Let's get one started. What releases are you looking forward to? What do you have ordered right now?
>>11725902the old Resident Evil designs were cool
>>11725902You couldn't at least post a list of Third Party companies?>Snail Shell>Fury Toys/Rage Toys/Rave Toys>Keepgoing Studio>Maestro Union>Cang Toys>CiYuanJuXiang (EXSSRION)>Metytoyz>Notta Collections>Egg Toys>Powerspotoy>Hasuki>DamToys>SexyIce2019>FEXT HOBBY>Xcocann Studio
>>11725920Thanks
>>11725920Nta but why does it really matter
>>11725920How can you call a company 3rd party when they do their own original creations or have actual licence?
>>11725902>Kraken Studios Silent Village school girlhaven't even played Silent Village but liked the look of her. I don't have a huge preorder list but most of it is Chinese too>Notta Collections Horse>Nanmu Crocodile>KeepGoing skeletons
>>11725948we should just call it the Chinese Company (3rd) Party Thread
>>11725948If they have no official physical distribution locations then they count. Everything on that list must be pre-ordered or is kept in reserve in some warehouse until ordered online.
>>11725920Do you not know what third party means Do you think every Chinese company automatically means third party?Most of those companies make 100% original figures or after doing licensed or public domain characters.>>11725954The previous thread was called something like Sexy Ice and Friends, which worked for me. Can't call it Chinese Toy general because it will get mixed up with the other /ctg/. >>11725954>Chinese Company (3rd) Party Thread>/ccp/Based. I vote in favor of /ccp/.
I was posing the monke to do the pole standing pose for like 15 minutes, just to figure out it wont fit my cabinet.
These threads die without a flagship brand or toyline. I've been on this board a long time and seen similar threads die quick. Mainly because Third Party is the wrong term for this new paradigm shift happening in China. It doesn't even have a word to describe it at the moment. Confusing /toy/ posters with a vague, ultimately inaccurate OP title is a death sentence for the thread. Pick a brand, include release dates for upcoming toys from that brand, and list off all the others that fall under the umbrella. Put in a modicum of effort and posters will respond in kind.
>>11725951ah screw it I just ordered the boat as well since I'm too lazy to build my own and it looks great.kinda large now that I look at the specs, oh well.
>>11726100don't know if you've been paying attention buddy, but third party describes it perfectly to a tee
>>11725902Where can I buy this? Specifically the original design ones
>>11726328>third party>Unlicensed, original designs that often pay homage to, or are based on, existing IP charactersIf figures of an original IP are posted then are they Third Party?
I don't get it either and would agree with >>11726100I've gotten interested in stuff because of a well done general. I'm not going to full-on buy Mythic Legions but I like their accessory packs and boght some for someone else who does do fantasy and might, one day, buy some shit for myself. A year ago, I had no idea that was a thing, and though of accessory packs as 15-20 weapons. Or fodder you buy on the secondary market.>>11726328>but third party describes it perfectlysomething described perfectly, sis, is something many can agree on.you and op are two peoplethere are as many who disagree so farand the fact the thread is mostly arguing about this and it keeps dropping means 'perfect' ain't quite perfect
>>11726063The detail on these is so fucking good.
What are the best options for RE2/4 Leon and Ada? Preferably without soft goods but I haven't seen any without.
Is the thread for 3rd party like dragon ball/transformers/what's in the opOris it for Chinese companies with their own IPs and official products like snail shell, ladotoys, and sexyice?I wouldn't call them the same especially snail shell who actually does official IP work like nikke and Yu-Gi-Oh
>>11726574They're all slop goods. Except the older, official figures.
OP here: I wasn't even trying to make a general, I just wanted to start up a thread talking about third party figures I'm looking into or curious for and if there's any others who are doing the same. Genuinely don't understand why so many are getting hung up about making a general "the right way" when that wasn't even my goal and people can't seem to agree on one thing enough to make it a regular thing. It's the reason why I didn't bother putting "General" in the title in the first place.If people want to make a proper general then by all means do so if you feel like it. I just want to talk about and look at some upcoming figures is all.>>11725951Yep I have her ordered too, she looks decent so far. I also have the Hot Play Chris from RE8 and Leon 2.0 from RE4 remake by Patriot Studio.>>11726492Pre-orders aren't up yet but I usually order my stuff from OneSixthKit or Gundamit.
