What's the smallest, most pathetic toy you begged your parents for growing up?
>>11645367Hex bugs
>>11645367I never beggedI never had pathetic toys although I didn't really have many toys to be honestSmallest, cheapest toys were likely things like knock-off versions of whatever was a hot wheels in those days.
>>11645533I had them too, at one point I did become super obsessed with them as well. A part of it was really just the collection of all different characters, they even got the Simpsons IP at some point and they made some interesting shit like one Christmas they had a race track kinda like hot wheels.And just like that as soon as they appeared they were gone from everyone's memory. Tbh that's also when my toy collecting started to decline
>>11645367This pullback toy duck that wiggles its butt as it goes. I think I got it at a Sav-on
>>11650777My cats loved these.
What is there even to say about bionicle, except that it was intended as a 3 year theme, that quickly ballooned out of control?Why did we do a 2 year flashback arc?did the guy who wrote it really know the whole thing was a robot from the beginning? if thats true how would the end of year 3 had been changed?why is Makuta Mata Nui's brother, when the two are completely different species?is the red star really supposed to be a failed organ transplant?what happened on the southern islands, and why is it so mysterious?why was the mask of time and light so important? we shift all their power of to the mask of life, during ignition anyway.What was the glatorian reboot supposed to accomplish, if it carries all the baggage from ignition?
>>11651200
>>11651202
Did anyone else just like bionicles without the lore? like my favorite concept of them was just a bunch of robots waking up on an island. It was fun and mysterious; I'd see a cool scene from a commercial and that's all I ever needed.
>>11651846I am sure people liked toys as toys
Someone explain Bionicle to me. I'm looking for pure 2000s feel. What should I watch? I think I don't want a summary but rather see/read the entire thing. What have I gotten myself into?
My kid is obsessed with this green poofter. What are the highest quality toys of the Grinch available?
>>11648303 People with kids have no friends because taking care of the kids eats up all our time. Checkmate.>>11648327Google only brings up trash toys. I'm hoping you homosexuals know of obscure figures from Japan or something.
>>11648292The Jim Carrey movie had a surprisingly decent toy line. I had the Santa Grinch as a kid.
>>11648447Fugggg that slutty Who in the red dress.I've never understood the concept of hot glue until this moment.>my coom grew three sizes that day
>>11648459
>>11648447Wow, somehow I never knew these ever existed. Grinch even has way more articulation than I would have thought.
Apparently Storm does still have the ability to release Mortal Kombat figures--they have not lost whatever license they had--as they are reissuing Nightwolf. Does this mean they could actually release new MK figures or did the line not end up doing so well by the end so you'd think they're just trying to get the most of their molds?Also I never noticed how ugly their knee joints are...
>>11641608knees are terrible
>>11641608eh, I feel they could roll out the Cyborgs and Ninjas again and make cash so I'm unsure they be motivated to roll out new figures
I wish Storm would do some more Soul Calibur. Quitting after 2 characters is pathetic. Why even aquire the license and start making them at all if you aren't going to give it a better effort?
>>11651254Reptile is still digitally pegwarming at BBTS for some reason, so not sure on that. I guess they made too many.
Do they still produce the electric Thomas trains without the Disney/Paw Patrol faces? Seems like the classic looking shit is in rape-price territory
>>11641089>they make the jeeta train pull an elephantkek
>>11650714The ironic thing about Nia is that her face isn't "ethnically correct". She's supposed to be from Africa, but her basis was built in England.
>>11651433The real African engine ran out of coal and water and then rusted in place while her African driver and fireman wandered off and within minutes forgot that they had ever been railroad employees.
>>11641089What bugs me about modern Thomas toy lines is that there's never any expansion packs that are JUST rolling stock. They're just making you buy multiple engines to have a train that's longer that 2 cars. It's frustrating
>>11653963That was one thing I loved about the early Trackmaster sets. I sometimes regret not getting pic related because it has the only legit narrow-gauge coach of both it and Plarail.
Does anyone remember the tv show or video game from where this figurine comes from ? i ain't talking about the aggron on the leftIt should be something from 2005/2010 , but i have very little memories of it...
