>>11295697nvm found it. Something about hand joints and neck replacement parts.Also found one guy coloring the joints with a cosmetic kit.

Is seamless technology for action figures like pic related ready for the big time, anons? What advances have been made in the technology to make it viable and durable for long term use? Surely by now they have found a way to make the material longer lasting and more malleable than past efforts so it doesn't break at articulation points, right?

>>11301650Haha I thought the same thing.For the first time in 20 years, the TMNT had hips that actually swing forward and back, instead of being on a 45-degree swivel so they can only move from standing to a lazy lotus positionI don't love the art from TMNT4, but I sure don't hate it, and it's better than everything that came after.

I want a good Tarzan figure, highly posable, and looks good in most any pose achievable.What options are there? Or is it best to make a custom? If best to make a custom, what are the best naked/nearly naked human male figures I could find?Disney is barely tolerable if no other option exists, but I would prefer a more "live action" look.And yes I am aware of masturbation action Tarzan.
>>11290312Original isn't suitable for harvesting resources beyond the knife.
>>11286961at least that had some accessories but it looks crappier than some of the worse of the wrestling toys, which often look like junk because companies can get away with that due to having the sole license and collectors having limited options.>>11288126I wouldn't mind a live action figure, but only NECA would likely do one for a - what, almost 20 year old movie now?>>11289597That looks a little better except for the head>>11290312The body would work.Probably overpriced from scalpers, though.
>>11290312Curious what's under the cloth. Brown painted pants I guess?.Was going to suggest "Savage He-Man", but yeah, KaZar (oy vey!) looks like the better model.
>>11292505>Savage He-Manpossibly too beefy
>>11292871Definitely too beefy unless you want him wresting king Kong figures for an excuse.
this is a collectable doll that was released after MF DOOM collaborated with madlib to make the madvillany album. I found it in a thrift shop, and they didn't know it was a collectable, which is great, because these things sell for hundreds on ebay

I was cleaning out my storage closet and found this old LEGO minifigure, but I have no idea which set it’s from.It looks like it might be a construction worker or something similar. Could be from LEGO City, Classic Town, or maybe even an older set.Does anyone recognize it or know what set it belongs to? Appreciate the help!
>>11284868Looks to be bootlego, those aren't stock legs.
>>11284868Every single part is off-brand
>>11284868It's from this set.
>>11284868Like what the other Anons said, that particular mini-fig is a bootleg; you can tell by the back of legs. I couldn't find which bootleg but I used yandex and google image search and here is the figure it was probably based off. sorry i couldn't helphttps://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?M=ovr006#T=S&O={%22iconly%22:0}
Say you were in charge of a floundering value-focused toy line that had a $25 price but had many high-end alternatives. The line was not doing well, though the quality had improved somewhat since its beginning. You improved articulation compared to the poor early figures and threw in an OK amount of accessories (for the price point that is). However, it was still selling poorly enough that for the most recent wave, Amazon had to drop preorders from $25 to ~$21.50 to try to entice buyers.First: what would you have done to try to save the line?Now here's what they actually did:-Increase the price to $35 so its no longer value-focused but not high-end either-put up preorders in January 2025 for a 3 figure wave to release in 2026-use much improved paint on one figure, slightly better paint on another, and the same style of paint as the old figures on the third-increase the size of the figures between .2 and .4 inches-make 3 pairs of hands standard instead of the previous 2 pairs of hands and add on average 1 extra other accessory-say you're improving the articulation in marketing materialSecond: knowing this, do you think this line recovers or nose dives even harder?
>>11292848
>>11292850
>>11292836That's just a natural consequence of setting a price point and having the figure need to come in under that price in cost to manufacture. Makes sense for a budget line. I'm ok with it, if I absolutely must have the accessory I just go for the RD. If I don't then I'm ok with getting the GU.
>>11291550It depends, some metal build figures are cheaper than others.And if you can travel to Japan they're vastly cheaper.Certain designs like the Strike Freedom will cost you an arm and a leg regardless though.
I just wanted more G Gundam figures :(
Do anyone else collects toy from Kinder, this edition specifically? They have bright colours which makes them very appealing to me and they are kinda cute as well. Had a little fun today with my new one outside. Thought it was Therizinosaurus, turns out on the website it's actually an Acrocanthosaurus.
>>11291353I didn't know that, sorry about that. I didn't throw a package for some reason I usually got my dinosaurs from sooo, yeah, this is how it's supposed to look like. Look for these or do some research on where the FunkoPop dinosaur eggs are sold in your area. I still won't guarantee you a success right away, but goodluck.>a Brachiosaurus 10 miles from your location wants to be bought by you
>>11280012Am I the only one who thought that was an Agumon from the thumbnail?
>>11291402Well that fucking sucks. The last walmart I was looking at had all of them on sale for 1.30 something. Even the special ones were on sale.
>>11292177Would 100% buy a whole tray of these things if they did a digimon crossover like that.

