>>11154665why'd they stop making d-arts pokemon figures? i wouldnt mind a groudon, rayquaza, snorlax, gyarados, aerodactyl, magmar, kabutops
>>11154676Sales weren't good. Making the giant Pikachu and a Mega Blaziken were stupid decisions. Almost all the figures you mention have other decent figure available. Jazwares for Rayquaza, Gyarados, Aerodactyl and maybe Magmar. Tomy for Snorlax even tho its a little small. Groudon has that big vinyl one from Tomy or Jakks too.
>>11154676>why'd they stop making d-arts pokemon figures?everything they released except charizard and blastoise were shit
>>11154695rayquaza looks pretty good. not a fan of the body having pre-posed sections though.>>11154708mewtwo was good
>>11154695>Making Mega Blaziken were stupid decisions.No. I blame Tomy USA for not making a regular Blaziken instead
>>11154717I thought the curved sections on Ray were a fair way to do it especially for aesthetics. The alternative would've been to have an additional cut at each curve to sort of straighten it out a bit more but it wouldn't have looked as good.
>>11154695The irony is I have all of them and the Mega Blaziken is honestly probably the best figure of the bunch.
Just hoping now we'll get selects/epics of all final evos.
>>11154676I guess the Pokémon Co just doesn’t really like premium action figures (especially when there’s a chance they won’t do well due to their own poor character choices) and really prefers to produce blind boxes and plushies.
Anyone knows if there's a good Raichu figure that isnt the shitty jazzware one?Been seeking one to go along with moncolle Pikachu
>>11155032Is there not a Moncolle Raichu? I’m sure there is. Maybe a there’s a gashapon figure that would do. Or this goofy Tomy Alolan Raichu.
>>11155032In scale? Not really, no.
>>11154676>why'd they stop making d-arts pokemon figuresMost Pokemon designs don't lend themselves to high articulated figures. The Jakks figures are actually very serviceable (for the most part) while being very affordable. D-Arts figures are pointless unless it's a humanoid Pokemon like Blaziken, Machamp, Meowscarada or something like that.>>11154708>everything they released except charizard and blastoise were shitMega Blaziken is easily the best figures in the line. Charizard is undersized and has a shitty head sculpt and tail articulation.>>11154717>mewtwo was goodMewtwo was fragile as hell and also had shitty tail poseability.Anyway, I ordered picrel from Amazon for 60 bucks (30 for the figure, 29 to ship from the UK). I have a feelings I'll never see it in stores, like Metagross. Actually. I've only ever seen Epic Battle Lugia in stores. For whatever reason, stores never carry these.
>>11155032I guess this Raichu is about 8CM, so it depends on how big the pikachu you have is.
>>11155071>Mewtwo was fragile as hellMine's sturdy though? Unless you mean the SHF.I got the D-Arts.
>>11155071I wish they would make a highly articulated Tyrantrum the size of the HC rex
trying to build a small display with Nendoroid Ash, recommendations for figures? So far, I got Nendoroid Pikachu, Jazwares Charizard and Heracross. Given it’s his Gen 1/2 outfit, I’d like to limit the Pokémon to those gens.
>>11155115Tomy Johto starters, Larvitar and Phanpy, coin bank snorlax, 1/20 aliexpress muk, jazwares squirtle and bulbasaur. No good noctowl tho
>>11155088>Mine's sturdy though? Unless you mean the SHF.>I got the D-Arts.I got the D-arts too. The tail piece falls off if I look at it wrong, and if I try to move the hands/fingers around, they fall apart.>>11155101>wish they would make a highly articulated Tyrantrum the size of the HC rexThat'll sadly never happen. Nice dream though.
>>11155328Had mine since it got released and never had issues with mewtwo. Maybe you got a dud
>>11155384I got mine second hand 9 years ago, so maybe you're right.
are there legit versions of these "transforming" toys? i can't find results in japanese or boxes written in any language other than chinese
>>11155474Would explain it, but also Bandai being Bandai
>>11155791They are officially licensed. Same with all Funism figures.
I just want a really poseable groudon, that can do poses like this. is it so much to ask?
>>11155791Like the other guy says, they're legit, just only sold in specific asian markets so they don't need text in other languages on them
>>11156047The model kit can do about half of that. Arms can move, not sure the neck range, but the mouth can open and close.
MY KOTOBUKIYA DAWN AND GBA MAY FINALLY ARRIVED TODAY AAAAAA THE $284 WAS WORTH IT
>>11155969>>11156153No fucking way I always thought they were bootlegs
>>11155791Been seeing a fair amount of the Asia region stuff being used as prizes at local crane game places. I recall seeing a lot of Pokemon brick built stuff too that wasn't Mega.
>>11156322I've become a Chinese shill. Look at the quality of this $20 blind box figure. They've textured the rock, snow, ice, and mist for Glaceon's base. Funism puts rement to Shane.
The full fig
>>11152317Is there a possibility of Jazzwares re-releasing Raikou, or is that it? Same for Suicune?
>>11156703Possibly. But they basically just came out. You should just get them now. It could be years before they re-release them if at all. The only re released 6" figures have been Charizard and Rayquaza and Rayquaza originally came out like two years ago.
>>11156696>>11156698Shame it's wasted on the worst eeveelution design
>>11156322>>11155791seconding this. These were all over Taipei, or at least 3 stores, that one shopping place, and even sold at the airport. If that doesn't indicate official, I give up. I have Greninja and it does as expected
>>11156720Bait, but sadly true.The only people who like Glaceon and aren’t 12 year-old girls are coomers who headcanon personification onto it because of the Hatsune Miku hair. It doesn’t look like it could exist as a wild animal in-universe, which is the same problem I have with Sylveon. The Pokedex says it can freeze its fur like quils, which would be a cool detail if it was communicated anywhere in it’s design or shown anywhere in canon
>>11156155but the legs also splay out like some cowboy pose in the statue
>>11156713Thanks anon! Oh, that is why the Raquaza had 'Series 2' on its back. I thought the entire wave was re-released and I missed out.
Would the best and biggest Silvally be Moncolle EX? I’d like it to look decent next to figma.
>>11157097LOL no. Even the Moncolle EX figures are only like 3-4" tall. It'll be nothing like the scale in the pic or how big it should actually be
>>11157108Damn, that sucks. I like this big robodog.
>>11157112Only options are to get a custom one or hope that Jazwares makes one since they've been doing lots of Alola pokemon lately
>>11156047small indie company prease understandu and look forward to charizard figure no. 2745
>>11157679The Pokemon Company itself doesn't even make 95% of the merchandise that is made so what is your point?
>>11156766>Bait, but sadly true.It's really not meant as bait. The only design element on Glaceon that communicates its typing is its color. Make it pink and it could just as easily be the Fairy Eeveelution. It's literally just a dog with a human haircut, which is why it's popular with the dogfucking furfaggots who ruined /vp/ and basically no one else.Flareon is covered in warm fur, Jolteon's hair is standing on end, Vaporeon has literal fins. Espeon resembles a yokai and has a "third eye." Umbreon is more reliant on its coloration but it lights up in the dark. I'm not a fan of Sylveon of Leafeon either but they at least have apropos designs, even if uninspired ones.I don't know, it was probably an unnecessarily fractious thing to say unprompted but the wasted potential on Glaceon really annoys me. Crossgen evos are always hit or miss.
>>11157699They’re apparently a nightmare to work with because everything has to go through them and they can get really fucking strange about characters and designs, what gets released and when, ghost for ages etc.
>>11157116I’ll put my hopes on Jazwares, ty anon. I’m not quite dedicated enough to my alola display to pay for a custom (yet).
>>11155071>Charizard is undersized and has a shitty head sculpt and tail articulationt. jazwares poorfag sour graping
>>11157708 Jazwares wins in scale and price point, but the D-arts wins in sculpting and material quality. Perfect charizard never ever
>>11157716I also prefer Jazwares proportions. D-Arts is more elegantly engineered, naturally.
