So which one of you guys donated your Junko Pop! Collection to kids?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WJ7UmR-24FU
>>11654007I was going to suggest some sort of tax write off.

Do you know how mortifying it would be if 1:12th figures or transformers toy or anything like that popped off the way labubu did? Just a frenzy of teens reselling shit for $1000 over the span of seven or eight months & then afterwards they shit on you for “clinging to a dead fad” as the companies completely ignore our collector expectation while appealing to the the fad followers who moved on. It’s bound to happy with how big “figtok” is getting
>>11654673They seem sick for individual storage
>>11654673I know it would make the case impractically larger/wider, but I wish these cases could show off cooler poses. Most of my favorite HG's have crazy back packs, wings, or funnels I like displaying spread out.Out of curiosity where did you buy the case ? Even without putting it on a backpack they seem handy for storage.
>>11654884picked it up on Amazon I believe. i used hard foam like the ind you use for floor mats for the padding on the inside and i didnt really account for mechs with large back pieces or wings, as most of my favorite ones are more utilitarian and based on the RG-78-2 suit. you could probably have some space for other suits like that if you didnt set up the case like mine.
>>11653550>>11654673holy shit anons i didnt know this is the thingI would really want to use one of this for one of my vintage figures BUT i hope there are smaller sizes of these to fit some of my favorite 90s toy
>>11653631Nah, he's got at least half a valid concern. I've seen in the anime statue collecting community how stuff blows up on tiktok and just becomes unaffordable going for several times its value nearly instantly. Toys are already overpriced enough nowadays without having to deal with shit like that.

>>11653677>oy vey! it's like anuddah Genosha
>>11653692Because InArt and LPZZ are putting out way better figures?
>>11653674May pick this up in '27, when Medicom actually fucking releases the goddamned thing.
Hi all! Its that time of year again, post your toys during the holidays!As always balance poses encouraged. Group shots are always nice, just have fun. Memorable mentions:Lego Jabba with the parasol really came out great. Dunking Donnie! Two thumbs up!The Knight figures were cool, didn't know about those. Alf poster, great use of the alien from melmar? The job application xD Oh also that Manticore poster, great shots, made me wish I had that figure even thoninknow nothing about it.Oh and don't think i forgot about the broken arm figure, great way to use it as a prop with the assasin holding it.

>>11650905>>11659350Happy year of the horse!
>>11662860Cheers! yeah, can't wait to get the whole gang to recreate more iconic scenes, wonder if they will make the Mystery Machine.
anyone here have a stationary steam engine? are they actually as cool as they look?I've been thinking about the Wilesco D141 (pic related) because it's a self-contained kit that "does stuff" but I'm also eyeing the D18 as it looks like a more traditional design

>>11655612>>11655618>>11655646I posted about this earlier. >>11655187Seems there are a lot of 3P bootlegs around now. I know a lot of the HM, Air, DCG and TK heads have been bootlegged and the quality isnt as good. Annoying, because you used to be able to trust using aliexpress because there were not fakes of 3P.
Any way to fix the tail swivel on the 40th Anniversary Cooler? Mine went floppy after a week and can’t hold a pose. The looseness is at a point which doesn't look like it can be disassembled. I waited a long time for it to ship so I’d rather get it fixed quickly. Any ideas?
>>11655719Use some floor polish or Kiki or whatever. Clear matte paint also does the trick. Sorry you got unlucky with that.

Almost tempted for the Zarbon and Dadoria 2 pack since I skipped them the first time. But my Namek display is getting full.
Respect the toy business.

Moose Toys has revealed some of their upcoming Netflix One Piece toy line. The first toys will release in January with more in March ahead of season 2 release. Thoughts?
>>11652697indian, i think
>>11648891Why have multiple face plates if they all look 99% the same?
>>11652697Considering Oda had real world nationalities for all the characters for years and Alabasta's inspired by Egypt and the middle east, she was never going to be white. I was more surprised by Nami's sister.
>>11654741Only like 2 Straw Hats actually followed the nationalities stated by Oda. Oda is perpetually used to excused retard production decisions. Egyptians aren't black either way.
>>11653794Yes
what was the weirdest toy you has as a kid?I remember this trunks figure that came with a skinsuit of his super saiyan form. I thought the gimmick was neat but also a huge pain in the ass and frankly kinda creepy. after a certain point it just became a manlet trunks figure to hang out with the normal-sized super saiyan gokus and vegetas I had
>>11645234Idk, probably a knock off go bot from a drug store. There was a christmas where i got things they found at yard sales and while i understood the reality of it i guess it kinda bothered me to get just random stuff and a han solo mego sized figure. The han was strange since she knew i did not like dolls in any way so yeah, that was weird.
>>11647438My aunt did that to us. Had gotten me that tall Luke Skywalker doll, and my older brother... the Princess Leia doll? lol... it was probably all they had left of the big ones, due to the christmas Star Wars toy craze.
>>11647454Your bro ended up with a Leia fetish, didn't he?
>>11647483with fuckable hair like that, who could blame him?
>>11647454It's kinda crazy how good that likeness to Carrie Fisher is.
Hey /toy/, any help identifying this little guy? I know he’s a pirate crew member and he comes from a pirate ship mini-playset , though I have no idea what brand
>>11654734
What do we think about no labubu pop mart's stuff?
>>11654702>Older western toys were extremely well made and looked really good, especially considering the technology at that time. Even up to early 2000s, you had amazing western toys, mask, transformers, tmnt, Dino riders.Sure, but in terms of girls toys none of them were ever really as cute as Eastern toys except perhaps for some very old Victorian-era style porcelain dolls or some select few baby dolls.I mean just compare Barbie to Licca and you’ll see there’s a stark difference.
>>11653506Kinder surprises have been legal for a while anon.
>>11654261It’s mainly because the concept of kawaii or anything cute has been demonized in modern Western culture as being inherently pedophilic.
>>11652941>Low level gambling for zoomers.There have been blind boxes from the US and Japan for years. Was it the social media push on TikTok and Insta that made PopMart take off?I've been buying Kaiyodo and Medicom blind boxes for around two decades. I have never seen it as popular as it is now with the Chinese market flooding in. The section is like five times the size it was two years ago at a local shop.
I like this one
Is anyone else fascinated by toys with this aesthetic? I don't know the exact term but I first remember seeing it in a show called George Shrinks, and it's only recently that I've discovered that toys like that actual exist. Any good or notable toys that look like it?
>>11654420>I don't know the exact term but I first remember seeing it in a show called George ShrinksTin lithography toys. Used to be popular before modern plastic became ubiquitous, Germany and Japan were especially big on them.
>>11654500>Tin lithography toys. Used to be popular before modern plastic became ubiquitous, Germany and Japan were especially big on them.Thanks. The shiny tin plus the retrofuturism (I'm not sure if that's the right term) is really captivating to me. I'll post some more images I found on tumblr.

