Starting off with Metasaurs, a line of robot dinosaurs in the same vein of Zoids that are 3D puzzles made out of punchout plastic sheets and balljoints that were sold in the early 2010s. As far as I can find there were only these three designs.
>>11627512I didn't realize there were so many other kits in this line. Wild. These things were huge when you put it together, but they were also pretty light Being made of foam board. The weight didn't put much stress on the joints, but the models didn't feel the sturdiest.
>>11627512wow, these are literally just a ripoff of zoids
Robotix. So forgotten I couldn't even remember what these were called and had to look at a list of toy brands on Wikipedia until I found the name I recognized. I had a ton of these as a kid, some of them were pretty big
>>11627749Metasaurs (also known as D-Trons in Asia) were distinct from Zoids in that the kits weren't motorized, were more posable than Zoids, and were made from laminated styrofoam sheets. The concept of animal-inspired mecha didn't start with Zoids, but I'll grant that Metasaurs probably wouldn't exist without the popularity without Zoids.>>11627763What's really crazy is that Robotix was still being sold up until a few years ago.
>>11627749I wish there was more zoids love on this board :/
You are gonna fight a clone of yourself to the deathYou are given two optionsSocker Boppers or Moon ShoesWhatever's left goes to the cloneYou and the clone cannot take them off and you cannot choose neitherWhich one do you pick?

If he's anything like me then he's a fucking faggot and I just need to assert dominance using mean words.
>>11623548Moon shoes easily, Poppers will just restrict my hands which are my most important tool for this job. First id dodge leave a few of his ounches to show my superiority in both skill and performance, I might let him get one in so he feels like he might be getting somewhere ill just smirk and go "that it? Boring!". I'll then jump on him and choke him to death. But before I go for his neck i discombobulate by slapping his ears then ripping his eyes out with my middle finger digging straighting into his brain with my mantis style stike. It would be over in and instant when I crush his brain with my metal shattering grip. I pull my hand out of the hole in my clones head and koon shoes home.
Everyone seems to be neglecting that having the shoes on means you can't kick or move easily but you can actually punch while having the boppers means you have a distinct mobility advantage and freedom of kicking but can't do anything with punches.The comparison between the two needs to be viewed in reverse and is the equivalent of: who wins in a fight, someone with pillows on their feet vs someone with pillows on their hands. Ultimately I would give the win to whoever is more proficient with their advantage but I think overall the boppers are less of a disadvantage for most people. A filipino kick fighter is definitely going to rape with the boppers vs themselves while a boxer might be able to compensate for the shoes and pull off the KO on themselves.
>>11623548I take the sock'em boppers and start kicking. Hard.

>>11629754>he forgot about the horrible TBS comic Krrsantan
>>11629848Oh lordy, yeah they fucked up so hard there.
>>11629848It's so funny that this came out right as the live-action Krrsantan showed up in BOBF, so right away anyone who might've been remotely interested in the comic Krrsantan decided to wait until they made a BOBF version
>>11629754Honestly, I think part of the difference in quality is tied directly to Lucas not giving a single fuck and letting the people writing the books do whatever. There was zero oversight and near total creative freedom, whereas now everything has to conform with Disney brand standards. The current crop of writers definitely aren't as talented as the old guard, but I think a lot of why Star Wars is shit now really has more to do with it being a corporate product than anything else.
>>11629754crazy how the entire High Republic publishing project is just the story group doubling down on the Holdo maneuver after everyone said it was retarded and lore breaking
Previous thread: >>11586296All brands and scales welcome. Post recent acquisitions and ongoing projects.
>>11628521Same here, except it's the Civics and the Ferrari that are impossible to find. I'm starting to see the 2026 A case in places, but stuff from this year's K case is still clogging shelves in stores all over my area.
>>11628012>ChevroletorMan, I assumed that was discontinued. It's a really underrated casting, imo. In hand, it's kind of like a corvette had sex with a doorstop. But in an appealing way, if that makes sense.I could be mixing it up for another car, but I think it was from a series where Hot Wheels let actual automotive designers make fantasy/concept cars from their respective companies. Chevroletor must have been the coolest one because otherwise I would have bought more, lol.
