>all your toys are now possessed and try to kill you
How fucked are you?
fuck off to /v/ idiot
>collect Small Soldiers figures
>have plenty of knives in the kitchen and tools in the basement
I'd say pretty fucked unless I found a broom to defend myself.
>>6105341
Well, considering they are all plastic and easily broken, not really fucked.
I have some questions about Xenomorph figures and a few others.
>First
I'm pretty new to this board and just picking out figures in general; I'm looking for a Xenomorph that's reminiscent of the warrior from Alien cause it's my favourite movie but I dunno who to buy from, I've got a budget of about 60$ give or take. Who should I dive for in terms of quality, posablilty and overall figure aesthetics?
>Second
Figure stands, is it like a "one-size-fits-all" kinda deal or do I have to figure out the measurements of my current and future figures?
>Third
Companies in general, like just a base line of who to not purchase from, and recommended brands.
I'm just kinda lost in all this stuff, I'm a pretty avid collector of BluRay but this is another ballpark entirely. I have a good collection of Funko Pop and of just toys from being a child and just stuff I on occasion pick up from Garage Sales and Goodwill, as well as a few decent figures I got from WalMart and GameStop. But those in hindsight seem like impulse buys to me, I like them don't get me wrong but they're stiff and hardly posable. Anyways I digress.
Just please point me in the right direction, Anons.
>>6105244
1.You want Neca aliens. Unless you have a few hundred to spend on the upcoming Hot Toys figures, Neca sets the gold standard for aliens.
2. You're in luck, Neca makes their own figure stands sold separately.
3. Every single company makes good and bad figures. Every single company makes figures I would happily buy and display.
Every company except Funko.
>>6105259
Alright thanks Anon, and I'm quickly seeing why people might not like Funko shit. I usually try to avoid the ones with Eyes and faces. The Songbird and Big Daddy are some favorites of mine that I own though, they can make good creatures and helmeted figures but everything else is just.. ugly. Unless you paint and modify them that is.
How well received is Revoltech? I'm browsing eBay right now and am seeing some pretty snazzy deals on an Alien figure, Boba Fett and a Stormtrooper. The price is nice but I feel like the joints might be shitty or something because of it.
old acquaintance >>6093826
what's the worst third party figure?
Spark Toys' Megs is up for preorder. Not really a fan of the design but I'm sure it's great for people who are.
>>6104452
Probably Sonicron.
>>6104457
If it's anything close to the quality of alpha pack, this will be a home run
Looks like Bandai is making some kind of Xevoz/bonkle thing
looks like a reuse of the ben10 stuff
What's the name of this.
>>6103574
That looks like Bardok from Xenoverse 2.
Unless your asking the line which I don't know.
Does your S.O. collect toys? What kind.
Kinda. She collects pops, and any silent Hill merchandise.
My gf collects Monster High (well not as much lately cause it seems kind of dead) and like some Hello Kitty stuff, etc., she used to be into Living Dead Dolls a long time ago, and she also collects anything Buffy-related
I'm also a girl but I guess I'm the butch one lol, I'm into like TFs, toku, superheroes, mecha anime, videogames, pretty much the normal shit people post about on here.
>>6102832
>lesbians are real
Alright /toy/, it's the 1st of the 1st, and it's time to look back at 2016.
Had a quick look through the catalog and I didn't see anything like this yet, weird because normally half a dozen people try to make one.
Anyway, what are your top 3 toys of this year?
For me it's pic related. I've been cutting down and didn't buy that many toys this year, but these three were definitely my favorites.
>Whitesnake
In a time when Medicos' quality is slipping, they did a great job with this guy, pulling off the writing on his body well, and generally sculpting and painting it nicely.
>SSH Kamen Rider Double
Favorite toy of the year. Massive improvement over the original SAS, and while not quite as accessory heavy as some of the other releases, they clearly put a lot of work into him.
>Masterpiece Ironhide
Shockwave was probably the better MP release of the year, but I didn't pick him up (yet). Ironhide was not only a decent rendition of the character, but one of the most cartoon accurate ones we've ever gotten, and won on many accounts.
Bandai really impressed me this year. Most years they make maybe 1 or 2 things that turn out good. Looking back on 2016, damn, Nippon killed it.
Hi-metal Glaug
Hi-metal Regult
SOC GoLion
RD Dom
RD Z'gok
SHF Ultraman
SHF Zoffy
Monsterarts Gojira '54
Chogokin no Katamari Gundam, Zaku, and Char's Zaku
If this becomes a trend, my wallet will not survive 2017.
Top 3? Maybe Golion, Z'gok, and Ultraman? I dunno. They're all really awesome.
Last year I made this thread and people bitched and moaned because they hadn't received their December order yet to include or that some people included toys from last year or just general that toy sucks shit. I like the idea and I think it's a great way to find new shit, but be prepared for autism. ADVANCED autism
>BST sucks for selling
>go to eBay
>price below other sellers, business is still slow
>add best offers, only get 75% off lowball poorfags that think postage is actually a free service "why yes I'll sell you that big GI Joe vehicle for $8 and no extra shipping, I'll still make big bucks! Thank you for the money now, I didn't need $35 after all"
when did eBay get worse than this shithole for selling toys or literally anything else?
tip: don't sell shit people don't care about
>GI Joe
why not just throw it into trash?
>>6101918
>Hasbro
>trash
sounds right, since you have to be trash to collect it
>>6101910
Started selling my collection of all kinds of shit in 2012 or so, had the same experience. And then if someone does buy something, they'll make you wait forever for payment or give you some ungodly horrible experience in whatever other way possible.
If you don't see stuff is selling for a particular amount consistently in "recent listings" you can say goodbye to any hopes of getting any reasonable amount, and you'll still have tons of listings end with x amount of watchers but no bids no matter how low you go. You'll then be made to feel as if everything you have is garbage from everyone else, or made out to be the devil because you're not BEING A BRO and asking for a mere couple of dollars or straight up donating and even paying for the shipping on top of it.
Fuck 'em all. Best thing to do is figure out whatever else you can do for money and donate the toys to goodwill if you really don't want them.
>first Dark Souls figure
>it's statueshit
>45k
Aren't figma doing stuff?
Also, there was some Funko POPs
Hate to break it to you but there is actually a Faaram set action figure coming out early next year
>>6098631
Figma is doing the bloodborne hunter.
Funko getting this IP only makes it hurt more.

