A thread for any 1/18 scale toys.
Welcome to the 1:18th general. All 1:18th scale lines are welcome including larger scales that may work with 1:18th. Post pics of your latest purchases, dios, customs and whatever else you feel like posting. We encourage mixing lines.

Ordered the Acid Rain Ankylo from amiami as they had the best price. Got raped for postage from Japan now I've just received a demand for import duty, VAT and processing fees that effectively doubles the cost.
>>11163819I understand what this is parodying but Astartes have no sex drive, they are sterilized and brainwashed upon induction
Gotta say, Joytoy's Suit figures from the recent army builder releases are great. They need better heads but that's easy enough.
>>11163819I wish Planet Green Valley bare bodies were easier to get a hold of.
>>11163869Rookie mistake
>>11163819>in scale these women are about 7 foot tallHoly Emprah
>>11163893Those are simply a pair of heretics they’re about to burn in a massive fire.
>>11164407if you look at their faces and poses they look confused and irritated, like they have no idea what they're looking at.
>>11164403I think JoyToy did the right thing in not making the SMs huge. they are just big enough to look imposing next to other 1:18 figures but not look ridiculous. I have a few of the Primarchs and they just look out of place next to 1:18 figures even other SMs. WH40K scale can be ridiculous at times and doesn't translate well in toy form.on a separate note, anybody else disappointed with the new joe O-ring figures? they have no fucking detail.
These may be closer to 1:20, but looks like DigAction are really going to expand on their HnK line.
>>11164616kenshiro is already out.
>>11164025Ailinna store on Aliexpress often have them.
>>11164121Nice. Where's the clothing from?
>>11164403Those are first wave figures from three years ago. Scale creep has seen them shoot up in size.
>>11164593They look pretty detailed to me
>>11164616>>11164618These look amazing, but according to their listings everywhere, they/re 1/24 scale.Still, amazing detail and paint for their size. I would have loved to have bought the mad max mooks if they were 1:18 or even 1/20.Any reviews for them?
>>11165016Ooh, so like Hexa Gear/No.57 size. That's very small. Stuff at this scale is impressive just cause it's so tiny, but frankly it's not as enjoyable as 1/18 to me usually. The only time I prefer 1/124 is when it's used to facilitate huge vehicles, which to be fair. Hexa Gear sometimes does.
Thanks for starting the thread. I was away from my PC for a few days since the last one got archived and then got bogged down with work and kept forgetting to start one
>>11165016There are a few japanese reviews online. They really are tiny.https://ameblo.jp/chochoreena/entry-12868331323.htmlI've only ordered one of each for now, but if they go on sale I plan to army build the Zeed gang and get some vehicles like pic rel. Making a sand pit dio would be fun.
>>11164593>anybody else disappointed with the new joe O-ring figures? they have no fucking detail.can't really expect anything more detailed from Super7. They're another one of the companies that fetishized old toys for Boomers and GenXers. I tried out their Godzilla figures and they mostly suck. I've got a bunch of the Hiya Joes on Preorder and never bothered with Super7's retro stuff.
>>11163869oof, that blows, dude. Importing from Japan seems worth it at first because of how weak the yen is compared to the dollar, but in the end it almost always ends up costing as much as if not more than if you just went through the normal channels because shipping has been so damn expensive since Covid.
>>11164593>$20 for basic bitch o ringinto the trash it goes.
>>11165804I always like seeing pictures at this location
>>11164123I think I met her before.
>>11163819What's the deal with Marvel Infinite Series? Is it just Marvel Universe under another name?
>>11168997It's a sub-line name like Fury Files.It's basically when they started to dumb down the engineering. So expect to see missing ankles, torso, and other missing articulation that was making fans angry. So new figures like this didn't have the thigh swivel and wrists. Plus, check out the missing detail, like the bracelets that should be sculpted, instead of painted on. They were still reusing the old bodies too, but was becoming less common.Hasbro was purposely sabotaging the line to get collectors into buying the more expensive MLs.
>>11163869Ah, the ol customs gamble. You win some, you lose some, brother.
>>11169668that figure looks really thin. Like it looks like they just used a spiderman body and put a coat on it.
I love the aesthetic of the acid rain stuff but man those fuckers are expensive.
>>11170272They're also just not my favorite in-hand. Like the range, the way the joints feel and move, etc. They have these sort of gummy feeling ratchets that remind me of Hasbro a bit. They still LOOK absolutely amazing, but I think I'm starting to get a little disillusioned paying so much for figures I'm not 100% happy with.
