Okay. Sorry you won't buy a toy.

Wheelie's kind of charming.
Does anyone here use Yahoo Auctions to get the goods? I started briefly checking them out and was surprised to see certain figures at strangely low prices.
So I have two questions. First off, how do you go about buying from them, is it possible to just punch in a western address and have the seller ship it off? Or is it necessary to use a third party service.
Second, how much of an issue are counterfeit figures both in general and on the site? Are there any decent tips on identifying them?

The great majority of Japanese sellers will not ship outside of Japan. You have to use a deputy service, which goes a long way in negating those low prices. I don't think you have to worry much about bootlegs, though I usually only go there for vintage stuff.

Anyone ever buy a Garage Kit via aliexpress? I seemed to have stumbled on a plethora of GK's I've had my eye on for a long time but had no idea I could get them there.

A guy bought one, it was alright. Like the original, it needs paint as it is a resin kit. Unlike the originals, it comes with joints instead of you needing to buy them separately.

Toys that flew under the radar. Anything that you're real into, but didn't seem to get enough attention. Make it unconventional and cool.

I am in the philippines for a while living with my fiance. I started collecting some diecast airliners because I love aviation. Recently two of my airliners developed a "condition." This condition seems to have melted the paint on two of the airliners. Not the base color, like white or blue, but the features like windows, airline name, doors, small livery features, etc. I am able to pick these planes up and smear off the paint with my thumb. As far as I can figure there are three possible causes to this:
1) handling them caused the paint to melt, either due to body heat or the oils from my skin. This is unlikely because it has only happened to two I handled the least.
2) the constant heat melted them. My room is not air conditioned because the AC doesn't make it past the threshold of the bedroom door. I don't know if this is it because all of them were sitting out on a shelf but it only happened to two of them.
3) this is weird but possibly the most likely: a fan caused it. Due to it being hot in the room I have a powerful fan blowing right at them from the other side of the room. The reason I think this could be the cause is because these two were front and center, with the other unaffected planes behind them.
What do you think? Is this common with diecasts? Picture related: one of the infected.

Anyone got an idea for a big strong anime man to add to this cluster of big strong anime men? I'm trying to keep it to one per series. Revoltech Kenshiro need not apply.
Also post thematically similar figures near each other.

Figma Cobra comes to mind.
Considering how great the Jojo SAS and Kinnikuman SHF line is, I wouldn't settle with just one figure
>>
>>5645372
I haven't settled with just one. I've got a Jotaro/SP and Kinnikuman Soldier elsewhere. Just trying to keep the rather limited display space as varied as possible.
Also, how much bullshit is it that Manga Colours Warsman and Robin Mask go up 20 minutes before Golden Week?
I just moved into a new place and I'm thinking about replacing my cheap bookcase I used to display my figures with a nice glass or curio case. Does anybody know of one that can fit 12"+ figures and isn't $500?

Are chinese bootlegs really made with unhealthy materials that cause cancer or is that just a meme to keep people from buying from China?

No plastic or paint fumes are good for you, regardless of where it is coming from.
>>
Authentic products are produced with volatile components as well. Third world country production of things isn't just a cost consideration, it's utilized because of lax safety standards abroad. Lead in paints to help strengthen it in the polymerization stage, plasticizers to help increase elasticity, etc. You can grab lead test strips from amazon and it's almost a guarantee that any authentic figures you buy would be flagged.
It's just ratio of key ingredients that differentiates real items and bootlegs at a certain point, but even then the difference is negligible.
>>
>>5642826
I remember my mother always saying when a toy reeks of plastic smells that it causes cancer.
It feels very exaggerated, by that logic every actionfigure I ever had would be affected, basically everything Mattel and Hasbro.
She also put the worst figures outside so they lose their smell but I doubt that this changes much if it is in the plastic itself.

No, seriously tho, let's do a topic about stuff that Funko's ReAction figures should do, if they were willing to get more adventurous.
As you can tell from my pic, I am immensely annoyed that; even tho they hold the Steven Universe license, they haven't even done any actual action figures with them. Especially for ReAction, but not in the usual pseudo-Kenner way.
I'm thinking more of a pastige of Rock Lords (Which was underrated dammit) IE, with the gem-characters able to transform into their gems and more articulated than normal. It'd probably be more expensive, but it'd be worth it as all hell. Well, I'd buy it at least...

Reaction should have died after Alien. It's literally real life ironic shitposting. Alien only gets a pass because they were based on actual Kenner designs.

Also, considering that Jason Eisner specifically said in interviews that they were based on the design aesthetics of 80s toys/80s toy villains, there really needs to be a ReAction for The Plague from Hobo With A Shotgun.
Hell, my idea for it would be as the kickoff to a larger-sized late-80s/early-90s-Playmates-house-style-styled (Think Ninja Turtles, Toxic Crusaders, Earthworm Jim, Dick Tracey, ect) size range for sleazier, more urban films.
My ideal films for that range'd include pretty much anything by David Cronenberg and Frank Heinlotter, Tokyo Gore Police, The Last Dragon, a melting-hobo figure based on Street Trash designed to ooze slime, Death Race 2000 (With possible vehicles using retooled molds of course) and even stuff from non-Toxie Troma films like Poultrygeist or Nuke-Em High!

Yeah, but they did actually also just license those unproduced figures for The Dark Crystal. Like, this isn't even a rumor, their original designer Tim Clarke (Who also did Sectaurs and Boglins BTW) actually not only confirmed this, but he's even shown off an all-new Augra sculpt he did for the line.
OF course, hopefully this means that there's hope for other unproduced 80s toylines, like The Last Starfighter in pic related.
But, yeah, speaking as OP, there is kind of an "off" quality in the earlier waves of ReAction figs in their mimicry of 80s toys compared to; say; the similar efforts of Warpo. Anyone more familiar with toy-design-aesthetics/manufacturing-practices able to explain that?
