>>11748744If there really was an official sally acorn figure being made after all these years Gen-X furfags would have a generational meltdown of euphoria
>>11748744Calling it now. It's another custom instagram thing, or whatever Chris Chan did
Looks like they added the white part to her dress
>>11748752yes this is obviously another TitotheOG custom. He did the same with his Terios custom and put in in package at a target store pretending it was real. Another time he also faked a Jakks shipping box to say he got a shipment from them when showing off customs
>>11748798Don't hate the guy but all I'm gonna say is the fetal alcohol syndrome on his face is fucking evident
>>11748798the bright side is that Weredragons are at a TJ Maxx now. I hope we all get one there
>>11748919This is an all right April Fools joke. A bigger effort would be going to other stores though
>>11749126>those knee jointsFake as fuck
>>11749126Wrong Sonic art.
I fucking hate Jakks Pacific’s distribution, for real.Every time a wave released it’s like>hey Tikal is out, better make sure you’re at Target the day they restock or else you’re never going to get her. Don’t worry though, there will be 200 Sonics left over from the previous 25 waves where they packed him in 3:1 to the other characters. Also there’s a 3 pack of just Sonic available if you missed him!And this is at every store. A dozen Sonics and nobody else. Oh wait never mind, because there’s a 50 figure display of the stupid fucking DC Comics crossover shit where it’s always easy to find every character. I spoke too soon.Oh you want a good chance at getting new stuff? Go to GameStop…Except 500 of them closed this past year, so now there’s only one left in your entire city. We also put an exclusive plush of Tails Doll that literally everybody wants there. Just felt like the right place, the dying retail chain that nobody goes to anymore.Then there’s the Sega line, where the geniuses at Jakks decided on a 3:1 ratio of AiAi in the first wave, just killing the entire thing before it even gets started. Except in Canada, where you can get the IDW characters we for some reason decided to shoehorn into this line instead of the Sonic one. If you live anywhere else but Canada, fuck you. You Americans can wait until they randomly appear in 5 different discount chain stores by complete chance, and we’ll only give one figure to the entire store. And you Europeans get dick. Perhaps the Sega line would’ve done well had the brainlets at Jakks not loaded up on Monkey Balls…or given any Sega characters people actually give a fuck about.Cannot wait for 20 years from now when “collectors” selling old stock on eBay suddenly decide that Sonic is a “rare” figure, as if he wasn’t littering every toy shelf in the world that nobody fucking wanted because everybody alive who could’ve wanted one already got one in wave 1. Fuck this company.
>>11750795im sorry for being the lucky one. I get to find nearly every figure (except Weredragon) so much that I dont value them anymore. I once saw Mephiles and passed on it
>>11749126It's a good April Fools gag, and it'd finally get me to buy in (even if it is the inferior design).
>>11750795At least you can choose from any one of the same 4 Sonics that are barely different
>>11748919>>11749126I don't even get the point of these dumb jokes. The line struggles to get anything new out, and then everything sits for ages...just, why do this?
>>11750795Pretty much. Only reason why I've stopped collecting the figures now, maybe I'll come back for Sage and 2.5 inch Blaze, but for now it's hopeless.
Saw the whole dc 5in line at walmart and the joints look awful, wanted to grab amy but the plastic on the elbows already looked stressed what the fuck
Maybe Jada or S.H. figuarts should get the license to make them
>>11751623No. Being top-heavy/big-headed was already an issue in toy design, we'd end up paying a premium for those problems
What are the odds of a reissue?
>>11750795>Then there’s the Sega line, where the geniuses at Jakks decided on a 3:1 ratio of AiAi in the first wave, just killing the entire thing before it even gets started.We will never get a NiGHTS figure and it pisses me off.
>>11751725I just want Vyse. Don't need the others
>>11751719Wouldn't that require it to have come out in the first place?
>>11750795>>11751725When the Sega line was first shown off, I naively thought that AiAi would be the only one people actually wanted. Instead, both it and Axel shelfwarm so hard that no store ever bothers to order the second wave, nevermind the third. The worst part is, knowing how things are with Jakks, I should have expected all that and for the line to go to shit well before my pie and the sky hopes of getting NiGHTS, Jet Set Radio, or Crazy Taxi could even come up.The IDW figures piss me off, not because I don't care about those characters (well, I don't, but I know others do) but because they make the lack of those characters I'd hoped for stick out even more. In a market predicated on boomerish nostalgiabait, I can understand giving preferential treatment to Genesis-era franchises, but to go from those straight to limited appeal OC comic characters (with obligatory Sonic repaint) seems insane. In a better world where Jakks can distribute anything, the comic figures could be a line in themselves. A small one, sure, and probably one that would still be scalped, but even that would be better than having it be a parasitic add-on to a line that no one ever sees outside of a single monkey.I won't even talk about the misery of haunting for figures in the main line. Everyone knows how bad it is. For a while, I was "lucky" enough to have a Target on my way home from work, so it would only take five minutes out of my day to check for new figures. I would check probably three times a week, and even then there were plenty that I would just never see. The fact that anybody would have to do such a thing in the first place in order to find the "right" fucking toys is absurd. Well, maybe the absurdity is that autistic retards like me subject themselves to it. Now I've resigned myself to never finding Neo Metal, Tikal, or probably any of the new figures. Of course, somehow stores being flooded with Sonics and never buying another wave seems to be fine for Jakks.
>>11751930Well said.
>>11751930If I were in charge of the Sonic license at Jakks Pacific, and granted, my ideas would probably sink the company, this is how I'd handle it.1. Have the comic characters folded into the regular Sonic line. We can surely slip in Tangle and Whisper and so forth amidst all the re-releases of Sonic.2. Keep the SEGA line about SEGA. Ideally, do a bit of balance between Megadrive nostalgia, Saturn nostalgia, and Dreamcast and onward nostalgia, but adjust according to fan and retailer demand.3. And probably most controversially... make a line of premium figures based on the movies and shows. We don't need figures of Maddie's fat sister, but there are a lot of fun, toyetic designs that are just left on the table. Like, why did we get labcoat grampa Gerald and not his Scorpion armor?