>>11641835>muh matcheven after being told what it thought was a match wasn't a match? fuck this crypto/AI clown world bullshit
>>11641835>It searches by association. In this case it saw a brown robot, found the first brown robot, and assumed that it was a match.Yes...thats called lying, bullshitting or being stupid.And we've shoved this dumb bullshitter into everything
>>11644811>And we've shoved this dumb bullshitter into everythingwhat's even worse is they've dumbed it down so that we search multiple times and see more ads = absolute fucking clown world
>>11640699this has to be the most knowledgeable board ever.
>>11640699Great job Anon!
Assignments are out and quite a few of us have already sent in proof of purchase so let's keep it going. Remember, do not to send your gift until I give you the ok to do so.My email: toysecretsanta2025@gmail.comFAQ: https://pastebin.com/jA4SUZUQprevious: >>11612425
>>11650668>>11651169Anon! I just wanted to let you know I opened my gifts over the weekend since I am going to be out of state the rest of this week. You definitely killed it with this one! A lot of great choices.The Snow Serpent was a great choice, since Hasbro is releasing a lot more snow/arctic themed Classified stuff this coming year, so he'll go great with that upcoming stuff.The Cosmic Legions figure and weapon pack were a great choice! This figure looks sick. This is my first figure from that line, as I was always sort of on the fence about getting into it, but since you got me this one and I got to mess around with it, I've already bought another one because I liked it so much.Darth Nihilus was a great choice too, he looks awesome.Also love the little Frieren/mimic plushie that one was totally unexpected, and so were the little skelly dudes! I've only built a few of them so far, but they're great little figures to mess around with.Thanks a ton man!! Hope you get some great stuff in return, and Merry Christmas!
>>11656225The guy at ups told me the 29th, but I'm hoping that's just a placeholder date. Sorry about that. I'd have it ship sooner, but the shipping costs raped my wallet (the box was so big and heavy).
>>11656249No worries, I have tons to do over that week as well but no rain to force me indoors. UPS has done a good job getting some other stuff from as far east as NJ and even the post office sent me a used LEGO set off EB in 3 days from Gainsville. So who knows?Thank you for all your efforts.>>11656243Very cool. That accessory pack is nice, I'm glad other people thought those would make good gifts and the recipients also appreciated them. I know I would have and I hope my assignment does as well!Those skeleton toys do look like a lot of fun.
>>11653706Nice, I'm glad to see everything arrived well!Your presents also arrived and are going under the tree tomorrow! (because I still need to finish decorating it…)
What do anons do for posing pictures when they don't have a tree. Last year, I posted a snap of the box before I fully unloaded it so a few things I got the bat weren't toys were never showed off OTOH, my anonymous Santee last year - who did thank me, posted a picture of some of the many treats I sent when he opened the box but then never posted anything else on the big day or later on.
The release of WW2 Logan got me itching to make a quasi-historic WW2 display. Unfortunately, there don't seem to be many 1/12 scale figures or props that fit that aesthetic. I'm not looking for slavish historical accuracy (the new Gamerverse Nick Fury works nicely as a kind of special operative), just figures that look vaguely era-appropriate. I've looked thru all the Marvel Legends and GI Joe Classifieds, so please try to suggest figures from other toylines (new and old). Also, I'm open to any kitbashing ideas, so long as they limited to basic part swapping.
>>11641402>I just want an army of Nazis. We all do.Speak for yourself. Unpopular opinion around here, but I hate Nazis, and I have no desire to display them anywhere. That goes for all Axis powers too. I do make exceptions for fictional fasc-ish characters like Red Skull or Hydra soldiers that are relevant to a comic-themed display. Haven’t decided if they would be included, since they would only be a small portion of a display that’s primarily Allied-focused.
>>11641649>IM A FUCKING FAGGOT LOOK AT MEWe know anon.
>>11641402Bean Gelo made a great series some time ago, to bad the line died.
