What’s the appeal of Cowboy/Wild West toys?
>>11004809Colonization and expanding frontiers is based even if the collective west has been conditioned to be ashamed of it.
>>11004809lost legacyamerimutts have no culture and their "history" mostly contains boring shit like piligrims and indians.Wild West+guns+train robbery is the only time when they had some fun.Imagine - while europe has tons of stuff to remember, americans feeling nostalgic about the time when they had to own a gun to survive.
>>11004809I want it if I like the IP
>>11004821
>>11004817>americans feeling nostalgic about the time when they had to own a gun to survive.but that's all the time, specially in highschool ;)
>>11004815We should have moon bases and on the way to colonizing Mars by now.
>>11004837Exoplanets? More like white ethnoplanets.
>>11004866
>>11004968Where's the card with "wholesome hunka chunka transgirl boner chungus?"
>>11004809I'd buy a ton of those Dime Novel Legends if they were the heteronormative 1/12 scale.
>>11004817Are knights still popular in Europe? I'm pretty sure they aren't.
>>11004809Cowboys didn't exist, it's literally american fan fiction. Just a bunch of poor ranchers which exist all over the world. Cowboys are boomer cosplayers
>>11005131Cowboy is a state of mind.
>>11005131What exactly do you think a cowboy is?
>>11004809I dunno, pardner. They just look cool, I tell ya hwat. Shuddup, Dale.
>>11004809Just like the Crusades and Vietnam War, it's about the mythology. Also the cool aesthetic. And killing savage cannibalistic natives. Deus Vult, Get Some, and Yippee Ki-Yay Motherfucker.
>>11005131"Cowboy" Is in a sense a catch-all term for the varying types of those who lived in that wild time. Rangers, Gunslingers, Rustlers, Outlaws, etc.A Ranger is probably the more apt comparison to a Knight or Samurai, especially when some of the best gunfighters were soldiers, in some ways, they were western ronin. Even then, that doesn't encompass the whole of a cowboy.What makes a cowboy appealing is that is of no class or caste, you just are.Hats be nice too.
>>11004975Oh shit, it's a different one! I couldn't remember where I saw this pic posted, but I found this one, and thought they were all the same. Well, whatever, foreign fag will rage with envy all the same.>>11004809Forgot to give my take; the appeal of cowboys is the romanticization of a time in history where justice was a revolver, and your own steady nerves. It was dangerous, but rewarding. Very similar to the romanticization of pirates and ninjas; in reality, they were harsh, and reluctant jobs, but the idea of dedication to the art of the shadows to fight injustice, or collecting gold while sailing the open seas in swashbuckling adventures, is spectacular.
>>11005390Never noticed the old super-deformed aesthetic of those toys. I just watched the cartoon and game
>>11005186some poor nigga who spent his life working to herd someone else's property
>>11005131gunslingers definitely existed sorry your countries history is lame
>>11005752we waz kangz
>>11005752Yeah US history is pretty lame you got me there anon
>>11005807whatever you say eurofag
>>11005825>No no no I was wrong let me double down to protect my gay western fanfictionsOnly boomers and retards care about "cowboys", everyone else recognizes what the fuck the gilded age really was.
>>11005832>>11005825
>>11005835>>11005832
>>11005838kys faggot
>>11004809I want a bunch of these to create a western display but they are kinda expensive
>>11005949too expensive for the scale to be sure
>>11005807>imagine being American and hating the only things that make your country interesting
>>11004809They appeal to homosexuals and/or those with zero imagination. Many prefer their action figures firmly stuck in reality. Collecting things like this and toys of accountants, businessmen, and police officers.
>>11006093>retard thinks a gunslinger and an accountant are comparable. obviously from a country thats never had either.
>>110061175th generation burger my dude.Figures of random looking men are exactly as I wrote. Boring AF. Regardless of their little outfits,
>>11006184sorry you have such shit imagination or interest in history. life must be pretty boring grim
>>11006184>5th generation burger my dudethis is how the left takes over. fragile whites hate themselves and their own history
>>11006195>fragile whitesmany such cases
>>11006195>>11006205What a fucking shame, at this point asians are promoting more white culture than the west itself by featuring beautiful caucasians in their gacha games/anime, recreating European cities and cosplays as maids and bavarians.The west instead seems convinced liberal globohomo democracy is their true culture and is trying to force this shit trash down the throats of the very same asians celebrating real white culture.
