Why does collecting /toy/s carry the stigma of "virgin loser"?
>>11799580>Sony eclipsed NintendoLol, lmao even
>>11822456Yes, reality's often amusing.
>>11798973>Why does collecting /toy/s carry the stigma of "virgin loser"?Because you are one, but not because you're collecting toys.Women want attention.If a man does anything else aside from giving a woman attention then they will do and say anything in order to shame you into giving them attention.The catch: if a man gives a woman his full attention then she'll hate him for it. Women are logical in the same way men can be pregnant.Caring about what a woman thinks about anything is the pure definition of "virgin loser".Let me give you an example. I knew this guy that was really into Naruto. He wasn't a weeb but Naruto was his thing. His girlfriend implied once that a man in his 30s watching cartoons is pathetic. He said to her: "I've been watching Naruto for almost two decades. I've only been dating you for 4 years. Are you sure you want me to make a choice?"Now they're married and he's still watching Naruto.
>>11798973>meets woman>tells him to sell his shit>marries woman>wedding is paid with the money from those sales
>>11822745>Sony>Not Playstation That's embarrassingly low considering how much they manufacture besides Playstations
Hello anons. Has anyone seen these minis on aliexpress? I've been trying to find them, but had no luck. If you'd be kind enough to provide me with a link I'll greatly appreciate it.
>>11814157>>11814885Concession accepted ESL-kun, feel free to go back to playing DoW instead of ever owning minis.

>>11819277>One of the last of a shape changing race who gets killed off promptly after delivering the required exposition to the heroes? Sounds vaguely familiar.Elfangor wasn't the last of his race, though - the Andalites were just fighting their war on the other end of the galaxy - Earth was a backwater that they didn't particularly care too much about, and Elfangor was only there due to time-travel shenanigans after having lived a lifetime as a human and having a human child and wife there he wanted to protect....At least from what I can remember. I read those books when I was, like, 12. Time flies.

>>11819272It's one of my favorite TFs in my whole collection so it's nice that he's getting another release. I still think he's one of the best representations for the Commander class.
So I bought this creepy little fucker lately and he can’t really grip his accessories.Not just him but I have quite a few figures who even when coming with specific gripping hands still struggle to hold anything.Any suggestions would be much appreciated
>>11799219They are such great figures but it sucks just how far off they were with this.I’m still considering buying more especially the Cthulhu one.Which one did you get?

Any more like this? "He-Kid: Working for Mattel"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uddjc15vc9ICame up while I was bottom feeding 'Recently Uploaded' for MOTU / Mattel stuff, thought it was a cute story; do toy companies even go so far as to do focus groups with kids these days or are they just running off the data from back when they did? Anyway! Low-view deep cuts or big industry insider documentaries welcome! I'm especially interested in stories about shitty/freaky toys but mainstream stuff is okay too.
>>11810276It would have helped but the writing would have still sucked hard. Ever since the buyout Viacom insists on depicting the turtles as juvenile spastics. It's only gotten worse with every reimagining.
>>11807709None of these are deep cuts.The people who make serious documentaries won't treat a subject like toys seriously. To get the cooperation of the company, you give up something. I can't point to one specific thing in the LEGO doc or the Funko doc (well, that Funko doc certainly didn't really investigate shit) and they don't necessarily reek of PR, but most of these are entertainment videos not informational, much less educational.
>>11810206I had access to my friends NF sub for years but that ended about five years ago when they banned it. Even before that, it was easier for me to find NF crap on pirate streams and watch it, then signing it to their shitty app. tl;dr google is your friend
>>11807709>Not the most deep, but Toys That Made Us was a good watch.agreed, with the exception of the Transformers episode which is weirdly sloppy and downright misleading in parts
Anyone see "the movie" yet? I know it's not necessarily the board for it but I'll post about it anyway, lol. For me it was a solid 9/10 but I understand some of the criticism of it being too unserious as well and I can sympathize with that perspective. At any rate, I liked how it showed Adam using art to stay focused on his purpose on Earth, I know that things like He-Man and GI Joe and eastern stuff like Dragon Ball Z were all huge motivating factors for young artists back in the day. It kind of ties in to the documentary in the op with how Mattel was genuinely invested in talking to kids and getting their perspective on their product.
Knock off rambo has seen some shit, also the two grenades he wears look like john rambo is wearing a metal bra.

For scale Trains, track work wiring, layouts, scenery etc I was interested but I'm not sure if anyone or anywhere else if anyone has mad a similar thread
>>11811721I wish American OO was more popular.
>>11811721hopefully you relaxed and enjoyed at least looking at toys, if they had any on display
I found this on Twitter just now, under a James May tweet, looked cool for "L-scale":https://beta.ideas.lego.com/product-ideas/8b964aca-6f3d-4d15-91ac-23a8949de9f8
Does anyone have experience with z gauge? Is the track that comes with the rokuhan super shorty starter kits compatible with normal rokuhan z gauge track?
>>11811721Vibes were immaculate, got to even drive a union pacific freight train around the layout.
I have decided to dump all my larger Godzilla and Zord type figures to go for the Lucky Cat and Monsterarts 1/12 stuff. I just bought the Biollante 1989 Godzilla cuz it was fairly cheap on Amazog and will probably not be around much longer, and it's my favorite version of Godzilla.For other stuff, or maybe even to get me to cancel this guy, what's out there that looks serviceable and itsn't $100+ per dood?
>>11798585Hiya toys does cheaper figures of comparable or even higher quality than Monster Arts. They're usually slightly bigger, but it's not distracting. Unfortunately they get scalped just like most Godzilla merch.
>>11798585>1/12 scale kaijudo you own a football stadium? where are you going to put it?
>>11811020>football stadiums are 4-6 acresYeah I could fit a bunch of 1/12 Zillas out there if that were a real thing, my bad tho
Apologize
>>11808044https://youtu.be/Yx6sxPRpZv8?t=409Apparently, the corporate side is operating at a loss. 66k loss for 2025, and 215k loss for 2024. Stealing 200k worth of legos might of actually helped them if they got away without the public's eye on them.

