My dad made me lose my teddy bear when I was 9. We were staying at a hotel for a function held by one of his friends, and on the morning of checkout, he threw a tantrum because there were ants in his Saab. In the chaos, the room didn't get checked thoroughly enough and it got left behind.I can't find any photos of it, so I don't know what brand or model it was.I'm sure most millennials/x-ers from dysfunctional families have stories like this. Why do we let boomers get away with it.
>>11678818The ants weren't in his food. They were in the car. A normal adult would have just taken it in their stride and grabbed a can of bugspray. OP's dad couldn't regulate his emotions so he threw a tantrum instead of dealing with it like a well adjusted person.
>>11678784He didn't destroy it. It got accidentally left behind while checking out. You're using that as an excuse to rob you parents of their grandchild.Christmas 2024 was the first I spent without my dad. We lost him to cancer just four days earlier. Christmas 2025 had my mom in the hospital for a tag-team combination of bloodclot and that new strain of super-influenza going around. She's still there. I spent part of Christmas with her, and the rest alone. Once upon a time we had a big table with a big family that just enjoyed the season. My brother and sister disappeared into the world, so fucked if I know where they're at. That time you have is shorter than you think. So when the table is full of family, get the fuck over yourself and just appreciate it while you can.
>>11678953How is that one event make HIS entire family dysfunctional. Can OP actually answer me himself
>>11678995>He didn't destroy itMy brother did destroy my stuff and you replied to me, get your replies straight, stop trying to paint this as if I am in the wrong when you don't even know who you're talking to. bro. I'm not making any excuses, I filter anyone with current repeated bad behavior from seeing my child. The time "they" have is shorter than they think, if they don't notice it enough to change their behavior then that's on them, I'm not their parent, I have my own kid to educate, and there's a myriad of other emotionally available and healthy adults in my family eager to shower my kids with affection.I am the fuck over myself, if I wasn't I'd use my kids to get stuff from my parents for myself.
>>11679005Not OP, but chances are this one incident doesn't paint the full picture, and to get a grasp of how dysfunctional his family wass would require a bunch of non /toy/ related anecdotes.Like I can tell you about my dad breaking one of my Christmas presents on Christmas day because he was an impatient asshole, but that doesn't make my family appear dysfunctional. I'd need to go into how my earliest memory is of my parents fighting, the alcoholism/binge drinking by both, and the times dad loaded up the 12 gauge and threatened to shoot the entire family for you to see how dysfunctional my family was.But breaking my Saurolophus Dino Rider is the only part that is /toy/ related.
Remember that billy and mandy episode where billy was infatuated with a power rangers/dinosaucers combination parody and everyone called him a geeky faggot child for liking toys still? That episode hit really close to home hence why it was so fucking funny to mehttps://youtu.be/4sMS6ECEPhg
Kochikame ep 46 is about action figure collectors, also pretty funny. It's on nyaa with subs
>>11676806OH and for Americans it's on youtubehttps://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLhGamQZtJ7K__By2hIc_gD1fTwzjxP7IM
>>11671478Every once in a while I still like to say "Full on Friendship" when playing vidya with the boys. Great episode.
>>11671478Raggedy Ann & Andy: A Musical Adventure might be utter nonsense but it has some of the most gorgeous animation that I have ever seen and it is absolutely adorable.Since I used the same example in the last thread we had like this I'll also add the fake toy commercials from Danger 5 season 2. The Mengele set is genuinely pretty cool.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_cJCvce05YI
>>11678198Why is raggedy ann so sexy, bros?
Red Aero Pegasus confirmed for the next app rotation. Save your points.
For what builds would you want to use anything taller than x-60 ?
>>11680772Aside from cheating space with "X-70 Low Y" combos when the 60 version's already in your deck, there's not much of a reason to.People always liked to say Silver Wolf and Tyranno Beat should've been on 70 when they were in the meta, but then they were still overwhelmingly on 60 in all the finals lists they were featured in. Same with Meteor Dragoon, it's being mostly played on 60 now too despite everyone saying 1-70 and 7-70 were the ratchets for it. I sometimes see Rod running 1-70 to give 1-60 to something else in the deck, but that just makes it lose to the 1-60 Rods.I think the only real 70 builds now are the Pegasus Blast Wheel ones, just because you want Wheel taking all the hits.
