How'd i do, /toy/?
>>11151579Happy for you, homie. I don't know if I could've personally dropped $60 on one, but I probably would've regretted passing on it later haha
>>11151579>>11151581Id say you hit the jackpot. The real question is whether or not you're going to open it.
>>11151579That is legit a great score. I've seen scumbags in toy collector groups trying to charge that much for loose ones with paint scrapes. And people will pay that price. Crazy.

This is a question that has entered my mind somewhat recently and I wanted to get some opinions on it. This isn't asking what the difference is between the two but where exactly is the line drawn that distinguishes the two.The generally accepted view is that statues are immovable pieces meant purely for display while figures are designed to have things such as action features, different mixes of plastics/metals as well as the intention for moving parts. Normally this should be all that is needed: Statues are sculpted in one specific pose while figures feature articulation for different poses. That however brings up another problem: How little articulation is needed for something to be considered one or the other?To give an example, retro Kenner Star Wars figures featured at most 4 points of articulation in the shoulders and hips. Not very articulated but accepted as figures. Let's bump that down to just two. No doubt we've all owned or at least seen plenty of figures that may only have something like articulation in the shoulders. Immovable hunks of plastic that only generate movement those specific areas, yet we still accept that like with the above. Enter Pic Rel. It's a character from One Piece that comes from a line of statues called Portrait of Pirates. Very popular with collectors. Why I'm using this one as an example is because it too also features two points of articulation in the shoulders, same as plenty of other figures in the past. He also features interchangeable parts, so there is a level of action feature playability that puts him above even some figures that don't do such.If a "statue" like that can feature the same amount of playability as any other "figure" then what else is needed to distinguish the difference?
less than 3 points of articulation (head and both arms) is a statue for me
>>11138540One piece got them battleborn proportions.
>>11138540>It's a character from One Piece that comes from a line of statues called Portrait of Pirates. Very popular with collectors.Is the line only popular because it's Wan Piss? Because that looks ugly as fuck.
>>11150742Portrait of Pirates is based. First line that got me into collecting 20 years ago.
Somewhere between Marvel 12 inch shampoo bottles and DC 12 inch actually possable, gi-joesque figures

>>11146635>used in ancient Egypt>2 countries down they’ve never bothered with chairsMaybe they just didn’t like them for some reason? The wooden pillows etc used in Ancient Egypt are popular through Africa and there was plenty of trade through the continent, so it’s not like the idea of chairs couldn’t spread. I think they also just never usually bothered with extra stories on buildings due to the heat, so multiple stories would be kinda interesting but gimmicky in Africa before aircon.

After hearing so much about these toys I decided to buy some of them.I'm a fidgeting fanatic and I buy these stress balls to fisget around. So I did think to myself >Hey lets see how these things are for fidgeting.I got mantaro and the red dinosaur (pictured) and I'm not impressed the dinosaur is like extra hard (are we sure that these toys are for children) I also removed the top part of its head since the plastic is disturbing to fidget around.The mantoaro figure is .... eh it has like a capt made out of rubber that is very uncomfortable and is in the way and since it is water based I suspect most of it evaporated (despite me buying if fresh from the store) it is like not enough water and the fidgeting is meh.The capt is the most annoying part of the whole thing I'm almost ready to take scissors and remove it.What are other peoples experiences with these toys and are they any good?

Is the X-Men Villains set worth getting? I've been thinking about getting it for a while but haven't heard much talk about it on here. Worth the money?
>>11152557Depends on two thing: do you want Stryfe and his zentai clad butler Zero? And do you want the full PAD X-Factor roster? Zero is exclusive to the set and the original ML Stryfe is a $100+ figure and the box set actually gets his mask right (the Jubilee BAF version has a simplified mask). Same with Random, who is needed to have the full PAD X-Factor team. The other figures are hit or miss. Vertigo's there to tease fans who've been wanting more Marauders and/or Savage Land Mutates and Pretty Boy's a hot mess with the wrong look for the guy, ZERO accessories (no stretch arms or alternate head with mind rape tentacles coming out of his eyes) and the fact that they stuck his head on a blatantly unaltered Silverman robot body.

>>11151596Does that mean if somebody posted a set on Lego ideas based on K-on or naruto that used minidolls instead of minifigs you would NOT support it?
>>11150961>>11151596I prefer minifigs because they are more Lego-y. But the skirts are an issue because they are not easy to portray as a print, I think a cloth piece like some clone troopers may be best even if it breaks away from the Lego-ness and possibly makes them harder to sit down. I'd also say that their faces should have eyes drawn just like the original anime, but dot eyes work well because they already get to look that way when superdeformed

Found and bought a second hand "Rodeo Farm" Fisher Price Husky Helper set todayAnybody else kind of in love with the simplicity of the older Fisher Price sets? Always found them kind of appealing, particularly the Adventure People series

Post racist toys. Here's Mr. Popo.
There is a black doll in the Raggedy Ann line based off of the mammy archetype.She eventually got a redesign that toned down that aspect and made her a lot cuter.

Who is the blue fella?
>>11138617It's the Legioss Alpha from Genesis Climber Mospeada, which was called the Veritech Alpha Fighter when Mospeada was dubbed as Robotech: The New Generation, but otherwise it isn't connected to Macross.>>11138621It was sold as an Alpha/Tread two-pack. Tread is the unit on the back, Alpha is the one in front. The Tread was called a Beta Fighter in Robotech.
Thanks! Is there a database/wiki that's decent?
>>11138809That depends... are you looking for a database of Mospeada toys, Robotech toys, Mospeada mecha designs, or Robotech mecha designs?
>>11138917Heh! All I guess!
>>11146667Well, Robotech's website has lists of mecha designs, and the ones under "The New Generation" are from Mospeada: https://robotech.com/roboverse/mecha-databaseAnd this is the Mecha category in the Robotech Fandom wiki: https://robotech.fandom.com/wiki/Category:VeritechsConversely, the original Japanese Mospeada series doesn't have much coverage, because most people wouldn't remember it if it wasn't for Robotech.
Any good Son Wukong figures? I know four horsemen have a "super sayian" son wukong coming and fury toys has 2 versions of son wukong. Any others out now for a decent price. Been playing Black Myth and now I really want a monkey in my collection
>>11143843>Interesting, and super impressive if a custom. I guess he didn't include any other context?I looked it up on his twitter and the figure is by Dennis Chan (always bumping). He mentions being a toy sculptor but the monkey prince figure seems like he just made it for the writer of the comic.
>>11140704I prefer the inflames 1/6 monkey king.
Looks like romankey is making a Wukong figure. Should be good.
>>11150640Fuck dropped pic
>>11143798Have this guy and he's one of my favorites in my collection.

>>11149481For all the creepy and stupid shit with chris, despite jokes on the matter, chris has never really had any pedo inclinations
>>11142818the pre Zyuranger ones were Turboranger (all 5 of them had a figure) and Fiveman, of which they only made Five Red. I have a few Turbos and I have Five Red.
>>11148000I wonder why it skipped around? Jetman and Dairanger would have been cool.
>>11136266I have a Green Ranger still in box
>>11147696When the fuck does this thing ship? It's been pushed back almost half a year.
>>11148033I think the 5.5" figures sold more, and almost all of the sentai series from the early 80s to the mid 90s got them.

>>11157529>>11157602Idk, im not feeling the real vibe a vintage gives off. Kinda feels like those build a figure with parts deals. Except you arent. All the rubber band retro stuff just looks kinda bad, like bootlegs imo when compared to an actual arah swivle battle grip blah blah. They might be awesome but im not curious despite s7 doing all these wacky gi joe reaction figures that look fun.
