I bought this stupid DIY dunny at comic con 2 years ago and had some artist that im not even familiar with customize it. I only spent like $20, but its just sat in my closet ever since then. I looked at like a year ago and noticed that the sharpie the dude used had bled into the vinyl a lot. I threw it away today.

Also every thing marvel. Not that they are bad toys, they just were not right for me.

trade it?
i have some RDs i wouldn't mind trading for it.

GFF Z Gundam.

Hell, all my GFF/Zeonagraphy are let downs, but Z hit me the hardest.

I should have just bought the gunpla, at least then it wouldn't look as rediculous with its Katoki porportions and would have an excuse to fall aparrt if I glance angrily at it from across the room or a breeze makes it combust.

No, i want him as a constant reminder of not buying stuff until i see in-hand pictures.

>>4524421
Yeah, that looks like the standard revoltech stand. They suck.

Everything.

>>4524421
Yeah, but beisdes that I think it's a great figure. I can always get a different stand anyway, but I really do wish Revoltech would improve their stands.

Just things I regret not buying when they were cheap.

Nothing so far.

I disliked my Tomoko nendoroid shortly after I got it because I bought it without thinking (it's my only impulse purchase) I even wrote a note that said "constant reminder not to buy shit" and put it next to her on display.

I really like her now though, I like having her my collection. It's also a reminder to not make any more impulse purchases.

>>4524425
Me too. I went thpugh 2 p-bodies before i got one i thought would hold up. But as soon as i moved his leg the entire slab of plastic the legs were on snapped off. A lot of joints were glued in place. Biggest regret ever.

PAK Crisis Core Cloud

Wasn't into action figures at that point, I had no idea what I walked into

>>4524269
I bought an escort once, but I have no /toy related regrets. Maybe that's why. After you get stds from a hooker nothing will ever feel that bad again.

>>4524403
From what I've heard, the paint and sculpt are decent but the articulation is a little lacking. Then again, the Revo's articulation is complete bullshit anyways, so I'm not sure it's that big of a difference.

>>4524403
not that guy, but i have that. stands up pretty well and the claw thing is cool. all it needs is swivel ankles and its be perfect

SH Figuarts Tsunashi Takuto

>>4524425
I just got Atlas today, and ho-lee shit, do I regret it. Are the TF2 figs any better?

>>4524269
Every black series figure. Subpar articulation that looks weird when posed. Who the fuck thought the necks were a good idea when they started doing them on MLs? Such limited articulation that looks goofy from the side. Just do a double balljoint you fucking retards.

Figma Jimmy Neutron

>>4524425
Honestly, these are the only things I can say I regret buying in the last few years.

added to these guys deluxe generations windblade.

The thing I regret buying most was a double ended, rotating, flesh colored dildo with real looking veins. It hurt my ass when I put it in. :(

>>4524615
Go back to /b/

>>4524577
Nah. They're fragile and most of the joints come stuck badly.

>>4524745
agreed. so far the best TF2 guy is the engie.

>>4524269
not Raiden

>>4524269
What did you not like about revo Raiden?
I impulse bought one and it was my first revo, of course the first few days were nothing but frustration with the stupid joints but after taking my time with it I learnt to pose it and it looks awesome 99% of the time

>>4525309
I wish more people would do this and realize ratchet joints are not as bad as they think.

Strength figma (tv ver)

I love the design but it's impossible to pose.
I should have gone with the original figma instead

I know it's beating a dead horse at this point, but every single PAK I ever bought. I was so excited at first, then disappointed when I opened them, and that slowly slid downhill over time into resentment. I actually probably wouldn't hate them as much if they weren't so expensive, it's a double slap in the face when you get a bad toy AND it cost a lot.

>>4525374
How so?

>>4524421
Ugh yeah I bought Thunderbird 2 and the stand is totally and completely useless. It does come with legs to balance on though.

>>4524269
I kinda regret buying the first few, glossy Revoltechs. I left them on display, then realized that my room was too hot, too humid and too sunshiny for them. All of them became goey with plasticizers leaking.

I bought Jazzware Adventure figure toys once...they look like Mexican bootlegs. But at least Mexican bootlegs are amusing.

