>>11548757A giant Pikachu or Charizard
>>11548836Not bad at all. I remember seeing the promo shots and infernape looked weird. Love how much competition for pokemon toys is out there right now at least from china side
>>11548757maybe big brick built versions of the 3 Kanto starters. I don't see them making figures and special molds for Pokémon in current year (2026)
>>11548925I can't find them on Ali either.Only a fully sold out listing from a previous wave.

When will you take the 3dprintpill? Stop being a slave to whatever toy company decide to shit out
So I guess 3d print faggots are like the vegans of toys
>>11549036if you are 3d printing them, why are they still not in scale, not in the correct colors and I can already tell they dont look good up close. I just know they will have huge visible layer lines on them and the smaller details like eyes and patterns wont look good. Prove me wrong and show close ups tho. 3d printed things can look nice but almost every person who tries to push them doesnt make them look nice
>>11548704We lost Mega Construx for this shit
>>11549026Thanks listchan
>>11548704>lego gets pokemon>it's all black box THIS IS FOR ADULTS displayslopBWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA oh my god>>11549301Mega actually made playsets for kids but manchildren hate that
If Lego doesn't do minifig scale molds of all 151 I'm not interested
>>11549606Sorry then
>>11548704Why do people believe this leak? What parents are going to buy a $650 toy for their kids?
>>11549682>for their kids?Anon…
Tried to make sense of the blokees measurements, this should be pretty close if you're wondering how they look next to a figma. Snorlax's 13.4cm to the head without the ears lines up roughly to Lucario being 9.8cm with ears. If the 13.4cm is measured from Snorlax's ears then Lucario shrinks to be to small for the 9.8cm. Cinderace's 11.9cm is to the red thing on its head and not ears. Then for Sycther just looking at it he's obviously not the listed 13.3cm, they probably counted his wings raised all the way up for that.
>>11549736None of those are gonna work for Figmas :( The average Poke trainer is supposed to be like what? 5ft tall? Maybe Cinderace can be fudged in there since there's always been weird measuring for it but the rest just look too small
>>11549736You are literally a Uber Chad.
>>11549785Pomemon did just implement a size system in the last few games. Just consider these small sizes?
>>11549854Sure, let's put 6" tall Pikachus and 3" tall Charizards in our collections too.
>>11549682Lego is an 18+ advanced interlocking model building system for adults only
>>11549785Not even figma scales with figma, like how Raihan and Duraludon dont't scale with each other and they come together in the same box lol, stop with that fixation, if you really think any of those trainers are 1/12 or any scale at all you are delusional
>>11549907What are you on about? Raihan and Duraludon are scaled fine. Raihan is well over 6ft tall and Duraludon is just under 6ft tall. Other Figmas aren't perfect but they are all scaled pretty well and what most collectors want their Pokemon to scale with
>>11549785>The average Poke trainer is supposed to be like what? 5ft tall? The default trainer they use in Home is 4'11". The Lucario seems about right with the ears going to almost the shoulders. Their Scyther is really tiny.
The scale issue that bothers me the most is between jazwares' Rayquaza and deoxys
>>11549953are you surprised that a line that isn't scaled has figures that aren't in scale?
>>11549945Blokees Lucario looks a little short still but it just doesn't look good. The limbs are too fat and joints too chunky. The LDCX one looks much better
>>11549969No but it sucks
>>11549969It's a super articulated line that rarely articulates its figures properly.
Nintendo is losing the palworld lawsuit, so they're gonna be doing (even more) over priced fomo shit to make up for the losses.
So are you following the latest stuff with the games? I hope we get various Victreebel toys, I always wanted one, Malamar too. And Im sure some of the chinese brands would do a nice dragonite
>>11548757The entire Pallet Town.
>>11549036As soon as the Bambu Labs filament printers get as good as the resin printers in resolution. Don't want cancer from resin fumes and my place isn't big enough to accomadate a filtering room setup.
>>11552315The filament printers always leave those ugly lines all over the prints. Who wants that? People love to brag about their printed figure or whatever and then show the ugliest looking thing off.
>>11552327Yet you turn a blind eye to the horrible Charizard Select, with its ugly joints, odious plastic and questionable choices. Just because "oh it's articulated and close to 1/12"
>>11552293In terms of the 3 megas that have been officially shown I'm not too impressed by them. But from the leak list there's some that I'm interested in seeing. The combiner Falinks seems like a really fun idea. I want minifigs of regular Falinks too.
>>11552371>the horrible Charizard SelectI didn't know it was opposite day.