Welcome to the RAPT (RoboCop Alien Predator Terminator) general.This general is mainly for these franchises. You can talk about modern lines like NECA, Hiya, Mafex, Trick or Treat, etc. and older vintage stuff from Kenner, Toy Island, etc.Discussion of the films and other media is welcome to help lulls between toyline announcements.Discussion of other similar films and toylines like Rambo, Last Action Hero, Congo, Demolition Man, even Waterworld, is welcome. Especially if it pertains to part swapping, customs, or features for wishful toylines you'd like to see.
>>11813258You got BTFO'd and had to make an AI edit. How sad.
I want some Terminator Zero goods
>>11813282Ok boomer
>>11813829Ehh I didn’t like the show honestly and I don’t think it did very well
>>11801672>took a page out of the Neca playbook, 3rd figure has a broken limb
Will the balance tip and more collectors start selecting cheaper figures over ones with more paint and articulation?
>>11797758>Whites can't afford $25>Browns can afford $2500 for Goku aloneUh, who are the third worlders again?
>>11814227>>Still have to pre-order it because otherwise it would be the only one I don't havefoolish
I've done that plenty but in my case we're talking like $30-$50 going against $100-$200. The difference in price between those two He-Men is relatively negligible and I think the people are going to be buying the cheaper one more for their kids rather than their collectors.
>>11797702This. I fucking hate poors. Anyone with half a brain should be able to make a decent living. Plus most "poor" people I know are just wasting their money on the dumbest shit imaginable.
>>11817745Take a look at DC gen where people are raving about Mattel's DC core line and buying it instead of obviously better mcfarlanes rather than even waiting for Mattel's collector figures. Some are openly saying for characters they don't care as much about they are going to just buy the core.
>happy to leave my kind of wagey-job>left it. feeling like a free man>focusing on my own projects and...>...>new toys new releases and lots of shit coming out>franchises i'm interested in are super expensive (and i also like fucking videogames so that adds up)>...>A manager from my old job called me.>I tried to raise my rate before returning.>They refused to raise my rate...>I still wrote that I would return (solely because I need to buy figurines and don't want to do it using Klarna).Buying toys is expensive. Especially when you have many interests. Do you have a steady job?How much can you spend on a toy at once?
>>11813202>Save your moneyfor what>so you can retire earlyoh wowWaste your youth/maturity for being poor/not enjoying life (AND missing out on all kinds of cool stuff) so you can ENJOY your life when you are old.What for?why?fuck off
>>11813229I actually agree with you. I was just playing devil's advocate. These working fools assume they'll live to be old, when in reality there's a good chance they'll be killed in a car wreck or drop dead from a heart attack at any moment. And even if you do make it to old age with a ton of money... there's a good chance you'll be too crippled to enjoy. My mom is now 71 and she has rheumatoid arthritis, sjogren's, and copd. You can't do shit without being in pain. Investing in your future is a hell of a gamble to take.
>>11813086About the level of appreciation for art I'd expect from a redditard with "pepperonidogfart" as a username.
>>11813653That retard got filtered by apostrophes. I wouldn't give anything he says any merit.
>>11813086>i still own toys but I need to imagine fictional scenarios to make me superior to other people that own toysLelAlso Pepperonidogfart has no idea what the asian import aftermarket is like...
lol Blokees must really be fucking their ass
>>11800685Their little $5-$10 kits are fun and slightly addicting but interest fades pretty quick in my experience.However, their larger scale model kits are some of the best kits I've ever assembled, especially Tarn. I wouldn't be disappointed at all if they discontinued the smaller sets and focused on the larger sets.
>>11800238Are you the guy that's obsessed with cocks?
based chadbro will kill blokees shilling by mainstreaming model kits.seriously fuck all y'all obnoxious niggers.
my kids and I love the little Transformers kits. Its sparked their interest in the old cartoons. Id hate to see hasbro pull the license for something inferior and kill it off within a year. They cannot seem to do ANYTHING with the transfromers IP with any longevity other than toys.
I actually got one of the Miku Blokees and I was surprised how nice it was. Seen them around my area a lot and decided to get one. I mostly collect Figma and Revoltech, but Blokees are alright in my book.
$80cad to ship this little box with 3 figures.-$40 ems(cheapest option)-$40 to my communist government on taxationI've largely switched over to buying toys from China and this was a good reminder why. Shipping from China is usually free even when the orders are worth hundreds of dollars and I never get taxed. Fuck buying from Japan.
greedy ass muthafuckasfeels so corrupt
>>11803230Youd be alarmed at the markup on toys
>>11797742>$80 cadmight aswell wait for an official release for your market
>>11797843>>11797811>>11797788>Be Canadian>Vote for Trump>Suffer the consequencesYou guys did this to yourselves.I have not ordered anything from Japan in years, way back since Amazon changed their shipping policy where they would charge for each item instead of one bulk price. I get that intentional users might not be Amazon JPs actual customer base but still. It was great for getting CDs and Magazines and toys.
>>11797742>sucks to be CanadianGood taste on figures Anon, but those prices are pretty much the standard everywhere now.
