Pre-ordered April and I hope she fits in.
>the new local store carried wave 1 of the final factionI was afraid that they are only going to get wave 1. But they have these in shop in small quantities. I guess they are just waiting for the shelf warming W1 stuff to clear up a bit before getting proper restock. I know they were trying, but the aliens are much cooler. I can't wait for the 2 non-humanoid aliens and the turrets guys
Got the Joytoy Shredder. He's alright. The articulation is pretty limited
Having had some success with Resione Tough 74 resin, I'm considering doing some 3D printable 1/18 figures. Gonna start with Halo CE (as in, specifically CE as there's very few figures from it) and TF2, but any other ideas would be welcome.
>>11280528 God I wish they were in Leafland.
is there a good alternative to the acid rain figures with a similar aesthetic that aren't stupidly expensive?
>>11281625Joytoy
>>11279625Hey, my photo! Nice.
>>11281625The Joytoy "Battle for the Stars" and "Infinity" are probably the closest you get to the aesthetic.
>>11282027>>11279625These gals look great! Pretty tempting to get. I reckon they're a limited release?
>>11282388Ailinna store on aliexpress has some available.
>>11279625based dinosaur chad
>>11282579>Ailinna storeAh, just Ada Wong and Regina Dino Crisis. Shame.
>>11280533Im really liking the JT turtle line. I highly recommend Rocksteady and Bepop. They are my favorite figures so far. They have better articulation than the 4 turtles too which suprised me. Im still waiting on Shredder to arrive.

>>11282819 I hope you are ordering April. Also I kind of like the idea of the Mousers mixing with the Roboskulls.
>>11282996I got her and master Splinter pre-ordered. Shredder is on the way and hopefully i can take some pics of Rocksteady and Bebop today. >Also I kind of like the idea of the Mousers mixing with the Roboskulls.That is a good idea.
>>11282586Huh? No, there's a bunch of PGV figures?https://www.aliexpress.com/store/911142098/pages/all-items.html?productGroupId=10000003675955&spm=a2g0o.store_pc_home.pcShopHead_6000355498570.1_9_0&storeId=911142098&sortType=bestmatch_sort&shop_sortType=bestmatch_sort
>>11283042Must be a region thing and doesn't ship to us.
>>11283023Hey can you post a pic of a turtle next to a common 1:18, such as Hasbro's stuff? If u also collect space Marines by joytoy, that would also work.Please and thank you
>>11283102Well that sucks shit. Lt Cave has some but only male figures at the moment - https://ltcave.com/products/general-male-figure-pmc-planet-green-valley-action-figure?variant=49738342334785
just got a delta-17 girl for xmas. i wonder if i should use her as a new character, or she makes a pretty good field uniform lady jaye...
>>11283130Just use her as is.
>>11283127I got you.
>>11283130Those delta017 o-ring figures are fantastic.
>>11283434
>>11283436
>>11283437Love the detail on these guys. That knee brace is just crazy cool touch.
>>11283441
>>11283443
>>11283429Ah, perfect! Thanks my dude.
>>11283130The girl is either Lady Jaye or an October Guard
>>11283437The sculpts and paint apps for Beebop and rocksteady are excellent.
>>11283553they make an october guard lady too, but i did not buy her (yet)
I personally dont like the design of Rocksteady that much, but Bebop is awesome.
>>11283619I like both but Bebop is definitely the coolest out of the 2. BTW I want to give everyone a heads up, I found this Loyal Subjects Krang on sale for $23 and free shipping at Maceys right after Christmas. It's still up but price has gone up to $29.99.I think it goes well will the JT turtles.
>>11283128>>Lt Cave has some but only male figures at the momentHere's the deal. When PGV started making males they were just as detailed and well made as the women. However, as previously mentioned >>11264205 they're starting to skimp out on paint and details.First round of males came in either combat shirts or t-shirts. The latest round come with tank tops. I wanted to get one with a white tank top but got sent a guy in a blue one and he looks so cheap compared to previous releases. No weathering, the paint feels cheap, the figure doesn't feel as sturdy. I was about to give up on the line because it lost the superior quality that justified the price but he came with a new vest that made it possible to make something I've always wanted. Just a normal ass grunt, but with a PGV body.
>>11283725>>Just a normal ass grunt, but with a PGV body
>>11280533That's a cool lizard on the back
>>11283726 Looks a lot like the 2010 Dusty.
>>11283441>>11283434 >>11283437That looks cheap as fuck, the way they didn't bother to paint the inside of the mouth.Looks like an incomplete model kit.
>>11282819I've never been a big TMNT fan, but the I liked the look of Shredder so I decided to grab him. The Rocksteady and Bepop do look good, especially in the pictures you posted, I might have to grab them as well. DO you think it's worth grabbing the Turtles for someone who isn't really into the franchise?>>11284007Al is probably one of my favorite dinosaur figures ever.
>>11282819>>11282868neat backdrops.does anyone make things like soda bottles/soda cups or food, like pizza slices for this size?>>11283429what line is the far left all black paint dude, I assume some solider so presumably a Joe?
