>>11537732So I saw a lot of people saying the only use for this mold will be to make future Deadpools. But that can't be done unless they are also $50. If Hasbro reuses this mold for anything but Maximum, then they undermine Maximum and people will just skip them, waiting for the mold to be used later on a cheaper figure.
>>11537734maximum isn't going to last much longer at this rate so I don't think that is a huge concern. They can make a wolverine and an iron man and thats about all people are going to pay these prices for
>>11537732>Maximum Effort>still a decade behind foreign figuresWhy is domestic US toy making always so fucking far behind? Are they too stupid to just steal the articulation schemes of the Japanese and Chinese figures that have been mogging them for nearly 15 years now?
>>11537748You seem extremely optimistic. However, when the tariffs start to be passed along to the consumers by more than just McFarlane, you'll find most toys will begin to approach $50, so you might pay $40 for a regular character, and $50 Maximum characters might be more like just a 'deluxe'.
>>11537781>start to>startIt started already. Technically we just saw the start of the price gouging during COVID when they realize they could jack prices and just never lower them again. It just is going to get worse because the fucking schitzo retard in office keeps changing numbers by the day, and businesses are going to take advantage and raise prices even more anyway.
>>11537781You are delusional if you think normal MLs being $40 means a maximum will be $50. These will go up too.
>>11537782How new are you? MLs were $16 for the longest time before they bumped them up to $20. I was getting MLs for that cheap as late as the MCU Daredevil wave I wanna say. Maybe slightly before that, I can't remember.
I DONT OWN A DEADPOOLI WILL ONLY BE BUYING ONE DEADPOOL THIS IS FOR MEI WILL BUY IT AND I WILL ENJOY IT
>>11537787Anon, I'm talking about unregulated price gouging that has been going on since COVID. Shit increases in price due to inflation and corporate greed all the time, but we haven't seen as severe increases until COVID and now we have an even bigger excuse to give companies to gouge the fuck out of everyone. How fucking retarded are you?Anyway enjoy your soon to be $40 Walmart tier ML's.
Reminder: This Maximum Deadpool originally cost $15.
>>11537809oops
>>11537799enjoy, it does look good
>>11537766Most US collectors don't like a lot of the facets of foreign figures that make them good. For example, when McFarlane adopted ball ankles and wrists, the average domestic collector complained and wanted it to look like a sculpted ankle/wrist, even though that reduces articulation. So when McFarlane Toys altered it they made it so it looks like the ankles or wrists are broken when articulated.
>>11537799Based one and done’r
>>11537806Way to expose yourself as new. Price increases like you describe have been going on since the 90s.
>>11537818>For example, when McFarlane adopted ball ankles and wrists, the average domestic collector complained and wanted it to look like a sculpted ankle/wrist, even though that reduces articulationThis is disingenuous. People didn't hate the ball joints pm they hated how big Todd made them and how shitty the detents were. If he made them more in line with how imports made them, people would be satisfied. However Todd, being Todd, took this the wrong way and made it out that people didn't like nal ankles and wrists at all, when in reality it was just his dog shit implementation of them that people disliked.
>>11537835>price increases like COVID and trade wars for no reasonJesus, you are a zoomer, aren't you?
I'm glad all the NPCs are happy with yet another Deadpool, but could us real fans get a Maximum Punisher or Mr. Fantastic with a bunch of alternate parts like picrel?
>>11537864Too many Mr Fantastics lately, Im doubtful they can do a Maximum for a few years.
>>11537734Good job, you're dumb and wrong.
>>11537839Most people don't buy imports for a reason though, because it can look worse.Personally, i stopped buying Figuars when Bandai switched over to the new hip engineering back in 2020 or 2019. Used to buy buy 1 or 3 Figuarts a year since 2010 and i haven't bought shit in 5 years. IT's super ugly and it didn't even improve the range of motion.
>>11537910No one asked you subjectanon.
>>11537883Then I'm just going to avoid Maximum and profit off the pay pigs who pay for them while I get cheap versions of the same figure.
>>11537806>Tell them they don't need 30 dolls. They can have 3.
>>11537867>Too many Mr Fantastics latelyThe last non-movie Marvel Legends Reed was released in 2022 and that was the cartoon version, the last comic version was released in 2019. Meanwhile there have been over 15 Wolverines in the past 3 years alone and I'm sure even more Spider-Men, I think they can put out one more FF wave. I'd honestly splurge for the entire team in an updated 4 pack in their made-to-order format.
>>11537799WHY ARE YOU YELLING??? IS IT BECAUSE YOU'RE GOING TO SHOVE DOOP UP YOUR URETHRA? CALM DOWN SON!
>>11537732>clown feetCheck>headie modeCheck>noodle legsCheck>flat shouldersCheckHasblo CANNOT make comic figures.
I JUSY GOT MY FUCKING PAYCHECK & THEY RAISE THE COST OF GHOST RIDER FROM $59CAD TO $99 FUCK YOU AMAZON.CA
>>11537937The 2022 ones are too recent and they don't care if its cartoon or comic. We all know Wolverine sells rings around Reed.
>>11537937Not to mention they do the absolute bear minimum for their comic Reeds by only including that crappy stretched hand piece and nothing else. It's like they want to make the most boring Mr Fantastic figure they possibly can. Mezco and Diamond Select both mogged Hasbro hard
>>11538010Exactly my point. Reed is one of the most potentially toyetic characters Marvel has and all Hasbro can muster is swappable long finger hands. At least give us a ball with a 4 on it so Thing can throw him at Annihilus or something ffs.
>>11538027They probably thought just releasing a stretchy toy of him was good enough so ML can half-ass it.
>>11537925At least he's not sniffing her amirite guys??
>>11537910Isnt that revoltech not figuarts?
>>11537732Looks great. But I have the Amazing Yamaguchi so pass. The only other Deadpool I need is this one.
>>11538043Just an example that it's more than just one line that people tend to hate the engineering found on imports.Revoltechs are probably the least liked because of the weird shit that's constantly foundFiguarts have become less popular lately, due to that shit too.
>>11538027Completely agree with you anon, long gone are the days of Toybiz actually putting effort into giving their Mr Fantastic figures swappable parts. It's why the FF movie figure was one of my favourites as a kid, they even gave him stuff that he didn't do in the movies
>>11538055I find AY has become a lot more tolerable as of the past few years, we're far past the days of spoodermin 1.0 SHF is down the absolute shitter though, their new cyclops looks terrible and they continue to use joints that look even worse than marvel legends
>>11538055That gwen looks fine aside from the unmasked gwen with a tiny face. I really wish they would release an updated version instead of making a new gwen cause im not a fan of the spiderverse version.
>>11538044>But I have the Amazing YamaguchiSo you have a crappy toy
Mondo X-Men 97 Mister Sinister
>>11538055Revos are just ugly ass toys. They got better on some but the Marvel stuff always looks clunky and bad.
>>11538167I wonder how people who collect mondo stoe all this shit, its so huge and they seem to release them quite regularly
>>11538193>Marvel stuff always looks clunky and bad.Which one? They look good appearance wise.
>>11538248Cap and Spider Man 1.0 are a little rough. And I own those. Thor is a Thorlet but that isn't just an issue with AY.
For those that are interested in this set...
Mafex Deadpool, no pre order info yet.
>>11538349Wolverine
>>11538335Looks great
>>11538349>>11538353they're already up at HLJ
Got F4 Shulkie. She goes nicely with the rest of the team. We do need some updated headscuplts for Reed and Johnny though. They're still lacking photo real and clash with the Sharon Carter head I'm using for Sue, which works better than I thought it would.
TAS styled Mysterio. Fuck yeah!
