>>11696859Let's be honest. /ctg/ is basically Snail Shell General. That brand is allowed but it's a bit redundant to post about it here. I'm liking everything else I see on the list.
>>11696861True, but there are plenty of toys that get talked about in multiple threads. Like sexy Figma girls in Figma gen and /ctg/ or Berserk in Figma/SHF gen and the Fantasy figure general.I just wasn't going to exclude what is probably the most popular Chinese brand right now. Especially since they seem to be starting to make things that aren't necessarily coombait like the Jar Mimic. Though you just know that's someone's fetish.
Is there a way to view Weibo posts/profiles without having an account?I was able to read posts and comments like a month ago but I think Weibo made an update now requires you to make an account
>>11696831>sexy ICE>exterminates invasive insectoidsUm, I'm thinking this line is BASED.
>>11696904Finally, the name makes sense!
What are your expectations for this WF? What do you hope to see?
>>11696922Hopefully Sexy Ice Lilica, the red god official figure prototype. An Unkval female unit. Unkval heavy sniper or marksmen in navy blue. Various other companies competing with their own Human Insect Hybrid mutant figures at 1/12 scale.
>>11696880I can still see them on my phone, but I got what you got when I tried on a 'puter today.
>>11696880Can't see them now either dagnabbit, I used to see pics and stuff but now it requires an account in both my phone and computer.
Finally the general everyone waited for, we can use it to post smaller brands here without constant bitching from purists. Anyways, is Sexy Ice going to be Bombusbee exclusive? This will kinda piss me off, I hate exclusives, it's not very collector friendly. On Gundamit a lot of things are missing, like the dogs, and preorders are already sold out, when no painted prototypes were even shown.Never used Bombusbee before, do they have free shipping to Europe too?
>>11696859>No storm collectiblesIt's over...
>>11697001>Bombusbee exclusiveI don't think so. No online storefronts seem to have every release. I forgot the dogs existed because they're so unobtainium. Also I hope the guy that owns pic related calms the fuck down once Unkval Anaconda Unit is up for preorder.
>>11697089I mean, the anon did say to add more lines to the list. And Storm doesn't have a general either, so it's welcomed here.
>>11697133Damn, look at that ass
>>11697142Yeah he's got cake
>>11696961I would love to see a female Unkval, for now there's the upcoming dogs and Locust, can't say no to the Red Dragon either.Right, I forgot the bug frenzy hasn't stopped, I think Romankey is going to release a scorpion monster soon.
>>11697001I made my first PO (UK) on there the other day, looked like shipping would be free when I checked out but I figured might go up when the item is actually in stock.
>>11696831>>11696859Is this thread just for original characters from Chinese companies or does it include all the third party/IP infringing toys from China like >>11697153 and pic related (that are not Transformers since they already have a general)?
>>11697089>>11697133>>11697142>>11697142OP here. I personally have nothing against Storm Collectables, but they encompass a huge amount of IPs that all have generals on /toy/ already. I would limit it to IPs that ONLY Storm Collectables makes figures for at this time. >>11697156I'm on the fence about popular IPs and think they're a bit too volatile concerning thread discussion vs. shit flinging about which brand is a better "figure" for each popular character. Probably not. There's a reason Third Party Transformers is it's own general.
>>11697119>I forgot the dogs existed because they're so unobtainium.They never solicited the dogs. We only got prototype images?
>>11697214>They never solicited the dogsI'm so happy I was wrong. Very cool, so they might show up at Wonfes and go up for preorder this year.
>>11697217Possible, yeah.
>>11697156So pissed that I missed out on this one, hoping the Cammy one is good.>>11696922>>11696961From what they've shown of her so far, she's a heavy retool of the Mantis Girl, which isn't a bad thing but I would also like a different female body instead of just "twiggy."I'm a bit worried that they're announcing a bit too much, but I love that weird Locust Unkval guy so I'm hoping that's next on the docket after the dogs. I can't believe I have all four of their releases. I would say the only one I feel is overhyped is Manticore.
>>11697236>I'm a bit worried that they're announcing a bit too muchYeah we have the dogs, Locust, Red Dragon, and they've also teased Scorpion, Ant, the witch, those weird ass Polynian-looking robots and now pic related as exclusives. It's just too much, I think Sexyice just releases 3 toys per year right?
Thoughts on “Powerspotoy Xpedion 1/12 Steel Thunder Special Force Tactical Arm & Platform” ? Is this the right thread? Deluxe version has lots of fun monster parts
>>11697447I think this is the right thread, no idea who the character is but I dig the design.
>>11697267>ScorpionWasn't this one Romankey?
>>11697466they've posted a promo piece for scorpion but no prototype. another company (not even sure if it was romankey) that had a prototype for a scorpion person last wonfest or some other show.
>>11697466Nope, Sexyice also teased their Scorpion a while back
>>11697488>>11697492These chinese companies have been really going hard on the literal bugmen. It's a really cool aesthetic but overlapping like this I'd probably have to choose one over the other. Just based on the silhouette I'm probably liking the other one better, whoever is making it. May have mixed it up with Romankey's ant with the swords and cursed arm or something.
>>11697496bug people is definitely a thing, there were like half a dozen different companies doing at least one at wonfest. I'm not sure if there's some specific impetus for it, or it's just a way to be different from the big muscly dudes and sexy ladies that make up most of the rest of the market without being too far from either.
>>11697447>full price: Unknown for nowDang it
>>116975035k's got the regular at $100 and the deluxe at $120 plus shipping
>>11697153Is that fucking D!?
>>11697498Because they are trying to copy the success. Same with Jada, they made the Street Fighter 2 line which got really popular, so now everyone is doing SF figs.For me, how Sexy Ice is standing out is the 80s/90s anime dark cyberpunk vibe.
>>11697508Oof, way over my budget, it looks cool though.
>>11697611Hell yeah. I couldn’t not PO and pray he ends up good, never expected to see him as a figure at all. Pretty sure he’s gonna be fucking massive, but it’s D, so…
>>11697119>highly articulated toys>pose it in the most boring shit ever
>>11697729>80s/90s anime dark cyberpunk vibeI feel the same. Every character looks like they walked off the poster of a gritty 80s anime sci fi OVA. I want a blue Unkval in homage to AD Police Files.
>>11697813Funnily enough AD Police Files had a 1/15 Boomer action figure with two static officers play set.
got my second smasher that i ordered and now i kinda dont wanna open it, may wait a year and probable sell it for buying more sexy ices its weird having this feeling?
i really dont like these ones sexy ice designers are really strong, these are just chink shit
>>11697823>weird having this feeling?It's okay, anon. You're reaching the next stage of collecting. Enjoyment, but also investment in the future of your collection. I forgot to mention Hasuki is welcome here too.
>>11697823>>11698126This. It's a smart hedge when it comes to SexyIce figures.I don't know these manufacturers, but they're doing a not-Kroenen. They claim it's 1:12, but the chaihezi blurb days 17cm.
>>11698055meanwhile I find all the guys with guns stuff dull and like the cool bug people.
>>11697119>>11697753It's some noveau-riche tuhao/fuerdai brat flexing their wealth without any thought, of course they can't pose for shit....I dunno why but SexyIce scratches my itch for super-posable Space Marines. I'd shell cash out if they actually went as bulky and big as McFarlane or Bandai's while keeping the whole super-articulation schtick.
>>11697142Better than figma 2b if we are being objective.
>>11698055He just looks like somebody microwaved Kamen Rider Gills.
Please let this General die. CTG is more active. A Snail Shell General would be better. This is just sad and pathetic. Pretty soon half the thread will be one poor bastard replying to himself.
>>11698729Should just make it a Chinese action figure general.
>>11697823and everyone thinking the same as you btw after the first unkval shit>>11698769well looking at people sharing many chink brand, just post any chink toys you want to discuss than
>>11698729Shonen Toys General died because it was reliant on popular brands and that invites the brand war shitposter. Fighting Game Toys General died because the amount of fighting game character toys is small compared to the various video games and their huge rosters. /ctg/ is infested with an AI sped that's killing the threads early by hitting the image limit spamming his (de)generated garbage. >>11698769SexyIce2019 is a recognizable brand among this board. A Chinese Third Party General was attempted months ago but that as the OP title is obviously too vague. We need a central brand to jumpstart discussion around here. Think Busou Shinki & Friends as the template.
