hello /toy/, I'm asking for your help to find an old toy I had.It was:- a brick toy robot- NOT Lego, and the parts are not interchangeable with Lego (they were slightly bigger, the pegs were a lot taller)- it came in a round bucket, red one with a removable top and a tilting handle.- the robots head was just a very large transparent plexi dome, the glass was curved in the front and flat on all other sides. There was a pilot inside, it looked like a lego minifig with its torso and head only.- the robots limbs were connected by ball joints. one for each leg, one for each shoulder, and one for each elbow. so, pretty flexible, considering (well, it could point at things). The part holding the ball joint had a cut-out at both opposing sides at 180 degrees, so the robot could tilt its arms a lot more when tilting into that cut-out.- the robot had a fairly bulky torso, with a chest plate, 4 red rockets below the plate, and 8 grey round pegs below the rockets which kind of looked like abs but wide.- the robot head was on a tilt-forward joint but blocked by the chest plate. With the plate removed, it could tilt its head forward/down 90 degrees.- one "hand" had two pincers, the other one had 2 long rifle barrels (like a scifi laser cannon)- there was a third laser cannon mounted on the torso, above the shoulder. Identical parts as the one on the hand.- the legs used the arm pincer parts for the "feet" and some kind of curved plate on the legs, imagine if you divided a ball into 8 parts and that's what that curved plate looked like.- the robot base was red and the "armor" was black and yellow. It was symmetrical, outside the arms and the shoulder cannon (which you could still put on any arm/shoulder).Comment too long. Click here to view the full text.
>>11879604nice going anon
>>11879571I'll see if I can upload a pic for you, but I have a toy like this>>11879592the one I have doesn't have the holes on top of the pegs. Another problem is that it didn't have a robot, it was largely a tiny kids version of legos, which I guess lets them take the piece apart easier. It had a lot of transparent piece though, but that was to build a simple house and car, no robot.
>>11879571Jesus FUCK I had that toy and had forgotten until just nowThough I think this is bound to happen every time someone posts an old toy
Had a bunch of those as a kid and while the balljoints weren't the tightest (that stuff came out like what, 15 years before Slizer/Throwbots?) the overall plastic quality was actually insanely good, like genuinely leagues above shit like Best-Lock or whatever LeLe, Lepin or DongChangPingPong knockoff came later.
>>11887757Yeah, that's why I used that image, it's one of those "everyone had this toy but forgot about it" pics.>>11887784Have to agree, never broke a single piece on that toy. Lost plenty, but never broke anything.
This is a general for rad toys. New releases, leaks, classics, things never produced. Anything rad, post it here.I'll start: Hiya Toys just put up the Warrior Bug 1/12 scale from Starship Troopers.
>>11885376He must have thought the R was a B.
>>11885217>Comes pre-brokenImpressive.
>>11885506Yes anon thought they Brad toys.>>11886382This funny
>>11885178No, it's a little larger. Figma is its own thing scale-wise and is more or less the same size as a classic joe or a starwars TVC. If you want to talk scale, it's quite a bit smaller than it should be, if you were using TVC/1:18 scale.Still using TVC as the standard here, the Hiya bug is more accurate at roughly 5 1/2 inches tall, give or take. So it's almost as big as a Marvel Legends figure, and scales correctly to TVC (1:18) figures.

Any fans of dinosaur figures here?
>>11892010Amazing articulation for a rhino of all things. They don't strike me as flexible animals
>>11892053Rhinos are basically horses with better durability. Shy of rearing up, they can probably do most of the things a horse can do.
>>11892176I remember reading about how they are technically the biggest animal that can "jump" since, because of the way they run, they become airborne while doing so
>>11892311Maybe biggest land animal. You ever seen an Orca jump out of the water at actual, GENUINE full speed? That shit makes the jump at the end of Free Willy actually seem plausible.
>>11892354I don't think breaching counts as jumping. It's its own thing.
Bandai's new Barabaride. It's like Crush Gear but Beyblade Burst.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PJIolNXZERU

>>11891058someone would probably mod this to accomodate an actual battery, and you can even charge it directly since USB-powered batteries are now a thing!
Out of fucking nowhere, ST Chogokin Golion/Volion reissue. Also a whole set of Goranger.
>>11886594Stealth Voltron was always my favorite. I don't know that he ever got any decent toys though.
>>11886594Interesting to see them dig the mold out, but I'd REALLY be interested in seeing if they had the actual combining DX version. that thing had a hell of a journey going from Bandai, to Matchox, to Trendmasters where it even got remolded, somehow. Wonder how that even worked, really wish the Trendmasters line got better coverage.
>almost $100Dude fucking why, unless the entire thing is metal
>>11887484IIRC the torso and lower legs are metal. Rest is plastic. I never handled it, but that’s just looking it on photos. But I do agree $100 is too much., if it was something like $60 that would’ve been much easier to swallow.