>>11629661It was an official design from real Chevrolet designers Hot Wheels asked them to design cool toy car.

Welcome to the Transformers General!Last time on The Transformers: >>11622002Brawl is making his way into people's hands! Are you getting him?
>>11630573Good products cost money, DotM's successful simplification emboldened Hasbro to cut costs every year since, it's why we're getting $45 voyagers that are lighter and smaller than $13 deluxes from 2006. Dark Spark and Reactivate was the attempt to do the same with games but gaming doesn't scale down the same way without complications. It's either 2D Indie shit or mobile and Hasbro doesn't want to take the risk of hiring Indie developers in the same way companies like Sega do.
>>11630573>Hasbro>good decisionsPick one
>>11630143well that's exactly my point. it feels like a sentai concept, very Super Robot. doesn't fit here.
>>11630612Really dude, how new are you? Transformers in Japan are super robot as fuck. Samurai Optimus is clearly Japan inspired. It makes perfect sense.And again, you're really overanalyzing the shit out of a silly novelty toy. Not everything needs to conform to what you think it's normal. Have some imagination and sense of wonder. It's a fun concept and that's it.
>>11630638they often are, yes. and i don't like those as muchthis doesn't feel like it's trying to be that
As Devil Z gather all of the Decepticons that Megatron has wronged, the now deposed Emperor of Destruction is on his knees as his mustachioed human usurper asks if Megatron has any last words before the men Megatron betrayed get their revenge by killing him dead. "You might kill me, but by the power of Unicron I shall return, a mighty galvatron of wrath and destruct...." Megatron say before having his head blown off by Astrotrain, Starscream, and Thundercracker as Devil Z congratulates them on a job well done. Previous thread >>11622002
>>11627363Too much shit especially at the beginning and the last batch would require new licensing deals for Hasbro properties
>>11627374They'll get to it eventually. They did the Marvel stuff first because that is where the money is
>>11626350According to the mods posting 100 images in a couple hours is not considered spamming
>>11627456I'm gonna pretend for a moment that you're being serious, and urge you to ask yourself how those first four words ended up in your post in that order.
>>11627439Outside of Windblade and Last Stand if the Wreckers, is there anything of value to reprint?
Finally a Proto Man figure goddammit
>>11627694I'd be fine with it if they got reissued but they won't. If you want a Vile figure its going for like 400 dollars.
>>11623109An in-scale model kit would be dope but come on now, let's be real.
>>11627661>>best sculpts>>MMX2 armor>>model kitsit's always model kits, I need to learn how to build
>>11628076The Kotobukiya kits aren't too bad as long as you pay attention to the instruction. Just need a decent hobby knife and some nippers.
>>11620883>figuredoes that ab even folds? the shoulder screams, "ow marvelo- o sorry, nihonjin desu"
Looks like us Amerifats are getting a 2000$ stimulus. What is everyone going to get?I'm looking at resin 3D printers for printing 1/6 scale parts, any recommendations?
>>11626566Fem Spider-Ham!Ha, I am so stupid I never caught that.I guess it's an AU where she's Female Stilt-Man.
>>11626454>spider-gwen?Piss off.
>>11626649
>>11626155you still need the material and you still need the designs unless you trust yourself enough to come up with them by yourselfwhen I was in art school, I passed on a 4 color printer for digital pics because the ink and paper would fucking add up, not because the printers were reasonably cheap. was still cheaper for me to do it the old fashioned away, especially for something that was a hobby.NOW, if you were going to make head sculpts and sell them, or say weapons and other accessories? Plus if you knew you could definitely sell them?
>>11625823Even if there were it’s the same old muh one time payment while the fat cunt and his cronies get years of tax breaks, meanwhile everybody blowing their 2k helps fuck up the economy just that little bit more. So very, very tired of this clown show.
Has anyone made life-sized posable action figures?
>>11629677>yeah well none of this i on topic anywaysno fucking shit anon
>>11629057>>11629059To be fair, maybe he was talking about Sam Wilson/Black Falcon, you know, now that Predator is part of the MCU
Ok but what's the best figure for OG jungle hunter?