>>11698729Snail Shell can be discussed here as well, along with the other chink shit like Keepgoing Studio, except here we can also talk about Keepgoing's Romance of the Three Kingdoms stuff that doesn't fit in /ctg/. Along with every other chink toyline that doesn't have a thread to call home. Seriously, there are dozens of toylines on Gundamit that never get discussed on this board because they don't fit other threads. Also it would be nice to be able to find out about things like Fury Toys and Maestro Union releases without having to go in the dogfucker general and read their degenerate garbage.
>>11698948I’m very excited for the Lu Bu i’ve seen up on hktoybox and other sites, I really hope they make a Red Hare too.
I feel like /ctg/ has a very specific purpose whereas there are figures from Sexy Ice, Snail Shell etc that could find a place there but are acceptable elsewhere. There are a number of Chinese toy companies making transformers or other recognizable IPs that maybe wouldn’t be considered fair game here?I would just like to have a thread to talk about some releases without having to deal with AI art or people who are upset about diluting a general (both are fine, just not what I want to spend time discussing). I understand that could simply be “A thread about toys!” But I sometimes post there and people have no knowledge of these brands.
>>11698959I think a Chinese 3P general could work really well without specifically intended horny figures and more interest in cool releases, but I’m sure it would still attract annoying thread derailing spergs if it became popular. As it is people are using /ctg/ to post non-horny Chinese figures, another space would be good.
>>11698954There are at least 3 different companies doing Lu Bu, and I almost have choice overload. I think 303 toys has the best looking one, even if it is a bit pricey.
anyone else wish some of these random solider guys had accessory packs so you could just get some fun scifi guns and shit without shelling out for a dozen different armored goons?
>>11698979I wonder if the Kaiyodo Accessory Pack would fit into his hands.
>>11696961>Unkval heavy sniper or marksmen in navy blueBlue colorway would be cool. I wonder if they will do more “themed” variants like the football one. >>11697119Crazy this guy got 18 of 198 made. Sucks this was so limited because I probably like this color scheme the most out of the three unks so far. Need to see more pics of anaconda but it looks nice too. Seems like the recolors are better than the originals
>>11699002>Seems like the recolors are better than the originalsthe red already fixing the gap of the eliminator. with this many recolor they will be like warhammer kek
>>11697203What do you count as a popular IP? For example, for Resident Evil, the only modern action figures are unlicensed third party ones from Chinese companies (unless you count Nendoroids) and this thread seems like the only place that makes sense to talk about them
>>11698959>>11698962This is both SexyIce2019 and the Chinese 3P General for toy lines that have no 1/12 nor 1/6 equivalents in the mainstream toy industry. I would include 1:18 as well but they have their own general already.>>11699015Resident Evil and IPs that do not have wide release articulated figures are welcome. See >>11697203
>>11699002>Seems like the recolors are better than the originalsI pray Sexyice would release a full gitd figure
>>11699059what are some quality gitd figures out there? I'd genuinely wonder if it would pose any material quality issues, the only full gitd figures I can think of are like 90s kids toys, and usually kinda chunky ones. is there any kind of brittleness or similar issues with gitd?
>>11698979Yeah, that would be great. A less optimal option is Chinese eBay sellers parting them out.
>>11696961Now I want a Frogs inspired UnkvalIm sad I didnt have a job when they released the other two they look fun to pose and I really dig the aesthetic.
>>11698974From all the 3 Kingdoms I have seen so far I like Damtoys/Fusion Fantasy ones the most. I don't collect those but I like their semi-realistic stylization and quality looks pretty good. I'm looking forward their Heroes 3 of Might and Magic line. Want to do full splurge on it.
My Smasher finally came, he's really cool. I can't wait for the Ananconda Strike version.
>>11699193Holy fucking shit the balljoint that connects to the shoulder is stiff as hell, shock oil and hairdyer are not helping this time. Am I out of options?
>>11699374Drop him in hot sink water for a couple minutes, pop off the shoulder pad, and pull the joint out? Shock oil only works it it gets in the part that's tight.
>>11699383Oh right, I forgot about hot water. Do you know if it's easy to pop the shoulder off? I know Manticora has that function but I'm not sure if it's as easy with the Smasher.
>>11699397base on absolutely no experience, I assume it's the same or similar joint assembly, so why not?
>>11699397No disrespect at all to >>11699383 but I remember a few cases of damage at this exact section of the body, maybe check with Sexy Ice themselves just in case, I'm sure you can contact them via their Instagram ? I hope your issue gets resolved, anyway.
>>11699399>>11699404Thanks, I will do that and hopefully I don't end up breaking my toy.
>>11699407I'm mainly saying to contact them because they use a very specific type of plastic (POK) for some of their joints, which is otherwise pretty much never used in toys and I don't know how it reacts to heat or other treatments, so you may want to get as much info as possible before attempting stuff. I've read it's a high-end material but I don't know much about it myself and I wouldn't want you to damage your figure, even more so since it's going to be pretty much impossible to replace at a good price.
>>11699408This is true, and I forgot Sexyice figures use a different material.
>>11699383>>11699399>>11699404>>11699408Well shock oil ended up doing the trick lol, both shoulders move smoothly now, I'd say even better than the Eliminator.
>>11699496Smashing good save there, mate.
>>11698055I think it is a sick design, specially the alt head with the mask. it is like a carapaced knight blazer.
Got a question about chinese-made base bodies:I've got a Wind Toys male body and am considering also buying a Romankey male body since the articulation in the Wind Toys' legs sucks and the hands can't grip well due to being too loose/small to grab things with only a 3mm hole.So, is it possible to swap the hands of the Romankey onto the Wind Toys body, and is it possible to pop them in half and use the Romankey's hips and legs on the Wind Toys body?
>>11699680Yup yup, here's a shitty pic because I can't pose for shit.
>>11699803I'm working on getting better at it too. More and more I'm trying to buy only figures that can do nearly anything articulation wise. Good for you for actually posing and playing around with them though.
I'm not sure if this is the right thread, do you guys know if Gundamit penalizes you if you cancel a preorder? I know Amiami is pretty anal about that and can even delete your account if you do that repeteadly.There's this item I quite like but not quite like at the same time, I paid the po just to secure it, but now I'm having second thoughts about it, and was thinking on cancelling it to get other stuff.
>>11696961I hope we see her in this WF
>>11699880just ask them on the website anon, i ask them about anything (not canceling yet) and they answer
>>11699896I shall do
>>11699880Unless the order has a non-refundable PO (stated on the item page), they will even refund your PO as points to use for something else. Surprisingly lenient.
>>11699803Very little gaps showing, natural poses for the Unkval except the JoJo BA hand-to-face but hey rule-of-cool, right? The blurriness almost gives the Unkvals a comic book speed lines effect. The Manticora looks like that one Praying Mantis that fans out its limbs to appear bigger to predators.
fuckin hype for the full reveal of anaconda strike unkval i can't wait for wonfes. the fomo has gotten too strong so I think I'm finally gonna get one
>>11700084One of us, one of us!
I'm messing around with the new Unkval with no silver bars on like this >>11699193 but with the white helmet....and it looked very familiar to me. Then I realized the white and red centre head with the red and grey body....oh it's Guncannon with no cannons LOL. Now I can't unsee it and really want to put together some shoulder cannons for him. Luckily there are 4 holes on his back but I think I still need a good base piece to have the cannons on instead of attaching directly to the tiny holes. That would look weird. Man it sucks the face pieces aren't interchangeable. The green visor with the white helmet that's practically Guncannon's head!
>>11700156Biggest mistake of Sexyice was not making the heads interchangeable. I like the green-eyed face but not with the white cap. I've seen people try to change them but I don't dare mess aroung with it.
>>11700178I really don't understand why they did this. All they needed to do was NOT glue the pieces together. That's one step that could save them a good amount of money too.
Best place to order? I usually get my stuff like this from 5k.
>>11700190Beats me anon, it also would've been funnier to create more faces. Not to mention the wealthy autists that would definitely have bought even more units just for the sake of having all alt heads. They missed such a big chance, the poor idiots.
