Pig & Rawkus and both have retarded articulation shortcomings. Road Pig's torso has two ball joints that are glorified swivels and naturally his butterfly joints are pretty much useless as usual and just as expected he can't quite bring his arms down along his body. Rawkus's elbows and knees don't even reach 90º (the elbows are like 60º) and his neck is clearly intended to move quite lower than it actually does, and even if did, it wouldn't be remotely able to put his nose close to the ground.Nothing of this is surprising at this point, but goddamit, the articulation is all there to have great poseability and it just doesn't work.
>>11252672Yeah. It feels like each wave gets less and less functional articulation. All the complaints people had about overlays fucking up torso articulation now have belts and things sculpted on the torso but STILL can't crunch very well.
>>11252672>>11252691Hasbro has always kind of blown at torso articulation/ab crunches. Have no idea how they've been in the game for so long, and still fuck simple things like that up. Their butterfly joints usually don't work well either. They can, but often they're just not designed right.Some figures, though, it's more kind of that the design is to blame if they have big, bulky vests or whatever. My biggest issue is the shitty, gummy weapons, which was never a problem with the first few waves.
>>11252641I think that's a great wave personally
>>11252752It is! Great redesigns
A new Jodio Joestar SAS prototype was revealed today. Seems as though he will be locked behind mail issue orders using a code provided in the Jojo Magazine Winter 2024 and Ultra Jump January 2025 issue. Still, he looks amazing.
>>11250431It's weird, shitposting was down for a while and now it looks like it's back up again.

>>11253747>i think that's less than i would have had to pay ordering online.the US online stores are around $60 + $10 shipping when they have it in stock, so your store is a little higher. an anon in this thread just bought one off ali for $56 a little bit ago>>11253820since there's absolutely 0 need for support it could just be a piece of fabric held on with fashion tape or glue

So much of my daydreaming is my toys going on Toy Story-type adventures. When I'm out and about I take note of things that are toy-sized they would utilize, like places to hide from the rain or from humans until it's dark.I also collect lots of monster toys so I imagine they're like the "bodyguards" of my room. He-Man and my MOTUs are the main ones I imagine going on adventures though, enlisting the help of my imports.
>>11247666Smart of you to focus on He-Man/MOTU for this. The Mattel figures are typically sturdier than Figuarts or other fancier toys, while still having solid articulationThere's also something about the sword-and-sorcery mindset of the He-Man/MOTU characters that just feels more equipped for a Toy Story style reality, where they can't use powers/guns/gadgets, but rely more on their hand to hand combat.
>>11241532Similar, but different:>would arrange all my good guys on 13 Dead End Drive>would arrange all my bad guys on Heroquest>would arrange all my magic users on Ask ZandarAnd yeah, I would buy the strongest versions of characters I could find.
>>11241532
Toy Story bros...I bought a whole shipment of these as an investment but they're not going up in price? They're going down?? Why???
The only good that came of this terrible movie was a more streamlined Buzz design. I never liked his bulky "toy" design that always demanded further joints and features in an atttempt for accuracy. The new design does away with those needs and pairs best with other toys
Any recommendations for how to best clean these Precure toys? I tried alcohol, hydrogen peroxide, Clorox wipes, and windex without much success. I don’t want to take the paint off, but these are just too dirty to be given to my daughter as a Christmas gift.I seen some people recommend scrubbing bubbles foam spray. Has anyone had success getting similar brown residue off of figurines?
>>11247291Learn to use import sites and stop buying anime toys from Facebook, retard.
dishwasher
>>11245484You could always try baking soda and some water, but it’ll work like a really thin sandpaper, much like Mr. Eraser, which will scratch off the dirt and grime, but factory paint too! It’ll sound a bit silly, but Lighter Fluid and dish soap will make quick work of most all general dirty grime and stains without damaging (most) paints and plastics. I’ve personally used them for cleaning some really funky marvel legends and seen tons of vintage toy groups (Star Wars and Silverhawks) have fabulous results (even removing ink and spray paint stains), so I can’t imagine you would have any trouble with this older kinda softer rubbery plastics. An ultrasonic cleaner that they use for jewelry might get some of the lighter stains out too, but probably not enough to be worth the money. Toy Polloi has TONS of videos on it, and I’d highly recommend checking him out. I’d also recommend some paint brushes, mod podge and paints to touch up any small details, but I don’t think it’ll be needed. These are in pretty damn good condition! Not to say that it'll be a cakewalk, it’ll def take some elbow grease and time, but I genuinely cannot imagine these not looking brand new with some effort, and very little cost. You’re a good dad and it’s sweet to see you going to this effort. Post the results when you’re done!
>>11251021I sincerely thank you for the reply. Her birthday is on the 6th, so I don’t have much time to get these clean. I’m going to give the lighter fluid and soap on the underside of one of their skirts to see how it does.Do you mix the dish soap and lighter fluid together and apply? Or clean with lighter fluid and then soap/water?I just saved that YouTube channel you referenced for watching later tonight.
>>11251891Either or works, so long as you give it some time to kinda settle and get any nooks or crannies, a nice thorough scrubbing. Some goo gone might do some good too, or at the very least couldn’t hurt it. If they have any lingering smell that’d take care of that too. If you need to go heavy duty with smells, I’d say wrap em in some of those laundry sheets and surround them with baking soda. That’ll take any Smokey or nasty smell out, but it’ll need a few days if not weeks to set. It’s how I was able to salvage a Mafex Superman from a smoky home the seller didn’t disclose. If possible, i’d give a thorough and long soak in some warm and soapy water. Then go in with a toothbrush and LOTS of lighter fluid - repeat scrubbing with goo gone - repeat scrubbing with dish soap - and final rinse with water. Rinse and repeat until you get your desired result. Toypolloi will absolutely help guide you, I can personally vouch these helped me salvage what would be some pretty bad lost money. I’d also recommend some gloves, never hurts to have on.https://youtu.be/FkY2AeHQQIg?si=tCuUaUN0PBfKkWmL https://youtu.be/UMyaRY3yfZ8?si=KWAdwEXv54cvv26Ihttps://youtu.be/f4DZCAZlahg?si=p2alb3dRp5J_wKURThese three vids in particular might be the most important to ya. In the Luke spraypaint video he uses brake fluid but that’s to remove some pretty nasty spray paint which works a treat. Keep us pinned man! Very happy to see the end results!

