We're only just now transitioning into the 90's kid era. The 80's kids had their fun and now are transitioning to obscenely priced sideshow statues.Slowly, but surely, we're getting premium, or at least nicer, stuff. There's a real nice Chogokin Megazord coming out.There's also a really nice vinyl of the Megazord from X-Plus that looks exactly like the show suit prop.Maybe in 5 or 10 years we'll see more prop replicas of the actual zords.

On big issue when it comes to getting more MMPR quality figures is that most of those quality figures come from Japan, where the Sentai season MMPR was based on isn't particularly important. It has a following, but other series eclipse it in popularity. Sentai series are largely treated as disposable with some exception; old mecha designs are rarely revisited or given new figures.

What's the most popular Sentai series in Japan?

This guy and Megatron. Wanted them so bad, but knew getting both were near impossible.

We got to pick a present to open under the tree and I knew the box size and immediately grabbed this! When my grandparents came over later they had got me Megatron. One of the best Christmas.

Nice OP, dragon island was one of those rare toys that I played with over and over again. I was bought a ton of stuff growing up and most of it lost it's luster after a day or two, but this I came back to over and over again.

My dad bought me this when I was around 7.

I didn't get to see him much, so time spent with him or things he gave to me I really cherish. I wish I still had it but it was among all my other lego stuff that got sold when I moved home.

Why order that when you can get this for only $20?

yeah, i'm digging him too

>>6147930
I'm not too keen on Hawke. She looks like she belongs in the other line they're continuing, the animated one. It also looks like they invested in new tooling for the body but just went and painted the clothing on like some shitty wrestling figure.

And I was hoping we'd get Hoove before Quakke but at least they didn't half-ass him like Mattel probably would have.

>>6177090
Hey I have that Viking spawn. How much would you pay for it?

>>6177096

Depends. Are you from Europe?

>>6177090
Man McFarlane made some awesome spawn figures. Depending on which ones you want, they're actually fairly cheap prices.

Gaoranger had a pretty dope theme song too

Probably so, yeah. I think they had the fewest changes from the Japanese versions at that point. I got Animus at the tail end of that line and was impressed by how far Zords had come since the last one I owned (Super Zeo Megazord). Then I bought the Ninja Storm Megazord a month or so later and couldn't believe how shitty it was in comparison. I wish I had bought more Wild Force Zords.

>>6175285
the one with gorilla for the torso still the coolest zord ever

>>6169448
Sculpting wise they are the same, paint application could be sloppy and the material used for the clothes could be shitty, otherwise they are sometimes just as good as the legit thing.

Don't all Hot Toys come from China? The company is based in Hong Kong and their manufacturing is done on the mainland.

Are you talking about the $37 ones on ebay? The Crow wasn't a hot seller but I wouldn't expect a legit one to run less than $150. Most Hot Toys bootlegs are pretty shit. It's not like most toy bootlegs where they can just crank out midnight special runs using existing stolen moulds. There's a lot of intricate sewing, painting, etc. that let's them justify the cost of the originals.

Just buy her a legit one. Valentine's Day is next week.

Yes in the rc world you get what you pay for. I own a 400 dollar chassis and its a nice car.

>>6166885
On road is fun, but you gotta have. Big place to use it. Most common scale is 1/10, so the lest expensive stuff will be around there. If you're set on a street car, check out hpi and their sprint series (or rs, if you have some extra bucks). For off-road, I really enjoy ecx.

>>6167094
This. I think the fun comes from building, tweaking, testing and meeting up with other enthusiasts to race yours against theirs. So I guess you'll have to find out if you like building and tweaking them first.

Use a plate.

They're aimed at children mostly, so they make them cartoony to be less threatening to parent's buying their kid a man with an axe. That's why "collector" brands exist, to capitalize on older buyers with realistic designs in most cases. Unless you're trying collect a character from a kid's show in which case why are you watching shows for five year olds?

Kenner was going just as to shit in the 90s when they got bought out by Hasbro. Toybiz the same, but early 2000s. For toybiz, it was QC. For Kenner, just shoddy products. Never got past the 5POA stage, just started making the sculpts more exxxtreme exxxagerated proportions.

>>6173136
Kenner's Beast Wars was articulated as fuck for the era, though.

Can we expect a Gyro pre-order already? I'm pretty new to the releases of this line

>>6163291
Give it a few months and check the Medicos website since release info gets shown there.

>>6163293
Thanks man

Not that immediately spring to mind. Closest you're going to get is the new Diaclone stuff, or the current Transformers line where the heads come off and become tiny dudes that can go in the cockpits of the vehicle modes

The closest mainstream thing at the moment is the titans return transformers line

at one point it was flavor of the month anime and the niftiest of gundam models, now i focus on more relevant stuff, mostly my childhood nostalgia.

While gundam is a big part still only gundam wing based models and robot damashii action figures (and only a few at that) do the job rather than half the years model kit releases (sick of building what just stands there), robotech/macross has come back thanks to the hi metal r line (keeping it to just those so i dont blow out room space with the larger toys), and since im clearly a mecha fag transformers gets a massive serving with a healthy dose of shitty retail toys to mess and my holy grails, the masterpiece line which is near the endof the desire list.

and of course anything vidya related, with some notes from this fine man>>6174983
truly the man we all are deep inside
