What's your Lego status?>Buying>Not buying
>>11694471Not. I would've gotten the Pokecenter and badges if they weren't fucking PO bonuses though.
>>11694471Not buying. While I probably would enjoy putting something together the problem with Lego for me is having it after. It doesn't really look good or match the aesthetics I have with my other stuff.
>>11694489i felt the same way with a bunch of gundam high grades. it's a fun experience snap building, but then you deal with the reality of it taking physical space in your house
>>11694471all Legos are ugly and expensive.
No one mentioned Machamp had gone up on Gundamit. Apparently got the last slot.I'm sure they'll open again soon though.
>>11694471
>>11694471Not buying
>>11694597Yeah, he's up again. ~€25.Hope I can squeeze a gun into one of his hands.
January updated checklist. New things that came out in Jan:-4" US Vinyl Wave 6 (Pika, Growlithe, Treecko, Mudkip) is out at Target-Clip n Go Wave 22 (Sandshrew, Honedge, Clefairy, etc) is out at Walmart-Clip n Go Belt Set Wave 22 (Pika and Fuecoco sets) it out at Canadian Gamestops-Amazon 2-pack with 4.5" Charizard and Squirtle is in updated packaging and back in stock-4" Vinyl Wave 13 (Charmander, Jolteon, Rowlet, Snorlax) is out in Europe >>11694932NY Toy Fair is mid-Feb. That's when we'll probably get some news from US based press or buyers
We gotta bully Blokees into making trainers
>>11696026I'll follow your lead. I'd take almost anyone.
>>11696059easy to recommend trainers that can practically be bucks of each other. Start with the player trainers, then we can get Gym leaders too
why the FUCK did they give this thing a bowtieit would have been PERFECT as a Jazwares scale Exeggutor if it wasnt for the fucking BOWTIE REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEalso it's insane how China is making soulful kantoboomerchad toys like Exeggutor and Nidoking and neither the US nor Japanese markets have it
>>11696281It's just a contest ribbon
>>11696281I seen some pics of it next to the Jazzwares stuff and its really tall even for those
>>11696305He big
>>11696316
Part of these other xmas ones I assume
>>11696316oh yeah thats too huge
>>11696316how tall is Ash? because if he's under five feet then he's actually taller than he is supposed to be when next to eggboy
>>11696339iirc Tomy is slightly shorter than the SHF and Red figma.
>>11696281The bowtie literally improves the design. Plus your pokemon canonically can wear ribbons and bows, one day GF will likely make them visible on the mon.Your loss though.
>>11696322Want them mice
>>11694471Not buying any of these first batch ones. Eevee would probably be the only one I might consider at that price point but Pikachu and the Trio are way too expensive for me.I doubt if Lego would do mini packs/mini sets like Mega did but thats one of the benefits they had over Lego. There was a wide range of playsets to build with small Pokemon and then they had the bigger model sets. I have a feeling Lego is going to stick strictly with adult collector stuff
>>11696694The Mega pokeballs with a small Pokemon were great for what they were. They get to reuse the ball over and over and it's nice from a packaging standpoint too. I don't see Lego having an equivalent product.
>>11695632Noivern is supposedly in Smyths but I can't fucking find it anywhere, and the website says it's not in stock.
>>11697722I bought him at dutch Smyths a while back.I see he's out of stock there now though.Other option would be waiting for Amazon I guess.
>>11694898You're a faggot
>>11697722You ask employees, right?
I just got the Blokees Meowscarada and I think it’s amusing that they sculpted in a bit of a butt for it
>>11698413based
Gundamit's prompting full payment for Machamp now.Still waiting for them to even ship Nidoking though.
>>11694471Nope. Any product they make will forever be inferior to keeppley and mega
I saw they made an 8" version of their vinyl Gengar. If they ever put their Snorlax in that deluxe size it'd be a solid alternative to the piggy bank some people use.