>>11700191I'd also recommend Bombusbee and Gundamit.
>>11700193It looks like it won't matter with Anaconda since the colour scheme seems to be the same. Or there isn't a second top half of the helmet and it's all just face changes.
>>11700204Yup, that's a reason I want him, I wish the normal Smasher had the cap in red too though.
>>11700191I've gotten all my sexyice so far from amiami. I was a little surprised 5k never got any
>>11700280Nta but seriously? That's crazy
Is someone getting Hiya toys Contra Bill?
>>11699950Hehe, I tried to give him a Yujiro stance pose for Manticora. Manga and comics are good reference material. But also Red Note and Instagram since I can copy stuff from there.
>>11700470Cool shot. The panel lining on Unkval is so distinctive and candy red color so crisp that even with the slight blurriness the overall design jumps out as instantly recognizable.
>>11699801Still looking for answers here. Are there other hand pieces that can be swapped in the place of a Wind Toy's hand set?
>>11696859I got these guys from KeepGoing recently. They're great.Also ordered a bunch of the skeletons they just announced.
looks boring compared to manticora
>>11696831This is probably a phenomenally dumb question, but is there a way to get replacement parts? My Manticora took a tumble when the gripping stand didn't grip quite as well I thought it would and now I can't find a piece of the broken horn.
>>11700723I think it looks cool, and it looks to have nice range. It is also very humanoid, but armored. Since it has weapons it feels like it could be a more advanced iteration of the B0 series. Like if Manticora was the big dumb but powerful brute, then this guy has all that power condensed, along with intelligence. Manticora strangely gives me a feeling that it's smart though, but that might just be the way I stand it.
>>11700748>very humanoidi think this why i dont like it, i want them looks monstrous instead
>>11700758Agreed, but it gives me mc vibes. Like that scorpion, whoever is making it, or Manticora, might be this guy's enemies, cause he's perfected or maybe a hybrids that uses their DNA. And that other bug from Giveme5 would be an original hurt hybrid that isn't so perfected. A whole bug works out there.
>>11700760>Giveme5ive Man he was quite disappointing as figures go, incredibly loose, and for some reason the head started to pop out easily. Really great design though, I'll give them that.
>>11700805Wish I got the footballer but at the time I didn't know all the stupid goal post stuff was removable.
>>11700808If it weren't for that I honestly wouldn't have bought him. Good thing they can be removed.
>>11700723>>11700758>>11700748this guy gives me more tokusatsu vibes than just "bug monster." like he could be a garo enemy, or fit in one of those gritty kamen rider reboots.
>>11700723Looks awesome and actually has some color which makes it pop.
>>11700723>Dick spike is removableThat was the one thing stopping me, let’s go
>>11696861nice bulge OwO
>>11700915It's called a puffy vulva.
>>11700760The Giveme5 figure makes me think of some Kuuga-esque ancient Kamen Rider, which makes me picture all these other bug monster adjacent ones as his enemies/potential allies. The Unkval could be going after the same ones but maybe with some ulterior motive or indiscriminately targeting all bug people regardless of their actions. Getting a range of types like these with similar themes makes it fun to imagine what roles they can have on your shelf.
>>11700838This. Kinda want him because of that.
Wanting the ccstoys Eva 02. Hope it's not 400.
>>11701123>Anima EVA Units>no big tits Asuka hybrid figureMissed opportunity.
>>11701440Did she give birth to that after the gang bang by the MPEs?
>>11701450She merged with her EVA Unit the same way Shinji did after his fight with Zeurel in the OG NGE series. Anima made it sexy because Asuka was older and more developed as a woman when it happened to her.
>>11701451kinda like picrel then
>>11701468Pretty, much yeah.
Sexyice really needs to make unkval stuff that isn't some gay football shit. The eliminators go from 600 to like 2k, shit's fucked.I'm still sitting on an unopened manticora because I keep wondering if I'm throwing away thousands a year from now..
>>11701572Given that there's a Smasher recolor coming in 3 days, I'd say the chances of an Eliminator recolor are extremely high. I think this Pure Ice thing they are doing is that, characters they've previously released but now with a different color.
>>11701586That probably is what they're doing, which makes it odd that Smasher is the first one up. I was always kind of hoping for a green Mantis, which is why I held off on her originally, so hopefully one comes from this (and maybe a little bit reworked, they can surely do better with those wrists). If it is consistent, if a colorway isnt speaking to me it'd be nice to comfortably skip it and hope for something I like more down the line. I really enjoy Smasher, but I've no inclination to get another one. Only thing that could get me to double dip would be new parts, for example new head, new/different weapons, different attachments in place of the current footballer armor.
>>11701586I am betting it'll just be an exclusive or something but if you are right I wouldn't mind that.I could use my red Smasher as the team leader for a couple of the new ones.
>>11701641Smasher does have a slightly better articulation scheme than Eliminator, so maybe they feel that it’s the higher quality product.
>>11701697Never got Eliminator but Smasher is wildly good. I was tremendously impressed playing around with it.
>>11701641I'm also edging on my seat for a possible Pure Ice Mantis, the original one had a good color imo but those wrists were a killer, if they can change that I'll get her. >>11701694Boy I hope not, we already have the ultra rare Heat Boys Unkval, a simple recolor will suffice
>>11701694>I am betting it'll just be an exclusive or somethingWe already know that it'll at least be on Bombusbee via 'unlimited preorder' until the window closes. They confirmed that in a social media post. Whether it's only there, or elsewhere as well, who knows.
Still wishing for this
>>11701572>2kdid someone even buying that
Ant
Anaconda Smasher box
Hope we see the little cat girls colored
>>11701869Fine, ill get the smasher for the first time. Im more interested on those ant and this guy tho >>11701868
>>11701869Anaconda ver. looks pretty good but part of me still feels like I should keep holding out for a more neutral colorway. I feel like just a straight black/gray or dark blue would be good but they always add some color, even eliminator had those green and orange areas which I didn’t like. The red hands on this are odd. I think there should’ve been one more red accent somewhere to match. Also would have been nice if they included some different weapons. While I thought the bright red football scheme was too goofy, I think it fit this smasher body and weapons loadout much more than this green color. Idk I guess I’ll wait for more pics
>>11701877How long the preorder window is going to be?
>>11701907I could've sworn I read it would last around 2 weeks but I can't find the post. I don't think it's gonna close fast though, but just in case I better keep my alarm.
>>11701907>>11701911Feb 8-14 only one week
>>11701937Full price upfront and only on Bombusbee? They do have red Smashers still, but it looks like 217,59 bucks per unit which is pretty bonkers. Need to wait to see the final price.
>>11701939Idk we'll find out tonight/tomorrow. Pretty sure bombusbee increased the price think normally they are a little over $100
>>11701939I hope it's x amount and then pay later type of preorder, if not then I'll say goodbye to this Smasher.
>>11701867>Schlubby crash test dummyFuck yes, it’s me>>11701868This guys gets guns too? By far my most anticipated buy. So cool, and a great new body type.>>11701872I like them. Depending on the price, I might pick one up.>>11701873This is very cool but a bit too much for my taste.
>>11701876>>11701867They're a lot more sketch reference dolls than I imagined. I thought they were going for 1000toys Synths type of figures. I like it though. Hope they try a bunch of things with these, and not be pricey.
>>11701949>I might pick one up.Me too, I hope they are just an individual version, or a group. But I only want one.
>>11701869been staring at this image for like half an hour. the forearms not being in that metallic green color as the rest of the armor is bothering me
>>11701868>>11701874I wonder if these are separate releases or different heads. One looks like a hero and the other a villain. >>11701871Not as excited about the Ant as I thought i might be.>>11701872>>11701876>>11701867No real interest in any of these but it appreciate how smooth and relatively seamless the articulation looks on the dummies.
>>11702055>I wonder if these are separate releases or different heads.I think they're the same figure, it's just the alt head
so based on the pics, the dogs is next for pre order?
>>11702082Probably the Pure Ice Smasher first, then them. Then probably a little detour to those dummies/blanks. Unless they start doing concurrent releases. They've been ramping up quite a bit, so we'll see how they handle their releases. Also I wonder when their aftermarket will settle to still be expensive (as almost all aftermarkets for preorder run items are) but not so exorbitantly so. Eliminator really did a number of their profile.
