Name that part not sure what's its off anyone know
>>6051807
It looks like a mounted gun from a 1980s GI Joe or Star Wars vehicle
looks like the mini-gun found on most of the BTR G.I. Joe toys.
what is this ship?
bought it with the little gundam fig on the back
hello, first time on /toy/ so hope this is an ok thread to make. does anyone have experience fixing anything like this? my "FFRIEND" rammed into my desk and knocked over 2/3rds of my figs, canti landed on the floor and this arm peg snapped off. ive tried fixing it with 2 different kinds of super glue, one being a liquid cement for plastic models. didnt work at all. do i need some kind of epoxy? it's such a small delicate moving area/ moves a lot too im just not sure what to do.
id appreciate any help as fuck
Make that fucker buy you a new one.
>>6051284
There's no fixing that. It's probably some soft plastic that won't take to any glues unless you encase the entire joint in the stuff, in which case the thing won't move ever again. It looks like pinning won't even work because the joint is off center.
Your friend is a douchebag, have him compensate you.
I would try contacting the company that makes it or measure it and have it modeled and 3D printed from shapeways or something. It won't be great but it might be good enough.
That peg is fucked. There is no easy way to repair it while retaining the joint's movement.

One of these nine shall become the new Prime of Cybertron. What the fuck does this mean, who are you voting for, and why?
Previous Thread: >>6047778
A lot of these would be good choices squarely because of the clusterfuck of having to somehow make it work in the comics, especially how some of them have already been portrayed.

>Star Saber: Insane

What's your top 3 TR transformers post wave 3?
So Galvatron's mask only works well if you attach Megatron's head to it, ok.
Got the dreaded "give us more money, pls" message for an item 3 days ago. Still hasn't shipped. Now that's two items(one preorder, another a new purchase) that have taken days for them to pack and ship. Also their DP system blows.
It's not like these are cheap figmas on sale or whatever, these are both 10,000 yen+ orders.
oh jesus what the fuck? I've never heard of shit like this before. I'm probably getting this too, my order's been in 'preparation' since last week and it was just SHMA ShinG. not even HLJ is this much of a kike
Fuck Nippon-Yasan. Those guys took my money then "forgot" to ship my package. Then it got "lost in the mail".
I swore I'd never use them again after that.
How long until they disappear like Yokatta?
Post new acquisition. Then prepare for judgement and ridicule.
Then shame and death.
Guess every one is saving their money...

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

Does /toy/ ever buy figures of characters from franchises they know nothing about?
My first /toy/ related purchase as an adult consisted of three Gundam kits despite having never watched any of the shows. They were on clearance and I'd wanted to dabble in building models for a long time.
Yeah but then I learn about it
It's like being a kid all over again, but now I have the Internet to find out what a cool mystery toy is instead of just wondering about it
Yes, quite often. Some of my guys are gateways to get into the source material.
So, are these out yet or what? I haven't seen them locally
I saw them today at my TRU
we got them in at my TRU :) a lot of people seem interested in them though, I've sold a few
>>6048406
are those renderings instead of actual photos?
oy
2016 is almost over with so what figure/figures (any line) really wowed you the most?
SHFSS Double and the entire Robot Damashii A.N.I.M.E line.
Better than that stupid kickstarter elemental bullshit
Honestly didn't buy much this year that actually came out this year.
If I had to choose I guess I would say Figma LBW Link.
RECENT RELEASES:
MAFEX First Order Stormtrooper
MAFEX ROTJ Boba Fett is coming into stock at your import retailer of choice
Toys R Us is currently flooded with hovertank pilots
OUT SOON/IN STORES NOW/YMMV
The Revan wave has been spotted at targets and gamestops, but is still far from saturation
Figuarts Rogue one stuff should be dropping towards the end of December
RECENT ANNOUNCEMENTS:
SHF Chewbacca, and due out in april 2017
SHF Ep. II Anakin, P Bandai exclusive, and out in may 2017. Comes with an even more exclusive-er lightsaber and bonus head if you preorder in time.
OLD THREAD:

>>6039450
I'm about to hit the stores. What are the places where I'll have the best chance of finding Revan in the Bay Area? Toys R Us? Target? Gamestop?
>>6047793
Game Stop, Target, and then TRU in that order.
If you were to find a whole case of the Scarif Stormtroopers and had the money to spare, would you guys keep the whole case to army build or sell them off? (For profit or not, just selling it either way)
Bandai Model thread, I wanna see your troops
Did you fuckin delete the other one?
>>6046993
Mods deleted it. Idk why
>>6046990
My troop.
Got more that I'm working on.
Where is your god now?
Are these new? I honestly have no idea what stuff is available from bkub.
