Hi all, thanks for participating in the 4 horse man edition thread. This time around lets do a FFXI party style, one tanks, one healer, one support and 3 damage dealers. Hard mode, dont use characters from the same IP. Bonus points dont use toys from the same brand. My team: Ninja Tank: Ayane. Bard: Raph, Healer: Orko, Dark Knight: finger print armored dude Vyke, Monk: Ken, and Ranger: Elenor.Memorable Mentions:Alf riding Alf, that was not something I expected. Two raptors on a motorcycle. Mythic legions mount shelf. Duckula, I really like the lighting, the set up, the bookshelf. Keep it up man. Dino dude, thanks for all the help and reviews, not to just me but overall. I think we all learning about Dinos.Nightcrawler, make me some other wallpapers brother. Gif making dude, need to find you a nickname. Love your gifs. Turles anon, I enjoy seeing Doppo in action. Joytoy April annon, cool pics bud. Ah and last but not least wolverine and deapool annon, great poses as Chester said. Thanks all for posting, lets keep wasting some pictures!Last thread: >>11807616
>>11838693Phantasy Star Online was the shit. I still have the pink Chogokin Eleanor. I wish they made more.
>>11838702Yes sir. I love that game.
>>11838710Now that's a great looking figure. Cute cat too I just ordered a little accessory cat to have around
PARTY LORE:>CenturionTeam Support and the main character. Was once a warrior in the gladiator pits until she formed a bond with one of the beasts she was meant to do battle against. Discovered soon after a natural affiliation for beasts, and became a Druid. Uses a combination of average damage with spear attacks, nature spells to buff her party members, and numerous beast summons in combat. The all-rounder of the party. The smilodon is the canon companion beast. >Shinomiya DPS 1 and first default recruit. Was also in the gladiator pits. Honestly just loves fighting monsters and the praise that it brings to her. When the quest came to save the world, she jumped at the opportunity to join the party. Is fully convinced she's the team leader. She's the team's glass canon. High speed, high damage, breaks of an enemy successfully breathes on her. >JorgeParty Tank. Found in a side-quest where a strange metal mass that was crawling with monsters seemed to simply fall out of the sky. Jorge is found badly injured after exploring the dungeon for some time. Keeps talking a bunch of nonsense about how the monsters are actually from space, but he's useful to have around. Apparently he's used to being in a six-man team, so he adjusted quickly. His armor makes him nearly indestructible, even if one manages to break through the strange "arcane shield" that covers it. >KrillinTeam Healer. He carries the beans. That's it. >ArmarougeDPS 2, was captured as a Charcadet when the local gladiator pits sent the party on a quest to catch some monsters for the gladiators to fight, but showed an intelligence that surpassed most monsters. Centurion put a little suit of armor on him because she thought it was cute, and he evolved. An absolute master of "fire spells" and ranged magic attacks. >SupermanDPS 3. The extremely overpowered recruit that you get through a really complex side quest that objectively breaks the game.
>>11838804>woman>Discovered soon after a natural affiliation for beastsOh nononono
>>11838816WaitNoWaitNoWAITNO
>>11838693i haven't been able to take shots recently because of work, so take this old shot instead
>>11838693where is that greatsword that vyke is holding from? is that the gillgill one?
>>11838819Ah gotcha. >>118388433d printed by a friend and then painted by me. >>11838804Read the whole thing, haha that Krillin description. XD>>11838759Weird but comfy. Is that a hulk head on professor X?
>>11838886>A hulk head on professor XYeppers. I am taking the Savage Land Xavier's and kitting them as if they were GI Joe's. I'm going to take some of the more vanilla Joe's and keep them as a military team without being obviously or clearly "Joe's" or even troops from a country on this planet.Eventually, I'm picturing a very C-List alien invasion (except all off-planet from Earth) roadhouse grindhouse concept with a lot fodder being used that doesn't seemingly belong, like the Mr. Fantastic head on the One Piece body).
>>11838693I just got a healer in the mail so this is a chance to take a photo of her>DPS: Dark Source Mech>Support: Roman Signifier (with troop rallying signum for buffs)>Black mage: Zombo>Healer: Frontline Chaos Nurse>Tank: Gothic Knight>Glass cannon: Creature
>>11838804>Is fully convinced she's the team leader.I believe it with that expression.>>11838819Nice
>>11838693>Ninja Tank: Ayane.huh? what game do this?
