Why is this so deadMy walmart got Noivern wave btw, they all look pretty bad
>>11753682Unfortunately, there's nothing really exciting to talk about.Jazwares blew most of their load for the year at toy fair, with a few interesting offerings but who knows when we'll see the stuff on the shelves.The shelves as they are now are filled with either peg warmers or stuff that kind of sucks (like the current 3 Select figures)Blokees, we haven't heard a peep of what new stuff they may be doing, if anything.
>>11753682Jazzwares items barely release now. Most stores dont even get entire waves of items anymore and walmart has mainly gotten old stock from 2 years ago and nothing new. Target even removed the scizor and mega charizard y figures from their website.
>>11753682It came out in the files that the Israelis were controlling 4chan for years. People cancelled their subscriptions and everyone else hates the captchas. The facade of anonymity is gone and people don't want to share their identity here. Corporations track your purchases, screentime, political stances, fetishes, and idiolect. The bots and normies were getting out of control before the captchas were a deterrent and now it's a little slower. It's not too bad of a problem for me. I was missing out on releases when the threads were too fast.
>>11753406>still no new Giratina figure>tfw no new battle figure giratina...giratinabros...
>>11753682>Why is this so deadMonColle barely makes any new things. They just keep reprinting the same older figures now. Blokees hasn't had anything new in a while.Bandai PokePla mostly suck and they insist on using the stupid stickers that ruin figuresJazwares figures are impossible to find in storesKeeppley and LCDX haven't had anything new lately.
>>11742924good time to show off photos from my last tokyo trip then
A Rellor where you get to roll your shit with
>>11753697Kisses me off Blokees dont have the Pokémon license in America. Their stuff is so quality and it scales almost perfectly with Figurearts and Figma trainers. Im kind of hoping more companies adopt Blokees model of having clean cut part you just gotta snap together. I'd love if Bandai did that for Figurearts. Get the price down while giving us effects. Most toys are assembled by wage slaves anyway. Might as well cut them out and pass the savings on to the customer.
This is what the Pokemon aisle at a Tokyo Toys R Us looks like. Note the open battle arena display
these pictures were taken in Sunshine City. Sadly, the same mall where a Center employee got stabbed
Last one is Bandai Head office in Asakusa
>>11753741Does it actually come with a figure? Might need this...
>>11753757it better. I didnt get it because it was taller than a moncolle, which is why i got the Clodsire game instead
>>11753682>Why is this so deadI'm not even getting new poke figures in my town
>>11753750God we suck as a country. I want all that.
Are you excited for Lego pokemon with minifigures and molded pokemon?
>>11753682Which country gets Selects at walmart? I know places that have Target get it there, others with Ebgames or Smyths get them there.
bruh
>>11753891Mexico
>>11753887Do you want that? Because they only have Takara Tomy items on the shelves. Nothing else.
>>11754060This is what made Tomy USA great. We had a local connection for moncolles and other japan exclusives, alongside USA figures. Now im just wondering about all the fans in Japan importing our stuff
>>11754062Back then USA had the best of both worlds. It's weird that Japan apparently doesn't care too much for larger articulated figures like the ones Tomy USA was making.
>>11754060We don't even have those here, so I'll take it.Beats getting from HLJ.
>>11753746>>11753750That's really great, I want the same one
>>11753738>>11753765The Clodsire looks fun. How does the game work?
>>11753714Gen 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9 legendaries are all forgettable
Bad bitches only
>>117547459's are definitely memorable just for their constant presence with the player, and I'm very partial to 6's cool norse theme and general play patterns in game.
>>11754565you balance all the Poopers on Clodsire that you you can, while on the rounded removable base
>>11754745Not really, most of the main legendaries are popular, and most have good designs
>>11754060>they only have [good thing] on the shelvesYes? Obviously?
What are the chances of a magearna rerelease?
>>11755025Moncolle is boring. Everything is the same size. Charizard as tall as Ditto as tall as Snorlax. They barely make any new figures these days too. Mostly reprints of older figures from years ago and mostly Kanto stuff.
>>11755158Moncolle used to be a great provider for the small mons. Then they stopped using that gloss finish. Bla bla good old days
>>11755058Probably not too likely but I'd get it if they did. Same with a lot of the small pixie mythicals.
>>11755209Same. I got a Diancie from a lot, but she's missing a stand if she had any.My Charcadet can't stand for his life.
>>11754062The Japanese prefer Scale World for its scale and beautiful molds that are very faithful to the game. Or Bandai Kids for a very large variety of differents Pokémon at a very low cost. Moncolle was also very popular there, but I get the impression that it's a little less sought after than it used to be by Japanese collectors.
>>11753890Yes, I am very excited
Kraftmaxxing
>>11757636is Blokees already dead? Who was in here saying they and tpci were beefing over some religious shit or something? was there truth to that?
>>11757850Idk but the figures are pretty good.
for the upcoming large pokeball that reveals a scene inside lego set. rumored to include red, oak, blue, the starter trio, pikachu and eevee
>>11757850We haven't heard anything in a while, but hopefully not. They were probably the best Pokemon figures for the price you could get.
>>11757853>>11757930they are all so good even if the sizing isnt as good as it could be. Thats why I hope the line isn't dead but the silence and shift to single releases for Machamp and Nido are confusing
>>11757861So Oak's Lab, likely.>large pokeball that reveals a sceneSounds like another expensive set I'll skip.