>>11006226>a Nazi German little girl perfectly represents Americanswhat?
>>11006231Its not just Americans that has lost their way, all those of European descent have. America used to have heavy German heritage but its now less than 50% white.
>>11006240truth.history is not a meme or some folktale it happened and the left can't confirm that to the current narrative
>>11005949>>11005959It's a shame, really. The line is actually fleshed out and has a few dioramas (I saw a listing for a bar and something else on Amazon), but the price is a huge turn off. If you want an alternative I recommend Playmobil's western line; it's more expansive and cheaper.
>>11006187>>11006195I’ll give you that. Hadn’t thought of this being a reason of interest. I’m pretty far off from the left and don’t hate our history. I was solely taking about the figures themselves.
>>11004809they're cool>>11005959I wouldn't mind the price at the scale if they had better articulation. I understand why they have to be more expensive then Hiya 1/18 figures since they have much smaller production runs, but their articulation is so limiting, they can't hold rifles well at all.
>>11006670>Cowboy figures that can’t hold their guns properly. Also, cool picture. Cowboys and dinosaurs should be together more often.
>>11005995>Ranchers herding cattle all day is the most interesting part of US HistoryShut the fuck up Boomer
>>11007117kys fag
>>11007132why are boomers so thin skinned that calling their little cowboy toys gets them so easily mad
>>11007153>>11007132
>>11007155Yeah you mad as fuck
>>11007159k
>>11007160>boomer posts a self portraitI love how mad you are that you keep refreshing and responding so quick to prove my point
>>11007166
>>11006670cool picture
>>11004809I suspect that if you don't understand then you don't like Firefly either. Or Western movies, or the Mandelorian, or Samurai films.
>>11004837 I would be happy with a 1/18 Major Matt Mason and Co.
>>11005131 They existed. But a higher majority were blackand also badasses like Bass Reeves and Nat Love. And also Canadian Lawman like Sam Steele.
>>11006240 Yup looks like girl is a perfect representation
>>11009137>you don't like Firefly either.Yup.>Western moviesYeah.>the MandelorianI’ve hate this show since day one.>Samurai filmsYeah.
>>11004809
>>11009182 Apparently you are, and here I cast no dispersion on your race and sexual preference someone Slim Pickins would refer to as a "lily white faggot."
>>11009182>yeah I'm pretty much too cool for everything
>>11009620 I bet they don't like "music" either
>>11009620I literally never said or implied that.>>11009552Okay.
>>11004809There are a lot of great western movies, novels, comics, ect out there and it is pretty fun setting in general. I wish there were more western toys out there. I almost got into Dime Novel Legends but I couldn't really justify starting a 1:18th shelf.
>>11009194Man, these really miss the appeal of the original toys. It's like the opposite of the new Street Sharks toys.
>>11009948
>>11004815FPBP
>>11009961bro i would love a western horror line but we all know that it would be monkey pawed hard
>>11012412 They have some creepy stuff on the way from Chicken Fried.
>>11004809Wish they got better toys.
>>11005131Boomers were the first generation to start hating Cowboys.Ask your parents (grandparents) what they think of John Wayne, they'd start seething.
>>11009969They are going for figures that are accurate to the cartoon
>>11013457My guy boomers hate clowns because of John Wayne, but so does everyone else because of all the rape/murders
>>11013691 John Marian Wayne A little bitch posing as a manly man. Sucked government dick during the witch hunts. John Wayne Gacey. Dressed like a clown. Ice cream man. Mass Murderer. They are different people pimple head.
>>11013742Chill it was a joke
>>11013566 I think this is a far better design idea than all this smooth-brained "retro" I skipped Chicken Fried as I was (then) waiting for Planet Green Valley astronauts. the "normal" figures are going for about 2 times more than the original estimates and the astronauts won't be seen till doomsday.
>>11013747 Sorry. Been dealing with idiots all day. Honestly I laughed when I read it first.