>>11538390Strong Guy deluxe. Can't tell if it's just a reissue of the BaF.
>>11537883>doesnt say whyFuck off to twitter if youre going to type less than a few words.
>>11538361That's my Sue head too. Works perfectly.
>>11538391Torso looks different
>>11538390Walmart exclusive,more info to come. >>11538391Amazon/Pulse, pre order 8/26.
>>11538390
>>11538416
>>11538417
>>11538391
>>11538420
>>11538416>Another lazy release with buckycap articulationSlop is always on the table with these guys.
>>11538431That’s cool and all but this is a cheap refresh for somebody that doesn’t have any other mysterio like me. I wish it had a wired cape and the newer articulation but that most likely happen for a few more years. This is decent enough to fill a space on my shelf until something better comes along. I don’t understand why you all bitch over entry level figures aimed at newer collectors. Gatekeeping faggots.
>>11537867>Too many Mr Fantastics latelyIndeed, but all of them are shit. They also released a shitton of Emma Frosts but no one is complaining.
>>11538422
>>11538419
>>11538471
>>11538473Man, I was initially really hyped for this but I dunno, i think I may just keep my regular Mysterio on my shelf instead. It's just more classic, even though my shelf is a mix of classic and TAS looks.
>>11538416That's awesome! Glad animated is still going.
>>11538390>>11538416Oh neat. I was actually tempted to hunt down the older release for the tentacle-skull head to repaint it in red for a custom. So this is actually perfect for me.
>>11538335Want, but refuse to renew my Pulse Membership, so if I miss out I'll stick with my older versions and stop buying upgrades entirely. In fact, I'll cancel a few pre-orders if I miss out on this one.
>>11538486This isn't a con exclusive, it won't sell out before non premium members can get it.
>>11538487>DURRRR ONLY CON EXCLUSIVES SELL OUT IN DA FIRST HOUR!Skrull army builder says otherwise
>>11538473Unpopular opinion I like mysterio having bright colors and no texture. I also like that the animated version has a belt that breaks up the bodysuit.
>>11538459She-hulk looks PERFECT in her F4 suit, while the actual core F4 look like dogshit in their matching suits.
>>11538420>>11538422I just want the barbell for She-Hulk
>>11538490I don't recall that selling out too quickly either. You guys sweat this shit way too much. Goddamn, stop being such a drama queen.
>>11538498>I don't recallIt did, you massive faggot. Your absolute ignorance is driving your responses, you're a blind fucking moron, just stfu.
>>11538494>I just want the barbell for She-HulkJust make your own, that's an incredibly easy custom.
>>11538248I really really hope they reissue iron man and war machine next, and hopefully without sticky paint
>>11538511Nah
>>11538459Not really. Bendis Emma was an impossible to find Walgreens exclusive, classic Emma was embargoed in a SDCC set that came out same year as Covid, Astonishing Emma was gimped due to her stupid cape, and less said the better about mid-00s Emma
>>11538353any info if he comes with the cowl & arms? I know it’s not likely but they can add them like they added Tony’s nano gauntlet in his first release
>>115386813 heads and two sets of hands is all that's expected. Still waiting for Medicom to unveil them officially.
>>11538587Then what about the shitton versions of Cyclops? And Magneto? C'mon man all I want is one Reed with full accessories: bending arms, torso and neck.
>>11538248I really hate their Cap. Deadpool 1.0 and Spidey 1.0 were also pretty pretty bad. I also hear bad things about Psylocke but I don't really mess with X-stuff outside of Wolverine.Recently though I have loved their Marvel output.
>>11538732
>>11538700Knowing Hasbro they will do this for the modern red suit Reed or Ultimate Reed then wonder why it didn't sell. We specifically want blue/black or blue/white John Byrne Reed.
>>11538701Cap was great. Deadpool 1.0 was also good. 1.0 Spidey was good for it's time, but has been eclipsed by the 2.0 yeah. Psylocke is fine. Wolverine is still the best Wolverine figure ever pretty much. Only was missing the stogie because of fucking Marvel.
>>11538738>We>ByrneFuck off grandpa. WE want Ultimate Reed with interchangeable Maker parts. Or Rivals skin. Not your muh le classic trash.
Dan Who has an ugly voice goddamn
>>11538754Why do you weirdos act like I should know who these fags are?
>>11538753Nobody wants anything ultimate FF related except Maker. Rivals costumes look like ass. WE just want a busty Sue with cheesecake regardless of the source.
>>11538767>Nobody wants anything ultimateFixed that for you. Shit universe.>Rivals costumes look like assNothing can fix your shit taste though.
>>11538775Cap, iron man, Peter and Thor are the only ones anybody want/wanted
I'll have to make a visual list of all the 1610 characters I want. Ultimate Thor is at the top of that list.
>>11538775Rivals designs are pure shit. People only like them because they're curvy women.
>>11538795Very curious because most are steaming shit.
>>11538700>C'mon man all I want is one Reed with full accessories: bending arms, torso and neck.
>>11538753>Not your muh le classic trash.The line is called Marvel LEGENDS, not Marvel Current Thing or Marvel Flash-in-the-Pan. They should focus on actual LEGENDS.
>>11538796I'm sorry you have chronically shit taste anon. Maybe some day you'll be able to fix it.
>>11538431that clearly has butterfly joints
>>11537910>>11538055>using old examples with engineering they stopped using years agoSo I learned anons here are slow. But understandable since Kaiyodo moved on from capeshit.
>>11538795I feel like they could get away with an Ultimate Spider-Man wave or an Ultimates wave minus Iron Man since that just came out in the Comic Book wave but thats about it. Most of the original 1610 isn't particularly memorable in a good way.
>>11538906>capeshit in a Marvel threadYou seem to be lost, friend.
>>11538947I was only intrigued anons didn't picked up on the fact they were focusing on a feature AY dropped for a while (there was the single random one in 2024 and another in 2023 to be technical). If you all were trashing on the knee spikes I wouldn't have bothered.
>>11538211I keep the box
>>11538906>>11538958Just saying, a ton of people dropped the Revoltech line long ago because of the engineering choices they made for almost a decade.And like i pointed out, the Figuarts line used to be a pretty mainstay toyline until Bandai started fucking with their engineering, and now it's getting a lot of hate and distrust.I actually find that funny, given how horrible their sculpts used to be. But for some reason, ugly engineering made their own fans revolt.
>>11538795>that picHot
>>11539014No one cares that your info is outdated.
>>11539014>ton of people dropped the Revoltech lineYet they're thriving more now>long agoand continued to live under a rock like you have perhaps>because of the engineering choices they made for almost a decadeBe vague because you have no idea what you're talking about. Smooth. Engineering on AY have basically been the same since DP ver2 which was only the combination of aspects of earlier AY, and now are even used on the female body types. I highly doubt if the engineering was so "hated" they would standardized it for so many later items.Anons might hate the Yamaguchi style sculpt or costume choices but I don't think the engineering is a big factor. The AY body system don't look any worse than other action figures but articulates noticeably more.
>>11539094>Anons might hate the...Forgot about the QC. That's a big factor for sure their QC is one of the worst for a Japanese line.
>>11539094>Yet they're thriving more nowNot really.I don't think you know, but the Revoltech line was pretty big in the US for about a decade. Lots of official distribution and they were releasing a lot of figures that actually appealed to US collectors. Then they completely disappeared.Technically, you're right that they're "thriving more now", because they've finally started pushing their wares in the US again, but that's after nearly a decade of being gone and they're nowhere near as known as they used to be.Pic is from when they had US support and it's pretty easy to see why, unlike the pictures i posted previously.>Be vague Nothing vague about the obvious.That shit turns off a lot of people, hence Bandai also getting a lot of hate for their engineering choices now.
