>>111228801:18th mogging the bigger scales again.
>>11122942
>>11122944I got the turtles preorded already and these 2 look fucking amazing. Can't wait for April, Shredder and Casey.
>>11122945he's a good amount smaller than the Mammoth but still looks to be a pretty large figure.>>11122944>>11122951crazy how much detail Joytoy can pack into these figures. I'm happy with Hiya having the license for GI Joe, but damn would it be nice to see Joytoy handle the franchise.
What's the articulation like on a Joytoy?
>>11123013depends on the figure. The normal humans have good range... but they're not exactly the most reliable figures. I recently picked up one of their generic figures and her knees fell off within a week of having her.
>>11122944>>11122951>>11122942>>11122945>>11122993This is why 1/18 is my favorite scale. Humanoidsd can have as much detail and articulation as 1/12 figures and it also allows for big animals and vehicles that wouldn't be possible in larger scales
dead scale for babies, thought there was an age minimum on this board
>>11123013Let's find out!Ah One!Ah Two!Ah Three!*crack*Uh...
>>11123318If your scale can't have a T. rex, why even collect it?
>>11123013I follow up to what I said here >>11123022For their normal humans, Pretty good. Definitely better than anything Mattel, Hasbro, BFS, Dime Novel Legends, and Acid Rain World have up for offer, but their bulkier figures like the power armor clad ones I have here are much more limited. I cant say how they compare with Hiya because my walking dead figures dont ship for a while, but I'll be sure to compare them when they do. The issue I had with the female figure doing the jump kick with her handgun out was not a break in the joints it was just that the glue used to hold knees in place on their pegs did not hold up well so they popped off. After I glued them back on and made I didnt have any other issues like breaks of something along those lines.>>11123313The ability to have everything from tanks and Tyrannosaurs to motorbikes and Velociraptors is one of the big reasons I love the scale.
>>11123313I don't consider myself a scalefag. I have plenty 1/12 scale things but I don't enjoy playing with them as much. It feels like handling Duplo blocks as opposed to Lego bricks and beyond toy photography they don't really do much for me. Buuuuuuuuuuuuut.....My 'tism is that I HATE it when the 1/12 crowd (especially those who are elitist about the scale) start yapping about how they want big things like buildings, vehicles, dinosaurs etc. It's especially frustrating how many more accessories (and characters, especially Star Wars) they have available to them. When they Haslab it like the Rancor it doesn't get funded. When they do make it like the Black Series TIE fighter or the 1/12 JP T-Rex its unwieldy and doesn't sell. There's also a lot of world building Japanese shit for like Figmas that are good slice of life type things like a train platform or a classroom that I'd love for PGV figures but we can't have nice things anymore because ACBA convinced everyone that 1/12 was the better scale for a hobby that the IG algorithm all but killed. REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!
I’m trying to do some custom figures in this scale of the Russian Civil War, but I’ve never painted a figure before. The first I want to do is a White Army Officer (the one in black on the left). I’m thinking Marauder Soviet WWII body, though perhaps with different pants from DNL. I’m wondering if anyone has any guidance when it comes to painting figures and adding the little details like epaulette insignia and such.
>>11123850This guy will make custom decals if you fill out the attached sheet. This way you can make epaulettes like Marauders does which is to say a sticker/decal. I don't have his email on hand: https://www.ebay.com/str/badmothercustoms?_trksid=p4429486.m3561.l161211As for the paints, all I know is that you want to use acrylics and avoid using enamel based paints.
>>11123441Fortnite has never been better. Where did you get the green dinosaur!?
>>11123441>The ability to have everything from tanks and Tyrannosaurs to motorbikes and Velociraptors is one of the big reasons I love the scale.This. Love how versatile the scale is. >easier to create dioramas at this scale>tons of playsets available >army building is viable at this scale>vehicles galore>you can mix in 1/12 scale figures and have them as monsters/giants to battle your 1/18th figures.
>>11123816Love the pics tomcat.
>>11123413super collossal rex is 1/12, in fact most of the super collossal dinos are. next.
>>11124617Which green one? The olive green Giga, I got at Target. The more vibrent green Buck Rex is my customized HC Rex>>11124660>you can mix in 1/12 scale figures and have them as monsters/giants to battle your 1/18th figures.I do this all the time with my Star Wars droids.