>>11552401It's not, it's really not aesthetically pleasing.Tell me about Blokee as a beautiful Charizard toy, and I'd say yes. But not for the Select.
>>11552372Im more interested on certain pokemon having a popularity boost so we can have new figures of them. A Blokees Hawlucha would be great
>>11552430Yea same like regular Feraligatr and Skarmory.
>>11552371You're really going to argue that 3d printed crap like this looks fine?
>>11552430I'd prefer the 2nd Gen starters finally get some real articulated figures, so I can complete my starter line. I have a great Feraligatr and Typhlosion, but Meganium has never had anything. Likewise with Croconaw, Bayleaf and Quilava.
I would buy multiple modular falinks if they make figures for all the new megas.
>>11548704hopefully it's not just a brickbuilt pikachu. i want some buildings or dioramas
>>11552857Me too. I want sets that are Poke-fied buildings that include a few unique Pokemon or trainers. Things like the PV Village line. MEGA already did a large Pikachu, large Ash and many other large Pokemon. I want something different and more in line with traditional Lego sets
>>11552896stupid auto correct. That should be "PC Village line"
Thought I was getting my poke-blokees today but instead got the miku, and for anyone that wanted her as a electric trainer or just because miku has been collabing wity pokemon...this thing is huge lol, only the most oversized mons would fit her scale, toxicitry being a perfect fit it's kinda neat at least
>>11553078She's like what? 6" tall? I wouldn't consider that big at all. Pretty standard western size for a female.
I just caved and paid scalper price for Tyrantrum. Now to wait for an official release at Ross, so it can hurt more. And still waiting for Select Garchomp too
Gundamit has the new Blokees L set up.
>>11553078Well yeah, they're 1/10 compared to 1/12 figma.Think she'll pair well with my Zeraora.
to anyone who wanted to get into scale world but was turned off by the price, AliXpress now has knockoffs that look exactly the same at a fraction of the price. I got a Nidoking, Torterra set, Milotic set. After the sale coupons, they were about 22cad each. Side by side with my genuine scale worlds, they look no different. They don't have every set. but they have about 10-15
>>11552896I imagine they'll have "iconic" sets to appeal to adult Genwunners who have money but haven't played or watched anything past the first game or series. They'll see these in the aisle while they're shopping with their kids and pick them up. I imagine a list like: Pallet Town diorama, or Oak's Lab; a Pokémon Center playset with Nurse Joy, Officer Jenny and Chansey; maybe a gym like Brock's or Misty's or Team Rocket's Balloon.
>>11553226Actually thinking about it now, maybe the idea is you'll buy all these separate sets and combine them into a Pokémon town, like they did with the Animal Crossing set.
Question regarding older figures. I was wondering if Tomy released gen 2 three pack of the starters second stages? This would have been around 2015-2016. And the figures would have been the bigger, articulated figures to give some scale. Not the smaller moncolle figures that are all the same size. I have three, 3 packs from Gen 1, 3 and 6. Never saw a gen 2 sadly. I think 4 may have gotten a release but I'm not sure. Anybody know if 2, 4 or 5 got releases?
>>11553588They only did Kanto, Hoenn, Kalos and Alola mid-evos afaik.
>>11553588Nope, tomy was always 100% on sync with the games so they pushed Kanto, kalos and Hoenn for pokemon X and ORAS. Damn now I feel sad, fuck jazwares
>>11553199They don't have scales tho, they have "classes" and this one is "Fantasy class" although the other 2 mikus are way shorter than this one lol, but yeah, basically you can give this miku all those oversized selects like the cinderace or ceruledge
>>11553226I think those big 18+ sets are all going to be display items probably locations with a lot of intricacy in the builds, similar to the One Piece sets. I can't see them making the adult sets big Pokemon builds like a Pikachu as that'll just be a huge pile of yellow bricks. That just doesn't feel in line with how they usually approach the adult focus sets. Now if there's also kids sets those will probably be small Pokemon builds similar to what Mega did with their sets. Something like that teaser with the brick built pika tail.
Some new blisters that im sure I wont see on aisles soon
>>11553664>They only did Kanto, Hoenn, Kalos and Alola mid-evos Damn that sucks, here's hoping we get them from Jazwares. Gen 2 mons are some of my faves and they get little attention. Ex... I really want an Ampharos, Trainer Select, Blokees or both.>afaik.What does this mean?>>11553673>Nope, tomy was always 100% on sync with the games so they pushed Kanto, kalos and Hoenn for pokemon X and ORAS. Damn now I feel sad, fuck jazwaresIt's so weird because we got first stage evos for the Johto starters. I have 1st and 2nd stages for gens 1 and 3 so 2 feels a bit sparse not having them. Gen 4 and onwards I don't really care.