>>11537910That knee doesn't work like that.
>>11539111Revo jack sparrow was a really really bad release, I'm surprised it even got a reissue
>>11539111God you're so out of touch. Maybe Americans don't make great customers since to them toys should be cheap or they throw a tantrum when prices go up by like 3 dollars. Interesting that was also when you used to be able to produce toys for cheap from China. When prices had to go up who stopped buying again? Catering to US involves a completely different strategy meaning Japanese would likely buy lessWhen Kaiyodo was probably the most US appealing, when AY started, I think they didn't even bothered. Because they got plenty of funds soon after. Instead they clearly focused on China. Their output has increased significantly since. If opening online US store is actually happening that seems more like because they thrived already. US market is a little more tolerable to the limited quantity pricing than before.I think this because they have almost completely stopped the "appealing to US" IP. It's all domestic popularity and rest of East Asia. US store probably aims for the small weeb demographic but nothing more as a nice extra boost. MGS is a big get but I'm not sure that was to make it big in America move. If US collectors were actually finding that tiny poseable statue tier figure appealing, no wonder they stopped. >That shit turns off a lot of people, hence Bandai alsoAll the same difference to you, so don't know shit along with bad taste to what was considered good. Why do you bother.
>>11538211Small totes work.
Psylockes sold out immediately, stores never restocked.
>>11539316I'm so glad I was able to find her at TargetFOR ME TO SCALP
>>11538353Of coarse they're going to save the masked head and bare arms for a separate release.
>>11539172>third wolder super butthurt because revoltech isn't as popular as he thought it wasWhy are you arguing? Fact is, the Revoltech line used to be popular until they started doing weird(er) shit with the engineering and they completely lost the largest toy market in the world because of that.>Because they got plenty of funds soon after. Instead they clearly focused on China.HUGE amount of cope.Not only does China not have much of a market for expensive first world toys, (other countries like Hong Kong and failpines are bigger), but you could tell that they didn't have plenty of funds, because the amount of REvoltech type figures they were releasing during this time was muuuuuch lower than 2008-2014. There used to be Revoltech sub-lines that regularly output a figure, because they used to be that popular. When there's a decrease in production, that's definitely a sign of declining sales.You sound like some zoomer who barely got into Kaiyodo's figures, because you don't know anything about their past.Pic is probably the last time the Revoltech line got US attention
I'm so depressed it hurts. I can't even motivate myself to open the last few MLs I got. Everything sucks. Thanks for reading my blog.
>>11538767>Nobody wants anything ultimate FF related except Maker.Anon, Hasbro's clearly trying to tap into that 2000's retro packaging shit as we've seen with Dragon Man. People will buy the Ultimate FF since those were the designs used in all the Scott Johnson Marvel merch back in the 2000s. Plus Hasbro can just repaint them for a WGH animated wave.
>>11539606What is the biggest problem in your life? Something you would change if you could.
>>11539634No Marvel Legends Sue will ever look like that
>>11539638It mainly boils down to health issues, loneliness and missing my dog that passed away at the end of last year.
>>11539605Yup there's the TMNT pic finally. Amazes me how much you don't update your brain. And making inaccurate descriptions of the anon when you can't make a good point. I should've emphasized on the East Asia part more for you because no shit those are included too. Not sure about Philippines activity though. >but you could tell that they didn't have plenty of funds,The fact you don't know what I'm talking about there and only measure that with the output of one type of their products say a lot that you're no expert. The impression I'm getting here is you think if you don't see something at your local comic book shop that means they are failing miserably. Or maybe don't even exist? because your opinion might be stuck to before the grey box era but I can't be sure. You wouldn't admit such shortcomings. Well this has been my yearly or bi-yearly checkup on subby on the topic. Somehow it's getting worse.
So the Mephisto preorders end Tueday, who here is getting one?
>>11539649What, 12? Ultimate fans are Destiny fans.
>>11539678Cancelled my order because I need to better budget this hobby. Downsizing too because a room full of toys is cringe, no matter what anyone says.
>>11539678Not I. Too big, too expensive, too much a waste of space. Also never liked his design, its too basic.
>>11539678I snagged one.
>>11539695spotted the shill
>>11539669Why should i update it, when the fact is that shit like that is what directly led to the Revoltech brand disappearing? The entire point of the image is to show off that ugly engineering scared nearly everyone away. Even here on /toy/, there was a noticeable decline in its fanbase. It used to be one of the biggest threads on /toy/ and after they started doing Amazing Yamaguchi, the thread started to die and became less popular than the GI Joe threads when Hasbro killed the GI Joe line after 2 years os barely any releases>The impression I'm getting here is you think if you don't see something at your local comic bookThis is some mighty ESL comprehension level going on here. Here i am talking about "markets", "official distribution", referring to the US as a whole, and specific years, and you think I'm talking about just my local stores? COPE.I referring to Kaiyodo having booths at various US trade shows for about a decade, having displays at distributors' booths in the US, and then literally NOTHING until 2025. Losing or not caring about the biggest in the market in the world is a huge loss no matter how hard you want to cope.You're probably one of those third world retards that didn't know the US is so gigantic, that kids toylines sell in the hundreds of thousands to millions of range, because your shitty country can only manage to sell ten thousand units at its maximum.BTW, thats great how you ignore the fact that Kaiyodo's output was greatly diminished, because you can't ignore the fact that they couldn't afford as many licenses anymore and had to focus on Yamaguchi's stuff. It was a huge retraction in what they could sell, because sales went down.Again, this makes you sound like a zoomer who barely got into toys in 2021, especially since you think their recent popular is anything like it was i nthe past. It's like 1/5thAlso, it's ironic that the most attention Revoltechs got after 2015 is when fanboys like yourself shit up Marvel threads.
How rabid will people be to buy the new Mysterio? Rabid enough for Walmart to cancel orders?
>>11539750I'm debating on it, I'm happy enough with my comic Mysterio, although I the TAS version is the one I think of when I think of the character, so who knows?
>>11539683>Downsizing too because a room full of toys is cringe, no matter what anyone says.Got up to 36 figures on display. I walked into my room and it just looked like cluttered hoarding. Felt like such a faggot. Now I have less than 10 on my bookshelf with their comic or movies
How will collecting survive if everyone cuts back? Better get what you want now before the toy train ends.
>>11539766I mean if it's your actual bedroom yeah, having the entire room taken over by toys is pretty cringe. I have a couple of shelves in my room but they're isolated to one spot and are out of the way. Meanwhile I do have a den that I have my entire collection set up in with my hobby bench, gaming PC, 3d printer, and my VR setup. It's my nerd room. But it's specifically set up that way and I don't have toys anywhere else in my house other than there and the couple in my bedroom. Filling a regular living space with toys is pretty cringe imo.
>>11539768I mean, if I were to outright stop right now, I'd be alright. I have pretty much everything I want save for a handful of characters/costumes. I have other hobbies so I'll be fine if I were to severely cutback to only a handful of figs a year. I'll still enjoy the toys I have and talking about those.
>>11539710Give a child a choice of AY or ML and they'll choose AY every time. Unfortunately they're stuck with Wal-Mart trash.