>>11124663Thanks, here's. few more
I was doing skimpy PGV gun girls and intended to do beefcake male stripper mewing man-bimbos to match and they just ended up dancing.
>>11124660>you can mix in 1/12 scale figures and have them as monsters/giants to battle your 1/18th figures.I like LoL's Blitzcrank for this. I know nothing about the game but it's a versatile figure.
>>11125143Dime Novel Legends Cav Stetson for a 1st Cav look, but Marauder's berets for that generic "Army Strong" look
>>11124660>>11125139I use this dude for that. In 1/12 he's about 9 feet tall, but in 1/18 he's about the same height as the HC rex>captcha: JGAYX
>>11125143>>11125145what figure is that?
>>11125347Sometimes I swat parts between figures. The base body is : https://www.bigbadtoystore.com/Product/VariationDetails/95099The face and feet are from this: https://www.bigbadtoystore.com/Product/VariationDetails/111836The hands come from this: https://www.bigbadtoystore.com/Product/VariationDetails/167037?o=4Which is also where I got pic related's body.
>>11125135PGV figures are soo photogenic. >>11125332That would make a great monster against 1:18th figures. very nice.
>>11128427>>11125332>>11125139>>1/12 as monstrous creatures.YES
>>11125419Can you take the heads off of Joytoy figures?
>>11128727Yes, they are. They can be easily popped off. If you put the figures in hot water you can easily disassemble the entire figure.
hooker came in
>>11129724What is that creature?
So bad news for anyone still waiting on the Marauders Vietnam stuff. They just sent out an email stating that they're going to give out full refunds to all backers due to the current and potential future delays the wave is facing. Apparently everything that could have gone wrong with this project has just gone wrong and they still don't have a clear timeframe of when it'll ship out. So they're just gonna eat over $500k to refund everyone who supported the project. They're still going to continue to work on the figures, and they'll be for sale on their website once they're done. But nothing will be shipped out to any of the backers directly and if you want the figures you'll have to buy em yourself. People will have two options: A direct full refund to your original payment method or Store credit on the MTF site at 125% of your pledged payment. Considering how many previously successful projects they've run, this development is kind of surprising and sad. The fact they're so upfront about everything and actually willing to offer these refunds is also very impressive. I honestly don't even remember what I pledged for at this point, but I'll probably go with the Store Credit option. These guys have always been one of the better indy companies running out there so I have no problem buying more of their product, even after this whole situation.
>>11129847Yeah it sucks to hear that. I too will be going with the 125% credit. I'm pretty sure they will get most of the figures released at some point just going to have to wait a little longer.
>>11129847Fuck. That sucks for both Marauder and the customers. Factory fuckery, I s'pect?
>>11129861There wasn't one single issue, but a string of em that they just weren't expecting or prepared for. Though the biggest factor seems to be the size and variety of the project itself, as all that new tooling just compounds any other problems that cropped up. I been seeing more Kickstarters offer smaller or broken up waves instead of the massive and varied releases of the old Mythic Legions line and such, and I feel this makes them move much faster. And after rechecking my backer kit, I had almost $300 invested in this project. I hope they give backers a heads up or maybe even early access to their 'Nam figures when they eventually drop because there were a lot of fun characters I'd still love to pick up.
>>11129762IT's one of those limited edition Acid Rain figures. I forget the name, but the first ones were pretty hard to get. Maybe the other version weren't limited, since they didn't seem to sell out.>>11129847sucks to hear.I'm surprised they even have the money to give out a refund.I should buy some shit just to help them out.
>>11129847Well that sucks but as someone who didn't back it, I'm glad they'll still be available to buy on the website at some point.
>>11129847sucks ass that the vietnam stuff ended up being a disaster, but it's good that they're doing a refund and offering store credit, it means they can survive the hit and probably had a good amount of money on hand to cushion the blow. I know plenty of smaller companies haven't had the money on hand so people lose what ever they put in.
>>11129724what figure is the lady of the night?
>>11130772I know Ragingspoons is in that boat, his Base Building kickstarter is in limbo because of engineering issues and people are getting rabid. But the dude don't have the funds to start refunding everyone at this point. It's awful when this happens cause people instantly forget that nothing is guaranteed in Kickstarter and instantly start tossing around the "scam" accusations. Like the molds were made, things are being produced, but sometimes crap goes wrong and stuff goes under despite your best efforts. Funny enough, I believe Marauders, Ragingspoon and even the Skeletron guys are all using the same factory, so issues with one project can negatively affect all of em.
