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.

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.
>>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.

So are these dedicated joint tightening liquids actually worthwhile or is floor polish good enough? Does it work better? Does it last longer? Does it do less/more damage to the figure long term?
>>11642291Are there fake of these? I'm eyeing on buying exactly this but I wanna be sure I get the authentic brand
>>11645241Kiki doesn't disclose its ingredients or have a MSDS, so how do you even check its authenticity?
Just use elmers glue
>>11645241man, you people really need to stop being fooled into buying overpriced acrylic.It's literally just cheapo acrylic with maybe a surfactant to make it runny. You can make your own high premium joint tightener using any Walmart acrylic paint and 60% alcohol. Or you can add the acrylic paint without watering it down, because it really doesn't matter.You buy a little bottle of acrylic paint in any color or in clear gloss/matte acrylic varnish for $1-5 and it'll last you a lifetime.No need to special order anything. Just buy acrylic paint next time you're at walmart or near a michaels or next to hobbylobby.>>11647191white glue works too, but it wears out faster. BUT it's so cheap and you have enough supply to last you a lifetime with your $2 bottle.pic is what i use. Super fucking premium and overpriced just to tighten joints, but i also use it for painting. So many uses, instead of buying an overpriced acrylic "joint tightener" that's loaded with surfactants and who knows what else so i can't use it for anything else.
>>11642466I just bought some water based acrylic from Temu which is easy for those in NZ/Aus. Works fine enough.
Christmas gift recommendations general, if possible please tell what kind of age range you'd recommend the toy for, what kind of toys were a disappointment, etc.Please no brand fighting. Just share your experiences.
>>11643824Any kid below like 15-16, this level of collectible is fine and dandy. I got my nephews, 3 and 5, a big bucket of plastic dinosaurs to play with and lose in the garden, some seeds to plant and sticker books.
>>11649452ho ho ho
Joyeux Noêl /jouet/
My 11 yo niece asked for a Clickeez keyboard (she likes the sound and feel of mechanical keyboards at school) and squishmallow plushies, also for her birthday a few months ago I got her an Ouija board which she really likes cause she watches alot of those ghosts at 3am type youtube vids and apparently wanted one to talk to ghosts.
i just went and grabbed all the adult hand sized vehicles (the shoe box sized kind) at a Ross for three nephews, 18 months apart at the biggest gap, who are all still under 10. I also grabbed them some TMNT kid socks and some plain white Hanes kids shirt so my kid sister doesn't bitch that I bought them toys. I spent under $70 for three brats. The sister and my other immediate family and I already agreed years ago not to exchange gifts so it's just her spawn and another brother's spawn (but that kid got better taste so I just got him a GameStop gift card).
>Kills 1:18 at Western retailHeh...Nothin personell...kid...
Good 1:18 is a baby scale.
>>11650001nah 1/12 is a baby scale given how many boomer Facebook groups have meltdowns any time an action figure isn't exactly 6 inches
>>11650008>>116500011:12 is a good scale for figures, but not for vehicles.
>>11649187Mattel is still invested in it since 1/12 dinosaurs with better than baby toy level articulation are basically impossible to do with anything bigger than the Raptors.>>11649414It was wild seeing retards say the whole things should have cost $130 when the articulartion and sculpt on them obviously put them more on par with Hiya and JoyToys' $25 to $30 figures. The whole set probably should have run at around $210 add to that the 20% Disney fee and you're basically reaching the same price as Haslab give or take 10 bucks.>>11650008>>116500131/6 is good for figures 1/18 is good for vehicals and large animals. 1/12 is for children.
>>11650399>1/6 is good for figures 1/18 is good for vehicals and large animals. 1/12 is for children.1/6 is good for figures that stand still and never get posed. 1/12 is good for actual figures. 1/18 is good for vehicles and monsters.
can you please stop buying this sludge?
>>11647931Steven universe is getting a spin off soon
>>11647931Without counting mixed lines like the OP and POPs SU had like four dedicated toy lines. Sure they were mostly mini crap but that is way more than most CN cartoons got.
>>11642955lmao
>>11647931I always thought it was weird how little merch it had for supposedly being as big as Regular Show and Adventure Time.
>>11649633Its because CN stopped making merch much in general around that time. SU Was the outlier who got any merch at all
Is this the single most prolific toy photo ever?
>>11648682
The skeleton general threads were always fun to poke my head into. I miss those. I haven't seen them in awhile.
>>11640242I saw that on a shirt in hot topic the other week
I would like to talk to people over 25-30 whose rooms are often filled with toys that they started collecting back in the 2000-2010s.Most of us have some reason why we have this addiction to toys. We love having new toys and sometimes even give our favorite toys meaning or hunt for a specific toy because it means a lot to us (saw it in cartoon one time as a kid or saw it in store back then and always wanted to have it and etc.etc.).Let's talk about that, share stories and talk abour our reasons and mamories.Will post my story in first post.
>>11648198I hope it didn't come off too bloggy, it felt appropriate for the thread. Whatever the reason for collecting as long as it makes you happy that's all that matters. Sadly the happiness part has been dwindling for me. I still like collecting the ones I like, but the happiness isn't there like it used to be.
>>11646204I didn't start collecting toys until a few years back, around 2019.It was something new to me, I didn't collect toys in my youth, teenage years, or even young adulthood. But at the time, I was going through a lot, I wasn't entirely in my right mind and was dealing with a deep feeling of guilt. So while I was shopping one day, I impulse bought one of pic related. I still remember to this day, that when I got home, I tore the box open, held the doll and wept openly.Since then, I went on to keep collecting dolls, not just like the ones in pick, but whatever I could afford. Plushies, Bootleg BJDs, even going so far as to grab some life size dolls; I got whatever thing caught my eye/heart. I don't merely display, but often hold and cuddle them.I wasn't really happy about my childhood. In fact, I often look back on it with shame about my youthful conduct. So when I'm playing with my dolls, I don't feel like I'm trying to escape the present, but the past and the regrets that still haunt me. I tend to get a ton of criticism about where I am in life from my family, I even get it from roommates in some absurd instances. I'm not a misanthrope, but I do find people exhausting and stressful, especially when their form of affection is "tough"; highly critical, confrontational, insisting that they need to save me from myself.I sadly admit that I find relief in fawning over my collection because I don't feel the constant judgement I do when around other people.
I've been reading manga from scanlation groups since the early 00s. I've stopped purchasing physical manga since I enjoy reading digital more. To somewhat compensate the creators, I purchase official merch such as statues, model kits, figures and toys instead. I know it's not equal, but there aren't a lot of options. I only display 3-6 figures at once, the rest are in storage. I try to swap one or two of them every other week or so when I dust my shelves.
>>11647018That is fucking cool. Cherish your father, cherish the relationship, this is so rare and beautiful.
>>11649743What to say...Anon, you are seen.
Anyone have experience with these Maileg toys, specifically the mice? I bought a bunch of them that I'm going to bring out as a christmas display. I'm a single gay nerd so I have to make my christmas tree look like a family uses it, so I put a bunch of stuff that looks like I have people in my life. Dollhouse general otherwise since these are dollhouse scale.
>>11648616Unless you are in a very rural or some other situation, it's not hard to meet some folks. I haven't had a "family" holiday in over a decade. People make their own families, this is true whether you're a gay nerd, a straight geek or are anti-social autist who plans to pull something untoward at a post office, chapel or school.People meet people and they hang out. I was doing a Christmas Eve pot luck for years with a combination of foreign folks who were in town visiting and had no where else to go, friends of the host, and a lot of invited 'orphans.' As long as you brought booze, food or both, you were welcome.I appreciate wanting to celebrate in your home, though.Mice look okay, not familiar with those; tree looks sad. You'd be better off using whatever toys you own and going to a craft store like Michaels or a fabric store.You don't have to buy Black Series SW clone troopers in stupid plastic santa hats, or TMNT turtles or Batman or any of the crap companies try to sell us this time of year, you can just do it yourself, with the things you have in your own home.