>>11539710You make a lot of assumptions about a person, list details like you're teaching them something they don't already know. Fact is you're way off. I'm well aware. Although no first hand experience of life in the US of A except visits to grandparents when little. Sorry I don't live in that mess of a country."Thriving more now" was relative to that period you like to brag about, around start of AY. If you want to look at the company history as a whole, Revoltech era weren't even close to their peak. I bought their stuff prior to Revoltechs if that even matters. Years collecting seems to have value to you so there. >kids toylines sell in the hundreds of thousands to millions of range,Yes exactly, KIDS. Money is there but outside that I'm not sure it's significant when you get to 10,000 Yen per figure. Back when costs were low enough Revoltechs could be under 4000 Yen maybe but not after that. It's the same issue Sentai faces where the US versions have to be cheaper crappier versions to sell it to kids (their parents) Please don't go on a tangent with Bandai toys. Kaiyodo isn't a toy company but a figure company (and kit company). I doubt they ever cared about that kind of market. That's why the interest points toward East Asia. Even the 2025 SDCC they went there with mostly their leftovers they wanted to get rid of. Only possible effort made was a Harley Quinn reissue. If the US store actually opens and say they reissued a bunch of Marvel and DC for that purpose, bonus if they start making new AY in those IP again or something in that vein I'll admit I was wrong about Kaiyodo's interests. But if that happens and are doing well you know that means you're off the mark about the engineering hate.
>>11539772>and they'll choose AY every time.Maybe if they're retarded
>>11539772I like AY but I wouldn't go that far, a child probably doesn't care about presentation, they see "spider-man!" and they want it, even if it looks and poses like shitAnd regular retail stuff not being premium collector grade is fine, it's hasbro trying to appeal to collectors while making substandard product that's an issue
I rearranged my Marvel spot to make space for Dr. Doom once he arrives.I hope one day they release an X-Men 97 Psylocke using the same body as the Gamerverse one with an "animated" facesculpt.
Whoops forgot the pic
>>11539098Not even close. SHF's, BAK's and PAK's, white even figma's are worse these days. And that's to say nothing of domestic US toys, that shit always had terrible fucking QC
>>11539938As if you'd know.
>>11539799>world salad that has nothing to do with facts, just rambling contrarian nonsense...Remember when Kaiyodo could afford to have a staff of more than one person to sculpt their REvoltechs? I remember.>>11539772what does a child's choice matter? The fact is, even /toy/ gave up on revoltechs back in 2014/2015/2016 and we're the market that Kaiyodo is supposed to be catering to.It took them nearly a decade to crawl their way back to the position they were in ~2010 and considering how people have said that their newest figures totally fixed the ugly engineering that made fans reject their shit 10 years ago proves what I've said earlier
>>11539943>Remember when Kaiyodo could afford to have a staff of more than one person to sculpt their REvoltechs?You really love holding onto that one period of AY like it holds true forever. We both know why you keep bringing it up over and over>also unknowingly posts pic where no Kaiyodo sculptors were involved>and we're the market that Kaiyodo is supposed to be catering to.LMAO>how people have said that their newest figures totally fixed the ugly engineeringThat goes back to my initial point. The so called fixed engineering you wouldn't know about were already in use early on in AY. Anons only hated certain early AY like #2 Spider-Man overall, or mainly sculpt work or face designs on others. The few modular plastic capes, shit like that. Shoulder joints from #4 are the same type today, two styles of butterfly system same from #3 or #9, elbows of #5, torso from #8, hips and legs barely changed since #5. These are all before the first 2 years of AY. The most recent change to engineering is the bicep swivel from #24 from early 2022 but I highly doubt this alone fixed everything people apparently hated all this time. Anons were accepting of the major engineering choices otherwise they wouldn't like them now. AY HQ which is very popular on 4chan has the same knee joints >>11537910 claims anons hate so much.
>>11539943They should do Queen's Blade X Marvel so you have a Black Widow with Cattleya's body and exposure level
>>11540007... why are you taking this shit personally?You're acting like some shill who thinks I'm only doing this to distract the grand opening of Kaiyodo's brand new store and this is going to hurt Amazing YAmaguchi's current sales, when the fact is I made a response to some guy who thinks only American toys have bad engineering.Again, the fact is, imports can look worse and the people dropping these lines was more noticeable, especially here on /toy/, because of how small the lines are.Hence the Revoltech General going from a thread that reached the bump limit in a week to going for months before getting a nwe thread. Yamaguchi's engineering was extremely unpopular that Revoltech fanboys ditched the line in droves.Also, it's hilarious that fanboys can admit this looks like shit now, but back then? You crazy shills were super angry people didn't like how this looked and were angrily praising this shit.Maybe the new figures still look like shit today too, but I wouldn't know, since i haven't paid attention to the REvoltech threads since they fired everyone and Yamaguchi became the focus.
>>11540023>since they fired everyoneI wouldn't care to this degree if you didn't talked out of your ass and be easy to poke holes in. Having time to kill plays a big role.People were well aware Spidey looked awful, they still liked how well he can pose. Getting reissued 4~5 times must be because nobody liked him. DP was well liked and looks fine, they just made a better one for the 5th anniversary. It was good to learn you aren't even trying to learn new information, really add value to your opinions.
Why is this faggot bitching and moaning about outdated figures from a decade ago? Move on already, just like everyone else did over DC Icons you fucking twat.
>>11540052>I wouldn't care to this degree if you didn't talked out of your ass and be easy to poke holes inI'm sorry, but where'd Takeya go? They released like a hundred figures in the late 00s and early 10s that weren't sculpted by Yamaguchi.Where'd those sculptors go?How many non-Yamaguchi sculpted action figures did Kaiyodo release from 2016 to 2024?Again, my entire point is to someone's post, who seems to think imports are perfect, yet there's a ton of cases where a lot of people actually gave up on imports due to how awful their engineering is.pic wasn't sculpted by Yamaguchi either, yet you can see his infuence on the hideos engineering. Completely disjointed, with obvious joints everywhere, unlike earlier figures within the same line, when it was actually popular.>DP was well liked and looks fineWithin the dying depopulated circlejerk general, you mean. When posted elsewhere, you fanboys got super butthurt that people didn't like it and shat up the thread with your shitposts.Again, that makes me question whether the new figures actually fixed this shit, since you shills love to pretend everything is the greatest until it leaves store shelves. Fake positivity.
>>11540066>that makes me question whether the new figures actually fixed this shitWhy are you even discussing things you can't even be bothered to look into? Do you just want to shitpost for shits and giggles? Bragging about being ignorant isn't exactly the win you think it is.
>>11540075>Bragging about being ignorantSubjectautismo basically made that his entire personality for years now.
>>11540075Do you do anything else with your life other than argue?
>>11540066>He thinks Takeya worked at KaiyodoBesides those who are titans in the industry and were always freelancing, most of the employed sculptors still work there. Like I said before, Revoltech/action figures are not the only thing Kaiyodo is involved with. I can only find one sculptor who worked on some (like 5) Revoltechs who left, Akira Tani. In fact they hired at least 3 new sculptors in the last 3 years.>How many non-Yamaguchi sculpted action figures did Kaiyodo release from 2016 to 2024?That's a very interesting question that got me curious. >2016 - 10 (also Vulcanlog - 10)There were also a non-Kaiyodo released revo line this year, many used Kaiyodo sculptors, all used revolver joints so count or don't count however you please.>2017 - 8>2018 - 7>2019 - 4>2020 - 9>2021 - 3>2022 - 4>2023 - 10>2024 - 14I didn't count reissues of course. And exclusive repaints because who cares. Your man Takeya and his team were fairly active through out this period. 2025 is crazier than last year btw. Pointless really unless you count the same for the older glory days. But when the cost inflation wasn't as crazy how do you make judgement? If costs were half making twice as many is keeping the same pace?