>>11553807Haven't even seen Pidgeotto singles yet and he's already getting a 3-pack...>>11553809>What does this mean?as far as I know
>>11553807Nice they finished the Nincada line. Wonder if they'll eventually do Dipplin for that line too. When it comes to small figures it feels like anything is fair game now.
To me pokemon toys don't make sense unless it has all of them(or at very least all the og 151 or the full dex of another generation). Otherwise it will always feel incomplete, pokemon shines the brightest when you look at them as a set.
>>11553961The most developed product line in terms of the number of creatures is Bandai Kids. They've created 891 different Pokémon out of 1,025 (the first six regions are complete).I don't think any other brand will go as far in terms of their Pokedex.
>>11553996And they're usually affordable. A lot of them look great. >>11553961Do you have all the old glossy tomy's?
>>11553807Some of the stores near me have locked this series up. Now they all have too many of the old figures and seem to have stopped ordering the new ones.
So what did the "Trainer team series" even mean for the 6" Jazwares stuff anyway
>>11553807Finally a proper Pidgeotto. All I need is a proper Pidgey and Pidgeot too
>>11554333just some silly name they gave the line once it became target exclusive to differentiate it from the waves before
>>11554029That's right, there are only about twenty Pokémon that aren't really affordable in this collection (I'm not counting the shiny Pokémon).
>>11553588For future ref, they're better known as Tomy USA releases, to differentiate from other Tomy stuff like Moncolle.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3oN6OhyMGqAhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IXxwABXeiUsSome reviews for Snorlax and Scyther
>>11554927Thank god for Blokees, Jazzwares looks so, so fuckin ass next to them.
>>11554927Oh, they're kits? Somehow nobody ever seems to mention this, I had no idea. Guess I'll stick with Jazwares.
>>11554932>they're kits? Somehow nobody ever seems to mention thisNot full model kits. You just have to pop some parts together. Everyone knows this unless you only get your Pokemon news from here which means you get non english retards saying incoherent crap and nothing else.
>>11554932You just click them together like Lego or kinder egg toys. There's no cutting/painting/etc.>Somehow nobody ever seems to mention this,>>11548704>Blokees: Non-scale action figures (assembly required)
>>11554927I love they added mad face.
Just put together my blokees Slowpoke.Nice it hasn't made the Jazwares and Plamo unnecessary, because he can't pull off their poses.So got a sleeper, a sitter and a stander.
>>11555529He definitely does feel more Slowbro-wired though. Curious why they didn't do him instead.
>>11555541Cause Slowbro isn't as popular it's always Slowpoke that the companies make so there was never really even a consideration. I think they were smart with the sitting pose cause as the op said it offers something different from the other companies.
I'm expecting Blastoise, Venusaur and Froakie next wave.Scizor's probably a good contender too for follow-ups.
2 years to complete this set and Suicune it's damn tiny
Also Jazwares stuff is pretty much a nice complement for every line except sometimes itself lol. At this point if you collect pokemon you are collecting like 4 different scales or more
>>11556095Grats. I passed on Entei and Raikou myself, only got Suicune.Entei looks too stiff and Raikou too off imo.
>>11555841Maybe they'll add the first legendary next round. I wonder if they'll open up the can of worms that is Eevee evos. I think Wobbufett is something they might do for the larger small figure its goofy like Psyduck and Slowpoke.
I want a damn Select Dragonite, the epic one it's such an imposable piece of cheap plastic, it's even hard to hold
>>11556186Epics are pretty much just display pieces.Same goes for non-humanoid selects.
>>11556186LOL a Select one wouldn't be any better. They suck at making articulation that actually works. The joints will be there, but they won't give you any range. Besides then Dragonite will be smaller to fit in the Select packaging and be too small.
>>11556095What even is the point of this line? They deliberately choose to not make them in scale with anything or each other, they give them joints but dont make them well enough to where they can actually do anything. Entei's legs are pretty useless. It's just a glorified statue essentially like so many figs in this line.
>>11556225Tyranitar it's basically statue with movable parts yes but at least he's on a neutral pose, I want that for Dragonite. He can easily be the same size, aslo select tyranitar is not even as big as flygon or Toxicitry so is not unreasonable
>>11556129Nta I originally was planning to get just Suicune too. Then Raikou went on sale so I picked it up. But then Canada never got Entei so I now awkwardly have 2.
