For scale Trains, track work wiring, layouts, scenery etc I was interested but I'm not sure if anyone or anywhere else if anyone has mad a similar thread
Going to my first open house at my local club. Really want to make a good impression and see what the members are like; it should be pretty casual since they added Thomas to the flyer pictures.
>>11798271There are train threads about every two to three weeks. There's probably serious, truly serious - spend the money serious - from a very few people and very few of them come to a place like this Mongolian basket weaving picture puzzle paradise that all said, there's nothing wrong with the occasional bringing up of toys trains for a thread on /toys/

I found this on Twitter just now, under a James May tweet, looked cool for "L-scale":https://beta.ideas.lego.com/product-ideas/8b964aca-6f3d-4d15-91ac-23a8949de9f8
I have decided to dump all my larger Godzilla and Zord type figures to go for the Lucky Cat and Monsterarts 1/12 stuff. I just bought the Biollante 1989 Godzilla cuz it was fairly cheap on Amazog and will probably not be around much longer, and it's my favorite version of Godzilla.For other stuff, or maybe even to get me to cancel this guy, what's out there that looks serviceable and itsn't $100+ per dood?
>>11798585Hiya toys does cheaper figures of comparable or even higher quality than Monster Arts. They're usually slightly bigger, but it's not distracting. Unfortunately they get scalped just like most Godzilla merch.
>>11798585>1/12 scale kaijudo you own a football stadium? where are you going to put it?

>>11815494It'd be fun if Hasbro typoed the name on the box for Beast to say Marvel's Breast like they typoed Boomerang, got Marvel Legends kicked out of the toy aisle at Walmart and Target and there was a huge scandal about it. But too late, we already saw it was normal on the stream.

Welcome to the RAPT (RoboCop Alien Predator Terminator) general.This general is mainly for these franchises. You can talk about modern lines like NECA, Hiya, Mafex, Trick or Treat, etc. and older vintage stuff from Kenner, Toy Island, etc.Discussion of the films and other media is welcome to help lulls between toyline announcements.Discussion of other similar films and toylines like Rambo, Last Action Hero, Congo, Demolition Man, even Waterworld, is welcome. Especially if it pertains to part swapping, customs, or features for wishful toylines you'd like to see.

>>11813829Ehh I didn’t like the show honestly and I don’t think it did very well
>(Hard mode: no licenses)I'll start the ball rolling with a dumb idea I had ratting around in my brain for a while."Capsule Wars".Pretty simple; Roughly 1/35 scale simple plamo dieselpunk vehicles accompanied with semi-chibi (a bit like pic related proportionally) poseable minifigures. Obviously being SD the figures wouldn't exactly be scaled themselves but would be about 54mm to the top of their heads in keeping with the mushy 1/35 scale of the vehicles. The idea being you could absolutely display them with accessories and props from 1/35 scale models etc. Aesthetically the whole thing would be somewhat Artmic, somewhat Makoto Kobayashi/Dragon's Heaven, a hint of Ghibli and a light sprinkling of Akira Toriyama (mostly mechanical design, which he's highly underrated for IMO). The vehicle kits would each come with their crew, and additional figures could be purchased individually as Gashapon style blindboxes or in complete sets.
bump for interest
>give away your ideas to corpos for free: the thread
>>11813393Basically Link Travelers with a bigger emphasis on the vehicles? I'm down, I love my little capsule figures. I just built the whole flying jet-ski set the other day and it's a lot of fun to swoosh around. I wish the line itself wasn't virtually impossible to collect though, the majority of sets seem to be limited time online JP only exclusives. As for a toyline I'd love to make myself, it would be a 1:18 quasi sci-fantasy WWI aesthetic military line with a heavy focus on modular armored vehicles. Figures would be like your current standard 1:18 figures like ME Joes or Acid Rain stuff with a retro-future style designs. Almost military steampunk but not as hipstery. But the main focus would be on their vehicles, various armored transports going from smaller 4x4s and half-tracks to larger play set sized massive rolling command stations and ground carriers. But the majority of em would be mid sized tanks you could mix and match parts between to make your own custom vehicles. Engines, treads, armored cabs, turrets and gunner seats, all sorts of bits and bobs you could take off and mix between sets. It'd have like three different factions with their own colors and tank aesthetics, but parts would be reused and repainted to better combine with each other. It'd bring back the fun of being able to build your own vehicles, and actually encourage getting more to cross build and customize your armies.
>>11813393Highly Arriculated 6 inch figures made out of rubber bands, like the original GI Joe but with todays modern tech.Or tell Mego to get their damn head in the game and MAKE SOME ACTUAL PRODUCT
>>11813393The promo pics for this Super Cyborg CFTBL look awesome, makes me want a line of monsters/aliens that you can have on a dissection table, or like a cryo chamber. And it's powered by a usb powered LED in it so you can put a monster from the line in it and see them light up.Also, cavemen. Like that evolution walking picture - you get cro-magnon, neanderthal, real missing link looking dudes, the whole lot.
Will the balance tip and more collectors start selecting cheaper figures over ones with more paint and articulation?

I've done that plenty but in my case we're talking like $30-$50 going against $100-$200. The difference in price between those two He-Men is relatively negligible and I think the people are going to be buying the cheaper one more for their kids rather than their collectors.

