Hey /toy/ figured I'd just make a thread and ask since it'd be quicker. I got this old Temjin toy off ebay. It was sealed, but the texture of the toy itself feels sticky as does all of the articulation. Is there a solution to fix this?
>>10981731Probably plasticizer, hard to get rid of completely so you'll have to put up with it to a degree. Try leaving it in lukewarm soapy water overnight then giving it a gentle wash or putting tape over it and taking it off again carefully. I've never damaged paint aps with either of these things but I can't speak for every kind of figure. Good luck, this guy looks really cool
>>10981740thanks /toy/
>>10981761Be very, very careful. I got the Cypher from this line years and years ago and the wrist pegs are made of the same weird material as the rest of the toy and kind of stick to the inside of the wrist joint if left too long. Plus since the figure itself isn't made of the most solid material swiveling the wrist can result in shearing the hand off from the wrist peg. It's what happened to mine at least.

>>10981740>>10981797That's always been a problem with this line, even when they were new. I'm having PTSD flashbacks of /toy/ banding together doing repairs and DIYing new joints for these guys.
>>10981731Sega are sat on so much amazing IP that they do nothing with.
I'm surprised people are actually posting here so I'll post the pics I took before I bathed him.
>>10981864>>10981861he looks fun youre making me want one
These pegs (not joints) coukd only twist and they suck for any sort of posing, baffles me that you cant even rotate the arms to any meaningful degree, it's only worthwhile doing preset poses as demo'd at the back of the box.But boy were they on point with the in-game proportions however.
>>10981731Did someone cum on the toy before packaging it?

>>10984130I hate it when I'm in a situation where a toy looks good but poses like shit or vise versa. I tried modifying my fei yen so it would be more to my liking but I only managed to successfully give her better neck and ankle joints. It was used and broken too so don't worry about me burning cash. I do wish to find a way to make the arms better but I can't think of any ways to do it.
Temjin's one of my faves, thanks for sharing OP.

>>10981731The orange variant of this toy is better just for this reason. It has a blue stand too which looks cooler
I remember finding a review of this toy someone made in 2004, where they accidently pasted I think their pornhub search history into a huge chunk of his article and no one noticed to point it out. kekhttps://www.collectiondx.com/toy_review/2000/temjin_dna_side
>>10998750Incredible. Nobody fucking tell Josh.
>>10998750>It's real>NoFuckingWay>Check Wayback>First appeared back in 2021Hahaha holy shit.
>>10998750I can't believe he didn't check it. lol
>>10998750It reads more like the keyword salad at the end of a page or ad. It is funny that it's just interjected into the middle of a paragraph and then it just goes right back to talking about the toy after. It's also funny that there's one comment and it doesn't mention it at all.
>>10998750>>10999481I swear I remember seeing this review years ago and this wasn't there. Did his site get hacked at one point?