>>11539937wow sick poses
>>11540121Post yours
>>11540116Thank you for confirming everything i've said.So they went from releasing a shit load of non-Yamaguchi Revoltechs every year to making very few and ditching nearly all of their sculptors.>Your man Takeya and his team were fairly active through out this period. Brah, Takeya's line had like 10 figures in just 2012. Nevermind the SciFi/licensed Revoltech subline was also going on in 2012.Making single digit amount of figures a yaer isn't busy if they're not even making half as many figures as they did in the past.And why would you even count non-Kaiyodo shit, when we're talking about the fact that Kaiyodo's had to downsize everything for close to a decade due to losing so many customers/sales? Oh right, because you're a lying fanboy pretending bad shit happening isn't actually bad shit happening. >b-b-b-but inflation!If we don't count anything after COVID, there's still a giant decline.Neverfuckingmind that 2008-2012 was a fucking economic crisis for the first world... but i guess a dumbshit third world zoomer wouldn't know this shit.
>>11540138I never denied that one man operation AY years existed, I said they were coming back with their output. >everything i've said.Seriously? Selective memory must be fun. Old Takeya and QB are full of repaints which inflates the numbers anyways. But this is where this thing about cost comes in. Average factory wages alone more than quadrupled since Revoltech started so how can you simply judge by releases per year? Those numbers now are approaching 2013 and on numbers which were in the teens. Getting back to peak Revo 2009~10 numbers is unrealistic while using these expensive Chinese factories. You're more keen on this stats but is also not the most ideal measurement since ultimately the volume of units sold would be the most meaningful. But we don't have them nor can really speculate. How about the quality (price) of the IP? those have probably improved in recent years compared to all previous years of the Revoltech series. And of course you wouldn't know but during this time they started a model kit business, a dream of theirs for 60 years. Not a cheap startup. Nothing is remotely Marvel related anymore so I am done. I know to stay on topic I'll shill the last new Marvel AY for a while. Get your Gwenom coming out Aug 29.
>>11540159>i-it was just a bunch of repaintsIf i included repaints, it'd have been like 60 figures every year from non-yamaguchi.>But we don't have them nor can really speculate. LOL, fuckwit who doesn't understand business. You can easily and correctly speculate sales based on they're able to release dozens figures because they're getting orders to release dozens of figuresYou know how when you listed your numbers for 2016 - 2019 and how the numbers kept shrinking? That's poor sales. Less shit sold year after year, so they made less and less shit. Again, this is why you how you know that Revoltech sales were poor after 2014 and their fanbase quitting the toyline.Again, the fact that they were releasing so much shit from 2008-2013 is because sales were great. This is why they even chanced on getting the STar Wars license, the biggest most profitable toy license ever. But they made trash, so of course they ditched the license pretty fast and not surprisingly, correlates with their company shrinking.Are you merely pretending to be a retard because you don't want to admit that sales were poor? Because that's a lot of pretending to defend a company.>trying to blame China for kaiyodo's low outputyeah, okay, and China killed off the majority of the revoltech fanboys from 2016-2024, hence REvoltech General being a graveyard for nearly a decade?... might as well blame China on Yamaguchi's ugly engineering while you're at it.
>>11540175It was never that high even with repaints. >actually believes in an overestimated bs number he pulled out of his ass>makes you think about the rest of his slop. Honestly after that you ramblings lost me completely.
>>11540075He'll never reply to you because he knows you're actually right.
>>11540220>I'm so full of shit i don't want to acknowledge you calling my retarded logic out, so I'm going to nitpick at an obviously exaggerated number to say you're wrong about everythingYou know what lost most of the Revoltech fanbase? Amazing Yamaguchi and the ugly as fuck engineering.I mean, the numbers from >>11540116 actually support this. 10 figures not-from-Yamaguchi in 2023? And then 14 in 2024? It's no wonder that Kaiyodo is came back to San Diego Comic Con to show off their wares.
i'm a poorfag but there's no way i'm wasting money on anything marvel legends related they look and pose like absolute trash, not much different to a mcfarlaneand you guys just keep buying and buying non stop when you could have used all that wasted money on a smaller but far higher quality collection with modern articulation and sculptworkevery marvel legends or mcfarlane collection/display looks like trash, like a row of the same mannequins almost all identically posed but only painted differently --- just different coloured mannequins all with the same sculpt pretty much just standing there like zombiesi'm happy with my +-50 figure collection which is small but again higher quality and i have no need to get a new variation of the same character every 3 months
Subjectanon hasn't even bought much toys for years now (if at all), so the resident autist has no reason to act like he has any authority or up-to-date knowledge on any of this discussion. Seriously, just ask him to post any Marvel figure he's bought within the last year.
>>11540239cool blog
>>11540239Ok? Why do you faggots need to announce this shit to the world like any of us care? Just don't buy MLs if you don't like them and move on with your life. This kind of thing just seems like you're seeking attention.
>>11538248They look so awesome, damn... I don't understand how anyone could be interested in flat knees and elbows in Marvel Legends after this. It's such shit, god.
>>11538193Cry and keep consuming garbageSorry
>>11540258That's what you're doing, yes
The funniest thing is seeing how someone tries to forget the problems of the current Hasbro, discussing the problems of the other line for almost the entire thread. It's absolutely insane.Some kind of resentment?
>>11538248Those are horrible, look at their fucking clunky proportions!
>>11540263(You)
>>11540267Cry more, please
Why do you fags always insist on these brand wars arguments? Do you not just buy stuff from every brand and mix and match? Are you all poor?
>>11540279Maybe because it's funny, I don't know, we need conflicts like these so we don't start real wars over races and territories... Oh, um, I think we've already ruined that too. Sorry.In any case, that's exactly what I do with figurines: I buy a variety of them, chasing after my favorite designs and characters rather than specific companies. So I completely agree with you. But I think even if you're not poor, you wouldn't want to spend a lot of money just to fill your home with plastic.
>>11538361Maybe they'll get a repack or reissue like DOOM, and get the printtech update. The sculpt is there, they just need to get the print designer to work their magic.
>>11540231>more non-Yamaguchi revos = because they hate the engineeringHe doesn't know most of those are using the Yamaguchi engineeringMust be so unpopular
>>11540279No, Hasbro hasn't released anything good looking.
>>11540239Good, high IQ post>>11540249>>11540251Bad, low IQ responses.
>>11540310Obvious low IQ troll post
Who’s ready for the SHF Spidey mogging, bros?
>>11540310This place isn't your blog to bitch about how you feel personally attacked by a particular toy company and are therefore boycotting it. Good for you, none of us fucking care. What is it with zoomers and their compulsive need to overshare everything about their lives with complete fucking strangers? You guys are a bunch of weenies.
Okay, here we go. Those full pegs of Jeany will get down' to $7.50 eventually. Barely any movement in the Targets i've been too and youtube videos I've seen. If only walmart could stock there exclusives this good. Fuck Walmart, and fuck Hasbro for continuing to give them exclusives I want.
>>11540327Yeah there were enough Jeans and Savage Land Chuck's available that they had to pull them from the pegs at my local store. Charlie stayed around a tad longer, Jean was only around for a few weeks before they pulled her. Still not sure why the Psylocke/Thanos set was so hard to get, unless the desire for a new Pyslocke was just that strong.
>>11540319>>11540325not an argumenti accept your concession
>>11540239If you were actually poor you shouldn't have ~50 import figures. That's not poor.
>>11540392>poor people can’t make bad financial decisions have you ever met a single poor person
>>11540399They wouldn't have enough money to buy that many and still have internet to post here
>>11540361Actually my post was very much an actual argument as to why you're a bunch of cake eating pussies.
>>11540392That's precisely why he's (still) poor.
>>11540121Thanks anon, the two spideys are based off promo art of Spider-Man 3!