>>11170242it's a super hero proportion, but yeah, it looks a bit too tall.It's what happens when you start fitting heads on different bodies. You have a generic body and a character who's supposed to have a different looking body still needs a head that would fit on that body to look like the character, thus looks weird.Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. so Cyclop sand Daredevil here are closely matched. Bullseye? Not so much, but it doesn't look bad.
damn he looks good
>>11170592Perfection
>>11170592As if the 2002 influence wasn't strong enough. Looks great.
>>11169668Oh. That explains why they're still so cheap. Thanks for answering.
>>11170592Yea he does. I like the 2 Foot Clan also. I wonder how far they plan on taking this line. I imagine Splinter and April will be coming next.
>>11172230Looks very last ronin, would have preferred a more classic look but it's fine
>>11172230I thought they were going for a 2003 series look, but this guy looks good anyway.
>>11164121Britney's looking good
Is there anywhere I can buy the Joytoy Germans without them costing an arm and a leg? They used to be cheaper but now only scalpers have them
>>11164593They should be honest about them being 1:20 instead of 1:18.
My camera's zoom motor is fucked. Taking it into the shop but it's 2 years passed the warranty. I re-shot these with a parachute which might be better.
>>11179305Where did you get an Astronaut Obama? I want one
>>11179325 Fresh Monkey Fiction Space Force. I got two in the kickstarter and should have gotten more. They honestly don't have a lot left and you can't get replacement helmets.(mine are hazy from internal scuffing.) I would buy more myself - particularly a black and white ver - like Major Matt Maison.
>>11179325 Punches out Xenos - doesn't afraid of anything.
>>11179316isn't the motor in the lens? Can't you just buy a new lens? I imagine that might be cheaper than servicing the camera outside the warranty window unless you have a $800+ lens or something.
I've been buying the Zuru Mini Brands 'Home' series, and generally the scaling works ok for 1/18 figures.Also excuse my lighting, I need to find a better solution for it.
>>11180225 I need the drive replaced. Which means sending it back for an estimate. if it's less than 400 I'll consider it. The closest thing to what I'm using now is about 1k. My camera is 10 years old and any that I can find for sale are going for $60 less than what I paid then.
>>11180391 or (focused on Lambert)
New PGV females with jet packs at Wonderfest Shanghai.
Some Joytoy dioramas too.
>>11180656It's sad, but I can't really bring myself to care about this line anymore. Prices too high, too hard to obtain. I really like the one figure I own, but I got it for like $30 back when they were offered at BBTS, and I think that was a fair price. I think it's time to stop hoping the distribution or pricing might improve. It's never going to happen, time to move on.
>>11180725You can get them on Ailinna and either Cooltooysclub or LTcave when they're released for about that price. You have to be quick though.
>>11180656she'll get awfully cold flying around like that.
The Dime Novel Legends cavalry figures are back in stock
>>11181685did they have aviators back in the old west?
Im trying to make a custom figure of a Markov regiment solider (left) and I need to replace the insignia on the cap and the epaulettes. Does anyone know someone I can submit a request for insignia? I posted this in a previous thread, got the answer but forgot to screencap—there was some guy who took requests and you have to send him a concrete picture of what he’s making
>>11179929"ugh.. alright dear hop on".
>>11182205 honestly ya. sort of a resigned bored sigh just before the "tongue" punches a hole in his skull. I have a bunch of head but would love a new body to put them on.
Does anyone own her? Are the wrist joints as ugly in person as on the picture?
>>11182288They look like the standard ones - but not pushed fully in.
>>11182288>>11182606Correct. The joint is just not pushed in all they way. This is how it looks like pushed in all the way. I dont have this specific figure but have several based on this body and can confirm.
Taking a break
>>11164995nta, but they look ever so slightly more lanard: the corps-eyCould be the plastic quality/pigment density/opacity too though. But some texture goes a long way.
>>11179305wtf, obama is in space now?
>>11181916Nope, they werent invented until the 30s
>>11183323Saw them at my local Target. Covergirl and SE looked super cheap. SE legs and arms looked like straws. Just terrible. The BAT and CC looke ok. I picked up the BAT and CC. I dont like the paintscheme on the BAT so im going to repaint him like the OG.
>>11183324 Anyone with a lick of common sense would be. - also according to /x remote viewers have seen him on Mars.
>>11183588No one asked for your life story dude.
>>11180725Same. Nice to look at but with all the bs it's who cares and move on for me.
Has anyone picked up the Schleich dino temple set?
