it was like a few cents to a dollar more expensive than Wal-mart most of the time. Sometimes KB would be a few dollars more(like $12 for a deluxe TF over $10) but they also had a better chance of restocking.
You old fucks traded a shop full of toys for a shrinking Wal-mart/Target aisle that never needs to restock anymore because they have no competitors, all to save like $1 on $10 toys.

Why do you guys call it 're print'? This isn't a book, or poster or anything. It's 're release' or 're run' as in production run

>>11304412
Why do you calls call it a 'run'? It's a toy, Sonic doesn't literally run into the box like the games. It's a 're mold' as in toys are made with molds.

>>11304442
>Why do you calls call it a 'run'?
Production run. That's what it's called each time something is produced at the factories.

> It's a 're mold' as in toys are made with molds.
No, it's not. A 'mold' is the steel tooling that the plastic is injected into. Once a mold is made for a figure, it's good for many years and probably hundreds of thousands of uses. The Charmy figure hasn't been in dozens of waves like the regular Sonic bodies and is not going to be worn out or in need of a 're-mold'

It's time for a figure to be 're-molded' when the parts produced are getting defective, as this anon talked about here >>11300599 like what's happened with the Sonic and Super Sonic from the 3 pack.

I successfully begged mom to get me the first collector's set, was the worst day ever when I lost my Enterprise-D after it fell from my pocket somewhere. Got a few of the 3-packs over time and picked up more on ebay since, annoys me that most of the ships in that set didn't get additional releases in the 3-packs and are correspondingly rare and expensive.

Have been collecting Attack Wing and Tactics minis to scratch that itch, finally have someone to learn the games with which helps justify it all heh.

>>11296755
Regretfully I broke my Enterprise-A from that set, still have it with the saucer glued back in place but it's the worse for wear, kinda like that scene in Star Trek III when the Enterprise docks and everyone is gasping over the battle damage from their fight with Khan.

Got a couple more 200x figures to throw on the hokuto shelf.

>>11286790
Raoh and Kenshiro came in today. Kenshiro is more fun to pose and fiddle with than I expected, and Raoh is somewhat less fun than I expected. Still, cool display pieces and Raoh has a lot of presence just standing there.

Speaking of MHA, I noticed something with Ochako. She has a thigh cut rotation which is always an eyesore especially a straight cut across zero detailing area. And they're completely pointless because the knee joints can rotate plenty enough already. You know one of the benefits Revoltech had from the start with their spherical joints. How her hip joints are designed can be done with ball joints too including the crotch cover pieces, SHF does that lots of times. So there's no need for the thighs to be 2 pieces sandwiching hinge joints. What I'm saying is Maoji is an idiot. Her size is off anyways so if more MHA means more of his involvement I wish it's dead. Toga's wrists are awful looking, the guy maybe able to sculpt but can't engineer action figures.

>>11304432
>despite being just 15cm
That's on the bigger size for collector's mecha action figures. To go bigger you typically jump up a grade and add another $100 or more.

Not only does this AY comes with lots of accessories, the main figure requires more parts to assemble. That's more costs for molds, more time for assembling. If a few cm matter so much, get a model kit. Infinity is bigger and cheaper.

>>11304447
I imagined it was parts count that was the issue, I just don't know how Revoltech worked engineering-wise and how much it's improved since the old robot ones from 20 or so years ago.
>Infinity is bigger and cheaper.
I have it, but it's just gathering dust since I'm nervous about not being gentle with it. I'd really love a Mazinger I could play with, without worrying too much, is Revoltech more favourable for that, or should I look into Chogokin figures?

>>11304455
This Revoltech isn't a Revoltech in the sense that it uses the joints that the new Revoltechs and AY are using, the joints used in the old ones aren't used to begin with. This Mazinger Z is like the AY Optimus Prime. It is closer to a model kit than a PVC action figures like Revoltechs, figma, ML, DC Multiverse, etc.

So something to play with isn't really what this one might be. Compared to like an AY Spider-Man for example. The plastic type that makes up the bulk of the figure is different.

I'm not a huge fan of Chogokins so can't say, Only got some SRC back in the day and they're okay. SOC to me seems more for display though. There might be a Mazinger X Robot Spirits in the future? Grendizer U was shit though so who knows.