Mattel just keeps upping their game man.
>>11130953Looks nice
>>11130953Oh dang, what is this and where can I buy it?
>>11131038The Hammond Collection Allosaurus. Pre-orders on target dot com sold out basocally instantly, but I'll be available in a month or 2 in storea
>>11130948I always feel bad fore people who lose money in kickstarters, but you gotta be prepared to never see a dime. These are not preorders, there's plenty of time for random happenstance to fuck shit up. I remember the pandemic annihilated more than a few kickstarters because the factories got shut down for so long.
Speaking of kickstarters, new elephant for the PBS Eons kickstarter dropped.
>>11130948>Funny enough, I believe Marauders, Ragingspoon and even the Skeletron guys are all using the same factory, so issues with one project can negatively affect all of em.Supposedly Action Force is made by in the same factory. There haven't been any issues with those, so....I think the combination of nearly 40 SKUs and one person handling modeling them is the likely major issue. They really should have broken them up into waves, but that ship's sailed.
>>11131298Thanks anon!
>>11132049Looking good
>>11122993looks like it's a good bit smaller than the previous elephants
>>11132049Do want. Always loved old scoop'n'snoot
>>11129724Is that female figure an Abbex 2179 figure? I dont recognize it
>>11130777>>11133023yeah its an acid rain annex Aid Angel, one of their convention/limited figures that came out recently.
>>11129762One of The Luggans by Acid Rain World
>>11133552I swear, Acid Rain comes out with some of the most out of left field concepts for figures. I love the line as a whole, but they are certainly smoking something with some of the crazy characters they pump out.
>>11133761They're not even that crazy, you're probably just used to the same 3 companies shitting out figures of the same 6 properties for the past 40 years so anything that's even a little bit different is a breath of fresh air.
>>11133761>making puffy cloth suited figures in 1:18 isn't crazy........ Maybe everything else they make isn't crazy, but those certainly are.And what would you even consider to be crazy?
>>11133830I'll admit, I conflate the Annex stuff, which is where they really get wild, with the Acid Rain stuff. I guess I should've said "Toys Alliance makes some crazy stuff" and not Acid Rain specifically. I certainly didn't mean it as an insult to the line though, I love when they pump out crazy colored trucks and dudes in ghille suits and giant antlers. But no matter how you slice it, a buncha guys in space creature fur suits packing rocket launchers and miniguns running around a post apocalyptic warzone is certainly up there on the crazy factor.
Are Acid Rain figures actually worth the price? It's hard for me to imagine the quality is twice as good as most other companies to justify paying twice as much for their stuff.
>>11134001As someone who has bought, sold off, and rebought large amounts of acid rain stuff 3 times over, yes. They are my current favorite line of 1/18 and they have more or less stayed in this position since their inception. They have the best pose-ability, good paint apps, and all accessories work well without any finnicky bullshit. Hands hold everything well, from large guns to tiny knives. Vests stay on, helmets stay on, etc. Plastic quality on everything made since the switch to Toys Alliance is fantastic- and at this point this is the vast majority of all figures produced. (Acid Rain was originally produced by Oritoy, these older figures while having even better paint apps imo had bad plastic quality that crumbled over time). No other company can compete. The stuff mass produced at retail is a joke. Hiya and Joytoy I like, but they have more issues for me- for example warhammer, I have about 2 dozen figures from, and I like, but I'd say only 3 or 4 of them are flawless, there's usually something like a piece thats always falling off, or a loose joint, or an accessory that doesn't function the way it's supposed to, etc. If you like the design of an acid rain or annex figure, get it. You won't be disappointed. And shit, even if you are, the figures either hold their values or go up, so you can unload it easily.
>>11134031What's a good place to order them from? I usually just see them on BBTS but I know they usually upcharge a little bit. There's a few figures I've definitely wanted to buy but hesitate because it's just a lot to swallow for a 4" figure.
>>11134060Pia club is their dedicated store and it ships worldwide, they have the best prices even with the international shipping. BBTS sometimes has sales though that make them worthwhile.
>>11134031>(Acid Rain was originally produced by Oritoy, these older figures while having even better paint apps imo had bad plastic quality that crumbled over time).Yeah, I had one where the foot broke of fairly without explanation.