>>11284220>so presumably a Joe?Cobra Shock Trooper from the G.I. Joe Pursuit of Cobra line
>>11284217I would skip the turtles then. Not worth it if you are not a fan of TMNT. Bebop is a great figure though. He is just oozing with attitude. Rocksteady is great as well just not as good. >>11284220>soda, food, cups etc.Yes you can find this stuff from various lines. Its one of the great features of this scale. you can find playsets, vehicles mounts and tons of accessories. The turtles themselves come with pizza slices. The other anon is correct. Shock Troopers, some of Cobra's best troop builders. They come with a ton of weapons and accessories.
>>11284395
>>11284220
>>11284162? Other than the mouth being unpainted it looks great man. Dunno what you're smoking
>>11284448He's probably the schizo Joytoys hater who is always sperging out in the 40k general
>>11284535Am not.
>>11284395Where are the knights from?
>>11284578Look like Boss Fight Studios Knights of Accord, with a great helm I'm not familiar with.
>>11284448I said the unpainted mouths makes it look cheapo.They missed an important step and it looks unfinished because of that.i don't know why you think I'm saying anything else.If you want me to expound on my view, the fact that it's a stylized version of Bebop and Rocksteady, the unfinished paint makes them look even more bootleg because of that.
>>11284638You can just close it, you know?
>>11284535He is that shizo. sounds just like him. Has no idea what he is talking about. At this scale, those type of details are not noticeable unless you take high detailed zoomed in pictures and even then you have to be a total shizo to notice them.
>>11284701It's still incomplete and that's pretty shitty if you need to hide it when it has a working feature like that.>>11284701There's at least half a dozen photos in this thread that have toys with open mouths and all of them managed to paint the inside of the mouth.Companies like Hasbro and Mattel are putting in the bare minimum effort, yet they'er able to paint the inside of the mouths. If someone can't do the bare minimum, it looks bad.Stop making up shitty excuses.
>>11284578all the older version boss fight studio knights. There are new ones but they seem to be a miss with the core buyers. The great helm is the jousting kit on thier website. If you want one i recommend general bah-sak on BBTS, has nice accessories and a newer thigh swivel or the gold leonidas has the upgrade too.
>>11284901You are correct sir and i agree, the older knight is superior to the new one. The bah-sak knight from BBTS is a great repaint of the original knight.
>>11284649What coffee shop set is that? Looks great.
>>11280533Thoughts on Baroness? I went ahead and ordered her and Spirit. Still waiting on them to arrive. I just dont like most of the classified designs.
>>11284975
>>11284975The wall with the door is from the Star Wars cantina but the rest is Rolife, you find a lot on aliexpress for example. Very neat with lots of accessories, already ordered another one.Picrel is another one from last thread
>>11284613It's the Mighty Steeds Knight Accord Jousting upgrade kit
>>11285003Thanks man. I just checked them out and they have some neat sets. There is a magic shop set that looks cool.
>>11285009Cool cool
>>11284981>Thoughts on Baroness?She's good. My first ever Hiya 1:18 scale figure and I really like her. She's got a solid range of articulation and her joints don't feel super fragile. I've got Spirit and Croc Master on pre-order and I'm looking at maybe picking up a couple of others in the line on gundamnit.https://www.gundamit.com/search/?Keyword=hiya
>>11285060There are actually 2. I just did a quick image out of preview pics so they are a little small but you get the idea
STOP POSTING COOL PICS, THEY'RE MAKING ME WANT TO COLLECT 1/18 SCALE. I CAN'T AFFORD TO START ANOTHER COLLECTION.
>>11285355She actually arrived yesterday. I like her except her crotch. it gives me diaper vibes. I like the rest of the figure. I'm tempted to see if I can modify her crotch or swap it out with another figure with a more esthetic one. also they gave her no ass. lolI'm now tempted to get a few more. that Destro is looking good. SE and Storm Shadow looked like ass to me so those are a definite pass. I see they are are also releasing Zarana. The original modern release of Zarana is soo good it will be hard to beat.
>>11285715NEVER!lol. I hear ya man. Collecting can be a slippery slope. You can just visit and check out the pics folks post and then walk away.
>>11283725To my earlier point, left is the newest PVG male next to a previous release with the same head sculpt. It looks damn near bootleg and I'm afraid PGV will lose quality as it scales as a company the way ARW did. >>11284220>>11284234The Pursuit of Cobra line is literally peak GI Joe. The sculpts, accessories, realism, and fidelity to characters while being retailed everywhere. The Cobra Shock Trooper is like top 3 of all time. >>11285943Back before IG and Google images just showing you the product image from an online store I'd just search for figures and wind up taking in hours of pics like these from forums and the like and I've lost track of how many figures I've bought specifically because someone made it look fun to play with while taking cool photos.
>>11285962>The Pursuit of Cobra line is literally peak GI Joe. The sculpts, accessories, realism, and fidelity to characters while being retailed everywhere. The Cobra Shock Trooper is like top 3 of all time.All of this.
>>11286030Yup.
>>11285962>The Pursuit of Cobra line is literally peak GI Joe. The sculpts, accessories, realism, and fidelity to characters while being retailed everywhere.