>>11157716so why dont they make d arts style figures for a franchise that rakes in dough? no way that typhlosion and feraligator dont sell
>>11157716Best case would be a marriage of the two. Jazwares size and plastic quality, matte finish of the D-Arts, and joints cut in the same shape like the D-Arts. The Jazwares knees are super ugly looking but I do prefer their tail with less segmentation.
>>11157781>so why dont they make d arts style figures for a franchise that rakes in dough?Sales were bad so they stopped the line. Doesn't help they made dumb choices like Mega Blaziken instead of a regular one and a big Pikachu nobody wanted. Jazwares made a Typhlosion and even though it's hideous, that's probably the best one we'll ever get.
We need Selects of these two.
>>11157877Totally deserving. Blaziken and Swampert too. We're at the point where the most obvious Kanto pokemon and most of the mythicals pairs and tries have been made so every single wave should have at least one super cool pick from here on out. I hope that rumor of a Trevenant someone on discord found evidence of eventually comes out!
>>11155791Oooh I have Lunala from this line, its great!I will pick up Snorlax and Gengar for sure!
>>11157716>Jazwares wins in scaleThere is no "scale" outside of scale world, pretending otherwise is a massive cope.
>>11158224Agreed. But Scale World is still dead scale because it scales with nothing but itself
>>11158228it doesn't need to scale with anything other than itself because unlike cuckwares, chad world has massive variety.
>>11158255And that's why Scale World is Fail World because it fits with nothing else
>>11157708>jazwares poorfag sour grapingWrong. I own the D Arts Charizard, retard.
>>11157716jazwares head sculpt is better, but the eyes look like shitty stickers
>>11158440Bandai Charizard looks so fucked. Their Venusaur is a baller though.
Is there any large figures of this fucker at all? Or at least something close to the Epic Battle Lugia's size?
>>11158518Nope. Plamo is the biggest but it's still a ton smaller than the epic Lugia fig
>>11158255>Statue shit that scales to nothingImagine wasting space on this shit as an adult.
>>11158554most of the articulation on jazwares slop is useless
>>11157903Trevenant is one of those Pokemon I'd never think of on a want list but if its something that gets made I'd buy it. A ghost tree would be fun for photos.
>>11158557Not really. It works really well on their charizard. It also looks way better. Articulation is better on the Bandai figure but I wouldn't say it outways how ugly it is.
>>11158224It looks nice with the majority of Jazwares figures and action figures and props etc, instead of only with itself, which is good.
Bandaid needs to try again with Charizard, Monster Arts. The D Arts is bad. Serviceable for the time, looks real bad now.
>>11158666how can it look real bad now if it hasnt been surpassed
>>11158450>Their Venusaur is a baller though.It's a solid sculpt, but it should be at least 3 times larger. Also, thr ball joints for the vines are insanely tiny, and one snapped while just being on display. The only well made D Arts Pokemon figures are Blastoise and Mega Blaziken. The rest are fragile at one point or another.
>>11158672It's never been that good a likeness. That it's still considered one of Charizard's best figures is sad desu.
>>11158563Yeah, I loved using him in my first xy playthrough. >>11158565The Charizard has weird arms and the wings' hinges are super visible. Jazwares articulation does too little usually but sometimes when they do more it's usually ugly. The legendary dog trio is too little though and the faces look derpy. Golisopod looks like it won't have very good arm articulation. The metagross and typhlosion require modification. A lot of the selects are amazing but Charizard ain't it.>>11157877It is interesting we got flygon, garchomp, and metagross and no salamence yet. That shodo sceptile is one of my favorite figures.
>>11158672>how can it look real bad now if it hasnt been surpassedBy that logic, any toy of a Pokemon that doesn't have any other toys is definitionally good because it's "unsurpassed." That's nonsense. Besides, the Jazwares is better.
>>11158831it isn't better. i said how can it look real bad NOW, as opposed to when it was released, if a better figure hasnt come along. it was either bad all along, or still good
>>11158831>>11158840Who the fuck cares! People have different opinions. Just like some like Scale World and some don't. The constant bickering here is so fucking annoying.
>>11158840Even if they haven't made a new and better Charizard specifically you can compare it to other modern figures and see that its not on the same level. The likeness of the Yugioh monsterarts are on a different level than what Charizard was. It looks bad "now" in the context of what figures look like now.
>>11158872>you can compare it to other modern figuresThe Darts/SHF Charizard is not at all a 'modern' figure compared to the others you mention. That thing is about 13 years old now.
>>11158872Yugioh monsters are easier because they're all covered in hard, insectile carapaces that lend themselves to easy cuts for articulation. Charizard, like many Pokemon, have a smooth, contiguous body surface that makes any cuts very obvious.
>>11158659>It looks niceNo, because it looks like cheap shit.
>>11158885That's the point the other person was making >>11158666, serviceable for the time, looks real bad now. The figure was from 13 years ago, these Yugioh figures are what's out now and they look better. The person just wants them to try again with Charizard now.
>>11158886Which is why chad world is the best for Pokemon. I'd rather have a statue Typhlosion that actually looks good and scales with everything else than this garbage>>11158891A Charizard figure made now wouldn't look any better.
>>11158886I brought up monsterarts mainly because the op mentioned them but the point is more about the likeness rather than the cuts. The D-arts Pokemon had questionable likeness their first Blastoise was missing teeth and a toe. Not sure what references they were looking at but nowadays I'm sure Pokemon wouldn't let something like that happen.
>>11158892Bad World is rule 2, therefore garbage anyway
>>11158906Jazwares really needs to Make a Trainer Select Blastoise.
>>11158949Yea for sure. I hope it gets in before Z-A potentially dictates a bunch of choices like the remaining Kalos starters and a bunch of megas.
chad world stay winning
>>11159622bad world is low-hanging expensive fruit
>>11159622Furret is way too big here>b-but the official pokedex proportions--are way too big
>>11158563I’ve just realized I want one of those dancing cactus things that wiggle around to music that looks like sudowoodo.
>>11159622I expected better poses. I was excited for these but they look they're all gonna require their stands. The ampharos is just the moncolle sculpt too. Probably has a worse paint.
Scale world would be awesome if it was done before the move to 3D. Pokemon lost its soul when it got these ugly 3D models and the fact that the scale world figures look like someone ripped a Pokemon GO model right out of the screen is terrible.
>>11159850The worst part is they're starting to fix models, so Scale World is stuck with ugly ass pre-SV Kanto starters for example.Honestly, just really fucking annoying that they use those fucking XY models for literally everything now.
>>11159850gen 5 will never be good
>>11158255>>11159622These look quite good. Which figure from each pic would have the same size as an average Tomy?
>>11159911Im not a unovabortion but even there the sprites looked infinitely better than the 3D models.
>>11158892>I would prefer a little statue over this toy that can be played with and has a mouth that opens and shuts so he can roarWhat an odd thing to say.
>>11158977>Z-A???
>>11160149Another Legends game set for next year.
>>11158255where to get gengar and butterfry
>>11160159Ah gotcha.
They're making a Mega Zard Select, imagine if we actually got a Mega Blastoise before a regular one. Or maybe they were specifically holding until Z-A to do a bunch of the stuff people having been asking for like Sceptile, Salamence, Blastoise, Blaziken who happen to also have mega relevance.
>>11159622Wow, despite Kalos being the next focus and Paldea being the last, they went straight to Jhoto for the next batch of SW. How odd, I expected some Paradoxes, Ogerpon, Terapagos or the Loyal three+Pecharunt. Guess i'll have to get some overpriced chinese bootleg for Iron-Valiant
>>11160205Tomy USA was such a great company
lmao
>>11160266Man, I always wanted a belt with pokeballs as a kid. I’m pretty sure I glued some McDonald’s toy to a belt at some point, what a fun concept.
>>11160442>all those vivillions taking up about a sixth of the linePffff Wouldn’t mind having that goomy, though.
>>11160449Do you still want one just for fun? Or are you turned off by the fact that the balls are clip ons too? Best thing id ever want was the Z-bracelet, which i have
bro you dropped this
>>11160470Kinda, but I’d want the pokeballs smaller and the belt nicer (and adult sized). I just know I’d drop clip on balls somewhere. How does the Z Bracelet look in real life?