>>11134001>Are Acid Rain figures actually worth the price?It's tough. Part of me wants to immediately say yes, because I love the aesthetic style of both Acid Rain World and Annex 2179. The closest you get to it is JoyToy's Battle for the Stars line, which have the trade-off of being cheaper, but also feeling cheaper (the human figures not the Mechs, the JoyToy mechs are amazing). For me, I think they're worth the extra 30 to 40 bucks per figure, but if you aren't super into the style then your mileage may vary. >>11134060>What's a good place to order them fromif you're deal-hunting BBTS and occasionally Mercari. If you're buying in bulk then Pia Club, because the savings counters the enormous cost of shipping.
>>11134001ARW is one of the all time greatest in this scale. The playability alone is near peerless. While I thought they had more charm a decade ago everything new is still impressive. The first generation OriToy ones haven't aged well though. People say they're deteriorating but I found the ones handled most last the longest, otherwise they get like a weird "lot rot"
>>11135034Most of my old Acid Rain figures are still in tip top shape, but I think it's a matter of time before they start to crumble away. Too many people have reported their stuff is rotting, so there's no way it doesn't affect everyone.I keep my stuff in a climate controlled house, so it's probably why my shit is still intact. It helps they're in non-sun facing closets, since a wall that faces the sun could unevenly warm a closet up, especially since it's enclosed 99.99% of the time.Shit like this is why I stopped buying Acid Rain stuff. I don't actively avoid it, but they're no longer that high on my list and I just buy other stuff instead. I mean, it did take years and years before someone started reporting their Ori made figures started breaking, so who knows if or when the new ones will start breaking too.When did they switch from Ori Toys to Toy Alliance? 2020?
I am beyond pissed about the cancelation of Marauder Vietnam. I had so many customs planned that were all hinging on that line from GI Joe pilots to Kong Skull Island characters to the cast of Tropic Thunder. All of that is now up in smoke and I have no alternatives.
>>11135067No, it was way before that. I believe the last figure that was Oritoy was the Space Prisoner, or right around then, which came out at the end of 2017. Oritoy was producing for about 4 years before that, but that was a big gap between the first launch figures and everything that followed. Toys Alliance ramped up in 2018 and started releasing way more figures at a faster pace. I think the TA figures outnumber the oritoy ones by more than 5:1 at this point, and none of them have any signs of breakdown the way the oritoy ones did.
>>11135269I am bummed that it got shitcanned too. I love Vietnam-era military stuff. Sounds like they are still planning on releasing some of it down the line though. The campaign was just too good to be true.
>>11135269Grow up anon, you're getting A)money back or B) store credit.They'll still make them, just won't be all at once. They bit off way too much
>>11135447>Grow up anon, you're getting A)money back or B) store credit.I'm not getting any money back because I didn't back the KS. I was just starting my hobby around the time the KS completed. This isn't about money.
>See a new wave of HACKS posted>Really like what I'm seeing>Only realize later it's for the 6" line God damnit. I just wanted to army build some of these guys and the cool Mongol guy. I hope they make them in the normal scale.
>>11135269They're still making them, but because it's taken so long, they're refunding everyone.People can keep a credit at their store for when they finally release them.So everything is still coming out, but i guess MGR got tired of everyone asking when it's coming out.
>>11135521That still sucks, but that's not quite as bad. Maybe it's not a total loss, but I feel really bad for all the people who didn't get what they wanted and now they have to wait for the opportunity to spend money a second time for the parts and bucks that they funded.
>>11135469You'll just have to wait longer senpai
>>11135546I've had to wait two years longer than expected with some Kickstarters, but that's because of fucking stretch goals. Every extra new thing needs to be prototyped and also produced, extending the amount of time it takes to complete a project.And that's exactly what happened here, or at least so says >>11129871The fact that MGR is giving everyone a refund is above and beyond what 115% of other Kickstarters generally do. In fact, if something goes wrong, a lot of KS just fail and nothing is ever produced. Most companies don't have the capital to continue on with a product if it doesn't go exactly right and we must be living in Bizarro World for MGR to even give a refund, muchless continuing on with the project.Maybe MGR is hoping most people take a store credit instead of opting for the full refund.
>>11135636>Maybe MGR is hoping most people take a store credit instead of opting for the full refund.That'd be my guess. They probably figured most people that backed it are probably also customers they already have, so they know they can afford to keep production going since they'll make the money back pretty easily.