>>11696316>>11696334>>11696339Exeggutor is actually supposed to be huge, IIRC theres anime episodes where pikachu and meowth are like riding on his leaves>>11696283>>11696657What if I want to use him as a wild exeggutor? Or have a herd of exeggutors? Why would they all have ribbons? My ONLY chance to get an exeggutor and they couldnt even make the ribbon removable. Truly a tragedy for exeggutorfags everywhere
>>11700554None of your pokemon toys are wild. You caught them. You might as well buy this one and buy another Exeggutor later
>>11700554Tentacruel was as tall as skyscrapers in one episode too, so it's also supposed to be that large? Most people consider the pokedex height to be gospel. Anime sizes are all over the place.
>>11699426Based
Can anyone confirm if they repainted the new 3-pack pidgeotto?
>>11701186no, higher saturation on the second photo
>>11694471I want S1 anime shit to pander to my Pokemania boomer nostalgia. I can see a generic Pikachu or Kanto starter any time I boot up the latest games but you can't see Ash or anime Misty or Brock anywhere anymore.
>Mega Scizor>10cm gachaponT-Thanks Bandai...
>>11702053That is a very odd pick for one of two (the other is M Lucario, the usual one) for a premium gacha. Also what's the point of a glorified statue? So many gacha offer great poseability nowadays.
Some comparisons from a review.
>>11696026It sucks both Figma and Figuarts never went far with their pokemon lines. All I'm asking for is a good articulate figure of Dawn and Serena, and they both shit the canned with their lines picking to do Reihan and a huge ass Pikachu that doesn't scales with anything.
Ok, this is actually very nice, and I want them to do Kabutops next.
>>11703154The skeleton is cool, but Jazwares made a good Tyrantrum already
>>11702803Tomy made Serena and Ash, at least. Dawn we really need because Jakks sucked
>>11703279I am solely getting the two fossil kits for their skeletons
>>11702130Well, at least he’s bigger than Nidoking.I am curious about the range on the knees, as this will be the first Blockees figure I have with double-joints. So there’s an occasional hint at what the L-size kits are going to be from the S-size sets, as with Munch/Riolu/Scor/Chop. I wonder if there’s any predictions to be made about the latter half of this wave (if there is one, they might be moving away from that format) from what we already have. Praying it’s not that fucking duck.
>>11703696>I am curious about the range on the knees, as this will be the first Blockees figure I have with double-jointsKnee range is horrible. It's basically a single hinge joint only with the appearance of a double. I saw it in a review video of it here - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xhdbyyrUpwo
>still no jazwares line for this year revealWhy
>>117045434 days
>>11704543Soon, they were specifically mentioned by Pokemon a few days ago.
>>11704998Nice, good news
this is what i'm still looking forward toi'm a sucker for animatronic plush
>>11706346Where does it say that's plush? Sounds like another electronic toy like their large light up Charizard
He's so cute bros
chandelure coming?
>>11706623Source for pic?Looks like an AI thing, unless they redesigned the package.
>>11706441i'll take plastic or plush, either is finebut i do think it's gonna be this year's headliner and they even call it "impressive," so i do think it's gonna be motorized
>>11706708>they even call it "impressive,"What are they supposed to do? Call their own products crappy? This is a press release put out by them
>>11706623OHHHH I love Chandelure! I've been waiting since the Litwick figure for others from the line
>>11706623Missed opportunity to make it light up not like Chandelure is known for being super articulated.
>>11706779>This is a press release put out by themit isn't, actuallygot it from this magazine off issuu.com
>>11706788They get info from the companies dude. How else are they going to know about unreleased items?
>>11706789they're a press companythey got a direct look at the products as other press outlets did at the london toy fair when normal influencers and visitors did notand if it wasn't worth reporting on then it wasn't worth showing, much less talking about
>>11706647It's missing the J logo on the bottom left and the Warning words at the top. My initial reaction was that it was fake at first glance with it looking off. The black and white outline Chandelure art also doesn't look like something they'd ever do even if they changed the box design.
>>11706799Press releases always make any stupid items sound like the best thing in the world. That's marketing. I wouldn't think anything of it.
>>11706805they still know the difference between holiday products and impulse buysand from what i've searched this is the only source that has any details on those two things specifically
>>11706623What's with the extra parts? I'm suspicious
>>11707096Chandelure is called Lugulabre in French.Of course it's fake.
