I'm looking for miniature American cars (or cars sold in America) for my model train layout. I looked online, but I'm only finding cars found in Europe or cars from the 50s and 60s.
What scale?
>>6505098
I'm new to the whole thing, so I'm not sure, but here is a nail clipper to scale
>>6505309
I think he's referring to your train's scale.
Is there any hope we will get some good quality toys of the dragons from Game of Thrones?
>>6504293
Technically thats a wyvern. Dragons have 4 legs + wings. Wyverns have the wings connected to the front legs.
Also HBO seems hell bent on throwing away money by not licensing their properties for collectibles beyond cheap cups and book ends.
>>6504295
>Why would you get good quality anything from Game of Thrones?
Oh look its one of those "anything popular sucks" people. How original.
>>6505168
>Technically thats a wyvern
Technically artists all over the world from the middle ages up until today don't give a shit about Gygax D&D definitions.
Dragons in Norse mythos come from worms anyway.

Why ask questions that you already know the answer to?
You'll get statues and that's it
GoT is an "adult" show and most people think all adults want Funkos and statueshit
There was a 7 inch Line and 3.75 line but they have hardly any effort

Still one of the best ones because of that fucking Ghost Rider.

>>6502511
It's the surprisingly decent PAK vs an ancient McFarlane staction figure. Not much competition.
just got this huge shiny BBC for $50 at a con yesterday and I'm amazed
Does Gentle Giant still make these? I heard a lot more were planned but cancelled.
What are some other large scale soft vinyl super hero toys besides GG or the Medicom sofubi series??
wow

Hey what are the odds that anyone has an S.H.Figuarts Bruce Lee: Tracksuit/Game of Death version and a Marvel Legends Iron Fist?
If you fit this criteria I would greatly appreciate it if you could post a pic of them side by side and if you could a pic of Iron Fist's head on Bruce's body.
I would greatly appreciate it!
Dunno if you're still there anon, but here
>>6500080
Danny's head isn't really compatible with SHF Bruce's neck, you'd have to do a bit of work to keep it on with some space so he doesn't look off.
>>6500764
Man Bruce is such a good fig.
Macross Thread
Show me your collection please
>>6499046
Forget macross, where did you get that nausicaa?
Just name what you wish, we want to hear what you guys wish Tamashii should make/do, but here's the catch: It should be something the other company doesn't make in the said license (See example below).
Because Descendants 2 is popular right now on some Young Adults who saw it (Based on my Tumblr observation), and since Hasbro only made dolls of the cast so far (And not Action Figures), I would wish for Tamashii to make SH Figuarts of Descendants 2 characters.
Now, let's hear what you got!
>>6494469
fuck that. maybe the original villains would be cool but fuck that shitty OC cosplay crap
Man that's gay.
I love Descendants and their Hasbro dolls are probably my favorite american doll line right now, but even I know that would be a stupid idea. Descendants is popular but not THAT popular (like MCU for example) therefore they won't make a huge profit from it. Big part of Descendants' audience are little kids from 5 to 12 years old, so they parents won't buy an expensive japanese action figure for them to break it. Then all those "tumblr young adults" can't even support Barbie's fat fashionistas as they love to defend them but still won't buy them and let them sit on shelves.
I'm really happy with the dolls, they fit them better.
Is anyone into collecting them? I'm thinking of starting because they're [spoiler]cute[/spoiler] and also because of the doll house furniture and tiny accessories factor. I really like the old-timey aesthetic too.
Are they as detailed irl as they seem? Are the Japanese and US products the same quality, just repackaged?
Best place to buy them?
I believe they are the same thing, just called Calico Critters in the US. They really are as cute and detailed IRL as they look in pictures.
Funny you started this thread, I just noticed yesterday my local wal-mart has started carrying them, which is weird because I've never seen them at a wal-mart before.
I heard you can use the furniture for 1:18 figures...
>>6493315
If you like/collect nendoroids/cu-poches, the stuff from Sylvanian Families works well with them
There is this gallery that have been posten in the related toyline threads where you can see nendos and poches using furniture form this line

>>6493591
I have never see 1/18 figs with furniture, but I believe that food items can work with them
Old toy identification thread
Kamen rider fig from early 90s, i think it had a motorcycle or car that went with it. Anyone know what the vehicle was?
That's Black RX, so the bike would probably be the Acrobatter. He did have a car called Ridoron, as well. I'd guess this guy was on the bike given his position.
I don't want to start a new thread for this, but can anyone tell me what this actually is?
The box is far too thin for it to be a figure. Is it just artwork on plastic? I'm debating going back to the store tonight to just buy it.

But froggy mecha are the best! haha

>How the fuck did you get that for $14?
Christmas day a few years ago, I was browsing ebay while waiting for people to get ready to go out for breakfast.
While searching RDs, I noticed a Night Combat Eva that was ending in like 10 minutes but had only been bid up to $8.00. Figured I'd give it a shot, put in my bid which took it up to $14, no one else bid, and that's how I got it for $14, haha.
Pretty ridiculously lucky for sure.
>>6482192
>>6483636
It really does look good, I'll probably end up getting it just for the hell of it, dangit. Grats on the Zaku Cannon! Looks so awesome with the Desert Zaku. Got another week or so til mine gets here.

Holy crap, good eye anons. While I kinda like grey elbow joints, the grey hip joints peeking out from under RX-78's skirt were something I nitpicked about. Dang, I kinda want that one now, haha.

I firmly believe ANIME is eventually going to expand into the OVAs. I mean an ANIME Ground Gundam would be like printing money, especially if they included enough accessories to configure it into unique loadouts and tossed in a GM head.

Wasn't a DX Chogokin YF-19 displayed at that one no-pictures Tamashii Nations show last year? The show where people first saw the Hi-Metal VF-2 (and a VF-0, I think?), but the only pic we had of it was one of the entire Hi-Metal display area from far away.
Actually, it may have been a Hi-Metal YF-19 now that I think about it. I just remember someone who attended the show saying they saw a YF-19 being displayed.
I have these since I was a children, but I can't remember the name of the brand. Any help?
>>6489938
Another pic.
Oh shit, I used to have these too. Where are you from anon?
>>6490345
México, but maybe this toy was bought in USA. It was a christmas gift, so I am not sure.
Took the dive into 1:6 this year with pic related.
The hair in the final product looks fucking ridiculous, like a Ken Doll. Nothing like the actual character or promotional pictures. The store exclusive helmet was not show accurate and way too narrow and odd looking.
The figure itself was essentially not posable and honestly looked very silly in most poses. A very very disappointing purchase, I thankfully at least made a profit reselling.
Thoughts on THREEZERO? Thoughts on 1:6? Thoughts on "real" hair vs Sculpted hair on figures?
ashley wood is a hack and 3a is lame
real hair is fucking garbage, and while I don't think cloth clothing is particularly horrible, sculpted clothes are still better
>>6485715
I've seen rooted hair done well on custom heads (there are a couple of really good TDK Joker out there with real hair), but companies of course cut corners there and it ends up looking like on OPs pic.
It does push it more towards doll than figure though, same for clothing made of cloth, which I sometimes get the feeling is the real issue people have with it.
Will you buy it?
I've been disappointed with every Marvel Legend I've ever bought
>>6479848
Then you lead a disappointing life.
>>6479845
I will say however that this figure will be shit, and the fact it comes with more accessories than others who need them pisses me off.