>>11702019>it's true>the forearms and calves are gray instead of greenish gunmetalMan what the fuck
>>11702144Intentional contrast, and with the calves as well it brings a coherence to the design. I don't think it looks bad.
>>11702019>>11702144I'm sure it's because those parts of the gear is meant to be a softer bendable material and not hard metal or what ever materials these soldiers use. You see folds in the boots for example.
>>11701868>>11701874This guy is looking great. Kind of surprised he isn't painted yet though.>>11701871>>11701873Gonna have to see how these look painted before I form an opinion. They just sort of look like a pile of jagged parts at the moment.>>11701869Not wild about the sad gray forearms but other than those this seems like a good recolor for all of those people who want their Unks to be monochrome.>>11701872These are looking good.
>>11701872Hell yes I want some of those fucking ROBOT DOGS
Dog internals
>>11702150>>11702155I don’t think it looks good. This is not really a good replacement for the eliminator for those who missed him. Under this kind of light, he is very green. Eliminator is so desirable because he is primarily black with little color on him
>>11702237To be fair, they never said this was made for people who missed Eliminator, and Smasher is definitely a design that needs more colors than the regular Eliminator, IMO. I'm sure we'll get a new Eliminator color sometime down the line.
>>11702234I'm going to give that company so much fucking money this year and it pisses me off.Missed out on unk, didn't like the red smasher but I'll get the new one to have at least one of their soldiers, only got manticora when I really should have gotten two.. everything else I might have to get 2x
>>11702237>This is not really a good replacement for the eliminator for those who missed him.I don't think it's meant to be, just the start of a new sub-line of possibly Bombusbee exclusives (them announcing their partnership earlier this week, and saying it'll be available there).
>>11702248As long as they continue to not re-issue you can always just buy a second to sell. The toys made by these guys have always jumped in value so farThis might be one of the few lines I can see myself going all-in on, they are way nicer than the big-3 Jap brands(Revo,Mafex,SHF).
>>11701876
>>11701867>>11701876Amazing how they're just mogging everybody.
>no Witchyawn...
>>11702324They should just leave the human waifus to figma and snailshell.Now if they want to do more monstergirls...
>>11702333>>11702335Jeez you got a big pussy. Jeez you got a big pussy.
>>11702324No Polynian robots and Red Dragon either, guess they will focus on their Vermin and CRE line for now.
>>11702335In my opinion, if they want to do human characters, 80s/90s adult anime syle is the best choice. Not this current day wafiu style everybody does. I think those older designs would fit what Sexy Ice done so far way better. A more gritty and serious tone. Ghost in the shell type of stuff.
>>11701867Huh I could've sworn this guy was bigger
>>11702352This would be cool. They could still do waifu figures in that style for all I care. I am tired of most waifu figures all looking like they stepped out of the same mid-2000's isekai.Plus something more Bubblegum Crisis or Slayers like would pair better with the Vermin stuff than humans in a more modern style.
>>11702374>read that Naga only appears in the moviesSigh, there's this time she appeared in the main anime but using an armor, it's just not the same.
>>11702352I'm ok with them doing their own style, but I wouldn't say no to GiTS or Akira-inspired stuff.My wallet on the other hand..
>>11702388She was in some of the OVAs too but yeah. That bummed me out too. I watched all of the movies before moving on to the series and found out pretty quickly that the odd couple dynamic between Naga and Lina was the main thing I liked about Slayers and lost interest before even finishing the first series.Throwing her in as a golem is cute I guess but also feels like a bit of a fuck you.
>>11702439It is what it is sadly.
>>11702363They're doing both 1/12 and 1/6 for these? It seems like the appropriate project to do both.
>>11701867Yeahhhh I hope the yellow one is an unfinished product cause he looks like he's wearing a bikini
>>11702273Metal parts?
>>11701872>dogs finally paintedNice
>>11697267Well at last I truly see the greenish armor, he looks cool, but I wish more parts had that color instead of gray.
>>11702900Green+Grey+Black looks like a terrible design. So they're milking the buyers by having shitty recolors but they don't actually want to make bank by making more unkvals.. okay..
>>11702903It's just a matter of time, also I think Locust will be their next "Unkval" as the lore explains he's a modified dead bug created to kill vermin.
>>11702900Scroll up, they look very green in the display case. But I like them more in these official photos. I guess how these look will greatly depend on lighting conditions
>>11699073I keep reading gitd is fragile but as of today none of my stuff has broken. Sadly I think it's too niche to create a figure of it, same with translucent action figures (though these ones can really be prone to breakage).
its green now stfu
>>11702946I enjoy the contrast with the white forearms and boots, I wonder if some more red elsewhere would have worked, maybe on the biceps ?
>>11702953I would have made the soles of the feet the same red as the hands
Man these guys know how to hype their stuff, I NEED those damn hounds now.
>>11702957It's not a bad idea but I would try to get it elsewhere as well, instead of just at the end of the limbs, which feels a bit too formulaic.Maybe on the sides of the abdomen would work too, I'm not sure.
>>11702961The hounds are a cool idea for their universe. Wonder what pricing will be like. But as far as a companion for unkval, think I'll prefer the robo cat girls. Was hoping to see them but probably still very early in development
>>11702986>Wonder what pricing will be like.I hope not much, they don't look like they will come with lots of accessories, but Sexyice could also put them in a set of two or three, something I hope is the case but also as an individual since I only want one.>robo cat girlsPic related?I think they're gonna be for an entirely different setting as the Vermin story. Elevision or something like that was called the line.
>>11702991I can't tell if the gun face is supposed to be like robot body horror, or a perfectly normal thing to have.
>>11702900ishiggydiggy
it's just a weird color scheme, I'm hoping it looks better in handtomorrow is only for this one, right? no PO on the dogs etc
>>11701939>looks like 217,59 bucks per unitThat's the post release scalper price for the normal one which is not what I paid for my pre-order from them. I paid $123 each for mine. It's crazy that they doubled the price after release
>>11696861/ctg/ started out as snail shell general
>>11703034Yup, Anaconda Smasher will be on po until the 15th.No further info was given about their next figures.
>>11703085Did we figure out if it's only at bombusbee? I'd prefer gundamit desu
>>11703089Afaik it's just going to be on BBB, for Japan it will be on Amiami, but again only for Japan.
>>11702900Eliminator still cooler with that hammer hope they recolor after anaconda
>>11703146I wanted a different weapons load out for anaconda. Or even reusing eliminator's. I think maybe they won't do anything more with eliminator because they feel it's outdated now.
>>11703167Cant they just use the tech from smasher? i know they eliminate those gaps
>>11698055>>11700723i can only buy one, which one you choose anons?
>>11703486A random mcfarlene figure.
>>11703486The ant to me looks more refined. Non-human looks decent too but it'll probably hang out on Aliexpress for years to come. Maybe ant will too. Seems like every company but SexyIce at least sticks around for a while, they seem to make exactly the number of preorders and nothing else, while others do a decent run more for lasting quantity.
the tiny bat always bothering me, compared to the body and they fighting a huge bug why so smol
>>11703550it's a weaponized souvenir bat; I use to have one as a kid and I would vent frustrations by beating my pillows up with it from time to time. I love that the Smasher has one.
>>11703486sexyice is known for good figuresrandom chinkshop from nowhere is not known for good figures (yet?)if you want guaranteed value or you prefer the style, go with sexyiceif you prefer the other one enough that you're OK with the uncertainty, then get that oneIMO sexyice is going to be better
>>11703632there is no sexyice in the choice anon
>>11703597Stop making shit up you pathetic manchild. It's not a "weaponized souvenir bat" and you are autistic as fuck. You fucking retard.
Welp, it's 9th in China, I'm on my seat for the preorder.
>>11703641I misread and I am an idiot, apologies.based on aesthetics alone the non-human guy is probably more interesting. Blue guy (romankey iirc?) is trying to be sexyice without getting there, whereas non-human at least tried to make something unique
>>11698055>>11703486I personally like the first one, the Romankey one is kinda generic looking imo.
>>11703550>the tiny batIt's very clearly based on the super rare ancient Japanese studded mace called the ararebo.>>11703597>>11703642Kek
>>11703642>Stop making shit upI've never made a more sincere post in my life. >You fucking retard.Get batted.>>11703655Fuckin' sweet. I know it's good for close quarters smashing from experience.
