What this anon said, I backed it too.

Everything after the first wave has been shit and nothing of value has been lost.

Thanks man

There used to be, but it splintered over the whole butt stuff/no butt stuff argument

Buy it or don't, no one cares

It'll probably be worth it if you're a big Iron Man fan and don't own the old plastic versions.

Looks to have some amazing engineering and features carried over from the recent 1/4 Mark 43, don't see how you can go wrong if you've got the cash to spare.

diecast is shit.
Horrible material that doesn't hold paint unless it's gloppy as fuck and even then it can and does chip off.
So it looks very dull, as in the paint is always overly thick looking and doesn't carry fine details. Which is why various companies use plastic on parts that are supposed to have fine details.

The only reason companies use diecast at all, is not only because it's cheaper to do than plastic, but because most consumers equate expensive with heavy. Thus, a lot of suckers will pay a premium for heavy shit.

Kinda a shame, Chicagofag here. I've been there a few times and its a kinda cool shop even if not my thing. I've spent maybe like $20-30 there at most since as you said, it mostly is "artsy" vinyl toys. They always have a art gallery, I remember being there in October one year and they had some cool Halloween illustration.

i like my blue omfg's

still hate the name of the line but pukeknight is still the boss

I used to live near this shop. Its in an area with outrageous rent and everything in it is 3A and overpriced hipster vinyl stuff. And plush rabbits with mustaches.

It as a nice artsy shop but I was always amazed it managed to stay in business- obviously it wasn't.

Feels good man.

>really want Back to the Future figures
>too poor for Hot Toys
>only alternative is Funko POP! or Funko reaction
Why can't there be a middle ground? Why does it have to be bottom of the barrel or top of the range. Figuarts would be nice, but I'd settle for even Hasbro tier.

Back to the Future toys are such a weird concept to me, because everyone in those movies look so boring to have as toys, but more power to you guys.

i didn't design the NAMBLA official position on man boy love figure

Transmetals seems like a good route for 3Psto tackle. The later bW stuff doesn't get much love in Japan, yet the mechanical detailing in the beast modes(and the lack of emphasis the show put on the organic bis in robot mode) probably gives it a good crossover audience with G1 style loving traditionalists.

That said, organic beast mode and all, I think a 3P BW Dinobot would be a decent seller, if Takara doesn't do an MP first.

YO. I don't usually buy Transformers anymore but this Beast Wars revival shit is really digging at me right now. This looks fucking amazing.

Literally walk into any Target, Toys R Us or Walmart and they'll have a decent enough selection of Marvel, Transformers, DC, Lego, Megabloks, and other random shit to buy. You'll probably enjoy 98% of what I've listed and in a few short weeks you'll have outgrown every American toyline because you find everything that doesn't have to be shipped from grand Nippon to be utterly worthless and beneath you.

>>5815957

Google characters/series you like, browse the selection then look for reviews.

Pretty much any review will go over quality, amount of articulation, paint job, and give you an overall idea on if the figure is worth it.

Only got Nagato and Shimikaze, but I will be getting the Iowa figma and I think I will be done.
I'm not interested in the source material at all, it's utter garb-o, but the designs are great and figma does them justice.

Plastic sleeve for the card (top loader optional), any form of stand (including just a prop) with some adhesive, and you're done. Or you can do some other stuff with just the card but risk ruining it.

>>5813436
Toploader + wire cleaner + crocodile clip

Thanks for the advice. Many of the card stands that I could find have the cards at an angle. Do they have vertical card stands?

I just received a big box of Ultraman & monster vinyls I had ordered from the HLJ summer sale, I had had them sent registered SAL so I took a while.

I basically got the leftovers of the Ultra Monster X series and a couple of 500 series figures. In hand they're really nicely detailed despite being such simple toys. I wish I had decided to place my order before some of the other kaiju I was eyeing had sold out.

I ended up with 11 kaiju and 3 of ultraman Xs forms, now I'm considering ordering some of the Ultraman Orb stuff, or possibly an X-Diviser so I can do something with all those cyber monster cards, though I haven't learned Japanese so I wouldn't understand most of what its saying...

>Thought about the legacy rider forms for EX-Aid
>We're gonna get SD Kamen Riders up the wazoo

SD Fourze and Gaim, i'm fucking ready.

>>5794648
It's been fucked for about a decade now. So why bring it up here?

>>5794648
Whoa, those guys owned MovieStops? those were a terrible idea

Yup, only place around here to really to get figures that weren't made by Hasbro or Mattel. They got an extension, but I don't think they're gonna get a buyer.