>>11135636>>11136530Fuck them they used the money to make the molds and told everyone to fuck off and by the way the product is still coming later as a first come first serve on the website which means my money from the all in 1st is going to let these none funding fuckers getting a chance at them before me. What is this Commiefornia tactics ?
>>11136530Given MGR's reputation and generous extra store credit, i can imagine a lot of people are going to just stick it out.I mean, i didn't back it and since i like MGR's product and hope they continue making more, I'm actually putting in an order, just to prop them up. ... and in case shit does go wrong, because where else am i gonna get such awesome customizable figures and gear like this?I don't want them to disappear.
>>11136588Yea, no, you're an asshole. If you did go with the initial all in, they offering DOUBLE of what you paid in store credit. They don't have to offer you anything, but here they are, eating all these costs and offering full refunds or bonus store credits because they feel their production is taking too long. Every other KS would just clam up and tell you "Sorry not sorry" but these dudes be bending over backwards to try and appease their fans. Combined with their two decades of fantastic service and multiple previously fantastically run KS, they certainly earned the benefit of the doubt for this mess. The true measure of someone isn't whether or not they make mistakes, but how they resolve mistakes that they made. And MGR is out there putting everyone else to shame with how well they're handling this so this backer will have no problems waiting till they get their figures in stock to rebuy em all, and then some.
>>11136588I don't think there's anything to worry about when it comes to having enough product to go around. They always have plenty of stock.Even when they do run out of a specific body, variant, redeco, or whatever, MGR routinely restarts production on weapons, figures, and accessories for when something does run out.This is why most people like MGR, because they'll always have what you want.They're a trust worthy company, hence this refund despite the products still coming out. They understand people don't like waiting around forever and even give an option for people who are willing to wait around by giving store credit PLUS extra for the delay.Nevermind the bonus stuff they give out with every order. They really do put their all into making their customers happy and this is why people like them so much.
>>11136602That's how I feel. And I want them to keep expanding into more themes. My hope is they'll eventually break into more space/sci-fi stuff. The cyborg arms they just did are a good addition. I'd love to see full robotic bodies and aliens.
>>11135517I'm pretty sure they're slowly trying to move away from 1/18. More money in 1/12 in the West who are their primary consumers. 1/18 is big in China so Hiya, Toy Alliance, and Joytoy so they'll continue to be strong supporters of the scale.
>>11135521>So everything is still coming outUnlikely
>>11136650>but these dudes be bending over backwards to try and appease their fansBecause it's been years
How are the Hiya Alien and Predator figures?
>>11136986Boss Fight just seems to be making toys in every scale at this point. Their Dino line and a few other series are 5" figures, they're still doing classic 1:18 HACKS but now they're pushing into the 1:12 scale stuff too. It's a smart move to cover more bases, but I would hope they start doing more themes in their 1:18 line. If they start pumping out sci-fi/space themed 1:18 figures while pushing out more fantasy 1:12 stuff, I'll be dropping a lot more money their way.

>>11139069the adult is an absolute unit
>>11137392They feel a little small honestly. Preds are supposed to be 7-8 feet tall, and they don't really feel like it next to other 1/18" figures. Articulation is mostly pretty good, except the ankles are very limited on all the Preds I have. Sculpt is pretty crisp and finely detailed. The paintjobs are insane, they're near NECA quality and quantity at 1/18 scale. It's probably the most impressive part of Hiya. Especially stuff like the Predator skin patterns are very intricate at this size.I really think you should at least try one, cause they are really impressive little things in hand.
>>11122944>>11122951Rocksteady looks great, but something looks off about Bebop. His sideburns and mohawk shape look bad somehow, it's throwing me off. His glasses also look kinda bad with the actual see through holes, they should have filled those in. Dunno if I will pick him up, a headsculpt is a pretty hard thing to fix.
>>11129724wait, where did those clear clothes come from?
>>11139119haven't been too impressed with Hiya's paint apps for their Godzilla line because they're pretty overzealous with the paint it it can looked caked on in places, but it doesn't look like a problem with their Predator figures. It sucks they're a bit on the smaller side than they should be, but I'll pre-order their unmasked Wolf based on your recommendation.>>11139125those are the clothes she comes with, looks like she's sold out though so good luck with scalper prices on Ebay.