>>11703655>>11703683Doesnt matter what its from you fucking nerd retard, its too small for the big guy and big bug
>>11703740So far all these troopers have a blunt implement backups to engage hard-carapaced insurgents in CQC. Arthropods have adapted exoskeletons as a reminder. Battering away at a dense surface can yield hairline fractures and with further persistence penetrate it.
I like the size of the bat I would actually dislike it if it was bigger. Are real life bats all a standard size? Idk I’m not into sportsball but if so then this is probably just a regular size person bat being used by a big guy, not something they custom made for them
>>11703754Ok nerd does the bigger the bat is good for killing bug or not?
>>11703762So an army designed to kill a highly evolved bug as big as human, with a futuristic robot dog as companion use a random bat they found? You nerd fucking sucks at imagining
>>11703782while a heavier weapon is better for blunt force, a smaller surface area will translate better into puncturing damage, hence the spikes. it doesn't have to be large to be heavy, normal bats are hollow, if the end is solid it'll function more like a mace. it's the reason for the metal cap on >>11703655 it makes it top heavy and concentrates the weight at the striking end.
>>11703796>designed to killI mean Smashers look designed to entertain, to make a spectacle out of killing bugs. You complain about the small mace and not an American shaped football bomb?
>>11703844>I mean Smashers look designed to entertain, to make a spectacle out of killing bugs.I buy that. They have their signal helmets to state what's going on, but at the same time I don't doubt they're a kill squad, just a more charismatic group than the Eliminators. Ironic that each released near the bug that seems like they'd be better suited to take out. Smashers with their smaller but more agile weapons look like they're suited for smaller and faster monsters, while Eliminator has heavier weaponry, including their large hammer, seemingly better to deal with monsters the size of Manticora. Just looking at the two you'd almost think their gear should be swapped.
Nigger has never seen The Running Man.
Maces are a lot smaller than one would think. Warhammer wold be two handed so naturally much bigger in comparison. I think they make sense. They chose not to go with anime logic that's all.
>>11703782>does the bigger the bat is good for killing bug or not?The bigger bat fails to get enough clearance in close quarters, so the littler bat is a proper defense weapon. This is a proven principle of weaponry that has existed for thousands of years.
>>11701867>>11701876I thought they would be more mechanical and involved and not some clean drawing mannequin...but a good one at least. I hope they make female too I think there aren't many realistic proportion female blanks. Maybe just figma one if ignoring 1/6 stuff? AY Female Titan works too. But many are stylized. I thought they posted some lore before for CRE so I hope it wasn't all just for a male drawing mannequin.
These guys should make a mass-produced version the Zoho Artform 1
>>11703796It wouldn't be a random bat, it would be standard issue for the regular grunt force of the world but unkvals are an elite special unit
>>11703975No thanks CRE TROY looks better
so when are those POs starting again?BBB continues to show scalper prices for the red smasher but that's all.
>>11704014Tomorrow.They claim they outsourced those Smashers, and that's why those are more expensive. Kinda weird considering the collab, but sure.
>>11704019Thanks anon.Yeah big X doubt on the reasons behind their scammy behaviour, I guess they want to put up the same prices aliexpress and ebay put up, given how many assholes are doing resale on these figs.I kinda want a pristine manticora to go with my opened one but 250 bucks is nuts..
>>11703844>not an American shaped football bomb? Its a fuckin bomb, doesnt need to be big just put nuclear powered shit inside i doubt even the most evolved bug survived
>>11704120>just put nuclear powered shit insideah yes, the nuclear grenade, a classic example of military engineering.
>>11704124You nerd don't even know the smallest nuclear bomb? Thats on the 60' btw, we are talking about humanoid bugs in the far future
>>11704162the problem isn't whether it's possible to make, the problem is having a nuclear bomb with a blast radius wider than it can be thrown.
>>11704176Just let it be the last resort then, when all unkval failed to kill them bugs you suicide with it Netero style
>>11704194then why make it look like a football?
>>11696859what is a a>Zhongguo??
>>11704208I don't know and don't fucking care you dumb nerd, I only care about the tiny looks of the bat compared to the body. Even you nerds already explained it doesnt need to be bigger to be effective, I need it to be bigger because ITS A FUCKING TOYS
>>11704214its not baseball bat you nigga worshipping sports ball watcher, its a buck breaker 9000 dumbass
>>11704214You seem to care a lot about the size of one accessory. Maybe you should print yourself a bigger one instead of complaining uselessly for hours about something that won't change and making a fool of yourself.
Preorders for the new Smasher are open.
>>11704214hey man, keep responding to the posts im sure they'll agree with you eventually
>>11704212www.google.com
So they want me to email them or private message in WhatsApp? I want my discount on 6 orders of anaconda.
>>11704295I think you just have to click in To Explore
>>11702961I'd be excited if they lowered the price of the hounds compared to Unkval or let you get 3 in a single packet for a low cost. >>11702991Aaand SexyIce is ripping off Polynian with those proportions and joints. Wonder if they can parts-swap though, would be fun to get them with my Peaceclay to mimic them being Mega Man-like.
>>11704339>SexyIce is ripping off Polynian with those proportions and joints. the shoulder and hip joints, sure but the knees and elbows are specifically not. the proportions are more akin to megaman or something than polynian's weird pseudo hypersexuality
I'm still kinda torn on SexyIce figures. Their cyberpunk-ish soldiers are amazing action figures from a pure engineering point and exude style, but they also kinda feel like secondary Temu knock-offs of Metal Gear/Shinkawa dudes. Couldn't care less about monsters, they are just faceless cool looking monsters. Nothing grabs me about them.Do you think the ratio of people that actually like them and people that treat them as sort of bitcoin/investment/bandwagon is more skewed toward the latter?
>>11704355I haven't seen much talk about them as investments, most of the discussion about price seems to come from people who missed out on preorders and then they didn't really hit retail. remains to be seen if there's more investor chatter about smasher and manticora.Their articulation is really good, both the soldiers and manticora feel really good in the hand and while the mantis wasn't perfect she was really good as a first outing. I think the appeal of the company is in that technical side of just being highly articulated without that thing that some figures get where the joints are really obvious and interrupt the figure's appearance. the bug monsters are a nice gimmick, but yeah kinda generic, and the soldiers are pretty intentionally just faceless goons so far, so I don't think they're trying to stand out with their aesthetic. Having those internals on display at wonfest kinda supports that their leaning on their technical side as the selling point.
Ordered 2
It's cheaper to order from Amiami but they only allow 1 per customer.
>>11704378they usually have mystery shipping and possibly customs charges so it might not actually be that much cheaper
>>11704355I just think they are neat. There aren't a lot of 90's OVA style mooks and monsters on the market. The Eliminators are the only release so far that I was lukewarm on and they are utterly impossible to get these days. I am only pissed that I missed out on them for completeness sake and because Manticora came with an accessory for them.
>>11704378Wasn't Amiami a Japan exclusive?
>>11704390nothing on the page itself says that. I didn't try to order it, I dunno if they won't let you if you put a foreign address or something
>>11704391I may try it
locked in my pree for smasher: nigga edition
>>11704380Well depends on where your location is.BBB got the tariff fee included so it is more expensive then before.
>>11704402same, got two just in case.I hope sexyice actually releases other stuff before june now.
>>11704410i want the dogs fuck they look so cool. reminds me of the zombie dogs from RE but waaaayyy cooler. oh also i was hoping theyd show the sexy witch soon. the gundam dragon guy was kino too, hope hes got an alt head tho without the gundam V
>>11704355The after market price of eliminator is 100% playing trick in people mind, they think "i can make money buying this" instead of "cool toys". Just look how many people buying more than 1, you dont buy the same batman more than 1, you buy different version of batman 1 each.
>>11704505>never heard of army buildingWhy are you comparing to Batman? These are equivalent to Stormtroopers from Star Wars (more like Deathtroopers to get technical). Buying multiples is natural.
>>11704618>>11704618>armyYou say that but they dont have 3 pack anymore, which clearly has something that make them "army". Maybe you know the reason?