You all wanted this comparison so here it is, he's short for a figma.Letting scale obssesion aside, its a great toy, has a super nice matte finish all over it like charizard. I thought it would be all hollow plastic like jazwares stuff but it is somewhat a heavy toy and has a very solid feel to it.The diorama piece it's great as always, and the mega punch effect fits just fine in snorlax hand. Im happy with this guy, its like the evolution to the tomy usa one, articulates almost the same but without looking like some kind of robo snorlax
>>11556272The only thing I would say I didn't like about it is that it is a little too pale, and that the face is not sculpted at all not even the little fangs so it looks like it doesn't have any teeth at all,
Is there a clear winner in the PLAMO vs Blokees war?
>>11556272Whoa. It ain't that big, but it seems bigger than Tomy's
>>11556466Not until they do a Gardevoir.
>>11556228It's starting to open our eyes to the mediocrity of the Jazwares' Select range, it's good we're making progress.>>11556272The difference between a good quality toy (Blokee) even if they are a little undersized. And the poor quality crap that Jazwares sells.
>>11556272Still an alright size for battling.The piggy bank probably still works best for group shots/etc.
>>11556468just barely taller. GrandmasterHand in Insta just took pics of it. https://www.instagram.com/p/DOT82ypkkJF/?hl=en>>11556474>Jazwares is shitWe know most the figs are bad. But in many cases they are still the only large figure of the Pokemon. Even if the articulation is rubbish. Tyranitar, Flygon, Golisopod, Typhlosion, Deoxys, Samurott, the legendary birds and dogs. They are still the best large figures of all those pokemon
>>11556488Neat, shows the piggybank too
>>11556491Yes, it isn't. A Snorlax on the scale should be 16.6 cm. However, Blokee's is around 13 cm.
>>11556268And in my country it's Entei left in stores with no Raikou. Great distribution again.
top kek Blokees Charizard makes the Jazwares look like a bootleg. ugly joins weird face.I'm so happy i didnt buy a single toystore poketoy except Lugia and i so hope Blokees will make Lugia too!I already collect Transformers Blokees and those are amazing. i'm fully prepared to start with Pokemon Blokees
>>11556665You're late. We've known this for months. Enjoy your Blokees but they don't scale with anything else. They'll have to be their own little corner of the shelf or something.
>>11556753>scaleI don't care>>11556753>You're late. We've known this for months.it's always good to remember how shitty your toys are compared to blokees, anon
>>11556665Tell yourself, there are blind people defending this ugly Jazwares Charizard.While between the unsightly and overly visible articulation, the disgusting glossy plastic, the slightly odd proportions, and the plastic quality that leaves something to be desired...Even before Blokee, it was mediocre. You only had to put it next to a real collectible figure to see that it didn't measure up in terms of aesthetics, technicality, and quality.
>>11556767Yeah that's exactly why i didn't touch Jazwarez despite that char being super artoculated and stuff...he still had some shittiness in himLike what the fuck is this...imagine not using the stand and ALWAYS seeing charizard having a pee-hole staring at you... to be honest that hole was the main reason i didn't buy ti back then
I don't hate Jazwares charizard, it was the best posable figure on retail for a lot of time, also has more articulation than most figures of the same line. I'm fine having multiple charizards
Guys...
>>11556907I've got no interest in the pearly shit.
>>11556665I love both
>>11556907>All these Garchomp rereleases>But they're never Select
>>11556907This has been in target for a little while now. Also shipping now from amazon
>>11556907Definitely want greavard and shedinja, but would wait for the regular versions. A lot of people trash jazwares here but they have the most diversity of mons out of any modern brand
>>11556965Greavard is coming in a 3 pack in the next wave I think. I saw someone post a chart on discord with all the next few waves set out. Thats where Nincada and Sandile were first leaked and pics were just found of those so the charts got to be real
why doesn’t jazwares have an online store? why do we have to rely on big box stores that don’t get shit half the time?
>>11557152Jazwares has no idea half their shit isn't even hitting retail.They've had things be exclusive basically to fucking Cracker Barrel in the past because they didn't get to regular retail stores.Right now theres>some new waves are entirely exclusive to a midwest grocery chain>some new figures are shipped in half boxes to stores, meaning they get 1 or 2 of the new figures of an entire wave>Gamestop exclusive partial shipments of holiday figures that don't show up at other retailers>can't even time links and new product launches correctly (Halloween Calendar has been in ads for a week now and linked to a nonexistent page on Target's site, finally changed to Amazon which doesn't ship til Mid Oct)
>>11557309They've always been clueless. It's like nobody there cares at all or actually enjoys making toys. Remember the Pokemon brand manager telling people that Tyrantrum was released last summer in America? Totally untrue. They are just so clueless.