Tyranno Flat, if you launching right, it could do a one-hit attack. Point good for attack and also gives more stability with Tyranno weight.
>>11254131Could work but I'll worry about the burst resistance since blades may catch into the 5-70 rachet could try using 9-70.Though the plastic ring in wolf may protect the rachet enough.
>>11254131I'd say SilverWolf is too wide for HN, which is why Hexa and Ball work much better.

Super niche question, I'm looking at premium HW (specifically Fast and Furious) and I'm trying to find out if there is another version of Dom's first 70 Charger RT. There is this one from a diorama set that looks amazing with the premium build, but I can't seem to find if there is a solo version or in another pack somewhere. There's a few mainline versions but they aren't nearly as nice as the premium.

You can never go back.
>>11249087So? I wouldn't like most of this today anyway. I mostly collect Imports now. Would be funny to see the janky ass old American toys again I guess. Could scalp a few and hurt them in a treasure chest somewhere to reopen and sell in the future.
>>11251970>jankyMore solid than any import
>>11252001Thats cause old toys barely have articulation.Domestics have regressed even more. All that gummy plastic they use for joints can be sheared right off and feels like putty. Import joints are at least solid.
>>11250320I'm lucky to have been only a Digimon/Pokemon fan back then. Sure I discovered handful other animes, but not a lot I really wanted toys of even to this day. Still, Mattel was just the wrongest company to license to with nothing but 5poa shit all the time, while Toybiz, SOTA, Squenix and even Playmates were trying to evolve

>>11255361you can still paint the red over black, it just wont pop as much and be darker. if you want to, yes you can paint the grey over but if you really wanna start over I'd soak that bitch in some oven cleaner for a few minutes or brake fluid overnight

Does anyone have any recommendations? Even better if it's a Black Friday/Cyber Monday deal.
>>11251015Probably the same way people raise two side by side detolfs with those Kallax storage cubes from IKEA like picrelated. The width's about an inch and a half less than two detolfs together and weighs only slightly more than a single one at 83.7 pounds, so it should work out.>>11251240First one's basically the one I have just in black, but is out of stock from Lowes where I got it. Lights aren't included. Here's one of the several Amazon versions.https://www.amazon.com/LFT-HUIMEI2Y-Upgraded-Quick-Install-Bookshelf/dp/B0B48X1HZFSecond one does have the built in LEDs, though like >>11251572 mentioned is out of stock atm. But this one's basically the same thing and has a $31 coupon right now.https://www.amazon.com/BROTTAR-Display-Cabinet-Collectibles-Storage/dp/B0DF7G3BPQ

>>11248768>he still gets a prequelWait, what? The first half of The Lion King literally IS his prequel, at least in the original film. The Lion King is literally just Disney's retelling of Shakespeare's Hamlet, and the character who Mufasa is supposed to be (the king) is already dead at the start of the play. That means the entire first chunk up to when Mufasa gets murdered by his brother is technically a prequel, since the movie doesn't start following the plot of the original play until the point where Hamlet/Simba runs off and goes into hiding. There's no reason to go any further back than that.
>>11248882You didn't know? The movie is called "Mufasa". It'd be as worthless as every entry outside of the main Star Wars movies. We will always hate the sequel trilogy, but those movies were still important
>>11239447>>11243669Did they ever make a toy of Melodia from that Rescue Riders movie? She was pretty.
