Why does Hot Toys still insist on using rubber for their figures? I know they've made improvements over the years, but eventually the figures still rot. A figure that costs hundreds of dollars should not have a life-span of 5-8 years.
Threezero used an extra soft PVC for their figures, it will not rot (may leak plasticizer though)Honestly seamless stuff has improved greatly in the past few years, I have Phicen figures from 2018 that I pose around from time to time and the rubber is still going strong. I think even if the formula was perfected, people would still be superstitious about the skin ripping.
I've been using p303 rubber protectant for over a decade and highly recommend it.
>>11751264Does it leave a film?
>>11751268Initially yes, but you rub that all off afterwards. It works very well in the rubber dreads on hot toys predators. I've also used in on solid plastic figures which have matted from leaching.

Anybody have a MAFEX Soldier Boy for sale?
Haven't seen anyone talking about these, but I got Jazwares Aang in today. Honestly I'm pretty impressed, especially for the £20 I paid for him. Decently poseable, 6 pairs of hands to use (fists, open hands and grabbing hands), an alt head, the soft goods are pretty decent and removable by design, and the only QC issues I've got are some very slight paint chipping on the bending arrows and the waist balljoint tends to pop apart (easily fixed though).Honestly the "worst" thing I can say is he's Book 3 Aang and I have more memories of Book 1 and 2, so I am hoping for the Gaang to get figures based on their earlier appearances. Need to rewatch the show though, I have it on DVD now and I have very fond memories watching it with my sister.Anyone else in on this line?
>>11752325No one cares about the avatar comics or books, ATLA will be the legacy series. Pizza is still seen as italian even inAmerican. Especially since theres many variations of American pizza that stray from the origin.
>>11751889Honestly, I didn't even remember the forklift thing until you mentioned it and I've read every comic, so I don't think it's really enough to effect the stories like the Iroh and June thing where they REALLY went out of their way to make it weird. They even made sure to give him an age appropriate girlfriend he mentions with like a single line. But, yeah, the overall ideas for the stories are usually pretty good imo but the execution can be hit or miss and don't feel like they have enough time to breathe.>>11752319>people who came /toys or even came to 4chinz for /co and/or are comic book readers, aren't monolithic>using your /co background as some sort of authority, on the fucking toy board.>most toy collectors give two fucks about comics or canon appearance, etc.What a weirdly defensive reply to three people talking about comics that never suggested or did any of this.
>>11752366>What a weirdly defensive reply to three people talking about comicspeople read comics? AHAHHAHAAHAH
>>11752325Pizza is a type of food. Anime literally just means "cartoon made in Japan". It isn't a genre or anything and pretending that any cartoon more serious than Spongebob is anime is sort of insulting to creators outside of Japan and makes the word kind of meaningless.
>>11751516Iroh did do a lot of "growing up" since that early scene, so it doesn't seem unlikely he'd feel that was beneath his station in hindsight.
>Heyyyy...what's up guys. It's Anthony from Anthony's Cumstains, and for dis review, we are going to look at...Decent Figure from Company A.>*Sighhhh* Right off the bat, I'm gonna say, this figure is garbage. The paint job is terrible, there's only 1 shade of yellow instead of 56 shades. I'll give the look a 0 out of 10.>Okay, now let's look at the accessories. I mean, it's alright. 10 pairs of hands, 10 weapons, 10 power effects, and a stand. I feel like they could've included more, like a comic book and macbook, but it's alright. 5 out of 10.>Now let's look at the articulation. And oh my god, this is really bad. The waist can only bend 90 degree instead of 720 degree. And you can't even bend the legs up to its head and wrap around the neck! Oh my god...-10 out of 10, no, -100 out of 10!>As a self-proclaimed genius, I could've made this much, much better than this even though I've never made a single figure myself. I mean, just look at how critical I am, only an expert like me would nitpick everything.>Okay, so, final rating, 6 out of 10. I don't even know why they made this figure. I won't recommend this figure to anyone. For 30 dollars, you could've gotten so much more. But it's up to you. If you really like it, go ahead. I'll just label you as a retarded faggot because only my opinion is correct.>Thanks for watching, and I'll see you soon.