>>11557339Americans only care about politics and jesus it's why they voted for Trump
>>11555841>I'm expecting Blastoise, Venusaur and Froakie next wave.Man I hope! Would love to get those two. Dragonite would be cool too.>Scizor's probably a good contender too for follow-ups.A select was announced recently.
>>11548704>$650 setWhatIsn't pokemon...for kids?
>>11557829>Isn't pokemon...for kids?
>>11557682Unless they do a XL size, I'm not seeing Dragonite desu>Scizor selectNo interest honestly, after seeing their Ceruledge/CInderace/Lucario/etc.I'll stick to the plamo, as part-swappy as it is.
>>11556798Eww
>>11557893Dragonite is canonically only 4 inches taller than Snorlax. They can easily do a Dragonite as the large figure in the wave.
>>11552313Pallet town doesn't have a pokemon center or a gym. Id bet it's a city, but will have those key structures.
>>11558306If you had to pick one maybe Viridian. You get a PC, mart and a gym. If there's minifigures you can have team rocket trio, Giovanni, Ash.
>Went a bit crazy and purchased two dozens of pokemon figsNext week's gonna feel like christmas.
Got the jazwares bagon finally and of course it can't stand up on its own. Why is this the jazwares standard?>>11553078Would you be willing to post pics of her with a figma? I am on the edge of buying her. >>11558371Happy for you anon
>>11558371getting anything in the mail is my endorphin christmas too. If you got some lot on ebay, that's probably the best thing "Santa" ever got you. Merry /toy/smas>>11558765i know, I'm thinking about drilling a hole and putting some tiny weight inside it. I've heard those little weighted fish hook things might be the answer
>>11558765The Bagon I got can stand. The feet on yours are probably a little warped. If you heat and pull them downward a bit so the figure slants back more it should balance properly.
>>11558765Here it is with pokemon figmas and with an idol master one because plenty of people use them as female trainers
>>11558371you'll have to post pics anon, so we can share your joy
>>11558842She's all leg
>>11558765>and of course it can't stand up on its ownThis, but with moncolle Charcadet.Thought it'd have a support block or something like others, but nah.
>>11558371Noice! It's such a good feeling. I ordered 3 Blokees the other week, after a long drought of not buying. And now there's 3 more to get, and a Skeledirge too? Definitely Christmas feelings.
>>11559012I got the new L set ordered as well on Gundamit, they've yet to ship it though.Did get some smaller ones from Ali during the sale though.
>>11558842>Miku arrived in the country>Gives a delivery estimate of another week laterI'm also still waiting on those foam balls I want to make pokeballs out of, too. It's spent more time at customs now than from china to here.But speaking of imas figma as trainers, any mon suggestions? Got Ranko, Rin, Anzu and Mika. Think Ranko works nicely for ghost/dark/psychic.Saw a drawing of Anzu with Snorlax that fits well I guess.
That mega mamalamar would be a great select tho, it only needs bendy arms and tail and a joint for the head and that's it
>>11559277>mega mamalamar would be a great selectThank jesus some of you guys don't work for a toy company because you have some of the worst ideas ever. The arms are too thin to do with bendy wire, the internally illuminated pattern on the torso would be impossible to do in plastic looking good and they'd never do a select figure that only has like one or two actual joints on it.
>>11559296Wired capes are basically super thin wires on a cheap piece of fabric and they are durable enough, and yes, light effects are never fully represented on cheap toys so what? tralucent tinted plastic would do the job, you are just being a bitter faggot
>>11559399A wired piece of fabric is not the same thing as soft rubber with an internal wire. The thinnest bendy wire part they've done is the deoxys arms and those are like four times thicker than he ends of the malamar arms should be You call others a faggot but you're the one who's the moron.
