>>11156056Two bucks doesn't even buy you a gallon of milk. Stop pretending a two dollar difference is the line between an affordable Shining Knight for the common man and the overpriced premium Xizor for elitist collectors. They'll both be collecting dust next to each other at Walmart.
when you're ready:>>11156062>>11156062>>11156062
>>11156061No one is pretending that. Facts matter, anon, just like the fact that McFarlane is scamming people with $30 "collector" editions vs 25 dollar Hasbro figures matters.
>>11156065All pricing is arbitrary, set by the sales teams to see how much they can squeeze out of consumers.
>>11156066True. For some 22.99 might be their limit for certain figures. For others they'd go higher. McFarlane is moving in the direction of making one line for paypigs and another for poor people, but the figures in both lines bear no differences.
I'm looking to get a replacement airsoft rifle for my broken g3. My field is semi auto only and my g3 busted and fires a 5 round burst on semi mode for some reasonI've been looking to replace it anywayI'm looking to replace it with this:https://www.evike.com/products/11844/Is this any good? I picked a relatively high priced one that would go good with my cold war era outfit. (pasgt, m81 woodland etc)This one's price seems good because I'm guessing that higher price = quality. There is also the CYMA m16a3 which is lower price but also looks goodNot sure if I should get this one either.. they look identical its weirdhttps://www.evike.com/products/30906/
>>11155497Better to ask in >>>/xs/
That is NOT a toy , that’s like a full on gun
>>11155581Do you not see the orange barrel tip, retard? Either way, it's not /toy/ it is /xs/.
>>11155497>>>/xs/airsoft>>11155581Airsoft guns like OP posted shoot lightweight plastic BBs at a low speed for playing a game (similar to nerf or paintball) and don't shoot hard enough to be actual weapons (some of the higher-powered ones can be tuned such that they'll damage eyes or chip teeth, but the common safety gear easily protects against this and maximum projectile mass and speed is regulated for gameplay). In contrast, air guns shoot dense metal BBs and pellets and can be used for target shooting and sometimes hunting, depending on the model. >>11155587/xs/ definitely has the stronger airsoft community but a thread on /toy/ focused on the replica and collecting side of airsoft rather than the performance and competitive side could work well.
>>11155497Oh boy I get to pull this one out of the attic...
I'm going to Phoenix, Arizona for a week is there any good toy/collectible stores worth checking out while I'm there?
>>11152488dubs, damn I can't argue with that.
>>11152487Toy Anxiety has a decent selection, from high-end statues to loose figures, but it was a disorganized mess last time I visited.Collectors Marketplace is good for retro figures. It's almost like a mini Frank and Sons, where each section is stocked and organized by a different person.
>>11152487It’s America no the chains got killed by venture capitalism and the ma&pa comicbook shops got killed by Amazon/covid/trumpinomics
>>11152487>>11152804Seconding this. If you could only visit a couple of toy stores in Phoenix those two would be it. Note that Toy Anxiety is closed on Mondays and Tuesdays.A couple of other options in the general metro area are Zia Record Stores which do take secondhand toys along with books and media if you want to try your luck. The metro also has a couple of Bookmans Entertainment Exchanges which also have used toy and collectible sections like Zia. Book-Off also recently opened a branch in Mesa if you find yourself out there, they specialize in weeb toys/collectibles, but also have an aisle/glass case dedicated to western items. The mesa branch of Bookmans is also in that general area.If you have a passing interest in antiques, the North Phoenix Branch of Brass Armadillo is massive and has an eclectic pool of vendors. You can also chat up an employee over how haunted their building is. If you're in Glendale's old town, there is a half Vintage Toy Store / Dollhouse Store called Smilin Jack's Peddle Cars and Antie Em's Miniatures respectively. Specializing in vintage toys. It's a charming little store worth a visit if you end up stomping around Glendale. Tri-Force Collectibles and Drawn to Comics are just a couple of blocks over in the same old town district. They should also have stuff to peruse and those two stores are just across the street from each other.
>>11152804>>11154415Thanks for the tip.>>11152986Okay.
I'm a 26 year old man who loves Dolls and stuffed animals. Anyone else? We're watching Rozen Maiden right now. Post Dolls.
>>11137896>We're watching Rozen Maiden right now.Good taste>>11139047>>11146854>>11146912>>11146919You all realize the action figures you argue about on this board are just dolls under a different marketing term, right?
I just turned 32, male, and i bought two g3 monster high dolls.I kinda want to shrink their heads a bit with acetone like i saw one some youtube vid.I have a draculaura and an abby bominable. They're kinda sweet. Bodies always suck on these girly dolls that arent super high end jap dolls but these are cool and i like weird pastel skintones.
>>11152147>ruining your toys by shrinking their headsShame on you anon
>>11149991There is also material difference unless you are from the 60s. Action figures avoid cloth like a plague.
>>11137896>>>/jp/47797012 might be more your speed.
Lost and never found..
>>11136990same
>>11136990I had this figure called Creepy back in the late 80's, so I bought a replacement a few months ago and have been in the habit of buying old toys and magazines that I once had but lost!!!FACT!!!
The Red, Green, and Black Lions.
>>11136990Related story-One time when I was very little, like 1 or 2, I lost a power ranger outside. Little plastic figurine, no articulation, probably 2 inches tall, very cheap I'm sure, since my mom bought multiples of them all so she could "find them" when I inevitably lost them. Anyway I'm upset because I lost my ranger playing outside so she grabs one from wherever she stored them, "finds" him and I continue happily playing while she gardens or whatever. A little later she looks over and I've got a very confused look on my face, like "the cogs were really turning", and she comes over to see I've found the ranger I lost, and now I've got one in each hand, unable to comprehend how this could be possible in my little baby brain.
Yeah I really fucked up

