Can any diobuilders explain why EVERYTHING has to be an alley or brick wall? Protip: you can't
Best guess is that bricks are an easy way to establish scale.
Still pretty lame though
Fuck the ACBA
As far as toy photography goes I think every cliche and stupid thing about it comes from the ACBA and their uninspired mess.
Why are Attack on Titan characters in an alley? Why is every character framed straight on and just a few "feet" from the wall like they're in a play? Why are all the rooftops the size of a small room?
Why do you assholes perpetuate this garbage?
We have a lot of Holy Grail threads, but how many of us are actually trying to get that grail? This thread is for that, the people who are teetering on making that final push.
Right now, the Armor Plus Samurai Troopers/Ronin Warriors are my grail, and I'm waffling on finally pulling the trigger. Right now, the money isn't an issue, and I really want them. But the QC issues leave me nervous. Ultimately they're the only quality figures of the characters(the old figures are nice, but leave a lot to be desired) and I doubt they'll get new releases. Anyone here have any experience with them?
Any grails you're hunting?
>>6110505
Yeah, not interested until they come out with the best cast member, Dais/Rajra
>>6110505
They definitely are not worth the after market prices, they were barely worth the MRSP with all qc issues. I sold mine off for a pretty penny even with two of them having broken hips.
>>6110505
I had the ones with spring loaded joints as a kid. So much fun with them.

Summary:
>Confined to an asylum for the criminally insane for the past four years, Nica Pierce (Fiona Dourif) is erroneously convinced that she, not Chucky, murdered her entire family. But when her psychiatrist introduces a new therapeutic “tool” to facilitate his patients’ group sessions — an all-too-familiar “Good Guy” doll with an innocently smiling face — a string of grisly deaths begins to plague the asylum, and Nica starts to wonder if maybe she isn’t crazy after all. Andy Barclay (Alex Vincent), Chucky’s now-grown-up nemesis from the original Child’s Play, races to Nica’s aid. But to save her he’ll have to get past Tiffany (Oscar-nominee Jennifer Tilly), Chucky’s long-ago bride, who will do anything, no matter how deadly or depraved, to help her beloved devil doll.

Ugh just end this shit already..
>>6110406
That Ages 15+ on the box cracks me up, considering he's supposed to be a little kid's toy.
>>6110729
It's a Chucky doll though, not a Good Guy doll.

How come we never get a General for a company that makes the most realistic looking figures ever?
How come they wont pick up the Halo license :(
1. Because /toy/ is for poorfags
2. Because there's already places to talk about Hot Toys online

To kick of the thread, what are your plans for 2017?
Hope for a certain re-release?
Major change in your group?
I just try to get a body for my rolling head and hope that the perfect doll is finally released for a certain character I have in mind.
And painting, lots of painting and finally taking more pictures again.
>>6100518
I'm hopefully getting my first resin BJD this year (my dolls are all Pullips/Azone dolls right now). I've finally given up all hope of getting my hands on a Nobledolls Raspberry. Leaning towards either Unoa or Iplehouse for brands. I like Iplehouse's aesthetic more than Unoa's, but posing and being able to find clothes are both really important to me. So yeah, finally going to take the plunge.
We all know them, We all hate them.
Lazy ass Lego sets.
ASHOKA'S LIGHTSABERS ARE WHITE/COLORLESS!
They hate Ashoka, apparently.
ITS NOT EVEN THAT HARD TO MAKE A MECHANISM TO MAKE THOSE WINGS MOVE LIKE THEY DID IN THE MOVIE!
>>6097021
>ITS NOT EVEN THAT HARD TO MAKE A MECHANISM TO MAKE THOSE WINGS MOVE LIKE THEY DID IN THE MOVIE!
It's not, but no toy version of Ren's shuttle has a moving feature. It was probably a last minute addition to the ship that did not get to the toy producers in time to fix it.
However, as someone who did mod the shuttle to have movable wings, I really got to give the Lego designers credit for making the static version an easier build (for younglings) and still very stable. The things I did adding in the giant hinges, while still legal builds, are way too complicated for younger people to do.
>>6097096
rens shuttle doesnt even look very close to the movie
>>6097104
we've been over this, they have to work off of prototype images
shit! i didn't know these were a thing!
finally a volnutt figure
>shit! i didn't know these were a thing!
Then how did you make a thread about it?
>>6095790
he looks the best among the 4 probably because of the joints
>>6095796
just saw them on ami ami
>>6095790
How tall are they? Will that Volnutt go with the 4inch-nels?