>>11704998>30th inspired merchInteresting
>>11706623This is AI everyone. It's really obvious
>>11703279which i still haven’t been able to fucking find because jazwares is too stupid to get their products on shelves
>>11707585Not everything is AI bro
>>11707590I had to pay a payment plan to get one. I hate that I had to do that...but now i have it
>>11707591Ok boss, let's ignore that the packaging is incorrect, the figure doesn't even make sense the way it's disassembled, it looks blurry as hell since it's AI
>>11701375>but you can't see Ash or anime Misty or Brock anywhere anymoreIt's amazing that the best 1:12 scale figures of Misty and Brock are AliExpress bootlegs. I hope based AliGODS make more gym leaders and Ashnime characters
>>11707832>>11707832photoshop. You're free to use the "that uses AI" argument, but the source used was photoshop
>>11707928It's both. AI to create the render of Chandelure since it doesn't make logical sense the way it's broken up. Then Photoshop used to do the packaging text and graphic since AI can't do that.
>>11707943And then still get the text wrong
>>11707925can you link me up with that misty please?
>>11707995Literally just go on Aliexpress and search for Misty pokemon figure. They constantly add and take down lots.
>>11708357...thx
>>11708357I see 13~15cm on them.You probably don't have SHF Ash to put them next to?I think Tyranitar was also 15.
>>11706522Lego?
>>11708633yep that's the one>You probably don't have SHF Ash to put them next tono but I have team rocket
>>11709299man I want that misty so bad I'm gonna nut, somebody give me a link I cant find her
>>11709422Nobody give it to him. Edge him
>>11709456had to use a proxy site to find them, I cant access aliexpress normally for some reason and when I search for anything it never gives me a relevant result
>>11703154there's so much potential with fossilmons. made to resemble actual bones/fossils, things like an Aerodactyl skull, Tyrantrum tooth, or Kabuto in rock piece would be excellent
>>11709460>>11709422https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256810105556151.html
>>11709549You can stuff aerodactyl in some clay at least.
https://gonintendo.com/contents/57675-handheld-trivia-game-pokemon-trainer-ultimate-launching-later-in-2026
>>11709945Pokemon Akinator?
>>11709718>https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256810105556151.html
>>11709948Akinator with 151
>>11709299>Brock 15cm>Misty, Team-Rocket 14cm>Ash 13cmtbf they undersized Team Rocket, but I think for the trio it'll work.
>>11710205It's still the closest thing to 1/12 trainers we'll getI wonder if theres a way to contact AliExpress to make Professor Oak, Officer Jenny, Nurse Joy, Sabrina, etc etc
>>11710442That's like asking Ebay to make pokemon figma.
>>11710493well those bootlegs had to come from somewhere rightyou can (technically) contact figma how do you contact these bootleggers
>>11710496That's the hard part, as they're all pretending to be Takara Tomy, Bandai etc.
Looks amazing, but lmao at the random Forfrou in a gen 1 focused cabinet.https://youtu.be/78q_9-6PBSY?si=ZcqsT2ffG6JK7off
Is there anywhere I can order the Tyrantrum model kit still? Not my pic
>>11710999Pokemon Center JP still has him.https://www.pokemoncenter-online.com/4573102720214.html
>>11711026I’m guessing they don’t ship overseas though?
>>11710999HLJ threw me under the bus of backorder hell again and now with their new shit policy can't even cancel.
>>11711045Correct, you're going to need to buy it through a proxy service and then get them to shipped it to you.
>>11710999That's a lot of stickers. Better off staying a skeleton. Plus he gets knee articulation.
second chance Incineroar and another 4" Gengar
is this really all they're showing for toy fair?or am i missing something?
>>11711496Only plus it has over the TOMY so far are the hands.
>>11711568What's up with the new white boxes?>>11711571And no pins. But even just the hands is a pretty big upgrade in terms of what you can make him do.
Took them long enough. Almost feel like waiting for the Blokees at this point.
>>11710205>We don't want statues.>Let's buy statues anyway, because they're 1/12 scale.
>>11711845>we
>>11711496>>11711568Any pics with new minifgs spotted?
>>11711830Blaistoise a tough design to make a toy out of.
here we go
Wattrel, Alolan Sandsrew and some different Deerling.
>>11711496Is that Incineroar one of those Target Selects?
