>>11618303I got mine last night from WalMart, retailed for $19+, I had $3 in WM cash from the protein powder I buy, so it was about $17, when all was said and that gives me two Brainiac Drones for a display, not sure if I want three or four but if I ever see them for $15, yeah, maybe, so thanks.
Why do people collect action figures and leave them in the box? They have articulation and accessories and features that are meant to be interacted with. Just get a statue if want something to look at. Is it a speculation thing?
>>11612236Yeah last summer a guy at a toy show was selling a lot he picked up at an estate sale of Mattel Harry Potter and the Philosophers Stone toys still sealed and he had almost everything.I got the deluxe Hagrid for a reasonable price and the packaging was really well designed. The plastic bubble was sculpted like Hogwarts columns and there was folded printed cardboard behind to make a 3D effect. But unfortunately the glue holding it to the card was so dried up it was falling apart and the edges where beat to hell and the bubble plastic was beyond yellowing it was browning. So I opened it.
I have a few hanging on walls because they look cool and its the best place for them. Would be nice to see if the value increases but I wouldnt sell them anyway.
>>11615939>I have a few hanging on wallsThis is so bad.
>>11609671Yes, but a lot of the people selling this crap are selling it at scalper prices, like record stores and book stores used to as if they were out of print material. >>11614462Also this>>11615939Man - if this is really what you want to do, get one of those narrow floating shelves and display them ON that, leaning against the wall. Don't fucking nail or thumb tack or anything like that to the fucking plaster walls.
>>11616327Then the cardboard with eventually bow or curve.
Is this a legit figure?
>>11617072also lmao seems cats are still doing bad
So does he come with a neckussy we can forcefully grab him by?
>>11614050This is as gay and as politically clueless as it gets.Man I hope you're just rage-baiting and not serious.
>>11614050no way Raph would be at one of these gay protests, leave that shit for Leo or Donny
>>11604653too skinny
Admit it, you basedfaced.
I tried to show my son the goonies and he shut it off and put it on Mr beast. I bought him the one piece pirate ship instead
>>11615889>he shut it off and put it on Mr beastwhy do you allow your child to watch that?
>>11616281I dont. I turned off Mr beast and put it on dr. Binocs.
>>11615600You should fear him. One time he pushed his sister down the stairs and blamed it on the dog!
>>11605353>making a movie about little boys called "the Goonies">one of them confirmed to be diddledPedowood can't keep getting away with this!
Theyre selling bootleg spin master DC figures at five below now
>>11610181You know nothing
I'm pretty sure this is official, Spinmaster is just bad
>>11617568>lego still hasn’t made mixel joints in normal colors
>>11617568>who cares about knockoff plastic garbageWake me up when China starts making bootlegs of the DC sets that LEGO refuses to re-issue, allowing scalpers to charge absurd prices for 'em.
The Kirby is very sticky. Is there any way to counteract that? It's made of that faux-rubber stuff that becomes mush if you leave it in its packaging forever.Also in completely unrelated matters: do you have any suggestions on how to convert the Astro to a Christmas ornament? I have another one I intend to do that with. I was thinking of using the mounting peg somehow but I'm not sure if I can find something that will fit in there that will also work to let me hang it from a tree.
Yes, it's a common issue with the Kirby and rubberized figures. To make matters worse, cleaning them the way other plastisizer leaking figures are reccomended to be cleaned by GSC(dunking in soapy water) is advised against because it will remove the layer on the rubberized material that gives it grip. You're meant to use clear tape to remove any grime and a clear water based lotion to clean it.https://lab.goodsmile.info/2021/11/08/%E3%83%A9%E3%83%90%E3%83%BC%E5%A1%97%E8%A3%85%E3%81%AD%E3%82%93%E3%81%A9%E3%82%8D%E3%81%84%E3%81%A9%E3%81%AE%E3%81%8A%E6%89%8B%E5%85%A5%E3%82%8C%E6%96%B9%E6%B3%95%EF%BD%9E%E8%A1%A8%E9%9D%A2%E3%81%AE/Japan gets really humid in the summers so plastisizer leaks are a bigger issue than some might think. I've gotten a few figures from Mandarake that were leaking in spite of not being mentioned on the listing which means it likely happened when it was in storage after it was first checked in.
So if something I own is having an issue with plasticizers leaking or breaking down, what can I do to prevent it from getting worse?>>11615823GSC?
>>11615823>GSC(dunking in soapy water) is advised against because it will remove the layer on the rubberized material that gives it grip.Yup. It fucked my kirby up.>>11617496>what can I do to prevent it from getting worse?Pray or do what that other anon said above you.I have 3 kirbies, My og one leaked plastic hard, my og robobot one goddamn cracked, and the 20th one is a ticking time bomb.
>>11617547In my case it's not kirby, it's a third party face/hair kit for Beast Deities Broly
>>11617570Already? that shit just came out recently. Otherwise soapy water is what I use for the one figure that I ever had with that porlbem outside of kirby.