Posting in a ghost town edition...
Some of the progress in the camouflage, this afternoon I'll do the black and some touch ups.
Right now looks quite weird desu, the colors will tone down I know but I'm not that sure about the beaten and chipped look now. Thou my faith shalt not falter in the darkest moments so I'll stick to it, but if I hate it it's time to strip and start fresh
Still working on it. Been busy before Christmas.
Just getting into the hobby.
Do you guys buy the specific paints for a kit or do you mix your own?

Pic is still outdated but anon >>6079556 said he will update it. Sorry anon if I already made a new thread. I waited 2 days for you to make one and was forced to make a new one since previous thread was already on page 10.
As for the questionnaire link you will first need to
register here:
http://www.tamashiinations.com/streetfighter/
Then they will send you the questionnaire link at a later date, date is unknown atm but I'm guessing it will be soon since season 2 for SFV just arrived today.
Just incase someone missed it. The new preorders are Deadshot(Suiceide Squad) and the trio from Aikatsu, Mizuki/Sakura/Kaede(1 body with 3 sets of heads/accessories)

HLJ has it for 7680JPY and you get 768JPY of store credit for the purchase! Nearly as good of a deal as the CDJapan super steal, and still completely worth it if you're in any way interested in the bell pepper!

Old thread >>6021524
What are you guys excited for in the new kickstarter coming soon?
I see these cool knights and shit all the time but I don't know the story. Is Mythic Legions just a shitty, unreliable kickstarter project that never puts anything out or what?
>>6069433
No it's an awesome kickstarter project that ships at the speed of molasses and sells out of any extra stock in 0,000 000 000 000 001 femtoseconds.
>>6069422
>What are you guys excited for in the new kickstarter coming soon?
Lady knights and more vampires
Rec thread. Rec figs you really like.
For the $25ish that's he's going for used, Figuarts Kamen Rider ZO is one of the best Figuarts I've ever messed around with. Aside from slightly weird shoulders, his articulation is great.
>The picture is for illustrative purposes only.
What else would it be used for?
>>6112162
It's another way of saying "actual product may vary from pictures". It's a way of ensuring that these companies don't get sued for false advertising should something go wrong.
Rec? As in 'recommend'?
If so, everyone should own either Bruce Lee and/or Body-Kun.
Technically this is a clock, not a toy. But I didn't know where else to ask. Has anyone seen a clock like this before? I found it at my parents house today. I'm just curious
>>6111154
Are you sure this isnt about the muppet in the picture?!
>>6111420
Or that star wars-related thing?
It's a cheap Chinese clock worth around 3.50.
Where the fuck is a lego thread?
I cant believe it - i cant find it. What happened to lego fans?
D-did we...g-got a separated board?
PS:
Btw yeah having a board like /lego/ on 4chan would be such an amazing idea.
JUST IMAGINE-all those tasty threads.
>>6111023
>6109967
I can understand your confusion OP since I don't consider Knights Kingdom to be Lego either
>>6111051
i saw Knights Kingdom but thought they just some bionicle/other Lego products thread.
Not a Lego General.

>That picture
Holy shit, I had a Penguin that looked just like that when I was really young, only in a different costume.