>>11160471*crunch*
>>11160479
>>11160452The dex count for that gen was less than the others so I'm guessing they wanted to boost it up closer to 100 with all the forms.
>>11159941>>11159850>Im not a unovabortion but [blatantly untrue thing only a bort would say]You don't blend well, fella. Those tweened faux-animated gen 5 sprites are the worst the series has ever looked, and I've been here since RBY's 1-bit backsprites.>>11160266God that Kyogre looks great
>>11158255>>11158518how big is that Ho-oh?
>>11160477still fits my 40yr old wrist. here;s a comparison with the OmniLink Omnitrix
What even is the next Selects figure?
>>11161093Deoxys, I think.
I believe that they make the figures with so many flaws is so that they can sell more in the future. For example. After I custom made a 1/12 posable mewtwo with swappable heads. I don't want any figure which is worse than the one I own now.
>>11161111Neat. What different parts did you use?
>>11158892You're so right. Jazwares' joints and gadgets are sometimes so obnoxious, so much they negatively affect the figure's appearance. Worst of all, some of the lame articulations are often unnecessary and poorly handled.Pokémon products from Jazwares are also of rather poor quality.Glue marks and scratches on the plastic are not uncommon. The impression of the eyes or paintwork is sometimes wobbly. Some people's main argument here is to talk about the joints so you can play with them. Let's be honest, joints are not compulsory for playing, and the quality of Jazwares is so questionable that if you leave a Select to a child, it'll end up broken after a year. It's fragile.An XY model will always be more pleasing to the eye than a toy covered in unsightly joints and gadgets.I can hear that Scale World is expensive, or that they put transparent bases on everything and anything, because they don't manage the balance of their figure correctly. These two points are real.But on the quality, aesthetics and durability of the product, it destroys Jazwares.
Was the selects Dragapult only ever an american exclusive? I don't think I ever saw it anywhere, which sucks because it looked great.Do the Dreepy detach from it, does anyone know?
>>11161203No. I got him in the Netherlands.There is no child firing action.
>>11161148Corporate AI wrote thisSo many shills here seem like they are paid advertisers
>>11161093Golisopod, Zeraora and Ceruledge should be coming out in the next month or two. Deoxys and Mega Charizard are a ways off
>>11161148I don't collect pokemon exclusively, I want my figures to at least have some sort of compatibility with other characters. Scale world its fine but its a deadend collection where you put your little statues in a shelf and thats it, like collecting porcelain figurines.
>>11161366>Hummels for Pokemon millenials
>>11161325I'm not an AI, much less a paid advertiser. You live in denial, anon.
>>11160146>I would prefer a thing that looks good over this dogshit that doesn't look goodcorrect>>11161148based and truthpilled
Theres a reason why Scaleworld fags rarely post stuff here other than the occasional shelf photo, they cant do anything else. 0% play
>>11161612Nooo but my perfectly scaled overpriced statues!! They look so perfect when I leave them standing static on my shelf to gather dust.
>>11161612>Theres a reason why Scaleworld fags rarely post stuff hereBecause this general is made up of poorfags?
Hmm...I really thought this guy would be bigger...
>>11161644Its the same height as the other previous tallest ones - Rillaboom and Dragonite
No amount of shilling will make the murrican brand good
>>11161670Yea, but I saw a few leaks saying it was 16 inches tall. Guess that was bullshit. It's still a good figure, but I was hoping it'd be a bit bigger considering it's a T-Rex.
>>11161686Nobody has ever said that and if you believed it, that's on you. How the hell could it be that big if its the same box size as all the previous figures and you can see exactly how big it looks in the box?
>>11161716Geez dude, relax. I only have one other epic battle figure and have literally never even seen another one since my city sucks at stocking figures. I'm not shitting on the figure, it's good. But I saw on a random YouTube video that it was 16 inches. No need to be so defensive about it.
>>11161644Looks awesome. Never really used tyrantrum so I didn't buy it but it's a great design.>>11161716Too much screen time for you Mrs. Mod
>>11161673No amount of seething will make the American brand bad.YWNBAJ
>>11161644More of the size I expected Tyrunt to be, but still looks surprisingly good with Red.
>>11161612Are you aware that Bandai's Scale World isn't made of resin? It's plastic that a child can handle, and it's perfectly possible to play with it. Your statue logic only applies to unofficial resin products from Chinese studios.Select figurines are so poorly made that even a careful child can damage them over the months without the slightest exaggeration.I have a Rayquaza Select, and I handle it with moderation. I realize that even if it's not the most fragile model in this series, handling it too much is not a good thing. Especially as I'm about 25, so I don't feel the need to play with it like a kid.We're on a forum, where the majority of participants come from the West, especially Americans and Brits. Most of them are content with the easy-to-access, cheap products available in supermarkets or toy stores. When someone publishes something other than your Jazware products, you either ignore it or get bitter.Scale World is expensive, not to mention more difficult to import into these countries. Of course you can't get easily on a budget you can afford for you.It's like going to Japanese forums, Western products aren't glorified, it's not a trend.
>>11161612Isn't that the point ? To keep them as decoration ? The idea to actually buy figures to play with them never occured to me. (not taking into account my childhood)
Im going to asume you fuckers are just some tourists taking the word "play" literally as in being a retard kid smashing the figures against each other lol. Ever heard of posing? Toy photography? Making crossover stuff, stopmotion?Is not like sw cant be used for other than just shelf posting and pricefaggotry but I've never seen a single sw poster with the slightest amount of creativity lol
>>11162057Think best out of it I've seen are photos like picrel
>open thread>"Gardevoir">0 results >Close thread
>>11161977>Scale World shill has created a boogeyman to explain everyone who likes what he doesn't likeWe're approaching NECAfag levels of derangement.
>>11159622Where is Kris?
>>11161686The person probably said or meant to say 16cm which is what it looks to be.
>>11161112Shf for the body. Extra head and enlonged tail. Hand and legs jazeware selects. Still work in progress. If these companies can't make one. I'll make one myself.
>>11158258Who fucking cares? That's all it needs to scale with. I don't see people posting their Jazwares crap with Optimus Prime or Goku, do you?
>>11159650XL Furret
>>11162057Your rudeness and shortcuts reflect your narrow-mindedness.I'd like to think that after a certain age, you've assimilated the idea that one can play without necessarily smashing them with violence, I hope?Don't make me believe that it's not possible to take pretty pictures with jointless figures, or to do stop-motion with them. Admittedly, the possibilities are a little less, but it's more than feasible. Am I also to believe that everyone does stop-motion or photography with pretty effects? It seems to me that most people collect for fun and make quick photos to show off.I say that, but I laugh out loud at the dubious aesthetics of super-articulated figures like Typhlosion, which aren't properly articulated. It's a bad joke to ruin the look of a figurine for such ridiculous possibilities. Even stop-motion and poses don't save it, lmao.And no, not all your Pokémon figures are articulated.
>>11162230Yes someone posted Metagross with Yoko last thread.
>>11162264Let's be honest, those who do use human characters from anime. This phenomenon is mainly due to the fact that Jazwares doesn't offer trainers close to the expected scales in its product ranges.
>>11162295I wouldn't say that's entirely true. People that wanna stay within Pokemon have Red or Gloria that works with pretty much everything. People using characters like Yoko or a Goku is just a fun "what if this character had a team" kind of thing that you can do with toys. There's the person here that posts with the blue background often with Mario and other franchise stuff, same idea.
What about posting some toys
>>11162230Joke's on you. Transformers are in-scale with nothing too, but we buy them because they're great toys. Not because we have a plastic pokedex to complete
>>11162561>but we buy them because they're great toyslike chad world
>>11161644I'll take what I can get. I've been this close to buying those 1/10 statues on aliexpress...if it HAD one. Tyrantrum was my wishlist during the Tomy USA days
>>11162563Bad world are still just over-priced mini statues. Jazwares sells bigger jointed toys for cheap.
>>11162262This. I personally prefer looking at pictures of jointless figure than those with the average toys full of joints.