>>11294509Which set?
>>11293499I like this! Pretty cool technique, anon..
>>11294485Honestly such a good set. I got this for Christmas two years ago and I'm absolutely elated by the play value and overall design of this set to this day.
>>11293388What happened to the anon that scavenged the flea market grounds for lego parts? I miss that guys posts
>>11300275hopefully he got some disease and died
Well /toy/, I finally did it. I finally trashed all the boxes for my import figures. It was four extra large moving boxes worth of just boxes and plastic. All gone now. Honestly, I'm not sure how I feel. On one hand it's liberating getting rid of them. On the other though, I have massive anxiety about accidentally having left an accessory in a box or that I'll one day want to sell my collection only to not be able to get a good price for it since I got rid of all the boxes. They're my imports, mostly DBZ Figuarts. I already trash boxes for western figures. Pic isn't mine, just a random one I got from Google. What have you guys done with yoru boxes?
>tfw you threw away all the boxes for your toys/figures, but now you need to convert your home studio/office into a nursery and need to pack and move your collection to the basement.Best, most efficient way to do this? It’s mostly vinyl Q-posket figures, blind box figures and prize figures, but it’s still a pain. It’s also a little disheartening to move everything to the basement but it’s for a baby so… It also feels like I’m giving up parts of my identity, but I’ve heard every parent goes through that type of sacrifice. We have a loft area that connects the staircase to the bedroom hallway but that space is used as an entertainment area with video games/consoles/amiibos, blu rays/dvds, comic books, sports and music memorabilia, etc. We’re probably going to pack and move all that stuff too so I can set up my office space there.Hopefully we’ll have a bigger house in the future, but for now, we gotta make do with the 2 bedroom townhouse we have.
>>11289777printer paper, wrapping them up, and just shoving each one into a plastic bin.vinyl is kinda shit when it comes to paint coming off, so wrapping them is important.
>>11286940Searches I did in 2023 still pop up listings for empty boxes; I don't doubt that you have sold some, I mean, I'm an idiot who buys branded display base stands, so there's a market for everything, but some of the other idiots trying to get something like $5 or worse, $10 for an empty box are just smoking crack. That all said, I don't buy thus don't search for imports.>>11286262There's a very few that have decent art and I can keep just that one piece, not an entire box. I have kept a few sheets because I want to scan them or photograph them to save information like who was the sculptor. I wasn't doing this because you could find it on line, but now that people are not monetize that crap and it's all being done as You Tube videos, it's worth it to save that information somewhere else.>>11286233most get tossed. i keep some for transport, especially for figurines and statues. for articulated toys, it's just worthless crap.
>>11289777Don't get printer paper. Just acid free packing paper and buy some comic book storage boxes so they're all uniform.
>>11293273You're wasting money on acid free paper, because plastic and paint isn't delicate.I mean, yeah, it'll make a difference, but only 50 years down the line. IF you're only keeping shit there for 30 years, who fucking cares. The paint on toys and and the plastics themselves will decompose before the acidicness of the paper affects them. At ~50 years, you might get some color changes, but the weeping plasticizers and oxidation will have already done its damage.You'll have pitting, yellowing, metallics turning purple, and then acid leaving a spot of yellow on the yellowed plastic.As for a box? Use anything you want, because plastic toys don't decompose like comics made of paper do. Whether your storage box is made of cardboard or paper, you need to air your toys out 1-5 years, because plastics leak plasticizers. Plasticizers build up on the surface, which can drip back down onto your toys and ruin the surface/paint. Who even knows how long for that to even happen for any toy or brand. You have high end Japanese toys where plasticizers start leaking after a single year, while kiddy shit toys take 30 years to reach the same level of decomposition.Air the boxes out every so often and you'll minimize the affect.Probably the worst place to store your toys is keeping them mint in package, because plastic on plastic creates a sticky mess over time, yet people are paying premiums for vintage stores still in package. So it only shows the longevity of the toys, because 90% of them look brand new. Unfortunate packaging? Yellowed bubbles, sticky bubbles/trays, soggy cardboard, discolored plastic, wet figures.Printer paper is 1000x better than that.If you want to make an actual difference, invest in air conditioning and keeping your toys (and boxes) away from light.
old >>11250872Happy new year!
Opened up MMC's Groove today. Solid figure overall except the heels in his robot mode are kind of poorly designed in how they slide up and down for the transformation, I ended up just gluing them into a position that works best for his robot mode. Barely even makes a different in bike mode desu.Also surprisingly easy and intuitive to transform, maybe the only difficult step is closing the legs around the arms because the clearances are tight, and I really appreciate how the combined mode is literally just two steps basically.It also took me an embarrassingly long time to realize that his hands just pop off so you can attach that little spray nozzle accessory, I kept trying to figure out how you were supposed to like fold his hand into his forearm somehow.
>>11303888why their heads are so big
>>11303969been workin out at the library
Looks like we're out of images but I put all the Protectobots (so far) together and the combined mode is pretty solid, much more stable than Bruticus was overall. I was most worried that the feet seemed pretty flimsy but everything works out just fine.The only thing that mixed me up while combining them was that First Aid actually plugs into the arm socket upside down which was kind of confusing.
One thing to look out for with Groove is that his face folds up right into his chest badge thing in his bike mode, and it's really easy to scrape his face against it while transforming him (and now I need to go find some beige paint tomorrow to touch up the paint on his nose)
I bought a Venom symbiote blast but the retard sent it wrapped in paper instead of bubble wrap and it came broken from the ab articulationSo now I ordered two knock offs from Aliexpress (the one in the pic and a shittier one) The thing is, I couldn't find a video that explains how to fix toybiz molds because this will be my first fix and ''custom''I want to learn everything about custom figures, this will be my start in this world, so any help and ideas are welcome
>>11293389I did a repaint on the bootleg a long time ago....Idk what's even different from the original but I guess just transplant the parts from the bootleg to it?
>>11293406Yeah that's exactly what I want to do, I forgot to write it down lmaoSick paint job tho, what paint did you used?
>>11293389There's not really any easy way to fix a broken torso joint like that. All you can do is crack the torsos open by making a small puncture in the seam and then prying it open, but that usually does a lot of damage and the halves will never go back together cleanly. So then you'll need to do some re-sculpting and painting. The easiest thing is to just return and order another and hop it isn't broken.