>>11714094exactly
>>11711665>What's up with the new white boxes?30 years aniversary>>11711568>Puting Pikas in Mewtwo and Mew bundle to rise the priceRUDE AND VILE
Did this 3pack wave ever come out? I saw the Weavile one, but then I saw the Porygon one later

Others show are repeats from other years>All of the Christmas figures are repeats from other years>Pretty sure Candy Cane Pikachu is a new plush, others are repeatsRegular Figures:>New Winter Tree Environment Set w/ Alolan Sandshrew & Winter Form Deerling (A. Sandshrew is new + first release of non pearly Winter Deerling)>New Gallade, Amarouge and Ceruledge 4.5 Battle Figures>some new multipacks shown (I think?); Metapod is a new figure>Wattrel and Buizel are new figures>New Epic series Golurk>New 6" Select Incineroar shown with upcoming Blastoise and Charizard Y as well>Raichu is definitely new in the Vinyl figures, not sure about the others since some are out, some aren't but are upcoming, and Jazwares distribution is dogshit so we don't even really knowRegular Plush:>Buneary, Wooper and Swablu are new in the normal 8" plush>new 18" Sleeping Mew >new 24" Growlithe >Dragonite Hugmee Squishmallow is new, as is the Snorlax keychain. I think the others have been revealed/are outMost everything else show off is either recently released, upcoming or something we already knew was coming soon
>>11714164I saw that one last year alongside single Floragato.
>>11714164At least released in europe
>>11714448Are there pics of the Gallade, Armarouge and Ceruledge battle figures? Those haven't been posted here yet.Never been a fan of them doing double ups with recent selects like those 3. If anything it woulda been nice to get a smaller Zeraora. The select one is huge.
>>11714542>The select one is huge.Alpha Zeraora
>>11713682nice
>>11714164Here in ecuador costs around 14
>>11714542Here's a link to the full gallery from Nintendo World Report. It was great they got so many pics; most people reporting from Toy Fair either just took a few pics of the figures or they just went for all the FNAF bullshit
>>11714692Oops, forgot to actually put the linkhttps://www.nintendoworldreport.com/feature/74320/toy-fair-new-york-2026-roundup-jazwares
>>11714692Bit fatter than the select
>>11714692I always envision Armarouge just standing there but that pose makes sense for a battle figure. It's offering something a little different from the more articulated options
>>11714728all toys with action features in them are fat
>>11714448Good looks. Thanks for the summary mate
Behold the ultimate powa
>>11713278https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RkiVas7ABWoAnother look at the Jazwares stuff and you get to see the motion pikas in action.
>>11709011it's another building company with the official license in asia called keppley, i'm sad they stopped doing these, they're mega cute
>>11716218still pissed the magazine from which i heard about that plastic pikachu i posted typed it such that they made it sound that jazwares was developing two pikachu toys of their own instead of just that one and the puppetronic from wow stuffalso their puppetronics are goddamn overrated, give me the real animatronic shit like what mattel and hasbro put out in 2008 and 09
Fuck yeah, more trainer merch. I hope this all leads to us getting more articulate figures.
>>11716566>Banpresto craneNah, expect them milking outfits for those prizefigs instead.Look how insane they go into Re:Zero, EVA and Elaina.
>>11716566Not a fan of those white outfits from masters but I'd get something more generic like summer versions for the heck of it. But really they should just do normal outfits.
>>11716264>Wrex the dawg>Drex>cruncher the dinosauri miss those so much
>>11716566What size are they
>>11717263jar sized
>>1171726314 -15cm, so as tall your average size figma figure
>>1171726314cm for this one
>>11716566>more articulate figures.is this a statue?
Happy it came in the mail but I didn't know you HAD to have its skeleton built already to make the final productShould I get a second one cuz I REALLY like both
>>11717886Cheap enough if you want to.I already got the epic, so just skeleton mode for me.
>>11717627No
Gen 10 starter moncolle confirmed for a pokemon day reveal.
>>11718545HOO BABY. I love that feeling where more pokemon exist, but they havent been invented yet
>>11718545It's nice that we'll have the gen 10 ones right off the bat like that. What's the cost for a set of 3?
