Why the fuck did i buy a Miku figure?
Why the fuck did i buy TWO Miku figures?!
What has this board done to me...
I bought those as well. I would have liked a more punky snowboarder but w/e
>>5834596
It was hard to resist the design's nice even if i'm not into vocaloid and the accessories are fantastic.
>>5834569
Ive always wanted a Miku, but i just cant buy one because i just want ONE. she's like japan's Batman, Captain America and Optimus Prime or something
Look what I found tonight at Ross.

Stoked myself, this is my favorite of the two.
Are there any guides on how the Japanese watches work? I've seen things called "upgrade kits" that are SD cards, but I can't find anything on what medals work on which watch/upgrade.
What's the full list of differences between the US and Japanese watches? The US one seems pretty underwhelming.
>>5833225
US original (white and grey) watches can use all medals from Series 1-4 and are pretty similar to the Japanese watches. The new Yo-Motion stuff that's going to debut with the Zero watch is unique to America iirc.
>>5833231
Do any of them tell time and shoot sick lights to show me ghosts and shit?

A bit disappointed about CD chest wings being unable to move.
>>5831807
I honestly like the SDCC set's looks. I might try to nab one if I can get it off HTS for a reasonable price.
>>5831801
I do wish people posted more pics overall. They're usually fun.
When? I need an army of this guys...

TANK POLICE
FEEL THE POWER THAT THEY GOT
>>5830559
That design looks actually cool and interesting, unfortunately the odds of any toy of it happening is near zero. At least more boat shit was confirmed this wonfes (:
>>5830588
that tank looks too Metal Slug to get its own toy
Any of you getting the DreamEX 1/6 scale TMNT figures? How about theThreeZero ones? Or Mondo? It's nice to have so many choices! But which will be best?
Will anyone make a nice, sexy April in that scale?
>>5830258
While the DreamEX looks good, the 1/6 scale is putting me off. The Figuards shredder is also good, but I've already comitted to the NECA Arcade turtles/foot clan for my 1/6 toon styled turtles.
First Gokin's Shredder looks great to me, and I loved their Krang. They're still based on the cartoon, but with a lot of cool modern touches. If First Gokin does a Foot Soldier, Splinter, and titty monster April, I'll be in heaven. The Classic Collection Turtles and Bebop/Rocksteady work well enough with the First Gokin Figures that I'll be a happy camper.
>>5830258
I fucking love the look of that Shredder so much. It seems like a nice blend of the 1987 and 1990 aesthetics. However, this company seems pretty unknown and that's a pretty steep goddamned price point.
>>5831063
While I admire their effort, that thing is just too 90's edgy for me.
>>5831775
Yeah, that really is the thing making me hesitant to pre-order the figure; the chance they simply won't exist to complete their lineup. Of course, we already have Mondo And Threezero announcing their turtles figures in 1/6 so it wouldn't be too bad. At lease to I'd have a Shredder and Casey to go with them, even if they might not match stylistically.

Monthly Building Challenge:
Your challenge this month is to design a Microfighter for a vehicle that doesn't have one yet. It can be of any property, as long as it has 100 or less pieces, seats 1 minifig, and is cute and chibi. Get swooshing!
First for swooshability
Second for take down this thread we still have 7 spots left in the old one
For those unfamiliar, "Plamo" is a shortened form of "plastic model." If it's made of plastic, someone can probably help you here.

***GM Group Build***
Rules:
Pick an HG GM, and paint and customize it. For it to count as a GM, it literally just has to have GM in the name of the MS on the box, otherwise, no, it doesn't count. As far as customizing it, I'm going to place a limit on that. The limit is 50% additions to the kit.
To define 50%, look at it like this, you could take a GM Custom and replace the arms (including shoulders), legs, and backpack and I'd call that 50%. I'm not counting handheld bits in that. If you're unsure of something please ask in IRC, the thread, or email.
Due Date: 8/12
Submissions go to [email protected]
Submission format
Please submit photos in jpg via a compressed file (zip, rar, or 7zip), please don't link images to imgur or photobucket or the like. Please also name yourself, even if it's a pseudonym. Also indicate your participation in the contest below.
***Contest***
Instead of doing just a generic group build this time, there's going to be a prize pack. The prize pack will contain a GM Sniper K9, a set of glass paint mixing jars, and a Tamashii stand (sized for HGs or RDs). Shipping is at my expense.
Rules for the contest:
If you wish to enter the contest I'm going to actually need some proof. Please send me pictures of your kit as a work in progress and a final product with a timestamp and your email address. I hate to put his burden on you guys but this is the internet and people suck.
Judging
Regardless of who wins the contest proper, all entries will be made available on a blog post on Saturday, August 13th. Actual judging will take place Saturday as well, with the winner announced that evening. The winner will be contacted via email and be given a two day grace period for responding. PLEASE USE AN ACTIVE EMAIL WHEN SUBMITTING!
>Excited because Origin means we'll get an HG Ral's MS-04.
>Sunrise releases the lineart.
>Generic commander antenna instead of mohawk head crest.
God dammit WHY?
>>5824315
I should just pay someone to build my kit because wow I have no free time left. Still waiting for parts unfortunately.
How dissapointed/excited do you feel with the figmas announced this past Wonfes?

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

Let's talk about bootlegs and why sometimes you might think it's worth it, and share bootleg stories
Just got this probable piece of shit, who else has?
>>5822737
I have the legit one if that counts.
They're got the transformers bootlegs down to a science, honestly. They're usually a little loose, but it's fixable with future/nail polish/superglue. I've picked up a couple where the legit versions were getting crazy expensive on the aftermarket. Honestly, I wouldn't have even gotten into the masterpiece line if not for sideswipe, the original version was going for more than $120 when I got the bootleg for 30.
Stuff like figmas and figuarts tend to be much, much worse though. Actual molding differences, terrible paint for faces, joints not actually fitting into sockets, etc. It might seem like it's worth it if the price is low enough, but you'll probably regret it.
This thread's gonna be a shitstorm, btw.
>>5822775
I've got a friend with a handful of bootleg figmas. They range from "I guess that's worth 13 dollars" to "holy shit that's garbage"
Hey /toy/ I'm thinking about buying this figure,but there are a ton of Chinese bootlegs. Can any of you see obvious differences between the official and unofficial ones?
It's called " Nendoroid 553 The Legend of Zelda Link Majora's Mask 3D Ver. Figure "
>>5821155
Why don't you buy it from a legit retailer
>>5821155
Here's the bootleg BTW. If anyone here happened to own this figure and would post some non-promotional pictures,that'd be very helpful
>>5821155
To me, yes. The bootleg has no gradient shading at all in the hair, eyes and eyebrows.
The molding on the hair isn't anywhere near as sharp on the bootleg.
Another difference is the quality of accessories. The fairy in particular is easy to see here. And the figure will most likely look worse in person with scratches, dirt and weird bits.
It's on, we're officially scheduled for the banner contest. How many of you are intending to submit a banner? Any good idea?
Pointers based on previous contest and current winners:
>If you submit a banner and don't receive a confirmation page, then is pretty likely your banner wasn't received by the admins. Try again, resize it if necesary.
>.gifs are more likely to win than static images.
>Almost all banners somehow made reference to their board memes.
>>5815751
We need a picture of optimus prime dumping potatoes out of his trailer with a spinning "how you like the poattoe cook that way!?!"
I already know I'm going to win this one. I have the perfect idea and the perfect figure for it.
Think I can win with this?
