How good is the Medicom Amazing Spider-Man 2? I impulse purchased one and i'm deciding if I should return it or not.
It's kind of a floppy mess. Expect legs that will never stay in place, knees that will never stay bent, and if you got the deluxe set, a Peter Parker face that looks nothing like Andrew Garfield.
>>6090804
Return him and pre-order Revo Spidey.
I've bought this fucker too back when he was completely new. I thought the fig was okay at first but then his hand popped off (I didn't hamhanded him or anythin it just happened). I've glued it back, though. And then after keeping it in the box for half a year (I don't keep all of my figures on the shelf) I see he's started to lose color. His interchangeable hands and some of the paint on his body had faded away.. And no, the box was kept away from the Sun and high temperature.
So yeah, MAFEX's a shit.
>>6090804
Got one when i first came out too. not that great looks okay but a lot of QC issues. mine has some really floppy shoulders. like the other anon said just pre-order the revo spidey
>wound up with $100 in amazon money
Any recs for cool toys? Amazon having just about everything and not-the-best prices makes searching for random things a little inefficient.
>>6090141
there are little gundam scale figures under 15$

are you talking articulated like assault kingdom or pretty much unarticulated like converge?

I've got around £350, what Lego sets should I get for myself?
>>6089647
The ones most likely to rise in price so you can sell them on in 4 years for a small profit.
>>6089655
aka sets with k2so, the last 4 bionicle sets still on sale and ones with currently obscure marvel superheroes that will be getting movies in the future
>>6089647
None, spend it on something good.

How are the Rogue one builds? I kind of want to get the guy with the red armor suit, seems to have the best value.
>>6088160
Baze? is he even out yet? Shore trooper looks pretty good. I'd say go with K2 or Vader if you're big into G1 since Vader has a technic chest build and K2 features a punching gimmick. Everyone else is a built up CCBS body.
Is it wrong that I commissioned an artist to draw porn of Viper, from TTV?
There are now bootlegs of the Vulcanolog Venom Snake and Figma Gurlokovich Soldier. Anybody have them and can tell how the quality is?
>>6070463
i just bought the gurlokovich soldier so i'll update you if the thread is still around
Revos are pretty finicky, I imagine a bootleg would be fucking awful.
>>6073266
Finicky how?
They're fantastic from my experience.
Who cares about challenges or linking to the old thread?
Let's talk LEGO!
KEK edition?
Anywho, finished my BvS Batwing.
Thoughts?
>>TFW birthday is the day after voltron season 2..

>>TFW going to London that day.
Man the voltron toys look good
They are very good. I managed to get a couple.
Ask anybody who now owns the Black and Green lions anything!
The individual lions come with plenty of cool crap, they're nice on their own!

Speaking of which, it would be kinda rad and related if he did franchises like the pic in OP, but it would probably come out looking like a Chitose in cosplay.

>Is it possible to build on a faceup after you've applied a semi gloss to parts?
Difficult.
You can seal it again to get back some of the grip and then apply more pastel.
Or you go straight for acrylic.
It might turn out okay, but it really depends on how the lips were painted before (like, when you have painted on lip lines those might look fugly if you blush on top of them).
>>6056576
I think the FL body is pretty, but definitely has that Last Unicorn aesthetic.
My favourite is the Luts one too, had them here several times for commissions now and they are both nice looking and pose so damn well.
You can even let them make a "handstand" just with the front hooves or let it balance on one back hoof while the rest of the doll is in the air (pic related, not mine).
No clue how the fuck that works, because I have human dolls who refuse to even fucking stand with both feet on the ground.
The Soom MSD one was a bit too plain and had a gigantic ass, and the small ones went a little to far with the hanging belly.
And the Epidos one was a shame because the human part looked incredibly silly.
Chiron looked weird, same for the female Souldoll.
I honestly hope Luts will finally release a SD centaur someday.
>>6058751
That's some impressive shit there. I'd be nervously hoverhanding it like a beta getting his picture taken with Jessica Nigri
Toys you want a whole lot but can't afford.
Full metal alchemist is my fav anime but the only good figure is $150+
Guess I'll have to settle for the nendoroid.

What about a second-hand one for 90 USD+shipping?
http://order.mandarake.co.jp/order/detailPage/item?itemCode=1052006370&ref=list
>>6053567
There are some Play Arts (NOT kai) ones that came out that were like 1/12 scale. They're actually pretty good, and not too expensive if you find them on mandarake.

Nope, nothing yet. Might find out what's next (if there is a "next") after the Super Mega Man & Cut Man set.

What's your most recent purchase?
I'll start, Mafex Armoured Batman.
Hasn't gotten here yet, but I just ordered the revoltech mark 7 iron man
>>6001229
Nice man, how much was it?
>>6001236
I can unequivocally say that it's the best 6" Batman figure I own.
With Mafex I expected major QC issues, but it's honestly impeccable.
Only kinda downside is no light up eyes.