>>11304318
The nomu army would need a lot more then just headswapping, to be honest. There was a massive variety of body types and quirks, not to mention the other colors. Personally I'd be fine if we just got the iconic ones (USJ and Hood) as counterparts to all might and endeavor and left it at that.
Also, I hope we eventually get a shiggy that isn't his fucking boring final form. Hand coat man was so much cooler

>>11302537

>non-legion Skeletons
Do you have the Ghost Rabbit/Yoto Toy Redemption Skeletons?
I preordered the Snake Skeletons and the Mimic (which definitely seems to reuse the legs of the Redemption Skellies) and am curious if I am gonna regret it.
I bought two of the Boss fight ones, and they are pretty good for anatomically correct skeletons as opposed to the new super chonky Legions ones which I do like, but don't look realistic at all. Whichever anon said they should have packed the orc skull in with the Skeleton LB2 was right. They would work better as inhuman Skeletons. But they really are super sturdy.

Oh he works just fine, I even made a similar silver of him when I mixed the Urkku Orc with Barbarian Builder set and threw on an extra head I had. (he's in pic related, taken circa 2018) But he always felt just really boring, especially compared to some of the other characters in his wave. Just nothing really stood out about him to the point where if they just didn't paint him and sold him as a Legion Builder, he probably would've been a more popular figure.

I've actually broke him down for parts not too long ago and rebuilt him with some Wal-Tor parts to make the horned dude on the far left of this pic. >11289214


>>11302558
Yes, I do have some Redemption Skeletons. I also have Kulu World, Storm Collectibles (both standard and deadframe), the October Toys Skeleton Warriors, the S7 Black Falcon, the Jazwares pirate from Fortnite, an FFVIII Forbidden and the previously mentioned BFS, Revoltech Skeletons and the Fwoosh garbage.

The Redemption skeletons are nice and solid, but they are pretty damn wonky, almost cartoonish in their build and design. They also feel kind of...waxy I would say. There's a shine to their plastic that other figures don't have. They're not very anatomically accurate, but they do have solid joints, a good range of movement and a LOT of personality. They're also pretty big and chunky, not as big as the Legion Skeletons, or as tall as the Storm ones, but they definitely like the bruisers of the horde.

I doubt you'll be disappointed, as both the Mimic and the Snake Skeletons actually look like a lot of fun. I've been tempted to grab both sets of figures, but other things usually spring up to sap my toy budget. I mean, I certainly wasn't planning to drop $50 on an Elric of Melnibone figure when I woke up yesterday....but here we are.

>>11302157
>has completely given up on defending 4H and his own arguments after needing to pointedly explain his rationale
Whoa, maybe you're not so retarded after all. You just have the intelligence of a grade schooler.

This only proves that you can't actually justify 4H who is pocketing your money and not using proper quality control, hence all the problems they've been experiencing.

And no, nitpicking at typos and deleting/not-deleting a word when changing a sentence doesn't justify 4H's unhealthy business model of begging for money before being able to produce anything.

Also, i just remembered that someone said that making the molds is part of the pre-production process to excuse 4H's bumblings. HAHAH! Literally the most expensive part of the production process and why loans and credit are needed.
Technically, prototyping is part of the production process too, but it's a relatively minor step and not that expensive. 3d modeling and 3d printing has become incredibly cheap and fast. Hence most poorfag kickstarters already showing those off before the kickstarter even starts.

>>11302688
>almost cartoonish in their build and design.
That's what put me off ever getting the Redemption Skellies (same with the Kulu World ones that are very stylized), but for the Snake and Mimic Skellies the weird cartoony proportions work better. Whereas the Fwoosh skellies were just...ugly. The more I looked at them, the more I hated them.
I've also got the Dead Frames but only ever messed with one from the two pack due to their notorious fragility in the joints, but spent a lot of time dunking it in hot water and working those limbs so he's held up so far. And I bought an old Revo Harryhausen Skeleton from Mandarake cheap that hasn't become a total floppy mess yet.

We are in a thread for a company that sells Golden Girls and ALF shit. Clarence is one of the most memorable villains of the 80s, and Emil will probably sell pretty well, but I'd be more inclined to get toxic waste Emil in that scale. The other 3 will only be for people that really want to complete the gang. Seriously, what's the point of bullet riddled Alex Murphy without the guys that put the bullets in him?

>>11283487

>>11295229
That's because the old specials are called Charlie Brown, like Happy New Year Charlie Brown. The creator HATED the Peanuts name, it was called Peanuts by a random editor.