>>11704618>Buying multiples is naturalYou know what, if the first reason people buying sexyice because its cool toys and not profit surely you pre order eliminator, right? surely you pre order 3 pack to make army, right? better yet, if you pre order the mantis. Show me the receipt on your order
>>11704378It is 3 now
>>11704630Red and Anaconda Smashers were literally advertised in promos as potential squads.
Looks like Hobby Genki will also have these but think their page isn’t live yet? Will Bombusbee be the best place to get it? I am somewhat paranoid about other places potentially not getting stock and your order gets cancelled and then you are sore out of luck… Also feel like BBB would be fastest as I have noticed a lot of Chinese brand figures being delayed on Japanese sites
>>11704391I checked and I think they're gonna cost the same as BBB once the shipping cost is included. I don't see why Amiami wouldn't be a second option though, it seems to be also shipping worldwide.
>>11704662>>11704630I ordered 2 each for all three, one mantis girl FYI. Didn't feel like 3 for the price and since I knew they would keep making variants having 2 each time would make a good number in the end. Not selling in packs doesn't automatically mean they are solo characters now. The design and nature of the lore (official or not) gives a toy the "grunt" feel or army building potential. PLus they fucking promote them in numbers what are you on about anyways?
>>11704857>what are you on about anywaysI want to prove what >>11704355 ask, if people really buying it because they like them or not. Gonna wait for the receipt until this thread die, you can of course ignore me
>>11704863>receiptThat's your problem, not mine so I will.
>>11704870Thanks for proving my point
>>11704863Can’t both things be true? There are definitely people buying to resell but usually majority of people that buy a toy do so because they like it. Some may also find appeal in how limited they are and want to own something exclusive. These have been very hyped up in the toy community which made a lot of people feel fomo including myself. But I also quite liked the lore and worldbuilding they’ve been coming up with. I’m not an army builder so since I will probably only get one, I was waiting for a color scheme that is a little more neutral and this new one is good enough for me to finally get one.
>>11704872That you're a miserable shit? Yes.
>>11704879Both can be true, but which come first? if not for the price gone up like crazy doubt it many people want it>These have been very hyped up in the toy communityThats bandwagon, you buy it because people buy it. I dont mind what reason you buy them but atleast be honest because who the fuck doesnt want easy money
>>11704904>I don’t like it so no one else should eitherYou are a retard if you can’t fathom people liking something that you don’t. Even more retarded if you think everyone is only buying to resell. If that was true who would they even sell to? Other resellers? Then no one would actually own these things.
>>11704909>I don’t like it so no one else should eitherReading comprehesion so shit if you think im feeling this way>if you think everyone is only buying to resellI dont think this retard, i said both can be true learn how to fucking read
Okay everybody calm down. Lets post some pics and have fun instead of musing about things outside our control.
https://www.instagram.com/sexyice_2019/reel/DUiYzI2EjXU/
>>11704769They sold out already. About 20 minutes after the page dropped
>>11704938alright i want 3
>>11704938Nice
Is Bombusbee shipping actually free to the U.S, or is it just "will be charged after we get the figure"?
>>11704969Will be charged later.
>>11702953>>11702957I would have nixed the red and gone with gold. Classic sports color scheme, just like smasher's red/grey
are they gonna sell the anaconda on gundammit? bombusbee get expensive
>>11705201I thought it was bombusbee/amiami exclusive
>>11705201Most likely not, preorders are up only for this week and there is nothing on Gundamit.Never used Bombusbee yet, but them adding scalper markup to new figures is pretty scummy.
>>11705209What markup? Thought it was under 120?
>>11705215its 10euro extra PLUS 22% taxes
How much will the shipping be on Amiami? I've been thinking on getting a green Smasher there since the price is slightly less than BBB.>>11705215It's 126 dollars to Burgerland
>>11705215>>11705242>>11705249damn, only cost $70 for me, free shipping
>>11705257You live in China or something?
>>11705257Holy crap, talk about being lucky.
>>11705215Meant the red Smashers, like c'mon, late tax on a fig two weeks after its release while you are the main distributor, it is scummy af.
>>11705281I personally managed to get a Unkval for only 12,870 yen retail on amami back in June at the peak of the hype during it's release. It was in the middle of the night at 1 am, probably a cancelation or something.
>>11705249>How much will the shipping be on Amiami? I've been thinking on getting a green Smasher there since the price is slightly less than BBBI was thinking that too but since they just announced an increase to their shipping rates, it'll probably be just as if not more expensive than BBB.
>>11705406Really? God dammit
>>11705406>>11705466But that only applies to DHL and ECMS and I think it will only affect USA. So if you live there well yeah.
>Chinese thread, mainly a Sexyice thread, that reached bump limitNice
>>11705607While I appreciate the enthusiasm we need to be realistic. A third of the posts were hammering out what this general is about. It also helped Wonfest Winter '26 was right around the corner to give us SexyIce2019 fans plenty to post. All that said I appreciate you and others staying on topic and posting pics of cool /toy/ stuff. I hope everyone manages to order what they want and is willing to share pics in the threads to come.
>>11705652Yup, WF helped a lot, we shall if these threads will stay after a couple of months.
Considering that Alex Mercer is a biological horror type thing, he will look nicely with Unkval units. It seems, muh fantasies about Prototype 3 will be incarnated only in plastic, huh.
OP here. Until I see someone besides Chinese reviewers displaying Smasher Anaconda Version on social media I think I'll hold off on making another general. What do you anons think?
>>11706173I agree, not much chink toys discussion beside sexyice and many things already has its own thread
>>11706173So use this thread until June? do they not get pushed off the catalog because of auto sage?
>>11706374Pretty much, yeah. >>11706398I mean if you or anyone starts posting their pics of toys they own that fall under the General umbrella I'll reconsider. So far only us SexyIce2019 fans are posting pics of our stuff. Everyone else posted promo pics.
>>11706173>>11706418Aye sir, I agree there shouldn't be a thread until we get more news about Sexyice.
Can I post my 52 Xenomorph when he comes in?
>>11706474Not OP but I don't see why not, I don't think there's an alien general.
>>11706474Post it anon I wanna see it too, I might wanna buy it if its good
>>11706173UNKED
>>11706474I demand you do
Looks like preorders for the dogs are going to start on 14th. According to Sexy Ice's Insta.
>>11707153Their Twitter says it's gonna be 16/02/2026.Which is Monday, while 14th is Saturday. Dunno, maybe they will post promos and price in the 14th. Or it goes up on PO.
>>11707160Is the dog gonna be WF exclusive too or normal pre order?
>>11707246Of course a normal release. Maybe later they will use same mold with certain changes, like the situation with Smashers. WF Exclusive recolor is also possible.
Paid the deposit for anaconda smasher the other day. I am very excited. Think it's my most anticipated figure for this year. Assuming the hounds are single packed and don't come with any accessories, I'd pay like $35 for one but I'm guessing it will be like $50-60. Sexyice is pretty expensive but I feel like more than 50 would be crazy given how simple and small it is. I don't want it enough to pay that much.
>>11707460GunDamit bros...we lost.
>>11707460That's pretty anti-consumer behaviour. They gonna dictate the price, this genuinely pisses me off.
>>11707460This would just make me want to order from Gundamit more, if they carry it.
>>11707459I think they will just come in a 3 pack sadly, I hope I'm wrong.
>>11707460I dont like the UI on BBB, why did gundamit lose
Acid Rain count? Just got these in 3 minutes ago
>>11707958OP here, sure. I used to collect the 1:18th scale Acid Rain stuff back when they first came out. Cool to see them trying 1:12. Hope we get some 303rd Augurts Marines someday.
>>11707958I saw these they looked kinda cool but not cool enough for me to pull the trigger
>>11708035I pulled just in case. Saw the early ones selling for 300 and didn't want to miss out. They're oos in some places so maybe that's a good sign. The robot guy has random numbers btwn 1-6 on his faceplate. I got 1 on mine so I thought that was a neat little chase gimmick. I was needing some figures to pose against my neca aliens. Neca never re-releases the Marines and the Joe's I have don't mesh too well even if I have some custom colonial marine gear for some.