>>11162563>>11162570Can you all just shut the fuck up. Every single thread devolves into non stop people whining about Scale World vs. Jazwares. Let people like what they like.
>>11162600How dare you support the wrong thing. Bad World is rule 2
>>11162570We understand that you prefer cheap toys packed with defects and unsightly gadgets, because you're too poor and frustrated not to have a Scale World collection.>>11162561Honestly, I don't think Jazwares will be able to complete the Pokédex. Even Bandai Kids can't do it anymore, despite having over 870 different species to their credit. Yet they have releases every 3 months, and on average, they produce more new species than other companies over a given period of time.
>>11162609If I wanted to spend more money on anything, it would have to be worth its weight and height. I bought 1/10 Nidoking for $40 because Fail World sold a small one for the same price. Fail World isn't even useful as a supplemental line
The fact Jazwares do not have one color 151 Pokemon figurines as "mystery packs" is so baffling. This would sell like hotcakes.
>>11162633Buying a figurine for $40 =/= buying an entire collection with each character at that price, or even more. Come on, let's say it's not supposed to be a problem for you.That means your problem is just obsession with anything that comes close to your 1/12 scale. Even mediocre things seem good or acceptable to you, as long as that criterion seems to be met.No wonder some people here are bitter, spitting all the time at SW, Moncolle and other series that aren't 1/12 lmao.
>>11162666Imagine people having different opinions and liking different things. Can you even imagine??? People like you are the reason nobody comes here to discuss Pokemon figures anymore. They're all going other places where news and pics actually get posted all the time.
>>11162676Repeat this instead, to those who constantly denigrate all ranges that aren't 1/12 as soon as a publication takes place, they're the ones who have killed diversity. I'm just playing into the hands of some idiots, to confuse them.
>>11162666Why should I pay $40 for a Fail World pack just to get a mon I don't even need? Also moncolle can be 1/12, just not for every mon
>>11162698You can say “Fail World” as much as you want. That won't make it true, we just feel your frustration that the products aren't 1/12. So many legendaries, Paradoxes, Mega Evolutions, starters that you won't have for a very long time, if ever on your 1/12 scale. A level of quality, which you will very rarely have on your products
You are giving too much attention to the aspie, the idiot thinks people are playing teams or something lol
>>11162714Yeah, nothing beats the satisfaction of getting universal scaled, playable and good quality mon toys between the sporadic wait and awful distribution for cheap. All while Fail World is just so easy to collect that they charge you a lot just because it's convenient
>>11162719Tbf, that shorto/chad world anon started all the animosity.
>>11162727Good quality? You're funny, you have the standards of a fast-food customer ahah.Just the picture with Wobboffet above shows the series' problems, even though it's not even the worst example of all you can take. The plastic is covered in marks and blemishes. The arm joints are useless in this pose. The paintwork isn't too shabby on this model, but it's no mean feat. Use your eyes.>>11162865There are several different people commenting, and not all the posts come from me. At first, I simply gave my opinion without the slightest animosity with constructive posts to give my opinion. I've been the target of insults and gratuitous attacks that had no reason to be.I'm just seen as the “problem” by those like you who support Jazwares, because I had the "insolence" to say something about the lack of aesthetics of the joints and gadgets, or the fact that these joints are poorly made because they don't allow the figure to articulate properly. Not to mention the possible traces of glue, scratches and marks in the plastic, the fragility of certain models, the sometimes insulting impression of the paintwork, or your 1/12 scale, respected one time out of 3 at their whim. Don't reverse the roles.
>>11163011They're just going to pretend they didn't attack first. Just ignore them, like i ignore all their shilling in every thread.Thanks for making me discover a new line, anyway.
>>11163085What did he make you discover ? Scale world is often talked about here.
>>11163150I've only been lurking for the past few months and i never noticed it within this period of time
>>11163011>Good quality? You're funny, you have the standards of a fast-food customer ahah.What a defensive answer against toys that don't break easily and paint apps that are barely a problem. Go ahead and smush your Fail Worlds in storage or throw them at the wall and see if they're any more susceptible
>>11162565Yea, Tyrantrum is a favorite of mine since the design is so good. I used one in my initial playthrough of X, and it's been all love ever since. I never thought he'd get a figure at all, so even though I'm not thrilled about the size, I'm pretty ecstatic about the figure. And it looks decent with some of my other dinosaur figures. I guess it's the anime proportions that are throwing me off a bit.>>11162194>The person probably said or meant to say 16cm which is what it looks to be.You're probably right. The guy claiming it was 16 inches was foreign.
>>11163334Happen to have a 4" humanoid figure to compare it to?
>>11162463I love this>>11162633Where can I buy this???
>>11163286Given your attitude during conversation, you shouldn't be surprised that I'm defensive. Don't bury your head in the sand, it's not credible. Do I have to remind you how they weren't able to print the eyes correctly on figures like Lucario Select, Mudkip, Piplup and so on?The quality of the paintwork is so variable and weak that people need transparent packaging and look at all the copies of a model on the shelf to choose the least worst of the lot. This is a recurring scenario here, or on the Discord, and it only happens because of questionable quality and, unfortunately, these are not isolated cases.Make me believe that among all the Select articulated models, there aren't any fragile ones, especially in certain places. Either you live in denial, or you don't really consume what you defend.
>>11163335Pretty sure the old JP Himans are 4 inches, right?
>>11154665mixing pure ACBA tangible effects with digital effects is disgusting, you should feel ashamed!
Anyway
>>11163621I love that figure. The next wave of the 6" was all found in Mexico. Someone on discord also found a packaged pic of Quaquaval from the next 4" wave
The others in the wave are old. Alakazam, Electivire, Arcanine
>>11163626
>>11163627Good to see some more gen 9, but I've no interest in non simple 4.5" Pokemon with basic but good articulation.
>>11163626>>11163627Sometimes the Pokemon chose for the Selects line make no sense. Like, sure we get things like Dragapult with barely any useful articulation. But a humanoid starter pokemon? Nah, let's make that a shitty 4.5 inch figure.
>>11163530Guess it scales alright with that.
>>11163650While Dragapult would make a great 4.5" with the launching Dreepy, though it'd be way out of scale.
>>11163625Oh man, gotta watch the stores again.
>>11163663The Selects figures don't even scale with each other. Zeraora is 4'11 and Golisoppd is over 6 feet tall, yet they're the same height in the Selects line. The Pokemon don't seem to be chosen for scale purposes.
>>11163626Surprising to see this before Meow since we have the middle stage already. I'd imagine its not far off.
>>11163650I don't mind in this case that it got "banished" to a 4.5 figure cause he's not that popular. It would've been another Samurott and take the place of something that would've been more desirable. But I do think the gen 9 mascots should've got Selects before any other gen 9 Pokemon, seems like something that should be a given.
>>11163707The box legends as well. Since the 6" line is prob their only place to ever get made.
>>11163707With Meowscarada the plamo should scale fine like Cinderace. I fear a Select would be another Lucario.Skeledirge would probably work. He'd probably be picrel-size minus the tail if 4.5" otherwise.
>>11163730I honestly think the Epic Battle line is good for box legends since they're usually really big.
>>11163739They wouldn't get enough articulation and they wouldn't do only one, or use up the epic figure for two years in a row for those
>>11163736They will do Skeledirge in the epic line and package it like Venusaur where it was laying down against the back side of the box
>>11163626I've never met anyone who likes this thing.
>>11163766Which is weird, because Meowscarada is even worse designed. I wonder what made gayduck a bridge too far for the average furfag.
>>11163779People like her because she’s a flower cat lady and I think a main Pokemon in the current anime. More of a pleasing concept than fabulous party duck for many, I guess?
Paldea's Pokedex is progressing slowly but surely. With ZA not yet having any information, and the next generation still a long way off, there's a potential risk of having a complete Pokédex as before
>>11163807>Pokemon KidsGross. They all look so ugly and squished.
I want a pupitar
>>11163807Anyone here have a big collection of these? My main pokemon toys as a kid were these and the Tomy figures. I'd mix them together tried getting whatever unique Pokemon I could between the two lines.
