When the fuck are we gonna get a Super Mario Sunshine figure? It's easily the best game (fun puzzles, interesting mechanics, that comfy as fuck beach vibe with gorgeous early 00s water graphics, only Odyssey comes close). We can get a bajillion releases of vanilla Mario and various versions where he just has a new hat, but not one Shortsleeve with FLUDD?
>>11835626And not to mention the awesome full outfit with the Hawaiian shirt and sunglasses (that actually darken the screen when you wear them).Also forget about bikini Peach.
After a Luigi's Mansion LuigiSeriously tho, what the fuck is Jakks doing
>>11835630This too, and it would take even less effort. Literally just make the Poltergust as an accessory and it's done!
>>11835626I bo know. anyway here's Drill Mario and they stopped previewing waves on the back previously
>>11835626I’ve seen good customs
>>11835642
>>11835642>>11835643This is a really good custom, it also highlights how little in the way of new parts the figure would actually need, new torso for the belt (though that could be part of the FLUDD accessory so not absolutely needed), and new upper arms just to put the short sleeves on, and of course the FLUDD itself. I mean really with how many straight repaints and re-releases they do, there is no way they can't afford to do one.
>>11835626>MarioJust random characters again, no mario wonder or mario rpg ties in>SonicThe stupid dc collab before anything else from frontiers or sonic x shadow>ZeldaAwful figmas, domestic jakks line is dead>PokemonFuckswares >MetroidNot even a new figma for mp4>MegamanIn 3 years we have a main characters roster of: Megaman...green megaman, light blue megaman...megaman without helmet
>>11835645we got a shadow gens figure way before DC collab
Jakks needs to bring back the roomier cardboard box packaging so that we can get the last two remaining biggest Koopalings, Lemmy with his ball included, and a Chargin' motherfuckin' Chuck.
Mario Sunshine is and was fucking terrible.
Nintendo is actively fucking Mario. They high jacked the second movie just to promote a remake of a remake.
>>11835626>It's easily the best gamelmaoWelcome, visitor from planet Bizarro, where Sunshine isn't objectively the worst mainline Mario game>>11835939Hijacked it from what? Super Mario World? Sunshine is a literal filler beach episode, it'd warrant a direct-to-netflix holiday special at best.
>>11835643It's probably irrational but I can't stand that 3d printed banding look
>>11835626About 24 years ago
I think the reason we haven't got one is mostly nintendo thing, the first release of Bowser Jr was supposed to be based on his appearance in sunshine with the shadow mario bandana, but nintendo made them change it as it wasn't recent enough.
>>11835645>>11835658We also got a Soap Shoes Sonic, last year.
>>11836017>Hijacked it from what?Star Fox
>>11835939>Nintendies who are mad the Mario movies aren't literal 1:1 retellings of in-game eventsWatching audience autism outpace hollywood's ability to pander over the past decade or two has been quite amusing.
>>11835645Honestly they should really cut down on the Mega Men and X's, they're glutting up the whole damn toy budget.They should do a better designed line, like Mega Man Zero or ZX. Kraft and his muscular mechanical bod lends itself to a well-engineered figure, and finally, we won't be inundated with recolored X's.
>>11836348>>11835658Okay but what about something for non zoomers
>>11835626>It's easily the best gameExcuse me? Even if we're just counting the 3D games... Excuse me?
>>11839155Galaxy were the best...before Odyssey anyway
>>11839155not op. it is absolutely the best. close with 64.
The best moment was the port for the switch but nobody cared that much and toy companies don't really make much snynergy with current games. Mario 3d world and Odyssey were the last time they tried and from now on all of the tie-ins are gonna be movie only probably
>>11839793When was the last time you played it? It's a buggy, unpolished, unfinished game with bad hit detection. Good atmosphere though.
>>11839155It's just standard cubebabby babble. They think the Gamecube installation of every game was "peak." Double Dash, Wind Waker, SMS, TTYD
>>11839155>>11839793>>11839806how is gameplay relevant to toys?
>>11839735Galaxy is definitely solid, but the camera sucks so much ass, also the shifting gravity often causes control issues where Mario will either run in the wrong direction or get caught running in circles. It's not game breaking and I definitely enjoy the games (I just bought the Galaxy 1 and 2 double pack for Switch even though I already had the first one from the All Stars set), but Sunshine is just so much more focused, Odyssey is also an amazing game, but a lot of the impressiveness just comes from the size and graphics, as a game it's not actually more enjoyable than Sunshine.
>>11839814They think the Gamecube installation of every game was "peak."OP here and no, Sunshine is pretty much the only game I think beats out all the others in terms of franchise. Mario Kart 64 is way better than Double Dash (DD fucking sucks ass), Majora's Mask is my favourite Zelda game (I own Wind Waker and I just can't get into it. I've never played Paper Mario so I have no opinion on that.