>>11707527>regular smasher on gundamit was about $110>anaconda smasher is $126 on bombusbeethat's some gay shit right there
>>11708313Isn't shipping on gundamit really cheap too, sometimes not even a dollar? Meanwhile on BBB I think it's like upwards of $25…
Wait I had multiple sexyice POs on Gundamit,are they going to refund locust etc and I'm just tucked now? I can't be the only one with at least locust supposedly secured on gdmtI hate BBB
>>11708399I don't think all SexyIce figures are going to be BBB exclusives, just the exclusive Anaconda color. But you could contact Gundamit to confirm.
>>11707460So what about AmiAmi, HLJ, HobbySearch, even BBTS?It seems BBB are just making shit up.
>>11708530Ah, my bad. Outside China and Japan.
>>11708528I very hope so, i just ordered anaconda from amiami and its gonna eat my wallet more than it should because bbb doesnt ship to my country. Gundamit is the best price for me when my local seller not importing toys that i want.
So many bug to crush
>>11708707Their goblin looks like it's pretty good quality. I hope they show some prototypes of those two titcow girls they announced. Weird to announce something completely different before any updates on those. They seem to be all over the place with what kind of figures they make, not that that's necessarily a bad thing
>>11708739Yep i ordered the goblin for my sluts, maybe they just following trends on the market. Welp as long their toys quality is good im not complaining
>>11706173FUCK SEXY ICE
>>11707958Proteus looks cool. The rest are meh but that's only because I'm not a big fan of sci fi exoskeletons.
>>11709032SEXY ICE FUCK
The dogs today or tomorrow?
>>11710355Saturday 14th at 10:00 am, Chinese hour obviously
>>11710534>keep using mantis in promos>worst articulation in the lineman, I just want a better built mantis. I love her, but she's kinda bullshit. plus I destroyed my fingers trying to swap the joints on her claws.
>>11710538With this Pure Ice thing they're doing, we might see a Mantis 2.0, hopefully they fix her wrists.
>>11710541maybe. I'm not holding my breath yet. if they actually dip back in their catalogue or update things that'll be great but I'm just expecting recolors/reissues of recent figures from it for now.
Ni hao 4chan, Ice-san here. Intern destroyed all the molds except for smasher so we can only do smasher repaints now. prease understand
>>11710544That will definitely happen, Anaconda Smasher was just a recolor. Their other stuff is bound to be the same, I prefer that over ultra rare exclusives like the Heat Boys Unkval, but I would cream myself if Mantis gets some improvements here and there. >>11710546>I'm so in love with Sexyice that I would genuinely buy shameless recolors over and over againI'm so deep into this line I can't go up anymore...
>>11710546sorry anon, the time to post this was before wonfes
Well, for these few accessories I expect a rather lower price.
>>11710768are they actually selling them as one-ofs? I assumed it'd be a three pack between all the promo shots and how little there seemed to be to them.
>>11710770I feel like single and 3 packs would've made everyone happy, but it is what it is. I personally only need one.
>>11710773I probably won't get more than one if they're sold as singles, but I would've gotten a three-pack if that's all they had. if they sell both like the eliminator I'm not actually sure if I'd go for the multipack unless there's some bonus like the drone.
>>11710768What "accessories" are those anyway, extra joints? Might have been interesting to give like a bug part or something to chew on. Or maybe a leash for unk to hold>>11710770They put three smashers in some of the photos too, it doesn’t really means anything. I don't think there is any reason to sell multipacks since people can just order multiples. Locking these behind a needlessly expensive three pack would have been terrible for those who only want one or two
>>11710780well given the size and number of accessories I was expecting them to sell a three pack at a the price of a larger figure, or only slightly above. The accessories look like they're extra paws, I'm not sure if that's just taking the place of spare joints or if they're actually molded differently than the regular paws somehow.
>>11710768Quite the lame accessories if those are just paws, in that case they should've included a broken mantis face or a Manticora hand I dunno
>>11710792Yeah that would have been great. Kinda like the unkval head they included with Manticora. On its own it’s kind of boring especially if you’re a poselet kek. You will want more sexyice things to go with it. Looking at that pic I feel like it should be $40 max.
>>11710848We shall see in a couple of hours, at least there's time to po these dogs, up until mid March methinks.
According to their twitter, POs for the dogs go up on Monday the 16th, or late Sunday night for the US with whatever the time difference ends up being
> This product is made-to-order. so no stock will be held in advance>This is a limited-time pre-order compaign! We recommend ordering early if you don’t want to miss out.It's made-to-order but also limited, those guys needs to pick one... well, we will see the price, if BBB is sole distributor they can make it as high as they want. They are already scalping Red Smashers.
We need a new thread, this soon is going to fall out.
>>11711000every pre order is limited time, i think they meant there will be no re release, as other chink brand has no re release. price could be around $45-55 before shipping and taxes
>>11710934Scratch that, they're up now at BBB
>>11711049>That price, though.Granted, they are a neat little piece of engineering.
Ordered 1 only, overpriced for me. Would rather choose another unkval
>>11710768>53 dollars for thisBBB can go fuck themselvesSo pic related is going to cost 200 on preorder?
>>11711049>>11711052Ya... idk about that. Almost half the price of a regular release and no accessories and also tiny. Give it bags to hold stuff, weapons to attach, something. I'd like to get one but...
Wtf did they raise the price on this to? Wasn't it $109 before?
>>11711217It depends on where you live, to burgerland it cost 126 bucks, that didn't change
>>11711218I was 109 the last time I looked at it(Canada). And they removed the $20 deposit option, only full price now.
Also they are selling the scalped price version of the regular smasher...
>>11711221What the fuck
>>11711217>>11711218I feel like it keeps changing... When I ordered it was 126 then a few days later 122 even after I entered US location.So yeah bbb sucks. Is doggo exclusive to them too? $53 (plus shipping too right) is crazy and greedy. Wish gundamit would get sexyice again. I think I won't get the dog but I'm also worried I will regret not doing so later...>>11711221I checked now and you can't even add the full price option. But I think today was the last day anyway so it must have closed
Well fuck BB then, I just placed an order with AmiAmi instead, no upfront payment either.
>>11711299enjoy the shipping charge
>>11711301BB had a shipping charge the last time I used them too. $105 + shipping is better than $132 + shipping.
>>11711304Ami your guranteed a tariffs charge as well.
>>11711317I'm Canadian, so no. Maybe just import tax.
>>11711317bbb is 40 buck more expensive in the end per unit. If you ship literally anything else from amiami and even pay tarrifs on it it will still be cheaper than buying from bbb. If you get 3 from amiami you save almost 100 bucks over getting 3 from bbbI HIGHLY RECOMMEND SPAMMING THEIR TWITTER TO DROP BBB EXCLUSIVITY IN THE FUTURE
>>11711321>SPAMMING THEIR TWITTER TO DROP BBB EXCLUSIVITYinstagram too i guess
>>11711262>Is doggo exclusive to them too?Nope, he's a normal preorder
>>11711376None of the regular sites have it up yet.
>>11711380Gotta wait then, luckily the dog's po will last until March 25th, there's time.
>>11700190>>11700178I see it as the captain has even less humanity than his team mates, like what happens with Combine soldiers in the Half Life games.
Sexy Ice is shitting on their fans with giving exclusivity to one store which is price gouging already. Price keeps increasing, now it's 55,13 per hound with 0 accessories.
>>11711876amiami will probably put them out after the weekend. BBB is just the american exclusive retailer.
Price swings wildly depending on the country
Is everyone complaining about the higher price from the US? Is BBB just building in the tariff cost in the item price?
>>11707958Cool as hell, please post more when you unbox them
>>11712316It's $59usd to Canada and we don't even have tariffs to worry about.
>>1171231655,12 USD to europe
>>11711891But amiami will most likely allow 1 per customer.I want 6.
>>11712766The anaconda going from 1 to 3 max, i think the dog will be 3 max too
I wish Amiami would hurry up and post theres. I'm not sure how many I'll want, maybe go for three but I feel two would be enough for a squad of three Unkvals.
>>11711049Would have loved to get a 2 or 3 pack but absolutely not at that price.
>>11713065Me too, fuck BBB
>>11712888Oh I didn't know that.When it first came up at amiami I can only choose 1 from the pull down.