>>11163855Seems like there is a small chance for a 3" figure as long as they figure out some kind of articulation like eyes or something.
>>11163859Oh man i had that metapod. Pokemon sold the rights to Jazwares and the quality went to absoulte fucking dogshit. The worst painjobs iv ever seen. Tomyfigures are goat.
>>11163900>only a zoophile can tolerate itAs expected.
>>11163927That doesn't negate the fact that you were wrong, though. Quaquaval does indeed have it's fans. I'm pretty sure all starters, no matter how shit thr design, has fans.
>>11163650>>11163680>no Select Blaziken>no Select Scizor>somehow get both Lucario and Toxitricity
>>11164010Blaziken has been a long rumor after the listing was found in the original wave 2 or 3 listings, and Scizor was just recently seen in some foreign site's product info page for one of this wave's figures. There is still hope for them coming out we think
>>11163766You're joking right? Sexiest pokemon in the current gen. I love him. He can shake that big ass in my face.
>>11163766I remember the huge amount of seethe around the game launch and eveyone saw that final evo after loving the 1st form
>furfaggotryi fucking hate this fanbase sometimes
>>11163357You wrote all that and expected me to read it. Way to waste your time defending dead scale bad world
>>11163627fuck, i dont even have Inteleon>>11163859i do. and i blog about it too
>>11163859I have some of them, I really like the quality of the vinyl. Some of them even look as "normal" as a moncolle
>>11164276For once, chungusfurry, we're on the same page.
>>11163859
>>11163859As I recall, Kanto, Johto, Hoenn, Sinnoh, Unova and Kalos have Pokédex complete with this range of figures.Alola, Galar and Paldea are incomplete. But Paldea is still in the process of being published.
>>11164366These are goofy, but if I was a kid I’d be really happy with the massive range of Pokemon these have.
>>11164386It's the only large range that Pokemon has managed to keep. Another advantage is that these products come at a very low price, are very durable and easy to store. For the low price, the quality is more than adequate.It's not my main collection, this one I have in parallel for fun and the pure collection aspect.
>>11164391I only have Galarian Corsola but I can’t really fault the quality and paint on it for a kids finger puppet thing that cost about £1.50.
>>11164345Really impressive collection. I never owned any of the trainers.>>11164366Nice display setup. I guess Klefki had to be done that way in this style without gaps.I had some that were translucent which I didn't like as much as the regular ones. I'm guessing others feel the same way.
>>11164655Like you, I didn't appreciate the transparent figures. But the classics are really interesting, currently they've made 882 out of 1025 species.
>>11164681Kids are almost as bad as Fail World and moncolle due to their selection and scale respectively, but their own pros are price, sold in singles, and some scale just right
>>11164753Aren't you tired of denigrating everything that isn't 1/12 like a disrespectful idiot? What's worse is that Pokemon Kids has better paint and plastic than the little Jazwares. Even though they cost approximately £1.50.You also dare to criticize the selection of Pokémon Kids, when they have more diversity than any other Pokémon toy series. It's as if you were jealous.
>>11164764Fail World and Kids are the lowest hanging fruit of Pokemon toys. Moncolles are too, but their selectiveness with new mons has been progressively limited since gen 3, and they also were responsible for setting the 1/12 standard especially since being around since gen 1
>>11164811I collect everything (Jazwares, Kids, Moncolle, Banpresto, Scale World, Tomy US, etc.) and not 4-5 of a series for a scale reason like you.I'm very familiar with the overall strengths and weaknesses of products and series. When I read you, I see that you're spouting a number of things that are completely false.When Scale World stops producing certain sets, scarcity and prices explode over time. This makes them difficult to access, and the only way to calm this phenomenon is for them to put them back on sale. The majority of Kids remain affordable, but not all models. There's even a “Premium Bandai Kalos” series that's impossible to find, and costs several thousand dollars. The “1/12 standard” is not really a standard at all. At least, it is for those who are obsessed with it. It's clearly not representative of all Pokémon collectors worldwide.
>>11164811Bandai Kids' famous “wrong selection” (part 1)Green = availableRed = does not exist
>>11164835Bandai Kids' famous “wrong selection” (part 2)Green = availableRed = does not existA huge selection you'll never get even 10 years from now. You definitely haven't mastered your subject.
>>11164826That's the problem with Fail World and Kids. They release many of the mons we need in a single wave, but neither scale nor articulation is considered. Which means if they do release anything just for a need, it activates the "but thuh only wun" mentality of consooming. When Jakks, Tomy or Jazwares releases anything, it's often in a sea of useless other things. But then we get the cherries that are Tyrantrum, Garchomp, Mega Banette, Ash-Greninja, Machamp, Boltund, Breloom, Flygon, etc in sizes and articulation that matter the most.>tl;drwhen others make toys, they just churn out whatever in whatever size they wantwhen Jakks, Tomy, Jazwares, there's actual thought and effort in the products they make
>>11164862I think you are jealous and frustrated with other manufacturers' releases. You would like to have the same in your collection, but which meet YOUR PERSONAL criteria. However, this is not a valid reason to be rude to others, or unfairly denigrate their products every time they talk about them. What you are saying is not correct. All are products good for consumption and that's it.Bandai Kids just has a standardized scale, everything is the same size. They do not vary the sizes according to any whim. The hollow format does not allow for joints and that is not a bad thing. It's just different. Scale World is the only line that cares precisely about scales. Jazwares, Jakks and Tomy release random products that are 1/12 scale one in four times by chance. This is not their will, otherwise they would stick to this directive in a precise and effective way. Quaquaval is one recent proof among many older ones that they don't care that much about scale. The truth is that Jazwares manages it's size like the old Moncolle of generation 6 and 7.That is to say: small ones without joints, medium ones with joints (often evolved Pokémon or Mega-Evolutions) and large ones which included all the legendaries.
>>11164936Moncolle never had joints. Those 6/7th gen Tomy figures with joints were made for the west only and were not part of the Moncolle line.
>>11164974It's not true. Here's an example, this Mega Blastoise which has its legs and arms articulated. This is the medium-sized Moncolle I described earlier.The big legends also have basic articulations, such as raising or lowering their arms/legs or turning their heads. It all depends on the model. When Tomy US started making products. It also kept the same design as Moncolle, but larger, with an additional intermediate line. And Jazwares also followed Tomy US's pattern, except that it ended up adding Select.
>>11164999Hmm, okay, I didn't know about that. I admit I haven't bought Moncolle since gen 2. Now that I think about it I don't even remember seeing the Megas in stores.
>>11165021They released around thirty Mega Evolutions in their medium series with basic articulations. Some other Pokémon too such as Dragonite, Kalos Starter, Kanto Starter, Hoenn Starter, Mewtwo, Garchomp, Tyranitar, Naganadel, Genesect, Landorus, Thundurus, Tornadus, all Tapu, Ninetales Alolan, Zeraora, etc.
>>11165122These are bootlegs, but if you love them, you can always add them to your collection.
>>11165122Scalefags foaming and seething at that Hamurott
Went back to the Kruidvat where I got Poliwhirl, only to find these two still sitting there (They never got any more).They now had a "buy one toy, 2nd toy half-off" thing going, so I couldn't pass that up for €9 total.The stretchy Dragonball dolls they had lying around also gave me a good laugh.
>>11165136>These are bootlegsHow do you know? I think you're just jealous.
>>11165195Because I know these products and I'm describing a reality. How does preventing this make me jealous?
>>11165215What are you trying to prevent?
>>11165195>Pokemon Unite>Pokemon that aren't/weren't in Unite when this was found in the wild>Advanced Ash, on an Unite box>AI Sprigatito>A Day With Pikachu was a Funko line of Pikachu figuresBut just looking at the figs should say enough.
>>11165251And MonColle Samurott
>>11165251Okay now I know you're trolling...
>>11165235I meant to say, “How does wanting to inform her make me a jealous person?”Small translation error, my bad.
>>11165122Green Flareon, don’t see that every day. Must be the Chinese swamp gas variant.