>>11836081It's not irrational, the layer lines are genuinely fucking ugly, and it really wouldn't take much effort to clean them up.
>>11839823Would you want an action figure based on a thing most people thought was bad?
>>11839928If that thing is something I find cool regardless of the alleged poor quality said thing is from then yes. You can dislike the Illumination movies but still find some their figures better than WoN or SHF (movie Yoshi and Bowser are kino fyi).Hate Sunshine all you want but the tropical aesthetic is charming whether you grew up with it or not and so a tropical Mario variant would be a welcomed addition to the WoN line.
>>11839928people buy the freaddy freaker plush because oneyplays likes it despite coming from a dumb commercialpeople buy bootlegs from aliexpress or temu despite everyone saying its bad not to support official release or literal slave labor in chinatheres a lot of bad in the world that people still use or enjoy
>>11839928do people on /v/ really talk about video games they hate?do people on /tv/ really talk about movies they hate?do people on /a/ really talk about anime they hate?
>>11839970>movie Yoshi and Bowser are kino fyiI don't have the Yoshi, but I got the Bowser from the first movie and that fire breath gimmick kicks ass.
>>11839928>Would you want an action figure based on a thing most people thought was bad?If I thought the action figure would be cool and fun to play with? Yes. Are you retarded?>>11839970>You can dislike the Illumination movies but still find some their figures better than WoN or SHFTheir costumes from the beginning of Galaxy with the ponchos, goggles, dirtbikes, and fire flowers tucked into their belts was fucking kino. I'd love a high-end 1/12 version of these designs with posable wired cloth.Although, I also DID think Mario Galaxy was a pretty rad movie because it was nothing but Mario characters looking cool and doing Jackie Chan-tier kung-fu antics with each other while flying through space for 90 minutes. Guess I'm easy to please.
>>11839890>(DD fucking sucks ass)You better explain yourself quick. I fucking love DD.Can't comment on Sunshine as the copy I got doesn't work and I haven't been bothered to get a working one. I'll be real though, I did not care for Super Mario 64 at all. It's an overrated mess and I think it's telling that basically none of the platformers from the time copied its control formula. Especially when you look at Rareware's N64 output and how almost every single successful 3D platformer thereafter copied those.
>>11835626Hopefully never.>It's easily the best gamekek
>>11840581>You better explain yourself quick. I fucking love DD.And you can love it, I'm not gonna try and take that away from anyone. I just hate the two-character gimmick, I don't feel like the controls are as tight, the whole just doesn't work for me. I think the inclusion of gimmicks in the Mario Kart games has been largely a detriment. I really hate the customisable kart aspect of the modern games because it becomes more about having the right set-up and playing "correctly" as opposed to your skill as a driver. But that's also very much a constant under-current of Nintendo games, the "you will play the game how we WANT you to play.">Can't comment on Sunshine as the copy I got doesn't workIf you have a Switch I'd say just grab the All Stars pack, it's worth it just for the ease, and also Sunshine's aesthetic is gorgeous with the sharper graphics.Mario 64 does suck, it's great for the time, it was an achievement in its day and I respect it for that, but it has definitely aged the worst out of the 3D games.
>>11840275>fire breath gimmick kicks ass.Until it turns into a moldy piece of shit.
>>11839890>Mario Kart 64 is way better than Double Dash (DD fucking sucks ass)How DARE you.
>>11840632>having the right set-up and playing "correctly"Tell me you have autism without telling me you have autism.
>>11840632>"you will play the game how we WANT you to play.">gives you many options
The red headed step child of the Mario franchise? Seriously? Bro, people like Super Mario Bros. 2 better than Sunshine.
>>11840275>>11842045Not sure how the upcoming Galaxy movie Bowser is going to make the first one look.I hope the original is not made obsolete because I don't want to replace it and I don't want two huge Bowsers taking up room at home as on one hand, more articulation is always nice but it still doesn't seem worth it if you have the first one. I know there's some differences in the design but I can't quite put my finger on all the changes but what I do notice is that his eyes are bigger, making him look less menacing. Not sure if the lack of a battery compartment under his shell is going to make him look slightly less hunched too.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6PGrQjLwWOA
>>11842069>I hope the original is not made obsolete because I don't want to replace itYou don't NEED to replace, you know that, right?
>>11842072I wasn't going to replace it even if the new one is an improvement as the OG was a thoughtful gift so it's special to me. That being said, I'm not going to pretend to not be slightly disappointed if the new one's articulation offers cool poses the original can't do.
>>11842045>Until it turns into a moldy piece of shit.That won't happen unless you leave the water in the toy all the time. Just run it until it goes dry.
>>11840519>guess i'm easy to pleaseyeah dude
>>11842480Wouldn't there still be SOME water though? It's a small space.