>>11726728the only other guy I had my eyes on was this, nice looking alt heads.
>>11726728>l, I just wanted to start up a thread talking about third party figuresso transformers shit? because transformers fags are the only ones that use that term
Years ago 5ktoys showed this on their Instagram. There was never any follow up. I'm still upset.
>>11726744>the only ones that use that termNot really and you'd have to be purposely dense to assume so. Nevermind that they already have a dedicated general going for so long.
>>11726745I remember that. Surprised they didn't follow through since it looked simple enough.
>>11726746>really and you'd have to be purposely dense to assume so. Nevermind that they already have a dedicated general going for so long.weird because bbts only shows transformers crap in the third party tag, stop with the false narrative
>>11725902Demake design is such a big downgrade
>>11726751>bbts
can you just call the general: chink shit general /csg/ already like every other board you fucking reddit newfag?
>>11726728>wants promo shots of upcoming releases>doesn't even want people to post pictures of figures they already ownTop kek
Is there some kind of acrylic coating you can apply to pleather soft goods to reduce peeling? Any one have any experience? Pic related
>>11725980>I vote in favor of /ccp/.seconded
>>11725902How are Patriot Studio stuff? the quality is good?
>>11726816>calling me a newfag while unironically begging for a generalNot every thread has to be a fucking general on this board you dingus. Similar threads have come and gone plenty of times with no problems whatsoever and you don't see me throwing a bitchfit every time.>>11726893Never said you couldn't. I've posted plenty of my own pics before in similar threads.
>>11725902Right now there's plenty of stuff I like, but for the time being I'm really looking forward to the Anaconda Smasher from Sexyice and pic related.
>>11727172Pic of the Sexyice one btw
>>11727175speaking of sexyice I'm waiting for this one but given the price of the dogs well I dunno how much he'll cost...
>>11726745>order some shit on 5k>two items are cancelled after two years of waiting for restock, have to email about 7 times to get the deposits back>by the time two others release, they've increased shipping to my country by almost 10x what was originally quoted (and about triple what it would actually cost to send it)>fuck you pay slightly less to get gouged out the ass by a US post forwarding service>no refunds on deposit btw :)Great store honestly.
>>11726816The embarrassing part is tiny studio chinkshit bootlegs and IP theft is pissing and shitting on license holders and major toy producers.
>>11725902This faggot, since I learned he has ratched joints I've wanted to get him. Hopefully the clicking sound will remain till the final product.I need a big guy among my toys.
>>11728699I only use Gundamit these days.
I collect third party myth cloth figuresthe lost canvas line made by shinetime is really good
>>11728766
>>11728699>no refunds on deposit btw :)Do they give you your money in points like Gundamit or is that money completely lost? First time I ordered something from 5k and I'm starting to regret it.
>>11728703Well to be fair, they don't have to pay for the IP. Who knows how much more money that means they have to invest in the toy quality.
According to BBB he will be released at the end of the year. As long as the quality is good, I personally don't mind waiting.
>>11728829I couldn't be fucked arguing in the end and lost about 80USD in deposits. They've made it pretty clear they do not want to deal with international customers at all, which is a shame because prior to that id bought about 10 or so items from them without issues. >>11728762Yeah ive pretty much switched to Showzstore and Gundamit who Ive only had great experiences with.
>>11729364>about 80USD in depositsHoly crap...
>>11729364I had a similar thing happen with Bombusbee. Well, not really similar, but another case of chink companies awful communication resulting in the customer getting fucked. I had 2 items come into stock in the same week and I asked if they could combine shipping. They did, but some glitch in their website (this was just after they updated it) made the total almost 5x what it should have been, I think it was saying $550 instead of $120 if I remember right. So I contact them and tell them that it's glitching and I'll pay as soon as it's fixed, and they just cancelled my order without even replying to me. So I lost my deposit on both items, and then had to chase down Snail Shell Muse Asdo since she had sold out everywhere.I added up how much I had in prepaid deposits and I think I had about $30-$40 worth, and decided I'd rather eat the loss than deal with their bullshit ever again.Gundamit get my business now.