>>11165257The troll is just the guy who got corrected in the debate above. The same guy who forces his 1/12 scales.He talked about jealousy for no apparent reason, it's probably a form of resentment. The situation has put him on edge mentally, because he had nothing concrete to reply to during the exchange.
>>11165269That's a new Pokemon called Sprigatito. There's lots of porn of her.
>>11163707It was kind of the same for gen 8, but the fact that the new gen 9 pokemon didn't get a big push in their first year, or in general really, is really fucking weird.
>>11165185Praying they eventually do a Seviper to go with Zangoose, but not holding my breath.
>>1116529890% male, actually.
>>11164936I'm jealous and you're a consoomer. Now what? You have no standards, that's what.
>>11165709I correct you: you're a jealous consumer. We all have our own criteria that justify or not the act of buying, the use we make of the product is up to us. You're no more legitimate or special than anyone else.A product is not just about 1/12 scale and joints. These are just your two personal standards, and contrary to what you think not sharing them does not make a person a stupid consumer as you are actively implying.You're so desperate to have so few products that suit you that you'll accept anything close to 1/12 scale. Even if the figurine is ruined by an excess of joints and unnecessary children's gadgets, even if the articulation is so poorly managed that it doesn't articulate properly. Even if the quality of the plastic is weak, with glue stains and various scratches, it's all good. Even if the paint is sometimes outrageously applied, you accept it. And I haven't even listed all the problemsHow can you seriously say that people who don't do what you do have no standards, when you buy the figure range with the lowest quality and highest number of errors of any official Pokémon toy manufacturer?
>>11165298
>>11165876>You're so desperate to have so few products that suit you that you'll accept anything close to 1/12 scale.I'd rather own hard to get items than be easily presented with a box of dead scale statues. I also save money, but you just have to consoom because you'll take what you can get
>>111659051/12 is a dead faggot scale
>>11165905You are definitely a lost cause. You don't listen and you continue to say the wrong things.We don't know why, you feel the need to talk about Scale World again even though the subject has passed, and you still don't understand how rarity works.
I like how the 1/12 fucker ignores all the complains about jazwares' abhorrent QC. Oh scalefag anon you are so no-consumerist with your walmart toys
>>11165876Holy fuck. Can you guys stop already? Nobody cares what lines you like or don't like.
>>11165919Then why are all the leading toylines 1/12?>>11165995>>11166069>oh yeah???!!? W-well, YOU'RE WRONG. Thank you for surrendering
>>11166205I don't feel like repeating myself on subjects that have already been debunked above. Especially as you never really argue, you spend your time asserting bullshit without ever developing it. So you get the answers you deserve.
>>11166205>Then why are all the leading toylines in wholesome 1/12 scale kino?Lego is baby shit, transformers vary in scales, hot wheels are 1/72, star wars is dead, Jurassic park is 1/24, Bakugan are 1/1, funko pops are bobble heads, squishmallows are pillows
>>11166329And again, you're kind, you could have made a list much longer than that. I'll just say that we can add to the list that Pokémon never claimed to be 1/12 scale, and that a minority of their products are 1/12 scale by pure chance (because they didn't do it voluntarily).
>>11166388>Bubbhhubut 1/12 scale is just so kino and breathtakingly awesome and wholesome and it's all the rage these days and always has been and it's just a epic display to have a smash mash up of collectible crossover figures!
>>11166431Chungus, please, control yourself.
And people wonder why nobody comes here to discuss toys or why people no longer post the new finds here.....
>>11166452Damn, America is a third world shit hole.
>>11163859I LOVE Kidsfigs. They are often well made and really cute.
I want the new shedinja so bad
>>11166458>I LOVE Kids
>>11166329>Lego is baby shit, Lego can be 1/12. Heck it can be any scale if as long as you make it fit>hot wheels are 1/72They make good toy cars for 1/12 toys then>star wars is deadyou wish, now matter how shit that whole IP is>Jurassic park is 1/24Baby/small dinos exist. Small Pokemon exist too, but a Charizard smaller than your knees has never been utilized in any media.>Bakugan are 1/1Now they're little BB-8's or something. Also wow, look at you using roleplay toys as an example>funko pops are bobble heads, squishmallows are pillowsnice straws
>>11166454Why are you projecting from your third world shithole, chungusfurry?
>>11166503Fail World Poppy when
>>11167066You'll never get it from Poorwares and its mediocre quality. Like many other good characters and Pokémon lmao
Back in your ball, anon.
I'd really enjoy a scale world set with Poppy and Tinkaton, it would go well with my Tomy arts Tinkatink.
>>11167481>>11167066I know what you degenerates want it for.
>>11167326*rapes*
do the moncolle scale at all with the jazwares battle ready toysim gonna get a tyranitar but want blaziken, rayquaza, espeon, gengar and garchomp, and can only find moncolle ones online
>>11168078For the most part, no. There are a few sizes of Moncolle but the standard size ones are all about 1.5-2" tall no matter what the Pokemon is. So a Moncolle Pikachu and a Moncolle Garchomp are the same size. A few Moncolle are larger sizes (MS or XL is what those are called I think), but even those are usually only around 3-3.5" tall so they really don't go well with Jazwares figures.
>>11168078>BlazikenNo good one yet>Ray, Espeon, GarchompGet the Jazwares 6" for Rayand Chomp, and the 3" Espeon>GengarPlamo kit is about the same size as the Jazwares one (meaning too small) but it's got some articulation
>>11167326Cracks me up that they put shorts on her.
>>11168078With MonColle, stick to smaller mons if you care about scaling.>>11168092I'll second these, + getting the gerngar plamo over JW.You get to build something easy, you'll have an extra face, can swap the tongue, and can wiggle its limbs.
>>11167481https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HhbFkKv-4cU
I just noticed 1/12 for mons dexed at 2' are either too small for moncolle/small jazwares, but Jakks makes them too big most times
>>11168205Because none of those companies are super strict about scaling. Jakks had no care at all for it, and Jazwares is super loose with it. The vast majority of their so called 2" figs end up being about 1.5" tall unless it's a pokemon that has another evolved form that can also be done as a '2" figure'. Such as Applin who was maybe like 1" tall and then their Flapple and Appletun figs that are just under 2" tall.
>>11155073>no pachurisunot yellow enough?
>>11168392>not yellow enough?Plusle and Minun aren't there either.
>>11168392>>11168438Nor Pawmot, nor Dedenne. Very sad. Those ones are me favorites.Actually, come to that, it's just Kanto and Alola all the way down. Maybe that was the theme. I mean I know Pichu is technically Johtodex, but he's a baby, and Johto is just Kanto's back yard anyway.
>>11168092>>11168189by plamo you mean model kit?
>>11168450Yep Plamo stands for Pla(stic) Mo(del)
Got my imported Tyrantrum jazwares figure, love him. Around here large Jazwares figures are either never stocked or sell out and never get restocked.I was surprised to see that Target restocked the Rayquaza Selects figure. Only negative is I wish the mouth could open and close.
>>11168589Hopefully some stores in USA get Tyrantrum too. Maybe Gamestop will again this winter like they did with Metagross last yearRay is in this current wave of selects with Golisopod, Zeraora and Ceruledge who is releasing Oct 6 at Target
>>11168112No Marnie pantsu for you.
>>11164366I want the Avalugg line so bad but they're never available anywhere. It was in some kind of special set, right?
>>11154665>pick up mega blaziken for £30>one of the best figures I own immediately Amazing balance, articulated fingers and toes, great articulation. Can’t believe this killed the D-arts line, it’s so fucking good.
>>11170478Didn't Pikachu come after Blaziken? Or was that in the SHF era. Also it's a decent figure. I personally don't think it's anything too amazing.
>>11170485Maybe, but people often seem to blame Blaziken. I think he’s great. Never really cared for the design but compared to some more modern figures he’s really impressive. The fingers all being jointed really makes me happy.
>>11170513>The fingers all being jointed really makes me happy.I can agree with that. If there turns out to be a Trevenant Select as rumored, hopefully all 3 of his big fingers will be jointed (since whoever works there clearly loves doing jointed fingers).