>>11840519>I also DID think Mario Galaxy was a pretty rad movieThere's very little wrong with it. It's genuinely a better movie than the first attempt, but it just wasn't what most fans wanted or expected (i.e. no emotional tourism or realistic panic attacks)
>buy Mario Sunshine figure>play with it like normal>it clips through my hand>falls through the table>breaks>clown horns start blaring in my house
>>11842878Nah, the gimmick works by vibrating a plate fast enough to vaporise the water, eventually there would just be a little bead (like really fucking tiny), but eventually that will evaporate too. Toys really only go mouldy if there enough moisture that is kept inside them and the environment is also warm enough to propagate the spores. That's why you can was toys in the sink and then they're find if you shake the shit out of them, and then leave a gap somewhere.
What do you guys think of the inconsistency in the movie Yoshi figure. Which one do you prefer? Will the "incorrect" one (left) affect the price for better or worse on the second hand market?
>>11839155This guy was raped too hard by goopy inferno or the lilypad secret level and it shows
>>11835644Plus the Mario maker figure has a similar belt
>>11839928Why would care what other people think, I want figures based on things even I think are bad.
>>11842961TOO BAD!
>>11843472Or he just saw the blue coin bullshit, correctly assessed the game as a badly designed expansion pack to 64, and dipped.
Sunshine is not a bad game by any other dev's standards. It doesn't have the usual Nintendo polish their games had back in the day. It was totatally rushed to get a Mario game on the console and it shows. The worst part is a lot of the bad levels could have been great with just a little more time and effort spent towards really simple stuff like hit detection and more play testing.
Are people flipping out on Sunshine because it's actually a challanging Mario game?
>>11844642It's challanging due to poor mechanics, not any sense of fairness.
>>11844645Right, like the Lily Pad thing, the tedious part about that is when you die, it doesn't just spit you out at the the start of that level, it forces you to do the whole tedious thing to get to that tedious level. Corona Mountain does it again with the boat and the blue coins. These are basic things that could have been adjusted with more play testing. It's just bad game design.
>>11844491You could at least get 3 other levels with how much blue coins there were. What a waste.
>>11835645Pretty sure that Prime 4 didn’t get the numbers that would warrant figures, but that doesn’t stop me from wanting a Vi-O-La Samus and Sylux similar to Dread Power Suit and EMMI.
>>11844647>when I fail at something in a game, there are consequences>this is somehow bad game designSkill issue. I did that lily pad shit when I was 11 years old. Mario Sunshine was just one of the last times Nintendo actually expected players to develop a skill and then git gud at it, as opposed to constantly trying to distract you with new gimmicks and then tossing them away before you realize how shallow and/or boring they are.>>11844641My biggest complaint about sunshine was the shit swimming controls. Mario 64's were almost perfect, but they threw it all out to do whatever the fuck they did in Sunshine, where A swims up, but B swims down? Wtf is that?
I guess this is the thread for it, so Jakks showed off some new Donkey Kong sets.https://toynewsi.com/137-64917
>>11846315>Mario Sunshine was just one of the last times Nintendo actually expected players to develop a skill and then git gud at itThe problem is that you're not developing a skill, but instead you're trying to circunvent bad design. The game is a walk in the park most of the time until you reach one of the extremely badly designed things, that being the pachinko and the lilypad. And they're not an skill issue, they just have terrible physics, and doesn't help that Sunshine has one of the most broken hit detections in any Nintendo game ever, and the controls are slippery as shit. The retro stages without FLUDD are only a challenge sometimes due to how bad the controls are and how terrible the interaction between the character and the environment is. I managed to get all of those Shines back in the day nonetheless, but it's probably the most buggy and easily breakable Mario game ever.
>>11850851I'd be way more on board with these if they were using the SNES design for DK rather than the updated retro design. That said I'm still really tempted by that fucking Ramby.
>>11853271To be fair, I don't think they had any choice because Nintendo likely mandated them to use the nu-DK design while leaving the rest open to whatever they wanted to do, which is why the rest of the sets are old DK accurate. I fucking hate how much of a retard the new DK looks right now
>>11853780>Nintendo likely mandated them to use the nu-DK designNew Nintendo's upper management are really retarded with how they insist on making all merchandise only ever the latest thing. It has never been easier to get LoZ merchandise, but none of it is worth getting because it's all based on the last two fucking games and they made Link fucking blue! I hope Hasbro does figures based on OOT and Majora's Mask but so help me if they base it on the upcoming remake and Nintendo changes Link's design, I'm gonna lose it. 37 years Link was in green and they come up with the blue design because it "stood out better against the backgrounds they were making" because yes, the smart decision is to change the familiar design of the main character instead of fixing the fucking background.