>>11725902Capcom is realy losing out on Money by not making figures
>>11725902verdugo action figure when desu
>>11730114I really don't get it. They license the hell out of their other games. Mega Man and Street Fighter figures are being made by so many different companies at the moment. I don't get why RE is so guarded.
>>11730137Honestly since they don’t seem to care about companies making third party offerings, I don’t really care. The patriot studio stuff is great.
Looking forward to this set coming out. Not sure if I'll display the human or ghoul version first.
>>11730125you'll take your 2 decade old NECA and like it
>>11730272It's a great figure still, so sure.
Glorp.
>>11730273I wish the same could be said of leon or hunk...
Man fuck Sexyice, I received a Smasher with shoulders frozen stiff and nothing could make them move. I asked on their Instagram if they knew a way to fix it, I didn't even ask for a replacement cause the rest was smooth, but they never answered. Fuck them hard.
>>11732282Pics?
>>11732299
>>11732282Have you tried hot water or silicon shock oil?
>>11732389Yup, I did, it worked perfectly for my Eliminator but this fucker is really stiff.
>>11730170That’s pretty sick, actually. May also cop.
>>11732409Maybe try some other way to contact the SexyIce2019 guys? I doubt the Instagram is the best place to ask QC questions. Why would they openly admit to such things on their advertising platform?
Anybody here have the new Ada figure? What's the cheapest place she's available? I've seen her go for upwards of $150 on some sites.
>>11732306put him in the freezer.
>>11732674 i dont know,sorry
>>11732846Thanks, anon.
>>11732674Oh damn, she wasn't that high just days before her release. All the listings I can find seem to have doubled in price since then.
>>11732888What did she retail for? I'm not willing to spend that much on her... but she is a great looking figure.
>>11732900She retailed for around $110 shipped on the usual sites.
>>11725902If we're talking 3rd party, I'm greatly anticipating this Hornet figure. Apparently there was some worry over whether it'll actually even be Hornet, but preorder listings seem to confirm that she will indeed have the Hornet head sculpt and another additional option for a mantis one instead. It genuinely feels like they had every intention to make a generic bug on a coomer body but wound up receiving way more support and interest because they posted the sculpt that had the modeler's custom headsculpt on it and just accepted the fact that they'd be doing 3rd party figures now
>>11732931Wait so the custom Hornet head is going to be legit now? I only held off ordering this because of what the modeler said at the time.
>>11732933The comment on the gundamit listing where I first saw this tweet screencap reported made me do the same thing until 5ktoys listed it.https://5ktoys.com/products/preorder-wanvue-studio-1-12-silk-puppet-action-figureHere there are two listings for separate figures. 5 bucks down doesn't hurt too bad, and final price is a great deal if true. So not worried about the risk. Also a comment on that gundamit post claims they're keeping the Hornet design and running with that too - as evidenced by the preorder options.DO BE WARYThe mold in this picture for the second option doesn't match some of the promo images. Look at the spines on the thighs and calves. Not present or only half present in some images. Or the feet. This image has heels, the other has bug feet. Either these are prototype options, ai generated mock ups, or intended features. It's unclear to me. Download the image here and the filename says Gemini generated - likely the background but it's clear they use the tool for marketing now.
Are there any third party Final Fantasy 7 figures, out or in the works? Besides etsy OG chibi look printed things.
>>11733060third party? like bootlegs?
>>11733063As in any option BESIDES Square Enix Play Arts Kai.
>>11732845Really or are you pulling my leg?
>>11733060I wish, fell for the trap with the twins
>>11725920So I went and po this Whale Works black body, I love ultra articulation and based on their videos this fella can compete with Amazing Yamaguchi, if for a bit.Plus I like the painted Spider head, I think I'll give him a weapon and put him to fight against my Iron Spider.
>>11733101Making me tempted to track down an option for a muscular twink body and custom make a Cloud in 1/12 scale... Is there any recommendation for such a project?