>>11170554Oh man, I hope so. I love that big stupid tree.
>>11170554Would've been nice if it could have made it for this Oct wave in time for some Halloween photos.
>>11170593Be real, he'd only be found in stores around Easter then.
>>11169442The 16 here are limited editions. These are the most difficult and expensive to obtain these days, it's an extreme that contrast with the rest of the collection, which is fairly easy to obtain and inexpensive, with the exception of a few recent ones from the last three generations such as some Ultra Beast, Mega Evolution, etc. But nothing insurmountable. But those aren't unobtainable, just a little difficult.
>>11171304Look at all these small toys of BIG pokemon. Barf
>>11170478Uhm ACKCHUALLY Mega Blaziken is S.H.Figuarts, Persona had already killed the D-Arts line by then.
>>11171311We don't all collect to have toys that respect a stupid scale that Pokemon toy manufacturers don't even bother to actively respect.Now, stop sabotaging discussions with your provocations, as soon as we talk about something other than Jazwares. We don't have fun denigrating your products every time you present them to us, yet there's a lot to be said for your products. Show some manners, please.
>>11171357you consoomers are all like "scale don't matter" but you're triggered by the fact that you're stuck with a teeny tiny Tyrantrum because it's thuh only wun
>>11171376Not really, I really like this Tyrantrum. The collection as a whole is cute, in a homogeneous style with great variety. The problem is your boring attitude. Stop the provocations at every publication, you're heavy and it drives away diversity.
>>11171390>Not really, I really like this Tyrantrum.This is what cope looks like
>>11171399You can live in denial if you like. But do it quietly without annoying anyone.
>>11171421I want big toys of big characters. You just get whatever because you have no choice
>>11171441I'd like to remind you that I have infinitely more choices than you do. Then use your brain, if I cared about scale, I'd turn to something else, which I don't because I'm happy with their products and have what I want.
>>11171449>I'd like to remind you that I have infinitely more choices than you doYeah, infinite small figures of small characters because you have no choice.
>>11171453I repeat, if I want bigger, I buy other products. In the present case I don't want anything bigger and I've never complained about it. Why invent problems where there are none?
>>11171449Honestly, If you could stop feeding him attention he would probably just fuck off like in most of the past threads
>>11171468Spoken like a consoomer that doesn't have a choice.
>>11171376Whether the sculpt looks good is more important than scale, and simple designs like Pokemon look terrible when big because the lack of detail becomes glaring.
>>11171968>but it's thuh omly wun
very very small liko...
>>11172314Imagine if they started trainer Figure-Rise kits.
>>11172315Imagine if they just made some basic ass action figures like they did a decade ago
>>11172357Modern times, unfortunately.
>>11172358Only Jada Toys can save us now by acquiring the license.
The psychological state of Scalefag who systematically complains about not having this or that product. It's become a habit ahah.
>>11172357She's an easy mod too. A little bit of this and some hobby base joints and she's ready for play
>>11172314How has it been almost 30 years and we've never gotten any half way decent Misty figure???
>>11172890Because somebody decided Brock was still a fine main character and that's why he has Jakks. Personally, I don't want Misty. I want Nessa
>>11172542If you're in to pokemon figures you need to just give up on scale because its just never going to work the way you want it to. I've got a mix of monocolle, scale world, WCT, and model kits and ultimately they all look good beside of each other even though the scaling is fucked.
>>11172993>i consoom because i have no choice
>>11173011Stop being so butthurt about what others buy.
>>11172993Leave him in his mediocrity. He boils with rage every time he sees that others are making progress in their collection, because he can't do the same. He doesn't seem to see or understand that we have different standards. And that his are no better than anyone else's. The kind of cretin who needs to convince himself that we consume because we have no choice to calm his frustration, when in fact we choose what we like and are satisfied overall.
>>11172993Technically, Scale World stands on its own as far as scaling is concerned. The concern is just that it's a fairly young product line compared to the others, so it's still missing some important Pokémon. With time, this will no longer be too noticeable. For all the other collections, actively worrying about the scale means missing out on 80% of the products. Manufacturers don't care about 1/12.And yes, a scale that isn't 100% faithful, where everything isn't perfect and still fits together well, isn't a bad thing. I find that some Pokémon have bullshit official dimensions. I'm still baffled that Infernape is so small compared to other evolved Pokémon. Even though I understand it's a monkey.
>>11173011
>>11172890Because she hasn't been relevant in almost 30 years.
Not usually a /toy/ guy, but I want a very nice Red figure to display in my office. What should I get, friends?
>>11174151If by 'figure' you mean statue, you've got a couple Kotobukiya options but they're a few years old and will run you $200-350. The only non stylized figure is the Figma one and that's also very expensive now, probably the same price as those statues. The cheapest option is the Scale World figure which is static and about 2" tall. You can probably find one for under $20 shipped.
>>11174151The Nendoroid is the only other option. That's a 3-4" tall chibi style figure with an oversized head. It'll probably run you about $100-125
>>11174186Thanks, anon...the Red/Green/Mew set looks pretty sweet.
Idk if this is gonna send twice as I thought I already posted this, but are Golisopod and Tyrantrum widely available yet? I’ve seen some people with Tyrantrum so idk if I missed out on him. Also any idea where to look for them? Walmart? Target?
>>11175654The 6" are all Target exclusives in the US. Except for Charizard which is restocked at Walmart in the TCG section sometimes, and some other from the first wave that are hitting Ross stores now. Golisopod has no US release date yet but we assume it'll be Oct sometime.Tyrantrum has been out in Europe and South America for a few months but has no US release yet. It may show up at Gamestop closer to the holidays like Metagross did last year but we just don't know.
>>11175654>Legs are not balljointed
>>11175816They are if you look at the loose pics. There probably isn't much range but the joints are there
>>11176365Why bother having joints if they don't have range. might as well just make a statue at this point. I swear the 6" line of figures is such a waist, they have so much potential to make super articulated figures but just don't. The only figure I'm actually hyped for is Deoxys...
>>11167066>Scale World PoppyDo you realize how small that shit will be?
>>11177166if your pic is the scale, then that'd be acceptable
>>11177166That pic made me laugh, thanks anon.
>>11177140I'd rather have the sometimes crappy Jazzwares joints than nothing at all. But if you're hoping Deoxys will have better hips you better think again because those things look like they'll barely move. that's how any articulated Deoxys would be tho. Those hip fins will block almost any kind of joint.
>>11177166If I don't mind the size of Smoliv or Pikachu, I don't think Poppy would be a problem.
>>11177569I'm mostly referring to the fact that Deoxys has the bendy arms going for him, so even if the hips dont move much, you can still get decent poses out of him id assume. The legendary beasts, Ttar, Garchomp, and Golisopod all have joints that SHOULD articulate better, but they dontAnd we can have better joints. need I always bring up how, despite being candy toys, SHODO Pokemon articulate far better then jazzwares?
>>11177781>I always bring up how, despite being candy toys, SHODO Pokemon articulate far better then jazzwares?Sure, but they look like absolute shit compared to the overall sculpts of the Jazzwares figures. Whatever people are doing the articulation at Jazzwares are definitely not good and not improving after all these figures, but the Shodo figures don't have good looking figure overall.
>>11175654So excited for it! Have any Canadians seen any of this wave showing up at EB yet?
>>11177781>SHORTO Pokemon articulate far better
All this noise for an articulated range that does not know how to articulate correctly and which harms the aesthetics of the product. Not to mention the disastrous quality control and dismal distribution managed by interns.
>>11177913Both are just ugly at this point.
