>>11611649This
>>11611649Isn't it all China where the "whacky" Pokemon stuff is made?
>>11612429pretty sure that's just some 3d printed thing
Yet another pokemon thread dying early because the stupid OP put some fucking bootleg shit
>>11612643since when so poke fans care about quality the games have always been shit
>>11612643>/pg/'s a slow general with an average of 4 posts a day>already screams dead thread like a retarded newfagIt's not like there's new shit to talk about when we're still waiting on new large blokees, but they're more interested in jurassic world and saint seiya right now
>>11612738Didnt a large wave just come out? Might as well not make a thread for another 6 months at that point.
>>11612738>>11612763The bittersweet part of Blockees is that you can expect a pretty fast release after announcement, despite the radio silence in between. Sometimes I wish more companies were the same.On the other hand, there’s no way they aren’t making bank off of their Pokemon merch, it’s so strange that they prioritize stuff like Transformers instead.
>>11612828Because hasbro wants to profit from their ips and put zero effort on it while tpci is the extreme opposite by being a bitch about anything pokemon
>>11610646>>11610848lol sheet thanks guys. But man going to check out and seeing it be like $32 with shipping.... The fact that my face is grimacing makes me question whether I actually give a fuck lol. if it was amazon this thing would be a no brainer since you can always find shit there to qualify for free shipping. Maybe when the deals come later this month they'll have some games or something I can pick up with it. otherwise....ehhh(yeah i'm a cheap fuck, but I don't think any of these Jazzware pokemon toys are worth $30+ desu) but yeah really appreciate the heads up. i'm not a huge pokemon collector by any means so coming to 4chan toy and clicking this thread is the extent of the info i get. don't think i've given a fuck about any pokemon figures that came out since Tyranitar and the dogs/beasts so not like i feel a real need to check specific groups lol.
>>11613050Get a gamestop credit card or pay with affirm or something
I want more Falinks toy, jazwares should release onea nd people would insta buy the same thing 6 times
>>11613065i'm surprised there are none. This mon was made to sell some gimmick thing at a Pokemon Center
>>11613050>yeah i'm a cheap fuck, but I don't think any of these Jazzware pokemon toys are worth $30+ desuSame. I only paid more for Necrozma aftermarket because the only cheap ones are missing their legs, stand, or both.>>11613066>>11613065Yeah, the Mega also has a fun design for them. Hope they do something with it.
>>11613188Bandai could honestly make a kit out of it like SD Gundams.
>>11613065I agree, It's weird we havent got any of them besides KIDS.
>>11611277People will go crazy for that. STitch and Angel versions are one of the hotsellers now.
The second wave of blokees figures on aliexpress seem to all be more expensive than their wave 1 counterparts for all sellers. Did they up the "msrp" or is it just a little higher cause they're new? Do you think when a third wave comes out the second wave will be priced like the first? The little more on each kinda adds up when you buy a bunch of them.
>>11613392I haven't paid attention to the L releases on Ali since I got them cheaper from Gundamit anyways, but the S-ones go on sale regularly.
>>11613392Yes, the new L wave it's been more expensive if you compare it with how you could get some of the first wave for pennies in the past. Honestly you should wait, blokees produces a shitton of their toys so a discount would surely be there in the future S class are still cheap tho, yesterdat I got the whole box for $30
>>11613392I'm guessing now they see they have some "brand name power" while at the start they wanted to get people in the door. But then again everything only gets more expensive as the months go on.
>>11613467Yea gonna wait a bit. Maybe there'll be some good deals on Black Friday or something around the corner.
This month's updated checklist. This month's new releases included:-Evolution Multi Pack Eevee #3 (pearly Leafeon and Glaceon)-Deluxe 2025 Holiday Calendar (pearly Delibird and Lycanroc among others)-4" Vinyl US Wave 5 (Pichu, Cyndaquil, Totodile, Eevee)-3" Iridescent Shine 4-pack at Big W is Australia-Five Below also got a new 2" singles wave so apparently that line isn't dead-Some Ross stores getting the most recent 3pack wave and the main Battle Pack wave (Diglett, Phanpy, Pidgeotto, Annihilape, etc)-Metagross is back at Gamestops too
>>11614755>-Five Below also got a new 2" singles wave so apparently that line isn't deadanything useful?
Has anyone bought that chinese 1/10 starmie? I'm tired of waiting for an official one
>>11614976If you're that tired, go get it. I got Nidoking and im the happiest ive ever been. Just know the hype with Mega Starmie might mean there will be a push for it
I got the Blokees squirtle. Honestly impressed how well it fits together. Excellent parts fit.