I really like this head. >>11839443FFXI did at least when I played it. Ninja/Warrior tanked with shadows. >>11839430Good to See Zombo, also i like the mood of this picture.
>>11839458excellent, he kind of looks like he's putting up with whatever situation is occuring
what's the cheapest and easiest way to light my shoots? I have one ceiling lamp in my toy room, should I get a certain light bulb for it or some sort of transportable lamp? My desk lap doesn't really do any good either.
>>11839771if you want cheap, easy and portable, look up clip on ring lights on amazon. also look up magnetic rgb camera light on amazon. to get this shot, i used the rgb camera light on one end and one of the ring lights on the other, in addition to the surrounding lighting
>>11838693>one tankMr Blobby>one healerSnoopy with maracas>one supportGonk with tennis racket and ball>and 3 damage dealersMr Strong, Snap from Rice Krispies, and a Dalek
>>11840493It's a shame Who didn't take off on Disney, or at least not enough for them to want to keep it around. I don't want to get into a conversation about the show and the characters certainly don't interest me as toys, unless they had been 6" or 7" so you could use some as civilian suited males or, in a case of a very few of the companions, as casually dressed civilians for crowd scenes, to be mugged and rescued, or be the criminal to be beaten up, etc. But just for the randomness, I would like a Dalek, a tall Cyberman (so definitely 7") and if they were cheap, I'd take 4 or so to army build for my alien wars, and definitely the phone booth, for the iconic quality. But a phone booth would be so easy to fake up with crap like foam core.
Looking for some opinions to sway my attention one way or another so I can get over choice paralysis. Paycheck coming through tomorrow and with holiday pay on top of normal pay, but I'm probably only going to have enough to spare on ONE of these things that I've been eying recently. >Cyberzoic Carnotaurus To feed my Dino autist and expand my CB Dinosaur collection, I imagine this thing is going to sell out pretty quick and they don't do reissues and after-market CB figures are rare (130 bucks)>Figma Inklings To diversify my collection with a new brand and some fun characters (150 bucks, I'm assuming overpriced but I honestly don't care)>One of those Joytoy 1/18th scale Mecha figuresSo I have a big-ass robot that is to scale with my dinos, and they come with a pilot so my centurion won't be my only 1/18 scale human anymore (anywhere from 70 to 100 bucks depending on which I get) >Multiple BEERISE model kitsSo I get several new figures at once that are relatively cheap but still neat (around 25 bucks each)>Babby's first 3rd party Dragon Ball Figure, Future GohanBecause Bandai sure as hell hasn't made one yet and I'm tired of waiting (about 80 bucks)
>>11840865>>11840867>>11840870hey buddy I think you got the wrong thread
>>11840493nothing's taking down mr blobby
>>11840891I mean it’s a thread about toys and I posted toys.
>>11840890I would check the reviews for any of those Joy Toy mechs if you get one. They make them in a range of sizes, but generally they're 1:25. It's possible they make a 1:18 version, but it's more likely just incorrectly listed.Also some of them are known to have shoddy legs, while others are excellent.I've never played Splatoon but the figman inklings look great.
>>11840905Did you just roll in from stupid town?
>>11841009>but it's more likely just incorrectly listed.After checking a few different sites with them, it seems the 3 I've been looking at are consistently listed as 1:18s. The BBTS listing even lists the height of both the mech and the pilot individually, and the pilots, at 4 inches, seem consistent with 1:18 as far as my limited experience goes.
>>11841040Ah interesting, yeah looking at BBTS they've got a height listing for the character that's 10cm so that's right for 1:18. But not entirely surprising since even the mech sizes are all over the place in that line.
>>11838693>post apocalypse final fantasy OK, but you have a weird way of saying FF X-2 and we abusing mods.The party is Grabitha Wrassllyn, Slamantha CurbStompinsom, Repeeta Poundings, Boxxeen Haymaker, Jabbylina Hookinpop and other rando murder hobos in whatever tacti-cool fashions give the best combat class bonuses. >need to find you a nickname.This annons nickname is annon, dr_sillymans.
Blitzball sucked, but put a team together anyway, just in case.
Bangin' music is a must.
Wasted
>>11841316>>11841318>>11841321Are you fucking retarded, or are you doing it on purpose?
>>11841260>Repeeta Poundingskek
>>11841383he's trolling, just ignore him.
