New to the S.A.S. scene, how much are these each on average?

>>6031495
The non-exclusives are 3 to 6k yen or so.

The WF ones or colors that are a bit less readily available, or some other rare releases like Okuyasu are 8k to 13-14k yen.

Pretty much because most (not all, but most) Western stuff now are made to look "real" by way of turning them into mundane everyday objects. Superhero suits are now glorified super hi-tech jogging suits or faux-military/special forces outfit with Oakley glasses to replace cowls and masks.

Forget even original IPs, I mean Harry Potter / Fantastic Beasts is basically... a bespoke suits catalog with people pretend-playing Pokemon with some made-up animals that look like they came from some tacky souvenir shop, even if the vfx rendering is actually pretty good.

And as for the classics... We're just slowly getting edgy redesigns of them... It's hard when the source material themselves aren't exactly surviving the "modern taste". I mean, most people here are excited for either NECA's TMNT from the original comic or the upcoming bigger scaled ones from the 80's movie or Bandai's SHF of the old 90's cartoon... Not the shit new movie ones... And for once, Power Ranger fans in the toku boards can even agree with sentai fans that the new PR movie has shit designs...

It's really more like Western toy companies reaching deep to do figures of IPs they like.

Last US figure I'm interested in was actually Four Horsemen's non-IP fantasy line. The last American toy I've ever bought was Colossus from the ToyBiz Marvel Legends and the Hasbro Astonishing X-Men ver Wolverine from... like maybe 5 years ago..?

I think you missed his point

He meant the western GENRE (cowboys, old wild wild west) not western hemisphere.

He did miss it, but I allow it because it was a good point and generally well-written and not shitposting.

Tomica Plarail's still popular with kids and adults.

>>6027665
Gross

>>6027694
I actually kinda like it, but I can't figure out why it exists

>>6027665
All of all the possible patterns to put on a stormtrooper that's definitely one of the more baffling ones.

>>6027362
Though aware of their faults I still think fondly of them
Never did get that Frieza I would always check out at the comic shop though

>>6027362
they had decent sculpts, it's just that as actual toys they were almost universally awful due to having pretty much no articulation, and they didn't really make good statues either as they have boring poses

>>6027429

yeah I know what you mean but as a kid I enjoyed playing with them a lot. Just made them fly around and beat the everliving shit out of each other.


SSJ Goku is still awesome.

I also liked SSJ Trunks. (the one with the freezer-style/saiyajin uniform)

With Headpool!

>>6027250
That looks terrible. Look at those fucking stick arms wtf

>>6027250
can already tell she holds katanas just as well as MS DP.

>>6023865
i personally like the mini revo because there were other figures i wanted in the line. so far this is the only MGS figure in the line. (vulkanlung or whatever the fuck it is)

that being said, its the only big boss with the mgsV sneaking suit. i own both, looking to sell this one desu

>>6023865
I like mine a lot, lots of good accessories and articulation. As much of a mess that MGSV was, it's still my favorite video game series and Venom was cool (especially design wise) so I had to have it.

My only complaint is that the legs are a bit tricky to pose and that his real eye kind of looks like it's always wide open. I saw some tutorial where you can use heat to make the eye smaller and it looked better but I haven't done it yet myself.

>>6023865
Yea. Get a figma Snake to go with it too.

You forgot the WWE Turtles. speaking of which, are we even getting more toys of to 2013 series?

>>6011067
The WWE figures should be hitting Walmart some time in November.

Tbh I'm not super up on the Playmates line. The most notable figure to come out recently is Human Karai. There seems to be a lull in the output now that the movie hype has died down but that will most likely change once Season 5 of the Nick series gets going. I can't wait for the new Usagi figure (figures?).

>>6011103
What are the chances those can be bought on the website? My grandmother is apparently trying to find them for my nephew and I can't find SHIT on their website (and she reportedly only found one at the store- the Undertaker Don)

the last one died after a couple of days

One day i'm gonna make that Crab Nicholson

I had a lot of knights, and Vikings when I was a kid.

>>5998288
Oh shit, I forgot to credit who took the photo. I got this from HunterX from MFC, I had to crop the watermark out to fit with the Nintendo macro.

'Spoopy'

I don't want to have to look at that for the next few days. Let this thread die. Make a new one.

>>5996039

I've seen every single WON figure in the GTA at least once. Even the Walmart exclusive golden Link

Here's some tips from the previous threads:

Beginners: practice on cheap figures first.

For sculpting on figures: use 2-part epoxy putty like Aves apoxie or fixit.

For tools: try a basic carving/sculpting set like the kind arts & crafts stores have, and calipers for symmetry.
Dental tools have also been said to work well.
Also, using a Dremel is recommended. Minimites (the small $20-25 ones) are fine for starting out, but the battery life is poor. Upgrade to a corded one only if you want to get deeper into customizing. They are useful for stuff outside of the hobby though, so it's a good investment regardless.

For paints: use acrylics. Paint in multiple, thin coats. Brands like Vallejo/P3/Citadel are recommended, because of pigment quality.

Use a sealer when finished to protect your work. There are matte varieties and sealers that give a glossy look. As with painting, use multiple thin coats.

A flex shaft attachment on a Dremel is a godsend and relatively inexpensive. The grinding shield is also pretty useful, but you can improvise one using a cut open soda bottle.

Also, there is a guide in the works, by mellow

>>6040871

I'd like to know this as well.

Craft stores like Hobby Lobby and Michael's have dollhouse sections with little packs of things like food, gardening tools, etc. for roughly 1/12 scale dolls.

Look for re-ments or orcara's. I usually find them at Asian markets or amiami and other online shops like that. Sometime at cons.
