I'm new to this board and new to collecting and I'm trying to decide a on a good place to start, was thinking about buying pic related, any tips for buying and general advice
>>6198111
Read the buying guide if you're interested in anime http://www.buyfags.moe/So_you_want_to_be_a_buyf/a/g%3F
Besides that, what are you interested in?
>>6198117
Star Wars, X-Men, Super Sentai, Star Wars

If you're after imports, shop Japanese retailers Amiami or HLJ. Use paypal to buy from them. Do your homework on a figure so you don't overpay. Starting out, you WILL overpay but try to keep it to a minimum. Lurk around here and find out what's good and what's not, what to look for in a figure and what to expect from a company. Set a budget and prioritize. Get a quality shelf or cabinet and set up an attractive display. /toy/ collectors are autistic and maladjusted so don't take it to heart if you post and someone spergs out over your comment. Open you goddamn toys, don't leave them imprisoned in boxes. Avoid Funko at all costs. Welcome to collecting.

Someone in the last thread asked for a clearer shot of Gyro's face, so I thought I'd upload some of the pictures I took today. Here's another.
>>6196716
And another of JotaroBIG.
I'm actually kinda hype about this series, but it really depends on what characters they release. I can see myself buying strictly my favorites, so hoping for like, a big Killer Queen.
It finally happened, lads
The Samurai Turtles wave looks great but I'm particularly impressed with Usagi in the Samurai armor. Playmates outdid themselves.
Curiously, Jei is missing. I could have sworn he was shown with Usagi at an earlier toy show.
>>6192425
I'm torn because I like Usagi, and this figure has more articulation than most TMNT figures, but I just really don't like how it looks. Mostly the length of the arms and the size of the head bug me. I feel like his arms are too long and his head is to small.
holy shit

Alright guys. I don't come here often because you guys always make me want to spend my money. Luckily I'll usually click around online to find that most of the nicer toys i'd like to have are easily out of my price range (or at least the range in which my wife would bitch at me). But this time I clicked a link half-hoping to be disappointed.

fuck
I actually don't give a shit about DS2 but this armor set is probably my favorite to look at in DS3 and that is by itself enough for me to buy it. Problem is that it appears to only be sold by GameStop. Fuck GameStop.
I'm looking for your assistance in one of two places;
Convince me that the price is too low and the quality is likely dubious. I don't know toy companies all that well. Is this one shit?
Or maybe the toy is available elsewhere.
Help me /toy/boys. You're my only hope.

It's a statue, a prize figure at that.
Should be worth like 2000 yen. Or if you're good and in Japan one UFO Catcher game play, don't know how much that is these days.
>>6188310
Not DS but next best thing perhaps. From Kaiyodo, sometime this year I hope.
I post this pic every so often in the hopes somebody here will know something.
All I know is that it's from France, and I had a Dragon as well that was destroyed by my dog about 10 years ago.
>>6187757
It's a "Les Slimblop" toy. Old french comic, that character in question is the "Fraarrrpinfante".

Anyone getting the Xenoverse figures coming out soon?
>>6187081
I'm buying the Trunks, I'm a sucker for his look in Xenoverse
With little to no hype for sentinel to announce more figures in the line during WonFest, do you think 4INCH-Nel is in danger of cancellation ? A few signs:
1. I've read many comments about ppl not wanting a figure in this scale, even if its their only chance of getting a character they won't get in another line.
2. I bought both Ryoma and Classic Megaman and liked both quite a bit, even if I prefer Ryoma by a small margin because it feels sturdier and has an interesting paintjob...
But then I've seen both figures on sale on Amiami & HLJ, so I'm pretty sure they weren't best sellers...Hayato from GR is being released as an exclusive (and too pricey because Benkei) so GR fans got fucked over with that, which doesn't create a good precedent.
3. X will be out of scale with Megaman and there's no prototype of Zero yet.
I hope I'm proven wrong and see more releases from them since Sentinel is consistently interested in smaller/older franchises and usually deliver good products.
And Bandai announced these.
>>6183240
Inafune is a hack and Capcom isn't as big as they were in the 90s

More like rip-off edition.
uuuggh I just wanted a good standard Shin Godzilla figure.
Bandai fucked it up.
NECA fucked it up.
DON'T respond to this post with company wars bullshit, both figures drop the ball horribly for their own reasons.
I'm so bummed out.
This new "Awakening" version looks decent, but they're promo pics so they cant be trusted. Even if it is good, I still wanted a standard shin.
So I bit the bullet and preordered the SHMA Shin Awakening version. Fingers crossed that it'll turn out decent. But whatever happens I'll post pics on here when it's released.
Any reviews yet? Getting mined shipped from HLJ.
>>6155139
They're shipping this week aren't they? I got an email from 1000toys a few days ago. Haven't got my confirmation yet.
>>6155139
>>6155899
Yeah, they should be going out sometime this week.
>Dear customers, this is 1000toys customer support.
>The 1/12 TOA Heavy Industries Synthetic Human is currently being ready for delivery, and will be shipped out sequentially between January 30th and February 4th.
I'm not expecting them to spring for ems, so I probably won't end up getting mine until mid-late feburary. I sort of wish I'd known hlj and amiami were getting them, I wouldn't have ordered directly from the company.
I just paid for mine from HLJ, but I'm not shipping this PW order for another 30 days so I can group some other preorders with it. The wait is painful, someone review it ASAP once it arrives!
I've had superman on the brain lately. Im working on a superman shelf. not just supes but supporting characters, and villains. Im looking for inspiration, suggestions, whatever ya got.
>>6141519
Being a 3.75 collector sucks these days.
I got it from google image search. just meant to embody the spirit.
>>6141538
Yeah, I know. I mean, we got the DC Multiverse line with a decent Reeve Supes, sucks that the line was cancelled.
The Man of Steel basic line would've been alright if the figures had knees and such and other characters besides all the weird Superman variants. Anywayyyyyyy, on a positive note: the DCC Lee Bermejo Supes is pretty good. So is the Greg Capullo one if you're not against the N52 suit.

It's shit.
Found this guy at work and have been fiddling around with him between jobs.
Really like it, very posable and expressive for something so small.Wish I got one for myself when it came out, its so bloody expensive now.
>>6208802
did you really steal that off some dudes desk? fuck you
>>6208809
Eh? When did I say I stole it?
It was left behind with a bunch of other toys by a former coworker. We've put most of them around the office.

My issue with the headdress is that the whole point of wearing such a huge thing is for it to be striking. Making it a solid chunk of silver with some minor paint job defeats the purpose and makes look cheap instead of rich. I think it would look good with a dark base color and silver paint for the rib-like details on it, which is pretty much how the rest of the figure goes.
>>6207105
>makes look cheap instead of rich.
But it is striking.
You're just too used to seeing things artificially weathered and aged over misconceptions of relics sitting untouched inside dusty tombs or buried in mud and ash.
When stuff was new, it didn't need anything but high end metals to denote your wealth and power.
Everything else about the skelelady looks brand new and shiny.
>>6207204
No, bullshit. He's absolutely right in what he says. You don't get to hold control over a conversation like that, just because you don't like something.
