Official /RAPT/ General - Big laughs edition.Welcome to the RAPT general.This general is mainly for these franchises. You can talk about modern lines (except for NECA), but the main focus is on the older vintage stuff from Kenner, Toy Island, etc.Discussion of the films and other media is also welcome.Discussion of other similar films and toylines like Rambo, Last Action Hero, Congo, Demolition Man, even Waterworld, is cool. Especially if it pertains to part swapping, customs, or features for wishful toylines you'd like to see.NECA posting is off-topic, and should be ignored, but because NECAnon is a loser troll he'll keep posting anyway. But at least it keeps the thread bumped so post as much as you want asshole.Previous General.>>11818423
>>11821858Oops, posted this in the last thread after you made this one. In other Alien news, I bought the Figlite Facehugger which is now in my private warehouse, and now that it's come back into stock, I'm thinking of getting the xeno egg to complete the set. It feels crazy spending that much on wind up toys when those things were the cheapest thing as a kid, but I don't care. Facehugger goes brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.
>>11821864>>11821872>It feels crazy spending that much on wind up toys when those things were the cheapest thing as a kid, but I don't care. Facehugger goes brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.Honestly, so long as the plastic isn't the kind that turns into insanely sharp daggers when it breaks like the cheap pullback cars you get from 2 Dollar shops it will be fine.
>>11821874Also you might as well get the egg if you can swing the cash. Better to get it now and even if you feel kinda meh toward it, it's better than kicking yourself and eventually caving into secondary market prices or regret never getting it at all.
>>11821877Yeah, it temporarily sold out at HLJ, and I panicked, then came to terms with not owning it. But now it's back in stock, so I just pulled the trigger on it.
>>11821879>”Bawitdabaw” plays loudly
>>11822502
>>11822500This looks so good, but I really wish Hot Toys would just stop with the seamless silicone parts.
>>11822527Yeah it's one of the first 1/6 scale things that'd made me consider parting with money. But yeah the idea of it wearing over time is a boner kill.
This marks the second import line I've seen selling fauxminators
>>11823609I'm confused by the legs, are they supposed to be digitigrade or plantigrade?
>>11823622>are they supposed to be digitigrade or plantigrade?
>>11823792One of each.
>>11821858Robocop is my favorite movie of all time but i own way more toys of predators and terminators and xenomorphs then of murphy and frens.
>>11823779Plantigrade. I suppose the cylinder behind the knee is meant to resemble a calf muscle? Seems like the designers were trying to go for a revoltech approach. They come with interchangeable arms too. The japanese put out a similar kit late last year but they're now out of stock. If I was a business suit I'd import these stateside as part of a Terminator line ASAP.
>>11823992>but i own way more toys of predators and terminators and xenomorphs then of murphy and frens.Probably because there is sweet FA in the way of RoboCop toys. Sure we've gotten a few from collector lines over the years, but usually it's just Robo himself.
Man I wish there was better options for these franchises. Neca's fuckhuge scale and poor articulation always turn me off.Imagine an InArt/LPZZ predator.
>>11824774>Imagine an InArt/LPZZ predator.Honestly I wouldn't be surprised if InArt takes a crack soon. They seem to be getting bigger. Plus Disney owns Alien and Predator, so they'll definitely be wanting to push for more licensing revenue. When they start going Skydance will probably push Terminator more, and Amazon will push RoboCop.Also I'm still waiting to see Blokees try for at least one of the licenses.
>>11824774I don't mind the fuck huge scale for the Alien and Pred, since both were played by fuck huge dudes in the 7' range. Bolaji Badejo was 6'10" and Kevin Peter Hall was 7'2". But I would kill for an InArt series of xenos.
>>11824797I'm surprised Blokees hasnt jumped at any of the RAPT licenses. Terminator and Robocop seem especially perfect for them. Their ultraman kaijus leave me with the impression they could do well with more detailed momster designs too but they just havent barked up that tree yet.
Has NECA revived the Pred license aside from the Badlands shilling?
>>11825084Not really, it's been backburnered as much as the other RAPT licenses.
>>11825084>newest movie is out and well received >mad that there's merch focus on it and that's somehow "shilling"Peak retard
>>11825057oh a blokees robocop would be so fun
>>11825057Blokees Aliens would be awesome too.
>>11825225There's a moderoid kit on the market atm, and it looks great, but the price tag is heavy. Ideally it'd be nice to get a swell Robocop for under 30 bucks, and blokees could easily knock that out of the park. Same with Terminator, and you'd think with how much china loved T3, Salvation, and Genisys it'd happen but no luck. We did see that unlicensed T3 Arnie from them atleast. >>11825240If it happens I'd want them in every scale/class. Just go hog wild with it. Galaxy defender, champions, action, shining. I'd pay through the nose. Those Marvel and SW kits proved to me they have the golden touch.
So neca's making fortnite versions of their various horror licenses along with the tmnt. Maybe we'll soon see terminator, robocop, and predator?
>>11832774I hope not. Only faggots like Fortnite.
>>11832774Even if they did I would really be interested in them. Really the appeal of having those characters in Fortnite is having all these various characters together and filtered through the same art style. Really if there are going to be figures of the Fortnite versions of RAPT then I'd rather see, Jada, Mattel, or Hasbro do them, because then you can stick them in a 6 inch scale and blend them in with your other properties. Have Predator mixed in with your G.I. Joe, Alien with Street Fighter, RoboCop with MOTU, Terminator with Marvel. That kinda shit.
>>11832922I guess neca is for faggots then
>>11833015Yeah I know exactly what you mean. Such a shame the jazwares and hasbro lines ended when it did. You have to imagine what we missed out on. Closest we have now is that disney infinity toyline.
>>11836611Projection much?
>>11836611You sound like a dick.
52Toys has their engineer for preorder
>>11841766They did a good job of bringing more of the Giger look to the suit, but I still loathe the introduction of the Engineers.