>>11751714Actually it's the right fucking thread.>>11751699Marvel Legends has better character selection and more affordable than Jap shit, which itself has shitty design, fragile as fuck, and panders only to the most pathetic casual cancers. Also Marvel Legends have considerable customization options that Jap shit lacks.
>>11751699See >>11751726Larger character selection (meaning you get deep cut character picks) plus affordable and you can play/post them without worrying about breaking them.
>>11751699until the last couple years they were reasonably priced and had large character selection, the mcu was also fucking huge for a long time and brought in a lot of collectors to the hobby

You all DID go to Barbiefest. Right?
>>11751393Mattel didn't kill Superstar the Karen Carpenter Story; it was the combination of the director Todd Haynes (yes THAT Todd Haynes) basically portraying Karen's brother as a closeted psychopath who hated his sister and him not getting the rights to the Carpenters music, which allowed her brother to bury the short filmm
>>11751641I honestly tried finding any marketing. I wanted to see what they could've possibly used to get people to pay this much money for something they couldn't even see pictures of.All I found were videos and banners on instagram saying all the shit they were supposed to have and women talking about how awesome it was going to be
>>11749027>>11749035I thought I read that Mattel DID sign off on it. It wasn't their convention, but it still had to be okayed by them. After the news came out of what happened they distanced themselves from it.
>>11751848Thanks for the info, I didn't realize haynes had done so many films. Might check out the velvet underground movie. I also wasn't aware that Richard was the real reason behind the movie being yanked, never really paid him much attention since I just like the sound of Karen singing and some of her drum solos and fills.
Me, I'm just curious if it was predominantly run by a man or a woman. As in, truly academically curious.

>>11753026My headcanon is that Lego trying to keep away from "war" relateg stuff is what limits technic a lot. It's mostly cars with occasional construction vehicle or some space stuff recently. But we could have tanks or other military vehicles. Where are all the aircrafts? Ships? Some mechas/robots? Plenty of these is often used in battles/conflicts so Lego wants to keep their hands clear. What about trains and trams then? Or some fun contraptions that aren't vehicles. There's so much cool stuff that you can find googling, but official sets have none of that.
>>11751038Oh boohoo the mini figure looks like a mini figure it was ass from the get go they still have technic sets they still use loads of bionicle parts in ninjago it’s bullshit they can’t bring back real bionicle
>“It hits on two challenging aspects. First, Bionicle, then second cosplay,” said Graphic Designer Tore Magelund Harmark-Alexandersen to Brick Fanatics at Fan Media Days 2025.>“If you do a cosplay elf warrior in a collectable minifigures series, it’s just going to look like an elf warrior. Where’s the cosplay aspect? Unless we do it in a rough way. So we thought marrying the two was a perfect solution, and having the little canister that they were originally in underlines that story.”https://www.brickfanatics.com/lego-minifigures-series-spotlight-bionicle/

>>11747040>runI know a dude that has this hobby. Haven't met face to face since he picked it up. Genuine question - what do you do with your cars? Race? Larp?
>>11745987I used to have a couple friends that were big on RC cars. That stopped.
>>11745987In my opinion, RC cars are one of those hobbies that require a local community/club to be enjoyable. It's only fun when you can show off your customs and drive them around, and the only place where you can do that are cons and other club parties.
The racing aspect is the worst part of the hobby. Second worst is parts. You are spending quite a bit compared to a RTR 60 dollar kids toy, and it can’t run on the lawn.

>>11757786>>11760109They already made too much Boomshit for my taste, so I'm glad they didn't. I don't want Bulk and Skull as Power Rangers, I just want Bulk and Skull as normal teens/cops/detectives/etc. I'd take Incredible Bulkster and Super Skull because they were home made costumes.
>>11760109>And they still had the nerve to do shit like the Street Fighter crossovers.I didn't mind the Ryu and Chun-Li Rangers, since they 'actually exist' and are in multiple projects. The Ken and Cammy Rangers pissed me off though, because they're not even in anything, and I heard they weren't even designed by the same person who did the first two, so they look like shit.
I appreciate this. Armored Red and Black often get figures, but Armorless Green rarely does.
>>11761112I'm actually surprised no company has ever put out a set like this before, at the very least an Armored Red/Shieldless Green. Guess it was more profitable to just do then individually.
>>11761112wow, they painted the helmets and green's morpher and trim