Damn Figma Indiana Jones.

>>4525498
Any clue how to clean that shit off?

>>4525645
You can wash em, but it'll just happen again. There's no way to permanently stop it as far as I know.

>>4524351

So do you regret buying a BOOMAAA or no?

>>4525606
I pretty much regret the Figma Avengers. They're probably still the best looking toys of the characters, but they're a bit of a let down considering how incredibly expensive they were. Incredibly loose joints, mushy faces and they're not even correctly in scale with one another.

They look fine displayed properly, but knowing the SHF's are coming, which will probably look better, be better to pose AND be cheaper...

>>4525667
The Figmas don't look great facially, but I have even less faith in Bandai.

Their face sculpts have improved a lot with recent releases, the Injustice stuff looks incredible. I almost hope they go with similar looking stylised faces for the Avengers though, instead of trying to nail the realistic look. Either way, they shouldn't look as mushy and undefined as the Figma's.

Revoltech Alucard.

Worst piece of shit I've ever bought.

>>4525645
You can actually rub/peel it off. Some parts will suffer discoloration.

This shit right here. Sold it and never regret it even after the slight surge of popularity that was caused by the live action movies. Thank god i didnt buy the Kenshin version too. I hope someone do better Rurouni Kenshin figures in the future.

>>4525489

3 different stands and heavy as fuck arms.

I thought of all the cool poses I would do with it while I waited for it in the mail. I couldn't do any of them.

The figure still looks nice though

i regret buying some halo figures i got. joints were complete shit, i couldnt even see a kid playing with them because they were either really hard to move or so loose they could easily be broken. i ended up selling them. the new halo 4 figures are great, though! they have joints similar to revoltechs! its awesome! they just look ugly as all hell

also not really regret but was really underwhelmed by the PAK cloud with the hardy daytona. really nice detail on the bike, i almost wanted to keep it just for the bike but i ended up selling them off and made a small profit off of it. the guy i sold it to was a vendor at the con i was selling it at (i was in a flea market selling it) also and i knew he was just going to put it on his shelf and sell it for what it goes for on ebay. its been a year now and he's still trying to get $130 for the fucking thing. used.

what an asshole.

>>4524374

The fucking irony.

>>4526121
So the Halo 4 figures are pretty okay? There's a Master Chief at my local Walgreens I've been thinking about buying just because, but I didn't want to get him if I was going to end up not liking him.

>>4525927
I got the white Raiden and mini Solid Snake too. Boy do I sure regret it for the price of all of them I could have gotten a Tomorrow King I would have enjoyed much more.

Nothing on this guy worked, his nosecone not once did a thing the right way, the les were the floppiest things fucking ever, and then the fuckingarms?
man fuck this toy

Marvel Legends Black Cat.
She can't stand for shit, and she looks like a miniature sex doll. I got caught up in the hype and bought her partly because she's been so scarce on the pegs, but now that I have the toy, I'd be embarrassed for anyone to see her in my home.

>>4526542
I bought one during my brief affair with Transformers. Had it for one night before it went back to the store it was just so fucking flimsy and awful.

>>4526542

God, yeah, this. I remember opening up Springer and thinking it was the best Voyager I'd ever seen...and then opening up Blitzwing and being just completely dumbfounded with how the same team produced something so utterly shit in the exact same wave.

>>4526562
I'd blame it on being too ambitious with the multi-head gimmick, but the arms were just bad design all around.

I spent thirty dollars for a new head and shoulder clips, and now he is my Decepticon leader.

>>4526567
I spent 30 minutes to fix him and he is my second favorite triple changer.

My Super Robot Chogokins. I love having a Shin Getter and Mazinkaiser to oggle at but the diecast makes them impossible to pose. The leg joints stand no chance against the weight of the metal.

>>4525720
I bought both from HLJ about three years ago, the one pictured wrist broke upon unboxing. I sold Kenshin (red) a few months later for fear of the same thing happening. I think the figure is fine, just the stick loops attached to the hand are very fragile, which made me fearful of purchasing another Revoltech for the next couple years.