>>11286061Here's my personal pics for the 3 best: https://www.yojoe.com/action/11/lowlight8.shtmlhttps://www.yojoe.com/action/11/snakeeyes54.shtmlhttps://www.yojoe.com/action/11/shocktrooper.shtml
>>11285962I'm not seeing it, there's a bit less paint but it's nothing to get mad about. The skin actually looks better without the wash IMO, which looks too heavy on the old one.
>>11285962>>11286174I can very much see the difference in paint, but I feel it's a bit more of a mixed bag. The pants and clothes on the painted one do look way better, but I agree the skin on the unpainted one comes off more natural. Mainly the face on the less painted one looks better imo, sharper details and less fuzz and gunk messing it up. I can see the worry of quality in this line going down as production and circulation increases though. But I doubt it'll ever be bad enough to really drop the line entirely. I kind of only cherry pick these figures anyway since, despite how nice they are, they are fairly generic figures. But that generic design is probably one of their biggest strengths moreso then any kind of complaint.
>Christmas over >New store display >They even out up a new section for toy and fill it with figures next to the front>Check the old spot- still the same shitsPlease stop stocking wave 1 stuff please
>>11285962The shading is too heavy on the old figure imho.
>>11284985what's skelefriend from?
>>11286061I LOVE IT
>>11287005Bossfight Studios
>>11286061Love POC.
>>11287081>>11286061>>11286076For me it's the Steel Brigade
>>11286174>>11286777Maybe I prefer the previous way of doing things because I like Acid Rain but in hand they're miles apart. The new ones looking cleaner makes them seem out of place next to older ones and they have a noticeably softer plastic which is a big part of why they feel like bootlegs rather than a new wave. The weathering on the older ones add to their realism in my opinion. However, the weathering on the male's skin is somewhat unique. The females only weathered clothing and gear, not skin.
>>11285355>>11285932I've trimmed down the crotch area overlay so she can sit and kneel properly, swapped her hands out for some H.A.C.K.S spares I had (had to trim the pin down). Might sand a groove on the sides of the upper torso so the arms can sit flusher to the body. But I rather like this figure, and I want more.
Ai stupidity
>>11288016Leave that gator alone bitch, he's vegetarian.
>>11288016this will make dio videos and comics pretty awesome soon
New Joytoy Battle for the Stars figures are up
>>11289782Holy shit, NCR ranger vibes at bottom right.
>>11279625So if I wanted some DnD esque fantasy figures, my best bet would be Vitruvian Hacks right? Are there other lesser known ones?
didn't bbts have the jt tmnt line at one point? you guys ordering from aliexpress like the joytoy figures? i think i'm going to go down that line if the quality is as good as the 40k stuff. seemed sturdy and durable.
>>11290670I dont remember seeing them in BBTS. LTCave and Aliexpress have them. I have the turtles, shredder, bebop and rocksteady and they feel pretty sturdy. I posed them quite a bit to take pictures. IF I noticed a joint felt tight, I gave it a hot water bath to loosen them up.
>>11290670I forgot to mention, the turtles have a ball socket for their lower waist and I have had that pop out when trying to get their ab crunch. You just have to pop it back in place. So that is annoying when it happens.
>>11291011they definitely were. i wonder why they cancelled.>>11291014that doesn't seem like a big issue. i've had that happen with other figures. do you perhaps know what causes that? socket too small or wrongly shaped?
>>11290588 Honestly buy them through a third party if possible. they rape you on the shipping.
>>11291291Haven't decided on the purchase yet, but just checking and $12 doesnt seem too bad. I'm in California.
been thinking about getting into 1/18, the smallest figures i have are the jazwares sonic 3" figuresis marvel universe a good start?
>>11289782Those are fucking awesome
>>11291318Most are great, but a lot of them are outdated with articulation that was just okay even back in the day. Later waves improved on that articulation quite a bit.I think they did a really good job on body types, so even when they did reuse shit, it still looked appropriate for the character.And a word of warning, the last year for the MU line was rather shit. The last couple of waves were missing torso, ankle, and even wrist articulation. Some might not have even had thigh swivels. They even just painted on detail that should have been sculpted. Budget as fuck. So if you want figures from pic, you have to be a big fan of the characters to waste your money on them.Also, look into the first Hasbro Marvel movie toylines: Wolverine Origins, Iron Man 2, Captain America, and Thor. These were 1:18 and had bigger budgets than the MU toyline, so they had more articulation (first) and more unique sculpts.By the time the Avengers movie toyline came out, they were trying to move away from 1:18 figures. That's when they started to cut out articulation for all their 1:18 toys, but they were still better articulated than the last MU waves. They featured some cool designs, like Ultimate Hawkeye and... uhh... that's probably it. Not really a fan of movie designs.
Since when did LTCave charge for shipping? I'm placing an order for the new JoyToy stuff and it's going to be $9 for shipping when all the orders I've made with them before it was always free. It even says "Free Worldwide Shipping" on the top of their page.
>>11291318>>11291354What this anon said. When the MU figures weren't getting fucked by budget constraints they had some killer figures.