>>11614976I think it's funny they got the "certified original" label on Ali.
>>11615028Mega Construx did it better, buy that
>>11615038You might be a li'l confused
>>11614978Yeah I guess the mega has been pushing the sell of the figure because it's super fucking cheap right now and mine was shipped whitin minutes >>11615037Lol yeah, all those certified knock off nendos
>Pokemon SelectShould I get Flygon, Mewtwo or Tyranitar? I already got Rayquaza. Also meowscarada as pokepla or Blokee?
>>11615279Flygon or Ttar. They are the only good articulated figures of either of those. The Select Mewtwo isnt too good and there's other options in similar sizes.>MeowscaradaDepends on what scale you prefer. The Blokees is smaller and will look more out of place with other Jazwares Selects
>>11614937maybe caterpie or impidimp if people dont have those yet
>>11614976this one?
>>11615293>Depends on what scale you prefer.Is the articulation equal? I know that the Blokees one comes with a whole diorama, which I don't need tho.>They are the only good articulated figures of either of those.Really? From the pictures I would have thought MewTwo smockes them on that front. Which Mewtwo do yo think is better? Not the Action Function one, right?
>>11615301Yeah, the shading throws me off a bit but looks well sized, it's the stand removable?
>>11615310Seems so going off the other pics on Ali.What throws me off is how the gold ring is misaligned and the stand height differs from the promo pic.
>>11615303Jaz Mewtwo has a lot of issues. The bendy tail isn't bendy until about the half way point so it's pretty useless and often hurts the center of balance. The thing lacks some important POA like pivot ankles and good wrists. These issues make it hard to stand on its own but the peg hole for the base is drilled in incorrectly so it's awkward to get the base in there.The 5.5" Tomy one has less articulation, but nearly the same range in many areas since the Jaz joints are so bad in some areas.
>>11613288Falinks-Crotch has a hard life.
>>11615301Eh, ordered one along with a small Voltorb for the free choice shipping.Almost grabbed that Misty fig too, but the photos I see in reviews shows they cannot place her eye decals right at all.
>>11615279Can't say anything of the other two, but Flygon if he isn't price gorged
>>11615279Flygon is good.Mewtwo is bad. It not only looks wrong because of wide head, it also lacks in articulation.Tyranitar is as best as you can get.
>>11615344I think it's standing on the wrong angle, and that it only attaches by a slot for its feet
>>11615310>>11615344Yeah I have that Starmie and the stand is removable. Probably why the gold ring looks wonky, is they often have her standing on the wrong fin. I do love it, but I wish it was painted in the FLRG colour scheme like in my scale world one
Now that you all are talking about starmie, an actual articulated mega starmie figure would be so much fun, only "silly" mega I've liked so far since it's basically just starmie but stupid
Well mine shipped. The Voltorb's portably a SW knockoff though.>>11616703Would have to be the bendy kind of toy
>>11616703Like >>11616789 said, unless its a large rubbery figure with a bendy wire inside it like Gumby, how could you articulate Mega Starmie? The wide limb shapes and raised center point make any kind of articulation for the shoulders and hips impossible
>>11616934I get the feeling you collect so few toys because of your inability to conceive an articulated starfish. It would even look better than penis-hands patrick since Mega Starmie won't need interchangeable hands Some people here seem to only imagine things being possible when the figure does exactly what the character does 100% lol meanwhile we been having 20 years of mewtwos and Pikachus that can't even pose their tails properlyStop being so bitchy about wishful thinking what the fuck
>>11616948Show us a figure, any figure, with limbs shaped like Mega Starmie's that has swivel hinges like that Super 7 Patrick Star figure. Like the post above you said, the shape of the Starmie limbs prevents them from functioning as swivels, and that raised ridge down the center of the limbs makes both swiveling and hinging difficult.
>>11616948That's just a fat dude tho
>>11616948That's a horrible example. The fact you chose that as something you thought was a good example just because he's a humanoid starfish is actually hilarious! Patrick just has rather rounded limbs like so many other action figures. The ppl were saying that the flat and wide shape of Starmie's limbs is what makes it impossible to articulate and I'd agree. It's yet another case of a design that only really works as a plush.
>>11616703Seems like a good candidate for a stretch armstrong style toy.
Does it blow your mind that your longtime favorite mon has no good figures yet, until it only happens on either a whim or some specific influence?
What happened to Bandai Kids, are they still making figures?