Got this in today. Really impressed with it. >>11841260Dr_Sillymans sounds good to me. >>11840890Only one option when i saw that list, Cyberzoic Carnotaurus because you are the Dino guy.>>11840493Ha! I think snoopy should of been the Bard. >>11839475Thats exactly what he is doing.
>>11841482Nice pic.
>>11841721What venom is that?
>>11840890>>11841721Ended up going with the Inklings, Get the most expensive thing on my list out of the way first. Gonna be here on Sunday.Carno will probably be next. I think I'm just going to move down the line in terms of expense, only to later realize how impractical that is because at some point, that summer wave of new BotMs are going to come out and damn it, I want that Kentro, Cerato, and Acro. And then at some point that 2.0 Rex some time later this year, and the Nano. And then the Nanmu 2.5 raptors, and Nanmu's Dinosaur Revolution AlloToo many good dinos in rapid succession goddamn it I don't have the kind of spare money for this shit.
>>11838693>This time around lets do a FFXI party style, one tanks, one healer, one support and 3 damage dealers.>Hard mode, dont use characters from the same IP.Alright, I like the idea>Bonus points dont use toys from the same brand.I don't want those ugly bonus point anyway.Here's my incomplete RPG party, I'm going to finish it tomorrow or next wednesday with a better lighting, background, more characters and better poses, at least for Doppo>>11838804I like anon lore idea for each figure. Let's see:>Kiwi DPSParty leader, he got isekaid after Vegeta killed him. While exploring and gathering info he accidentally saved a village, there, they mistook him for a hero from old legends because of his weird look and armor. Mordred convinced him to form a party telling him about strong monsters, he's as overconfident as ever and people always think he has the best intention even as he keeps spouting cliched villain lines>Mordred DPSShe actually gather the rest of the party members and do most of the work of a party leader. She's a knight errant who's searching for a special sword in the dungeons to prove to her father that she's worthy of being heir>Unico Quetzalcoatl TankJust kidding it's Doppo Orochi. I was going to change the name of everyone except Kiwi but I couldn't think anything for Jack and Mordred. He's a martial artist monk, also a nudist. He respect Kiwi's strenght>Jack DPSCute assassin loliI couldn't think of anything, my creativity has run out
>>11841737Nice, looking forward to seeing pics
I think this checks all the boxes for the theme. Im counting LeoZilla as the Godzilla brand.>Merciless - Tank>Wingnut - Support>Blue Destiny - Dps>LeoZilla - Dps >TrapJaw - Dps>Lil Nugga - Healer
>I love the PowerGlove
>>11841482>>11841844not that deep in the Transformer fandom, so I don't know if this is a hot-take or not, but goddamnRiD is probably my favorite Optimus designFollowed closely by Armada
>>11841847Totally agree, there is just something about the design that just clicks. Apparently RiD was a continuation of Beast Wars, you can see a hint of Primal in there.
>>11841738>He respect Kiwi's strenghtI got that referenceAlso because of you I bought Kiwi last monthHes such a fun figure
>>11841908>I got that referenceHeh I still have to finish Jack game>>11841908>Also because of you I bought Kiwi last month. Hes such a fun figureI'm glad you like him anon, he's a really underrated figure. The other figure I got now is True Form Zarbon, I hope it's just as fun.
>>11841847might be a hot take for GEEWUNNERS but i also feel that RiD Optimus/Fire Convoy is the coolest he's ever been.>>11841883>>11841844man i wish this wasnt an online exclusive. I still have my original RiD optimus i got when i was a kid and this one looks super good.
how do you guys store your toys when not in play or on display?
>>11842284I bought a bunch of bubble wrapped mailer envelopes, I slip them in there and keep them in a box with the open end facing up. It mainly helps to stop them getting tangled, I just wanted something easy where I can spot the toy and pull them out.
>>11841998Yeah, it sucks it was a Haslab but I got really lucky, I traded some transformers and a waifu figure for them. Ended up with some extra money as well. On the plus side it came with 2 Optimus "cores" (one cracked but I use that one for Omega Prime) so I still have a full Fire Convoy to mess with.
>>11841734Seems to be MessToys Venom.
>>11842433>>11841734Yup Mess toys Not Venom or as they call it Lethal Neighbor. >>11841738Nice, waiting on the healer and support. >>11841842That healer xD. You guys are giving me some smiles with those healer picks.