>>11538353Did his hair always look shit
>>>11540292 most of those are using the Yamaguchi engineeringAnd that's why they're still not making or selling as many figures as they did in the early 10s.Yamaguchi has a really ugly style, especially for faces, so at least other sculptors make the engineering less noticeable and the figures not ugly.>>11540325the internet has been used that way since before you were born. But you are right about little bitches feeling personally attacked because anyone dares to disagree with their form of reality and now she feels the need to revenge post.
>>11540836All they need to do is fix the face and neck and Yamaguchi Psylocke is better than that ML people are paying 100$ for on ebay
>>11540836>the internet has been used that way since before you were born.Yeah, and you were a fuckin weenie back then too. What's your point? >But you are right about little bitches feeling personally attacked because anyone dares to disagree with their form of reality and now she feels the need to revenge post.Is this the pot calling the kettle black? Are you being deliberately obtuse or do you legitimately lack the self awareness?
>>11540855>no uuuu!low IQ butthurt and thread derailment, all because i dared point out that imports also get hated for ugly engineering to the point of brand specific generals nearly become abandoned.
>>11537732Blokees rivals when?
>>11540892You replied to me first dipshit. Don't scream about thread derailment when you were the one who replied to me. Faggot. I swear you look for people to argue with.
>>11540916>how dare you respond to me to talk about toys! now I'll spend the entire thread making shit up and insulting you, but it's actually you who's derailing the thread!Who knew disagreeing with you that ugly engineering is also found on imports and can nearly kill a brand that is known for their marvel toys is off topiccheck dem gaps out. if you don't carefully position your camera and figure, of course ugly engineering will look ugly, huh? it's not like most people who bought this stuff didn't see how much uglier it is in person.....
>>11540960You didn't reply to me about toys. You replied to me about being an oldfag on the Internet. You're acting like a weenie again. Cut it out. My comment you replied to wasn't even related to your gay little back and forth.
>>11540836>when he has no clue about new figures>"they prove the engineering is bad ">told they have yamaguchi engineering>"they prove engineering is still bad they just hide it better">"uhh, also his sculpt sucks!"That desperation lol. Stop talking about a topic you know shit about. I already said the ones anon particularly hate was due to the sculpt like the faces. When the engineering is exactly the same but the face is nice you get Harley Quinn which was so favored she was the SDCC event exclusive. Had 2 variants and 2 reissues. >>11540960His reissue next year must be because they hate the engineering
>>11540966Okay
>>11540966>b-b-b-but those figures are in the past, so it doesn't matter if the engineering was so ugly that it nearly killed its fanbase!... i don't think you understand the entire point that was being discussed because you're so caught up in trying to shill the current product.Also, that's funny that you think a single figure being popular somehow absolves nearly a decade of poor sales and declining fanbase. Maybe if they released a single figure, whoa.... but nohow many Amazing Yamaguchis were released from 2016-2024 anyway?>>11540964oh, i thought you were replying to the part about the toys because you were the other poster, but instead you only replied to that part because you wanted to be extra contrarian to shitpost harder?okay then.
>>11540984>oh, i thought you were replying to the part about the toys because you were the other poster, but instead you only replied to that part because you wanted to be extra contrarian to shitpost harder?I replied to you because you fucking replied first. You're such a goddamn sperg you can't even keep straight who you're arguing with and what you're arguing about. Take a fucking break from the Internet and go outside you overly angry, know it all faggot. You're continuing to be a weenie and someone needs to give you a wedgie.
>>>11540989 you can't even keep straight who you're arguing with and what you're arguing about. Take a fucking break from the Internet and go outside you overly angryOOOF, dude. Oofthis >>11540310 isn't my post. My own reply to you was just to point out nothing has changed since the internet was created and i didn't even insult you. Infact, i even agreed with your post, so how could i even be that guy?But you missed that, because you're super mad. OOF.
>>11541008No fucking shit. The post I'm referring to is >>11540836. Specifically:>the internet has been used that way since before you were born. >But you are right about little bitches feeling personally attacked because anyone dares to disagree with their form of reality and now she feels the need to revenge post.That's what I replied to and you got all fucking confused about who you were talking to. I honestly don't know if you're deliberately playing stupid or if you're actually fucking dimb but you need to shit the fuck up right now before you make yourself look even stupider. Just take the L that you got mixed up with who you were replying to you massive fucking WEENIE! Follow the fucking quote links if you get confused you ass clown.
>>11541014Brah, I'm confused, because i literally don't get what's making you this angry. Did the part about being a little bitch because they feel personally insulted because an import brand got criticized hit too close to home?Again, this wasn't aimed at you or anything, yet holy shit, you so mad.You literally can't be critical about imports without sensitive babies shitting up the place.

>>11541118Because it has fucking hideos hips.I dropped the SHF line 5 years ago because they introduced that Revoltech-ugly engineering into their line. >>11541113>still angry ramblingi doubt you even make sense to yourself.
>>11541078i really like the proportionsit reminds me of the 90s toy biz stuff
>>11541182Figuarts used to be the king of drop down hips in the 2000s & 2010 and they gave up that reputation for buttcheek articulation
>>11541182>Why are you mad that I jumped down your throat because I'm a retard who can't differentiate the various people arguing with me?Fuck off loser. A little humility goes a long fucking way.

>>11541078>>11541081Gamerverse line has been so strong, I'm curious how far they're willing to go with the characters. I'd shell out for a Sentinel.

>>11541078>>11541107>>11541094>>11541198>>11541186I don't get the hate for the way Bandai does their crotches. It's not as natural as Mafex or Marvel Legends, sure, but having proper thigh cuts that aren't just abrupt cuts appeal to me. Plus, it feels/looks premium.
>>11541186Drop downs only look good in a neutral position, otherwise they look and function substantially worse
>>11541200It looks very ugly to me. so ugly I'd rather buy a Marvel Legend. I'm used to the cavities in the hips. I'm not used to these weird multiple layered cuts everywhere and I'm too old to change now.
>>11541188Yeah, it's not as bad as revoltechs, but still fucking ugly.>>11541186fucking unnecessary and it didn't even improve the range. I'm almost angry now.... but I really haven't missed a thing, so eh...>>11541187cry more

>>11541200It's not the thigh cuts. The T shape crotch is not the best look. It reminds me of the hips on old 5POA toys
>>11541212Notice his head cant get as low as in the game
>>11541222its less the head and more the spinei don't think you can get that kind of a bend unless you have 2 ab crunches
>>11541222Torso probably can't go down to a 90 degree position. Most action figures can't utilize the diaphragm ball joint to its full potential. Waist ball joint tend to be similar so the diaphragm makes the real difference.
>>11541209Those hips aren't even revo-like. Revo has really simple hip assemlies, like ML-tier simple. SHF just doesn't know what the fuck they're doing and adds a gorillion different swivels for not even that much more articulation
>>11541226Revo can. They used to do it with only a single joint inside the abdomen. Now with two ball joints like this Figuarts is most likely doing. They just need to have the chest hollow enough the abdomen piece can tuck into it. But the built-in shoulder section joints are probably taking up that space.
>>11541078literal caveman proportions.the fags want this so let them buy ugly toys.
>>11541245No one said they're REvoltech-like. They're revoltech-ugly. Big difference.>>11541219The t-crotch is only part of the problem. The extra lines, the giant gaps... it's awful to look at and completely unnecesary, because it doesn't improve on the range of motion.Bandai essentially created the new engineering just to make their figures look uglier.>>11541217Crying seems really important to you. I bet your mommy always gave in to your tantrums, hence you growing up to be a little bitch.
>>11541078I don't like it, what's so off about it? Other than messing up the default sprite colors. Maybe the proportions?