>>11617842According to MFC, yes
>>11617842One wave is coming out in November. However, they still haven't announced the next wave for pre-order, which is due to be released in three months, as they often do well in advance. It's strange that they're taking so long
>>11617657Yes, Vikavolt has a single bandai kids toy and it's pretty hard to find
>>11617938There's also some tiny candy toy figure, like 1 inch max. I have it because it was cheap and I wanted a Vikavolt.Speaking of Kids-only, I want an Avalugg figure. It's been 13 years. Doesn't even need to be in scale, could be a moncolle for all I care.
>>11617957
>>11617657People that have some obscure middle stage have it the worst cause those rarely get made. Something like the moncolle Hattrem existing because of the anime is basically one of those rare cases. Then on the other side you have something like Loudred that gets more than the evo..
>>11617991Yeah I know but those are impossible to find
>>11617957>I want an Avalugg figureIf you dont mind customs stuff you could ask the guy who made that articulated Regice custom since he already has the same light blue resin color that Avalugg could use too.
>>11617657No, because my favorite is Charizard.
Anyone here got a Pokemon advent calendar? Are those the normal battle multi pack figures?
>>11618885Yes, but with terrible glossy finish instead.
>>11618928Yeah. Only Spheal and Vanilite would look good.
>>11618630He's the hottest
>>11618928why did they do this?
>>11619136We ask that about many of their decisions.
>>11619136the calendar sets have always been the shitty glossy paint. Ever since they started back in 2017 or whenever. The black box evolution sets stupidly have the glossy paint too which kills my interest in them too
>went to a toy shop in Honolulu>at least from older images it looked like it was>shelves exclusively of Labubu, Brick Bear, some hood rat ninja shit, and Funko>Aloha, fuckers>a wall of Poke-ee-mans cards>in front of this wall sits a 260lb man-like cererbus, guarding some character boxes that are $90 and $120 respectively>I have no fucking clue why. I think one was a Honchcrow or some shit?? Idk>these expensive boxes are out on the counter instead of inside the glass displays>despite there being cards as cheap as $5 in the case>whatever>someone ends up flipping through a book next to Big Hoss. He grunts and scoots one of the two boxes closer to him>didn't see how it unfolded>I just heard a thud and a loud, labored sigh>everyone in the Pokémon corner is huddled over as this oh so expensive boxes has a dented corner>heaven forbid>"erm... man, wow. Yeah, that was ninety dollars. Oh god. That's like the worst thing to happen.">Hoss is on the verge of snapping>doesn't ask the customer to pay for it>just keeps sighing heavily for five minutes straight>gets up to go smoke>comes back to guard the boxes once more>but like a dragon with this one with the dented corner
>>11618885They are, but with a glossy finish. The finish is hit or miss, because they trap in any imperfections that you could typically fix with alcohol or a magic eraser. However, I got my wife the newest Halloween calendar and every single one looks perfect with a nicely applied finish. Hopefully that's a sign they're trying harder with them.
>>11619996the newer figs are not made in china anymore and most have been getting much better paint jobs since then
>>11619996Rotom for some reason in the halloween calendar has extremely derpy eyes. I don't know what happened to it there.The rest of the figures don't look too bad from what i've seen though.
>>11612738Its nice Blokees is so cheap. I loved Jazwares Charizard but felt like it was missing something and was a little to tall. This is absolutely perfect and even has the translucent fire the figurearts had.
The 11-11 sales are up on ali if anyone wants to take advantage of them for Blokees or whatever else you're eyeing on there.
>>11621706anon, you darling, thanks for the reminder
>>11621706Hm, Imma wait a bit more on wave 3.
Mega Charizard pics
>>11621706I don't know how to use aliexpress
>>11617657Sceptile has a few decent ones. Nothing good for the Mega sadly but I can't complain too badly.
>>11619557Was that the shop "Da planet"? They still around?
>>11622161I can finally replace my Tomy USA's. Also Garchomp better be in the back, goddammit
>>11616789>within a week from ChinaThat's fast. Pic w/ Tomy Ash.>>11622161>That non-centered pegholeI'm triggered.
>>11622245Suicune was shown with this one at the toy convention the blurry leak pic was from a few months ago so the reprint figure of the wave might be Suicine
>>11622161fuck yeah. best Mega Charizard. kind of makes me want to get the black one too now to have both.>>11622359not gonna complain, I didn't get the other dogs and Raikou is like $100 bucks the rare time you see him pop up on ebay lol. So dumb.definetly need Garchomp to actually show up though.
>>11622350How much with tariffs?
