Have you ever fallen in love with a /toy/ before? I don't mean just appreciating it's work, but developing genuine emotional feelings like you would to a human being. For me it's Lego Aloy, she's so cute and beautiful I'm starting to fall in love with her.
>>11766236>Have you ever fallen in love with a /toy/ before?
I jerked off to this guy a lot. I liked that he had nothing on under the skirt.
Yes.
>>11766236I wish I could afford it. It's not like there's any for sale anyway.
>>11766236I was looking at my Supergirl minfigure when I was well into adulthood one time and I was like, "why she kinda..."
If you limit yourself to only owning one version of a given mold, should it be the more famous version, or the version you like the most? Is your collection "Incomplete" if you go with the latter?
A repaint that passes for a new character is basically a new toyThough I like to spread new character repaints around to different molds, just because I like playing with new molds
>>11771024Funny enough, I don't collecting all 6 seekers. I just get the two in your image, as I like the coloring of them best. I like Thrust because he is a slight remold. I don't bother with the other 4.My collection is MY collection, it is not to be designed by a comic, show, or toyline. I get what I like, it is not "incomplete" without the others. I don't like the others, I get what I like.
I don't have a collection by any definition, I have a stash. I buy toys I like and don't care about completing a series or line or getting all characters.
>>11771024I like to have a choice, but preferably released at the same time instead of eventually. And nothing bland like "dark form" or some monotone thing
>>11771024Matter of preference.In my collection, Starscream, Skywarp and Thundercracker are their FOC Deluxe releases, whereas the coneheads are their Generations/Universe Deluxes. Acid Storm is the Generations/Universe Deluxe, Red Wing is the Siege tetra-jet.
What went wrong?
>>11766329fpbp
>>11770693True, some of the trends are happening in other toy companies too. I don't like it when companies make random variants when ignoring other in-demand figures. I'd like it a bit more spread out.And that's all to say, I actually like Funko as a whole. My criticisms are more out of frustration than anything. I mostly like their horror stuff because something about horror being super-deformed and/or minifigure sized really scratches that itch for me. I don't know how to explain it. And their sculpts have only improved over the years.
>>11766286I work in a toy store and honestly the range has just gone to shit. Remember Kane from Alien? Yeah me neither but that's the level of shit we're getting sent in. If they just went back to basic recognisable shit it'd start selling again.
>>11766286They didn't make the characters I wanted.
>>11781959>Remember Kane from Alien?The first person in cinematic history to ever be Chestbursted? Yeah, he's kinda memorable.

>>11789394I finally found some in stock at two walmarts but they were locked up. I'm too autistic to ask someone to open up the doors and stand there while I scan every box so I just left. I know at some point next month they'll be obtainable so I'll just keep waiting.
>>11792987god I wish zaktann could fuck my girlfriend
>>11792696Best release year was by definition 2001, because it was the year I was youngest and least jaded and today am most nostalgic for.Also cool masks
>>11792696From the perspective of only keeping a year as your sets I'd keep 2002. You have your main characters the Toa that are upgraded sets from the original. The Bohrok, Va, and Bahrag make a cohesive enemy group on display. When you look at them they still have that earlier feel to them even compared to what came the year after.
>>11792874>the bohrok kal being easily the laziest cash grabs lego did for bionicleI don't completely disagree, but again, you get instructions for two cool brand new kaitas. The designers were also likely spread thin with the Rahkshi and the early stages of the Toa Metru, so they padded 2003 with some reuse of popular sets. And hey, it justifies buying enough for a swarm if they aren't all exact duplicates.
Are there any cool original new toylines these days, not based on any other IP? Like original things like GI Joe and He-Man but from the last 20 years.
These kind of things should have comics to go with them, like it or not lore and story is very important to get people invested in new toys, that's why they all had cartoons in the old days. Basically while they're planning the toys they should be planning the multimedia aspect too.
>>11781516Cartoons used to go a long way for brand awarenessEven when they weren't making Transformers or He-Man toys, the cartoons getting re-runs anyway meant that new kids were introduced to them
>>11764234I just got a few of these lads, they're badass

