In the late 90s/early 2000s there was a toy line about monsters/mutants. They were little rubbery figurines but NOT Monsters In My Pocket.
I think they were produced by the same people who made micro machines because I remember buying them in very similar packaging. I remember the packaging was very colourful and the back had details about each character.
There were different types of mutants I think. They had power levels and shit like that but I don't think they were like any typical monsters (no werewolves, vampires, etc). Does anyone know what I mean? I tried googling but no luck.
Is it perhaps Fistful of Aliens? It's the only line I can personally think of.
>>6005478
YES, thanks! Those are the ones. I knew they were monsters or mutants or aliens.
>>6005482
Glad I could help. Somewhere at my parents house I should have a decent amount of them. Wish I'd gotten one of their little ship/pod things. Maybe I'll keep an eye on ebay.
I'm looking for a stand like this for my figurative Trunks figure. Where do I buy them and does it matter which one I buy?

Tamashii stage act 4
>>6005029
So that will for sure fit his waist?
>>6005082
Yes.
My figures' boxes were ripped open at customs, my shipment was EMS with insurance, can I get a refund by the post office?
>>6004451
you want a refund over some damage done to the packaging?!
this is why I order from bbts, american site
>>6004767
Of course. Partial at least. I didn't pay 7k yen for an item with no box, I could've paid half the price for a used item instead.
Tad weird that they'd not only do a figma this late after the movie came out but also base it off how the main actor looks in his adult years, but oh well.

After seeing multiple HD pics I decided to pre-order
They really nailed the paint-on-canvas texture

Great joke, I'm actually really interested in this figure

KNOE!
Where would my dumb ass search for someone possibly selling something that was only sold in japan years ago for 300 dollars
shit, the doll is named Kuromi if someone wants to spoonfeed me a direct link to a seller
>>6003980
I'll throw you general tips out of pity, find its Japanese name (as in in the native typeset), browse mandarake and throw that into the search, or even into a proxy service with a search function like from japan etc.
This isn't like a funko pop, spoonfeeding something so niche isn't a 5 minute job, could take an hour or more, so basically search for this doll/plush in japanese via proxy services or mandarake, unless you wanna see what ebay has and risk buying a fake or worse pay twice as much as you're asking
>>6004328
ebay had nothing, and these tips are more than enough, thank you

For those unfamiliar, "Plamo" is a shortened form of "plastic model." If it's made of plastic, someone can probably help you here.

A few things:
-Use an active email, I don't want to be hounding you and then have to repair someone.
-Use your full address, I don't know every damn city and zip code in the US.
A new option, Cards Only. If you pick this you're assumed to be willing to ship international (it's a card after all). It doesn't have to be a handmade card, just something nice. Of course handmade is nicest, but not everyone has the skills for it.

Is there a market for these things? The store where I work got a display corrugate and full retinue of Hatchimals today. Like an hour later we were getting calls from people asking if they could buy one, one woman even asked if she could buy all of them and was still pleased to settle for five.
I bought one because even if I don't turn a profit on it I have a niece I can give it to.
I don't know anything about this shit, is there a better place than others to buy/sell toys? Am I an asshole for expecting to make any money off this fad toy that might just get kicked into high production in another week anyhow?
>>5999971
>Am I an asshole
Most likely
>>5999971
These fuckers are getting scalped hard, even selling it right now will net you almost 2x the cost. I can only imagine the prices closer to Christmas when parents get more desperate.
We've had boxes trickling in and had to make it 1 per customer so no cunts. like that woman in your store, can buy them all.
are they really even that great? it feels like most of the interest is in the actual hatching process
Post cube or square shaped things.

It is time /toy/ to confess your sins!
Reveal your most horrible toy secrets.
I've bought more Mattel items this year than any other company.
I haven't touched any of my SHFs or figmas in months.
I love startling necanons
>reserve not met
>people bid past the price of something new and available for used
>auction ends
>have 3 days to ship out
>buyer messages 9am EST the next day asking why I haven't shipped the package yet
some asshat keeps listing a bunch of figma and figuarts with a reserve price for the past two months.
I've won both auctions, reserve not met both times. he slightly modifies the listing in hopes of more bids. I bid to the max of their worth on the aftermarket, he won't 'second chance' me or anything.
What releases are you looking forward to?
Anything in the mail?
Personally I was looking forward to the two new HI-METAL Rs, mostly for the chest cover piece (that should've been there from the start. Fuck you Bandai).
Any chances people recast this piece to sell online?
>>5968944
Wouldn't be too hard. I'd imagine we'd see them on shapeways soon.
I've got the Hikaru VF-1 coming too. Contemplating canceling my VF31J since the 2nd half of delta really put a bad light on the entire show for me, but I'm holding out to get a Mirage VF31 to display dancing together.
Best figure of Roy's Skull Leader Fighter?
Hoping for something that can triple mode.
