Walmart employee here. Walmart does not care about toys. I saw a bunch of rogue one toys last week and our department manager of toys is a lazy piece of shit that never does anything.

>street date

>>5940535

I tried it out, and honestly it looks okay, but a little weird. Like here >>5939453
Guts's skin tone is really dark, which I think fits a lot more with his Black Swordsman figma look, and the dark skin clashes with the matte dark blue-grey colors of the Berserker armor figma. Also Guts is supposed to have some leather straps around his upper body but if that doesn't matter to you then it's fine (also, you would need to paint that white streak of hair, but you probably already knew that).
I really like his lighter skin tone in Berserk Musou and I think it would look even better with a black-colored armor like pic related.
I'm pretty sure we won't get any more Berserk figmas after the God Hand, but I do know that ThreeZero is making a Berserk armor 1/6 Guts figure (though I think it's going to be in the awakened beast form).

>>5939654
Ok. Any idea as to how to give the guy some straps without permanent modification?

>>5938191
Bandai candy department is beautiful.

Oh noiiice. When I found out about mugenbine it was too hard to find, so I'm happy about this.

Cover them in undiluted dish soap and let it sit for a few hours. Avoid getting it in joints that may have metal bits.

That sticky residue is actually the plastic of the figures degrading. You can clean it off, but it will continue to form as the plasticisers extrude toward the outer surfaces.

Hey OP

What toys have the stickiness and do you live in a really hot area?

You've never been to Japan have you?

Bandai are such quitters

You african or something? Most jap online stores ship around the world no matter the country, unless you explain to us why you need (or think you need) a forwarder it's hard to recommend anything

Im actually from Paraguay (South America) - (Not Uruguay, they sound alike)

AKA I don't want all of my pictures to show my computer, a random cookie jar, flowers, or whatever crap I have on the table at the time. I want the focus to be on the figma/model..not it's surroundings

Depending on what kinda figures you're taking pictures of, nature can be your greatest asset. Natural light, proper settings, adds an element of realism that helps bring your toys to life, so to speak.

>>5935929
Do you recommend taking pictures outside?

>>5935743
Nope.

Just take off her dress.

Then there's the other Figma that come with a sitting legs part like the Girls und Panzer ones.

Yes.

Figs with dresses/skirts are absolutely shite for most poses, I try to avoid them.

Here is Forbes article about Bandai


>If we are looking competitors or even collaborators, we look at people like Neca as a competitor in the same category but we don’t look at traditional toys in the same way, as the product specification differs.

>we don’t view companies like Hasbro or Mattel as being in the same category as us.

Hmm, interesting.

>In Japan, companies like GoodSmile would be our main competitors. Not Takara Tomy, but Goodsmile.

And this is how figma/S.H. Figuarts Sakura, Bruce Lee, Ryuki/Dragon Knight turned out to be because they kept one upping each other.

>We also consider companies like Hot Toys as a competitor

Huh, I wonder why, since Hot Toys caters to 1/6 scale.

>In terms of events, if you look at Wonder Festival in Japan, which has its roots in the garage kit community and it’s a unique event, but ComicCon is an ideal outlet for us

So that's why they rarely go to Wonfes.

>in recent years they’ve secured a number of Western licenses too and turned their attention to building their presence in that market as well.

Guess more Western license figures to come.

>“Our top five brands in the US are probably Dragon Ball, Sailor Moon, Super Mario, Star Wars and Power Rangers. Godzilla is also very big too.”

But I thought they stopped making Sentai/Power Rangers S.H Figuarts< unless they mean the upcoming SOC Megazord and Legacy Zords?

>“Though there have been other areas where we have had a difficult time, Alien vs Predator with Neca. We had diecast and better articulation but at the same time their level of sculpt was really good. So there are areas we sometimes need to regroup and think how can we do this differently and succeed.”

Wow Neca beat Bandai for once(feel free to correct me). Never thought I'll hear/read that non the less from Bandai themselves.

>We also do big surveys at all our events, in some ways that’s one of the primary reasons we do the events.

How I wish I could attend those events.

>Guess it means we will see more Nintendo characters being made into figures/figma/nendo in the future.

No it doesn't. It just means they want to do more if they get the chance. They probably will but it's not a confirmation.

>Huh, I wonder why, since Hot Toys caters to 1/6 scale.

They kind of go into that in the interview, basically because they also do figures with price ranges in the Hot Toys category. They don't view Hot Toys as a competitor for their Iron Man Figuarts and the like.

>we don’t view companies like Hasbro or Mattel as being in the same category as us.

Western toy collectors on suicide watch.

>>5935251
Nope, don't even know who that is

Stay in school, kid

>>5935257

Don't you know that's the ultra-cool bald soldier protagonist in "Vidya Flavor of the Month 2: Revelations"?

He's going to be the next big thing since Mario or Sonic!

I think Rainbow 6 siege is actually getting figures soon

I only pose my figures with stands on my desk OP. my cat thankfully moves carefully around them anyway

My cat only once leaned on them but he didn't find it very comfortable so he never did it again.
And he doesn't take interest in things that don't move so I generally trust him around my toys.