>>11559414Just say you don't know shit about toys, instead of acting all smart when your only reference it's a single jazwares toy lol thin bendable toys are old as fuck, Keepley Venusaur already has a quite thin vine whip effect, pic related, it's literally a single wire with some plastic coat
>>11559466Just say you don't know shit. Larger companies and some licensors have different safety standards. Youre talking about the company who's legal team isn't letting them make an elekid figure because theyre afraid of kids sticking them in electrical outlets and the pokemon company whos going to want these toys on store shelves to be as kid friendly as possible
>>11559466Even if they were able or allowed to make the bendy parts that thin, who even wants malamar and why would they ever make it? The line's purpose is to give figures lots of articulation. Its literally in the name of the line. Malamar doesnt even have places where it would need more than a joint or two. Its just a completely stupid and very bad choice for that line
>>11558842Thanks, it is on the edge of looking unnatural.>>11558792This has been working temporarily. I'm worried about damaging it. >>11559277I prefer the base form but that could be fun. I find it kind of sad and mocking that the pokemon and Nintendo ads in general are for adults now and they talk to us like we're idiots. I probably won't play ZA unfortunately.
Does Jynx ever appear in stuff that isn't "all of the 151"? Like things where she's being specifically promoted?
>>11559277I just don't want it. Especially because it requires a stand again
>>11559523
>>11559879Why the fuck do you want a figure that doesn't need any joints in the action figure line where the entire point it to make them articulated? They still can't do bendy wire parts that slim. Show me any example of a Hasbro or Mattel or Jazwares or Spinmaster sized company doing anything this slim >>11559466 They always need to make them thicker.
>>11559878Nobody wants it except this one fucking idiot who thinks every single new Pokemon they reveal needs a figure ASAP. There are loads of other Pokemon that will actually make good figures.
>>11548757Nintendo tax.
>>11554936>>11554946It's not difficulty of assembly I'm concerned about, I have Shodos, but they're not very playable. I'm always concerned about breaking them. As someone who likes to smash them together occasionally or fool around with play features the westoid baby trash for ham hands suits me. I'll probably still pick up Blokees when they get to my favorites though.
>>11559926I understand preferring the pvc/abs over model plastic, but they're still fun to pose with.Perhaps try a cheap small one first, they're regularly on sale on Ali. Those are at least surprisingly sturdy.
>>11559926>I have ShortosThere's your problem. Blokees is a quality line that surpasses expectation, and I glaze Jazwares.
At least this time it was 2 autists ranting about a fucking malamar and not yet another scalefag vs jazwaresfag derailed thread
Zygarde Epic
>>11559960Snek or Gundam?You can only pick one.
>>11559984Difficult choice, I love them both ahah
>>11559984Was gonna suggest to make 50% a Select and bendy like Dragapult, but both forms are gigantic.
>>11559277>mega malamar would be a great select?>it only needs bendy arms and tail and a joint for the head and that's itThen goes on to describe why exactly it would not make a good select. Three bendy limbs and one head joint is now what we want want figures to be? What the hell?
>>11559737Not often. It was part of that trio that got babies in gen 2 with Electabuzz and Magmar. But its been kinda left behind ever since it didn't get an evo.
>>11560093Still more relevant than a brick like Tyranitar.
>>11560093You saying this like if selects weren't just display pieces with 90% useless articulation, Malamar being bendy on arms and tail would basically have more posability than your favorite select lol
>>11560127>>11560147nobody wants Malamar but you. It'll never be made in the line anyway. The line is marketed as having articulation to the public and to retailers. They'll never do a figure like that where it's 99% bendy plastic and just one or two real joints.
>>11560173nta, just saying Dragapult was quite a brick too with useless joints and a bendy tail.You never know what Jazwares does, because they make worse decisions than what's thrown in this thread.
>>11560198We're talking about places to actually put the joints though. Dragpult has at least three joints in each limb plus the torso one plus the neck even if you can't do much with them. Malamar doesn't even have places were joints would make any sense. Maybe one in the base of the neck and maybe one or two on the body but nowhere else.
Lol stop with the malamar thing Not my pics but the chinese infernape seems to be in a good scale for...some lines I guess, pretty decent size
>>11560263The whole wave
>>11560274They're a bit on the small side
>>11560274lacks Pika
>>11560274>charizard Very goofy>Infernape Great, making a good looking infernape it's not an easy task>LucarioPretty good>MewtwoWhy it's so hard for everybody, even gamefreak, to have a good 3d depiction of mewtwo??? Most mewtwos are just off>Greninja Looks sillyit seems like a good toy line tho, I want to see what else they'd do in the future
>>11560288I'd never even heard of them until that Infernape showed up
Anyone collect Pokemon Kids? I just want some Horizons anime stuff. How big are they?
>>11560344They are finger puppets, measuring approximately 4 cm.