>>11157829It feels like a miracle if we get any more gfl figures at all at this point
>>11158066how is the range, quality of the plastic and overall compared with the figma one?
>>11159018The range on the model kit is limited by the skirt and the swimsuit body doesn't have butterfly shoulders. The plastic quality is pretty good but the hair certainly needs a matte top coat. The model kit is pretty hollow though, and despite being larger, it weighs less than the figma. The hat is done way better though, with a swappable ball peg hair piece.Overall I'd give the figma 9/10 and the model kit 8/10
>>11159004Last I heard they were still releasing scale statues so fingers crossed. I wouldn't expect AR or Defy tho.
>>11159144I'm usually one of the sorta defenders of the Megumin Figma, but 9/10 are you fucking high?Sure it looks like her very well, but thats a starting point, if a figma doesn't achieve that I'd say its below a 0/10.Hat IS gay as aids, The cloak is bad to use, the eye patch is pretty bad and if you were one of the quite a few with paint issues then its even worse all around. Anywho, I appreciate the pictures for comparison between the two as I was interested in the model kit>>11158066>>11158552Kinda sucks, would have been nice to put Roxy with the Eris Figma. Don't know how we didn't get more mushoku figma, this timeline is pretty shit.
Hey, anons. I'd like to add some missing paint apps to some of my figures. I saw these at hobby lobby for $2.70 a bottle and wondered if any if you have had experiences with them. Not really looking to spend major dollar on citadel and vallejo since I wouldn't be using them that often or need high quality touch up. I've use regular craft paints on figures before but Im hoping these have a better adherance.
>>11142457I went ahead and grabbed some primary colors. So far I am happy with it for what I wanted to use them for. Seems to stick to the figure plastic much better than the regular folk art. Dries to the same sheen as the rest of the figures paints apps. Going to let them dry for a week at least to really make sure it cures properly.
>>11141427these are fine, I have to water them down to get a smooth finish, lots of thin coats
Use primer first.
>>11141878Paint markers from Michael's.
That's actually what I use for my model kits, since I'm mostly just touching up the metal parts that look like shit if you leave them grey.I use an eyedropper to get just enough water in to thin it out, since you need to layer it on thin over a few days.
Just got into these and apparently it's pretty hard to find some sets nowadays. I'm trying to hunt down the Rampage armor and Churro, but it seems pretty tricky. Anybody else still looking for these?
there as already a final faction thread up from a few weeks ago. i'll link it for anyone who'd like to migrate. >>11142153Really though the line seems to be inching towards the end of its life span. I cant imagine dollar tree will have much more stock left by 2026, its frankly surprising they had enough to make it this far. Your best bet on your search for churro and the rampage armor would be a visit to a dollar tree out of town. richer areas especially always seem to be better stocked. the easy option is just buying a case from DT

BST AXN bros Did a DEI hire do this ? Or did they just run out of boxes ?
This is one of those few times when I'd rather go Diamond Select.
>>11150671Freaking shit pic came out sideways Sorry for being a retard
BST TY EVR Y U NO LIKEMAM NO DSLIK
>>11150671Their Lord of the Rings offerings were pretty bad and I'm not surprised it was limited to just a few figures. I think the worst thing about them is that we have the Toybiz 30POA figures to compare them to. Those are full 1/12 scale and the paint apps aren't even that bad for 20 year old toys. Comparatively, Loyal Subjects' toys are smaller, less detailed, and have very basic looking paint that doesn't do justice to how the characters look in the movies.Diamond Select's figures are bigger than the Toy Biz ones which I think is a missed opportunity. And even though they released more figures than Loyal Subjects, their line was still a limited series, and despite the nice details you still get all the quality control and durability problems that come with Diamond Select.I think the place where Loyal Subjects / BST AXN is finding a fruitful niche is their IDW Comics Ninja Turtles line. They're the only toy company who took a chance on it, and a lot of popular characters who first appeared in those comics are getting toys for the first time now. The articulation cuts are occasionally odd but the detail is overall good and a lot of the toys are bigger and more substantial than the other figures they've done. It's apparently doing pretty well because it's turned into an entire line which is a bit unusual for Loyal Subjects.

>>11150446Why would they when even Microsoft isn't continuing halo?
>>11150985Good thing Microsoft isn't discontinuing Halo. I mean, maybe they should with 343 at the helm, but they haven't yet. Fwiw, there's no word that Jazzwares has stopped with Halo either. I think there was a wave early this year and the designers have said that it's going last I checked. You just don't get any announcements or anything. I don't even collect this line but I would like to get my hands on a decent Halo 3 chief figure if the somewhat decent Jazzwares one didn't cost $200 on the secondary market now.
>>11150026Id actually buy Jazwares if we got correctly scaled covies and marines...
>>11151256Companies don't make announcements that they stopped licensing a series.They quietly let the license lapse and hope no one notices. Even the licensor doesn't want everyone to know their property is so shit it failed to sell toys.Jazwares has shown nothing in probably a year and most stores stopped carrying the line almost just as long, so it's safe to say the line is dead.I mean, at SDCC this year, they were showing something off at the bottom corner of their booth, but that's because they still have the license and are forced to market it still to honor the license that is expiring this year. You probably won't even see what they displayed this year, because the figures htey put the Halo display at shin level. I don't even remember what they had on display, except it was nothing new.They also didn't announce anything at their panel either.Halo toyline is as dead as 343.