Can someone explain what ratchets are good for? Like height makes sense to me, but what I've seen says ratchets with fewer bumps are more resistant to burst, so why use 9 ones? Hope this makes sense I'm a total beginner
>>11680929>Can someone explain what ratchets are good for?Balance and stamina, mostly, but there's a couple with uses beyond that. The shape of 1-60 and 1-70 throws all of their weight into one point, which helps Attack types hit harder on that one contact point. The shape also lets it bounce off the Over Zone walls and gives your Bey a chance to jump out. 7-60 and 7-70 weigh 2 grams more than the other ratchets because of how thick and blocky the 7-ring is, so they're used to give lighter stuff a little extra weight, or to make Beys that are already heavy hit even harder.>but what I've seen says ratchets with fewer bumps are more resistant to burst, so why use 9 ones?The 9-XX ratchets have the smallest diameter rings out of any of them. It doesn't matter how many bumps they have, you're not going to make any meaningful contact with them. Compare 9-60 to 5-60 or 6-60. It doesn't make them better just because they have fewer protrusions.>Hope this makes sense I'm a total beginner.1-60, 3-60, and 9-60 are the three best ratchets in the game and they're pretty much universally good on most things, but it depends on your Bey's shape and weight distribution. Something like Cobalt Dragoon will usually run 5-60 over anything else because it has big imbalance holes cut out in its blade, and the bottom two points of 5-60's star line up directly with those holes to put weight where there is none.
>>11680953Thanks anon, this is helpful. Now to decide what to buy...
I wish Labubus looked like this
I wish tokidoki had articulation.
Brotoys has pics of their 1/12 third party DMC5 Dante and Nero
and an alternative head
I feel like he's kinda big... I still want him.
>>11671722They look great but I just know that pleather is going to flake off in a few years.
>>11679089When the pleather starts breaking, it probably won't be too hard to find a replacement normal cloth goods trenchcoat for Not Dante, but I'm not sure about the pants. There's probably lots of 1/12 black pants out there but I don't know how they put on the pants on these kinds of figures. Can you just pop off the boots and slide off the pants or is there extra fabric that hooks onto the waist?
>>11679089Yup, same thoughts. POd anyway since the RYU is a good figure.Fucked up thjajt nero gets cloth goods that will last vs dante pleather.
are they good?are they even toys?are they slop?what's the general consensus of hot toys because every time i come across a hot toys collector, they just don't seem all that intelligent.
I've been collecting them for years but have had to downsize recently. >are they good?Very, but the new artesian line has issues with the realistic hair. >are they even toys?Kind of, a lot of the ones with full-body costumes have limited flexibility and are hard to pose and leaving them in a pose could stretch out the material used. >are they slop?They're the furthest away from slop in terms of quality but they're big name brands like Marvel so if that's slop then yes. >what's the general consensus of hot toys because every time i come across a hot toys collector, they just don't seem all that intelligentThey cost hundreds of dollars so I doubt people who buy them in large quantities like myself are very smart. I've been cutting down as back then I was buying very impulsively and some things I really don't need a 1/6 scale figure of. The good thing is they retain their value and sell sometimes higher than what I paid for depending on the character.
I've always wondered who buys these multi thousand dollar statues of movie characters. Then I saw this and I think I know now.
I got into Hot Toys around 2015 or so when an anon here bought a HT Iron Man accidentally when he was getting his friend a gift and got into them for a bit. He helped disspell a lot of preconceived ideas about them like a lack of articulation, and while they aren't Revoltech level he was ale to show off Iron Man posing well. He was also finding some decent prices under $200 on some figures as well.There was actually some great deals on Mandarake at the time and you could get a bunch of figures for $150 shipped. Like Silver Centurion Iron Man. That said, both the price and the quality has increased to the point where it's frustrating and too expensive for me to be into them. There's also so many versions of characters you end up double dipping or constantly upgrading It just stopped being fun, and my OCD would flare up when an even more expensive company like InArt would offer a better, pricier version and then the cheaper, lesser version feels pointless. stylized toys will always have their own niche, but with a replica style toy the point will partly be the be the most realistic look. So anything that's not top of the line is at risk of dating quickly. I do think the comic based figures they've been doing are cool, but also way too pricy for what I'd be willing to spend.