>>11630436Hiya probably. It's 1/18 scale but it's pretty much the only half-good one given Revoltech dropped the ball and the other one is made by the brand that shall not be named.
>>11630436Wait for the 52toys one
They will still be making Sonic merch until 2029https://www.globenewswire.com/news-release/2025/11/03/3179332/0/en/JAKKS-Pacific-and-SEGA-of-America-Renew-Global-Toy-Partnership-for-Sonic-the-Hedgehog-Merchandise.html
>>11627765Those look like AI
>>11622805Surprised they didn't awkwardly try to crop out the half naked chick on the art.
Did they release that set with Fang's hoverbike yet?
>>11629602Yes. I saw it in the wild once, and only once, at gamestop
i havent seen a single one of these in EU
Is this worth $40? I've never put together a model car kit before. Anything I should know?
it will proably be close to $100 once you buy the paints tools etc
>>11625870Yeah the decent paint and tools are an investment that op probably didnt consider. Hobby lobby usually has random sales on their model stuff. Well they did a few years ago atleast.
>>11625493What scale?
>>11627255https://www.tamiyausa.com/shop/124-sports-car-series/mazda-mx-5/it's 1/24 scale>>11625915>>11625870does the kit come unpainted? or is it just shitty paint that i'll want to correct?i have a bit of genuine mazda paint in my garage that i could use to match it to my irl car. that would be neat
I wanted to get a cool witch king or sauron figurinesis weta ok? the most important thing is for it to look cool
>Statues No>Witch King Toybiz>SauronToybiz, Diamond Select BAF or Beast Kingdom. Whichever is cheapest.
>>11627509I have the Beast kingdom Sauron and it's fantastic, only issue is that the ring it's unpainted (shitty QA in that regard but everything else is good), i really recommend it, it's the best articulated Sauron right now but be prepared to paint the ring yourself, i used a gundam marker.Also, some chinese company is doing ringwraiths so there is a good probability for a Witch king in the future.
>>11627639what if i want just a statue? im looking at the weta website and they have some fucking cool evil onesones with faces like aragorn or legolas are mech but other ones are cooool
>>11627684>>11627639also i looked up inart but that is a no go for nowtoo good but the prices lmao
Why do you pathetic faggots NEVER talk about Saint Seiya figures? Do you like sucking black dicks or something?
>>11620960
>>11626230As a Capricorn myself I approve of this.
>>11621838pretty decentgreat quality and sculpt for their price
>>11621292Blokees Saint Seiya are full plastic. Also that short lived D.D. Panoramation line
>>11627036It's amazing to see Blokees would produce kits for such old anime.
>Despite constant criticism from the community,they finally made the best Spider Man, Wolverine, and Cyclops on the market>By introducing a wide variety of DB Line products that balance price and quality, we will eliminate the shill retards and third-party criminals who ignore copyrightsI warned you all so many times not to anger Bandai.they are Literally unstoppable now
>>11623830>best SpidermanBut Revoltech did that years ago with the 2.0 version
>Randomly, out of absolutely nowhere, remember I want SHF Cyclops>I dont have a preorder. >Go on Amazon, its there>preorder it. >It immediately goes out of stock Dang, looks like I got the last one
>>11623830fuck off with your premium price shit
>>11626944The problem with many imports of licensed IP is that the figures are re-releases and at most new releases of the same characters.There's no variety in, for example, Spider-Man, until a new movie comes out. Then we get the same SM for the next few years until they reboot the movies.
>>11623830>best Spider Man, Wolverine, and Cyclops on the market2/3 aren't out yet.
I just wanna get this one. I have already... Several duplicates. Of ones I don't like too. I also do not find collecting fun
>>11624737That's the point of blind boxes
>>11624737resell them are you poor
>>11624988I...I, I'm not a sales desu!
Those Ultra figures are usually pretty lame, but padding out those shoulders really helps the figure.
>>11627247the legs are what usually bug me and yeah this fixes it.
