So can someone give me an explanation to the Barbie canon?
She has basically every career that exists in the modern world, which seems impossible for someone presumably in their 20s. How does she have every career? That makes no sense. Is it CHIM?
Is Ken her canon boyfriend? Does she have family members? What sort of conflicts are there? What's their backstory like? What interesting concepts does the setting have?
Tell me all about the Barbie lore.
>>6070587
Much like St. Elsewhere, every career and adventure Barbie has had is really just day dreams of an Austistic child
>>6070587
>In her 20s
She was marketed as a 'Teenage fashion model' doll and attends high school so she is 16-18 years old.
Ken is her boyfriend. She is also has best friends Midge, Summer, Nikki, Theresa, Raquelle and Ryan. Conflicts are that Barbie and Raquelle don't get on well and neither do Ken and Ryan as Ryan has a thing for Barbie too.
Barbie has three sisters, Skipper, Stacie and Chelsea. She has more siblings but they seem to have been retconned.
Barbie is from Willows, Wisconsin but moved to Malibu where her Dreamhouse is located.
She has three pets, a horse, a cat and a dog.
And yes, has had every career going to show girls can do and be anything.
Anything else?

>she is 16-18 years old
That makes all those careers even more implausible!
Is there a deepest lore explanation?
Anyone pick this guy up yet? I'm on the fence and would like to see some size comparisons.
I've got him, he's pretty fun. If you're a fan of the character there's no reason not to get him at this point.
No pics from me, but there is an anon here who has some of him and Sentinel's Getter.
He's alright but the metal pins and bolts for joints are ugly as fuck.
Especially the ones in the shoulders (that they neatly covered in that image) look like someone lost the actual beige plastic shafts during assembly and tried to find something as substitutes.
Fuck, I've spent a lot of money on toys and a lot of the money spent was on franchises I don't even care about, what have you done to me /toy/!
Which franchises do you not care about?
>>6070338
I never should have bought a Hot Toys figure, because it's like I tasted crack for the first time it's fucking incredible. But now all I can think about is buying more, but they're so fucking expensive.
When someone asks me how much this one Deadpool figure cost me and I say around $200 I feel sick because that's a lot of fucking money for a toy.
>>6070338
Since I've come here acouple years ago I got into buyfagging on a level I was never at before. Probably because of all the reference this board provides.
Still I hope I never get as bad as some of you guys with your $300-500+ monthly orders
And if so, is it still available anywhere?
>>6069606
You mean this guy right here?
Yea don't bother. It's Chinese knockoff shit.
>>6069606
Yes, I had that as a kid,back in 1998-2000 or so. In New Jersey, there'd be a string of shops in Union City owned by Asians with a ton of bootleg ranger/sentai figures. I'm sure these where available elsewhere, of course. There where some Jetman STD KO toys I remember having, and lines as late as Abarenger/Dino Thunder, at least. Not sure where you'd find them nowadays.
Quality is OK, would probably hold up better in adult hands than having to be played with and put in a toy box every day. The Dragonzord drill tail and sword handle are notable fragile, and the first to go. The gears and things holding the limbs also eventually wear out. If you have the real version, a lot of it is interchangeable so you can use it to substitute for real zords(or display Mega Dragonzord and Dragonzord at the same time. Fun set overall.
>>6069613
But I am interested in chinese knockoff shit, that's why I asked.
Can they still be found or are they from a run from years ago?
I'm really late on the posting of this I have been trying to post it for a while now but I have been having some computer issues.
but this is my most recent Haul and is pretty much everything that I picked up this past November and is the last Haul before Christmas
(which is next week, I can't believe it)
How many of those are you going to cum on

Why would anyone care it took you a while to post a bad pic of your garbage figures?
This nigger right chere.
Idgafawks what it is, robot damashii, SoC, SRC, plamo, gashapon.... please someone!!,
>>6066934
I'll settle for Re-Action, but no fucking Pops! please.
Also, Jackie Chan. Any live action character of his, young, old, whatever.
Wouldn't mind a decent Sinatra collector's figure either. They have a doll or two but nothing too appealing.
--- Discuss and share restoration technique documentation and anecdotes? ---
I've recently bought a Kenner brand, '84 Ecto-1, hoping to restore it's colors through the Peroxide method and baking soda scrub for the blue tinted plastic windows.
Anyone tried either of these methods before and how long their effect last?
>>6066852
I just used white paint, because England is shitty and I cannot be fucked to fart around finding all the stuff to do it.
Its a display princess, so its held up fine enough.
Tip though, the plastic body is very fucking thing and very fucking wobbly. the rear "lights" act as a clip, so you have to lift and push it back while swearing.
>>6066969
I'm burger land
What makes U.K. Hard to get that stuff?
>>6066852
I've tried the hydrogen peroxide on parts of an old g1 jetfire. The result was slight but noticeable. Can't really say how long it lasts since I sold him off a while ago.
To get the best results, have the dish with the parts and peroxide in direct sunlight. also if you can get your hands on it, finding stronger peroxide is better, not the over the counter drugstore stuff.
Digimon toy thread. Post your collection!
>>6063112
boy, aren't those digimon devices hella expensive?
I should have bought one when I was a kid.
>>6063112
All i have is D-Arts Dukemon and Omegamon.
I bought the Applidrive, still waiting for that to come.
>>6063112
>TFW your favorite digimon will NEVER get a figure released
What's her name, /toy/?
Well, I had avoided the funko shit until now. They just got me, man, the just got my ass.
>>6062802
Honestly, it works for this sort of thing. And if more of their figures had bent / proposed limbs I'd actually buy them. More like the old Predator or He-man toys than the awful straight limbed way they've been doing.
>>6062907
Yeah, it's the only reason i'll get it. If it was the reaction crap, no deal. Hopefully it will scale with motu.
>>6062802
At least funko does a better job than super7.
I really love the tmnt playmate pose, too bad it's from a shitty sitcom
What character does most of /toy/ have in common? I highly doubt there are very many people that post here that don't own at least 1 Optimus Prime.
>>6062592
I don't.
>>6062592
I don't either
>>6062592
Transformers are shitty toys for kids.
Didn't see a thread to post this in, so, what's the best Dr doom figure out there?
ask the Marvel General asshole.
Best one is Toy Biz's
There's a ton of character in the sculpt.
I'm partial to the MU FF Dr Doom though, for obvious reasons.

hype for Mechagodzilla 1 tho
Anyone have recommendations of other cryptid,monster,creature figures? Preferably those on par with creatureplica
>>6056869
MythicArticulations on Etsy does some pretty cool looking cryptic stuff but it's just the skeletons. I think they're pretty neat looking. Pic unrelated.
>>6056869
whatever happened to that line?
>>6057002
They got released, they're great. Guess it's just taking their sweet time to announce series 2 or something.
Since it looks like CCBS is mostly dead for the immediate future, how about one more of these for the road?
