Palisades was like a goddamn fever dream. You know how sometimes you can tell Hasbro or Mattel cut some corner or cheaped out on something? It felt like Palisades was almost pushing TOO MUCH at you. Cutting their margins razor-thin to give you huge set pieces and amazing sculpts and tons of accessories for very fair prices. I will forever mourn their death. But deep down I knew that a company couldn't keep giving and giving like that--it would have to implode sooner or later.

>>6372216
That and their refusal to sell their products outside of specialty stores. Places like Media Play, FYE, and Suncoast were practically dead at this point.

I remember getting the entire first wave of Invader Zim for Christmas. I was one happy scene kid.

Diamond Select Muppets not as good sadly.

Mythic Legions, bro

Pricier than I'm looking for. I'm seriously talking Generic stuff that. The bare minimum of my specifications, or the absolute closest to it.

Years ago I got something very similar to what I'm talking about at K-Mart for only like $10. Only articulation was shoulder swivel, leg swivel, and neck swivel. Came with like five weapons, two shields, and some other stuff. No idea what set it was from, but it's that kind of stuff I'm talking about.

>>6379346
>stuff that meets the bare minimum

No clue how I did that.

it's weird how you only ever hear about western toy properties having these problems

OP doesn't understand the cost of doing small runs, especially like their sofubi stuff. On topmof that, doesn't understand that the Adult Collectible label is to avoid having to go through rigorous standards and testing of things meant for children when this is really toy-shaped art. OP doesn't understand the difference between Funko ReAction and Super7's lines.

Basically OP is dumb.

I don't like Super7 either but at least I understand it enough to not be a crybaby fag about it.

Fuck, Kablam was so good.
The bit where Melt Man keeps getting stabbed or smashed is the best shit.
Always wanted an action figure of the Flesh. Clearly it's a repaint, but does anyone know what the original toy was? Wanna try to kitbash this one day.

>>6378529
It is written, only Google can answer your question.

>>6378703
I only can find some info about past years about Hasbro stuff but I cant find summer 2017-2018, some sites have some stuff but only for focused things like Star Wars

>>6378529
Almost all published toy release dates are lies. Many companies contract everything out and don't even know what they're getting let alone when they're getting it. There is really no need to try to follow them.

Was Greatshot a better reuse of the mold than Quickswitch?

One step Cogman.

>>6375807
they look nice but articulation is shit

I had one before, it felt like a 20 dollar toy; basically 0 weight to them but I've never had the diecast ones so theres that

>>6375807
They're pretty good. I prefer the Sentinel figures, personally. Sentinel have a store in roughly the same place as Hot Toys' Secret Base and Toy Sapiens, so go and have a look for yourself.

>>6372868
What have you done to it that you needed water and soap to clean? And why did you think it was a good idea to clean a figure with metal parts using water?

Sometimes I just don't understand what some of you guys are thinking.


If there's a way to disassemble the shoulders (are there any screws?) do it and check what happened there.

>>6372868
Water is incredible for the fact that it can be a lubricant or an abrasive.
Water has locked the joints up. You can use a hair dryer but the best way to fix this is dissassemby and wiping out the parts

>>6372868
>Could it become rusty, l mean its metal right?

I've got the Kidrobot Lich and his limited edition glow in the dark colorway. Don't collect much in the way of Kidrobot simply due to a lack of licenses I'm interested in. Last I checked the only licenses they had I was interested in were Adventure Time and South Park. Only actually own the Adventure Time stuff and really like the pieces I have. Of the AT stuff is anything to go by, you'll probably be safe if you don't buy immediately but if you wait too long you may have trouble finding what you want or face latecomer's tax.

>CW Captain Cold and Heat Wave
They're actually not that bad. If anything I feel like it's the paint that brings them down. Beyond that, Cold's hoodie could have been shaped better.

I just ended up customizing mine with the hood pulled back since I prefer that look.

>>6370815
I'm glad I got out of capeshit tv shows before I added all those flash/arrow/gotham figures to my order list.

>>6371058
How did you do that? Did you glue it down or something?

If it's MP scale and brainmaster gimmick is not shit - I'm in for Road Caesar.

>>6370691

These are not MP scale. Small voyager ish I believe.

>>6370695
Isn't Voyager-ish basically MP scale for the carbots likes Prowl/Sideswipe/Tracks/Wheeljack?

I had a giant ball of green sticky tack when i was younger that i pretended was a symbiote named "Venomous" and I would kind of sculpt it over my marvel toys and make it into like a symbiote version of them with toothpicks for the teeth and stuff.
Then web-climbing Spider-Man would eventually beat the symbiote off of them somehow and i would tear pieces of the symbiote off like battle damage.
My Thing ml still has sticky tack in his armpit joints.

>dump out all my toys onto the table and separate them into factions for a last-man standing war. The last man stays in my collection

>fights consist of knocking any figures off somehow and into the floor/give-away toy box below. old factions were no more, a lot more pew-pewing than ever before, even fell on my own toys just to emphasis how epic the war should be

>last toys standing were down to four: Man-E-Faces, Happy Meal Sonic (the favorite), Ares from Hercules, and that balancing Fisher Price apple.

>Spun the apple so hard towards the 3 others in a desparate attempt to survive

>knocks out 3 of them as it falls onto the floor. but as luck would have it, Sonic survives, only brushed off near the edge of the table.

>im just about to pick him up to congratulate him, but then someone slams the front door. Sonic falls, into the toy box.

>i end up keeping no one, and start packing everything for donation the next day.

Had all the original Star Wars figures. Had an X Wing. Got a Space 1999 Eagle for Xmas. (You know the one. The Big fucker).
Story goes that The Falcon was destroyed in an epic battle, so Solo and Chewie got the Eagle as a replacement. Then all the main cast took off to explore space, when they met the Micronauts. Teamed up and had wonderful, fantastic adventures. Then they came to Earth, and met the Shogun Warriors. Soon they all got together, and continued. Met up with the Mego super heroes (not the 5 inch scale, but the 1/18 or so plastic ones). Then they ran into GI Joe, and teamed up to defeat Cobra. Everybody took off to the stars again,an have never been seen since.

Pic related. It's me.

I've got a Doctor or two, and I don't think the line is too bad, really. Paint-wise, it's not great, but as toys, they're not bad if you can find them for a good price. I still need an in-scale TARDIS, though, and can't find any around me.

The human characters look terrible but I got the Tardis and a couple Daleks to interact with my Joes and Star Wars. Sadly the Daleks are kinda shrimpy.

Well, my Who haul came.

Black Dalek from the value pack came with a fucked up head, so I managed to get a refund, but other than that all the figures are pretty cool, and the electronic rusty is the funnest toy I've bought in a long time. Also, immediately painted the red on the inside of 12s coat, and I'm hoping to pick up a regeneration figure for the head.

So I have this old, broken, wooden ~1:35 Douglas Dakota model... I am mainly interested in Busou Shinkis/FAGs (~1:12 scale), so I want to use this model to build a sort of diorama, but I don't have nice ideas and the different scales seems a real problem. Suggestions?

>>6364929
that's such a terrible idea. go sell your dc3 on ebay to some restorer.
go find something appropriate to do with your gundam shit.