>>11762866Berets are so cool
Does anyone know where to get decent quality army men. It seems in the past 2 decades quality has fallen off a cliff, is Tim mee or BMC all there is?
>>11784058Check out the links in the OP. Armies in Plastic is a higher end army men brand, they also do historical stuff beyond the usual WW2 to modern era. I've had good experiences with ViiKONDO on AliExpress, they charge for shipping which puts them in the more expensive category as well but they offer quite a variety. Some of the off-brand options currently on the market are surprisingly good too, though it can be hard to tell from the increasingly ai-generated listing images.
As a kid I had a burning desire for this set. Heck. I wold love it at non-rape prices today.
Did you pre-order any of the newest slop today?Previous:>>11768635
>>11775563Yeah his regular head's a bit dinky, his altmode remains a bit unimpressive though>>11775571Well I don't!
>>11775538Replace Snarl with Slug since he's not in the movie.
>>11773582That's disingenuous; the proto was engineered to go into supermode at least. The pelvis is noticeable to be split; he has hands behind the legs & a supermode head visible underneath.Even then it was a PROTOtype Mr. Mark Maherhttps://www.seibertron.com/transmissions/more-pics-of-new-star-convoy-and-armada-optimus-prime-revealed-at-wonder-festival-2019-winter/42891/>>11773568I too prefer the prototype way better
>>11775785>He comes from one of the most famous scenes of transformers history...True. I don't see how someone could watch the movie and somehow sleep through the intro with his fucking planet being omnicided.>Gears Sunstreatker that stegosaurus and other transformers are glup shittos compared to Kranix.Nah never mind, you're at least big an idiot as the other retard you're arguing with.Original Autobots and any G1 Dinobot (the most popular sub group in the franchise), by definition, cannot be glup shittos. A glup shitto is a super obscure character who no one (as in most normal semi-casual fans) has heard of.God you people are all retards, this is one of the worst /tfg/s yet. Over half of the thread is you idiots circle-jerking over this dumb shit.

All this for a drop of a paycheck, the gull of them.
>>11775284Broke my heart that the movie did so poorly. I still love it and wish the theme could have taken off. Though I do think the minifigs came off a bit bland. Wish they would have done a Level Pack for Dimensions. I wonder what the timeline looks like where Speed Racer beat out Iron Man in the box office and the MCU never really took off?

NEW FLAT THREAD!>>11778377>>11778377>>11778377
Serious question here.People use credit cards everywhere. eBay and other marketplaces, Shopify stores, standalone stores, etc. There are at least half a dozen reputable processors that let you securely pay an invoice via credit card.Why does everybody demand PayPal and apps like Venmo and CashApp? Do you not have cards? Are stuck in the 90s and afraid to use them on the interwebs? What's behind this?I'd like sell off some stuff at reasonable prices. But it seems like my options are to charge high prices to pay high eBay fees or charge high prices to cover high table fees at a comic con. I'd really just rather only pass along the 3% card fee (or not). Seriously, help me out here!
>>11772974>Used on eBay They remain in bed with each other even after the spin-off, so someone bitching about one and not the other is seeing shit with rose tints.
>>11772777>It's fucking baffling that people wouldn't take the easiest route with the widest acceptance, which is clearly standard credit cards.The "easiest route" for small-time randos online selling person-to-person is for them to continue using paypal as they have for years, if not decades.I don't even know why eBay is in the discussion here, since you can use credit cards there anyway. And if you absolutely, positively must use a credit card, just open a paypal and link your credit card to it. Its that simple.>Buh-buh-but I don't wanna open a paypal!Congratulations. You now know why some rando selling three Marvel Legends out of his mom's basement doesn't want to open credit card processing for one, or three or ten transactions in a year.Also, I am almost certain that to accept credit card payments/transactions, you are required to collect state tax from people, and that is something you have to do all the math for on your end. And every state has a different rate, so it is up to you to figure that out and then send it to the government. And no one wants to do that, or even have to worry about having to worry about that.If you want to use a credit card, link it to paypal, and if you don't want to use paypal, now you know why people don't want to deal with accepting credit cards.
>>11772800 Mercari thought it’d attract more business to be able to sell without fees, and lower priced listings would attract more buyers. Which of course would be true, if things were that simple. But lots of sellers didn’t even lower their prices accordingly. And even for the ones that did, there is sticker shock for the customer when you see something costs $100, and then to get to checkout and it’s $120. They don’t just eat it, they immediately go check eBay to double check to see it actually costs the same there. And fuck it, now that they’re on eBay and the price is the same, they might as well just buy it there.