>>11560344I have cap Pika
>>11560274Needs Cinderace, Zeraora, and Meowscarada to complete the shillmon squad
>>11560288>MewtwoYeah, I really don't like the widehead they started doing at some point.Reason I'm sticking to the D-Arts/SHF.
>>11556466Its blokees easily, less fragile, near perfect modelling and better scaling
Mega evolution blokees line, cmon blokees make it happen
>>11561152>Currently only 2 waves a year>Wants to dedicate one to Megaspls no
>>11561156Transformers have like 5 blokees lines, Saint seiya 3, marvel it's going to have 4 soon, it's entirely possible if tpci allows it to happen
Got my Blokees Miku in.I expected plamo, but it's really just build-a-figma. Her head's quite top heavy though (solid, not hollow hair), so the tighter joints are a plus there.Zeraora's still pretty big next to her.
>>11561211Zeraora's 150, Miku 158 apparently.Not too bad. Mainly the style difference I think.
>>11548757Detailed map of Kanto
Got my mons. Replaced Cinderace with Psyduck because I have no love for the former.I would say this wave feels like a marked step up in quality from the first, it’s a bit crazy. Joint placement and weight distribution are excellent, I cannot believe how well Scyther stands, though the scythes do pop out if you over-contract the elbows. Snorlax honestly feels like you’re getting your money’s worth even with the limited articulation, the face gimmick is great and the stand is charming, also the Mega Punch effect is amazing.Overall I think they just picked Pokemon that make for better toys in wave 2.
>>11561614I think Lucario is great, I actually love the stand. I just already have the VAH and the paint and accessories on that eke out a win just a bit. Here’s a picture with the Shorto too, I enjoyed collecting that line but Blockees blows it out of the water.
>>11561616Also a really nice perk (not pictured) is the special cards they printed for the Gen 1 Pokemon. It’s atop the other tags they package each set with, but it has a great finish. I’ll post a picture if anyone cares, but I wanted to have all my Gen 1 Blockees in a picture together.
>>11561614>>11561616>>11561617Looks great anon, can't wait for Gundamit to ship mine.I love the extra cards Blokees adds with their releases.
>>11561614>>11561617I'd say my only complaint with Snorlax is that the angry face should've had an open mouth.
>>11561617This is the coolest pic I've seen on here in a while. That scyther is awesome.>>11561211>>11558842Are there any other electric type pokemon that that miku looks good with?
>>11561909What are other big electric figs out there.. Only Zapdos comes to mind.
>>11561937oh and Raikou
When does Jazwares lose the license? I hope it goes back to Tomy.
>>11562149Tomy does have the license, it's just that they left the action fig market, no?
>>11562156No.
can confirm the ldcx Lucario is perfectly scaled for a Smash collection *ignore the dirty table I do my custom work on there*
>>11562199Whats his height and how are they packaged?
>>11562149Hopefully soon but they seem to be doing well enough even when everything they made is discount store material
>>11562227He's around 4.5 inches to the tip of the ears
sneas
>>11562381Nigga please
>>11562199Charizard looks bad in the pic, which is a shame. It looks like a low-quality toy.
>>11562634Eh, Select Zard still looks alright, but the chinese really upped their game.Not hard when everyone else is dropping the ball though.When chinese assembly-kits like Blokees, LDCX and Keeppley mostly look better than their fully assembled jazwares/bandai cousins...
>>11562326Thanks. Might pick up a Lucario then, though I got the blokees set still on the way.
>>11562639>Eh, Select Zard still looks alrightNot really.When I see Link, who's a premium collectible figure. And then I compare him to Charizard, with his uneven plastic that goes from matte to glossy, his very visible and unsightly joints, his not-so-great proportions, even the quality of the plastic to the touch, and so on.It's obvious that he's not good quality. You don't need to know Blokee to notice that.
>>11562687>When I see Link, who's a premium collectible figure.That's.. That's the Jakks...Anything but premium kek
>>11562689You should have kept your mouth shut, because you're further demonstrating Charizard's mediocrity.This means that a simple Jakks product can look pretty and vaguely resemble a premium product. Whereas Charizard just looks retarded and blatantly poor quality.
>SHF/D-Arts releases>Gets praised>Select releases>Gets praised, SHF/D-Arts gets shit on>Blokees releases>Gets praised, Select gets shit onA vicious circle.
>>11562716*cycle. Fucking autocorrect.
>>11562716this is obviously a line of evolution/impovementSure someday blokees one will be shitty (i already see it - it has too many visible joints and his tail keeps falling off) but for now it's coolJust dont FOMO into things. I avoided Select charizard and i did good.