Those who got Nidoking, are his arms supposed to be the exact same? Mirroring them the claws look slightly off, and I know they fucked up on giving same arms before.Least the feet had mold codes in them to differentiate.
>>11758007it's said to be $260
>>11753753Race traitor!
I'm still holding out hope that we get a high-quality Lickitung figure by Blokees. Imagine all the poses he could make with his tongue.
>>11757835This one is a weird choice they designed it so he can only sit upright>>11758013The instructions lumps duplicate parts together and different parts as 1x took me a minute to decide which was left and which was right, I think on the outside they're the same but it's the internals how the joints sit that makes them different, the insides are reversed
>>11758719
>>11758724Nidoback.
>>11758724They arms are identical. The joints just look like that depending on which way they were inserted into the shoulder. Same as every other part of all the Blokees with those type of two-part joints in them.
>>11757989The size is better than the figuarts at least, they're biggerThey're within the range of "canon" game sizes, charizard is like 5.3, and you can fudge that up to 5.10 if you go on the toes and tripod with the tailgame is 5.8Figuarts is only 4.6 if you can manage to get the head to stay on
>>11758724Aw fuck, got two lefties then.Guess I'll ring up GD.
>>11758776I meant the sizes between the little Blokees and the larger Pokemon. The little figures look so silly next to the larger ones. Machop and Charmander are too big next to Machamp and Charizard, etc.
>>11758803Don't be dumb now >>11758752
>>11758840Select Scizor looking good.
>>11758776D-arts was truly garbage even when it was new and the only one. To think it took an American company, then Blokees, to actually do Charizard correctly
>>11759441Select Zard is ugly
>>11759746still more handsome than D-arts
New wave of TCG figure toys.
New statues based on Pokemon Masters outfits.
>>11759754
>>11759756statues are not toys you fucking retard holy shit
>>11759754I'm scared of this line. With the unchanged toxic scalping energy of the TCG and the fact that it's a blindbox, I was already at peace with the full separation of toy and card collecting culture
>>11759754Wish Octillery was among them, since theyre all water types. I think I'm good to pass on all of these, but is there any site that sells individual ones?
>>11759750No
>>11759807
>>11759807Gotta disagree, D Arts is way uglier. Only things it has going for it is slightly better scale and better looking fire. Blokees mog both beyond belief though. Pretty much 0 point in getting either of them when the Blokees is avaliable. Also get the Blokees Nidoking. Its fantastic and scales incredibly with figma and figurearts trainers.
my kid (4 yrs old) is just getting into pokemon and i ordered him some toys today - wish I'd seen this thread sooner. I went with a few Jazwares Battle Figures to start him out and see how he likes them. I'm assuming those are the best choice for kids, or is there something better?
>>11760479Take him to a Pokemon Center in Japan one day, he will explode. For now, Jazwares and Blokees are perfect. Scale World isnt for kids, by the way. And not worth the price to plastic neither
>>11759754I NEED PALAFINThat starmie looks amazing
>>11759756They're prize figures, not statues. Like the Cynthia one. Also speaking of, she goes for about $10 on most sites, at least I gog mine for that much. Highest I saw was $20, these will be pretty cheap too likely
>>11758807Machop is 2'07 and Machamp is 5'03 they scale fine together.
>>11760499>and BlokeesDepends on if he still puts things in his mouth. Tiny parts.
>>11760443I think you misunderstood my post. I didn't say that D-Arts Zard is better than Blokee Zard. I know perfectly well that Blokee is better.I was saying that D-Arts is better than Select Zard. Because Select Zard looks like an old toy for a 5-year-old. Its joints are very ugly and noticeable, the plastic switches from glossy to matte for no reason, the sculpting and proportions look strange, the hole is ridiculous, the eyes aren't sculpted, and the paint application is sometimes sloppy and so on.I'm not saying D-Arts is perfect; it has some flaws. But at least it looks like a genuine collector's item, with a clean appearance (for those who own an authentic D-Arts).
>>11760499Blokee for a 4-year-old? You're crazy.It can easily fall apart, some pieces can get lost, broken, or even swallowed. Blokee is more like a collector's item. Give Bandai Kids toys instead; they're inexpensive, very very durable, and offer the largest selection of characters of all the Pokémon toy lines.
>>11760612Yet you picture the Machop with a tomy Machamp? The Blokees Machop and Machamp look kinda funny together
>>11760479>>11760653As a kid I had a combination of Gen1 Bandai Kids, Tomy minifgures and these pencil top figures that were around the same size. My favorite were the Tomy cause they looked the best. For a kid now I'd get the Jazwares battle figures as they're meant for kids. The Jazwares minifgures are basically the same as modern Moncolle/Tomy figures without the gloss.
>>11759754that slowbro has herpes
>>11760835It's because of that slutty shellder.
>>11760653Moncolles then. If you're lucky to find a local store that sells any for good price, he'll definitely love those
Smyths NL has Pinsir in.
This feels like the place to ask, I’m collecting all of the official merch of Rolycoly, my favorite mon. I think I have everything (aside from one Mezastar tag that’s still shipping), but would anyone know of any toys or figures I may have missed?
>>11762362Looks like you have all the stuff listed on mfc. You could grab all of his trading cards, there's not that many and they're cheap.
>>11762377I have all of its cards in the binder in the back actually, I’m way ahead of ya. But thanks!
Got blokees psyduck on Ali for 99 cents