159KB, 1046x700px

>>4526744
I can't speak for Mazinkaiser, as I don't own him, but at least on Shin Getter, the way the hip joints are made simply seems to be rather loose. And mind you, they're not actually "loose," like the figure has no problem standing or posing, it just can't support the weight of the legs in kicking poses and shit.

BUT--my real point is, I have a bunch of other SRCs that can support their weight just fine despite having loads of leg diecast. For example, SRC Dekaranger Robo, Alteisen, and Gurren Lagann. All of them have tight and solid hips and knees and ankles that can hold leg poses just fine. All three have prominent amounts of diecast in their leg/shin areas. In fact, the Alteisen probably has the chunkiest diecast pieces of all, and its hips can support them just fine, even in kicking poses.

I think it's just based on the particular design. Unfortunate that you got some of the loose-hipped variety, but just letting you know, the entire line isn't like that.

>>4526800
The vast majority of Revos don't even use that hand design though. Most either use 6mm or 4mm Revolver joints.

File: command.jpg (224KB, 1600x1200px) Image search: [Google]

224KB, 1600x1200px

Recently? This.

The Command Patroller is.... well, it doesn't suck. It's pretty neat and generic enough you could use it with lots of things. They also tend to cost fairly little, factoring a good chunk of the cost goes into postage. There's not a huge demand for them

The major downside though is that it's HUGE. It's not USS Flagg huge, but it's a 2' long chunk of plastic that's more than 1' wide and about 1' tall. This is why I'm less than thrilled- I barely have display room, and it's far too big, heavy and chunky just to take down off the shelf and play around with it. It's also a bit hollow and simple in terms of gimmicks since it is mostly just a big piece of white plastic with some wheels attached. I suppose you could use the empty back compartment to add in a motor but you'd need a powerful motor to drive this thing. It'd also be a bit nicer if the driver robot wasn't totally submerged inside the front compartment.

I actually just sold mine off, recouped what I paid though as I got it cheap to start with.

>>4524346
this figure is good for one custom

>>4524425
i bought the NECA 24-inch long godzilla 2014 and i kinda regret it

Figma Pit and Dark Pit
Figma Roger Smith and Dorothy
SH Figuarts Mario
Revoltech Evo Evangelion
Revoltech Woody and Buzz
PAK Cyborg Ninja

Those all come to mind, but fortunately I was able to resell them and pretty much break even in the end. Figma Pit, Figma Dark Pit, and cyborg ninja were disappoints given their hype/price. I generally like Revoltech releases but I quickly replaced the Revoltech Eva stuff with the vastly superior RD versions. Also Woody and Buzz are just too small and overpriced for their size. /end blog

>>4526808
Not true for all revos. Snake and Raiden have peg hands just like Kenshin. Revo mini snake and cyborg ninja have the same peg hands as well. If anything the newer revos may be exclusively this now, although you are right about 4mm and 6mm bring standard some time ago.

figma Mari
figma Miyafuji

I bought them because it would have made the shipping cost worth it. I still have both sealed in box... just not sure what to do with them.

Motoko Kusanagi VMF

Bought it from an American-based site (kirinhobby) and they sent me one with a cracked rib. They refused the return I requested and its in the box because I'm so worried about breaking it more.

>>4529183
Well, note that I said "most," not "all." And I would guess that the Mini line is going with that wrist style largely because it's the best compromise of articulation and compactness for a small scale figure.

>>4524271
I'm looking into buying an iron man figure. what's wrong with the figma?

>>4524367
can you post photos?

>>4529255
It's an okay figure. Great paint work and mold. Just not worth the high price.

>>4525689
THIS. Holy shit, fuck that thing.

>>4526805
I have Mazinger Z, Great Mazinger, Mazinkaiser and Shin Getter-1 and they ALL have loose hips.

>>4524269
I've got 3.

Figma Strength TV Animation Version. The Robot Hands are too fucking heavy to do anything with and are a bitch and a half to pose.

NECA Coyote Tango. it's probably the worst of the jaegers, competing with Striker Eureka. It's top heavy and the articulation is limited.

Blaze Raven Robot Damashii. The lack of accessories didn't bother me nearly as much as the completely shit balance. Aside from Figma Strength, I've never seen a figure that needed a stand so badly to pose.