>>11674563Yeah, they’re great for Iron Man and they’ve made some absolute beauties. I don’t really love anything else they’ve made that has excess soft goods, but they do good Iron Men.
>>11674263Nothey're dollsi don't know what this meanssux

>>11678956>>11679236Thanks anons. Appreciate the help.
>>11679279These sets aren't really pleasant to build
>>11679453cause it's not fucking out yet you fucking retarded piece of shit
>>11679951Cope.
Right now theres a cartoonishly crazy control freak, obsessed schizophrenic loser of a woman repeatedly making giga autistic demands at me to remove 3 words from my ebay listings title. Who tf does she think she is? WTF...??? Why even need or pretend to need words on my single listing altered? Block me or don't buy it if it is triggering your flipped brain? I want to piss her off as much as possible without getting penalized. What should i do? Ideas so far:>>say yes when its still there and if she keeps on, keep saying yes i did remove it>>say no, with some boomer agitating photo or emojis... wish i could send the plush doing the middle finger but I'd get suspended probably>>keep ignoring while listing more shit>>say youre not the boss of me now>>say stop telling me what to do mom/grandma!!!
>>11671372I operate 2 eBay stores that rack in an annual 32k each year. I am easygoing, but I block resellers. I just don’t like them and it especially kills me when I see them relist something I sold them when it hadn’t even arrived yet and they used images I took. A few years ago I cancelled orders for one and it turns out they were in a Facebook group dedicated to scalping/reselling hot items. Guy made a post and got people to buy stuff from me and reviewbombed me, causing my account to be deleted. Only took 1 phone call and sending eBay representatives screenshots from the Facebook group and they were all banned and my account reinstated. Found a cease and desist template online and mailed it to each one of the addresses (don’t actually have a lawyer but did it anyways). Got a physical apology from one of them.
>>11675501Record video of you packing and sealing the parcel as well as handing it to the post office. Use recorded/tracked post with the weight noted on the receipt. Always state ‘sold as seen’ and your preowned but still sealed items should still be labelled ‘used’ to avoid scammers saying it’s been taken out of the packaging to try to get a refund etc.
>>11674041I always put on the listing and disclose during correspondence when an item will ship. I work 12-13hr shifts 4-5 days a week. If they order on a Sunday it won't ship until the following Friday or Saturday. But every fuckin week Ill either get complaints or get messaged by retards asking for tracking numbers. Some of them seem to think I generate the tracking numbers personally.>>11675501The reality is you cannot be immune to this shit but >>11675815 is a good start. Ive found the most reliable buying selling environment is actually local fan groups or niche communities. If you can cash in hand with locals or get a decent reputation in a group as a seller you're far less likely to have issues.
>>11673172I'm in some Facebook groups and it's hilarious yet nerve-wracking how some idiots cannot wait 3 fucking days before posting in desperation cause they fear their toy might've been stolen/lost. Like, calm your tits dude the figure was just sent from the other side of the damn world and you already expect it to be at your doorstep after less than 5 days.
>>11675501I would try B/S/T here and even though people bitch, reddit. I would also post on FB. Both will let you sell individually without having to fucking make one single sales page post per toy. You'll take less photos that way but you should still photograph everything a few times because serious people will ask.50-70 is a lot and it will take time to dump especially if you want to receive some value. If you just want to unload and do it quickly make a few sensible lots, so you can dump the peg warmers in your collection in with desirable stuff, price them to sell plus 20% per lot, and post on eBay.Use Pirateship. Refuse to ship outside the USA.
How do you buy rare toys off of social media and not get scammed?
>>11676412I have never got scammed in person.
>>11673300>ZelleZelle is run and owned by actual banks and it's just another way for them to make money now that they can't charge all these fucking fees because people expect free checking or don't even use checks.>>11676412Someone passed me a $100 counterfeit bill. Was it intentional, who knows. And asking for $20 as I started doing after that, doesn't help since it gets counterfeited as much. And yes, it looked that good.