>>11718670$20~ each
>>11718545Did they say the moncolle will be revealed then?Without explicitly saying that it is probably just a graphic they made
>>11718692Was hoping they'd be less than that. Basically about the same as buying 3 individual moncolles, maybe even a little more.
>>11718705NTA, I dont know about the 30th sets, but individual starter moncolle are usually around $3 or $4. But maybe a set will be slightly more for that anniversary branding. I dunno.
>>11718701Yes
>>11718784Single moncolle are officially like 650yen so when person said around "$20" I'm guessing it meant around 2000yen which is roughly exactly x3. Like ignoring currency conversions and just looking at the yen price was hoping it'd be like around 1500. It adds up if you wana get all of them.
>>11718545>Gen 10 starter????????????????????????
>>11718831Turns out 2145Y is about $14. while singles cost about $5. You're still getting a deal
>>11718883Use your words, Billy.
>>11717943I'll probably do that since the end result is less articulate than SkeletrumAccompanied by Moncolle & 1/20 Zukanslop
>>11719869The stickers are kinda ass but overall I had a lot of fun building it
>>11719871>tfw forgetting to snap a before pic of the aforementioned skelly
>>11719869>>11719871>>11719872Jazwares screwed up with Tyrantrum's distribution. I had to buy it on amazon on a payment plan
Bought this today because I don’t know
>>11720022bootleg? Mimikyu is the shiny paint one and Pawniard should be there instead of Piplup
>>11719871>>11719869What parts are stickers? I hate the stickers on their things and they ruin the figures for me. Is it just the orange parts on the red skin but not the orange spikes?
>>11720333The only orange plastic is the crown & tail spikes, whereas the eyes/stripes down the body/under the feet are all straightforward but due to the multiple plastic seams coming together most of them are in 2 parts (dividers shown in blue) which only increased the amount of stickers on the sheet in a total of 37.Worst part thogh was the godamn upper teeth, they were so tiny & are only staying intact because they "wrap" around themselves with creases in each sticker like wtf.
>>11720331Looks real, someone probably just wanted Pawniard and did a figure swap. Swapped out the Mimikyu for a shiny paint one while they were at it.
>>11720348Darn. That sucks. The stickers are always ugly but the ones they have you wrap around round parts like the teeth are impossible to make look good. I hate those :(. I would rather pay a few bucks more and have more parts molded or painted in the correct color to avoid stickers.
>>11720331>>11720356These were from aldi in australia, I noticed all the alakazam ones had the piplup swap. Didn’t notice if all the mimikyus were shiny but probably.
>>11720348I always considered hate a atrong word, and don't use it sparingly, but I HATE stickers. I always thought this was them cheaping out on stuff, and while I could very well be right, I've learned there are people over there that truly enjoy the stickers and I wish I coukd understand it. It's nice when I see JP collectors also complain about stickers though.
>>11720348Whoops, miscounted & forgot the sticker in the ROOF of the mouth where no one can fucking see it for the actual total of 41
>>11720453>I've learned there are people over there that truly enjoy the stickers and I wish I coukd understand itThat's weird but I guess I can see why. They probably like the process of applying the sticker? Like you're already building something so I guess there are people that enjoy the sticker portion of the process.
>>11720331Dunno if the bootlegs have wave numbers like that charmander and piplup.Doesn't help that jazwares dogshit qc makes them hard to distinguish from fakes.
>>11720705Bootlegs do have the silver numbers on the bottoms too. The QC on all the newer stuff out of vietnam is much better though and actually almost always looks painted much more nicely than all the wct or jazzwares things made in china
>>11720738If they're bootlegs those are some pretty well painted ones. The Pawniard swap thing on all of them is weird though, you might as well go all the way and make them indistinguishable from the real thing.
>>11720791>If they're bootlegsthey look great unlike these >>11715110
>>11720906Those are dog shit bootlegs. Many are super similar to the official releases and only have minor paint issues or different plastic types.
Anybody see the Starmobile toys from the Japan centers yet? Apparently they were released last May but no one's reviewing them
>>11721819You're wrong, they'll be out in may 2026.Preoders are available on some websites like meccha japan.
>>11721832oof. how dare they announce it a year ago