Am I doing something wrong, or is the quality of plastic from figures these days becoming much more temperamental and less stable than the plastic from things that are like 20+ years old. I have figures that are from the early 2000's that don't have any, or barely any signs of tacky/stickiness from plasticizers or deterioration. Maybe it's the paint/finish that's causing it too, I don't know. But most figures that I've gotten within the 2010's+ seem to develop this issue within 5 or so years. Every single one of my Bandai figures, Street Fighter, Dragon Ball, any of their accessory packs all have it and it's definitely worse on anything that uses soft plastic. I have the OG Vashe the Stampede from Revoltech that doesn't have any whatsoever, but my OG AY spider-man has it. Even my AY Venom/Carnage have the sticky/tacky feeling to them. I also notice that this doesn't seem to happen as much with any of the PVC statues I have either. I have an old DBZ Banpresto from 2009 that has no stickiness to it either.I have a central A/C unit in my house, so it's not like it gets to sweltering temperatures in here in the 2 months of summer. Is there something I'm doing wrong, or is this just the new nature of the beast for new-age action figures? What can I do to extend the life of my figures?
This shit is making me want to box up and sell everything, this thread is depressing me, I can't look at my toys the same way now. Fuck man, can we start making them out of wood or something?
>>11617514My dude, I feel the same anxiety as you. I've got a couple pre-orders coming in, but after that, I'm becoming very selective about what I buy and I think you just have to do your due diligence before you buy something. Like cheap KO bootlegs will probably be some of the worst ones to start breaking down quickly. Nothing with soft plastics and especially nothing from Bandai, as they clearly seem to be using rather inferior plastics. The jury is out about whether new Revoltech stuff still has this problem, the oldest one I still have is the Deadpool 2.0 OG release.
>>11617499Yes. your carpet releases more deadly chemicals than your toys.Your car is nothing but a sealed plasticizer gas chamber, especially when you leave it out in the sun for even an hour. That new car smell literally bad for you.Your cheap particle and compressed wooden furniture releases even more chemicals.And i was mostly kidding about your toys releasing cancerous shit. Some of the gas might be, but it's mostly shit that makes you grow bitch tits. It may be why last past couple of generations are such faggoty pussies too>>11617514wood rots faster than plastic, especially since you'll be handling it with your greasy fingers. The wood will darken up in only a year. Shit will splinter and chip up pretty fast too.Maybe youre thinking of diecast and tin toys? Of course, that shit chips paint like crazy and can also rot or rust.If you'rea poorfag and worry about your resale value, yet rid of your shit in less than 5 year.Comment too long.

>>11622725Nope, but I've heard others having this problem. Was it like that out of the box, did you position the arm properly before using the bicep joint? You need 5o straighten out the arm before twisting the bicep.
>>11622745The arms just weren't popd in all the way in the mushroom peg. They fell when i went to pose him.

>>11621108kek
>>11621695Yo.Same situation here.I only bought Fire Man so far because he's my fav Robot Master, I'm waiting until I'm 100% sure they actually get to releasing Bomb Man and Guts Man before pulling the trigger on anything else.And haven't bought wave 1 of Scooby Doo yet because I'm waiting until wave 2 hits so I can get Shaggy and Scooby together.
>>11621695I gave up on Jada the moment they jumped to MM2 in the middle of MM1 and "forgot" to include the shoryuken and yoga fire with Ken and Dhalsim.I still only own the first Mega wave, Ryu, Chun, Cammy and I'm waiting for Zangief. my biggest wants are Roll and the doctors.if they only manage to release the 1-2 bosses then I'm more than ok with it, but now they're jumping again with Snake Man. I'm just tired of this company fumbling this bad with a property that doesn't get that many affordable and decent collectibles.

Playmobil thread
>>11614739I talked to a woman recently who said her kids don't like toys, and they are like 4 and 8. They like tablets, video games, and playing outside/sports. Couple this with lower birth rates, and the market for children's toys is shrinking. These companies have to price more competitively, and they are probably cutting production corners nowadays.
What are your favorite figures? This one is up there for me.>>11615560Did you forget your image?
>>11613939Chyna wouldn't have those tattoos and maybe a bit more '90s hair. I'll probably glance at them when they show something off, but so far Knuckle Crunchers has been filling my small figure needs

Told Amazon I wanted to return this and they offered 12 bucks off if I kept it. I kept it.
>>11618091Nice. Personally, I'm just waiting for Amazon to discount it. I don't see this set being super duper popular. Plus I don't have any other Sh'iar stuff so I don't really need it. I was looking at my local Ross for the Lilandra 2 pack but I did not find it, so meh.
Warbird is back on the menu boys. Fan Channel this time so she hopefully won't be as difficult to get. Glad that she's getting reissued since so many missed her, I still can't believe I had an order for her actually fulfilled. Also, that anon can finally shut the fuck up about Power Princess.