>"Inking your splat zone alone on a Thursday night? God, you're pathetic"Guess what arrived like 3 days early for some reason? Also, that pose I have the pink one in. Getting that pose set up and then getting her to hold that pose. That was torture.
>>11842476Initial thoughts: I think SHF has spoiled me on some levels of articulation. The necks are super limited, it's hard to get the legs to do anything, and the shoulders, good lord they shouldn't feel that limiting but god they are. Also, at least when viewed from head-on, the joints don't feel super organic. They look great, design-wise, but still.
>>11842479Prime example of that limited articulation here. This was about as dynamic as I was able to get with the legs. Maybe it's just the soft-plastic skirt getting in the way, but I don't know. Maybe it's a skill issue and I'm just not used to figma engineering yet.
>>11842476The hats and headsculpts are great. Nice glossy squid hair.
>>11842483>Trade offer. I receive: Magical Healing Beans. You receive: An active grenadeThe articulated eyes are an interesting choice. I like it in theory, though, overall I think they would have done better to reevaluate the accessory budget and put it towards more varied faces. Kind of sucks that Pink is stuck with permanent shit-eating grin or big doofy smile as the only options. At least Orange's face is a bit more neutral and multi-purpose. Speaking of Orange, I feel like she gets the short end of the stick, accessory-wise. Like, could have gave her a bucket or a sniper or something, rather than just the basic splattershot. Hell, could have even made the grenade orange. That would have at least been something. So far, overall, I know I mostly cited negatives, but I like 'em. I think it's a flawed product in a few regards, but they're not bad. I think I'll warm up to them more once I get a better idea of how to handle them, their posing limitations, and so onAlso, goddamn, they come PACKAGED with accessory storage bags. 2 of them. Why is this not just a standard for figures with so many accessories. >>11842492Very interesting choice on how the hats connect. It's just a little thin plastic tab that slots in-between the hair and back of head part, while the part that goes into the hat is a wider strip that goes into a weird grippy... Shape. Thing. It's weird. I feel like they probably could have handled that better.
>>11842436>Nice, waiting on the healer and supportDone! I switched roles and Jack is a healer now, she has the skills after all.Alphonse is DPS and Jeanne D'Arc is support, no new lore drop because I'm beat
>>11842558
>>11842580The girls look skeptical of their raid leader
Ho ho ho finally got a moment to take pics
>>11838693That’s such a good idea! Here’s my last minute team, which I realize is in dire need of some long range damage dealers. >tankJakks Pacific Metroid to absorb and defend, and wall break some bigger foes>healerMy newest figure, and the holiest of them all: Snail Shell Angela. Bring her divine healing power while also providing some air coverage with some powerful white offensive magic>supportProviding some rhythmic buffs we got Mío in the back supporting her team mates as if they were part of Ho-Kago Tea Time .>damage dealers I just realized I have 4 instead of 3 Jada Barlog, ML Black Suit Spiderman, Figma Young Link and Figma A2Will probably update later to fit the rules and maybe sub one’em. I need a long range damage dealer.
Revo Hayabusa got the balance. >>11842730Ha! The first thing i noticed was the extra. But its all in good fun. Cool team, can you post another picture of Angela? >>11842721Nice set up. >>11842558That Doppos face xD he is like not sure how i ended up with this peeps but oh well. >>11842483Thats the Figma trade off at least in my experience, looks great in neutral poses, not so great for dynamic posing.
>>11842747
>>11842748And a last one, he is been like this for over 5 minutes now.
>>11842747So this is the power of proper ab range
>>11842756Yes indeed, he finally fell but it might of been because i slightly touched my table with my chair.
>>11840862You’re in luck. 52 toys are going to be making 1:12 doctor who figures including Dalek and Cyberman
>>11841537Repeeta & Jabbylina are dps'ers.Slamantha & Boxxeen are heavy tanks. Grabitha is a quick tank that holds agro. Brusette Welts is the party medic. She keeps everyone topped off with chain 9-lifening.
>>11843022>Unlimited Lifening Powah!
>>11841721>No, u!Try harder, botman. Nya-nya!
>>11843038>>¯\_( ᐛ )_/¯<<How done.

