Whats going on with this thing anyway? Werent we supposed to get this art book with the ks? I know they had delays aka they forgot about it and started working on it a few months ago but its been so long and weve gotten so many boring teases ive forgotten about it.
Now did it actually release and people got it in hand? I never got one.
So I opened 3 of my Covenant of Shadow figures so far, and they're ok. Sir Ignatius is sadly the weakest. His lower body is entirely floppy, and while the legs on the Templar and Volligar could use some tightening they aren't so bad. The paint does seem a tad weaker than what I'm used to from this line. Missing paint on the shield, very some parts not painted all the way through, etc. The regular issue with the weapons. Got Asterionn and Gideon to go, but I'm a little saddened but what I see in the package. Asterionn has the classic nose rubbing against the package and thus has a naked spot on his nose, and Gideon's paints seem quite muddled, especially the scratches on the white. Ah well, quite nice overall. I have quite a few now, but I might have to rethink how many I was going to get from 2.0.
Do you keep any /toy/ on your desk at work?
I work in retail so no. No desk.
I would if I had a desk.
I used too but the cleaner can be quite clumsy at times and stuff has broken before. That's why my desk is now spartan.

I feel like we had a nice thread in the last, so I made a new one.
Old thread:
>>>6171270
Also, what new sets are you excited or looking for?
I'm on the lookout for this Donatello set, the new arctic CoD set, and the CoD paratrooper.
And I hate that the AC line is dead. How did we never get an AC1 troop pack with Altair and Templars? Seriously? I need more knights.

Let's discuss nuggety Disney characters, /toy/. Anybody keep up with these cute collectibles?
The most recent plush releases include the Aristocats set and a limited Valentine's Day edition Mickey and Minnie. I myself got a Berlioz and Toulouse so my Marie wouldn't be lonely.
>>6169700
>The most recent plush releases include the Aristocats
Saw them at the Disney Store. The Aristocats are about a hair more popular than Songs of the South characters to Disney fans so they must be getting desperate for new characters to release. I've said it before. They mostly look like cheap cat toys, but most of them are cute. I look at them and see a $2 or $3 small plush toys. They charge $5.99. That is the main reason that I don't own a single one of them.

Finally, a thread where I too, can act like a neckbearded action figure collector.
But yeah OP, I got the kittens too, they're adorable.
Here's all of my mini tsums atm! Feel free to post collections when you can, I like marveling at other peoples' stuff.
>>6170008
I feel you anon. Even though I love the mini plush, I'm partial to buying the stackable figures. The packs of 3 tsums and the mystery packs are typically on sale around here so I feel like I'm getting more tsum for my dollar. I'll only shell out $5-$6 on my favorite characters.
>>6170028
>This flooding of shit Marvel characters and minor Star Wars characters
I'm kind of tired of this too. They certainly have their place but I don't care about those kinds and I always see them on clearance at some retailers because nobody's really buying them.
If you have anybody you can trust with this kind of thing, perhaps order to their location and give them the money needed to ship to you? It might end up adding up, but just a thought. I kind of want a sub box because they come with so many things, but I can't justify it at the moment.
Hey guys, its me sid! Remember me? well it doesn't matter.. I like to find figures left at the dump and i fix them up and give them new life..!
Awhile back i found this barbie with no legs
in a puddle and i fixed her up real good.. i remember this guy did some fanart of her.. and if he is reading this i wish i gave him more of a thanks!
Here is today's haul at the dump, Toys nobody wanted..mostly girl toys
this thing is cool i guess, but we can make it cooler
any cheap versions of pic related? not willing to pay 1/4 to 1/2 the price of a figure just for a stand
>>6253151
wait never mind I just found out you get 3 with them. still wondering just in case theres any cheaper options
>>6253153
Any cheaper and you're looking at using wire.
>>6253153
The $2 KO versions on aliexpress are really good. They come with all the arm attachments and are just as sturdy.

Are McFarlane toys any good these days? I saw this in my feed today and as a Destiny player I really want it.
>>6250037
they're sculpt is usually really good, paint is good too but they can't do articulation for shit. the color tops things they are putting out now are just statues and their Walking Dead stuff just sucks. their Halo stuff was hit or miss. these Destiny figures look good but I don't know anything about the figures so I don't haven an opinion. if they are 6 inch scale and are at least on the same level as NECA in terms of articulation they should be pretty good.
>>6250037
I will be getting the three 6 inch, hope they are like the last round of halo reach / 5 figs I had.
They're good, but lacking in articulation.
The upcoming figures seem to have more articulation than the current McStatues, so they'll probably be fun to play with
