>>11868097Awesome stuff!
Range Viper arrived today, and damn do the Hiya Joes just keep getting higher quality
>>11868412He comes with a good amount of accessories
>>11868415The grenade launcher's cylinder actually moves which is kinda impressive for this size.
>>11868418I do wish he had a boot swivel though so that it would be easier to put him in a nice knee resting pose.
>>11868415Score, great set
>>11868422After being initially let down by Baroness, the Hiya Joe line has legit become one of my favorite 1/18 lines. Which makes the fact that their Walking Dead line is so inferior very frustrating. The Joes arw basically the same price, but have better articulation and more accessories. Daryl and Negan dont even come with swappable hands to better hold their guns and crossbow.
>>11867784fwiw I ended up ordering the Acid Rain figure I thought looked cool in the last thread, should be on it's way now
>>11869194I should give them a try again. I was really happy with their Robocop and Dredd lines, but the Aliens/Predators were shockingly bad engineering, especially leg and ankle articulation.
with a new joe movie announced... will we see more 1:18 joes or is everything gonna be 1:12 gayness?For the Snake Eyes solo movie all toys were 1:12 IIRC.
My Nanmu Allosaurus arrived. It's Nanmu's first and seemingly only 1/18 scale figure since it's the smallest Allosaurus species. Kinda crazy that Allosaurus europaeus and Allosaurus fragilis are the same genus, but one is the size of an elephant and the other is the size of a horse.
>>11870362
>>11869458I never collected their Predator or Alien figures, but I would totally recommend giving their newer Joes a try. Range Viper and Baroness barely feel like they are part of the same line given how much better Range Viper is.
>>11870362One simply ate his Wheaties.
>>11870362Even with his armor and spear, the allosaurus looks like it could make a snack of him
>>11870606They look like the guys you hire for a pre-historic safari.
>>11870362>>11870365Would the Hammond Collection Allosaurus be a good enough stand-in for Saurophaganax/Allosaurus anax to complete the articulated quadrilogy?
>>11870708Truth nuke>>11870828Probably, A europaeus was still weighed as much as a clydesdale. I wouldnt want to fight one without a gun.>>11870977Unfortunately the the Hammond Collection allo just isnt big enough to slot in well as Saurophaganax/Allosaurus Anax. Sauro was like 3 to 4 meters longer than Fragilis and upwards of 2 tons more massive than it.
>>11871128That's my boy right there. God I love him. so cute.
>>11870853 May I recommend David Drake. https://www.goodreads.com/en/book/show/18775054-dinosaurs-a-dirigibleI will add as a disclaimer that time travel research is (in the book) a tightly guarded secret of the government of Israel who are attempting to "fine tune" arrivals in the past for their own specific interests.
Goddamn, the Acro looks so good. I can't wait for it and my Dryptosaurus armor.
did anybody pre-order the Blokees 1/18 Spider-Man kits? Hulk seems a little small for 1/18 scale, but in general they look pretty good.
>>11874345Not if I have to buy the whole wave.
>>11874345>Hulk seems a little small for 1/18 scale,And/or Spider-Man seems a little big
>>11875156It's only $70 for the lot of them, but I get it.>>11875230You were right; Hulk is actually fine, Tom Holland is only 5'7, so Spider-Man should be 9.45 cm
Hasuki: Tactical Military Anime Girl 1:18 scale factory production prototype. Looks similar to a PGV but cheaper. Speaking of PGV, LTCave has a shit ton in stock including males
>>11876145oh shit, 1/18 tactical anime girls is awesome. I just started collecting their 1:12 GFL figures,
>>11876145I've got an MH-6 she can ride around in, lol.
Finally got a message from BBTS that a couple of the Hiya Walking Dead figures I ordered almost 2 years ago are finally arriving
>>11868097Kino
>>11870362God the Nanmu dinosaurs always look so good
Got this guy in the mail. He's great, though I feel duped by the promo pics because they made it look like the cape had a wire in it when it doesn't. Only real complaint is it doesn't have an ankle rocker, though I doubt many do at 1:18.
>>11878381who did you order through? I'm still waiting on mine from Big Bad
>>11878387Aliexpress. I'm not in the US so it just works out better for shipping.
>>11870362I know it's for copyright reasons but there's funny about Nanmu's other dino stuff having such names as SOVEREIGN OF THE OATH, SHADOW BLADE, WAR GOD etc.But for Broken Jaw here, the best they could do was "Crooked Mouth Guy".