>>11013457John Wayne being the standard for westerns really kind of ruined cowboys for a few generations. I thought of westerns as lame old person bullshit until Red Dead Redemption came out and I actually started digging into spaghetti westerns and shit like that.I still can't stand most of his movies outside of True Grit and even then I like the Cohen brothers remake better.
>>11013454I know 1/6 isn’t super popular here, but Kaustik plastic made really good figures of them.
>>11013691>>11014219jeezus christ is it all children here now?
>>11009142COWBOYS TONGUE MY ANUS
>>11014241I am 30. Westerns were not at all popular when I was growing up. Closest thing to a popular western I personally experienced at the time was Wild Wild West which doesn't count for obvious reasons. Other than that my experience with the genre was suffering through Wayne movies any time I visited my great grandma.The dude couldn't act for shit and most of his movies are terrible.
>>11014303go watch more marvel slop retard.
>>11014305I don't watch Marvel slop, pilgrim. I just like westerns that are actually good. How elderly are you where you are taking John Wayne slander personally?
>>11014219 A Quiet Man is possibly one of his best. The other tolerable one is Angel and the Bad Man. War wagon is good - well for the "War Wagon" Waynes worst movie is actually the Green Berets I can deal with the westerns but this one is so full of jingoistic bullshit it chokes. Sea Bees is also okay.But I (like Bogart) dislike the man.
>>11014303 The 1970's were the change to "introspective" and critical westerns. They only have begun to become "Westerns" again. - Preference wise some of the ones I like are Silverado, In the Valley of Violence, Young Guns (but not the 2nd one) The Cowboys (Wayne dies n it) , Posse, Gunless, Bone Tomahawk, and some t.v. stuff like Wild, Wild West (which ranges in tone from spooky to silly to serious. Have Gun will Travel, Maverick (love it) , and the Rifleman. I like classic revenge stories, myth and and the supernatural so literature-wise am a fan of the Holmes on the Range series - in which 2 brother cowpokes solve crimes, and Joe Landsdale's stuff... be it his supernatural preacher to Nat Love. as well as the book of (weirdly enough) the guy who created Lost Skeleton of Cadavera
Anyone ITT like Lego’s Western stuff? I hate Yellow skins so the Lone Ranger line was the best in my opinion. There is also the sole Mega Construx train robbery set.
>>11014464Those were the bread-and-butter of my Lego sets growing up in the 90s, the second-place being the Adventurers a.k.a Johnny Thunder (the knock-off Indiana Jones line). I agree that Big Chief Rattlesnake and the other Sioux should have been the bronzed tone Lego used for the Comanches in the Lone Ranger line. Other than that (and the out-of-place totem poles), that was a fun theme.
>Americans crying because guilt>Europeans crying because ???Cowboy movies are cool kys
>>11014430Have Gun Will Travel and The Rifleman are my favorite western shows. If there was a cowboy figure dressed in all black, could paint a thin mustache on him and say he’s Paladin. Lucas McCain is a bit more visually generic I think.
>>11004809I'd like nothing more than a good 1/12 line of wild west figures. Too bad there is nothing out there.
>>11005347kek
>>11014236You just know they fuck after eating those beans
>>11016102>sloperino is coolwe're talking about toys here
>>11016125 I actuality looked at my Coinbase account and apparently I am cash poor and bit rich. I have no idea which / if any toystores online that take em though. I'd like to get a couple of these guys and some joytoy marines if I could. I'm about 1/2 Way through Wild Wild West and find it's simply bananas about 40% of the time. But what I really want is to put together a gunslinger preacher and the brothers from Holmes on the range. I want a Rawhide Kid as well. (no homo) I came across a copy of a comic with him and a "Living Totem" and this other story where the sheriffs silver star kills a werewolf. good shit.
>>11004809they seem to have mostly been passed by, I imagine they were big in the 70s and 80s
>>11020181 Not really. I remeber the 70's had the "Best of the West" figures / dolls and they were like 8 or 12. Chicken Fried toys sell well but for all purposes they are a small company.A larger company producing a similar line might over-produce but I think Chicken Fried Toys could increase sales volume a but more.
>>11004809what's the best John Wayne action figure ?