>>11713065It sucks they dont do 3 pack anymore, which clearly more cheaper than buying individually.
this photo make him look good
>>11713427
>>11713427He looks like a Power Rangers villain.
Maybe we could make a new thread, price gouging edition. This one is going to die soon by autosage.
>>11713491Hit image limit with some cool toy pics that fit the general and I will.
Hobby genki got the dogs up for po. I ordered 6.
>>11713857Glad their price is quite reasonable. Fuck BBB, ecpecailly considering their shipping. Why does Gundamit offer 1$ shipping (with almost same of slightly higher prices), while BBB's shipping disregards any value for choosing to go with them.
Doggos are up at amiami.
>>11714186How does Amiami work? Do they combine shipping? I did order 3 Anacondas from BBB and they allow only 2 figs per package, so i'm afraid they just want to charge me extra. Does Amiami lower the value during shipping as many Chinese shops do? To avoid to much taxation? I'm asking about getting stuff to EU.
>>11714196>Does Amiami lower the value during shippingjapan law doesnt allow this, its on their Q&A i suggest you read all of them before ordering
will gundamit get the dogs?
>>11714196>combine shippingThey only combine things that release in the same month. Since the dog has a June release date, you can ship it with anything else that releases in June.>lower valueAs far as I know the only Japanese site that does this is Solaris Japan
>>11714293I wish they would but I’m not very hopeful. They are pretty expensive on the Japan sites too. $42 before rape shipping so you might as well order from bbb. Actually I think for any Chinese brand, it is better to get from a Chinese site because Japan stock is often delayed.
what the hell i didnt know anaconda was preorder was only a week. stop the gay fomo practices FUUCK is there anywhjere else i can get one
>>11714553it's over. should have been paying attention anon. actually, how did you know about anaconda but not know about the limited window it was talked about everywhere
>>11714553>EXCLUSIVE PAINT>EXCLUSIVE BBB STORE>MADE TO ORDER>LIMITED TIME ONLYBEST TOY EVER RELEASED
>>11714560i just looked at their social medias and saw the photos like two days ago, where else could i see it talked about?>>11714640fuck china
>>11714710the captions under the photos on their social medias
>>11714710Not gonna lie, collecting Sexy Ice is kinda annoying now, they got high on their own farts, hope those guys chill out. Scalping their own products in an exculsive shop is pretty bad. I'm starting to lose enjoyment in this line, if I knew they gonna chose this path I would think twice before buying anything from them.
>>11714756That's fine, anon. You're entitled to your opinion. Just don't go using your bad experience as justification to shit up the next thread.
>>11714763Don't worry, I'm not bitter or smth, just saying I'm not happy with some decisions Sexy Ice has made. I like their products, I wish them success, just wish they were more customer friendly.
>>11714756If it's about prices I'd say BBB is the one responsible, for instance the dogs cost 33 dollars to the Chinese market, the Anaconda Smasher was 90, fucking BBB decided to add more than 30 bucks for the second one ffs
I feel like such an idiot for thinking that the red eye would glow via a LED light in the head, that's the primary reason I ordered him in the first place lmao, wouldn't have thought his price will skyrocket to high heavens in just a couple of months.
>>11715113Isn't the eye painted so it can glow under a blacklight ?
>>11715120Yup, I only realized that weeks after I paid for the him. I don't regret it though, his glowing eye looks menacing and with murderous intent.
>>11715113I mean, they could have. The tech exists for lighting a head that size.
>>11715206There's this figure from Keepgoing that has the LED function and it looks well integrated. Maybe a future release may have it too.
>>11714763If they dont put the dog on gundamit i will burn the next thread and you cant stop me
>>11714994the anaconda was 120eur from the chinese the fact they cut off gundammit is quite worrying
>>11715453120? Odd, since in their account they mention the cost was 608 RMB which is around 74 euros.
>>11713793Well, here's a Manticora with tits.
Bbts may be cheaper. They do 4 buck shipping
>>11715955>$84 + taxjust get from bombusbee doubt their shipping would be $30
>>11715955>80 dollarsAnon the dog is 53 on BBB
>>11716033What about shipping and tariffs?
>>11716095Dunno, it's the first time I order from BBB
>>11715955lol i feel bad for you, dog is $42 for me total
>>11716095chinese sites usually include tariffs in the price
>>11716162shipping too? My Smasher cost me like 108 dollars in total
>>11715952lol. lmao even.
GUNDAMIT HAS THE DOGSI REPEATGUNDAMIT HASTHE DOGS
>>11716701>Full price unknownof course. But when I saw hlj get them I figured gundamit would too.
>>11716709>full price unknownFor fuck's sake
So far the cheapest
>>11716938HLJ rapes you on shipping. I paid 70 bucks for shipping an item the size and weight of a kleenex box
Yeah I think I'm just gonna skip the dog and try to ignore the fomo. I don't think it's worth it and probably won't be very fun especially because I'm a poselet when it comes to things like that. Rather have the elevision cat robot things as a companion to unkval. The crash test dummy looks interesting too. Think I should save my money for some of that stuff
>>11716953Holy fucking shit, goddammit I guess BBB will have to do.
I went with Gundamit, now the question is, who is going to get raped the hardest?
So given that Gundamit has the dogs I'd say they will keep getting Sexyice stuff, exceptions will be exclusives like the Anaconda Smasher.>>11717000Honestly considering shipping and tariffs I wouldn't know, everyone is definitely getting raped but no idea which one will be the worst in terms of cost. BBB at least tells you how much the product is going to cost totally. The others is just the product.
Well, I thought this was sorta neat and might have picked it up at $80, but at $136 on amiami I'm not even slightly tempted>>11716953About two months ago, I paid for a good-sized box and shipping was only like $45. But there was $70 in tariffs added on.
>>11717000
>>11717339Uff, this is going to hurt future me.
>>11707460So this was just a load of shit then?
>>11717550Yup, Amiami and I think HG had the green Smasher, and regular stuff like the dogs are available on plenty of sites.
>>11717639my understanding was that BBB was the official american distributor and amiami was official for japan or domestic or whatever.also remains to be seen what kind of warranty/support might be on offer from BBB vs otherwise. I've never ordered from them before so I don't know what their baseline for customer support is
>>11717323he's 118 plus shipping on 5ktoys. still too rich for my blood, but better, I guess?
>>11717339>CADAh, that makes sense. Also how can the pre-order be sold out already?
New MotoCybo is pretty cool>>11717817Cuz everybody bought 3+ of them, including me
>>11717817>>11717935Weren't all their products preorder until preorder date closes?
>>11717323All these Chinese brands have overinflated their prices because of successful first runs. I’m interested in this guy too but not for 100+ dollarydoos
>>11717817>sold outOh nonono what is this mean bros>>11718136Agree, that romankey doesnt even have POK and metal on it, which make manticora expensive
>>11717956It's up now, probably until preorders close.
Supreme Court just struck down large portions of T$'s tarrifs. Are we maybe gonna see less-onerous pricing here in Burgerland?
>>11718485>Are we maybe gonna see less-onerous pricing here in Burgerland?no
>>11715952It's Ma'amticora!
>>11717323paintjob very costlyplease understand
>>11718485>prices>go downlollmao even
>>11718485Wulmurt is over reporting poundage of food so they sell higher but are actually lighter. So in short, even if prices do go down for businesses, they'll never relinquish that back to the customer.
Are doggo and anconda really going to release in June? Are they going to be able to produce and ship the units they need in like 3-4 months?
>>11719069Anaconda's literally just a recolor, they should be able to make it without issue after already shipping the regular smashers. as for the dogs this is about a 4 month turnaround compared to the 6-7 they've done for manticora and smasher, but if they're actually picking up pace on production after their successes that's not an unreasonable uptick. I also don't know if the june date is actual shipment or just release, they've had an earlier domestic release of their figures before exports, so we might actually see them closer to july or august if that's the case, which would be pretty standard for their schedule.
>>11719086I am just comparing it in my mind to something like the Xocann Quinn Lee and how they made the blanks hot on the heels of that presumably while the factory was still set up with the molds. But I feel like there was a longer time between those releases and the blanks have still not shipped out everywhere I believe. Anaconda is basically the same situation, immediately doing a recolor. Just seemed like a short window to me but who knows maybe different factories with different turn arounds
