Starting this thread by commanding this guy for is bro prices, bummer he bought them all up, but all around helpful!
>>6336504
What are you even trying to say?
Let's talk about Ninja turtle toys. All toys, classic, modern.
What toys are you looking forward to, anons?
Have any purchases you are considering and need insight from others?
Recent acquisitions?
I recently got the S.H Figuarts Michelangelo, which now gives me all 4 of the turtles and I also just got the Revoltech Raphael. Will consider getting the other 4.
What I'm really on the fence about is ThreeZero's upcoming Out of the Shadows Raphael 1/6 scale figure. It looks really awesome, but I'm concerned about what the figure is made out of. It looks like it uses a lot of rubber to get the "look" of the reptilian skin, so I'm a bit concerned at how that would degrade over time.
>>6319204
All I want is a modern, decent quality "reboot" of the Playmates 80s figures, a la MOTU or the NECA Aliens/Predators. Is that really too much to ask? Surely SOMEONE must have thought of it by now.
>>6319222
You really think that Playmates is going to give up their designs?
>>6319204
Not interested in buying anything Ninja Turtles but the Mega Bloks/Construx stuff and the minimates.Smaller scale stuff means it takes up less space plus both lines have better articulation than the main line.
I'm looking forward to seeing what the next cartoon looks like and how Playmates can fuck that up. I would like to see what Jei looks like up close though.
119$ feels like a hard sell for a robot that's half backpack. At least Amiami has him down to 82$.
What are everyone else's thoughts about the new MP carbot price point?
old thread >>6358117
>>6359586
>What are everyone else's thoughts about the new MP carbot price point?
Fucking insanity, I tell you what. You can get similarly sized 3P figures that are the same (or better) quality, for less. 3P's started out much higher priced, and are now officially cheaper, it's a fucking madhouse out here in Japan apparently.
>>6359586
They know they can charge that because they downsized the chest everyone bitched about on the lambos
Plus sunstreaker probably wanted those extra-pricey topcoats on his precious paintjob
>>6359586
I already don't buy MPs because they are overpriced.
So in either personal opinion and/or general consensus-- what are some of the worst waves ever released by any property, and company, etc?
Eternal pegwarmers? All lame characters? All shitty QC? etc...
>>6357260
every neca goji fig, exept 54, the only good one. the rest have shitty qc and paint. not to mention the terrible sculpts. the 2 worst ones are gmk and shin
>>6357290
The 2014 Godzilla is great too though. They scanned the model straight in from the movie. Yeah GMK and Shin let me down. I wish they would make a Millenium one.
>>6357297
the 2014 looks nice, but the strange paint and the soft sculpt ruins it for me
Old thread here: >>6274794
>>6356929
wow thats a lot of megaman toys
>>6356929
Playing megaman battle network now
Fuck this game is hard
>>6359996
the first one is annoying
Do you guys prefer photo reviews of toys with descriptions on it or video reviews?
Personally I prefer photo reviews, although they are rarer.
>>6356197
I prefer both, Video demonstration going over points of articulation, key features, paint application, durability etc. Then at the end, show photos.
>>6356197
And to some degree, it's easier to fake photos vs a real time video demonstration
>>6356197
I prefer photos especially if the review knows what hes doing. Mainly because photos are easier to consume and aren't full of fluff like most video reviews. Also video quality limits usually fuck with shit like colour accuracy and detail. Been wanting to do my own photo review blog but don't know the best platform so I've just been making mediocre imgur galleries.
>getting bionicle collection back in few days
>Post your fav set from G1
>I hate you G2
Bumping this because G1
>>6352107
Geewun bonkles were such a piecey mess back then.
>>6352271
G2 seemed almost "childish" in appearance. Big blocky peices and printed on graphics. Shoulda left that in HereHo Factree
Not even trying to meme here.
But what do think of Toy Story 2's portrayal of collector culture? It never really bothered me, but for anyone who was old enough when it came out, what did you think?
>>6351498
I don't think it really reflects the majority of /toy/, who mostly collect new figures or releases less than a decade old. Also the focus here is very much on collector-oriented things like mecha toys/chogokin, higher-end action figures, imports, licensed items, etc.
For what it's worth I think TS2's depiction of the old-school toy/nostalgia collector is pretty on the money.
>>6351498
It's not like most collectors are selling off some kid's beloved toys.
And when I sell my stuff on eBay, I'm most likely passing the toy onto someone who will appreciate it more than I do, so it's not really something I need to feel guilty for.
>>6351498
The antique toy scene and modern toy scene are pretty much completely different. The antique scene pretty much takes care of and collects those toys as, well, antiques.
>those feels when i'm not allowed to collect golliwog dolls anymore
I miss them.
>tfw shipping to your country is double the shipping for the civilized world
I'm Canadian and it's still retarded.
I have to search around for hours and go to conversions just to see if I'm getting fucked. And Amazon.com is so fucking much better than .ca
>>6350125
Where do you live, anon?
>>6350143
yeah i try not to even look at it. Too painful.

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