>>11678277You’re a fucking dumbass lmfao
>>11678277Avoiding counterfeit cash is super easy. Just look at shit in the sun, because 99.9999% dont bother to use the right paper, muchless have paper that gets watermarked.And those counterfeit markers are really cheap. They're so cheap you can probably get one for free if you ask a friendly owner/manager, if not a used one for a buck.Also, a black light will make the metallic strips shine in day-glo colors. I think everyone who owns a toy should own a blacklight flashlight, because who doesn't own glow in the dark toys? Shit makes your figures instantly bright.
>>11678465I'm sure you feel better about yourself, son.At least your mommy loves you and lets you live in her basement.One day, you'll inherit the house and even though you'll be an old, fat virgin by then, you'll finally have the freedom to have some tranny hooker swing by to give you a handsy so you can pretend you're no longer a virgin.

>>11680274Does this company make horses or centaurs? You could probably make a BotW Lynel custom with the middle torso and up.
Why isn't Playmobil more popular?
>>11677439Why don't you just buy domestic? >_>
I offen wonder what kinda crap Asian people import from America.
>>11677439Another note on the "free shipping": they have a .jp site and a .com/international one. The latter pretty much has baked in higher prices compared to the domestic site to make up for the free shipping they offer so regularly.Anybody who's worked with forwarders and proxies should do the math and see if it's better to go through those. This may end up being cheaper, but doesn't have to be.If the forwarder undervalues, that'd save you some of those taxes and duties, too, but obviously not everything.
>>11677907Find me a shop that sells Japanese only Gashapon items individually and I will. >>11677948Last year when I used their site, the free shipping was absolutely worth it. I was buying items worth $1-3 a pop and my total order could be as low as $20-30 bucks, so even if their price per item was "higher" I didn't mind. Throw in the fact that this site is the *only* site I found that had a deep and frequently updating stock of the items I was looking for, and was selling them at non-absurd prices (for the most part, ebay prices for these things was three times higher) and it was very much worth buying from them. I'm glad I got everything I wanted back before the changes, because it wouldn't be worth making those small orders now. ....err, but yea, Playmobil. I managed to decorate that Castle I bought! Re-ment's stuff works really well with Playmobil's scale and has much nicer details then Playmobil's accessories. The Castle itself is still missing some key pieces that kind of bug me, but it's complete enough for me to play with and I'm not sure if it's worth investing more money into just to get those last two or three items I really want. Maybe I'll try and grab some pics when the kid goes to bed, can't get anywhere near it while she's awake because as soon as i start to play with it she wants to play with it too lol.
>>11678478Did you buy her a castle?
Why do toy companies have this fascination with making toys that have lights and sounds and then pretending it’s some kind of revolutionary technology? Hasbro did it with CommTech and Force Link for Star Wars, and LEGO did it with the whole “Smart Play” thing. Why?
>>11670753>"i hate that the actors were ashamed of being apart of the nanking style rape of star wars and i respect the dumb fetal alcohol syndrome pin head who stood up for her character that was artificially pushed by the feminist swine studio head"Shut the fuck up you absolute faglord
>>11668584Why did rian think killing snoke would possibly be a good idea? Kylo could never replace him as a villain as kylo ren stopped being cool the moment he smashed apart his awesome helmet and became some faggy love interest for rey that was straight out of a YA novel from like 2010
>>11670753Yeah, their job was to act and go on promo tours, and they did that job. Now they’re free to say they don’t like the final product and just did it for the money. They don’t need to swear undying fealty to Disney just because they acted in a movie once.
>>11667533Force Link was such a piece of shit. It was clunky, it barely worked, and on top of that there was no way to update it. They had to release a second version that had samples for the new figures and it would have just kept going like that because fuck you, you're a kid and you don't get to demand futreproofability, now buy the slop.Somehow Hasbro managed to do this same basic concept 20 years earlier and did it much better with the Commtech chips that came with Episode I figures. Yes the chips were not in the figures themselves but the functionality was much better and you only needed the one scanner and you were set. You could even save up to four onto the scanner's memory, and it had some fun Star Wars sounds like lasers, lightsabers and explosions built in.