I found this on Facebook, Keepgoing was going to release a bunch of skeleton recolors for $20, and apparently this guy received his, and his first impression is not the best for the toy's articulation. I can't complain for that price but if true I wish it had come with more movement. Granted I still don't have it so I can't speak yet.
>>11733110>muscular twink buck recommendationsYou're not pressed for options if you want muscular. I'm dying to find a femboy body that's not ripped and tall. The figma Ryo swimsuits are OoS and have insane aftermarket prices. But to answer your question, probably this one.https://www.bigbadtoystore.com/product/figure-body-one-vb002-1_12-scale-action-figure-body-bonus-149211Others like Romankey or >>11733105 are gonna be larger and more muscular. Another option is maybe the Jet Studio blank bodies released for the Metal Slug male figures. They're short, but not too bulky and still muscular. They're odd in how they're thin, but still wide if that makes sense. The difference between the strong and normal is just arm bulk. Their leg articulation is weird and feels bad at the hip/pelvic region, but the arm range has insane swivel across the body with the pop-out butterfly joint-esque swivel in the shoulders. Wait for me to get home and I can take pics of the Jet Studio and show you if you want. These bodies are also more tan than white so they don't go with a lot anyways.>>11733201The lack of hands but 4 different head sculpts that you only get a total of 3 randomized with each figure was the killer for me. Such an extravagant waste when people much prefer practical accessories on top of a lootbox randomizer was just insulting. Give me the damn closed grip hand for skeleton soldiers, not your edgy pet project demon horn headsculpt. Once I noticed that in the promo images (combined with the notorious Keepgoing Studio QC roulette and oversized 1/12 scaling they have) I decided to hold off. Seeing this I'm not impressed. Pass. I've seen better skeleton 3 packs elsewhere for a comparable price.
>>11733272Is there anywhere to get that Romankey body for cheap? Seems to be $100+ everywhere I see.
>>11733201I ordered a bunch of those. I don't need them to be amazing, just wanting some fodder for other characters.
>>11733292eBay.>>11733272That linked body is tempting, how do I tell which neck joint it uses for the custom heads I can find on eBay? (Shf, mezco, whatever else)I can make my own outfit choices, but some good Buster/Fusion sword and harness for it would be nice too, any source on that possibly? A little Bigger than proper scale is fine, just need to have it be not TOO big.Also would wonder about any genitalia options, since the RomanKey and KOs have some, despite being too "manly" in proportions.
>>11733381Are those not knockoffs on eBay though?
>>11733381>eBayI was gonna point out that prices there are absurdly high, but if it's sold out everywhere well then fuck it.
>>11733292Gundamit has white 5ktoys has yellow and black
>>11733420The Romankey body? I’m not seeing it on 5ktoys
>>11733431https://www.gundamit.com/1-12-action-figure-girl-body-white-color_p2073.html
>>11733433Oh sorry I was looking for the male one
>>11733434https://www.hktoybox.com/en/product-page/romankey-x-cowl-1-12-%E7%94%B7%E7%B4%A0%E9%AB%94-%E5%86%8D%E7%89%88They have the normal black oneBBTS has the big male in whiteI got one on eBay a month after they sold out in most places so you might have to go there
>>11733292The preorders for the re-release was under a year ago and I received mine months ago. So they should be relatively available, but no telling if they'll ever reissue it again now that they did. The female reissues just arrived this Feb. I got multiples of each and suggested people grab at least 1 in the event they spike in price and don't see a reissue for years if at all.>>11733381>linked bodyHere's a video that shows the modification to shorten it. There is also apparently two different neck heights that come with it.https://www.instagram.com/reel/DR-hClKEjvl/You can see the ball joint neck peg, and Google ai answers say its a 5-6mm ball but I couldn't locate where it got that info. Just look up YT videos until you see people headswap and compatability test. I don't have one myself nor do I have a digital measurement reader.>custom headsI see many listings offer options considerate of various bodies' head joint connection sizes. I have also seen FF7 heads like Tifa and Aerith, so you should be good there.>I can make my own outfit choices>Cloud>Muscular Twink>Genitalia optionsBro is gonna make a crossdressing twunk Cloud figure. Based? Sorry, I know of no other male figures with genitals. I think I saw the Nota figure have a convenient peg hole there? A lot more effort and overt nsfw implications than sculpting nips and cameltoe for female figures.>SwordI promise you'll find one on Aliexpress, Ebay, or Etsy. No doubt. Possibly even just resale from an opened Cloud figure maybe. Just use Buster sword or Bastard sword in search.