>>11843116It was a matter of time before some of the usual shitposters tried to ruin this thread
i found that newish goku at walmart, and man this goku's got the best faces i've seen. it's got the early saiyan saga look that i really love, over the rest of the sagas
>>11843122so cool. might experiment putting these heads on the new 3.0 body that came out recently, since the sroe body isn't exactly the best
>>11843122Thats really cool, whats this one called? >>11843022And they are fighting a giant feline. >>11842791This is good news, David Tenant is a must for me. >>11843116>>11843119Its no biggy guys. Keeps the thread alive and actually like Neca products.
>>11843139this one's tag is -the lowest born saiyan-might need to get a neck peg extender though, since the stock one for the cell games begins body is too short
>>11843122>NewishHuh? This goku was released a long time ago
>>11843145was it? i know it's different from the sroe one. wasn't it just last year?
>>11843143Thanks ill keep an eye out for it. Sometimes walmart puts shfiguarts on sale. Thats how i got Daima Vegita and thats one of my favorite figures now.
>>11843139Healing celling cat restores.
>>11842747Do I ever!
>>11843022Cute moggy
>>11843213Kek this is probably what space marines are supposed to be scaled like compared to humans right
>>11843288What skeleton is that out of interest?
>>11843148Yeah, last year is a long time ago, that is on a 2.0 body, we're now moving to the 4.0
This guy is MASSIVE! The quality of the joints feels pretty good and he's heavy, looks much better in hand. I think this may be my favorite DBZ figuarts, nothing is loose or tight. His fucking box raped all my space
>>11843554He can rival Kiwi in the face deparment
>>11843554>>11843560How are his shoulder-armor bits engineered? The way that right one is slightly misaligned in the both pictures makes it look like he's using a Turles style connection
>>11843568>it look like he's using a Turles style connectionYou're correct
>>11843579Nice. Honestly Monster Zarbon was never a design that I liked, but it's nice that they're using that connection again. I hope eventually we get revamps of most of the saiyan armor characters using those connections. Partly because I want a reasonably priced Raditz and Nappa, and Saityan Saga Vegeta, but also because it's frustrating how limited and dangerously frail the other, single hinge-joint connection feels
>>11843588Raditz has unique shoulder pads, they're a double ball joint and it's not bad, they should use it for the pads on the waist. I do hope they redo Nappa at some point, I love mine but he would be great with Recoome articulation.Also they should make the shoulder pads like they did with 2nd form Frieza or the way Yamaguchi do.>he can hold smaller figures easilyOh men this is going to be fun
>>11843447Kaiyodo Takeyashiki Jizai Okimono Samurai Skeleton Action Figure. Beautiful but fidgety and challenging to balance pose without stand.
Ive been restoring skateboards lately i thought id show you guys what im currently working on, since i feel its toy related. >>11843333Snail shell is doing great. >>11843213Nice pose. >>11843554Very cool, massive.
>>11843795Cool, like you re-paint the underside of them?
>>11843833Well it depends on how beat up the board is, this one i had to repair the board cause of razor tail, paint it, re-grip it. Sometimes it preserve the graphic on the underside or i completely draw something different and paint over it.
>Modern solutions for ancient problems
>>11844209You should put a menacing red light in the doorway & less light in the front.
>>11844242yes but if I wouldn't use my flash, you wouldn't see anything at all.
>>11844250Get a simple adjustable led lamp from Walmart for basic lighting. Preferable a bendable one. I got one cheap that works great.
>>11843737>Beautiful but fidgety and challenging to balance pose without stand.Understatement, lol.
>>11842791Thanks for the heads up. Sadly, the prices on their US web store for what little it carries (mostly figurines and keychains) seem really over-priced. I suspect these will be NECA (speaking of the devil) priced or higher.

>>11844569>Hand posing with a stand.Devious!
>>11843872Nice>>11844569Those hands look fun. I think stands really suit figures where you imagine they'd be flying around by default. I got some knockoff figma cherubs a while ago like that.
>>11844501Well that was a very shitty story

Here comes the hero!
>>11847149Just testing his articulation
>>11847150
>>11847150That's great articulation for a big guy.
>>11847560
>>11847564
>>11847290They should have give him a leg drop or whatever you call that kind of articulation (the one that storm arena use) to make him able to raise his leg more, he should have been able to do an axe kick but I'm still pretty happy with him
>>11847560He does seem like the perfect bad guy to battle against, I always liked those lesser villain designs in the earlier dbz.Needs an ACK! face though. If I was making toy law I'd ban wasting money on including stands and make them include extra heads/faceplaces.