>>11137392My only complaint about Jungle Hunter V2 is limited ankles (I would much rather have a tilt than the universal setup they currently have). I remember their earlier Xeno releases being somewhat fragile but I think I heard that that got fixed.
>>11139646Not fragile.I abused mine pretty good trying to take everything apart.Getting everything back in was a bitch though. I was afraid of breaking it, so i heated up the pieces.Never had a problem with Hiya's stuff, even their old Our War mushy shit.I wish i was a bigger alien fan to army build them better, since they've gone up in price.
>>11139121I think it looks great. Going to nab both. I'm assuming we are for sure getting at least 2 more bad guys. Shredder would be one but who would be the 4th?I also hope we get a good looking curvy April and a badass Casey. >>11139147I grabbed 4 as soon as they showed up on Pia club. 44 bucks for an exclusive figure was a steal. I can sell 2 and that pays for the 2 im keeping and make a $100.
>>11139653Do you have any of the queen Aliens?
Another Hiya Star Trek figure coming.
>>11140100Yes.I don't think I've taken a picture of it, but any review will tell you the jist of it: amazingly detailed figure but the spikes are a bitch and a half to put on. They're rubbery, so they aren't going to break on you. Almost nothing will, given mine actually fell a couple of feet onto tile floorThere's a couple of queens, but i believe mine is the Alien 2 one, which is pic.
>>11139754I was gonna ask if I could buy one off you but then realized you meant you were gonna charge $100 each. Damn.
>>11140871prices skyrocketed on that figure.
>>11139646Durable but oddly flimsy at the same time. Maybe I loosened up my joints too much but it won't stand on it's own weight and while I haven't had an issue I'm scared it'll snap a joint because they're so thin. >>11142894Acid Rain has one of the biggest aftermarket markups of any line save for Planet Green Valley. Speaking of which, BBTS has some right now: https://www.bigbadtoystore.com/Search?Brand=16456Regarding Acid Rain, I recall a few years back that individual OriToy era Marines were going for like $300 a piece at one point and I saw a dude at the BST on FB (Nuclear Storm) buy a few then literally a week later the reissue was announced.
>>11143393>https://www.bigbadtoystore.com/Search?Brand=16456>$64.99Shit, why would anyone not just buy them direct from China? They are 40-45 bucks shipped from China.
>>11129847 I would honestly be okay for holding on till they actually got the figures in or there was some way to "lock-in" first dibs on the figures you were Kickstarting. I only got 3. (Nurse and 2 NVA's) And I'm still interested but now that I've seen stuff like the grenade launcher I want that and some of the weapons as well. They have always done me well. - unlike fucking Hellz Screamerz.
>>11143393 At one point BBTS was clearence-ing Space Prisoners and I got two. I do wish I had grabbed an Engeneer as well.
>>11143708They were clearancing those because the Space Prisoner is a flawed figure, prone to easy breakage. That kept me away many times when it was cheap, even if the design is cool.
>>11143659What does "from China" mean? They're not on Aliexpress as far as I know, so are you somehow getting these from Taobao or Tmall or something with a forwarder at THOSE prices? The owner was selling them directly via email as well, but the shipping costs were ridiculous so I declined. So I'm pretty sure that's not what you mean. Give up your secrets man, PGV is cool but it's not $65 cool.
>>11144047It's a shame that PGV stuff is so expensive to get, when it first launched they were 30ish like most other import 1:18 stuff. But I don't think the dude can keep up with the demands of full retail or something because his second wave of stuff just doubled in price. I agree they're great figures, but at $40 max.

>>11144335Forgot the goddamn picture
Does anyone have the beastbox radioheadar? Or any BB close to its size? I just wonder how does it scale with 1:18.
>>11144335weird, it never returned any results for me when I looked. thanks anyhow.
>>11123816My 'tism is that I love diorama but there is so little diorama parts and pieces available for 1/18, Im talking about huge buildings and sets. You have to scratch build everything yourself.The only useable stuff we have are maybe the TVC sets and haslabs (thank god for that).Whereas its easily available for lego, everyday I think about switching scales. The lego DND is amazing! beautiful set plus amazing blind bag characters.All we have is BFS and they have amazing hits but also A LOT that have left much to be desired.For example a bard and they choose to go with that design? It looks more like a fantasy take on zorro than a bard.
>>11146179what about the mecha depot stuff? I believe Acid Rain also includes random worldbuilding stuff in certain releases, like props and items you can use in-world.