>>11641726Since when did somebody expressing their opinion warrant such a childish response? He clearly stated not all of us want an army of Nazi' troops in response to somebody's blanket statement about the entire board. I don't want Nazi troops either and I read My Struggle and some of it makes sense up to a point when the wheels fly of at high velocity.
>>11651227Go back. You aren’t ready yet.
Hi, I was wondering if there was any particularly odd toys that you own, or wish you owned. In fact, I saw a really cool video on the subject :) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fh8M3OA0ksgI really like when he mentions the skyscraper transformer, because i've always wanted the jizai toys mock-up. I also think in retrospect, Lego Vidiyo was really cool!
>>11641781Buy an ad you raging faggot. Your videos are shitty. Glad you wasted you life and money getting your shitty degree.
>>11641781Going mask off here huh? Well at least we can stop with the whole pretending you found the video out of nowhere. Seriously buy an ad if you want to advertise your channel.
>>11641781>I swear half this board is underage, because no adult has time to argue on this shit.three quarters of this entire site's userbase is whiny children, this is nothing new
>>11641752These are solid toys, just look a bit too shiny plasticy for me.
>>11641781You spamming this board continually keeps on degrading it, the ride never ends
Toys are hereby declared illegal, immoral, unlawful AND anyone found with a toy in his possession will be placed under ARREST and thrown in the DUNGEON. No kidding!
>>11640090Throw me in jail then, because Sexy Ice is too good for me not to play with.
>>11640649"figurines" is 1,000x more embarrassing than "toys"
>>11640090Is this Chorlton?
>>11640090You guys joke, but toyppression is a real and ongoing issue.>Pic related
You're in luck! There's no toys around this here parts!
Am I weirdo if I kept all my toys naked as a kid? Threw their clothes away and imagined them having fun being naked 24/7.
>>11650080those are child bearing hips
>>11650085Qurk Chungus Barbie
>>11639684I thought that was normal kid behavior.
>>11639684Stripping my Action Man was probably the first hint I was gay
>>11640344That's nothing I had a friend who's mom was a shrink and she drank and passed out every night in the living room in front of the TV on the couch in a bathrobe.
It is now a bannable offense to make the /BST/ thread. Effectively banning buying, selling, and trading. Something that has been done here at /toy/ for years with no issues. If you have ever bought or sold anything using the /BST/ thread let out misguided Mod(s) know how you feel about this.
>>11652923Revoltech Ymir, MG Eclipse Gudam, MG Sinanju Stein, and Perfect Strike sold. Thanks anons!
>>11651055Figma Hachikuji new for $30. This was only a few years ago too.
>>11652923Figma Mika, Hibiki, and Rei sold. Thanks anon!>>11655117Damn, that's one hell of a find. I mean, back in the day when she released and for years after you could get her for that cheap, but prices in the past 8 years or so have been pretty retarded. Great price on a great lil' lady.
Selling: S.H.F Yami Yugi, pre-owned no damage. $80 shipped within the lower 48 U.S states.Also open to trading him for S.H.M BEWD or REBD.
Horrible if true.I have bought and sold here for well over a decade.>>11651055A long time ago a dude offloaded his SAS collection for a few dollars a pop. I got quite a few (Gyro, green Crazy Diamond, Pink Josuke and blue Caesar) for less than $50.

>>11646685One of the saddest sights is this large estate sale store in my town, it's basically a store filled with loads of old antique merch and furniture from everyone's dead elderly relatives. And every so often there will be a huge haul of perfect in box figures coming in. I realize each time it's some collector died and the family sold off their stuff to these guys. Lots of late 90s Star Trek, Power of the Force, Episode 1, and Hotwheels.
>>11646695>I realize each time it's some collector died and the family sold off their stuff to these guys.I actually have it in my will that anything my friends and family don't want from my collection is to be sold to my favourite collector shop (which will also probably lead to them re-buying a lot of stuff they sold me). Because I can't stand the thought of my collection ending up in a landfill or just some thrift store where it will be bought by kids who will destroy the things I hold dear. At least if it goes to a store that sells to collectors it will most likely be bought up by people who appreciate my figures as much as I do.
