Looks like something Mego would have made.

Do you have all the Force Friday 2 shit you wanted? Still holding out or passing entirely? Surely you've added some new additions, so lets see those updated collections!
Enjoy your new pegwarmer boys. It's HER turn now! Women can be unwanted toys just like men!
Also fuck Hasbro for not revealing this shit beforehand.
I bought the 5poa Luke BECAUSE I didn't think we were getting a good figure. We still don't have an articulated old Han!
And fuck 'em again because these figures showed up quicker than lightning, but I STILL can't get a 3inch Scariff trooper!
Also these wouldn't ring up. I went through 5 motherfucking women of varying Walmart heirarchy before someone had to type them into the system after seeing all the Finn pegwarmersto sell them to me.
Also, also, I hate these new movies but I like having the old OT crew...and I'm a sucker for that executioner axe.
I got my mafex RO vader.
Definitely my favorite vader. Really a step up.
Come on and join us in discussing giant bases, customs, conventions and not so great distribution of the best line of all!

Have a question about a kit? Check out:
https://www.scalemates.com/kits/ and look for the review section.
Did anyone order or plans to order one of pic related or the mkI? I was thinking of getting the meng one but as I don't care about the mk version and like them all I'm not sure if I should wait or get one of the meng versions
>>6510145
I won't pre order it (is not an exclusive or anything worthy of that) as I have a ton of stuff in the stash but I might get one one in christmas, haven't build the meng ones but both should be good so I think the main point is choosing which mk you want I think.
Also who the fuck is t-rex studio?
Almost unpacked from my move so I can start working again. So excited.
Pic unrelated but I do have it in the stash

Reposting
Gyro is pretty good
My paint application is as good as other SAS I have, QC was pretty shit with the other ones though.
Paint shading is there but not accentuated like other SAS
Articulation sturdy feels good like Medicos finally arrived to this age articulation standard on an user nonetheless.
Plastic feels I don't know lighter?
Solid 7/10 lacks accessories, shine in his eyes and shading should look better
Does anyone know if LC Models is planning to finish their TV Clothes EX line? The last one (Cygnus) has been released for a while now.
Also Saint Seiya general I guess.
>>6504584
Bandai shut them down.
>>6504591
Are you sure you're not thinking of another company? They just reissued their TV EX Seiya like a month ago.

Okay does anyone know if you can swap out any SS hips to the Ronin Warriors ones.

Does the fact that nendoroid Akko sold out already on pre-order help in any way for us to have nendoroid Diana or even a LWA figma?
It isn't necessarily sold out. It's about to be released so they just closed the orders so they can have the time to get the shipments ready.
>>6483641
No.
>>6483641
We can only hope. It's possible but we'll have to wait.
Old >>6520836
>>6521575
Am I the only one remotely excited for the new line?
did people do this shit with TR too?
>>6521585
I'm excited for it. It's better than TR.
>>6521585
What? Have standards?
Anybody here ever do any stop motion with their stuff?
Bump for interest and advice
>>6519632
My advice is don't try and use that fucking Blossom figure, because it fell over about 1000 times while I was making that gif. Also, pencil around the feet.
>>6519638
I'm actually impressed that you managed to make her stand knowing that the Heartcatch figuarts are a pain in the ass in that regard thanks to their heavy hair.
Good pic, by the way. Being meguca is suffering.
Anything Re-ment, your collections, pre-orders etc. Would also like to see how you display your collections.
Oh my gosh this is adorable!
>>6518449
I want some of these, but holy he'll they get pricey.
I just bought the pikachu cafe one. Can't wait for the kirby ones.
I'm heading to Japan this weekend. Besides Mandarake, where should I search for toys?
Something more specific than Nakano Broadway and Akihabara please.
>>6507757
mandarake jungle nippon-yasan amiami toys r us
>>6507757
Book Off
>>6507757
Akiba Culture Zone in Akihabara. There was a store on floor 4 or 5 or something that's entirely just glass cases with toys. Lots of other good shops there too.
Anyone still collecting this line? Because Crocodile is next up.
man all they had to do was make them a bit smaller to appeal to scale autists and poorfags and toss in some effect parts for weaponless characters like luffy and they would have made a fucking mint
>>6506543
they pay well, tho. It's a lot easier for a scale autist or normie to justify buying the entire Straw Hat crew at $50 per human-sized character than like $75 or $80
