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

mitsuha when?
Haven't heard any news of New toys or anything for that matter.
Is it finally over?
>>6161600
>mass production 'prototype' toys
I don't get it
I did see them at a walmart west of eugene
>>6161600
No, there are quite a few more coming (check Toywiz's preorder listings). There are at least 2 more waves we know about. Toy Fair is in a couple weeks, we'll get more info from there.
Why is the 'collectible' toy market so saturated with Copy+Paste shit? When did joints and realism stop being cool?
>>6179161
I legitimately thought that your pic was from a parody or spoof. Turns out they are real.
I have no idea, I guess easier to produce? I don't mind no joints sometimes, but the sculpts should at least be different. If you want to sacrifice sculpt, put that energy into something else (paint, articulation, etc.).
>>6179161
those are designer butt plugs, op.
the sex toy spam gets old quick
The casual toy market is probably the main money generator for the toy industry. The after market is big with scalpers and collectors buying multiples but the vinyl collectable market copy/pasting is the sort of uniform collectable that the market was asking for. Tbh over engineered figures with 68 points of articulation aren't that great. You pose it and leave it there, or you move it a couple of times and it's loose as your mother
How do I stop collecting low end shit? I prefer Hot Toys and larger figures, but I always find myself impulse buying hasbro garbage just because it's cheap. I look above my desk and see all this cheap garbage, and although I like some of it, most of it just looks like a huge cluster fuck. I'd like to shrink my collection to only expensive shit, but I just can't stop buying cheap garbage. I really should just sell it all off and never look back. It's a pain in the ass to list 60+ figures though It's detrimental to how I feel about collecting, I think.
Is it because high end stuff takes months to years to come out versus having something before or right after the movie comes out?
For example, I spent $150 on "Force Friday" this year and I regret almost all of it
Does this happen to anyone else?
>>6177763
I've been making the same transition myself.
>Is it because high end stuff takes months to years to come out
This is one of the things I had to struggle with, particularly getting used to the idea of pre-ordering. I still hate it and still tend to want to overpay for released stuff just because I hate waiting. What I usually end up doing is lurking ebay real real hard until something falls through the cracks toward original release price.
To avoid hasbroshit I've stopped looking at toys when i'm in Walmart/Target and I try to avoid the threads here too.
Don't have that issue, but I am a pretty patient person.
You aren't starting out.
You have enough stuff at home to entertain you while waiting for a pre-order to be shipped, so why the rush?
Ask yourself why are you buying toys.
From your text it sounds like you enjoy hitting that buy button more than actually owning things.
Change that approach.
Then you need to start working towards "rather owning one pricey thing I really want versus lots of cheap shit I maybe want a little".
What's the point of owning 10 15$ pieces you don't really want if you could buy that one 150$ piece you really want?
>>6177763
Well get some impulse control and you won't have this issue. Or be impulsive on buying it but sell it on a couple of weeks later instead of building up a collection of cheap ones.

I'm thinking about picking up one just because the wait for more otherwise will be so long.
What do you think? One of these:
-Skapular
-Templar
-Scaphoid
-Volligar
-Ignatius
>>6176033
I'm torn on who to pick up, since I don't have any of the ones they're offering on bbts. Gideon could be cool but I can't stand his face. What's his alt head look like?
>>6176087
Standard bucket helm. But you can lower the visor on his main head. Looks great.

What have you picked up recently? What are you looking forward to?
My SHF Rogue One Stormie and Hover Tank Commander's still waiting to ship. Hope they live up to expectations.
I got two Rogue One troopers.
They have the Mafex beat overall but they're still not perfect. I would've liked them to be a bit taller, and the elbow bend is rather disappointing.
Reviews are in. Mafex has destroyed Figuarts once again.
How can they recover?

Misfire from Triggerhappy.
Bah, I'll still get it and I like the Triggerhappy mold, but I would be happier if it was from the Topspin mold.
Still hoping for full figures of Apeface, Snapdragon, Dreadwind, and/or Spinister at Toy Fair.
For those unfamiliar, "Plamo" is a shortened form of "plastic model." If it's made of plastic, someone can probably help you here.

***Non-Gundam Group Build***
So this is pretty straightforward, build something that isn't Gundam. I literally do not care what it is, if it's not Gundam it counts (and just to get this out of the way, Bandai is fine). I do not require full paint jobs this time either, as I know the vast majority of people here build Bandai and that's it.
This is also not a prize build, but a regular group build.

Due Date: March 1st, 2017.
First for dazzle camo
Given that it appeared in Thunderbolt, do you guys think we'll get a new kit of this fucker? I'm ALMOST desperate enough to buy the ancient one and try to fix it up, but would obviously prefer a modern version...
Does anyone have any of these? It's almost impossible to find pictures or info besides the bare minimum.

>>6169786
Don't know about these specifically, but if they're anything like other Stan Winston figures then they have really good sculpts but very limited articulation.
I have Lucian. The other Anon is pretty spot on about the sculpts and articulation. Would be great if they were more poseable, because it really is nicely detailed and has a nice solid heft to it. Can't really do too much with no elbow or knee articulation.
The ebay prices for these are pretty high and I'm surprised they sell for that much. Seem to recall they were expensive when on the shelf at TRU around 2001-2002.
Still they are nice and if I could find better prices on some now I'd buy them with no regrets.
>>6169786
I have three of them, the uh, ahem, "cute ones" I wanted.
I actually ran into packaged versions of them at a Vintage Stock one year. It was Elias, Vorak, Zephyr and Raze. I don't think they know what they had, because they had them "used" for $15 each.
So I bought them, sold Elias to a friend for cost (which I miiiiildly regretted and ended up eBaying him loose and complete much later), kept Zephyr, and sold off Vorak and Raze because, hey. I then got lucky and won Lucian for a good price a while after I got Elias.
I'll take some pics of the three I have once I get home from work today.