New Thread:>>11618394>>11618394>>11618394
Greetings /toy/, I come to you with two thread topics today, for which I will make one thread asking both things.One: do you know how to get a toy line idea off the ground? I have a really good idea for a line of action figures that I probably should have had the clarity to pursue twenty years ago, it's long overdue and even now would revitalize the action figure market. That's all the details I'm going to give you about it in this post. Unless you can give me enough details about how to actualize this idea to persuade me to share more.My next question, is if any of you know what I'm talking about when I search for a 2003 action figure of Batman holding the Joker up by the neck during an interrogation, and the Joker is wearing a straightjacket? I thought the figure seemed controversial at the time with the Joker being defenseless, but I'm sure that action figure contributed to the Joker interrogation scene from 2008 and would love to buy that figure for my desk.That's all!
>>11614700They design sprues, air vents, adjust shape of the parts so they can be actually pressure moulded etc. So your parts can be actually done without any air bubbles and material getting stuck. This is why basic mould costs 10k minimum.You want to do action figures of real people, so just get basic bodies, commission artist to do make 3D headsculpt of a rock star, 3D print it on resin printer using ResioneTough 74, paint it, sew soft goods, sell them on Esty.
>>11614212Come to accept that toys are made in China, so you are going to need a contact in China, some engineer or whatever who knows the factories. If you check some Kickstarter campaigns, you'll often see "we're working with [John Smith] in China who also works for [ACME] toy company">>11614345>>11614402Wew, honestly, you've got nothing. That's the sort of "idea" that's only valuable when you already have all the contacts, money, knowledge and social skills to succeed at anything you do. Either you do almost everything including the legal licensing all by yourself (are you going to contact the bands? how much are you going to pay for their rights?), or you talk about someone more knowledgeable about your idea at which point you'd be the "ideas guy" with no value (how would you defend that the idea of making speaker toys was yours if they "steal" it?).Go to some toy convention and talk with some small toy company to get some vibes of the proccess of toymaking, maybe.If what you want to do is extremely simple, non-articulated, you might be able to 3dprint it locally and slap a speaker inside, I guess, but the more complex the project is and the more people involved, the smaller your role would be.
>>11614212>idea to revitalize the toy industryHate to be a doomer, but unless we somehow revert to 1980s technology and entertainment from some time-space fluctuation the only thing that can be done is getting corporations like Hasbro and Mattel to stop raising prices for collector lines. Good luck with that.>idea for statueshit rock band figurines with tiny speakers.What’s going to stop people from just buying Funko pop shit and placing it near their computer or stereo speakers for better sound quality and it’ll be less expensive? Even if it’s IRL musicians, most people on this forum and community like articulation and having the ability to make more than one specific pose with their figures.>idea for the last 20 yearsIf we had mini-speakers like the ones shown in this thread of that quality 20yrs ago, this might have been a niche line some would buy. But not the next big thing. Also, 20yrs of this idea and you have nothing to show for it? No prototypes, no CG or CAD models, no sculpts of the musicians, no paperwork licensing likeness rights from said musicians, not even sketches of blueprints? You’re either an out of touch boomer, a naive zoomer, or a liar because you only just now came up with this idea and not 20yrs ago.I take back my guess you were the 3D print anon with the vaporware figures. You are obviously not him. You’re even worse. You have NOTHING to even tease people with. At least that asshole has actually printed parts, and even made a janky-ass printable pikachu no one asked for.By all means, learn to design, start making connections and research, research, research. But your idea is an overpriced mini speaker with a statues. This is not something that will be a big seller today nor something a newbie could make money off of starting from scratch. Find something else that is gaining popularity, hopefully something you can do your own OC stuff with to avoid costly licensing fees.
>>11614212I forgot to ask previously. Do you have money?If you do and you are confident in your idea, well, I guess you could talk to some small toymaker and let them handle the more technical aspects while you finance the venture because you believe in it and are willing to take the financial risk, and effectively be an equity partner.If you are asking what software to use, though, I suppose that isn't what you have in mind. You should ask yourself what actual roles you'd have in your enterprise. Are you a music professional with contacts with those bands that could help getting the whole thing working nice and easy? Are you an enterprise manager? Artist? Engineer? "Ideas guy" is not going to cut it.
>>11615859I wasn't aware of the Super 7 action figures of rockstars that are already being manufactured when I made this thread, some anon made me aware of that here. I have a great idea that would make a great supplement to their execution of that idea now basically.>>11614985Thanks dude. To everyone suggesting or implying these would be 3D statues with no articulation points, not sure where you got that out of the word action figure, but it's a cheap way to shoot down the idea.>>11615022>How would you defend your idea of the speaker toys if they stole itI hope it wouldn't come down to that, but I have ample online documentation with dates on it for this stuff that I could cite if I had to defend in court that it was my idea
https://www.hasbropulse.com/product/G35465L00Looks like they finally made it to 10% of the way there. This is still sad watching the merch crash and burn with the Ares movie. And it could have been saved if only if it were more reasonably-priced.