>>11660521>I haven't decided what I want to call Proto Arcee yet.she looks like a "Starbarella" to me.
>>11660521Here's all the MLs I have so far - I skipped Bee and Cliffjumper, at least for now. I'm really loving this line - the toys are a lot more simplistic, but they seem to do a better job of being fun to play with than modern Transformers.Also, I'm dying for them to start making some Decepticons - I really, really want a ML Starscream, at the very least.
>>11660513Zodiac something on TFW. He sometimes goes overboard with the effects but his posing and shot composition are to be commended for sure.>>11660518>>11660521>>11660526I've been wracked with indecision over which Arcee to get. The only thing I can decided on is that I don't want both. So I've ended up with neither.

>>11660522>though am I wrong or... toys back then didn't tend to have such obvious hollow spotsPretty much. From what I remember, most toys were pretty solid - plastic was cheaper then, and toy companies designed their stuff with the fact that kids would be playing rough with them in mind, so they were built to last. Modern toy companies, on the other hand, cut corners pretty much wherever they can get away with it - cheaper quality plastic as the cost of oil has risen over the years, more hollowed out areas (again, so they can use less plastic), and so on. While we've advanced in terms of engineering and making things look more proportional/realistic, the penny-pinching ultimately results in an inferior and less durable product that wouldn't survive in the hands of an 80's or 90's era child; fortunately, most modern kids prefer gaming to playing with actual toys, so they can get away with it.
This is what $60 gets you now in the domestic toy market. How do you feel about this?
>>11654150they are fragile and have paint apps that are easier to damage because their quality control assumes adults are collecting them and being careful with them.
>>11653581The biggest disappointment was the downgrade of the board with a nail in it by turning it into something more overdesigned and serious.
>>11648784I agree that prices are fucked for both NA and JP toys but square enix prices are retarded.Sub par products for absurd prices.
>>11648331Looks like High Grade sculpting at least. But this is what destroys their own customer base.
>>11661692Take a look at the gap between the chest and the midsection on the sides. Or the fact that it's smooth like newer DCMVs instead of extremely striated and detailed. MK11 Spawn is still better for the money
What’s on the workbench, /toy/?Sculpts, castings, original plushies, 3D prints, dioramas, mods, kitbashes, and repaints are all welcome!Post WIPs, finished projects, ideas, techniques, ask for advice, and most of all, have fun!HELPFUL TIPS:-Invest in a rotary tool such as a dremel for sanding/sculpting, especially a flexible extension tip.-Pin vises for drilling holes can be found at hobby stores like Hobby Lobby and are great for making peg holes.-For soft, flexible parts get Sugru silicone putty and Oyumaru-Hardware epoxy putties such as Waterweld, KwikWood, and PlasticWeld are similar to milliput, greenstuff, and apoxie, can be cheaper some times, and can be found at local hardware stores such as Lowes, Ace, and Home Depot.-Bootleg figures make great custom-fodder, especially if the legit figures are pricey.-Body-chan/kun, Figma Archetype He/She, and Sozai-chan/kun are great base bodies for import-style human characters.-For 3D models to use for editing, the following sites are good to bookmark:Comment too long.

I've had an idea in mind for a while now, and it's almost done, i just need a few pieces i cannot seem to find, anyone know where i can get some withered/old hands and feet? i'm planning on making Sword Saint Isshin and Frenzy Lord Midra, i already finished the head of isshin and his helmet, his weapons have been done for a while now and Midra's sword is printing as we speak
My latest Suit is from cfordcharlesBody is the muff toys adam
>>11653672do you have a pressure pot or are you going to fix by just rotating the mold to try and get them to evacuate? Those do seem like pretty big bubbles, a pressure pot might not do the trick... might just have to remake the mold and re-orient your parts so they can vent properly, or add a vent along with your pour spout
>>11654016ok that's awesome haha
I'm trying to make a pic rel suit for Wolverine. Saw that pink vest on ebay that could work for the torso. But I need a an easier option that would save me the resculpt hassle. Any sugestions?