>>4529361
I think SRCs are generally designed to be posed with both their feet on the ground.

I'm quite wary about propping up figures with diecast-heavy legs after reading about that Max Factory Genesic GaoGaiGar design flaw.

Dark Pit is just a big ole slutty faggot with a loose hole so his goddamn torso falls apart all the time I am so pissed I tried tissues, all the nail polish and fuck you dark pit

Not mine but look for non-studio pictures.

The color is muted for one, it poses like poo, it cant stand up (which is weird because i have revoltechs and ive never had this problem), the flaps in his hands fall off if a butterfly flaps its wings in venezuela, the hands dont stay in for some reason, i dont know know what else to tell you....

for 20 dlls, its an OK figure, if you can get him cheap go for it, if not stay away.

>>4529542
Sculpt and quality control mainly. The design is way off; Blade shouldn't have high heels. And the hideous pearl coating.

This big bastard, he's not much more than a solid chunk of diecast. I can live with most of his flaws, but I'm still torn up on how they split the missile and bazooka gimmicks over two figures, like hell I'm buying a second one just for a gun.
Maybe Bandai will revive that SRC someday...

Anyway, I bought a bunch of Haruhi figmas because they were dirt cheap. They don't really do much since they're super early releases. I didn't even buy all of the cast, just Haruhi, Mikuru and both Tsuruyas.

Maybe they'd be more fun if I had a Nagato as well. I don't know.

I'm not OP obviously, but just so you know, the majority of people loved this figure. I've only seen a handful of folks who didn't like it, and it usually came down to:

- Didn't like Revolver joints
- Didn't like stylized facesculpt
- OHSHIT I DROPPED HIS EARS AND LOST THEM

I love him, personally. He's a great figure with a nice dynamic look to him and a huge range of movement. Just be careful with the sides of his mask ("ears") as they fall off easily and are small pieces so they're easy to lose.

I think he's a really good figure, my only gripes with him are that the joints are all really loose on mine and it's hard to get him to stand.

Ironhide was a mess. I like the mold itself, and it feels like they at least stepped things up with Ratchet, but the red van was a nightmare. The blue face issue aside, the paint they used on his upper half got sticky and just sort of sloughed off at room temperature.

I love the toy, but those arms, man...

Also, there's a MAFEX bat pod coming out eventually that I'm vaguely interested in. I never got the Mattel one, and it goes for 80+ bucks on the aftermarket these days anyways, so I don't see why I shouldn't go for the new one instead. I really like how their Catwoman looks, too.

Revoltech mini Asuka
Foot hole won't even fit on the stand and the hair makes it impossible for the head to stay on unless she looks directly at the fucking floor.
It was only like 3 bucks though.

Figma Samus

those fucking shitty hip joints man

>>4526121
Goddamn, I remember being a young teen that was really into the Halo story and gettign so excited when I got my figure of Brute Chieftain. Its wrists snapped as soon as I tried to turn them and the rest broke in the same way. I was so mad. At least the couple spartans I got were okay. Lost two of them in the move and the Master Chief one broke though. Feels bad.

>>4524421
I hate that I missed this guy and the other monster hunter revos.

Mandarake had a bunch of Nanoha figmas on sale for like 1200 yen, and I bought one.
I didn't pay attention, and I guess I selected Strikers Nanoha, when I intended to buy one of the movie Nanohas.

>Revoltech
>loose joints
Eh? That's the very thing the joints are engineered to guard against.

If you mean the swivels are loose, a little bit of Pledge in the holes will fix that. Also, make sure the joints are firmly pushed in all the way. I had a Revo once that seemed like it had really loose hips, and then I found out they weren't fully pushed in. I did that and then it was perfectly fine.

>>4537815

Yeah, I meant the swivels mostly. The smaller joints used in the ankles are very loose though and is the main cause for him not being able to stand up.

>>4537821
Replace em then. Revolver joints are sold in small packs, just buy the right size and pop em in there. Of course, you might not care enough to do so, but just sayin', there's ways to fix it. In fact, I think Casting Cave sells single Revolver joints, so you don't even need to buy a whole pack.