Here's this month's checklist update. These are the recent releases from this month:-Amazon US has the Greninja pearly Evo 3-pack, new 4.5" 4-pack, 2-pack with Snorlax, 3-pack with Electivire, some of the 8" Vinyl Vave 2, and some of the 4" Vinyl Wave 2-Target's 6" Ceruledge pre-order is sold out but it should be in stores Oct 6th-Clip n Go Wave 19 and Battle Pack Wave 19 (Floragato, Litleo) are hitting Target stores-US Walmart site has 3-pack Wave 23 (Butterfree, Eeveelutions, Litleo, Flapple, etc) and the Enviroment Set Wave 5 (Magnemite, Shellder, and Eevee/Turtwig sets)-Gamestop has the Gyarados statue-This year's Xmas Wave was found at an HEB-Almost all Amazon sites aside from the US one have the 6-figure multi pack with Shuckle-Mexico has the entire 6" Select Wave 8 (Ceruledge, Golisopod, Zeraora) already too
The Wiki site's front page has also been updated with a visual to quickly scroll through the most recent releases without clicking through to all the pages. On the desktop site, the right side column also has a dated list with the updates/links to retailer website pages where available
>>11178292we never even got the entei wave. i’m not sure if we’ll end up getting the golisopod wave unfortunately. jazwares distribution has been really shit this year. the only new products we’ve gotten are the environment sets.
>>11178684Sprig x Snorlax... Who plans these bundles.
>>11178757Oh, good. Poorwares aren't considered statues then
Saw this at Universal City Walk. A well-stocked shelf of pokemon items, which i thought was beautiful, unlike the quality of my photo
>>11178760That's not what's implied hehe
>>11178781Fail World are statues
>>11178770Hollywood or Orlando? Hollywood already has Nintendo World so that would make more sense. But I'll be cool to see both parks get more Pokemon items as they keep having Nintendo-related success
>>11178681Thank you! I like seeing these each month. But it also reminds me just how many figure I've had to pay an arm and a leg for
>>11178807Hollywood. Also they were $13 each
>>11178798I will translate for the idiot who thinks that that the absence of articulation is a defect. While it's better not to have one if it's to do ugly shit
>>11178837Fail World is still worse than Jazwares. what a waste of time
>>11178986Scale World doesn't even have 1/3 of Jazwares' aforementioned shortcomings. Be honest with yourself.Then it's funny to note that a good proportion of Jazwares products are quite close to 1/20 scale. Only Select and Epic are significantly larger. Provided you don't count Solgaleo, Lunala, Gyarados, Lugia and Rayquaza, which fit nicely on 1/20.
can we shut up about scale world v. jazzwares already so we don't lose another week of you two idiots arguing back and forth?
>>11179012Its the autistic blue background guy vs another aspie. They wont stop
>>11178347SHODO Tyranitar has a waist swivel and a wider mouth, it's tail is also more curved and has a wider gap for it to swoosh back and forth.Jazzwares has no waist swivel for some unholy reason, has a barely opening mouth and tail, while having more joints, can only move up and down and barely side to side>>11178583I will take more articulation over accuracy. so what if it has a shit ton of lines and cuts? as long as it still somewhat resembles the figure in the end.
>>11179030>i still consoomed shorto because thuh only wun
>>11178709Weirdly is seems like my TRU got more stock of the Dragapult Typhlosion wave randomly. Not sure what's going on with them. Hopefully they get some good stuff by the holidays.
>>11179121In the states, we have the first wave showing up at discount stores in large numbers. Like they reproduced it again after all this time. Weird here too.
>>11179006I know the Gyarados is close to 1/20 scale, same for Rayquaza (the scale world one is messed up anyway, they made it too small), but I highly doubt Lugia and the other legendaries are.
>>11179205It's not messed up, it's denial. Even many 4.5” figures are close to 1/20. To cite Pokemon such as Arcanine, Snorlax, Blaziken, Flygon, Pongoro, Bewear, Mewtwo, Quaquaval, Inteleon, Aerodactyl, Lapras and so on. The truth is, you have very few large models. 1/12 is such a desperate scale, you'll never get figures measuring 11.81 inches for big, important Pokémon like Groudon, Zekrom, Lunala, Zacian, Lugia and so on. And for Pokémon of more moderate size, it's Russian roulette with Select.Only at Jazwares do fans constantly complain about their products in so many different ways. Whether it's about the joke-like distribution, the lousy quality control that forces you to look at all the models on the shelf to pick the one with the fewest defects, a large number of useless joints because it's not very well articulated, incessant complaints about the scale because the sizes don't fit. Not to mention crying because lots of the Pokemon you love don't have figures.With a reality like this, it's not even “figure” that's the best way to describe it, but rather “cheap toy”.
>>11179205Lunala is approximately 7.87 inches tall. The measurement is made from the top of the wing to the tip of the tail without a base. It's totally 1/20.It's the same for Solgaleo who reaches around 6 inches with the top of his mane. Which is still 1/20.Lugia is a bit smaller than 1/20, but it's pretty close.
Everybody having news with exciting future launches and pokemon its just like wait for the past wave to appear at waltmart bro
>>11179480When I said "messed up" I was referring to the Rayquaza figure made by scale world. I would rather take the plamo or select over this small thing.But yeah they're kinda cheap.>>11179485Pretty sure the Lunala and Solgaleo figure aren't big enough for a 1/20 scale.
>>11179943Scale World's Rayquaza is one of their rare failures. But all the rest are not really failures.
>>11179943Knowing that feathers are not taken into account in the size of Koraidon's Pokédex. It's perfectly to scale
>>11180040Wish they reissued Solgaleo.
>>11180109No, the Tomy one was great and had way more articulation while being the same size. The Jazwares one is so sad in comparison.
>>11180111Tomy's dead tho
>>11180123And the Jazwares one is many years old and just as hard to find basically. What's your point? If you're gonna spend much more than MSRP on the secondary market, you may as well get the better one.
>>11180111I think Tomy's has better joints. But the Jazwares one is better proportioned, which makes it more aesthetic.In the end, the choice mainly comes down to whether you prefer a more beautiful appearance or better joints imo
>>11180040I swear to god if Jazwares doesn't make Koraidon and Miraidon.............
>>11180258It won't be the first major legendaries they dodge. Then there's a good chance the scale won't be right.
>>11180280Thats the thing. Until Jazwares not making the Galar legendaries, every single company that had the license made the legendaries. This would be a stupid trend to start
>>11180258figma ex:ride pokemon wen
>>11180299For Zacian and Zamazenta, it's even worse. There are NO large substitutes, the largest being Moncolle. They're very good, but lack a larger size. At least Koraidon and Miraidon have a large enough alternative with SW
>>11180040
>>11180409Pokémon Home's Koraidon measurements are inaccurate and make no sense. This is simply an ILCA error, and it's not the only one in this case, there are plenty. Arrange the Pokedex in descending order and gradually work your way down you'll see many errors.Consider this:Koraidon and Miraidon are the same size when in their race mode. Yet the Pokédex shows very different values in their battle form.The truth is that Miraidon is measured like a snake (from the tip of its tail to its nose), which justifies its name Paradox. Where Koraidon is measured like a biped. If Miraidon stood on two legs, the top of his skull would be the same height as Koraidon's (without feathers).If you include feathers on Koraidon's Pokédex size, his body becomes smaller than Miraidon's, which makes no sense. Particularly as Paradoxes from the past are reputed to be larger than their species in the present, while future Paradoxes are considerably smaller.On the picture you can see :-How the Scale World figurine is measured, how they considered it (and it's correct).-How far a normal size Beartic on SV, a Pokémon that's normally slightly larger than Koraidon, can go.-Where does Beartic stop on Home compared to Koraidon, which has been incorrectly measured.-There's the two trainers for comparison and we can see that Home is wrong.Knowing that SV sizes are faithful, except for Pokémon over 3m which are reduced for practical reasons. So I repeat: Koraidon's measurements do NOT take feathers into account.
>>11179943Rayquaza really needed a better stand connection. The peg on mine just stretches the hole and he falls off.
>>11181275Can imagine. Shenron, needs multiple.
>>11181275One problem among many others on Jazwares products. We're starting to get used to it
>>11178770guess I know what I’m doing this weekend
>>11182356I hope you have $13 to waste on each
>>11182425Far cheaper than the 20-30$ is costs to buy a single pack from people on Ebay or Mercari tho
>>11182487I know one Walmart that has 3-packs in stock most of the time
