Holy shit that's awful.

I'm so jaded because I'm a Transformers fan who grew up in the 90s, but I always found more static/basic action figures to be so boring....most of my DBZ, Marvel, DC, Ninja Turtles, etc all ended up being more entertaining to me once I got a hold of a lighter or fireworks, but I never fucked with my Transformers

I would've bought scale models of this in a heartbeat.

I've always wanted a Disney toy line like Marvel Legends, where all the characters scaled with each other and had proper articulation and accessories.

>>93590181
Legitimately because they consider "boys" and "girls" to be two separate markets and they don't want them to overlap or compete with each other. So they go as far as not even including girl characters in "boy" lines

I remember when I was a kid I wanted Invader Zim toys so bad. Not only the characters but that show had so many cool spacechips and vehicles

Motorcity is one of the two shows I came in to see if someone else had brought up. The merchandise for that show would've been so stupidly easy to crank out, but instead Disney threw it under a bus. The entire show screamed "toyetic", could've been a solid franchise, and they just capriciously decided "nah, and now we're going to lock this whole thing in a vault to rot".

>>93591185
And Wander Over Yonder was the other show. So many character designs that would've made for highly collectible bits of plastic.

3D printing will make it so.
In the future, we'll be able to make whatever the fuck we want.
Instead of drawthreads, we'll have modelingthreads.

Can you imagine it?
Thats the future we're destined for.

>>93591820
I never realized how much I want a plush of Sylvia until now...

>>93591925
Nah. If there's one thing that will never stop costing money, it's complex art related ventures. 3D printing might become more popular, but request threads would never turn into modeling threads. 3D modelers (even now) charge upwards of 100 dollars for models, if not significantly more, for amateur stuff. And they literally have no reason not to charge that in the future, if anything they'll charge more if 3D printing gets super popular. Art is one of those things that never really gets cheaper, the best you can hope is that it gets easier, and modeling is one of those where it'll probably never get easy enough to make 3D model creation work done by request.

If anything: If 3D modeling gets big enough in the future that most artists turn over to it instead of traditional art, request threads would probably just die off.

Well, I mean, I hate to bring up the 3D printing topic again, because I was one of the ones shitting on the idea. But if a public model already exists, I mean...I guess it's more likely to be printable in the near future for cheap?

>>93592158
I wouldn't hang on star trek as though that sort of shit is really the future. Scifi inspires the future, it doesn't dictate it. Dreaming something into existence in a 3D printable form is downright impossible. The amount of work that would go into doing things like that is ridiculous to assume anyone would be willing to accept. You'll always need a modeller.

>>93591425
>>93591507
It's worse than that. IIRC, CN didn't even try shopping the brand to different toy companies because the marketing department told them the design wouldn't translate well to an action figure, especially if they wanted to duplicate the combination of the three mains 1:1.

That's right, they didn't even try because it was too hard.

>>93592883
>the design wouldn't translate well to an action figure
It wouldn't, transparent plastic may be the cheapest kind of plastic but it's also the flimsiest.

>>93590920
That's been a thing forever. Toy molds are expensive and women almost always require a different enough body type that they can't just retool another character. If they ship a female action figure at the same rate as the others, it'll pegwarm. If they shortpack them too badly, then it's hard to justify making a mold.

Most toy companies just opt to omit the female character than front the potential losses if they get the balance wrong.