>>11813229I actually agree with you. I was just playing devil's advocate. These working fools assume they'll live to be old, when in reality there's a good chance they'll be killed in a car wreck or drop dead from a heart attack at any moment. And even if you do make it to old age with a ton of money... there's a good chance you'll be too crippled to enjoy. My mom is now 71 and she has rheumatoid arthritis, sjogren's, and copd. You can't do shit without being in pain. Investing in your future is a hell of a gamble to take.

>>11808833Singy Ken
>>11808833By law, they're supposed to be paid minimum wage. Whether farms have slaves on the down low, who knows.... but we're talking about Hasbro's sculptors, designers, artists, accountants, engineers, lawyers, chemists, HR karens, and other employees who are making much more than minimum wage and cost more than 10000 cages full of human cattle in China.>>11808696Well, Hasbro does outsource the manfucturing to China, who then requires slaves, so i guess that's the only equal part in costs with Chinese toy companies.
>>11800685Their little $5-$10 kits are fun and slightly addicting but interest fades pretty quick in my experience.However, their larger scale model kits are some of the best kits I've ever assembled, especially Tarn. I wouldn't be disappointed at all if they discontinued the smaller sets and focused on the larger sets.
>>11800238Are you the guy that's obsessed with cocks?
based chadbro will kill blokees shilling by mainstreaming model kits.seriously fuck all y'all obnoxious niggers.
$80cad to ship this little box with 3 figures.-$40 ems(cheapest option)-$40 to my communist government on taxationI've largely switched over to buying toys from China and this was a good reminder why. Shipping from China is usually free even when the orders are worth hundreds of dollars and I never get taxed. Fuck buying from Japan.
greedy ass muthafuckasfeels so corrupt
>>11803230Youd be alarmed at the markup on toys

>>11797843>>11797811>>11797788>Be Canadian>Vote for Trump>Suffer the consequencesYou guys did this to yourselves.I have not ordered anything from Japan in years, way back since Amazon changed their shipping policy where they would charge for each item instead of one bulk price. I get that intentional users might not be Amazon JPs actual customer base but still. It was great for getting CDs and Magazines and toys.
>>11797742>sucks to be CanadianGood taste on figures Anon, but those prices are pretty much the standard everywhere now.
Are you ready for your toys to communicate with you using AI?>Hasbro has officially launched Sixth Wall, a brand-new artificial intelligence studio designed to bring its iconic catalog of characters into the AI era through a controlled, authorized licensing framework. The initiative introduces a brand-new framework called "Behavioral Licensing," which allows third-party companies to license how a character thinks, speaks, and interacts in dynamic digital environments—moving beyond traditional visual appearance licensing.>The studio is powered by CharacterOS, an in-house system that encodes each character's specific personality traits, franchise canon, unique voice, and safety guardrails to ensure consistent and appropriate behavior across platforms. Additionally, Hasbro has secured a strategic partnership with AI voice developer ElevenLabs, launching select character assets directly into the ElevenLabs Iconic Marketplace. To address ongoing creative industry concerns, Hasbro is collaborating with real professional voice actors—including original voice cast members—to legally and ethically source the vocal recordings used for the models.>The program is launching with an initial rollout of roughly a dozen iconic characters, including Optimus Prime, Megatron, Cobra Commander, and Mr. Potato Head. Licensed partners can apply for time-bound pilot programs through Sixth Wall Studio across several commercial formats. The studio is initially limiting its applications strictly to audiences aged 13 and above and corporate enterprise use. It is explicitly not developing AI-enabled play experiences targeting young children.
>>11809143Right, and this is the first step towards you not being able to do that.
>>11811395Good luck with that.
>>11808441>including original voice cast membersGlad to see they got Chris Latta on board.
Idk what to think of this. What is the Peppa Pig voice actress’s opinion on this matter?
>>11809148If they will go full shallow, feed the AI old shows and allow it to make your own

>>11803853why are you a faggot?
>>11817558lmaoLooks good but Onua would be cooler with a different silhouette. The stubby legs just ain't enough for me, though the forearms and tools are sick. Shame there's no other single piece with the same joint layout as those old Mata arms. I'd be curious to see you swap the forearms for the upper arms (wrist joint goes 90deg to be the shoulder socket), then possibly Mata legs or something as forearms for variety, pic rel.His Nuva form almost strikes me as pot-bellied. His original form would lend itself better to the skeleton you've worked out, though the Nuva armour pulls it the other way.
>>11817600It really is just "oh that's a cool technique, lemme add that" ad infinitum.
>>11817819Yeah, I was pretty much ignoring most of the design language of his actual Nuva form in favour of something closer to his original design, since I always thought the former looked fucking ridiculous with the tiny little arms and wide hips. Probably will do the same for Pohatu so he doesn't look like a fucking bullfrog.In truth, I did mostly stick with socket-to-ball elbows in earlier designs (like the Chronicler's Company posted earlier) but I do find that ball-to-socket gives a better range of motion.

BBTS finally took my payment for the Nick n Judy 4 pack from Morstorm. I did have a hiccup since I had to get a new debit card and despite updating it on the store the order itself still had the old payment, but after resubmitting it went through just fine. Just in case some other anon had a similar issue.