>>11562725Select's the charizard I keep airborne on the stand, because the other their stands are pretty shit for that.It's that I got a Charizard for everyone now: Red, Ash, Smash.
>>11562199Charizard: AHHAHAHA HE JUST STOOD IN HIS OWN DOGSHIT!
>Customs finally released my foam balls after 2 weeks>While my Blokees mons swooped in and out with no delayWere they thinking I was importing meth from Ali Express or what?I just wanna paint my balls, man.
>>11562716I think the people who think select>darts are autistic and their opinions are invalid
>>11562716Select is really the one who wastes the pic
>>11562716Oh boi, SHF/D-Arts is infinitely better than Select. Only people who are frustrated at not having SHF because it is too expensive try to reassure themselves by saying the opposite.SHF looks like a premium figure. The other one looks like an uneven and ugly bootleg.It's Blokee who completely invalidates the relevance of SHF.
>>11562868At the time I bought the knockoff SHF, while disregarding the sticky and probably toxic flame effect parts, was still pretty decent. Even after the Select came out, it still looked better imo.That jaw pic was constantly brought up, but blokees has the same thing.
Kids really be comparing happy meal toys with adult collectibles here.
>>11562716There was a review where the guy brought out their Blokees Charizard they've had for a while to compare to the newer figs and said the wings have gotten really loose. The part where it connects to the body, it starts falling down easily like the one in that pic. Has that happened to anyone?
>>11562871>That jaw pic was constantly brought up, but blokees has the same thing....No it doesn't?
>>11563065Mine's still unassembled in the box, so can't really comment.But since they're assemble kits, should be an easy fix.
>>11563090Easier than SHF at least. I'm too afraid to pull its wings out.
>>11562716>>SHF/D-Arts releases>>Gets praisedHell no. We always knew it was garbage. Truth is people only accepted it because it was the only posable Charizard ever. We praise Select because it was only better than garbage, then Blokees because it fixed D-arts.
>>11562199Waited for the ali coupons to start working.Ordered one now.
>>11562716What are the two on the right?
>>115633094th is Keeppley, 5th is LDCX.
>>11562227>how are they packaged?Unlike the other 2 chinese lines, this one's ready to go.
Once the Lucarios get here I can start a 5 v 5 match.
>>11563065My Scyther has problems but my charizard works like a regular figure
>>11562871>blokees has the same thingRagebait?
>>11564406the bottom jaw is in the same place, but the D-arts is still a shit job
>>11548704If Kinder Surpise and Pokemon got together the correct way! it would be profitable! what do you think? imagine 151 of them out there!
>>11564406Both are pretty good, even Blokee surpasses it.Luckily they're not as crappy as the Select.
>>11564532Pokemon don't like the "catch'em all" thing anymore, they only like to push their mascots
>>11564660Kinda weird, don't theynlove money? Surprised Innever say a capsule in pokeball form or blind bag of small pokemon figurines since blind bags shit is hot right now
>>11564532I had quite a few of those exact bootlegs in the pic. They were randomly in a lot of small shops. The bootleggers actually made a whole bunch of gen 3 pokes in their own molds but some were certainly a lot worse than others.
Got my foam balls in, quick first attempt because I got literally thousands anyways for 2 bucks.Looks terrible as expected from holding a 4mm ball between my fingers, but at least I know the colors will look nice.Gonna look for something to dent a ring in for the blacks, which'll also give me a better grip to hold it with tweezers next time. Then paint the reds without smudging everything.
>>11564795If you're looking for small pokeballs you can try looking into bootleg minifigs that come with them.
New>>11564814>>11564814>>11564814
>>11564815but.....
>>11564815You're way too early bro.
>>11564831As the one who wrote up the current OP template, I had wanted to add some updates and edits (ie LDCX). Oh well, next time I guess.
>>11564532Back in the day I used to buy theese $1 choco eggs that had pencil topper Pokémon figures inside. Was around 20 different figures, I think I still have some of them, like a Ralts and Squirtle.
>>11564406Blokees is the best, the head is better. Only thing the D/Figuarts has over it is the extra articulation on the inner part of the wings. And who even cares, as if it makes a big difference.The Jazwares figure isn't too bad imo. Most of the issues I had with the regular Charizard, were fixed in the Mega X they recently released.He needed double ball pegs in the tail and neck.Extra double ball peg joint in neck, and slightly longer neck.Neck joint should connect to the back of the head, diagonally not directly below it.Legs needed better sculpt and no pinsThe head needs to be resculpted, particularly the horns are too short.