>>11878381Ankle rockers aren't terribly rare in the scale and every single ARW release has had rocker ankles. Are you sure you don't just need to heat it up?
>>11878381>>11878384>>11878385>>Only real complaint is it doesn't have an ankle rocker, though I doubt many do at 1:18.Dude...
>>11878782Yes?
>>11878381Literally just about every TVC figure has rocker ankles at this point. Hell Hasbro was doing them on Joes way back in like 2011.
>>11878798I didn't mean to sound ignorant, I meant that the 1:18 figures I normally see are simple ReAction style ones and so didn't expect as much articulation as larger figures. I don't own many.>>11878488Huh that made me go back and look at the promo pics and it definitely should. Thank you, I'll give it a go later.
>they keep trying but i keep flying
Glad I learned I was messing up. Guess I just need to add a cape wire now.
>>11878941>11878941looks to me like they suc(k)ceeded
Finally unpacked this little guy. I really don't know how I feel about him on one hand the articulation is insane considering how small he is and he looks great. On the other hand the shield feels like badly engineered and he struggles holding it a nice looking way, the lack of a a tiltable wrist joint makes the spear the worst possible weapon for him and his shoulder armor constantly comes loose which is annoying but I guess it gives him more moveability and the option to remove it so it's ok. Should have waited for the Murmillo restock/10
>>11879212The joytoy wrists should be able to tilt both ways depending on which way you have it orientated, as it's a sperate joint that plugs into the fore-arm and the hand plugs on the other end. with the middle of it being a joint.
>>11879502
>>11879503
>>11879504
>>11879507
>>11878941Bro I want an SU27Any way to order it where it doesn't cost an arm and leg?
I showed off their 1/18 Starship Troopers bug. I hope this means we're getting human characters from the movie as well. I've love to army build with them. https://x.com/HiyaToys/status/2090682320554455263
>>11880566>$65I don't think i can army build that. Just to get 4, that'd be $260 before tax
>>11880566beautiful, but pricy
>>11880635>Just to get 4they should offer 10 for $500
One last pic, just to say this was my first time wiring up a cape and it worked fine with the right glue.>>11879503Such great faces.
>>11880566>>11880635>>11880639Go for it. I paid over $100 for this 90's one on eBay a few years ago because I saw Empire Toy Works post one fighting ARW guys and that shit looked fun. It is.
>>11880566It's realy funny to me that people are seething about it not being 1/12 scale.
>>11882210you made me use twitter and I'm upset that there were no people seething in the replies
>>11882425I can seethe for you if you like.REEEEE make him bigger!!
>>11880656 I kind of hate the fact that there aren't a lot of reasonably priced "bad guys" like this. And also that they don't have "real" joints. These guys ( I *had* 3) are more durable but less articulated and more expensive.
>>11884124
>>11878941Hell yeah
I know the old prospector from Chicken Fried toys comes with a pick-axe - but where else can I get one at this scale?
>>11887565Bruder 62008 has one, and ARAH Alpine's can pass as a normal pickaxe. There was one in the old Indiana Jones map room play set, and there's at least one repro of that on eBay. There's a regular pickaxe in the Jazwares 4" Fortnite line, but I couldn't say which particular figure/playset it came with.
New Hiya Joe arrived today, solid figure
>>11887614 Thanks. I picked up some random "farm stuff" and a pick on Ali. I think the pick might be a bit -LEGO-y but might do in a pinch
I swear I had posted this.. But does any third party make Torches along the same lines as the ones from Indian a Jones. You can occasionally get a random lot with them but otherwise not really. The only other torches out there seem to be from boss fight. And they look less "organic"
>>11888235 I stand corrected. it's actually cheaper to buy a carded figure.and throw everything but the torch away - than buying the torch.
>>11888206why'd they start giving him gray hair?
>>11888206That HC Brachiosaurus reminded me: Wasn't there some anon making a 1/12 elephant using it as a base? or did i see that in another site?
>>11888305There is a red haired young version as well, I just didnt grab that one because it's release overlapped with the release of a bunch of other figures I wanted.>>11888523I remember that as well!
>>11888531I think his accessories are kinda underwhelming conpared to the accessories for Range Viper >>11868415
>>11888534
>>11888536