>>11541273Not ripped enough, looks kinda like one of those party balloons.
Amazing Yamaguchi have the best looking crotches and butts by the way. Great range, minimal cuts, and you barely see the joints

>>11541273Proportions are definitely off>>11541078>>11541110Maybe lower half of the body should be bigger overall?
>>11541286Awful figures
>>11541295Yeah, maybe shorter torso to make the legs look longer like in >>11541110. Smaller head too.
>>11541286>Amazing Yamaguchi have the best looking crotches and butts by the way. Great range, minimal cuts, and you barely see the joints in this specific pose and at this specific angleFixed that for you.That's great if you're a photographer or only like looking at pictures of your toys, but they're much uglier when you're holding them and playing with them.Plus, the entirety of fiddling around with the joints and gaps.>minimal cutsbut massive gaps. not a good trade off, hence the fanbase degrading for nearly a decade.

I can't believe that a knee can be not flat in a bend... brothers, how is that possible, is it freaking magic?
>>11541201Nah the only thing the articulated buttcheeks ad is the ability to move the leg straight backwards perpendicular to the body for like gymnastic poses or leaping poses drop down is better in every other way
>>11541321Hips look great from all angles actually. Ballpegs become partially visible only at 180 splits and that's about it.
>>11541342Drop downs literally dislocate the entire hip and fuck up the proportions, it is not better
>>11541180
>>11541336Nah the pegs from the double hinges are just place far back of the knee piece. Depending on how the whole assembly is sculpted the exposed knee piece might get caught on the edge of the thigh or shin though will never know until in hand.Shinkocchou red rangers were messing with knees like this but they really improved on the silhouette.
>>11541346Nah this is way better than the thong setup
>>11541358Right in the photo (and literally above your post), we can see that when bent, the knee is not straight and not flat.Nah
>>11541321I'm not even sure what your image is supposed to be showingI guess, there's really, really tiny gaps if your looking straight up the taint? But even ML and mafex has that issue, and shf is even worse
>>11541354They 180ed the hip cover of the right leg to cover things up LOL
>>11538055Fuck, the only reason I bought thay Gwen was for the wide hips and nice ass.
>>11541367He's talking about the shoulders, which are completely irrelevant. Best to ignore the psycho.
>>11541336Are you retarded?
>>11541367>doesn't notice left arm is floating away from the rest of the body>brick building showing where they should be no brick building showing>right shoulder completely dislocatedPicture wasn't really to show the gaps, just that the toy is extremely fiddly.... but since Revoltechs are so gappy, the gaps are always going to show up.... unless you posed it just right and carefully chose the camera angle to view it from a 2d photo.
I still love you Spidey 1.0, you're definitely outdated, but there's a certain charm in how you look.
>>11541368>they posed the figure lolYes.
>>11541321>Couldn't even be assed to cherry pick a dumb pic of the updated DP.Lol
>>11541381NTA, are you?
>>11541381Yes, you're right, of course, otherwise I wouldn't be a fan of modern Marvel Legends. so what?
>>11541078This is great. Not surprised to see most of you fags hating it you all hate everything. There hasn’t been a single Spider-Man figure from any company that was ever revealed that got a positive reception from /toy/, and you can’t prove otherwise.
>>11541370And a fat cock if its the spiderverse trans version.
>>11541286Their butts dont look the best but I agree their hips are top notch.
>>11541198Goku pants
Maximum spiderman was raped by the shf gamerverse spiderman
>>11541533If I’m being honest, the figure kinda looks like a hasbro one which is not good.
>>11541286Too bad about the overall look and headsculpts
>>11541286>Great rangeThe waist often does much of the heavy lifting in them. The legs themselves have trouble raising straight forward, closing together, or avoiding unwanted pivots.
>>11541552I fucking wish Hasbro figgies looked like this. They dont even have topcoat an the web pattern is never part of the sculpt so HasBLOW sloppily prints them on. Bro also has neck articulation and ball joints at the wrist and ankles. ML never does balls like that for Spider-Man. He also doesnt have those ugly hotdog drop down hips. Dont get me started on the knees. Shit just blows anything Hasbro has done out of the water.
>>11541668So much whining
>>11541394So yes, you're retarded
>>11541673It wasnt out of nowhere. Saying this looks like a Marvel Legends is just laughable. I own 3 and non compare to this Spider-Man. Saying it does is cope.
>>11541673NTA but hasbros recent at spiderman lately have been almost good. Shf will get shafted on height but will be a league ahead of hasbro with everything else. I say this as someone who can look past the thong crotch, but id take that over the mafex diaper.
>>11541078Looks cool. Between this and the Maximum, I think I'm good now.
>>11541503I like the Revoltech bootlegs as they fixed the issue of featuring garbage designs. Mafex tends to have positive reception even when it shouldn't (2099, Scarlet Spider). The secondaries love their Spider-Verse figures too. I think you're just hung up on the fact Maximum looks bad and was poorly received.
>>11541785Maximum looks grewt with a matte coat.
>>11541794*great
>>11541521Indeed, futa Gwen is a miracle of the universe.
>>11541198Why do they need to include that extra floating piece, they used to do this kind of hip set up without and it looked better
Mondo Sinister is up,
>>11541762Nah, the Hasbro Spidermans have been excellent throughout.
>>11541394 Waiting on hascuck to recolor him to this >>11541078 for the gamerverse 2 pack line. What deluxe would they pack with him though? Sabertooth Colosus Blackheart?
>>11541762>Shf will get shafted on heightmeaning it will be accurate. every hasbro spider-man is too tall
>>11541996I hope they do Sabertooth soon. I missed out on the anniversary mold and it's literally got the Bengus head art from Capcom, it's obvious it was made to be MVC Sabertooth.
Will you buy Figuarts Gamerverse Spider-Man?https://strawpoll.com/Dwyo3pjlJyA
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fk8H6vP3Yygim really getting legendshater faggot fatigue, every single talking point they do is basically aping Anthonyscustoms and articulatedninja complaining about the price and treating everyone else like a retard because they don't share their opinons.i have more imports than these faggots and legends are great and significantly cheaper since taxes and shipping are always a factor despite the gaslighting they do about it, not to mention legends have better distribution and are actually playable without fear of breaking or chipping not to mention the increase in price is actually in line with the world inflation AND when they DO make better figures than imports the community just ridicules the figure because it cost similar to the shitty import, the maximum spider-man shits over the mafex but you would never know it since they glob imports dick so fucking muchmafexfaggots are usualy the most annoying and midwit sector of the toy community but this is an issue of importfaggots never leaving the honeymoon phase.legends problem is not a price problem, is an articulation scheme problem
>>11542024Yes, I will buy him, but only because I buy pretty much everything Spider-Man. I won't lie, the SHF Gamerverse stuff just isn't really doing it for me. Not the biggest fan of Cyclops either.
>>11542031Why do you guys expect us to know all these Youtubers? Who even cares about what other people think? You just do you.
>>11542024I'll wait for superior. In the event that it was a bust then I'll get this instead. I try to buy one figure per character to save space. Same reason I'm holding off from buying Legends Spiral. Figuarts might do something better.
>>11541898There are limits to stockholm syndrome.
>>11538335Idk that cyclops looks a little homoerotic..is that a yellow thong over tights?
>>11541260They look like kids running to a Christmas tree in their pajamas.
>>11542064>waiting for SHF Superior Spider and SpiralI would just go ahead and buy the ones available. Superior Spider isn't in MVC and Spiral is definitely a low tier character in terms of popularity and probably isn't going to hit the import market any time soon if ever.
>>11542024Its way better than hasbro but 2× the cost better..ehhh
how tall(or short) we reckon he's gonna be.