>>11733440Dang it I still kick myself for passing on the black big guy Romankey body, and since it was limited I'm fucked.
>>11725902>preorder Smashers in December 2025>no notification email of the status changing, money still not charged for the full amount >python recolor preorder goes up "Nah, I got a couple reds on the way, surely.">three months go by, no word>I finally decide to contact them>its order updates immediately, then changes to shipped>email says "we just got them, thanks for the email!" What kinda tomfoolery is this? Did they use my preordered items to super slam them on the aftermarket for 2x value? They shipped a long ass time ago.
Also, the recolor looks way different in hand than it does in the promo shots. I quite like the sports team colors more, but this is bitching.
>>11733480The thing I don't like about this recolor is the foreams and calves being greyish. I would've preferred the same gunmetal greenish they used for the chest and shoulder pads.
>>11733485In the photo above it appears to have a lot less blue tinting and the grey is actually a de-saturated OD green. I don't dislike it, but the original had a nice dynamic between the teal and the dark red.
>>11733444I *might* be making a Crossdressing Cloud Strife, yes, but I'm not going to pursue game outfit accuracy, those things are waaay too intricate and delicate to get right.
>>11732666Which other sites would be a better choice? I don't think their Twitter or Facebook will be any different.
Just got these guys in. They're awesome. Way better/bigger than I expected. Feel really nice in the hand, lots of accessories, good articulation. They're from Hero Toys. I think they do some other Warcraft and Diablo stuff but this is the first that I have gotten. There is another company that does some non-cute Murlocs that I'm also looking at.
>>11733515Lol, I called it. There can be some good intricate outfits, but not too intricate. I think the main issue is size and fit. Most dresses or whatever will be too tight around the barrel to fit a male - and that's assuming it's a sleeveless outfit so the wide and larger shoulders don't also get in the way. Good luck, I know it'd be easier for me to make a crossdressing Alphinaud. Bratty twink deserves correction.
>>11733086Really. It's the opposite of heat, which makes the plastic softer. It can help the plastic constrict and can loosen what's causing it to be so stuck. Put it in for at least an hour then take it out. Move the joint carefully, holding close to the actual joint point.
>>11733550nice, they look great
>>11733608I mean, it's begging for it practically with this.
>>11725902Why hasn't Capcom licensed RE out for 1/12 figures?
>>11733471So you didn't pay fully for your orders? Or they charged you for your stuff after you send them the message?
>>11733718Nah, like I said. It's impossible to find male bodies that aren't ripped and tall. I want a femboy, not a man in drag
>>11733753It was too be paid on fulfillment and they didn't charge me until after I asked them nicely what time they thought it would be in. It just seems like they have been sitting on my order left unfulfilled for at least a month. Didn't these smashers ship around early January from the manufacturer?
>>11733523You can only contact where you bought it from. Maybe they can ask for replacement from the SexyIce2019 guys. I'm sure the don't you spreading around social media with pics or clips for proof their QC sucks.
>>11733772So do I, but at least cloud has a muscled femboy look.
>>11733742>1/12 RE figures>"Your wish is granted">company that has taken measures to censor fanservice for men while having hordes of post-wall dehydrated hoochies creaming over Leon involved in developmentYou will get everything you asked for and nothing you wanted.
>>11733742It's a mystery considering all the other slop they've allowed.
>>11733779What the hell, was that from Bombusbee? I think the shipping indeed began around December or January
>>11734056That confirms it. They sold mine and had to wait to order replacements after the market shock upon their arrival. Last time I buy from those guys. Not bombus, some online retailer in the north pacific. I'm not entirely mad about it because these are mine not resale, but I did sweat when the Pythons came and went and I still didn't know if I'd get them.
>>11733718That does look like Cloud's Edgy Lean.
Does anyone know if Brotoys or Patriot Studios ever does rereleases? Thinking I'm screwed for their older RE stuff since it's all gone.
