Monthly Building Challenges:
>Currently taking ideas for October challenges!
Post some below if you have any.
Decided to move these pictures over to the new thread.
Bookshop update! Since some people seem interested in it.
This is it from the front.
Any and all input is super extra welcome.
Be it ideas or shit posting, or whatever. Please lemme know.
minifigs are just a smidge too big for the cabin, what a missed opportunity
at least i didn't drop all that money on a ghost rider fig

And here it is from the back.
Also, as a bonus, the bookcase up against the stairs actually hinges outward, leaving a secret closet under the stairs.
I'll have this next to my Detective modular, so this will help spread the bootlegging story to my custom build.
Whatcha think?
Wich character based of a real actor/actress would you like made as a figma?

Where to buy
>GSC Online Shop - some figmas only are available through their online shop
>Amiami - usual place for buying, to some people, shipping is a bit higher due to packaging
>Hobby Link Japan shipping is usual lower, but their prices are a bit higher, private warehaouse is available
>Hobby Search Japan - items stay in stock the longest
>Mandarake - search figma or フィグマ
>eBay/Amazon - only if you hate having too much money. Avoid bootlegs, you can spot them as 'Chinese version'
>http://jungle-scs.co.jp/ - Seems like you can fine some good deals here
>Check the BST threads, My Figure Collection for any offer/deal

The S shape is always good advice though. The basic idea is that straight lines tend to look stiff.

Didn't see the general
>>5912540
Either it went up in smoke or I'm blind af
tfw kaiju fags have been so neglected that they devolved into bitter shitposters
maybe its just /m/ crossboarding, but at this point those threads are better.
>>5912540
How much is he gonna be? I honestly wouldn't be so bothered by these reissues if the retail prices weren't as expensive as the old aftermarket prices I passed on.
ITT: fun toys that weren't action figures
>>5931292
those spytech gadgets from the late 80s/early 90s? they were the shit!
Also
ITT: You nostalgia you lose
Old thread is dead.
Anyone got pics of the upcoming sixshot? Is it an extensive retool of Blaster?
>>5930991
>Is it an extensive retool of Blaster?
Are you fucking blind?
>>5930992
>>5930991
I want a sixshot.
When will it come out?
old thread >>5915225
Anyone picked up one off those BB7/BBQ MP11 Skywarp KOs? Any good? Some people are saying they hold together better than Takara
Are KFC's poseable MP hands any good? I was potentially going to buy MP Road Rage, and I have MP G2 Sideswipe, and was wondering if the poseable hands were worth the money. At that scale they do look a bit frightening I have to say. That and KFC's track record is quite frankly abysmal.
Got any new stuff to show, /toy/?
>>5913529
my room, more pics to come!

I hope that autist doesn't show up to complain again. I prolly shouldn't even say anything, he'll sense I've posted...BAKA.
BIZARRE TOY THREAD
Where are the M&Ms you fruitcake
Can this guy still be found anywhere for retail prices?
>>5909645
He can be found in my house.
I have one boxed and in excellent condition. What's it worth these days? Paid about $35 shipped for it when released. Got Snake for the same price.
Bootleg Toys Thread
Post bootleg toys.
Hey guys, been looking for a new typeface and set of blending options to use when I Photoshop the OP images. If anyone wants to post some ideas here (along with a download for the PS file if you don't mind) I'd be open to changing it around.
Right now I use Plavsky with the one named "third" here: https://mega.nz/#!GY0ATKiI
For those unfamiliar, "Plamo" is a shortened form of "plastic model." If it's made of plastic, someone can probably help you here.

Submissions:
Email it to [email protected]
USE AN ACTIVE EMAIL ADDRESS
Due Date: November 1st
Good news! A kind anon has purchased some prizes for the group build. He has decided to do a random drawing rather than judge them like I did in the previous group build. Winners will be contacted via email.
For those curious, I intend to start the secret Santa signups on October 1st.