>>11542261One on the left is a render.
>>11541260>Crying seems really important to you. I bet your mommy always gave in to your tantrums, hence you growing up to be a little bitch.Lol this doesn't even make sense in the context of your stupidity.
>>11542261God help me but I like Hasbro's Spider more than imports. Both are completely lacking any kind of detalization. And that overwhelming diaper on Bandai's one...
>>11542064They made a bunch of variants of the AY 2.0 Spidey but I'm surprised they didn't do a "regular" Spider-Man yet. Since the 2.0 was ANAD suit. Maybe they showed a render, they show off like half a dozen at once. Seems easier than bulking up to do a Venom.
Mafex Jubilee delayed until November.
>>11542392lol, it's comedic at this point.
>>11542392i think of all the mafex figures i've ever bought not one has released on the original expected date
>>11542399Why don't they just take the expected release date and add like 6 months?
>>11542403Because no one would order, and they still would add more months to that anyways.
>>11542392I'm fine with this honestly. With all the tariff shit going on she was just going to sit in my private warehouse for that long anyway.
>>11541662>straight forward, closing together,Fair enough. When the knees are hinges they can't sit straight legged. When the knees are revo joints they can twist at the knees so that's better IMO but they somehow decided that's too much freedom.>avoiding unwanted pivots?Learn to pose? Or you're talking the knee directionality?
>>11542466>tariff shitso basically you don't understand economics and want a bogeyman to blame everything on
>>11542261155mm, its on his product pagehttps://tamashiiweb.com/item/15491/?wovn=en
>>11540984>i don't think you understand the entire pointPoint was engineering. AYs withe the EXACT SAME ENGINEERING sold really well. Do you get the point? Geez you're dumb.
>>11542383No renders of the original. I imagine they're gonna wait until they feel they upgraded the mold enough.
>>11542535Ver2.0 Spider-Man isn't the best mold to use to be honest. AY Flash has better proportions and range in the neck and body. If they're modifying them this much I wish the pick a different base. Also get rid of that diagonal boot-cuts. They were like that only because ANAD has diagonal web pattern.
>>11542539Although I don't know if these third party? original KO? improved the range of motion in anyway.
>>11542517Here's your (You)
Think the new 2099 will be any good? Or should I just grab the Mafex?
>>11542498>Or you're talking the knee directionality?Yeah, that's what I mean. The skewed thigh swivel gives the figures the leg-crossing ability to do a standing ballerina pose in particular, but it conditions the direction of the knee and it often fights against the movement you want. You often run into situations where it is a detriment.The situation is often saved by the fact that the waist can go forward like some great 45º alone depending on the figure.
>>11542633Yeah designed for dynamic posing first that's for sure. When the leg(s) are straight it's not too bad besides the knee facing outwards (like a high kick) you can twist the boots and pretend lol. AY Female Titan's thigh swivels are straight so she can orient the knees straight forward. Hips are more like ML but like ML or any ball joints hips like them you see the balls when you do the splits.
>>11541086>Arms and legs cannot fully bendNot the most articulated spidey figure which is unfortunate.
articulated spider cheeks
why are people looking at renders and thinking they will be the final product?
>>11542261Middle with a smaller romita head is still the best imo.
The amount of import discussion here is shocking. Is this the power of Spider-Man?
>>11543032people with schizophrenia
>>11543050Who is that Spider-Woman?
>>11543050wow. hello here goon man is arrived
>>11543050What is this image? Looks AI.
>>11543050oof.
>>11543077>not using the new Jean Grey body and hairHasbro is so unbelievably cheap, holy shit
You get this and resale all the stuff they give you. Those figures regularly go for 60 to 80
>>11543077Gross, Marvel won't rest until they westernize every Peach Momoko design.
>>11543077I like how the character is depicted on the packaging and the figurine looks nothing like her, as if it's a mockery. The face is barely similar. How low the standards have fallen.
>>11543089>>11543090It's just the fucking Polaris head from years ago, that's why.
>>11543077Why are 75% of ML female releases now on one specific body mold?
>>11543093My fucking god...
>>11542916
>>11543100It's accurate to the source material, most female characters are built the same regardless of their abilities.
>>11543127It literally doesn't look like a picture of a box, you're blind dumbass.
Emperor Doom predicted price: 24.99, 29.99 or MORE?
I did some estimations based on box size and recent historical prices. Better get your wallets out if you want this one.
>>11543211I already have two Dooms, I don't need this one from a shitty storyline I can't even be assed to read.
>>11543350Why dont you want to see the beautiful world Doom would create?
So uh where are you going to preorder the new SHF Spider-Man? Pretty sure it's going to sell out within 5 minutes of going up.
>>11543512Imports don't sell out fast, anon. This isn't Target exclusive or a McFarlane with a production run of under 10000.
>>11543615How long was Cyclops up before it sold out?
>>11543512More like 3 sec
>>11543512ive got the page on amiami open already. 60 bucks for an import is pretty good imo. i just hope i dont miss out and have to pay the charges from bigbadtoystore...
>>11543512Under a minute on HLJ just now
just noticed mafex comic captain america reissue is up on amiami. he was a great release.
hobby genki total crash out
>>11543819Enjoy your $80 tax and tip.
>>11543824It was less than that to me. On the hour I refresh, put in cart, one step checkout page and it told me the item is gone. Like 5 sec impossible. Got him fine another way though.
I managed to get spidey just fine at HLJ. Even had the time to get every other SHF that wasn't Star Wars shit.
>>11543845IDK what is the difference between you and I. I'm doing it with the lowest number of page loading so I can't order any faster. It must be down to the 10ths of seconds.
I slept and missed Spidey, but I'm just not that disappointed. It really wasn't doing it for me, so if I can't get it, I'll be alright.
>>11543950He’ll be on Amazon eventually just like cyclops is now
For those in the US, Why are you ordering these from import sites still? Imports are likely to have 50% tariff fees on them or flat 80 to 200 dollar fees depending on carrier
>>11544036I missed the pre-order for him but I was planning on grabbing him if I can find one. As for my other pre-orders, I'm not cancelling them or anything just yet, I'm hoping that sooner than later, they'll be able to work something out where I won't have to pay a fat tariff. Really though, 50% of a $60 figure isn't the end of the world for me. The $80 flat fee is what kills me. Either the US government will back down when they see all this commerce being halted to the US or the Japanese retailers will find away around it, it seems that there are some claiming they have already found loopholes so we'll see what happens.
>>11544036Because some of us can afford to. Otherwise just order from sites with cancellable orders or warehouses. For all we know this shit could be reversed in a few weeks because TACO plays dumb games like this and we honestly have no infrastructure set up for shit like this.
>>11544153He understands economics a lot better than you idiot
>>11544153I said this in the SHF thread but I may as well say it here, usually, when I import something from Japan, using Surface Air as my shipping method, I pay about $80ish total for a $60 import, after everything is added up. I used to splurg for DHL but that became too expensive this year. Now add a tariff rate of either 50% or an $80 or $200 fee, depending on what your shipper is doing. At that point, why not just pay the extra $20 and get it on Amazon or BBTS? Yeah, saving that extra $20 was nice, but fuck if I'm gong to try and deal with directly importing at this rate. >>11544161To be fair, I'm not cancelling any of pre-orders from overseas just yet. I'm not convinced that something isn't going to change in the next few weeks. But to be fair, for some, the extra fee isn't that much. If they're doing the actual 50% tariff fee, on a $60 figure, it's only an extra $30. yeah it sucks, but it's not the end of the world.
>>11544161yeah sure that’s why he ran all his casinos into the ground