>>11734692The closest thing they've done is releasing a Leon 2.0 of sorts with a smaller frame and altered head sculpt to closely match his remake appearance. I haven't seen them do rereleases so far.
>>11734166Goddammit, this comment and >>11729862 made me dread about my pos. Whenever my Smasher is up to pay I will ask them, I don't wanna miss on those beautiful Ananconda Sexyice stuff.
>>11734692I think Brotoys is doing a re-release of their Kratos from GoW 2018
>>11725913Classic design just blows neo trashbag design out of the water. Wtf were they thinking
Just noticed 5ktoys took down the listing for the classic Nemesis preorders… hopefully this isn’t a sign that Capcom is finally coming after the third party companies
>>11736655Hopefully it's a sign new official figures will actually happen.
>>117366555ktoys sometimes does that for the first pre-orders.You can still order from here thankfully. It went OOS pretty fast when first launched but is now fine.https://gundamit.com/patriot-studio-1-12-oldsnake-type-i-version-type-ii-version-set-w-mysterious-objects_p9928.html
Man i dont buy the bronze armor because i want the sage armor for the wukong, and now they release bosses first which make sense i guess
>>11726741I ended up getting this fwiw, loved the show. The Aliexpress shipper included big bubble wrap plus corner plastic which is beyond what I've seen before. Thank you Chhyna.
>>11737296Holy fuck, I dig the design, if he's around 90 or so I'll get him.
>>11738462They let Issac Wong play with an early sample. Looks good in hand. Supposedly they're using a softer plastic for the hair on the final.
>>11738462The game itself is really good game with good design, i recommend any gamers to play. A lot of bosses can fit to any mythical toys setup, picrel is one of my fav
>>11737296>there are reviews alreadyHoly fuck what? How long has this thing been on po?>>11738794I don't have a console so I'll be happy to watch playthroughs.
>>11738862judging by anthonycustoms reviews, they're some kind of test figures since they're making tweaks
>>11739092Ah I see, at least I know more or less what the quality and articulation will be like.
>>11733550Got a couple more Murloc dudes.
>>11739303Don't know anythign about warcraft but I was tempted by these, they look great
>>11738862Its on PC too, but yeah playtru is fine
>>11739540It's on PC? Nice
>>11726893Sick figures. Sick spiders. v peak anon
any suggestions for third party umbrella soldiers or hunk lookalikes? Poseable and 1/12 preferably.
>>11740692There was a Hunk figure by GMToys. maybe Patriot Studios will do another one. maybe they're even the same company, hard to tell with the Chinese ones
>>11739303I have the Archer, it's a pretty neat figure.
>>11740692Jin Roh figure by SkullToyz
>>11740692
>>11741626From what I read this one is a QC nightmare.
>>11740692If you have the cash I'd recommend Unkval Eliminator, but I think he's no less than $400-500 right now.
>>11740692>>11741603May be worth it to pay the late tax on this one, but Patriot Studio or Lim Toys could very well be doing a Hunk, considering his appearance in Requiem.Damtoys just posted pic-related. This is true 1:12, so he won't be meshing with GI Joe or anything western, really.Pic is the exclusive, the only real differences between it and the regular are the mask/magazine paint stripe color, a shotgun (reg version), MP5 variant and the breaching charge.
>>11741700Dang this is so fucking cool. Any more of this kind of toys from real event?
>>11742357
>>11742364What the fuck, would i be nazi if i own this
>>11742387not if you exclusively pose him getting his ass beat
>>11742357Not from Damtoys in 1:12, at least. They mostly did Platoon figures in 1:12, but they also did a couple of Hong Kong officers, and a couple of SAS CRW figures, which look to share quite a bit of parts with the Nimrod versions.>>11742364DiD/3R have done several named Germans besides Uncle Adolf, plus those snazzy M33 LSSAH parade figures.
>>11725902I'm not sure if this is real or not, but this took my attention. If true, there's apparently some studio trying to make an Unkval look-alike.
>>11743837That's it
>>11733515Updates in the customs thread here
>>11743837looks almost exactly like it infact probably just a place holder