>>11184048I got it for my kid. It's pretty fun
>>11184048did not know this was a thing. I might pick it up
>>11184048100% recomend it, looks even better if you dry brush it
>>11181916its a homage to wild billyo joe!!!
New Boris Ping figures up for pre-order at Ailinna.com.
>>11187215>>11187278N I C E
>>11187215This is not bad per se, but it doesn't look quite right for some reason. Oh well, not like there are a lot of other Regina figs out there to choose from.Also, her bodysuit is supposed to have a turtleneck, it's kind of weird looking how her entire neck is just painted grey.
>>11187496>>Also, her bodysuit is supposed to have a turtleneck, it's kind of weird looking how her entire neck is just painted grey.That's because it can be reused for a regular top and bare skin for another figure's release.
>>11187497Ah, makes sense. Also explains why her arm-sleeves are just cheaply painted on with no sculpted edge to them.
>>11187496yeah the transition from flesh to grey on her arm is very rough, like they gave up painting the figure halfway through. What's this figure a rip-off of anyway?
>>11188085Regina from Dino Crisis 1 & 2
>>11187215Really nice head-sculpt for this figure, the other one less so.
>>11187278>>11187488Very hot, very nice. How much does each one cost?
Love these little fuckers, great quality as usual from joytoy.Cant wait for all the other friend and foe characters to come out...hopefully.
>>11190721I just got mine and they are freaking fantastic! Very fun figures and they fit right in with my other 1:18 figures. Im going to pull out my sewer playset and the spawn alley playset and take some pics. I think some of Cobra's army builders like the shock troopers will make great adversaries for these guys.
>>11187488Instant pre-order. Got 2 sets of each but will probably get a few more once they are released. I liked the original releases and i ended up with like 4-5 of each figure. Regina will make a great base for a custom sexy Scarlett. Attached is a prototype Boris showed at some point as well as a female scuba diver. I hope he releases these as well.
>>11187278Im guessing this is what the figure looks like underneath the dress.
>>11187215>>11187278>>11187488Oh shit, I wanna get these. Especially Regina
>>11187215This is probably a dumb question, but just in case... this is a regular action figure, right?Asking because the "Pre-Assembly KITS for 1:18 scale action figure" thing sounds weird.
>>11190938yes, you don't have to build them yourself.
>>11190767I hope he has a v2 of the body, the first wave were great for the price but the limbs were frail, the knees bent forwards and one of mine had an arm locked at the elbow.
>>11190721They don't have ankle or calf swivels though, right? That's kind of a turnoff to me these days, makes dynamic leg poses look bad.
>>11190952They LOOK frail even in the pic. That foot and shin look so thin I think I could snap them without trying. Wanted a Regina for a long time, but idk about this.
>>11187215>>11187278nice. getting both. hopefully they will include all their accessories unlike the claire redfield one i got
>>11191179for the price you may as well.
>>11191175Dude these are 1:18th scale. You would be hard pressed to find 1:18 figures with ankle rockers and swivels same with thigh swivels AND calf swivels.
>>11191711I've been collecting 1/18 on and off for about 15 years now, and yeah, some companies don't do it, but the better ones do, and that's typically what I aim for these days. Joytoy is usually one of the good ones, so I'm a little surprised to see that they fumbled here. It would have been so easy to hide a swivel in those bandages too.
>>11191779I have a collection of 200+ JoyToy figures and i dont recall any of them having a calf swivel. Can you tell me what JT figure has a calf swivel? I also have 50+ annex/acid rain figures. Same deal. I dont recall any of them having a calf swivel. I collect hiya, SW TVC, boss fight, marauder, chicken fried toys and cant recall many or any of those having a calf swivel. I have some marvel universe figures that have the calf swivel and honestly it looks like shit at this scale especially the females.
>>11190649Dude
>>11192090Almost all of my 80-odd Warhammer ones do, by merit of their feet being balljoints, which gives you a built-in swivel. Even the ones that use traditional swivel hinge ankles (like the Sisters of Battle) have a swivel at the top of the joint, which accomplishes the same thing as a calf swivel.I'm not saying all figures do it. Like I don't think any of my Acid Rain ones have it. But it's an important joint and I don't think many people realize that. Generally, I find that poselets tend not to understand the importance of calf/thigh swivels, and say they could be axed. This is often due to them never having experienced good ones (like those nigh-useless 5 degree thigh wiggle joints McFarlane uses), and some people simply cannot pose their figures well, and don't understand what goes into a good pose.
