Where to buy
>GSC Online Shop - some figmas only are available through their online shop

>Hobby Link Japan shipping is usual lower, but their prices are a bit higher, private warehaouse is available
>Hobby Search Japan - items stay in stock the longest
>Mandarake - search figma or フィグマ
>eBay/Amazon - only if you hate having too much money. Avoid bootlegs, you can spot them as 'Chinese version'

>Check the BST threads, My Figure Collection for any offer/deal

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

>January 2017 release
I'm guessing that the hight price is because these will be a two pack figure, if not it will be expensive as fuck
What's the deal with this thing? I don't see preorders for it anywhere else but deep internet sites and ebay, and those list it's release as like august. Anyone have any more information about it?
>>5763136
>>5763136
Word is that they're really good, at least from the ones released so far. Equivalent to/slightly better than Hot Toys Iron Man figures at 3/4 the size.
I'm waiting for a design I care about more than the 42/43 or the other Iron Man 3 suits to become readily available, then I'm going to take the plunge for myself.
As it stands, they only have the license for China, so your best bet to get hold of these is local sellers in Hong Kong.
anyone got any ideas what to make up for the /toy/ banner?
I was thinking something like pic related
>>5762924
or this
>>5762924
Drossels and Yotsubas should be included.
>>5762933
im hoping someone could make a pic just for this banner, instead of me just picking from my favorite stuff (and thats without their permission)
Characters you think deserve good figures but you know never will
Instead we'll get 30 more Megaman figures.

anyone get their mighty no. 9 toy yet? id think at least one of you would talk about it.
>>5762500
Man that looks embarassing.
what the fuck is wrong with its face?

Is he trying to fist bump 2 imaginary friends while falling down just after his knee has exploded?
Its a con exclusive.
GSC Online Store exclusive
>>5755997
>It's a kickstarter stretch goal figure
>it's not an exclusive but for some reason it only shows up in some other country like the Netherlands
Why were these so under rated?
because
>hurrrr hating Funko is cool, im such an edgy toy collector
The articulation is abysmal, they can't stand well on their own besides a shitty static pose. Hands are tiny and cannot hold their weapons in a way any real hand could. The sculpts are blobby and the paint applications are just lazy drybrushed shit.
I only have the power armor, but its proportions are off, is not very accurate to the game model, and the paint application is plain and in certain areas gloppy. Their game of thrones figures are much better done for some reason.
I wanna see cool toys that you can only find in places that AREN'T a normal toy store. (Museums, Zoos, etc.)
Bought one of these back around '00. At one of the smithsonian buildings (prolly the aerospace one) It has suction cups on it's feet that it alternates so that it can walk vertically or upside down. Plus, it looks like a baby version of ED-209
Toy.... kinda...
I say kinda because to make this little engine go you fill the boiler with water, light a fire, oil it, and wait for steam to build.
Once steam is built up, you have a real steam engine trundling around on your flood. Child hood dream come true!
>>5754521
Holy shit I have one of those, it's still at my parent's house. That thing was rad
>>5754529
That's pretty cool...sounds a little dangerous to give to a child, but still cool
Have you bowed to your Khan lately?
>removable helmet
Man, I hope this doesn't get cancelled.

I never voted for him.
What's he look like without the helmet?

Why no good Overwatch figs?
>>5746588
Because, Overwatch no good
Toys riding things
It triggers the fuck out of me when people can't pose animals realistically. Horse's legs do not fucking bend like that, not even close. It looks so dumb and lazy. Is searching Google Images for "horse gallop" so hard?

Ay, reminder to not throw a shitfit when someone doesn't agree with you.
Here's what we discussed in last thread:
>Kayke does more TMI stuff post-Doll A-Kon, also has to modify Coffee before she sends her out to customers that have waited a year.
>Once again we discuss how furries aren't into the market
>Fairyland hippogriffs sellin' like hotcakes
>Recast debate ongoing
It's okay if you're on either side, but don't devolve the conversation to namecalling and shit that may derail.
Pretty sure there was a lot I've missed. I'm so out of it.
>>5741049
I thought that was a bundle of cigs hangin off the girl, but I'm guessing it's a tassel?
>>5741056
Yeah, one of those made from strips of leather, it looks like. Doesn't look so great at that scale. Dem nails tho.
Figured i'd make a new thread since old one is dead and buried.
Anyone non-backers got their figures in yet? Still waiting on mine..
>backer
>got an email from FedEx saying mine was delivered this morning
>to my grandparents two towns over
>car's in the shop
I guess I'm taking the bus over tomorrow morning. I don't remember using their address or why I did, but I guess I did.
I wasn't a backer but I got in on the brief order window they had after the kickstarter ended last year & ordered up the ones I didn't buy the year before during that second window a few weeks ago but since they are still plowing through the backers I'm really not expecting mine anytime soon.
I'm OK with it. I kinda went crazy with the Skelly army builders so I'm gonna have to make some room.
Blood Knight and the Ork Army Builder came in today, along with the ork weapon pack.
BK, being a Gorgo repaint with new horns, is still really cool. His cape, however, was a pain to figure out how to attach. Apparently Gorgo's cape is heavier, which I think would have helped it hang and look more natural, but as is, he's still awesome.
The Ork is similarly fantastic, though his orky sword slips out of his hands with ease.
Both figures' joints are nice and tight and I can't wait for my Barbarian kit and Gideon.
Looking forward to the new figures, if they ever get announced.