>>11653011Awesome.>>11653013Even more awesome
I have to wait till next month to buy rat king will I get the Nutcracker head?
>>11654456Yes, the Nutcracker head is a permanent extra. But I can't guarantee they will keep Mouse King on the store after Christmas. The last few years they have removed the other FOs to keep the remaining stock for cons or future sales, which is why Santa and the Christmas Carol are available now.
>>11654456Yea, the head isn't a limited item, it's a permanent accessory with the figure. Even old Red Santa still has those surprise gunmetal helmets that were new when he first came out. ....and now that I'm remembering that, I'm honestly kind of tempted to grab him while he's still up. >>11654579Yea, but even if they take it down, he'll pop up again any time a new FO drops. They make way more of these guys then they used to, so they can actually linger for a long while.
>>11654590>he'll pop up again any time a new FO dropsTrue, but I was just pointing out that it might not be available when he tries to buy it next month. Alternatively, there is always a chance for a retailer exclusive version as well.
Late 2000s/early 2010s-black friday and christmas season was a period of a plethora of new toys and figures. Fast forward to now and barely anything comes out this time of the year. Why did the companies have to make christmas shit? Dont they want to make money so why would they refuse to put new product out until after the new year?
>>11646662>>Xena: Warrior PrincestYou have my attention.
>>11646662>fake >gay
>>11646646it's not about spoilers it's avoiding what happen with things like Eternals where you have a massive bomb compounded with merc that never sells eating even more money from you. They are getting more cautious hence why things like the 3rd Ant man film getting very little merc at launch because they sooner be late to the party than have billions in unsold merc.And consdiering how that went it showed them that, yes, better to offer nothing the the mindless consumers and bring it out later for them(look at baby Yoda/Grogu) than to flood your market with Rose Tico that to this day, nine years later, can be found in clearance sections.
>>11647038Hasbro didn't have any confirmation of any of them being in No Way Home until they saw the movie in theaters themselves. They clearly scrambled to get the three Spider Men some and then did the villains. Usually Marvel lets Hasbro know the general plot or gives them preliminary design work to base figures off of, but they just didn't do that for NWH. Everything was kept secret as long as possible.
>>11648771>Usually Marvel lets Hasbro know the general plot or gives them preliminary design work to base figures off of, but they just didn't do that for NWH. Everything was kept secret as long as possible.Thats what i was complaining about, disney was fucking stupid being so secretive and wasting billions in the process by missing the mark on merch that didnt coincide with the movies release