>>11617657honestly, I'm so basic when it comes to Pokemon, I do alright. Mostly a Kanto/Johto guy. Scizor hasn't had a great attempt yet but I think Blokees will deliver in time.
>>11623373Dunno, not American.
>>11622245just got posted on a discord server i'm in. Looks like you're getting your wish. Maybe target will get it this time
>>11624686What's this picture meant for? to show off or confirm?
>>11624756theyre showing that Garchomp is in the next wave. This is packed a different way then the single that came out earlier. That one was in the bubble sideways.
>>11624686>>11624794They're putting more effort into redesigning the box than the articulation.
Just realizing that Ali starmie is prettty much a cheap copy of a resin studio figure sold also on ali but at $70 lol, honestly not bat at all I would even say that the copy probably fits much better with regular pkm toys since it doesn't have the shading nor the traslucent gem of the "original"Funny how the quality it's way ahead of jazwares while also being the cheap copy of a bootleg figure. Great figure
With the sales going on which of the L blokees would you recommend getting other than Chairzard?
>>11625130I don't think there is a single L that is not a good figure but best ones are definitely Charizard, Snorlax and Scyther
>>11625130All of them are pretty solid desu.
>>11625137Yea Scyther looks good. Undecided about Snorlax, he looks good but I kinda want someting bigger for my Snorlax. He's also more expensive than the others.
>>11624945the new wave looks much better than older ones with articulation. They are even doing pinless limbs now too. Mega Charizard Y , Scizor, Garchomp reprint, and hopefully one more new figure.
>>11625210I'm still waiting for Salamence but since there's a bunch of dragon looking guys already it's probably not this wave.
>>11623467Fellow Scizor enjoyer. I hope Blokees and LCDX both make him. I have a shelf with every Scizor figure I've ever found, and a couple other knick-knacks of him.I feel like Blokees will probably do him soon, since it looks like there's a lot of crossover in terms of which pokémon they all produce.
>>11625107What Blastoise is that?
>>11626199SHF, not D-arts. The notable differences SHF has is more teeth, and 3 toes per foot
This machop is great. Wanted a good one since Red rescue team made me play as one
>>11627410very cute.
Sprigatito wip
>>11624686What server is it from, I saw it off from an Instagram post but there was a Drifloon and Golett figure prototype that seems to be in development.
>>11625618If you don't mind sharing I'd love to see what you have on the Scizor shelf.Picrel was the first Scizor thing I had as a kid. Was never sure if it was official or where this one came from. Maybe someone can recognize it.
>>11627821Nintendo Merch Central. All the leak pics come from there and people repost without credit. There's also Quilava and Paldea Wooper pics on there that no other accounts have stolen (yet)
>>11627863>repost without creditWhat, you WANT the Nintendo Ninjas after their ass?
>>11628048no, silly. It's always a bunch of IG accounts who solely repost toy leaks that other users have found and claim to have found stuff themselves. There aren't any restrictions on showing toy prototypes or progress unless it's tired to a movie here the toys have specific embargo dates anyway.
When is big boy golurk releasing?
>>11628952we dont know. They show up when they show up
He's here!
>>11629985>>11629986I don't want no goddamn plamos
>>11630030Tough luck mate
Finally caved in to grabbing figma Raihan with the NNG sale.Don't care about him at all, but least the Duraludon, Rotom phones and ultra ball are nice.Guess I can hook him up with my select Flygon, too.
>>11630371Nobody fucking wanted this guy. He's the reason pokemon gets no figmas no more. He's not a bad figure, but we wanted other trainers instead
>>11630380True.Gonna give Gloria the Rotom phone while Selene chugs the Rotom dex around.
>>11629985>>11629986Is this going to have any articulation at all lmao
>>11631300Rotatable fins and swapable mouth is all I think.Maybe more range if they're on a ball.
My first blokees came in and the box got crushed cause the outer brown box they used was basically a perfect fit. Does anyone keep the boxes?
>>11629985JP bro won't have to carve one out of food anymore.
This thread is not even 200 replies old and already dead, thanks OP I warned you about using a retarded bootleg on first post
>Liko's got a sadistic Hatterene nowToy companies, get to it!
>>11630371>>11630380I have him mint unopened, just sitting on my shelf since he released as I actually don't care; he's too weird of a design for my display and I only bought him because he's a Pokémon figma. I do agree that he kind of killed the line. I know statistically he was very popular with Japanese women, but like, they don't buy figma - they buy keychains and stationery merch.
Man, I hope we get Pinsir soon. I want to have him displayed with Heracross.
>>11633583Same