>>11885458>>11885472It's selective breeding. Yoshis have a shell naturally. But since they were domesticated as riding and pack animals, the shell was altered through breeding to be lower and softer, thus being a natural saddle. Those boots aren't boots either, something more akin to a hoof.

I just spent around $100 on the Gan 17. This is basically a cutting edge engineering breakthrough for Rubik's cubes: UV coating, 196 magnetics, 72 tightness settings, immaculate construction. The magnets actually cause the pieces to "autocomplete" turns or repel back to neutral under less than 45 degree turns. I feel minorly retarded because I am 34 and just spent $100 on a toy and havent been into cubing since I was a teen, but this feels like a big boy cube.
>>11878353Like jigsaws? The closest I've seen to real "cutting edged" innovation for those are these Edge Piece puzzles from Yetch which I find very aesthetically pleasing.
anybody else grab Maglev Megaminx? how is it
>>11877234as a casual I've never quite understood the appeal of these high-end cubes. I know there's a big difference between a rubiks branded one and things actually designed for speedcubing, but unless you're actively competing for WRs then things like maglev just feel like overkill.>>11878353I don't see any reason you couldn't make one yourself....though now that I think about it I'm not sure if that'd fit on /toy/ or /tg/. seems like one of those things that kinda gets lost in the cracks, kinda like how tokusatsu is an /m/ thing despite many not even featuring mechs.
>>11879265I know its overkill but it's honestly hard to describe how good this cube feels. I feel like Smeagol after finding the One Ring, I can't stop solving the thing. I've gone from solving Rubik's cube maybe 3 times in the last 10 years after losing interest in it from my teens, to now I am back down to solving in under a minute and a half and trying to get faster. I know that's not fast but I am basically remembering how to solve after not trying for 15+ years. Probably solved like 50+ times this week. This is the Roll's Royce of Rubik's Cubes, the Roll's Rubik's. Using a regular ass Rubik's Cube feels like absolute dogshit now. Things are creaky and hard to turn, just applying basic algorithms feels like a pain in the ass. The Gan 17 is so smooth you can apply algorithms with your eyes closed, you can turn the layers with a simple flick. This is like going from playing video games on a 15 fps Game and Watch to playing in 4K 144Hz. The degree of control is so much stronger, you can do fingertricks with absolute ease. The magnets are doing all the work for you to almost make it feel like magic in your hands.
I have a Rubik’s Cube Phantom but it’s too hot so all the colors are activated so I posted this stock image of it instead
Hi everyone, I have a question. What do you think about Mattel making a figure of New Jack, one of the most violent and controversial wrestlers in history? I’ll be reading your comments.
>>11884978It's not my fault that they lose their shit when confronted with reality
>>11884231jesus Zack
>>11884648TinyMite Kitten is the goat to who?
>>11884231Did Mattel ever make a Terri Runnels figure? She and New Jack used to date and I have ummm...ideas on how to pose them.
>>11887089She only ever had one action figure and it came out in 1998.
If true, I'm expecting modern remake designs like they did with Lara Croft. But there's that tiny hope they get the license for the original 90's designs as well.
>>11884468painfully obvious it's AI, please don't try to normalize being a retard

too bad gen13 never got a toyline and basically won't ever get a toyline.>>11880145what was the name of this line?>>11885800i'm tempted of getting mucus tick. I got the normal release and absolutely love him, unsure if double dipping on the same mold but I just fell in love with the figure.
>>11891014There are Gen 13 figures. They're all nearly 30 years old, but they exist, lol. They'd be right up these guy's >>11889681 alley.l, though I suppose Mattel could do them if they ever dipped into Image properties. Unless Brandon Choi has a say on merch?
>>11891014Yeah DC Direct made some I believe. You would think Jim Lee would have overseen some merch for Wildstorm products once he became more key but he really is a horribly useless fuck.
>>11891014>what was the name of this line?Amazing Heroes by Fresh Monkey Fiction. That's wave 7.

>>11882603Reminded me of CORPS!Probably not since they were army dudes. I think they were 6 inches and cheap.
>>11882603Its probably these. All of those good dollar store articulated figures were made by Chap Mei.
>>11883334Not these. They had really good articulation. Ball socket hips, hinge and swivel shoulders, ankle articulation. Way more than a dollar store toy typically had. I have searched pretty thoroughly and have never seen one again.
>>11884652Could they have been knock-offs of these?
>>11886336No, they were much more generic looking.

>>11889261nice, for the left wall, did you buy something ready-made or print it out at home?
>>11889278That's the wallpaper that came with the set. The Reefer Madness poster is something i printed up years ago.
>>11889261Kinda regret not picking this up, but like you said, the price felt high at the time
